< Faarfannaa 97 >
1 Waaqayyo moʼeera; lafti haa gammaddu; biyyoonni qarqara galaanaa hedduunis haa ililchan.
The Lord reigneth: let the earth be glad; let the multitude of isles rejoice.
2 Duumessaa fi dukkanni limixiin isa marsaniiru; qajeelummaa fi murtii qajeelaan hundee teessoo isaa ti.
Clouds and thick darkness are round about him: righteousness and justice are the support of his throne.
3 Ibiddi fuula isaa dura deemee diinota isaa naannoo isaatii fixa.
A fire goeth before him, and burneth up round about his adversaries.
4 Balaqqeen isaa addunyaa ibsa; laftis argitee hollatti.
His lightnings give light to the world: the earth seeth it, and trembleth.
5 Tulluuwwan fuula Waaqayyoo duratti, fuula Gooftaa lafa hundumaa durattis akkuma gagaa baqu.
The mountains melt away like wax at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the Lord of all the earth.
6 Samiiwwan qajeelummaa isaa labsu; saboonni hundinuus ulfina isaa argu.
The heavens tell of his righteousness, and all the people his glory.
7 Warri fakkii waaqeffatan, kanneen waaqota tolfamoon of jajan hundi haa qaaneffaman; isin waaqonni hundinuus isa waaqeffadhaa!
Made ashamed shall be all that serve graven images, that boast themselves of idols: unto him bow down all the gods.
8 Yaa Waaqayyo, sababii murtii keetiitiif, Xiyoon dhageessee ililchiti; gandoonni Yihuudaas ni gammadu.
Zion heareth it, and rejoiceth; and glad are the daughters of Judah, because of thy decrees, O Lord.
9 Yaa Waaqayyo, ati lafa hundumaa irratti Waaqa Waan Hundaa Olii ti; ati waaqota hundumaa irra akka malee ol ol jetteerta.
For thou, O Lord, art the most high above all the earth: thou art greatly exalted above all gods.
10 Sababii inni lubbuu amanamoota isaa eegee, harka hamootaa jalaa isaan baasuuf, warri Waaqayyoon jaallatan hammina haa jibban.
Ye that love the Lord, hate ye the evil: he preserveth the souls of his pious ones; out of the hand of the wicked he ever delivereth them.
11 Qajeeltota irratti ifni ni ifa; gara tolootaafis gammachuun ni dhufa.
Light is sown for the righteous, and joy for the upright in heart.
12 Isin qajeeltonni Waaqayyotti gammadaa; maqaa isaa qulqulluus galateeffadhaa.
Rejoice, ye righteous, in the Lord, and give thanks to his holy memorial.
