Faarfannaa 29

1 Faarfannaa Daawit. Isin jajjabeeyyiin, Waaqayyoof fidaa; ulfinaa fi jabina Waaqayyoof fidaa.

A Psalm by David. Ascribe to Yahweh, you sons of the mighty, ascribe to Yahweh glory and strength.

2 Ulfina maqaa isaatiif malu Waaqayyoof kennaa; iddoo qulqullummaa isaatti Waaqayyoon waaqeffadhaa.

Ascribe to Yahweh the glory due to his name. Worship Yahweh in holy array.

3 Sagaleen Waaqayyoo bishaanota irra jira; Waaqni ulfinaa ni qaqawweessaʼa; Waaqayyo bishaanota baayʼee irratti ni qaqawweessaʼa.

Yahweh’s voice is on the waters. The God of glory thunders, even Yahweh on many waters.

4 Sagaleen Waaqayyoo humna qaba; sagaleen Waaqayyoo surra qabeessa.

Yahweh’s voice is powerful. Yahweh’s voice is full of majesty.

5 Sagaleen Waaqayyoo birbirsa ni cabsa; Waaqayyo birbirsa Libaanoon ni caccabsa.

Yahweh’s voice breaks the cedars. Yes, Yahweh breaks in pieces the cedars of Lebanon.

6 Inni Libaanoonin akka jabbiitti, Siiriyoonin immoo akka dibicha gafarsaatti ni utaalchisa.

He makes them also to skip like a calf; Lebanon and Sirion like a young, wild ox.

7 Sagaleen Waaqayyoo balaqqeessa bakakkaatiin rukuta.

Yahweh’s voice strikes with flashes of lightning.

8 Sagaleen Waaqayyoo gammoojjii sochoosa; Waaqayyo Gammoojjii Qaadesh sochoosa.

Yahweh’s voice shakes the wilderness. Yahweh shakes the wilderness of Kadesh.

9 Sagaleen Waaqayyoo qilxuu micciira; bosonas qullaatti hambisa. Hundinuus mana qulqullummaa isaa keessatti, “Ulfina!” jedhee iyya.

Yahweh’s voice makes the deer calve, and strips the forests bare. In his temple everything says, “Glory!”

10 Waaqayyo lolaa badiisaatiin olitti teessoo isaa irra taaʼa; Waaqayyo Mootii taʼee bara baraan teessoo isaa irra taaʼa.

Yahweh sat enthroned at the Flood. Yes, Yahweh sits as King forever.

11 Waaqayyo saba isaatiif jabina kenna; Waaqayyo saba isaa nagaadhaan eebbisa.

Yahweh will give strength to his people. Yahweh will bless his people with peace.
