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 and psalm by the sons of Korach.” Great is the Lord, and highly praised in the city of our God, [in] his holy mountain.
2 Tulluun Xiyoon gara kaabaatti argama; dheerina isaatiinis ni bareeda. Innis gammachuu addunyaa hundaa ti; magaalaa Mooticha Guddaatis.
A beautiful district, the joy of the whole earth, is mount Zion, the farthest north, the city of the great King.
3 Waaqni daʼannoo ishee keessa jira; inni daʼannoo ishee taʼuu isaa argisiiseera.
God is become known in her palaces as a defence.
4 Mootonni humna walitti daratanii tokkummaadhaan itti qajeelan.
For, lo, the kings were assembled, they are passed away together.
5 Isaanis ishee arganii dinqifatan; sodaataniis baqatan.
They indeed saw—[and] so they were astonished; they were terrified, they were confounded.
6 Achittis akkuma muddama dubartii ciniinsifattuutti, hollannaan isaan qabate.
Trembling seized on them there, pain, as on a woman in travail.
7 Atis bubbee baʼa biiftuutiin dooniiwwan Tarshiish caccabsite.
With the east wind thou breakest the ships of Tharshish.
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 [it] in the city of the Lord of hosts, in the city of our God: God will establish it for ever. (Selah)
9 Yaa Waaqayyo, nu mana qulqullummaa kee keessatti, jaalala kee kan hin geeddaramne sana irra deddeebinee yaadna.
We have reflected on thy kindness, O God, in the midst of thy temple.
10 Yaa Waaqayyo, galanni kee akkuma maqaa keetii handaara lafaa gaʼa; harki kee mirgaas qajeelummaan guutameera.
As thy name is, O God, so is thy praise over the ends of the earth: of righteousness is thy right hand full.
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.
Compass Zion about, and walk round about her; number her towers.
13 Dhaloota itti aanutti akka himtaniif, dallaa eegumsa ishee sirriitti hubadhaa; galma ishees ilaalaa.
Direct your mind to her outer wall, mark carefully her palaces: in order that ye may tell it to the latest generation.
14 Waaqni kun bara baraa hamma bara baraatti Waaqa keenyaatii; inni hamma dhumaatti illee nu qajeelcha.
For this One is God, our God for ever and ever: he will be our guide even unto death.
