Faarfannaa 84

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

Unto the end, for the winepresses, a psalm for the sons of Core. How lovely are thy tabernacles, O Lord of host!

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

My soul longeth and fainteth for the courts of the Lord. My heart and my flesh have rejoiced in 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.

For the sparrow hath found herself a house, and the turtle a nest for herself where she may lay her young ones: Thy altars, O Lord of hosts, my king and my God.

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

Blessed are they that dwell in thy house, O Lord: they shall praise thee for ever and ever.

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

Blessed is the man whose help is from thee: in his heart he hath disposed to ascend by steps,

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

In the vale of tears, in the place which be hath set.

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

For the lawgiver shall give a blessing, they shall go from virtue to virtue: the God of gods shall be seen in Sion.

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.

Behold, O God our protector: and look on the face of thy Christ.

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 thy courts above thousands. I have chosen to be an abject in the house of my God, rather than to dwell in the tabernacles of sinners.

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

For God loveth mercy and truth: the Lord will give grace and glory.

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

He will not deprive of good things them that walk in innocence: O Lord of hosts, blessed is the man that trusteth in thee.
