Faarfannaa 84

1 Dura Buʼaa Faarfattootaatiif. Kan Gitiitiidhaan Faarfatamu. Faarfannaa Ilmaan Qooraahi. Yaa Waaqayyoo Waan Hunda Dandeessu, iddoon ati jiraattu akkam namatti tola!

For the choirmaster. According to Gittith. A Psalm of the sons of Korah. How lovely is Your dwelling place, O LORD of Hosts!

2 Lubbuun koo oobdiiwwan Waaqayyoo hawwiti; akka malees itti gaggabdi; onneen koo fi foon koo Waaqa jiraataadhaaf ililleedhaan ni faarfatu.

My soul longs, even faints, for the courts of the LORD; my heart and my flesh cry out for the living God.

3 Yaa Waaqayyoo Waan Hunda Dandeessu, Mootii koo fi Waaqa ko, iddoo aarsaa keetii biratti, dimbiitiin iddoo jireenyaa, girrisnis ofii isheetiif manʼee cuucii ishee keessa kaaʼattu argatti.

Even the sparrow has found a home, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she places her young near Your altars, O LORD of Hosts, my King and my God.

4 Warri mana kee keessa jiraatan eebbifamoo dha; isaan yeroo hundumaa si jajatuutii.

How blessed are those who dwell in Your house! They are ever praising You.

5 Warri sirraa jabina argatan, kanneen garaa isaaniitiin karaa kee yaadan eebbifamoo dha.

Blessed are those whose strength is in You, whose hearts are set on pilgrimage.

6 Isaan yommuu Sulula Baakaa keessa darbanitti, iddoo sana lafa bishaan keessaa burqu godhatu; bokkaan jalqabaas eebba itti dhangalaasa.

As they pass through the Valley of Baca, they make it a place of springs; even the autumn rain covers it with pools.

7 Isaan hamma Xiyoon keessatti fuula Waaqaa duratti mulʼatanitti, jabina irraa gara jabinaatti ni darbu.

They go from strength to strength, until each appears before God in Zion.

8 Yaa Waaqayyo, Waaqa Waan Hunda Dandeessu, kadhannaa koo dhagaʼi; yaa Waaqa Yaaqoob na dhaggeeffadhu.

O LORD God of Hosts, hear my prayer; give ear, O God of Jacob.

9 Yaa Waaqayyo, gara gaachana keenyaa ilaali; fuula dibamaa kee sanaas ilaali.

Take notice of our shield, O God, and look with favor on the face of Your anointed.

10 Guyyaa kuma tokko iddoo biraa jiraachuu irra, guyyaa tokko oobdii keetii irra ooluu wayya; dunkaana hamootaa keessa jiraachuu irra, eegduu balbala mana Waaqa koo taʼuu naa wayya.

For better is one day in Your courts than a thousand elsewhere. I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God than dwell in the tents of the wicked.

11 Waaqayyo Waaqni aduu fi gaachanaatii; Waaqayyo surraa fi ulfina ni kenna; inni toloota waan gaarii hin dhowwatu.

For the LORD God is a sun and a shield; the LORD gives grace and glory; He withholds no good thing from those who walk with integrity.

12 Yaa Waaqayyoo Waan Hunda Dandeessu, namni si amanatu eebbifamaa dha.

O LORD of Hosts, how blessed is the man who trusts in You!
