Faarfannaa 146

1 Haalleluuyaa. Yaa lubbuu ko, Waaqayyoon galateeffadhu.

Praise ye Jah! Praise, O my soul, Jehovah.

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

I praise Jehovah during my life, I sing praise to my God while I exist.

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

Trust not in princes — in a son of man, For he hath no deliverance.

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

His spirit goeth forth, he returneth to his earth, In that day have his thoughts perished.

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

O the happiness of him Who hath the God of Jacob for his help, His hope [is] on Jehovah his God,

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

Making the heavens and earth, The sea and all that [is] in them, Who is keeping truth to the age,

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

Doing judgment for the oppressed, Giving bread to the hungry.

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

Jehovah is loosing the prisoners, Jehovah is opening (the eyes of) the blind, Jehovah is raising the bowed down, Jehovah is loving 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.

Jehovah is preserving the strangers, The fatherless and widow He causeth to stand, And the way of the wicked He turneth upside down.

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

Jehovah doth reign to the age, Thy God, O Zion, to generation and generation, Praise ye Jah!
