Faarfannaa 87

1 Faarfannaa Ilmaan Qooraahi. Hundeen magaalaa isaa tulluu qulqulluu irra jira.

[A Psalm by the sons of Korah; a Song.] His foundation is in the holy mountains.

2 Waaqayyo iddoo jireenya Yaaqoob hunda caalaa, karrawwan Xiyoon jaallata.

The LORD loves the gates of Zion more than all the dwellings of Jacob.

3 Yaa magaalaa Waaqaa, waaʼee keetiif wanni kabajamaan akkana jedhamee ni dubbatama:

Glorious things are spoken about you, city of God. (Selah)

4 “Ani Raʼaabii fi Baabilonin warra na beekan gidduutti maqaa nan dhaʼa; kunoo, Filisxeemii fi Xiiroos Itoophiyaa wajjin, ‘Namichi kun achitti dhalate’ jedhu.”

I will record Rahab and Babylon among those who acknowledge me. Look, Philistia, Tyre, and also Ethiopia: "This one was born there."

5 Dhugumaan waaʼee Xiyoon, “Inni kunii fi inni sun ishee keessatti dhalatan; Waaqni Waan Hunda Olii mataan isaa iyyuu ishee dhaaba” jedhama.

Yes, of Zion it will be said, "This one and that one was born in her;" the Most High himself will establish her.

6 Waaqayyo yeroo saboota galmeessutti, “Namichi kun achitti dhalate” jedhee barreessa.

The LORD will count, when he writes up the peoples, "This one was born there." (Selah)

7 Warri faarfatanii fi warri meeshaa muuziiqaa taphatan, “Burqaan koo hundi si keessatti argama” jedhu.

And those who sing as well as the pipers: "My whole source of joy is in you."
