1 Faarfannaa Solomoon. Yaa Waaqi, murtii kee mootiidhaaf, qajeelumma kee immoo ilma mootiitiif kenni.
Of Solomon. Endow the king with Your justice, O God, and the son of the king with Your righteousness.
2 Innis saba keetiif qajeelummaadhaan murteessa; hiyyeeyyiifis murtii qajeelaa kenna.
May he judge Your people with righteousness and Your afflicted with justice.
3 Tulluuwwan badhaadhummaa, gaarran immoo ija qajeelummaa sabaaf haa fidan.
May the mountains bring peace to the people, and the hills bring righteousness.
4 Inni hiyyeeyyii saba keessa jiraataniif ni falma; ijoollee rakkattootaa ni oolcha; cunqursituu immoo ni barbadeessa.
May he vindicate the afflicted among the people; may he save the children of the needy and crush the oppressor.
5 Namoonni hamma aduun jiraattuu fi hamma jiʼi jiraatutti, dhalootaa hamma dhalootaatti si sodaatu.
May they fear him as long as the sun shines, as long as the moon remains, through all generations.
6 Inni akkuma bokkaa marga haamame irratti roobuu, akkuma tiifuu lafa jiisuuttis ni dhufa.
May he be like rain that falls on freshly cut grass, like spring showers that water the earth.
7 Bara isaa keessa qajeelummaan ni daraara; nageenyis hamma jiʼi dhabamutti ni baayʼata.
May the righteous flourish in his days and prosperity abound, until the moon is no more.
8 Innis galaanaa hamma galaanaatti, Laga Efraaxiisii hamma moggaa lafaatti ni bulcha.
May he rule from sea to sea, and from the Euphrates to the ends of the earth.
9 Warri gammoojjii keessa jiraatan fuula isaa duratti ni sagadu; diinonni isaas biyyoo arraabu.
May the nomads bow before him, and his enemies lick the dust.
10 Mootonni Tarshiishii fi mootonni biyyoota qarqarawwan galaana fagoo gibira isaaf ni fidu; mootonni Shebaatii fi mootonni Saabaa kennaa ni fiduuf.
May the kings of Tarshish and distant shores bring tribute; may the kings of Sheba and Seba offer gifts.
11 Mootonni hundinuus isaaf ni sagadu; saboonni hundinuus isa ni tajaajilu.
May all kings bow down to him and all nations serve him.
12 Inni nama rakkatee gara isaatti iyyu, hiyyeessaa fi nama gargaarsa hin qabne ni baraaraatii.
For he will deliver the needy who cry out and the afflicted who have no helper.
13 Nama dadhabaa fi rakkataaf garaa lafa; nama rakkataas duʼa jalaa baasa.
He will take pity on the poor and needy and save the lives of the oppressed.
14 Lubbuu isaaniis hacuuccaa fi cunqursaa jalaa ni fura; dhiigni isaanii fuula isaa duratti gatii guddaa qabaatii.
He will redeem them from oppression and violence, for their blood is precious in his sight.
15 Umuriin isaa haa dheeratu; warqeen Shebaa isaaf haa kennamu. Yeroo hunda Waaqa isaaf haa kadhatan; guyyaa guutuus isa haa eebbisan.
Long may he live! May gold from Sheba be given him. May people ever pray for him; may they bless him all day long.
16 Lafa irratti midhaan akka malee haa baayʼatu; fiixee tulluuwwanii irras asii fi achi haa raafamu. Iji isaa akka Libaanoon haa tolu; akka marga lafaas haa misu.
May there be an abundance of grain in the land; may it sway atop the hills. May its fruit trees flourish like the forests of Lebanon, and its people like the grass of the field.
17 Maqaan isaa bara baraan haa jiraatu; Akkuma aduus itti fufee haa jiraatu. Saboonni hundinuu isaan ni eebbifamu; jarris eebbifamaa jedhaanii isa waamu.
May his name endure forever; may his name continue as long as the sun shines. In him may all nations be blessed; may they call him blessed.
18 Inni kophaa isaa waan dinqii hojjetu, Waaqayyo Waaqni, Waaqni Israaʼel haa eebbifamu.
Blessed be the LORD God, the God of Israel, who alone does marvelous deeds.
19 Maqaa isaa ulfaataa sanaaf bara baraan galanni haa taʼu; lafti hundinuu ulfina isaatiin haa guutamu.
And blessed be His glorious name forever; may all the earth be filled with His glory. Amen and amen.

Thus conclude the prayers of David son of Jesse.
