¹If thou wilt return, O Israel, saith the LORD, return unto me: and if thou wilt put away thine abominations out of my sight, then shalt thou not remove.

¹Rabbigu wuxuu leeyahay, Dadka Israa'iilow, haddaad soo noqotaan, waa inaad xaggayga u soo noqotaan, oo haddaad karaahiyadiinna hortayda ka fogaysaanna innaba laydin dhaqdhaqaajin maayo.

²And thou shalt swear, The LORD liveth, in truth, in judgment, and in righteousness; and the nations shall bless themselves in him, and in him shall they glory.

²Oo haddaad si run iyo caddaalad iyo xaqnimo ah ugu dhaarataan, Rabbigu waa nool yahay, de markaas quruumuhu isagay ku ducaysan doonaan, oo isagay ku faani doonaan.

³For thus saith the LORD to the men of Judah and Jerusalem, Break up your fallow ground, and sow not among thorns.

³Rabbigu wuxuu dadka dalka Yahuudah iyo reer Yeruusaalem ku leeyahay, Dhulkiinna jeexan jabsada, oo qodxan dhexdood waxba ha ku beeranina.

⁴Circumcise yourselves to the LORD, and take away the foreskins of your heart, ye men of Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem: lest my fury come forth like fire, and burn that none can quench it, because of the evil of your doings.

⁴Raggiinna dalka Yahuudah iyo kuwa Yeruusaalem degganow, Rabbiga isu guda, oo iska gooya buuryada qalbigiinna, si ayan cadhadaydu u soo bixin sida dab oo kale, oo ayan u hurin si aan innaba loo demin karin sharka falimihiinna aawadiis.

⁵Declare ye in Judah, and publish in Jerusalem; and say, Blow ye the trumpet in the land: cry, gather together, and say, Assemble yourselves, and let us go into the defenced cities.

⁵Dalka Yahuudah ka dhex sheega, oo Yeruusaalem ka dhex naadiya, oo waxaad tidhaahdaan, War dalka dhexdiisa buunka ku dhufta, oo aad u qayliya, oo waxaad tidhaahdaan, Isa soo urursada, oo ina keena aynu magaalooyinka deyrka leh galnee.

⁶Set up the standard toward Zion: retire, stay not: for I will bring evil from the north, and a great destruction.

⁶Calan u taaga xagga Siyoon, carara oo ha joogsanina, waayo, anigu waxaan xagga woqooyi ka keeni doonaa masiibo iyo halligaad weyn.

⁷The lion is come up from his thicket, and the destroyer of the Gentiles is on his way; he is gone forth from his place to make thy land desolate; and thy cities shall be laid waste, without an inhabitant.

⁷Libaax baa ka soo baxay jiqdiisa, quruumo baabbi'iyihiina wuu soo kacay, oo wuxuu meeshiisii uga soo baxay inuu dalkaaga cidlo ka dhigo, oo magaalooyinkaagana waa la baabbi'in doonaa, oo qofna ma degganaan doono.

⁸For this gird you with sackcloth, lament and howl: for the fierce anger of the LORD is not turned back from us.

⁸Taas aawadeed dhar joonyad ah guntada, oo baroorta, oo qayliya, waayo, cadhadii Rabbiga oo kululayd nagama noqon.

⁹And it shall come to pass at that day, saith the LORD, that the heart of the king shall perish, and the heart of the princes; and the priests shall be astonished, and the prophets shall wonder.

⁹Oo Rabbigu wuxuu leeyahay, Waxaa maalintaas noqon doona in boqorka qalbigiisa iyo amiirrada qalbigooduba ay kharribmaan, oo wadaaddaduna way yaabi doonaan, oo nebiyaduna way fajici doonaan.

¹⁰Then said I, Ah, Lord GOD! surely thou hast greatly deceived this people and Jerusalem, saying, Ye shall have peace; whereas the sword reacheth unto the soul.

¹⁰Markaasaan idhi, Sayidow, Rabbiyow, sida xaqiiqada ah dadkan iyo Yeruusaalemba aad iyo aad baad u khiyaanaysay, waayo, iyagoo seefi naftooda soo gaadhaysa ayaad ku tidhaahdaa, Nabad baad helaysaan.

¹¹At that time shall it be said to this people and to Jerusalem, A dry wind of the high places in the wilderness toward the daughter of my people, not to fan, nor to cleanse,

¹¹Oo wakhtigaas waxaa dadkan iyo Yeruusaalemba lagu odhan doonaa, Dadkayga dabayl kulul ayaa uga iman doonta xagga meelaha dhaadheer ee cidlada ku yaal, mana ahaan doonto mid wax haadinaysa amase wax safaynaysa,

¹²Even a full wind from those places shall come unto me: now also will I give sentence against them.

¹²laakiinse waxay ahaan doontaa dabayl xoog badan oo amarkayga ku imanaysa, oo weliba haatan anigu xukunkoodii waan ku hadli doonaa.

¹³Behold, he shall come up as clouds, and his chariots shall be as a whirlwind: his horses are swifter than eagles. Woe unto us! for we are spoiled.

¹³Bal eega, isagu wuxuu u iman doonaa sida daruur oo kale, oo gaadhifardoodyadiisuna waxay ahaan doonaan sida dabayl cirwareen ah oo kale, oo fardihiisuna xataa gorgorrada way ka sii dheereeyaan. Annagaa hoognay! Waayo, waannu baabba'nay.

¹⁴O Jerusalem, wash thine heart from wickedness, that thou mayest be saved. How long shall thy vain thoughts lodge within thee?

¹⁴Yeruusaalemay, qalbigaaga xumaanta ka maydh, si aad u badbaaddo aawadeed. Ilaa goormay fikirradaada sharka ahu kugu sii dhex jirayaan?

¹⁵For a voice declareth from Dan, and publisheth affliction from mount Ephraim.

¹⁵Waayo, xagga Daan cod baa ka yeedhaya, oo buuraha Efrayimna belaayo baa laga naadiyaa.

¹⁶Make ye mention to the nations; behold, publish against Jerusalem, that watchers come from a far country, and give out their voice against the cities of Judah.

¹⁶Quruumaha u diga oo Yeruusaalem ogeysiiya in ilaallo ay dal fog ka imanayaan, oo ay magaalooyinkii dalka Yahuudah ku qaylinayaan.

¹⁷As keepers of a field, are they against her round about; because she hath been rebellious against me, saith the LORD.

¹⁷Rabbigu wuxuu leeyahay, Sida kuwa beer dhawraya ayay hareeraheeda kaga kacsan yihiin, maxaa yeelay, iyadu way igu caasiyowday.

¹⁸Thy way and thy doings have procured these things unto thee; this is thy wickedness, because it is bitter, because it reacheth unto thine heart.

¹⁸Jidkaaga iyo falimahaaga ayaa waxyaalahan kuu keenay, tanu waa belaayadaada, wayna qadhaadh tahay, oo waxay gaadhaysaa xataa ilaa qalbigaaga.

¹⁹My bowels, my bowels! I am pained at my very heart; my heart maketh a noise in me; I cannot hold my peace, because thou hast heard, O my soul, the sound of the trumpet, the alarm of war.

¹⁹Calooshaydiiyey, calooshaydiiyey! Aniga qalbigaa i xanuunaya, oo wadnahaa i fig leh. Iskamana aamusi karo, maxaa yeelay, naftaydiiyey, waxaad maqashay buunka dhawaaqiisii iyo qayladii dagaalka.

²⁰Destruction upon destruction is cried; for the whole land is spoiled: suddenly are my tents spoiled, and my curtains in a moment.

²⁰Belaayo baa belaayay ku soo kor dhacday, ayaa lagu dhawaaqay, waayo, dalkii oo dhan waa baabba'ay. Teendhooyinkaygii haddiiba way baabbe'een, oo daahyadaydiina daqiiqad qudha ayay dhammaadeen.

²¹How long shall I see the standard, and hear the sound of the trumpet?

²¹Ilaa goormaan calanka arkayaa, oo aan buunka dhawaaqiisa sii maqlayaa?

²²For my people is foolish, they have not known me; they are sottish children, and they have none understanding: they are wise to do evil, but to do good they have no knowledge.

²²Waayo, dadkaygu waa nacasyo, oo aniga ima ay yaqaaniin. Iyagu waa carruur caqlidaran, oo innaba waxgarasho ma leh. Inay xumaan sameeyaan way u caqli badan yihiin, laakiinse inay samaan sameeyaan innaba aqoon uma leh.

²³I beheld the earth, and, lo, it was without form, and void; and the heavens, and they had no light.

²³Bal eega, dhulkaan fiiriyey, oo waxaan arkay inuusan qaab lahayn oo uu madhan yahay, oo haddana samooyinkaan fiiriyey, oo iyana innaba iftiin ma ay lahayn.

²⁴I beheld the mountains, and, lo, they trembled, and all the hills moved lightly.

²⁴Buurahaan fiiriyey, oo waxaan arkay inay gariirayeen, oo kurihii oo dhammuna way wada dhaqdhaqaaqayeen.

²⁵I beheld, and, lo, there was no man, and all the birds of the heavens were fled.

²⁵Oo haddana wax baan fiiriyey, oo ninna ma jirin, oo haaddii hawada oo dhammuna way wada carareen.

²⁶I beheld, and, lo, the fruitful place was a wilderness, and all the cities thereof were broken down at the presence of the LORD, and by his fierce anger.

²⁶Oo haddana wax baan fiiriyey, oo waxaan arkay dhulkii midhaha badnaa oo abaaroobay, oo magaalooyinkeedii oo dhammuna Rabbiga hortiisa ayay ku dundunsanaayeen cadhadiisii kululayd daraaddeed.

²⁷For thus hath the LORD said, The whole land shall be desolate; yet will I not make a full end.

²⁷Waayo, Rabbigu wuxuu leeyahay, Dalka oo dhammu wuu cidloobi doonaa, laakiinse anigu kulligiis wada baabbi'in maayo.

²⁸For this shall the earth mourn, and the heavens above be black; because I have spoken it, I have purposed it, and will not repent, neither will I turn back from it.

²⁸Taas aawadeed dhulku wuu u barooran doonaa, oo samooyinka sarena way u madoobaan doonaan, maxaa yeelay, waxan anigaa ku hadlay, oo anigaa u qastiyey, oo innaba ka qoomamoon maayo, kana soo noqon maayo marnaba.

²⁹The whole city shall flee for the noise of the horsemen and bowmen; they shall go into thickets, and climb up upon the rocks: every city shall be forsaken, and not a man dwell therein.

²⁹Magaalada oo dhammu waxay ka qixi doontaa qaylada fardoleyda iyo qaansoleyda, oo jiqday ku carari doonaan, dhagaxyada dushoodana way fuuli doonaan, magaalo kastana waa laga tegi doonaa, oo nin qudhuhuna ma degganaan doono.

³⁰And when thou art spoiled, what wilt thou do? Though thou clothest thyself with crimson, though thou deckest thee with ornaments of gold, though thou rentest thy face with painting, in vain shalt thou make thyself fair; thy lovers will despise thee, they will seek thy life.

³⁰Oo markii lagu dhoco bal maxaad samayn doontaa? In kastoo aad dhar guduudan xidhatid, iyo in kastoo aad dahab isku sharraxdid, iyo in kastoo aad indhakuul iska badisidba, waxtarla'aan baad isu qurxinaysaa, waayo, kuwii ku caashaqi jiray way ku wada quudhsadaan, oo waxay doonayaan inay nafta kaa qaadaan.Waayo, waxaan maqlay cod sidii naag foolanaysa, iyo qaylo sidii mid ilmaheedii ugu horreeyey dhalaysa, waana codkii magaalada Siyoon, oo taahaysa, oo gacmaheeda kala fidisa, oo waxay tidhaahdaa, anigaa haatan hoogay! Waayo, naftaydii aad bay ugu daallan tahay gacankudhiiglayaasha aawadood.

³¹For I have heard a voice as of a woman in travail, and the anguish as of her that bringeth forth her first child, the voice of the daughter of Zion, that bewaileth herself, that spreadeth her hands, saying, Woe is me now! for my soul is wearied because of murderers.

³¹Waayo, waxaan maqlay cod sidii naag foolanaysa, iyo qaylo sidii mid ilmaheedii ugu horreeyey dhalaysa, waana codkii magaalada Siyoon, oo taahaysa, oo gacmaheeda kala fidisa, oo waxay tidhaahdaa, anigaa haatan hoogay! Waayo, naftaydii aad bay ugu daallan tahay gacankudhiiglayaasha aawadood.
