Faarfannaa 123

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

`The song of grecis. To thee Y haue reisid myn iyen; that dwellist in heuenes.

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.

Lo! as the iyen of seruauntis; ben in the hondis of her lordis. As the iyen of the handmaide ben in the hondis of her ladi; so oure iyen ben to oure Lord God, til he haue mercy on vs.

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

Lord, haue thou merci on vs, haue thou merci on vs; for we ben myche fillid with dispisyng.

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

For oure soule is myche fillid; we ben schenschipe to hem that ben abundaunte with richessis, and dispising to proude men.
