Faarfannaa 147
1 Haalleluuyaa. Faarfannaadhaan Waaqa galateeffachuun akkam gaarii dha; isa galateeffachuun akkam gammachiisaa fi kan maluu dha!
Praise ye the LORD: for [it is] good to sing praises unto our God; for [it is] pleasant; [and] praise is comely.
2 Waaqayyo Yerusaalemin ni ijaara; Israaʼeloota boojiʼamanis walitti qaba.
The LORD doth build up Jerusalem: he gathereth together the outcasts of Israel.
3 Warra garaan cabe ni fayyisa; madaa isaaniis walitti hodha.
He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds.
4 Inni baayʼina urjiiwwanii ni beeka; tokkoo tokkoo isaaniis maqaa maqaadhaan waama.
He telleth the number of the stars; he calleth them all by [their] names.
5 Gooftaan keenya guddaa dha; humni isaas jabaa dha; hubannaan isaas dhuma hin qabu.
Great [is] our Lord, and of great power: his understanding [is] infinite.
6 Waaqayyo warra gad qabaman ni jiraachisa; hamoota garuu lafatti darbata.
The LORD lifteth up the meek: he casteth the wicked down to the ground.
7 Galata galchaa Waaqayyoon faarfadhaa; baganaadhaanis Waaqa keenyaaf weeddisaa.
Sing unto the LORD with thanksgiving; sing praise upon the harp unto our God:
8 Inni samiiwwani duumessaan haguuga; lafaafis bokkaa kenna; tulluuwwan irrattis marga biqilcha.
Who covereth the heaven with clouds, who prepareth rain for the earth, who maketh grass to grow upon the mountains.
9 Horiidhaaf waan isaan dheedan, yommuu ilmaan arraagessaa iyyanitti nyaata isaaniif ni kenna.
He giveth to the beast his food, [and] to the young ravens which cry.
10 Inni jabina fardaatti hin gammadu; yookaan miilli namaa isa hin gammachiisu;
He delighteth not in the strength of the horse: he taketh not pleasure in the legs of a man.
11 Waaqayyo warra isa sodaatanitti, warra araara isaa abdatanitti ni gammada.
The LORD taketh pleasure in them that fear him, in those that hope in his mercy.
12 Yaa Yerusaalem, Waaqayyoon galateeffadhu; Yaa Xiyoon Waaqa kee galateeffadhu.
Praise the LORD, O Jerusalem; praise thy God, O Zion.
13 Inni danqaraa karra keetii ni jabeessaatii; ijoollee kees si keessatti eebbisa.
For he hath strengthened the bars of thy gates; he hath blessed thy children within thee.
14 Daarii keetiif nagaa kenna; qamadii qulqulluudhaanis si quubsa.
He maketh peace [in] thy borders, [and] filleth thee with the finest of the wheat.
15 Inni ajaja isaa gara lafaatti ni erga; dubbiin isaas ni ariifata.
He sendeth forth his commandment [upon] earth: his word runneth very swiftly.
16 Inni cabbii akkuma suufiitti diriirsa; qorras akkuma daaraatti bittinneessa.
He giveth snow like wool: he scattereth the hoarfrost like ashes.
17 Dhagaa cabbii akkuma cirrachaa gad darbata. Dhaamocha isaa dura eenyutu dhaabachuu dandaʼa?
He casteth forth his ice like morsels: who can stand before his cold?
18 Inni dubbii isaa ergee isaan baqsa; bubbee isaa ni kaasa; bishaanonnis ni yaaʼu.
He sendeth out his word, and melteth them: he causeth his wind to blow, [and] the waters flow.
19 Inni dubbii isaa Yaaqoobitti, seeraa fi sirna isaa immoo Israaʼelitti mulʼiseera.
He sheweth his word unto Jacob, his statutes and his judgments unto Israel.
20 Waan kana saba biraa tokkoof iyyuu hin goone; isaan seera isaa hin beekan. Haalleluuyaa.
He hath not dealt so with any nation: and [as for his] judgments, they have not known them. Praise ye the LORD.
