Faarfannaa 8

1 Dura buʼaa faarfattootaatiif. Faarfannaa Daawit kan Gitiitiidhaan faarfatamu. Yaa Waaqayyo Gooftaa keenya, maqaan kee lafa hundatti akkam ulfina qabeessa! Ati ulfina kee samiiwwan irratti diriirsiteerta.

To the chief Musician. Upon the Gittith. A Psalm of David. Jehovah our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth! who hast set thy majesty above the heavens.

2 Sababii diinota keetiitiif, amajaajii fi nama haaloo baafatu afaan qabachiisuuf jettee, afaan daaʼimmaniitii fi mucoolii harma hodhanii irraa galata qopheessiteerta.

Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou established praise because of thine adversaries, to still the enemy and the avenger.

3 Yommuu ani hojii quba keetii, samiiwwan kee, jiʼaa fi urjiiwwan ati hundeessitee ilaalutti,

When I see thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and stars, which thou hast established;

4 akka ati isaaf yaadduuf namni maali? Akka isaaf dhimmituuf ilmi namaa maali?

What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him?

5 Ati xinnoo ishee ofii keetii gad isa goote; ulfinaa fi kabajaan isa gonfite.

Thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and splendour.

6 Hojii harka keetii irratti bulchaa isa goote; waan hundas miilla isaa jala galchite;

Thou hast made him to rule over the works of thy hands; thou hast put everything under his feet:

7 bushaayee fi loon hunda, bineensota bosonaas,

Sheep and oxen, all of them, and also the beasts of the field;

8 simbirroota samii irraa, qurxummii galaanaa, waan daandii galaanaatiin darbu hundas miilla isaa jala galchite.

The fowl of the heavens, and the fishes of the sea, [whatever] passeth through the paths of the seas.

9 Yaa Waaqayyo Gooftaa keenya, maqaan kee lafa hundumaa irratti akkam ulfina qabeessa!

Jehovah our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth!
