Faarfannaa 146

1 Haalleluuyaa. Yaa lubbuu ko, Waaqayyoon galateeffadhu.

My soul, praise the Lord.

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

I will praise the Lord, while I live; I will sing to my God, while I am.

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

Put not your trust in princes mortals, in whom is no help.

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

When their breath goes out, they go back to the dust: on that very day their purposes perish.

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

Happy those whose help is the God of Jacob: whose hope is set on the Lord their God,

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

the Creator of heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them. He remains eternally loyal.

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

For the wronged he executes justice; he gives bread to the hungry; the Lord releases the prisoners.

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

The Lord gives sight to the blind: the Lord raises those who are bowed. The Lord loves the righteous.

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 preserves the stranger, upholds the widow and orphan, but the wicked he leads to disaster.

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

The Lord shall reign forever, your God, O Zion, to all generations. Hallelujah.
