¹When Israel was a child, then I loved him, and called my son out of Egypt.

¹Markii Israa'iil ilmo yar ahaa waan jeclaan jiray, oo wiilkaygii Israa'iil waxaan uga yeedhay dalka Masar.

²As they called them, so they went from them: they sacrificed unto Baalim, and burned incense to graven images.

²Sidii loogu yeedhay ayay iyagii uga fogaadeen. Waxay allabari u bixiyeen Bacaliim, oo foox bay u shideen sanamyo xardhan.

³I taught Ephraim also to go, taking them by their arms; but they knew not that I healed them.

³Oo weliba reer Efrayim waan socod baray, oo gacmahaygaan ku xambaaray, laakiinse iyagu ma ay ogayn inaan bogsiiyey iyaga.

⁴I drew them with cords of a man, with bands of love: and I was to them as they that take off the yoke on their jaws, and I laid meat unto them.

⁴Waxaan iyaga ku soo jiiday dad xadhkihiis iyo jacayl xidhmihiis, oo waxaan u ahaa sidii kuwa daamankooda harqoodka ka dejiya, oo waxaan hortooda dhigay cunto.

⁵He shall not return into the land of Egypt, and the Assyrian shall be his king, because they refused to return.

⁵Iyagu kuma noqon doonaan dalkii Masar, laakiinse waxaa boqor u noqon doona kii reer Ashuur, maxaa yeelay, iyagu way diideen inay noqdaan.

⁶And the sword shall abide on his cities, and shall consume his branches, and devour them, because of their own counsels.

⁶Oo seef baa waxay ku dhici doontaa magaalooyinkooda, oo waxay baabbi'in doontaa qataarradooda, oo way wada dhammayn doontaa iyaga, waana taladooda daraaddeed.

⁷And my people are bent to backsliding from me: though they called them to the most High, none at all would exalt him.

⁷Dadkaygii waxay ku tashadeen inay dib iga noqdaan. In kastoo iyaga loogu yeedhay Kan ugu sarreeya, innaba midnaba isaga ma sarraysiin doono.

⁸How shall I give thee up, Ephraim? how shall I deliver thee, Israel? how shall I make thee as Admah? how shall I set thee as Zeboim? mine heart is turned within me, my repentings are kindled together.

⁸Reer Efrayimow, sidee baan idiin sii dayn karaa? Dadka Israa'iilow, sidee baan idiin gacangelin karaa? Sidee baan idiinka dhigi karaa sidii Admaah? Oo sidee baan idiinka dhigi karaa sidii Seboyim? Qalbigaygii wuu igu dhex rogmadaa oo naxariis buu la dhaqaaqaa.

⁹I will not execute the fierceness of mine anger, I will not return to destroy Ephraim: for I am God, and not man; the Holy One in the midst of thee: and I will not enter into the city.

⁹Anigu soo dayn maayo kulaylka cadhadayda, oo u soo noqon maayo inaan reer Efrayim baabbi'iyo, waayo, waxaan ahay Ilaah, oo qof aadmi ah ma ihi. Anigu dhexdiinna waxaan ku ahay Kan Quduuska ah, oo magaalada cadho la geli maayo.

¹⁰They shall walk after the LORD: he shall roar like a lion: when he shall roar, then the children shall tremble from the west.

¹⁰Iyagu waxay daba geli doonaan Rabbiga oo sidii libaax buu u ciyi doonaa, Markuu ciyo ilmihiisu xagga galbeed bay ka iman doonaan iyagoo gariiraya.

¹¹They shall tremble as a bird out of Egypt, and as a dove out of the land of Assyria: and I will place them in their houses, saith the LORD.

¹¹Waxay iyagoo gariiraya u iman doonaan sidii shimbir Masar ka soo baxday, iyo sidii qoolley ka soo baxday dalka Ashuur, oo anigu waxaan iyaga ka dhigi doonaa inay guryahooda iska degganaadaan, ayaa Rabbigu leeyahay.Reer Efrayim waxay igu hareereeyaan been oo waxaa dadka Israa'iil igu hareereeyaan khiyaano, laakiinse dadka Yahuudah weli Ilaah bay wax la xukumaan, oo Kan Quduuska ah ayay daacad u yihiin.

¹²Ephraim compasseth me about with lies, and the house of Israel with deceit: but Judah yet ruleth with God, and is faithful with the saints.

¹²Reer Efrayim waxay igu hareereeyaan been oo waxaa dadka Israa'iil igu hareereeyaan khiyaano, laakiinse dadka Yahuudah weli Ilaah bay wax la xukumaan, oo Kan Quduuska ah ayay daacad u yihiin.
