Faarfannaa 72
1 Faarfannaa Solomoon. Yaa Waaqi, murtii kee mootiidhaaf, qajeelumma kee immoo ilma mootiitiif kenni.
Of Solomon. Give the king, O God, your own spirit of justice your spirit of right to the son of the king,
2 Innis saba keetiif qajeelummaadhaan murteessa; hiyyeeyyiifis murtii qajeelaa kenna.
that with right he may judge your people, and your downtrodden ones with justice.
3 Tulluuwwan badhaadhummaa, gaarran immoo ija qajeelummaa sabaaf haa fidan.
May the mountains bear weal for the people, and the hills yield fruits of justice.
4 Inni hiyyeeyyii saba keessa jiraataniif ni falma; ijoollee rakkattootaa ni oolcha; cunqursituu immoo ni barbadeessa.
The weak may he help to their rights, may he save the sons of the needy and crush the oppressor in pieces.
5 Namoonni hamma aduun jiraattuu fi hamma jiʼi jiraatutti, dhalootaa hamma dhalootaatti si sodaatu.
May he live as long as the sun, while the moon shines – for ages and ages.
6 Inni akkuma bokkaa marga haamame irratti roobuu, akkuma tiifuu lafa jiisuuttis ni dhufa.
May he be like the rain on the meadow, like showers that water the earth.
7 Bara isaa keessa qajeelummaan ni daraara; nageenyis hamma jiʼi dhabamutti ni baayʼata.
In his days may justice flourish, and welfare abound, till the moon be no more.
8 Innis galaanaa hamma galaanaatti, Laga Efraaxiisii hamma moggaa lafaatti ni bulcha.
May he reign from ocean to ocean, from the river to the ends of the earth.
9 Warri gammoojjii keessa jiraatan fuula isaa duratti ni sagadu; diinonni isaas biyyoo arraabu.
May his foes bow down before him, 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 tribute be rendered by kings of the isles and of Tarshish; may gifts be brought by the kings of Sheba and Seba.
11 Mootonni hundinuus isaaf ni sagadu; saboonni hundinuus isa ni tajaajilu.
May all kings fall prostrate before him, and all nations yield him their service.
12 Inni nama rakkatee gara isaatti iyyu, hiyyeessaa fi nama gargaarsa hin qabne ni baraaraatii.
For he saves the poor when he cries, the helpless and the downtrodden.
13 Nama dadhabaa fi rakkataaf garaa lafa; nama rakkataas duʼa jalaa baasa.
He pities the weak and the poor, he saves the lives of the poor.
14 Lubbuu isaaniis hacuuccaa fi cunqursaa jalaa ni fura; dhiigni isaanii fuula isaa duratti gatii guddaa qabaatii.
He redeems them from wrong and from violence, for dear is their blood 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; and may gold of Sheba be given him; prayer, too, be made for him ceaselessly, all the day long may men bless him.
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 the land have abundance of corn, to the tops of the hills may it wave. May the fruit thereof flourish like Lebanon, may men spring from the city like grass of the earth.
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 be blessed forever, may his fame endure as the sun. May all nations envy his blessedness, all tribes of the earth call him happy.
18 Inni kophaa isaa waan dinqii hojjetu, Waaqayyo Waaqni, Waaqni Israaʼel haa eebbifamu.
Blest be the Lord God, Israel’s God, who alone does wonders;
19 Maqaa isaa ulfaataa sanaaf bara baraan galanni haa taʼu; lafti hundinuu ulfina isaatiin haa guutamu.
And blest be forever his glorious name. Let all the earth be filled with his glory. Amen and Amen.
