Amharic

Amharic (Amarinnya) je nacionalni jezik Etiopije, i kao takav je vrlo važan prema Rastafariancima.
Izveden iz prastarog Gi'iz (ponekad je slovkan Ge'ez), ono je semitski jezik, također je vezan za druge jezike kao na primjer aebrejski i arapski.
Neke Reggae pjesme uključuju riječi i fraze od Amharic ili Gi'iz.
Ovo su neki primjeri, ključne riječi i izražavanja, s prijevodima.



Amlak = God
Fiqir = Love
Fiqir Bandinet = One Love
Haile Sellassie = means literally 'Power (Haile) of the Trinity (Selassie)'.
Iyesus Kristos = Ethiopian name for Jesus Christ
'Igzee'abihier = Ethiopian name for God, meaning literally, "Lord of the Universe". This is composed of 'Igzee (Lord) 'ab (father) bihier (of the nation). The complete phrase, 'Igzee'abihier Yimmesgen, means "Let God be praised".
Itiopia (pronounced with a long 'ee' sound at the beginning)= Ethiopia
Janhoy = the emperor, or majesty, sometimes affectionately referred to as 'Ababa Janhoy' (Father Majesty).
Kebra Nagast = 'Glory of Kings'
Medhanie 'Alem = "Saviour of the World"
Moa Anbesa Ze'imnegede Yehuda = Conquering Lion of the Tribe of Judah (A motto of the Ethiopian monarchs, and often attached to the Emperor's name).
Nigus = (sometimes transliterated 'Negus', but pronounced 'nih-goose') means 'king', 'emperor'. Hence also the phrases, Negusa Negest ze Itiopia, meaning "Emperor of Ethiopia", and YeNegustit Nigus meaning 'King Of Kings'.
YeIsrael Nigus = King of Israel

Qedamawi = is Ge`ez for 'first', and may also mean 'old' or 'holy'.
Ras Fetari = 'First Creator', or 'Head Creator'

Ras = head Tafari = he who inspires awe'. Mekonnen = 'the angel'.
Satta amassagana = Satta amassagana ahamlack, ulaghize is usually translated as "Give thanks to God continually". Strictly, however, this is not quite accurate Amharic, for the vowels in amassagana are mispronounced. More properly, it should be ames-seggene.
Sehumi Igzeeabhier = Elect of God
Sellassie = Trinity
Tenayistilgn = 'Greetings' or 'Hello', etc.
Tewahido = 'made one'
Yebrehanu Alem = Light of the World

ABYSSINIANS – SATTA MASSAGANA

There is a land far, far away
Where there's no night, there's only day
Look into the book of life and you will see
That there's a land far, far away
That there's a land far, far away.
The King of Kings and the Lord of Lords
Sits upon his throne and He rules us all
Look into the book of life and you will see
That He rules us all
That He rules us all.

There is a land...

Satta Massagana Ahamlack, ulaghize
