¹The word of the LORD that came to Joel the son of Pethuel.

¹Kanu waa Eraygii Rabbiga oo u yimid Yoo'eel ina Fetuu'eel.

²Hear this, ye old men, and give ear, all ye inhabitants of the land. Hath this been in your days, or even in the days of your fathers?

²Odayaashow, kan maqla, oo dadka dalka degganow, dhammaantiin dhegta u dhiga. War tanu ma waxay dhacday wakhtigiinnii mase wakhtigii awowayaashiin?

³Tell ye your children of it, and let your children tell their children, and their children another generation.

³Haddaba idinku carruurtiinna u sheega, oo carruurtiinnuna carruurtooda ha u sii sheegeen, oo carruurtooduna qarni kale ha u sii sheegeen.

⁴That which the palmerworm hath left hath the locust eaten; and that which the locust hath left hath the cankerworm eaten; and that which the cankerworm hath left hath the caterpiller eaten.

⁴Wixii koronkorrada ka hadhay ayax baa cunay, oo wixii ayaxa ka hadhayna laddaa baa cunay, oo wixii laddaaga ka hadhayna diir baa cuntay.

⁵Awake, ye drunkards, and weep; and howl, all ye drinkers of wine, because of the new wine; for it is cut off from your mouth.

⁵Kuwiinna sakhraamiinta ahow, toosa, oo ooya, kuwiinna khamriga cabta oo dhammow, khamrigii macaanaa aawadiis u baroorta, waayo, waa idinka go'ay.

⁶For a nation is come up upon my land, strong, and without number, whose teeth are the teeth of a lion, and he hath the cheek teeth of a great lion.

⁶Waayo, dalkaygii waxaa ku soo kacay quruun xoog badan oo aan tiro lahayn, oo ilkahoodu waa sida ilko libaax oo kale, oo waxay leeyihiin miciyo gool libaax oo kale.

⁷He hath laid my vine waste, and barked my fig tree: he hath made it clean bare, and cast it away; the branches thereof are made white.

⁷Geedahaygii canabka ahaa way baabbi'iyeen, oo dhirtaydii berdaha ahaydna way diirteen, wayna mudhxiyeen oo kala tuurtuureen, oo laamahoodiina waa qayax cad.

⁸Lament like a virgin girded with sackcloth for the husband of her youth.

⁸Haddaba u musannaaba sidii gabadh joonyad xidhatay oo u barooranaysa arooskeedii ka dhintay.

⁹The meat offering and the drink offering is cut off from the house of the LORD; the priests, the LORD's ministers, mourn.

⁹Qurbaankii hadhuudhka iyo qurbaankii cabniinku waa ka go'een gurigii Rabbiga, oo wadaaddada ah Rabbiga midiidinnadiisa way barooranayaan.

¹⁰The field is wasted, the land mourneth; for the corn is wasted: the new wine is dried up, the oil languisheth.

¹⁰Beertii way ba'day oo dhulkii wuu barooranayaa, waayo, hadhuudhkii wuu baabba'ay, oo khamrigii cusbaana waa engegay, oo saliiddiina way cidlaanaysaa.

¹¹Be ye ashamed, O ye husbandmen; howl, O ye vinedressers, for the wheat and for the barley; because the harvest of the field is perished.

¹¹Kuwiinna beerreyda ahow, isku naxa, oo kuwiinna beeraha canabka ah ka shaqeeyow, u ooya sarreenka iyo shiciirka aawadood, waayo, beerta midhaheedii way baabbe'een.

¹²The vine is dried up, and the fig tree languisheth; the pomegranate tree, the palm tree also, and the apple tree, even all the trees of the field, are withered: because joy is withered away from the sons of men.

¹²Canabkii wuu engegay, oo berdihiina wuu dhaday, oo geedkii rummaanka, iyo geedkii timirta, iyo geedkii tufaaxa, iyo xataa dhirtii berrinka ku tiil oo dhammu way wada engegeen, oo farxaddiina way ka dhammaatay binu-aadmiga.

¹³Gird yourselves, and lament, ye priests: howl, ye ministers of the altar: come, lie all night in sackcloth, ye ministers of my God: for the meat offering and the drink offering is withholden from the house of your God.

¹³Kuwiinna wadaaddada ahow, joonyado guntada oo ooya, oo kuwiinna meesha allabariga ka adeegow, baroorta. Ilaahayga midiidinnadiisow, kaalaya oo habeenka oo dhan joonyado ku jiifa, waayo, qurbaankii hadhuudhka iyo qurbaankii cabniinkaba waa laga joojiyey gurigii Ilaahiinna.

¹⁴Sanctify ye a fast, call a solemn assembly, gather the elders and all the inhabitants of the land into the house of the LORD your God, and cry unto the LORD,

¹⁴Haddaba soon naadiya, oo shir ku dhawaaqa, oo soo wada ururiya odayaasha iyo dadka dalka deggan oo dhan, oo waxaad isugu keentaan guriga Rabbiga Ilaahiinna ah, oo markaas Rabbiga u qayshada.

¹⁵Alas for the day! for the day of the LORD is at hand, and as a destruction from the Almighty shall it come.

¹⁵Waxaa hoogtay maalintaas! Waayo, maalintii Rabbigu way soo dhow dahay, oo waxay u imanaysaa sida halligaad ka timid xagga Ilaaha Qaadirka ah.

¹⁶Is not the meat cut off before our eyes, yea, joy and gladness from the house of our God?

¹⁶War cuntadii sow kama go'in indhahayaga hortooda, farxaddii iyo rayrayntiina sow kama baabbi'in gurigii Ilaahayaga?

¹⁷The seed is rotten under their clods, the garners are laid desolate, the barns are broken down; for the corn is withered.

¹⁷Abuurkii la beeray wuxuu ku qalalay ciidda hoosteeda, oo maqsinnadiina way baabbe'een, oo bakhaarradiina waa la dumiyey, maxaa yeelay, hadhuudhkii baa qalalay.

¹⁸How do the beasts groan! the herds of cattle are perplexed, because they have no pasture; yea, the flocks of sheep are made desolate.

¹⁸Xayawaanku aad iyo aad bay u cabaadaan, oo sofyada lo'da ahu waxay la welwelsan yihiin daaqla'aan, oo xataa xeryaha idaha ahu waa dhibaataysan yihiin.

¹⁹O LORD, to thee will I cry: for the fire hath devoured the pastures of the wilderness, and the flame hath burned all the trees of the field.

¹⁹Rabbiyow, adigaan kuu qayshanayaa, waayo, dab baa laastay daaqii cidlada, oo dhirtii duurka ku tiilna olol baa wada gubay.Haddaba xayawaankii duurku biyahay kaa doonayaan, waayo, durdurradii biyuhu way engegeen, oo daaqii cidladana dab baa laastay.

²⁰The beasts of the field cry also unto thee: for the rivers of waters are dried up, and the fire hath devoured the pastures of the wilderness.

²⁰Haddaba xayawaankii duurku biyahay kaa doonayaan, waayo, durdurradii biyuhu way engegeen, oo daaqii cidladana dab baa laastay.
