Faarfannaa 131

1 Faarfannaa ol baʼuu. Faarfannaa Daawit. Yaa Waaqayyo, garaan koo of hin jaju; iji koos of hin tuulu; ani waan guddaa fi waan humna kootii ol taʼe keessa hin seenu.

A Song of Degrees. O Lord, my heart is not exalted, neither have mine eyes been [haughtily] raised: neither have I exercised myself in great [matters], nor in things too wonderful for me.

2 Ani garuu lubbuu koo afaan qabachiiseera; calʼisiiseeras; akkuma daaʼimni harma haadha isaa guusan tokko haadhatti irkatee boqotu sana, akkuma daaʼima harma haadha isaa guusanii lubbuun koo na keessatti calʼiste.

[I shall have sinned] if I have not been humble, but have exulted my soul: according to [the relation of] a weaned child to his mother, so will you recompense my soul.

3 Yaa Israaʼel, ammaa fi bara baraaf, Waaqayyoon abdadhu.

Let Israel hope in the Lord, from henceforth and for ever.
