Faarfannaa 1

1 Namni gorsa hamootaatiin hin deddeebine, yookaan karaa cubbamootaa irra hin dhaabanne, yookaan barcuma qoostotaa irra hin teenye, eebbifamaa dha.

Blessed is the man who does not walk in the advice of the wicked, or stand in the pathway with sinners, or sit in the assembly of mockers.

2 Garuu inni seera Waaqayyootti gammada; seera isaas halkanii guyyaa irra deddeebiʼee itti yaada.

But his delight is in the law of Yahweh, and on his law he meditates day and night.

3 Inni akkuma muka qarqara bishaan yaaʼuu dhaabamee yeroo isaatti ija isaa kennu, kan baalli isaas hin coollagnee ti; wanni inni hojjetu hundinuus ni tolaaf.

He will be like a tree planted by the streams of water that produces its fruit in its season, whose leaves do not wither; whatever he does will prosper.

4 Hamoonni garuu akkana miti; isaan akka habaqii qilleensi fudhatee balleessuu ti.

The wicked are not so, but are instead like the chaff that the wind drives away.

5 Kanaafuu hamoonni murtii dura, yookaan cubbamoonni waldaa qajeeltotaa keessa hin dhaabatan.

So the wicked will not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous.

6 Waaqayyo karaa qajeeltotaa ni beekaatii; karaan hamootaa garuu gara badiitti geessa.

For Yahweh approves of the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked will perish.
