1 Haalleluuyaa. Faarfannaadhaan Waaqa galateeffachuun akkam gaarii dha; isa galateeffachuun akkam gammachiisaa fi kan maluu dha!
Alleluia, [a Psalm] of Aggaeus and Zacharias. Praise you the Lord: for psalmody is a good thing; let praise be sweetly sung to our God.

Begin [the song] with thanksgiving to the Lord; sing praises on the harp to our God:
8 Inni samiiwwani duumessaan haguuga; lafaafis bokkaa kenna; tulluuwwan irrattis marga biqilcha.
who covers the heaven with clouds, who prepares rain for the earth, who causes grass to spring up on the mountains, [[and green herb for the service of men; ]]
9 Horiidhaaf waan isaan dheedan, yommuu ilmaan arraagessaa iyyanitti nyaata isaaniif ni kenna.
and gives cattle their food, and to the young ravens that call upon him.
10 Inni jabina fardaatti hin gammadu; yookaan miilli namaa isa hin gammachiisu;
He will not take pleasure in the strength of a horse; neither is he well-pleased with the legs of a man.
11 Waaqayyo warra isa sodaatanitti, warra araara isaa abdatanitti ni gammada.
The Lord takes pleasure in them that fear him, and in all that hope in his mercy.
12 Yaa Yerusaalem, Waaqayyoon galateeffadhu; Yaa Xiyoon Waaqa kee galateeffadhu.

14 Daarii keetiif nagaa kenna; qamadii qulqulluudhaanis si quubsa.

15 Inni ajaja isaa gara lafaatti ni erga; dubbiin isaas ni ariifata.
He sends his oracle to the earth: his word will run swiftly.
16 Inni cabbii akkuma suufiitti diriirsa; qorras akkuma daaraatti bittinneessa.

17 Dhagaa cabbii akkuma cirrachaa gad darbata. Dhaamocha isaa dura eenyutu dhaabachuu dandaʼa?

18 Inni dubbii isaa ergee isaan baqsa; bubbee isaa ni kaasa; bishaanonnis ni yaaʼu.
He shall send out his word, and melt them: he shall blow [with] his wind, and the waters shall flow.
19 Inni dubbii isaa Yaaqoobitti, seeraa fi sirna isaa immoo Israaʼelitti mulʼiseera.
He sends his word to Jacob, his ordinances and judgments to Israel.
20 Waan kana saba biraa tokkoof iyyuu hin goone; isaan seera isaa hin beekan. Haalleluuyaa.
