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 Melodious Song. For the Sons of Korah. Great is Yahweh, and worthy to be mightily praised, In the city of our God, His holy mountain.
2 Tulluun Xiyoon gara kaabaatti argama; dheerina isaatiinis ni bareeda. Innis gammachuu addunyaa hundaa ti; magaalaa Mooticha Guddaatis.
Beautiful in elevation, the joy of all the land, Is Mount Zion, in the recesses of the north, —The city of a great king.
3 Waaqni daʼannoo ishee keessa jira; inni daʼannoo ishee taʼuu isaa argisiiseera.
God, in her palaces, is to be known as a high tower.
4 Mootonni humna walitti daratanii tokkummaadhaan itti qajeelan.
For lo! Kings—Met as appointed, Passed by together;
5 Isaanis ishee arganii dinqifatan; sodaataniis baqatan.
They themselves, saw, So, were they amazed, Dismayed—they hurried way!
6 Achittis akkuma muddama dubartii ciniinsifattuutti, hollannaan isaan qabate.
Trembling, seized them, there, Pangs. like hers who is in travail.
7 Atis bubbee baʼa biiftuutiin dooniiwwan Tarshiish caccabsite.
With an east wind, wilt thou shatter 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.
Just as we have heard, So, have we seen, In the city of Yahweh of hosts, In the city of our God, God himself, will establish her, unto times age-abiding. (Selah)
9 Yaa Waaqayyo, nu mana qulqullummaa kee keessatti, jaalala kee kan hin geeddaramne sana irra deddeebinee yaadna.
We have thought, O God, upon thy lovingkindness, 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, be thy praise, unto the ends of the earth, With righteousness, is, thy right hand, filled.
11 Sababii murtii keetiitiif, Tulluun Xiyoon haa gammaddu; intallan Yihuudaas haa ililchan.
Let Mount Zion rejoice, Let the daughters of Judah exult, Because of thy judgments.
12 Xiyoon irra naannaʼaa; naannoo ishee irras adeemaa; gamoowwan ishees lakkaaʼaa.
Go round Zion, and compass her about, Reckon up her towers;
13 Dhaloota itti aanutti akka himtaniif, dallaa eegumsa ishee sirriitti hubadhaa; galma ishees ilaalaa.
Apply your mind to her rampart, Pass between her palaces, That ye may recount them to an after generation;
14 Waaqni kun bara baraa hamma bara baraatti Waaqa keenyaatii; inni hamma dhumaatti illee nu qajeelcha.
For, this God, is our God, to times age-abiding and beyond, He himself, will conduct us till death.
