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. A psalm of David, when Nathan the prophet come to him after he had been with Bathsheba. In your kindness, O God, be gracious to me, in your own great pity blot out my transgressions.
2 Yakka koo hundumaa narraa dhiqi; cubbuu koo irraas na qulqulleessi.
Wash me clean of my guilt, make me pure of my sin.
3 Ani yakka koo beekaatii; cubbuun koos yeroo hunda fuula koo dura jira.
For well I know my transgressions, 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 you, only you, have I sinned, and done that which is wrong in your sight: you therefore are just when you speak, and clear when you utter judgment.
5 Dhuguma iyyuu ani cubbuudhaanan dhaladhe; yeroo haati koo na ulfooftee jalqabees cubbamaan ture.
See! In guilt was I brought to the birth, and in sin did my mother conceive me.
6 Ati keessa namaatti dhugaa hawwita; kanaafuu keessa kootti ogummaa na barsiisi.
It’s the innermost truth you desire, give me therefore true wisdom of heart.
7 Hiisophiidhaan cubbuu irraa na qulqulleessi; anis nan qulqullaaʼa; na dhiqi; anis cabbii caalaatti nan addaadha.
Purge me clean with hyssop, wash me whiter than snow.
8 Gammachuu fi ilillee na dhageessisi; lafeen ati caccabsites haa ililchu.
Fill me with joy and gladness, let the bones you have broken rejoice.
9 Fuula kee cubbuu koo irraa deebifadhu; yakka koo hundas narraa haqi.
Hide your face from my sins, and blot out my guilt altogether.
10 Yaa Waaqayyo, garaa qulqulluu na keessatti uumi; Hafuura qajeelaas na keessatti haaromsi.
Create me a clean heart, O God, put a new steadfast spirit within me.
11 Fuula kee duraa na hin balleessin; Hafuura kee Qulqulluus narraa hin fudhatin.
Cast me not forth from your presence, withdraw not your holy spirit.
12 Gammachuu fayyina keetii naa deebisi; na jiraachisuudhaafis hafuura sarmu naa kenni.
Give me back the joy of your help, with a willing spirit sustain me.
13 Anis warra karaa kee irraa jalʼatan nan barsiisa; cubbamoonnis gara kee ni deebiʼu.
I will teach your ways to transgressors, and sinners shall turn to you.
14 Yaa Waaqi, Waaqa na Fayyiftu, ati dhiiga dhangalaasuu irraa na oolchi; arrabni koos qajeelummaa kee ni faarfata.
Save me from blood, O God, and my tongue shall ring out your faithfulness.
15 Yaa Gooftaa, hidhii koo naa bani; afaan koos galata kee labsa.
Open my lips, O Lord, and my mouth shall declare your praise.
16 Ati aarsaatti hin gammaddu malee silaa nan dhiʼeessa ture; aarsaa gubamuttis hin gammaddu.
For in sacrifice you have no pleasure, in gifts of burnt-offering no delight.
17 Aarsaan Waaqni fudhatu hafuura cabaa dha; Yaa Waaqi, ati garaa cabaa fi kan gaabbu hin tuffatu.
The sacrifice pleasing to God is a spirit that is broken; a heart that is crushed, O God, you will not despise.
18 Jaalala keetiin Xiyooniif waan gaarii godhi; dallaa Yerusaalem ijaari.
Do good in your pleasure to Zion, build 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 will you welcome the due forms of sacrifice, then on your altars shall bullocks be offered.
