¹As the former time made light The land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, So the latter hath honoured the way of the sea, Beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the nations.

¹Habase ahaatee madow uma ahaan doono tii cidhiidhiga ku jirtay. Waagii hore wuxuu ka dhigay in la quudhsado dhulka Sebulun iyo dhulka Naftaali, laakiinse waagii dambe wuxuu ka dhigay in la sharafo dhulka ah xagga jidka badda, iyo Webi Urdun shishadiisa, iyo Galili quruumaha ka mid ah.

²The people who are walking in darkness Have seen a great light, Dwellers in a land of death-shade, Light hath shone upon them.

²Dadkii ku socon jiray gudcurka ayaa iftiin weyn arkay, kuwii fadhiyi jiray dalka hooska dhimashada ahna iftiin baa u baxay.

³Thou hast multiplied the nation, Thou hast made great its joy, They have joyed before Thee as the joy in harvest, As [men] rejoice in their apportioning spoil.

³Adigu quruunta waad badisay, oo farxaddoodiina waad sii kordhisay, oo waxay hortaada ugu farxaan sida farxadda wakhtiga beeraha la goosto, iyo sida niman booli qaybsanayaa ay u reyreeyaan oo kale.

⁴Because the yoke of its burden, And the staff of its shoulder, the rod of its exactor, Thou hast broken as [in] the day of Midian.

⁴Waayo, harqoodkii ku cuslaa, iyo hangoolkii garbaha lagaga dhufan jiray, iyo ushii kii dulmi jiray, ayaad jebisay sidii waagii reer Midyaan.

⁵For every battle of a warrior [is] with rushing, and raiment rolled in blood, And it hath been for burning — fuel of fire.

⁵Waayo, ninka hubka leh ee buuqa ku dhex jira hubkiisa oo dhan iyo dharka dhiigga miidhanna waa la gubi doonaa oo waxaa laga dhigi doonaa wax dabka lagu shido.

⁶For a Child hath been born to us, A Son hath been given to us, And the princely power is on his shoulder, And He doth call his name Wonderful, Counsellor, Mighty God, Father of Eternity, Prince of Peace.

⁶Waayo, waxaa inoo dhashay ilmo, waxaa layna siiyey wiil, oo boqornimadu garbihiisay saarmi doontaa, oo magiciisana waxaa loo bixin doonaa Ka yaabkaleh, iyo Lataliye, iyo Ilaaha Xoogga leh, iyo Aabbaha Daa'imka ah, iyo Amiirka Nabadda.

⁷To the increase of the princely power, And of peace, there is no end, On the throne of David, and on his kingdom, To establish it, and to support it, In judgment and in righteousness, Henceforth, even unto the age, The zeal of Jehovah of Hosts doth this.

⁷Oo boqornimadiisa iyo nabaddu way badnaan doonaan, dhammaadna uma lahaan doonaan carshiga Daa'uud iyo boqortooyadiisa, in la sii adkeeyo, oo caddaalad iyo xaqnimo lagu sii hayo haatan iyo tan iyo weligeedba. Oo tan waxaa samayn doona qiirada Rabbiga ciidammada.

⁸A word hath the Lord sent into Jacob, And it hath fallen in Israel.

⁸Sayidku wuxuu eray u soo diray dadka Yacquub wuxuuna ku kor dhacay dadka Israa'iil.

⁹And the people have known — all of it, Ephraim, and the inhabitant of Samaria, In pride and in greatness of heart, saying,

⁹Oo waxaa garan doona dadka oo dhan, xataa reer Efrayim iyo kuwa Samaariya deggan oo kibirka iyo islaweynaanta qalbiga ku hadla, iyagoo leh,

¹⁰`Bricks have fallen, and hewn work we build, Sycamores have been cut down, and cedars we renew.`

¹⁰Lebennadii way soo dheceen, laakiinse annagu waxaannu ku dhisi doonnaa dhagaxyo la qoray, geedihii darayga ahaa waa la jaray, laakiinse waxaannu ku beddeli doonnaa geedo kedar ah.

¹¹And Jehovah setteth the adversaries of Rezin on high above him, And his enemies he joineth together,

¹¹Haddaba sidaas daraaddeed Rabbigu wuxuu ku soo kicin doonaa kuwa Resiin la col ah, oo cadaawayaashiisana wuu isku soo wada ururin doonaa dhammaantood,

¹²Aram from before, and Philistia from behind, And they devour Israel with the whole mouth. With all this not turned back hath His anger, And still His hand is stretched out.

¹²wuxuu reer Suuriya ka soo kicin doonaa xagga bari, reer Falastiinna xagga galbeed, oo waxay dadka Israa'iil ku cuni doonaan af furan. Hase ahaatee cadhadiisa kama uu sii jeedin, laakiinse gacantiisii weli way fidsan tahay.

¹³And the people hath not turned back unto Him who is smiting it, And Jehovah of Hosts they have not sought.

¹³Laakiinse dadku uma ay soo noqon kii iyaga wax ku dhuftay, mana ay doondoonin Rabbiga ciidammada.

¹⁴And Jehovah cutteth off from Israel head and tail, Branch and reed — the same day,

¹⁴Haddaba sidaas daraaddeed Rabbigu maalin keliya ayuu dadka Israa'iil ka jari doonaa madaxa iyo dabadaba, iyo laanta iyo cawsduurkaba.

¹⁵Elder, and accepted of face, he [is] the head, Prophet, teacher of falsehood, he [is] the tail.

¹⁵Odayga iyo kan sharafta lahu waa madaxa, oo nebiga dadka beenta baraana waa dabada.

¹⁶And the eulogists of this people are causing to err, And its eulogised ones are consumed.

¹⁶Waayo, dadkan hoggaamiyayaashoodu way qaldaan, oo kuwa la hoggaamiyaana way wada baabba'aan.

¹⁷Therefore, over its young men the Lord rejoiceth not, And its orphans, and its widows He pitieth not, For every one [is] profane, and an evil doer, And every mouth is speaking folly. With all this not turned back hath His anger, And still His hand is stretched out.

¹⁷Haddaba sidaas daraaddeed Sayidku ku farxi maayo barbaarradooda, oo agoontooda iyo carmalladoodana u naxariisan maayo, waayo, midkood kastaaba waa cibaadalaawe iyo xumaanfale, oo af kastaana wuxuu ku hadlaa wax nacasnimo ah. Hase ahaatee cadhadiisa kama uu sii jeedin, laakiinse gacantiisii weli way fidsan tahay.

¹⁸For burned as a fire hath wickedness, Brier and thorn it devoureth, And it kindleth in thickets of the forest, And they lift themselves up, an exaltation of smoke!

¹⁸Waayo, xumaantu waxay wax u gubtaa sida dabka oo kale, oo waxay dam ka dhigtaa yamaarugga iyo qodxanta, oo jiqda duuddana way ololisaa, oo waxaa kor uga baxa daruur qiiq ah.

¹⁹In the wrath of Jehovah of Hosts Hath the land been consumed, And the people is as fuel of fire; A man on his brother hath no pity,

¹⁹Dhulku wuxuu la gubtay Rabbiga ciidammada cadhadiisa, oo dadkuna waxay yihiin sida wax dabka lagu shido, oo ninna walaalkiis ma caymiyo.

²⁰And cutteth down on the right, and hath been hungry, And he devoureth on the left, And they have not been satisfied, Each the flesh of his own arm they devour.

²⁰Xagga gacanta midig ayaa wax laga dhufsan doonaa, waana la sii gaajoon doonaa, xagga gacanta bidixna wax baa lagu cuni doonaa, lamana dhergi doono, oo midkood kastaaba wuxuu cuni doonaa hilibka gacantiisa.Reer Manaseh waxay cuni doonaan reer Efrayim, oo reer Efrayimna waxay cuni doonaan reer Manaseh, oo iyana dhammaantood waxay col ku ahaan doonaan reer Yahuudah. Hase ahaatee cadhadiisa kama uu sii jeedin, laakiinse gacantiisii weli way fidsan tahay.

²¹Manasseh — Ephraim, and Ephraim — Manasseh, Together they [are] against Judah, With all this not turned back hath His anger. And still His hand is stretched out!

²¹Reer Manaseh waxay cuni doonaan reer Efrayim, oo reer Efrayimna waxay cuni doonaan reer Manaseh, oo iyana dhammaantood waxay col ku ahaan doonaan reer Yahuudah. Hase ahaatee cadhadiisa kama uu sii jeedin, laakiinse gacantiisii weli way fidsan tahay.
