¹Thus said Jehovah unto me, `Go, and thou hast got for thee a girdle of linen, and hast placed it on thy loins, and into water thou dost not cause it to enter:`

¹Rabbigu wuxuu igu yidhi, Tag oo waxaad soo iibsataa gunti maro wanaagsan ah oo dhexda ku xidho, oo marnaba biyo ha dhex gelin.

²and I get the girdle, according to the word of Jehovah, and I place [it] on my loins.

²Sidaas daraaddeed gunti baan soo iibsaday sidii erayga Rabbigu ahaa, oo dhexdaan ku xidhay.

³And there is a word of Jehovah unto me a second time, saying,

³Oo haddana mar labaad ayaa eraygii Rabbigu ii yimid, oo wuxuu igu yidhi,

⁴`Take the girdle that thou hast got, that [is] on thy loins, and rise, go to Phrat, and hide it there in a hole of the rock;

⁴Waxaad qaadataa guntigii aad soo iibsatay oo haatan dhexda kuugu xidhan, oo kac, oo waxaad tagtaa xagga Webi Yufraad, oo halkaas ku qari dhagaxa weyn godkiisa.

⁵and I go and hide it by Phrat, as Jehovah commanded me.

⁵Sidaas daraaddeed waan tegey oo waxaan guntigii ku soo qariyey Webi Yufraad agtiisa, sidii Rabbigu igu amray.

⁶And it cometh to pass, at the end of many days, that Jehovah saith unto me, `Rise, go to Phrat, and take thence the girdle, that I commanded thee to hide there;`

⁶Oo maalmo badan dabadeed ayaa Rabbigu igu yidhi, Kac oo waxaad tagtaa xagga Webi Yufraad, oo waxaad halkaas ka soo bixisaa guntigii aan kugu amray inaad halkaas ku qariso.

⁷and I go to Phrat, and dig, and take the girdle from the place where I had hid it; and lo, the girdle hath been marred, it is not profitable for anything.

⁷Markaasaan Webi Yufraad tegey, oo intaan qoday ayaan guntigii ka soo bixiyey meeshii aan ku qariyey, oo bal eeg, guntigii wuu ba'ay, oo waxba ma taraynin.

⁸And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying, `Thus said Jehovah:

⁸Markaasaa eraygii Rabbigu ii yimid oo wuxuu igu yidhi,

⁹Thus do I mar the excellency of Judah, And the great excellency of Jerusalem.

⁹Rabbigu wuxuu leeyahay, Sidaas oo kale ayaan u bi'in doonaa kibirka dadka Yahuudah, iyo kibirka weyn oo Yeruusaalemba.

¹⁰This evil people, who refuse to hear My words, Who walk in the stubbornness of their heart, And go after other gods to serve them, And to bow themselves to them, Yea it is — as this girdle, that is not profitable for anything.

¹⁰Dadkan sharka ah, oo diida inay erayadayda maqlaan, oo iska daba gala caasinimada qalbigooda, oo raaca ilaahyo kale inay iyaga u adeegaan oo caabudaan, waxay kulligood noqon doonaan sida guntigan aan waxba taraynin oo kale.

¹¹For, as the girdle cleaveth unto the loins of a man, So I caused to cleave unto Me The whole house of Israel, And the whole house of Judah, an affirmation of Jehovah, To be to Me for a people, and for a name, And for praise, and for beauty, And they have not hearkened.

¹¹Waayo, Rabbigu wuxuu leeyahay, Sida guntigu ugu dhegsan yahay nin dhexdiis, sidaas oo kalaan uga dhigay inay aniga iigu dhegsanaadaan dadka Israa'iil oo dhan iyo dadka Yahuudah oo dhammuba, inay ii ahaadaan dad, iyo magac, iyo ammaan, iyo sharafba, laakiinse iyagu way i maqli waayeen innaba.

¹²And thou hast said unto them this word, Thus said Jehovah, God of Israel, `Every bottle is full of wine,` And they have said unto thee: `Do we not certainly know that every bottle is full of wine?`

¹²Sidaas daraaddeed waxaad iyaga u sheegtaa eraygan, oo waxaad ku tidhaahdaa, Rabbiga ah Ilaaha reer binu Israa'iil wuxuu leeyahay, Sibraar kasta waxaa laga buuxin doonaa khamri, iyaguna waxay kugu odhan doonaan, War sida runta ah miyaannan ogayn in sibraar kastaba khamri laga buuxin doono?

¹³And thou hast said unto them, `Thus said Jehovah: Lo, I am filling all the inhabitants of this land, And the kings who sit for David on his throne, And the priests, and the prophets, And all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, [With] drunkenness,

¹³Oo markaas waxaad iyaga ku tidhaahdaa, Rabbigu wuxuu leeyahay, Bal ogaada, dadka dalkan deggan oo dhan iyo xataa boqorrada carshigii Daa'uud ku fadhiya, iyo wadaaddada, iyo nebiyada, iyo dadka Yeruusaalem deggan oo dhanba waxaan ka wada buuxin doonaa sakhraannimo.

¹⁴And have dashed them one against another, And the fathers and the sons together, An affirmation of Jehovah, I do not pity, nor spare, nor have I mercy, So as not to destroy them.

¹⁴Oo Rabbigu wuxuu leeyahay, Midba mid kalaan ku garaaci doonaa, xataa aabbayaasha iyo wiilashoodaba. Oo innaba uma aan nixi doono, umana aan tudhi doono, umana aan naxariisan doono, waanan wada baabbi'in doonaa.

¹⁵Hear, and give ear — be not haughty, For Jehovah hath spoken.

¹⁵Maqla, oo dheg u dhiga, hana kibrina, waayo, Rabbigu wuu hadlay.

¹⁶Give ye to Jehovah your God honour, Before He doth cause darkness, And before your feet stumble on dark mountains, And ye have waited for light, And He hath made it for death-shade, And hath appointed [it] for thick darkness.

¹⁶Rabbiga Ilaahiinna ah ammaana intuusan gudcur idinku soo dejin, iyo intaan cagihiinnu ku turunturoon buuraha gudcurka ah, oo intaad iftiin sugaysaan uusan idiinku beddelin hooskii dhimashada iyo gudcur dam ah.

¹⁷And if ye do not hear it, In secret places doth my soul weep, because of pride, Yea, it weepeth sore, And the tear cometh down mine eyes, For the flock of Jehovah hath been taken captive.

¹⁷Laakiinse haddaad maqli weydaan, naftaydu meel qarsoon bay kibirkiinna aawadiis u ooyi doontaa, oo indhahayguna aad bay u ooyi doonaan, oo ilmaa ka soo daadan doonta, maxaa yeelay, dadkii Rabbiga waa la kaxaystay sida adhi oo kale.

¹⁸Say to the king and to the mistress: Make yourselves low — sit still, For come down have your principalities, The crown of your beauty.

¹⁸Oo boqorka iyo hooyadiisa boqoradda ahba waxaad ku tidhaahdaa, Is-hoosaysiiya, waayo, taajkii sharaftiinnu hoos buu madaxa uga soo dhacay.

¹⁹The cities of the south have been shut up, And there is none opening, Judah hath been removed — all of her, She hath been removed completely —

¹⁹Magaalooyinkii koonfureed waa la xidhay, oo cid furaysaana ma jirto. Dadka Yahuudah oo dhan maxaabiis ahaan baa loo kaxaystay, oo kulligood maxaabiis ahaan baa loo wada kaxaystay.

²⁰Lift up your eyes, and see those coming in from the north, Where [is] the drove given to thee, thy beautiful flock?

²⁰Indhihiinna kor u qaada, oo bal waxaad fiirisaan kuwa woqooyi ka soo socda, bal meeh adhigii lagu siiyey oo ah xayntaadii quruxda badnayd?

²¹What dost thou say, when He looketh after thee? And thou — thou hast taught them [to be] over thee — leaders for head? Do not pangs seize thee as a travailing woman?

²¹Bal maxaad odhan doontaa markii madax lagaaga dhigo kuwaad bartay inay saaxiibbo kuu noqdaan? Sow xanuun kuuma qaban doono sida naag foolanaysa?

²²And when thou dost say in thy heart, `Wherefore have these met me?` For the abundance of thine iniquity Have thy skirts been uncovered, Have thy heels suffered violence.

²²Oo haddaad qalbigaaga iska tidhaahdid, Bal maxaa waxyaalahanu iigu dheceen? Xumaantaada badatay aawadeed ayaa darfaha dharkaaga loo xayday oo cedhbahaagiina loo qaawiyey.

²³Doth a Cushite change his skin? and a leopard his spots? Ye also are able to do good, who are accustomed to do evil.

²³Miyaa Xabashi midabkiisa beddeli karaa, shabeelse miyuu barihiisa beddeli karaa? Markaas idinka xumaanta u bartayba wanaag baad samayn kari doontaan.

²⁴And I scatter them as stubble, Passing away, by a wind of the wilderness.

²⁴Sidaas daraaddeed ayaan kala firdhin doonaa sida dabaysha cidladu ay xaab baabba'aya u kala firdhiso oo kale.

²⁵This [is] thy lot, the portion of thy measures from Me — an affirmation of Jehovah, Because thou hast forgotten me, And dost trust in falsehood.

²⁵Rabbigu wuxuu leeyahay, Tanu waa qaybtaada oo ah intii aan kuu qiyaasay, maxaa yeelay, waad i illowday, oo been baad isku hallaysay.

²⁶I also have made bare thy skirts before thy face, And thy shame hath been seen.

²⁶Sidaas daraaddeed darfaha dharkaagaan xaydi doonaa ilaa wejigaaga si ay ceebtaadu u muuqato aawadeed.Waan arkay sinadaadii, iyo dananiddaadii, iyo wasakhnimadii dhillanimadaada kuwaasoo ahaa karaahiyadaadii aad kuraha iyo berrinkaba ku samaysay. Yeruusaalemay, adigaa iska hoogay! Ilaa goormaad diidaysaa inaad nadiifsanaato?

²⁷Thine adulteries, and thy neighings, The wickedness of thy whoredom, on heights in a field, I have seen thine abominations. Wo to thee, O Jerusalem, Thou art not cleansed, after when [is it] again?

²⁷Waan arkay sinadaadii, iyo dananiddaadii, iyo wasakhnimadii dhillanimadaada kuwaasoo ahaa karaahiyadaadii aad kuraha iyo berrinkaba ku samaysay. Yeruusaalemay, adigaa iska hoogay! Ilaa goormaad diidaysaa inaad nadiifsanaato?
