¹The burden of Damascus. Lo, Damascus is taken away from [being] a city, And it hath been a heap — a ruin.

¹Kanu waa warka culus ee Dimishaq ku saabsan. Bal eega, Dimishaq inay magaalo sii ahaato waa laga joojiyey, oo waxay ahaan doontaa tuulmooyin burbur ah.

²Forsaken are the cities of Aroer, For droves they are, and they have lain down, And there is none troubling.

²Magaalooyinkii Carooceer waa laga wada tegey. Waxay noqon doonaan meelo adhyuhu daaqaan oo ay iska fadhiistaan, oo ciduna ma didin doonto.

³And ceased hath the fortress from Ephraim, And the kingdom from Damascus, And the remnant of Aram are as the honour of the sons of Israel, The affirmation of Jehovah of Hosts!

³Rabbiga ciidammadu wuxuu leeyahay, Qalcaddu reer Efrayim way ka baabbi'i doontaa, oo boqortooyaduna Dimishaq way ka dhammaan doontaa, oo kuwa Suuriya ka hadhi doonaana waxay noqon doonaan sida sharaftii dadkii Israa'iil.

⁴And it hath come to pass, in that day, Wax poor doth the honour of Jacob, And the fatness of his flesh doth wax lean.

⁴Oo maalintaas sharafta reer Yacquub way daciifi doontaa, oo baruurta jidhkiisuna way macaluuli doontaa.

⁵And it hath come to pass, As the gathering by the reaper of the standing corn, And his arm the ears reapeth, And it hath come to pass, As the gathering of the ears in the valley of Rephaim,

⁵Oo waxay noqon doontaa sida marka beeragooyuhu balka soo urursho oo gacantiisuna ay sabuullada soo gurato, oo waxay noqon doontaa sida mid sabuullo laga tegey ka guranaya dooxada Refaa'iim.

⁶And left in him have been gleanings, As the compassing of an olive, Two — three berries on the top of a branch, Four — five on the fruitful boughs, The affirmation of Jehovah, God of Israel!

⁶Rabbiga ah Ilaaha reer binu Israa'iil wuxuu leeyahay, Weli canab xaabxaab ah ayaa ku hadhi doona, oo sida geed saytuun ah oo la ruxay ayaa laba ama saddex xabbadood ku hadhi doonaan laanta geedka ugu korraysa dhaladeeda, laamaha ugu shisheeya oo midhaha badanna waxaa ku hadhi doona afar ama shan xabbadood.

⁷In that day doth man look to His Maker, Yea, his eyes to the Holy One of Israel look,

⁷Oo maalintaas nin baa wuxuu fiirin doonaa Abuurihiisii, oo indhihiisuna waxay u jeedsan doonaan Kan Quduuska ah oo reer binu Israa'iil.

⁸And he looketh not unto the altars. The work of his own hands, And that which his own fingers made He seeth not — the shrines and the images.

⁸Oo isagu ma uu fiirin doono meelaha allabariga ee uu gacmihiisa ku sameeyey, umana uu jeedsan doono wixii ay farihiisu sameeyeen, kuwaasoo ah geedaha Asheeraah, iyo sanamyada qorraxda.

⁹In that day are the cities of his strength As the forsaken thing of the forest, And the branch that they have left, Because of the sons of Israel, It also hath been a desolation.

⁹Oo maalintaas magaalooyinkiisa xoogga badanu waxay noqon doonaan sida meelaha ay reer Xiwi iyo reer Amor kaga tageen reer binu Israa'iil hortood, oo waxaa jiri doona baabba'.

¹⁰Because thou hast forgotten the God of thy salvation, And the rock of thy strength hast not remembered, Therefore thou plantest plants of pleasantness, And with a strange slip sowest it,

¹⁰Maxaa yeelay, waxaad illowday Ilaaha badbaadadaada, oo kamana aad fikirin Dhagaxa xoogga kuu ah, sidaas daraaddeed waxaad beertaa geedo wacan, waxaadna tallaashaa geedo qalaad oo canab ah.

¹¹In the day thy plant thou causest to become great, And in the morning thy seed makest to flourish, A heap [is] the harvest in a day of overflowing, And of mortal pain.

¹¹Maalintii aad beerto ayaad xeraysaa, subaxdiina waxaad ubax ka keentaa abuurkaaga, laakiinse beergoosadku wuxuu carari doonaa maalin murug iyo caloolxumo badan.

¹²Wo [to] the multitude of many peoples, As the sounding of seas they sound; And [to] the wasting of nations, As the wasting of mighty waters they are wasted.

¹²Dadka faraha badanu aad bay u buuqayaan, oo waxay u hugmaan sida hugunka badda! Quruumuhu aad bay u bulxamayaan, oo waxay u guuxaan sidii guuxa biyo xoog badan!

¹³Nations as the wasting of many waters are wasted, And He hath pushed against it, And it hath fled afar off, And been pursued as chaff of hills before wind, And as a rolling thing before a hurricane.

¹³Quruumuhu waxay u guuxi doonaan sida guuxa biyo faro badan, laakiinse wuu canaanan doonaa, oo meel fog bay u carari doonaan, oo waxaa loo eryi doonaa sida xaabka buuraha ee dabayshu kaxayso iyo sida boodh cirwareen ah.Bal eega, makhribkii cabsi baa jirta, oo aroortii ka horna ma jiraan. Taasu waa waxa ku dhaca kuwa na booba iyo qaybtii kuwa na dhaca.

¹⁴At even-time, lo, terror, before morning it is not, This [is] the portion of our spoilers, And the lot of our plunderers!

¹⁴Bal eega, makhribkii cabsi baa jirta, oo aroortii ka horna ma jiraan. Taasu waa waxa ku dhaca kuwa na booba iyo qaybtii kuwa na dhaca.
