Faarfannaa 123

1 Faarfannaa ol baʼuu. Yaa isa teessoon kee samii irra jiru, ani ija koo gara keetti ol nan qabadha.

A Song of the going up. To you my eyes are lifted up, even to you whose seat is in the heavens.

2 Akkuma iji garbootaa harka gooftaa isaanii, iji garbittii immoo harka giiftii ishee ilaalu sana, hamma inni araara nuu buusutti, iji keenyas gara Waaqayyo Waaqa keenyaa ni ilaala.

See! as the eyes of servants are turned to the hands of their masters, and the eyes of a servant-girl to her owner, so our eyes are waiting for the Lord our God, till he has mercy on us.

3 Nuu araarami; yaa Waaqayyo, nuu araarami; tuffatamuun nutti baayʼateeraatii.

Have mercy on us, O Lord, have mercy on us: for all men are looking down on us.

4 Arrabni warra of jajaniitii fi tuffiin warra of tuulanii nutti baayʼateera.

For long enough have men of pride made sport of our soul.
