¹Oh that my head were waters, and mine eyes a fountain of tears, that I might weep day and night for the slain of the daughter of my people!

¹Bal muu madaxaygu biyo noqdo, oo bal may indhahayguna il biyood oo ilmo daadisa noqdaan, si aan habeen iyo maalinba ugu ooyo kuwa laga laayay dadkayga!

²Oh that I had in the wilderness a lodging place of wayfaring men; that I might leave my people, and go from them! for they be all adulterers, an assembly of treacherous men.

²Bal maan cidlada ku lahaado hoy ay socotooyinku ku dhaxaan, si aan dadkayga uga tago, oo aan iyaga uga fogaado! Waayo, iyagu dhammaantood waxay noqdeen dhillayo, iyo urur khaa'inno ah.

³And they bend their tongues like their bow for lies: but they are not valiant for the truth upon the earth; for they proceed from evil to evil, and they know not me, saith the LORD.

³Carrabkooda ayay been ugu xoodaan sida qaanso oo kale, oo dhulkay ku xoogaysteen, runtase uma aha, waayo, sharba shar bay uga sii gudbaan, oo ima ay yaqaaniin, ayaa Rabbigu leeyahay.

⁴Take ye heed every one of his neighbour, and trust ye not in any brother: for every brother will utterly supplant, and every neighbour will walk with slanders.

⁴Midkiin kastaaba deriskiisa ha iska jiro oo walaalna ha isku hallaynina, waayo, walaal kastaaba waa khaa'in, oo deris kastaaba xan buu la wareegaa.

⁵And they will deceive every one his neighbour, and will not speak the truth: they have taught their tongue to speak lies, and weary themselves to commit iniquity.

⁵Midkood kastaaba wuxuu khiyaaneeyaa deriskiisa, oo runtana kuma ay hadlaan. Waxay carrabkooda bareen inuu been ku hadlo, oo waxay isku daaliyaan inay xumaan sameeyaan.

⁶Thine habitation is in the midst of deceit; through deceit they refuse to know me, saith the LORD.

⁶Rabbigu wuxuu leeyahay, Rugtaadu waxay ku dhex jirtaa khiyaano, oo khiyaano aawadeed ayay u diidaan inay i aqoonsadaan.

⁷Therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts, Behold, I will melt them, and try them; for how shall I do for the daughter of my people?

⁷Sidaas daraaddeed Rabbiga ciidammadu wuxuu leeyahay, Bal ogaada, iyagaan dhalaalin doonaa, waanan tijaabin doonaa, waayo, bal maxaa kaloo aan sameeyaa, dadkayga dartiis?

⁸Their tongue is as an arrow shot out; it speaketh deceit: one speaketh peaceably to his neighbour with his mouth, but in heart he layeth his wait.

⁸Carrabkoodu waa sida fallaadh wax dilaysa oo kale. Khiyaanuu ku hadlaa. Mid waluba deriskiisa nabad buu afka uga sheegaa, laakiinse uurka wuu uga gabbadaa.

⁹Shall I not visit them for these things? saith the LORD: shall not my soul be avenged on such a nation as this?

⁹Rabbigu wuxuu leeyahay, Miyaanan iyaga waxyaalahan u ciqaabayn? Miyaanse naftaydu ka aarsanayn quruun tanoo kale ah?

¹⁰For the mountains will I take up a weeping and wailing, and for the habitations of the wilderness a lamentation, because they are burned up, so that none can pass through them; neither can men hear the voice of the cattle; both the fowl of the heavens and the beast are fled; they are gone.

¹⁰Waxaan oohin iyo baroor kor ugu qaadi doonaa buuraha aawadood, oo daaqsimaha cidladana waan u barooran doonaa, maxaa yeelay, way gubteen si aan ciduna u dhex marin. Oo ninna codkii lo'da kama maqli karo, haaddii samada iyo dugaaggiiba way carareen oo way tageen.

¹¹And I will make Jerusalem heaps, and a den of dragons; and I will make the cities of Judah desolate, without an inhabitant.

¹¹Oo waxaan Yeruusaalem ka dhigi doonaa tuulmooyin burbur ah, iyo meel ay dawacooyinku ku hoydaan. Oo magaalooyinka dalka Yahuudahna waxaan ka dhigi doonaa cidla aan ciduna degganayn.

¹²Who is the wise man, that may understand this? and who is he to whom the mouth of the LORD hath spoken, that he may declare it, for what the land perisheth and is burned up like a wilderness, that none passeth through?

¹²Waa kuma ninka xigmadda leh oo waxan garan karaa? Oo kan Rabbiga afkiisu la hadlay inuu waxyaalahan sheegi karaa waa kuma? Bal maxaa dalku u halligmay, oo uu sidii cidlo oo kale ugu gubtay, si aan ciduna u dhex marin?

¹³And the LORD saith, Because they have forsaken my law which I set before them, and have not obeyed my voice, neither walked therein;

¹³Rabbigu wuxuu leeyahay, Iyagu sharcigaygii aan hortooda dhigay way ka tageen, oo codkaygiina ma ay addeecin, kumana ay dhex socon,

¹⁴But have walked after the imagination of their own heart, and after Baalim, which their fathers taught them:

¹⁴laakiinse waxay iska daba galeen caasinimadii qalbigooda, iyo Bacaliim oo ay awowayaashood iyaga bareen,

¹⁵Therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will feed them, even this people, with wormwood, and give them water of gall to drink.

¹⁵oo sidaas daraaddeed Rabbiga ciidammada oo ah Ilaaha reer binu Israa'iil wuxuu leeyahay, Dadkan waxaan ku quudin doonaa dacar, oo waxaan cabsiin doonaa biyo xammeetiyeed.

¹⁶I will scatter them also among the heathen, whom neither they nor their fathers have known: and I will send a sword after them, till I have consumed them.

¹⁶Oo iyaga waxaan ku kala dhex firdhin doonaa quruumaha iyaga iyo awowayaashood toona ayan aqoonin, oo waxaan iyaga ka daba diri doonaa seef jeeraan baabbi'iyo.

¹⁷Thus saith the LORD of hosts, Consider ye, and call for the mourning women, that they may come; and send for cunning women, that they may come:

¹⁷Rabbiga ciidammadu wuxuu leeyahay, Aad u fiirsada, oo u yeedha naagaha baroorta ha yimaadeene, waxaad u cid dirtaan naagaha aad baroorta u yaqaan ha yimaadeene.

¹⁸And let them make haste, and take up a wailing for us, that our eyes may run down with tears, and our eyelids gush out with waters.

¹⁸Oo iyagu ha soo dhaqsadeen, oo aad ha noogu baroorteen, si ay indhahayaga ilmo uga soo daadato oo ay biyona uga soo butaacaan.

¹⁹For a voice of wailing is heard out of Zion, How are we spoiled! we are greatly confounded, because we have forsaken the land, because our dwellings have cast us out.

¹⁹Waayo, waxaa Siyoon ka yeedhaya cod baroor ah oo leh, Sidee baannu u baabba'nay! Aad iyo aad baannu u ceebownay, maxaa yeelay, dalkii waannu ka tagnay, oo hoyaashayadiina waa nalaga dumiyey.

²⁰Yet hear the word of the LORD, O ye women, and let your ear receive the word of his mouth, and teach your daughters wailing, and every one her neighbour lamentation.

²⁰Dumarow, bal erayga Rabbiga maqla, oo dhegihiinnuna erayga afkiisa ha aqbaleen, oo gabdhihiinnana baroorashada bara, oo middiin kastaaba teeda kale ha barto.

²¹For death is come up into our windows, and is entered into our palaces, to cut off the children from without, and the young men from the streets.

²¹Waayo, geeri baa daaqadahayaga nooga soo dustay, oo waxay soo gashay daarahayaga inay carruurta dibadda ka baabbi'iso, oo ay barbaarradana jidadka ka baabbi'iso.

²²Speak, Thus saith the LORD, Even the carcases of men shall fall as dung upon the open field, and as the handful after the harvestman, and none shall gather them.

²²Waxaad tidhaahdaa, Rabbigu wuxuu leeyahay, Dadka meydkiisu wuxuu u soo daadan doonaa sida digo berrin bannaan taal oo kale iyo sida gacan muggeed oo ka hadhay nin beer soo goostay, oo ciduna sooma ururin doonto.

²³Thus saith the LORD, Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, neither let the mighty man glory in his might, let not the rich man glory in his riches:

²³Rabbigu wuxuu leeyahay, Kii xigmad lahu yuusan xigmaddiisa ku faanin, oo kii xoog badanuna yuusan xooggiisa ku faanin, oo kii taajir ahuna yuusan maalkiisa ku faanin,

²⁴But let him that glorieth glory in this, that he understandeth and knoweth me, that I am the LORD which exercise lovingkindness, judgment, and righteousness, in the earth: for in these things I delight, saith the LORD.

²⁴laakiinse kii faanaa ha ku faano inuu i garanayo oo uu i yaqaan inaan anigu ahay Rabbiga dhulka ku sameeya raxmadda, iyo caddaaladda, iyo xaqnimada, waayo, Rabbigu wuxuu leeyahay, Waxyaalahaasaan ku farxaa.

²⁵Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will punish all them which are circumcised with the uncircumcised;

²⁵Rabbigu wuxuu leeyahay, Bal ogaada, waxaa iman doona wakhtigii aan ciqaabi doono kuwa gudan oo uurka ka buuryaqabka ah oo dhan,kuwaasoo ah reer Masar, iyo dadka Yahuudah, iyo reer Edom, iyo reer Cammoon, iyo reer Moo'aab, iyo kuwa timaha madaxa dhinac ka jara oo cidlada jooga oo dhan, waayo, quruumahaas oo dhammu waa wada buuryaqab, oo dadka Israa'iil oo dhammu xagga qalbigay buuryaqab ka yihiin.

²⁶Egypt, and Judah, and Edom, and the children of Ammon, and Moab, and all that are in the utmost corners, that dwell in the wilderness: for all these nations are uncircumcised, and all the house of Israel are uncircumcised in the heart.

²⁶kuwaasoo ah reer Masar, iyo dadka Yahuudah, iyo reer Edom, iyo reer Cammoon, iyo reer Moo'aab, iyo kuwa timaha madaxa dhinac ka jara oo cidlada jooga oo dhan, waayo, quruumahaas oo dhammu waa wada buuryaqab, oo dadka Israa'iil oo dhammu xagga qalbigay buuryaqab ka yihiin.
