Faarfannaa 130

1 Faarfannaa ol baʼuu. Yaa Waaqayyo, ani boolla gad fagoo keessaa sitti nan iyyadha;

Out of the depths I have cried to you, Adonai.

2 yaa Gooftaa, sagalee koo dhagaʼi. Gurri kees sagalee waammata koo xiyyeeffatee haa dhagaʼu.

Lord, sh'ma ·hear obey· my voice. Let your ears be attentive to the voice of my petitions.

3 Yaa Waaqayyo, utuu ati cubbuu lakkooftee, yaa gooftaa silaa eenyutu dhaabachuu dandaʼa?

If you, Yah, kept a record of depravities (moral evils), Lord, who could stand?

4 Garuu dhiifamni si bira jira; kanaaf ati ni sodaatamta.

But there is forgiveness with you, therefore you are feared.

5 Ani Waaqayyoon nan eeggadha; lubbuun koos isa eeggatti; dubbii isaas nan abdadha.

I wait for Adonai. My soul waits. I hope in his word.

6 Eegdota barii lafaa eeggatan caalaa, dhugumaan eegdota barii lafaa eeggatan caalaa lubbuun koo Gooftaa eeggatti.

My soul longs for 'Adonay [Lord] more than watchmen long for the morning; more than watchmen for the morning.

7 Yaa Israaʼel, ati Waaqayyoon abdadhu; Waaqayyo bira jaalalli dhuma hin qabne, furiin guutuunis ni jiraatii.

Israel [God prevails], hope in Adonai, for with Adonai there is chesed ·loving-kindness·. With him is abundant redemption.

8 Inni mataan isaa cubbuu isaanii hundumaa irraa Israaʼelin ni fura.

He will redeem Israel [God prevails] from all their depravities (moral evils).
