¹Moreover the word of the LORD came to me, saying,

¹Oo haddana eraygii Rabbigu waa ii yimid, isagoo leh,

²Go and cry in the ears of Jerusalem, saying, Thus saith the LORD; I remember thee, the kindness of thy youth, the love of thine espousals, when thou wentest after me in the wilderness, in a land that was not sown.

²Tag oo Yeruusaalem dhegaha kaga qayli, oo waxaad ku tidhaahdaa, Rabbigu wuxuu leeyahay, Waxaan xusuusnahay roonaantii yaraantaada iyo jacaylkii doonanaantaada, markaad igu raaci jirtay cidladii ahayd dal aan waxba lagu beerin.

³Israel was holiness unto the LORD, and the firstfruits of his increase: all that devour him shall offend; evil shall come upon them, saith the LORD.

³Reer binu Israa'iil wuxuu Rabbiga u ahaa quduus, iyo midhihii ugu horreeyey ee beergooyskiisii, oo kuwii isaga cunay oo dhammu eed bay lahaayeen, oo masiibo baa iyaga ku soo degtay, ayaa Rabbigu leeyahay.

⁴Hear ye the word of the LORD, O house of Jacob, and all the families of the house of Israel:

⁴Reer Yacquub iyo qolooyinka reer binu Israa'iil oo dhammow, bal maqla erayga Rabbiga:

⁵Thus saith the LORD, What iniquity have your fathers found in me, that they are gone far from me, and have walked after vanity, and are become vain?

⁵Rabbigu wuxuu leeyahay, Awowayaashiin maxaa xaqdarro ah oo ay iga heleen oo ay iiga fogaadeen, oo ay waxyaalaha aan waxtarka lahayn u raaceen, oo ay waxmatarayaal u noqdeen?

⁶Neither said they, Where is the LORD that brought us up out of the land of Egypt, that led us through the wilderness, through a land of deserts and of pits, through a land of drought, and of the shadow of death, through a land that no man passed through, and where no man dwelt?

⁶Oo iyagu innaba ma ay odhan, Meeh Rabbigii dalka Masar naga soo bixiyey, oo nagu soo hor kacay cidlada dhexdeeda, taasoo ahayd dal lamadegaan ah oo godad badan, iyo dal abaar iyo hooska dhimashada ah, iyo dal aan ciduna dhex marin, iyo meel aan la degin?

⁷And I brought you into a plentiful country, to eat the fruit thereof and the goodness thereof; but when ye entered, ye defiled my land, and made mine heritage an abomination.

⁷Oo waxaan idin keenay waddan barwaaqo badan, inaad midhihiisa iyo wanaaggiisa cuntaan, laakiinse markaad soo gasheen ayaad dalkaygii nijaasayseen, oo dhaxalkaygiina waxaad ka dhigteen wax karaahiyo ah.

⁸The priests said not, Where is the LORD? and they that handle the law knew me not: the pastors also transgressed against me, and the prophets prophesied by Baal, and walked after things that do not profit.

⁸Wadaaddadii ma ay odhan, Rabbigii meeh? Oo kuwa sharciga hayaana ima ay aqoon, oo taliyayaashiina way igu xadgudbeen, oo nebiyadiina waxay wax ku sii sheegeen Bacal, oo waxay iska daba galeen waxyaalo aan innaba faa'iido lahayn.

⁹Wherefore I will yet plead with you, saith the LORD, and with your children's children will I plead.

⁹Oo sidaas daraaddeed weli waan idinla muddacayaa, oo carruurtiinna carruurtoodana waan la muddici doonaa.

¹⁰For pass over the isles of Chittim, and see; and send unto Kedar, and consider diligently, and see if there be such a thing.

¹⁰Waayo, bal u gudba xagga gasiiradda Kitiim, oo bal wax eega, oo xagga Qedaarna cid u dira, oo aad u fiirsada, oo bal eega hadday waxaas oo kale halkaas jiraan.

¹¹Hath a nation changed their gods, which are yet no gods? but my people have changed their glory for that which doth not profit.

¹¹Miyey jirtaa quruun beddeshay ilaahyadeed aan ilaahyo ahayn? Laakiinse dadkaygu waxay ammaantoodii ku beddeleen wax aan waxtar lahayn.

¹²Be astonished, O ye heavens, at this, and be horribly afraid, be ye very desolate, saith the LORD.

¹²Rabbigu wuxuu leeyahay, Samooyinkow, bal waxan la yaaba, oo aad iyo aad u cabsada, oo haddana aad u gariira.

¹³For my people have committed two evils; they have forsaken me the fountain of living waters, and hewed them out cisterns, broken cisterns, that can hold no water.

¹³Waayo, dadkaygii laba waxyaalood oo shar ah ayay sameeyeen, way iga tageen anigoo ah isha biyaha nool, oo waxay qoteen berkedo daldaloola oo aan innaba biyo celin karin.

¹⁴Is Israel a servant? is he a homeborn slave? why is he spoiled?

¹⁴Dalka Israa'iil ma addoon baa, mase waa bidde guriga ku dhashay? Maxaa isaga loo kala boobay?

¹⁵The young lions roared upon him, and yelled, and they made his land waste: his cities are burned without inhabitant.

¹⁵Libaaxyo qayrabyo ah ayaa ku ciyey, oo codkoodiina way dheereeyeen, oo dalkiisiina way baabbi'iyeen, oo magaalooyinkiisiina way gubteen oo ciduna ma deggana.

¹⁶Also the children of Noph and Tahapanes have broken the crown of thy head.

¹⁶Oo waxaa dhalada kaa jebiyey reer Nof iyo reer Taxfanees.

¹⁷Hast thou not procured this unto thyself, in that thou hast forsaken the LORD thy God, when he led thee by the way?

¹⁷Sow adiga qudhaadu isuma aad keenin belaayadan, waayo, waxaad ka tagtay Rabbiga Ilaahaaga ah markuu jidka kugu hagayay?

¹⁸And now what hast thou to do in the way of Egypt, to drink the waters of Sihor? or what hast thou to do in the way of Assyria, to drink the waters of the river?

¹⁸Oo haatan bal maxaad ka samaynaysaa jidka Masar inaad cabto biyaha Shiixoor? Amase bal maxaad ka samaynaysaa jidka Ashuur inaad cabto biyaha Webi Yufraad?

¹⁹Thine own wickedness shall correct thee, and thy backslidings shall reprove thee: know therefore and see that it is an evil thing and bitter, that thou hast forsaken the LORD thy God, and that my fear is not in thee, saith the Lord GOD of hosts.

¹⁹Haddaba xumaantaada ayaa ku edbin doonta, oo dibunoqoshadaada ayaa ku canaanan doonta. Sayidka ah Rabbiga ciidammadu wuxuu leeyahay, Haddaba bal ogow oo arag inay tahay wax shar ah oo qadhaadh inaad iga tagtay anigoo Rabbiga Ilaahaaga ah, iyo inaadan iga cabsan.

²⁰For of old time I have broken thy yoke, and burst thy bands; and thou saidst, I will not transgress; when upon every high hill and under every green tree thou wanderest, playing the harlot.

²⁰Waayo, waa hore ayaad harqoodkaagii jebisay, oo waxaad kala gooysay silsiladihii kugu xidhnaa, oo waxaad tidhi, Anigu kuu adeegi maayo, oo buur kasta oo dheer korkeed iyo geed kasta oo doog ah hoostiis ayaad ku jiifsatay sida dhillo oo kale.

²¹Yet I had planted thee a noble vine, wholly a right seed: how then art thou turned into the degenerate plant of a strange vine unto me?

²¹Laakiin waxaan kuu beeray canab wacan, oo kulligiis abuur wanaagsan ah, haddaba sidee baad ugu beddelantay inaad igu noqotid canab ba'ay oo qalaad?

²²For though thou wash thee with nitre, and take thee much soap, yet thine iniquity is marked before me, saith the Lord GOD.

²²Waayo, Sayidka Rabbiga ahu wuxuu leeyahay, In kastoo aad soodhe isku maydhid, oo aad saabuun iska badisid, weli xumaantaadii sida calaamad oo kale bay ii muuqataa.

²³How canst thou say, I am not polluted, I have not gone after Baalim? see thy way in the valley, know what thou hast done: thou art a swift dromedary traversing her ways;

²³Sidee baad u odhan kartaa, Anigu ma nijaasoobin, oo Bacaliimna ma raacin? Bal fiiri socodkii aad dooxada ku martay, oo garo wixii aad samaysay. Waxaad tahay qaalin geel oo dheeraysa oo warwareegta,

²⁴A wild ass used to the wilderness, that snuffeth up the wind at her pleasure; in her occasion who can turn her away? all they that seek her will not weary themselves; in her month they shall find her.

²⁴iyo dameerdibadeed cidlada baratay, oo iyadoo orgoonaysa dabaysha ursanaysa. Yaa damaceeda ka celin kara? Oo kuwa iyada doonaya oo dhammuna isma ay daalin doonaan, waayo, iyaday bisheeda heli doonaan.

²⁵Withhold thy foot from being unshod, and thy throat from thirst: but thou saidst, There is no hope: no; for I have loved strangers, and after them will I go.

²⁵Cagahaaga kabola'aan ka dhawr, oo hungurigaagana harraad ka dhawr, laakiinse waxaad tidhi, Rajo ma leh innaba, waayo, waxaan jeclaaday shisheeyayaal, oo iyagaan iska daba gelayaa.

²⁶As the thief is ashamed when he is found, so is the house of Israel ashamed; they, their kings, their princes, and their priests, and their prophets.

²⁶Siduu tuug markii la qabto u ceeboobo oo kale ayay reer binu Israa'iil u ceeboobeen, iyaga, iyo boqorradooda, iyo amiirradooda, iyo wadaaddadooda, iyo nebiyadooduba,

²⁷Saying to a stock, Thou art my father; and to a stone, Thou hast brought me forth: for they have turned their back unto me, and not their face: but in the time of their trouble they will say, Arise, and save us.

²⁷kuwaasoo geed ku yidhaahda, Waxaad tahay aabbahay, oo dhagaxna ku yidhaahda, Adigaa i dhalay. Dhabarkay ii soo jeediyeen, wejigiina way iga sii jeediyeen, laakiinse wakhtigii ay dhibaataysan yihiin waxay i odhan doonaan, Kac oo na badbaadi.

²⁸But where are thy gods that thou hast made thee? let them arise, if they can save thee in the time of thy trouble: for according to the number of thy cities are thy gods, O Judah.

²⁸Laakiinse meeye ilaahyadaadii aad samaysatay? Iyagu ha keceen hadday ku badbaadin karaan wakhtigii aad dhibaataysan tahay, waayo, dadka Yahuudah ahow, ilaahyadiinnu waxay tiro le'eg yihiin magaalooyinkiinna.

²⁹Wherefore will ye plead with me? ye all have transgressed against me, saith the LORD.

²⁹Sidaas daraaddeed Rabbigu wuxuu leeyahay, Bal maxaad iila muddacaysaan? Waayo, idinku kulligiin waad iga gudubteen.

³⁰In vain have I smitten your children; they received no correction: your own sword hath devoured your prophets, like a destroying lion.

³⁰Anigu waxtarla'aan baan carruurtiinnii u dilay, iyaguse innaba kuma ay waano qaadan. Seeftiinnii ayaa nebiyadiinnii baabbi'isay sidii libaax wax baabbi'inaya oo kale.

³¹O generation, see ye the word of the LORD. Have I been a wilderness unto Israel? a land of darkness? wherefore say my people, We are lords; we will come no more unto thee?

³¹Dadka qarniganow, bal erayga Rabbiga ka fiirsada. Reer binu Israa'iil ma waxaan u ahaa cidlo ama dal gudcur ah? Haddaba bal maxaa dadkaygu u yidhaahdaan, Xor baannu nahay, oo mar dambe kuu iman mayno?

³²Can a maid forget her ornaments, or a bride her attire? yet my people have forgotten me days without number.

³²Gabadhu miyey illoobi kartaa wixii ay isku sharaxdo, aroosadduse miyey illoobi kartaa wixii ay xidhato? Laakiinse dadkaygu waxay i illoobeen maalmo badan oo aan la tirin karin.

³³Why trimmest thou thy way to seek love? therefore hast thou also taught the wicked ones thy ways.

³³Sidee baad jidkaaga u hagaajisaa markaad caashaq doondoonto? Sidaas daraaddeed xataa naagaha xunxunna jidadkaagaad bartay.

³⁴Also in thy skirts is found the blood of the souls of the poor innocents: I have not found it by secret search, but upon all these.

³⁴Oo weliba darfaha dharkaagana waxaa laga helaa dhiiggii masaakiinta aan xaqa qabin, sababtuna ma aha inaad heshay iyagoo guriga dhacaya, laakiinse waa waxyaalahaas oo dhan daraaddood.

³⁵Yet thou sayest, Because I am innocent, surely his anger shall turn from me. Behold, I will plead with thee, because thou sayest, I have not sinned.

³⁵Oo weliba waxaad istidhaahdaa, Anigu xaq ma qabo. Sida xaqiiqada ah cadhadiisu way iga noqotay. Bal ogow, anigu waan kula muddici doonaaye, maxaa yeelay, waxaad tidhaahdaa, Anigu ma aan dembaabin.

³⁶Why gaddest thou about so much to change thy way? thou also shalt be ashamed of Egypt, as thou wast ashamed of Assyria.

³⁶Maxaad u warwareegtaa si aad jidadkaaga u beddesho? Ceeb baa dalka Masar kaaga iman doonta siday dalka Ashuur kaaga timid oo kale.Oo weliba isagana waad ka soo bixi doontaa, adigoo gacmahu madaxa kuu saaran yihiin, waayo, Rabbigu waa diiday kuwa aad ku kalsoon tahay oo dhan, oo iyaga innaba ku dhex liibaani maysid.

³⁷Yea, thou shalt go forth from him, and thine hands upon thine head: for the LORD hath rejected thy confidences, and thou shalt not prosper in them.

³⁷Oo weliba isagana waad ka soo bixi doontaa, adigoo gacmahu madaxa kuu saaran yihiin, waayo, Rabbigu waa diiday kuwa aad ku kalsoon tahay oo dhan, oo iyaga innaba ku dhex liibaani maysid.
