1 Sababii Waaqayyo akka ani

hiyyeeyyiitti oduu gaarii lallabuuf na dibeef,

Hafuurri Waaqayyo Gooftaa narra jira.

Inni akka ani garaa cabe fayyisuuf,

akka ani boojiʼamtootaaf bilisummaa,

warra hidhamaniif immoo hiikamuu lallabuuf na ergeera;

2 akka ani bara tola Waaqayyootii fi

guyyaa haaloo baʼuu Waaqa keenyaa labsuuf,

akka ani warra booʼan hunda jajjabeessuuf,

3 akka ani warra Xiyoon keessatti gaddaniif arjoomee,

qooda daaraa miidhagina,

qooda booʼichaa, zayitii gammachuu,

qooda abdii kutachuu immoo,

wayyaa galataa kennuuf na erge.

Isaanis qilxuu qajeelummaa, biqiltuu Waaqayyo,

kan inni ittiin kabajamu jedhamanii waamaman.
