< 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 chief musician; set to the Gittith style. A psalm of the sons of Korah. How lovely is the place where you live, Yahweh of hosts!
2 Lubbuun koo oobdiiwwan Waaqayyoo hawwiti; akka malees itti gaggabdi; onneen koo fi foon koo Waaqa jiraataadhaaf ililleedhaan ni faarfatu.
I long for the courts of Yahweh, my desire for it has made me exhausted. My heart and all of my being call out 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 house and the swallow a nest for herself where she may lay her young near your altars, Yahweh of hosts, my King, and my God.
4 Warri mana kee keessa jiraatan eebbifamoo dha; isaan yeroo hundumaa si jajatuutii.
Blessed are they who live in your house; they praise you continually. (Selah)
5 Warri sirraa jabina argatan, kanneen garaa isaaniitiin karaa kee yaadan eebbifamoo dha.
Blessed is the man whose strength is in you, in whose heart are the highways up to Zion.
6 Isaan yommuu Sulula Baakaa keessa darbanitti, iddoo sana lafa bishaan keessaa burqu godhatu; bokkaan jalqabaas eebba itti dhangalaasa.
Passing through the Valley of Tears, they find springs of water to drink. The early rains cover it with blessings.
7 Isaan hamma Xiyoon keessatti fuula Waaqaa duratti mulʼatanitti, jabina irraa gara jabinaatti ni darbu.
They go from strength to strength; every one of them appears before God in Zion.
8 Yaa Waaqayyo, Waaqa Waan Hunda Dandeessu, kadhannaa koo dhagaʼi; yaa Waaqa Yaaqoob na dhaggeeffadhu.
Yahweh God of hosts, hear my prayer; God of Jacob, listen to what I am saying! (Selah)
9 Yaa Waaqayyo, gara gaachana keenyaa ilaali; fuula dibamaa kee sanaas ilaali.
God, watch over our shield; show concern for 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 one day in your courts is better than a thousand elsewhere. I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God, than to live within the tents of the wicked.
11 Waaqayyo Waaqni aduu fi gaachanaatii; Waaqayyo surraa fi ulfina ni kenna; inni toloota waan gaarii hin dhowwatu.
For Yahweh God is our sun and shield; Yahweh will give grace and glory; he does not withhold any good thing from those who walk in integrity.
12 Yaa Waaqayyoo Waan Hunda Dandeessu, namni si amanatu eebbifamaa dha.
Yahweh of hosts, blessed is the man who trusts in you.
