Faarfannaa 130

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

A Song of the Ascents. From depths I have called Thee, Jehovah.

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

Lord, hearken to my voice, Thine ears are attentive to the voice of my supplications.

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

If iniquities Thou dost observe, O Lord, who doth stand?

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

But with Thee [is] forgiveness, that Thou mayest be feared.

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

I hoped [for] Jehovah — hoped hath my soul, And for His word I have waited.

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

My soul [is] for the Lord, More than those watching for morning, Watching for morning!

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

Israel doth wait on Jehovah, For with Jehovah [is] kindness, And abundant with Him [is] redemption.

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

And He doth redeem Israel from all his iniquities!
