Faarfannaa 48
1 Weedduu. Faarfannaa Ilmaan Qooraahi. Magaalaa Waaqa keenyaa keessatti, tulluu isaa qulqulluu irrattis, Waaqayyo guddaa dha; waan hundaa olittis galanni isaaf mala.
A Song; a Psalm. Of the sons of Korah. Great is Jehovah, and greatly to be praised in the city of our God, in the hill of his holiness.
2 Tulluun Xiyoon gara kaabaatti argama; dheerina isaatiinis ni bareeda. Innis gammachuu addunyaa hundaa ti; magaalaa Mooticha Guddaatis.
Beautiful in elevation, the joy of the whole earth, is mount Zion, [on] the sides of the north, the city of the great King.
3 Waaqni daʼannoo ishee keessa jira; inni daʼannoo ishee taʼuu isaa argisiiseera.
God is known in her palaces as a high fortress.
4 Mootonni humna walitti daratanii tokkummaadhaan itti qajeelan.
For behold, the kings assembled themselves, they passed by together;
5 Isaanis ishee arganii dinqifatan; sodaataniis baqatan.
They saw, — so they marvelled; they were troubled, they fled in consternation:
6 Achittis akkuma muddama dubartii ciniinsifattuutti, hollannaan isaan qabate.
Trembling took hold upon them there; anguish, as of a woman in travail.
7 Atis bubbee baʼa biiftuutiin dooniiwwan Tarshiish caccabsite.
With an east wind thou hast broken the ships of Tarshish.
8 Akkuma dhageenye sana, magaalaa Waaqayyoo Waan Hunda Dandaʼuu keessatti, magaalaa Waaqa keenyaa keessatti, akkasuma argineerra; Waaqni bara baraan jabeessee ishee dhaaba.
As we have heard, so have we seen, in the city of Jehovah of hosts, in the city of our God: God doth establish it for ever. (Selah)
9 Yaa Waaqayyo, nu mana qulqullummaa kee keessatti, jaalala kee kan hin geeddaramne sana irra deddeebinee yaadna.
We have thought, O God, of thy loving-kindness, in the midst of thy temple.
10 Yaa Waaqayyo, galanni kee akkuma maqaa keetii handaara lafaa gaʼa; harki kee mirgaas qajeelummaan guutameera.
According to thy name, O God, so is thy praise unto the ends of the earth: thy right hand is full of righteousness.
11 Sababii murtii keetiitiif, Tulluun Xiyoon haa gammaddu; intallan Yihuudaas haa ililchan.
Let mount Zion rejoice, let the daughters of Judah be glad, because of thy judgments.
12 Xiyoon irra naannaʼaa; naannoo ishee irras adeemaa; gamoowwan ishees lakkaaʼaa.
Walk about Zion, and go round about her: count the towers thereof;
13 Dhaloota itti aanutti akka himtaniif, dallaa eegumsa ishee sirriitti hubadhaa; galma ishees ilaalaa.
Mark ye well her bulwarks, consider her palaces: that ye may tell it to the generation following.
14 Waaqni kun bara baraa hamma bara baraatti Waaqa keenyaatii; inni hamma dhumaatti illee nu qajeelcha.
For this God is our God for ever and ever; he will be our guide until death.
