¹Righteous [art] Thou, O Jehovah, When I plead towards thee, Only, judgments do I speak with Thee, Wherefore did the way of the wicked prosper? At rest have been all treacherous dealers.

¹Rabbiyow, xaq baad tahay markaan kula muddaco, haddaba bal aan xukummadaada kaala hadlo. Sharrowyada jidkoodu bal muxuu u hagaagaa? Oo kuwa khiyaano kula macaamiloodo oo dhammuna bal maxay u nabdoon yihiin?

²Thou hast planted them, yea, they have taken root, They go on, yea, they have made fruit, Near [art] Thou in their mouth, And far off from their reins.

²Iyagaad beertay, oo weliba xidid bay yeesheen, way koraan, oo midhay dhalaan. Adigu afkooda waad ku dhow dahay, laakiinse qalbigooda waad ka fog tahay.

³And Thou, O Jehovah, Thou hast known me, Thou seest me, and hast tried my heart with Thee, Draw them away as sheep to slaughter, And separate them for a day of slaughter.

³Laakiinse, Rabbiyow, adigu waad i taqaan, waanad i aragtaa, oo qalbigaygana xaggaagaad u tijaabisaa. Iyaga u soo bixi sida ido la gowracayo, oo u diyaari maalinta gowracidda.

⁴Till when doth the earth mourn, And the herb of the whole field wither? For the wickedness of those dwelling in it, Consumed have been beast and fowl, Because they said, `He doth not see our latter end.`

⁴Ilaa goormuu dalku sii barooranayaa, oo uu waddanka oo dhan dooggiisu engegayaa? Xumaanta kuwa dhex deggan aawadeed ayaa xayawaankii iyo shimbirrihiiba wada baabbe'een, maxaa yeelay, dadku waxay yidhaahdeen, Isagu ugudambaystayada ma uu arki doono.

⁵For — with footmen thou hast run, And they weary thee, And how dost thou fret thyself with horses! Even in the land of peace, [In which] thou art confident — And how dost thou in the rising of Jordan!

⁵Haddaad rag lug ah la orodday oo ay ku daaliyeen, haddaba bal sidee baad fardo ula tartami kartaa? Oo haddii lagugu daaliyo dalkii nabadda ahaa oo aad isku hallaynaysay, haddaba bal maxaad ku dhex samayn doontaa kibirka Webi Urdun?

⁶For even thy brethren and the house of thy father, Even they dealt treacherously against thee, Even they — they called after thee fully, Trust not in them, when they speak to thee good things.

⁶Waayo, xataa walaalaha iyo reerkii aabbahaaba khiyaano bay kugula macaamiloodeen, oo weliba aad bay kaaga soo daba qayliyeen. In kastoo ay erayo wanaagsan kugula hadlaan, ha rumaysan.

⁷I have forsaken My house, I have left Mine inheritance, I have given the beloved of My soul Into the hand of her enemies.

⁷Anigu gurigaygii waan ka tegey, oo dhaxalkaygiina waan iska xooray, oo tii ay naftaydu aad u jeclaydna waxaan gacanta u geliyey cadaawayaasheedii.

⁸Mine inheritance hath been to Me as a lion in a forest, She gave forth against Me with her voice, Therefore I have hated her.

⁸Tan dhaxalkaygii ahayd waxay igu noqotay sidii libaax kaynta ku jira oo kale, codkeeday kor iigu qaadday, oo sidaas daraaddeed waan nebcaaday.

⁹A speckled fowl [is] Mine inheritance to Me? Is the fowl round about against her? Come, assemble, every beast of the field, Come ye for food.

⁹Tan dhaxalkaygii ahayd waxay igu tahay xaad birdhicyo leh oo kale, oo xaadka hareereheeda ku wareegsan oo dhammuna waa ku col iyada. Taga oo xayawaanka duurka oo dhan soo wada ururiya, oo soo wada kaxeeya ha cuneene.

¹⁰Many shepherds did destroy My vineyard, They have trodden down My portion, They have made My desirable portion Become a wilderness — a desolation.

¹⁰Adhijirro badan ayaa beertaydii canabka ahayd baabbi'iyey, qaybtaydii cagta bay kula tunteen, oo qaybtaydii wanaagsanaydna waxay ka dhigeen lamadegaan cidla ah.

¹¹He hath made it become a desolation, The desolation hath mourned unto Me, Desolated hath been all the land, But there is no one laying it to heart.

¹¹Cidla bay ka dhigeen, oo iyadoo cidla ah ayay xaggayga u soo baroorataa. Dalkii oo dhan cidla waa laga dhigay, waayo, ninna dan kama galo.

¹²On all high places in the plain have spoilers come in, For the sword of Jehovah is consuming, From the end of the land even unto the end of the land, There is no peace to any flesh.

¹²Meelaha dhaadheer oo cidlada ku dhex yaal oo dhan waxaa ku soo kacay baabbi'iyayaashii, waayo, seefta Rabbiga ayaa wax ka baabbi'isa dalka darafkiisan iyo ilaa darafka kale inta ka dhex leh, oo binu-aadmiga oo dhan midnaba nabad ma leh.

¹³They sowed wheat, and have thorns reaped, They have become sick — they profit not, And they have been ashamed of your increases, Because of the fierceness of the anger of Jehovah.

¹³Iyagu waxay beerteen sarreen, laakiinse qodxan bay soo goosteen, aad bay u daaleen, laakiinse innaba ma ay faa'iidaan. Waxaad ku ceeboobi doontaan midhaha aad goosanaysaan, waana Rabbiga cadhadiisa kulul aawadeed.

¹⁴Thus said Jehovah concerning all my evil neighbours, who are striking against the inheritance that I caused my people — Israel — to inherit: `Lo, I am plucking them from off their ground, And the house of Judah I pluck out of their midst.

¹⁴Derisyadayda sharka ah oo dhan oo taabta dhaxalkii aan dadkayga reer binu Israa'iil dhaxalsiiyey, Rabbigu wuxuu ka leeyahay, Bal ogaada, iyagaan dalka ka rujin doonaa, oo dadka Yahuudahna waan ka rujin doonaa dhexdooda.

¹⁵And it hath been, after My plucking them out, I turn back, and have pitied them, And I have brought them back, Each to his inheritance, and each to his land.

¹⁵Oo markaan iyaga rujiyo dabadeed waan soo noqon doonaa oo iyagaan u naxariisan doonaa, oo mar kalaan ku soo celin doonaa nin kasta dhaxalkiisii iyo dhulkiisii.

¹⁶And it hath come to pass, If they learn well the ways of My people, To swear by My name, `Jehovah liveth,` As they taught My people to swear by Baal, Then they have been built up in the midst of My people.

¹⁶Oo hadday jidadka dadkayga aad u bartaan oo ay magacayga ku dhaartaan iyagoo leh, Rabbiga nool baannu ku dhaaranaynaa, xataa siday dadkayga u bareen inay Bacal ku dhaartaan, markaas iyagaa lagu dhisi doonaa dadkayga dhexdiisa.Laakiinse Rabbigu wuxuu leeyahay, Hadday i dhegaysan waayaan, quruuntaas waan wada rujin doonaa, oo waan baabbi'in doonaa.

¹⁷And if they do not hearken, Then I have plucked up that nation, Plucking up and destroying, An affirmation of Jehovah!`

¹⁷Laakiinse Rabbigu wuxuu leeyahay, Hadday i dhegaysan waayaan, quruuntaas waan wada rujin doonaa, oo waan baabbi'in doonaa.
