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 psalm of the sons of Korah.” Great is Jehovah, and greatly to be praised In the city of our God, upon his holy mountain.
2 Tulluun Xiyoon gara kaabaatti argama; dheerina isaatiinis ni bareeda. Innis gammachuu addunyaa hundaa ti; magaalaa Mooticha Guddaatis.
Beautiful in its elevation is Mount Zion, The joy of the whole earth; The joy of the farthest North is the city of the great king;
3 Waaqni daʼannoo ishee keessa jira; inni daʼannoo ishee taʼuu isaa argisiiseera.
In her palaces God is known as a refuge.
4 Mootonni humna walitti daratanii tokkummaadhaan itti qajeelan.
For, lo! kings were assembled against it; They passed away together.
5 Isaanis ishee arganii dinqifatan; sodaataniis baqatan.
As soon as they saw, they were astonished; They were confounded, and hasted away.
6 Achittis akkuma muddama dubartii ciniinsifattuutti, hollannaan isaan qabate.
There terror seized upon them, —Pain, as of a woman in travail;
7 Atis bubbee baʼa biiftuutiin dooniiwwan Tarshiish caccabsite.
As when the east wind breaketh in pieces 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 the LORD of hosts, in the city of our God; God will establish it for ever. (Pause)
9 Yaa Waaqayyo, nu mana qulqullummaa kee keessatti, jaalala kee kan hin geeddaramne sana irra deddeebinee yaadna.
We think of thy loving-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, O God! so thy praise, extendeth to the ends of the earth; Thy right hand is full of righteousness.
11 Sababii murtii keetiitiif, Tulluun Xiyoon haa gammaddu; intallan Yihuudaas haa ililchan.
Mount Zion rejoiceth, The daughters of Judah exult, On account of thy righteous judgments.
12 Xiyoon irra naannaʼaa; naannoo ishee irras adeemaa; gamoowwan ishees lakkaaʼaa.
Go round about Zion; number her towers;
13 Dhaloota itti aanutti akka himtaniif, dallaa eegumsa ishee sirriitti hubadhaa; galma ishees ilaalaa.
Mark well her bulwarks; count her palaces; That ye may tell it to the next generation!
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 unto death.
