¹When Ephraim speaketh tremblingly, He hath been lifted up in Israel, When he becometh guilty in Baal he dieth.

¹Markii reer Efrayim hadleen waxaa jiray gariir, oo dalka Israa'iil ayay isku dhex sarraysiiyeen, laakiinse markay Bacal ku gardarnaadeen ayay dhinteen.

²And now do they add to sin, And make to them a molten image of their silver, By their own understanding — idols, A work of artizans — all of it, Of them they say, who [are] sacrificers among men, `The calves let them kiss.`

²Oo haatan aad bay u sii dembaabaan, oo waxay lacagtooda ka samaysteen taswiiro la shubay kuwaasoo ah xataa sanamyo ay u samaysteen sida ay waxgarashadoodu tahay, oo dhammaantoodna waxaa weeye nin saanac ah sancadiis, oo waxay ka sheegaan, Dadka allabariga bixiya weylaha sanamyada ah ha dhunkadeen.

³Therefore they are as a cloud of the morning, And as dew, rising early, going away, As chaff tossed about out of a floor, And as smoke out of a window.

³Haddaba sidaas daraaddeed waxay noqon doonaan sida daruurta subaxnimo, iyo sida sayaxa aroor hore baabba'a, iyo sida buunshaha dabayshu ka kaxayso goobta hadhuudhka lagu tumo, iyo sida qiiqa sholadda ka baxa.

⁴And I [am] Jehovah thy God from the land of Egypt, And a God besides Me thou dost not know, And a Saviour — there is none save Me.

⁴Laakiinse anigu waxaan ahay Rabbiga Ilaahiinna ah oo idinka soo bixiyey dalkii Masar, oo waa inaydaan aqoonsan ilaah kale aniga mooyaane, oo badbaadiye kale ma jiro innaba aniga mooyaane.

⁵I — I have known thee in a wilderness, In a land of droughts.

⁵Anigu waan idin iqiin markii aad dhex joogteen cidladii ahayd dalka abaarta badan.

⁶According to their feedings they are satiated, They have been satiated, And their heart is lifted up, Therefore they have forgotten Me,

⁶Markii ay wax daaqeen ayay dhergeen, oo markay dhergeen dabadeed ayaa qalbigoodii kor u kacay, haddaba sidaas daraaddeed bay ii illoobeen.

⁷And I am to them as a lion, As a leopard by the way I look out.

⁷Sidaas daraaddeed waxaan iyaga ku ahay sida libaax oo kale, oo sida shabeel ayaan jidka ku ag dhawri doonaa.

⁸I do meet them as a bereaved bear, And I rend the enclosure of their heart.

⁸Oo waxaan iyaga uga hor iman doonaa sida orso gabneheedii laga gablamiyey, oo waxaan jeexjeexi doonaa xuubkii wadnahooda, oo halkaasaan iyaga ku baabbi'in doonaa sidii gool libaax oo kale, oo waxaa iyaga dildillaacsan doona dugaagga.

⁹And I consume them there as a lioness, A beast of the field doth rend them.

⁹Dadka Israa'iilow, baabbi'inna waxaa sabab u ah cadownimada aad ii qabtaan anoo caawiyihiinna ah.

¹⁰Thou hast destroyed thyself, O Israel, But in Me [is] thy help, Where [is] thy king now — And he doth save thee in all thy cities? And thy judges of whom thou didst say, `Give to me a king and heads?`

¹⁰Haddaba magaalooyinkiinna oo dhan ha idinku badbaadiyee meeh boqorkiinnii? Oo meeye xaakinnadiinnii aad ka tidhaahdeen, Na sii boqor iyo amiirro?

¹¹I give to thee a king in Mine anger, And I take away in My wrath.

¹¹Anigoo xanaaqsan ayaan boqor idin siiyey, oo haddana anigoo cadhaysan ayaan idinka qaaday.

¹²Bound up [is] the iniquity of Ephraim, Hidden [is] his sin,

¹²Xumaantii reer Efrayim waa xidhxidhan tahay, oo dembigoodiina meel baa lagu kaydiyey.

¹³Pangs of a travailing woman come to him, He [is] a son not wise, For he remaineth not the time for the breaking forth of sons.

¹³Oo waxaa iyaga ku soo kor degi doonta murugtii naag foolanaysa. Iyagu waa sida wiil aan caqli lahayn, waayo, haatan waa wakhtigii uusan ku sii raagin meeshii carruurtu ka soo dhalan jireen.

¹⁴From the hand of Sheol I do ransom them, From death I redeem them, Where [is] thy plague, O death? Where thy destruction, O Sheol? Repentance is hid from Mine eyes.

¹⁴Anigu waxaan iyaga ka soo furan doonaa xoogga She'oolka, oo waxaan ka soo badbaadin doonaa dhimashada. Dhimashoy, meeye belaayooyinkaagii? She'oolow, meeday baabbi'intaadii? Toobaddu indhahayga way ka qarsoonaan doontaa.

¹⁵Though he among brethren produceth fruit, Come in doth an east wind, a wind of Jehovah, From a wilderness it is coming up, And it drieth up his fountain, And become dry doth his spring, It — it spoileth a treasure — every desirable vessel.

¹⁵In kastoo uu walaalihiis dhexdooda ku dhal badan yahay, waxaa iman doonta dabayl bari ka timid, taasoo ah neefta Rabbiga oo cidlada ka soo baxaysa, oo ishiisa biyood way engegi doontaa, oo durdurkiisuna wuu iska gudhi doonaa, oo waa laga wada dhici doonaa khasnadda alaabta qaaliga ahu ugu jirto.Reer Samaariya gardarradooda way qaadi doonaan, waayo, way ku caasiyowdeen Ilaahoodii. Seef baa lagu layn doonaa, dhallaankoodana dhulkaa lagu tuuri doonaa, oo naagahooda uurka lehna waa la dooxi doonaa.

¹⁶Become desolate doth Samaria, Because she hath rebelled against her God, By sword they do fall, Their sucklings are dashed in pieces, And its pregnant ones are ripped up!

¹⁶Reer Samaariya gardarradooda way qaadi doonaan, waayo, way ku caasiyowdeen Ilaahoodii. Seef baa lagu layn doonaa, dhallaankoodana dhulkaa lagu tuuri doonaa, oo naagahooda uurka lehna waa la dooxi doonaa.
