Faarfannaa 146

1 Haalleluuyaa. Yaa lubbuu ko, Waaqayyoon galateeffadhu.

Let the Lord be praised. Give praise to the Lord, O my soul.

2 Ani bara jireenya koo guutuu Waaqayyoon nan galateeffadha; ani hamman jirutti Waaqaaf nan faarfadha.

While I have breath I will give praise to the Lord: I will make melody to my God while I have my being.

3 Abdii keessan bulchitoota irra, namoota duʼa hin oolle warra isin gargaaruu hin dandeenye irra hin kaaʼatinaa.

Put not your faith in rulers, or in the son of man, in whom there is no salvation.

4 Isaan yeruma lubbuun isaan keessaa baatu gara lafaatti deebiʼu; guyyuma sanas karoorri isaanii bada.

Man's breath goes out, he is turned back again to dust; in that day all his purposes come to an end.

5 Namni gargaarsi isaa Waaqa Yaaqoob taʼe, kan abdiin isaas Waaqayyo Waaqa isaa taʼe eebbifamaa dha.

Happy is the man who has the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in the Lord his God:

6 Waaqayyo Uumaa samii fi lafaa, galaanaa fi waan isaan keessa jiru hundaa ti; inni bara baraan amanamaa taʼe jiraata.

Who made heaven and earth, the sea, and all things in them; who keeps faith for ever:

7 Inni warra cunqurfamaniif ni mura; warra beelaʼaniif nyaata kenna. Waaqayyo warra hidhaman illee ni hiika;

Who gives their rights to those who are crushed down; and gives food to those who are in need of it: the Lord makes the prisoners free;

8 Waaqayyo jaamotaaf agartuu ni kenna; Waaqayyo warra gad deebiʼan ol qaba; Waaqayyo qajeeltota ni jaallata.

The Lord makes open the eyes of the blind; the Lord is the lifter up of those who are bent down; the Lord is a lover of the upright;

9 Waaqayyo alagaadhaaf eegumsa ni godha; ijoollee haadhaa fi abbaa hin qabnee fi dubartoota dhirsoonni irraa duʼan ni jiraachisa; karaa jalʼootaa garuu ni balleessa.

The Lord takes care of those who are in a strange land; he gives help to the widow and to the child who has no father; but he sends destruction on the way of sinners.

10 Waaqayyo bara baraan ni moʼa; Yaa Xiyoon, Waaqni kee dhaloota hundaaf mootii taʼa. Haalleluuyaa.

The Lord will be King for ever; your God, O Zion, will be King through all generations. Praise be to the Lord.
