Faarfannaa 23

1 Faarfannaa Daawit. Waaqayyo tiksee koo ti; ani homaa hin dhabu.

A psalm of David. Yahweh is my shepherd; I will lack nothing.

2 Inni marga lalisaa keessa na boqochiisa; gara bishaan tasgabbaaʼaattis na geessa;

He makes me to lie down in green pastures; he leads me beside tranquil water.

3 inni lubbuu natti deebisa. Maqaa isaatiif jedhees karaa qajeelaa irra na deemsisa.

He brings back my life; he guides me along right paths for his name's sake.

4 Ani yoon sulula gaaddisa duʼaa keessa deeme illee ati waan na wajjin jirtuuf, homaa hin sodaadhu; uleen keetii fi bokkuun kee na jajjabeessu.

Even though I walk through a valley of darkest shadow, I will not fear harm since you are with me; your rod and your staff comfort me.

5 Ati utuma diinonni koo ilaalanuu fuula koo duratti maaddii naa qopheessita. Mataa koo zayitii dibda; xoofoon koos guutuu irraan dhangalaʼaa dha.

You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; you have anointed my head with oil; my cup runs over.

6 Dhugumaan gaarummaan keetii fi araarri kee, bara jireenya kootii hunda na duukaa buʼu; anis bara baraan, mana Waaqayyoo keessa nan jiraadha.

Surely goodness and covenant faithfulness will pursue me all the days of my life; and I will live in the house of Yahweh for a very long time!
