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 leader. On the gittith. Of the Korahites, a psalm. How dearly loved is the place where you live, Lord of hosts!
2 Lubbuun koo oobdiiwwan Waaqayyoo hawwiti; akka malees itti gaggabdi; onneen koo fi foon koo Waaqa jiraataadhaaf ililleedhaan ni faarfatu.
How I long and yearn for the courts of the Lord. Now heart and flesh cry for joy to 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 her a home and the swallow a nest, to lay her young, near your altar, Lord of hosts, my king and my God.
4 Warri mana kee keessa jiraatan eebbifamoo dha; isaan yeroo hundumaa si jajatuutii.
Happy those who live in your house, praising you evermore. (Selah)
5 Warri sirraa jabina argatan, kanneen garaa isaaniitiin karaa kee yaadan eebbifamoo dha.
Happy those whose strength is in you, people with pilgrim hearts.
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 tears, they make it a place of fountains, clothed with the blessings of early rain.
7 Isaan hamma Xiyoon keessatti fuula Waaqaa duratti mulʼatanitti, jabina irraa gara jabinaatti ni darbu.
From rampart to rampart on they march, till at last God reveals himself in Zion.
8 Yaa Waaqayyo, Waaqa Waan Hunda Dandeessu, kadhannaa koo dhagaʼi; yaa Waaqa Yaaqoob na dhaggeeffadhu.
Lord, God of hosts, hear my prayer, attend, O God of Jacob. (Selah)
9 Yaa Waaqayyo, gara gaachana keenyaa ilaali; fuula dibamaa kee sanaas ilaali.
Behold, O God, our defender, and look upon 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 a single day in your courts than a thousand in my own chambers: better stand at the door of the house of my God than live in the tents of ungodliness,
11 Waaqayyo Waaqni aduu fi gaachanaatii; Waaqayyo surraa fi ulfina ni kenna; inni toloota waan gaarii hin dhowwatu.
for the Lord is sun and shield, the Lord gives grace and glory. He withholds no good thing from the life that is blameless.
12 Yaa Waaqayyoo Waan Hunda Dandeessu, namni si amanatu eebbifamaa dha.
Lord of hosts, happy those whose trust is in you.
