Faarfannaa 123

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

To thee have I lifted up my eyes, who dwellest in heaven.

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.

Behold as the eyes of the servants are on the hands of their masters, As the eyes of the handmaid are on the hands of her mistress: so are our eyes unto the Lord our God, until he have mercy on us.

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

Have mercy on us, O Lord, have mercy on us: for we are greatly filled with contempt.

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

For our soul is greatly filled: we are a reproach to the rich, and contempt to the proud.
