Faarfannaa 24

1 Faarfannaa Daawit. Laftii fi wanni lafa irra jiru hundinuu, addunyaa fi wanni ishee keessa jiraatu hundinuus kan Waaqayyoo ti;

Of David. A psalm. The earth is the Lord’s and all that it holds, the world and those who live in it.

2 inni galaanota irratti ishee hundeesseeraatii; bishaan irras ishee dhaabeera.

For he founded it on the seas, and on the floods he sustains it.

3 Eenyutu tulluu Waaqayyootti ol baʼa? Iddoo isaa qulqulluu sanas eenyutu dhaabata?

Who may ascend the hill of the Lord? Who may stand in his holy place?

4 Nama harka qulqulluu fi garaa qulqulluu qabu, nama lubbuu isaa gara waaqa tolfamaatti ol hin kaafne yookaan nama sobaan hin kakannee dha.

The clean of hands, the pure of heart, who sets not their heart upon sinful things, nor swears with intent to deceive:

5 Inni Waaqayyo biraa eebba, Waaqa Fayyisaa isaa biraa immoo qajeelummaa ni argata.

they win from the Lord a blessing: God is their champion and saviour.

6 Dhaloonni kun dhaloota warra isa barbaadanii ti; kan dhaloota warra fuula Waaqa Yaaqoob barbaadanii ti.

Such must be those who resort to him, and seek the face of the God of Jacob. (Selah)

7 Yaa karroota nana, mataa keessan ol qabadhaa; isinis balbalawwan durii, akka mootiin ulfinaa ol galuuf ol qabamaa.

Lift high your heads, you gates – Higher, you ancient doors; welcome the glorious king.

8 Mootiin ulfinaa kun eenyu? Waaqayyo jabaa fi humna qabeessa, Waaqayyo isa waraana keessattis humna qabu sanaa dha.

‘Who is the glorious king?’ ‘The Lord strong and heroic, the Lord heroic in battle.’

9 Yaa karroota nana, mataa keessan ol qabadhaa; isinis balbalawwan durii akka mootiin ulfinaa ol galuuf mataa keessan ol qabadhaa.

Lift high your heads, you gates – Higher, you ancient doors; welcome the glorious king.

10 Mootiin ulfinaa kun eenyu? Waaqayyoon Waan Hunda Dandaʼu sun, inni Mootii ulfinaa ti.

‘Who is the glorious king?’ ‘The Lord, the God of hosts, he is the glorious king.’ (Selah)
