Faarfannaa 51
1 Dura buʼaa faarfattootaatiif. Faarfannaa Daawit. Faarfannaa kanas inni erga Batisheebaa bira gaʼee booddee yeroo Naataan raajichi gara isaa dhufetti faarfate. Yaa Waaqayyo, akkuma jaalala kee kan hin geeddaramne sanaatti na maari; akkuma baayʼina araara keetiitti, yakka koo narraa haqi.
For the end, a Psalm of David, when Nathan the prophet came to him, when he had gone to Bersabee. Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy great mercy; and according to the multitude of thy compassions blot out my transgression.
2 Yakka koo hundumaa narraa dhiqi; cubbuu koo irraas na qulqulleessi.
Wash me thoroughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.
3 Ani yakka koo beekaatii; cubbuun koos yeroo hunda fuula koo dura jira.
For I am conscious of mine iniquity; and my sin is continually before me.
4 Ani sitti, suma qofatti cubbuu hojjedheera; waan fuula kee duratti hamaa taʼes hojjedheera; kanaafuu ati murtii keetiin qajeelaa dha; yommuu murtii kennituttis hin dogoggortu.
Against thee only have I sinned, and done evil before thee: that thou mightest be justified in thy sayings, and mightest overcome when thou art judged.
5 Dhuguma iyyuu ani cubbuudhaanan dhaladhe; yeroo haati koo na ulfooftee jalqabees cubbamaan ture.
For, behold, I was conceived in iniquities, and in sins did my mother conceive me.
6 Ati keessa namaatti dhugaa hawwita; kanaafuu keessa kootti ogummaa na barsiisi.
For, behold, thou lovest truth: thou hast manifested to me the secret and hidden things of thy wisdom.
7 Hiisophiidhaan cubbuu irraa na qulqulleessi; anis nan qulqullaaʼa; na dhiqi; anis cabbii caalaatti nan addaadha.
Thou shalt sprinkle me with hyssop, and I shall be purified: thou shalt wash me, and I shall be made whiter than snow.
8 Gammachuu fi ilillee na dhageessisi; lafeen ati caccabsites haa ililchu.
Thou shalt cause me to hear gladness and joy: the afflicted bones shall rejoice.
9 Fuula kee cubbuu koo irraa deebifadhu; yakka koo hundas narraa haqi.
Turn away thy face from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities.
10 Yaa Waaqayyo, garaa qulqulluu na keessatti uumi; Hafuura qajeelaas na keessatti haaromsi.
Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit in my inward parts.
11 Fuula kee duraa na hin balleessin; Hafuura kee Qulqulluus narraa hin fudhatin.
Cast me not away from thy presence; and remove not thy holy Spirit from me.
12 Gammachuu fayyina keetii naa deebisi; na jiraachisuudhaafis hafuura sarmu naa kenni.
Restore to me the joy of thy salvation: establish me with thy directing Spirit.
13 Anis warra karaa kee irraa jalʼatan nan barsiisa; cubbamoonnis gara kee ni deebiʼu.
[Then] will I teach transgressors thy ways; and ungodly men shall turn to thee.
14 Yaa Waaqi, Waaqa na Fayyiftu, ati dhiiga dhangalaasuu irraa na oolchi; arrabni koos qajeelummaa kee ni faarfata.
Deliver me from blood-guiltiness, O God, the God of my salvation: [and] my tongue shall joyfully declare thy righteousness.
15 Yaa Gooftaa, hidhii koo naa bani; afaan koos galata kee labsa.
O Lord, thou shalt open my lips; and my mouth shall declare thy praise.
16 Ati aarsaatti hin gammaddu malee silaa nan dhiʼeessa ture; aarsaa gubamuttis hin gammaddu.
For if thou desiredst sacrifice, I would have given [it]: thou wilt not take pleasure in whole-burnt-offerings.
17 Aarsaan Waaqni fudhatu hafuura cabaa dha; Yaa Waaqi, ati garaa cabaa fi kan gaabbu hin tuffatu.
Sacrifice to God is a broken spirit: a broken and humbled heart God will not despise.
18 Jaalala keetiin Xiyooniif waan gaarii godhi; dallaa Yerusaalem ijaari.
Do good, O Lord, to Sion in thy good pleasure; and let the walls of Jerusalem be built.
19 Yoos ati aarsaa qajeelaatti, qalma gubamuu fi qalma akkuma jirutti gubamutti ni gammadda; korommiinis iddoo aarsaa kee irratti ni dhiʼeeffaman.
Then shalt thou be pleased with a sacrifice of righteousness, offering, and whole-burnt-sacrifices: then shall they offer calves upon thine altar.
