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 leader of the music. A psalm of David, when Nathan the prophet came unto him, after his intercourse with Bathsheba.” Be gracious unto me, O God! according to thy loving kindness; According to the greatness of thy mercy, blot out my transgressions!
2 Yakka koo hundumaa narraa dhiqi; cubbuu koo irraas na qulqulleessi.
Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity, And cleanse me from my sin!
3 Ani yakka koo beekaatii; cubbuun koos yeroo hunda fuula koo dura jira.
For I acknowledge my transgressions, And my sin is ever 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, thee only, have I sinned, And in thy sight have I done evil; So that thou art just in thy sentence, And righteous in thy judgment.
5 Dhuguma iyyuu ani cubbuudhaanan dhaladhe; yeroo haati koo na ulfooftee jalqabees cubbamaan ture.
Behold! I was born in iniquity, And in sin did my mother conceive me.
6 Ati keessa namaatti dhugaa hawwita; kanaafuu keessa kootti ogummaa na barsiisi.
Behold! thou desirest truth in the heart; So teach me wisdom in my inmost soul!
7 Hiisophiidhaan cubbuu irraa na qulqulleessi; anis nan qulqullaaʼa; na dhiqi; anis cabbii caalaatti nan addaadha.
Purge me with hyssop, until I be clean; Wash me, until I be whiter than snow!
8 Gammachuu fi ilillee na dhageessisi; lafeen ati caccabsites haa ililchu.
Make me to hear joy and gladness, So that the bones which thou hast broken may rejoice!
9 Fuula kee cubbuu koo irraa deebifadhu; yakka koo hundas narraa haqi.
Hide thy face from my sins, And blot out all my iniquities!
10 Yaa Waaqayyo, garaa qulqulluu na keessatti uumi; Hafuura qajeelaas na keessatti haaromsi.
Create within me a clean heart, O God! Renew within me a steadfast spirit!
11 Fuula kee duraa na hin balleessin; Hafuura kee Qulqulluus narraa hin fudhatin.
Cast me not away from thy presence, And take 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 protection, And strengthen me with a willing spirit!
13 Anis warra karaa kee irraa jalʼatan nan barsiisa; cubbamoonnis gara kee ni deebiʼu.
Then will I teach thy ways to transgressors, And sinners shall be converted to thee.
14 Yaa Waaqi, Waaqa na Fayyiftu, ati dhiiga dhangalaasuu irraa na oolchi; arrabni koos qajeelummaa kee ni faarfata.
Deliver me from the guilt of blood, O God, the God of my salvation! That my tongue may sing aloud of thy goodness!
15 Yaa Gooftaa, hidhii koo naa bani; afaan koos galata kee labsa.
O Lord! open thou my lips, That my mouth may show forth thy praise!
16 Ati aarsaatti hin gammaddu malee silaa nan dhiʼeessa ture; aarsaa gubamuttis hin gammaddu.
For thou desirest not sacrifice, else would I give it; Thou delightest not in burnt-offerings.
17 Aarsaan Waaqni fudhatu hafuura cabaa dha; Yaa Waaqi, ati garaa cabaa fi kan gaabbu hin tuffatu.
The sacrifice which God loveth is a broken spirit; A broken and contrite heart, O God! thou wilt not despise!
18 Jaalala keetiin Xiyooniif waan gaarii godhi; dallaa Yerusaalem ijaari.
Do good to Zion according to thy mercy; Build up the walls of Jerusalem!
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 sacrifices of righteousness, With burnt-offerings and complete offerings; Then shall bullocks be offered upon thine altar.
