¹If thou dost turn back, O Israel, An affirmation of Jehovah, unto Me turn back, And if thou dost turn aside Thine abominations from My face, Then thou dost not bemoan.

¹Rabbigu wuxuu leeyahay, Dadka Israa'iilow, haddaad soo noqotaan, waa inaad xaggayga u soo noqotaan, oo haddaad karaahiyadiinna hortayda ka fogaysaanna innaba laydin dhaqdhaqaajin maayo.

²And thou hast sworn — Jehovah liveth, In truth, in judgment, and in righteousness, And blessed themselves in Him have nations, And in Him they boast themselves.

²Oo haddaad si run iyo caddaalad iyo xaqnimo ah ugu dhaarataan, Rabbigu waa nool yahay, de markaas quruumuhu isagay ku ducaysan doonaan, oo isagay ku faani doonaan.

³For thus said Jehovah, To the man of Judah, and to Jerusalem: Till for yourselves tillage, And do not sow unto the thorns.

³Rabbigu wuxuu dadka dalka Yahuudah iyo reer Yeruusaalem ku leeyahay, Dhulkiinna jeexan jabsada, oo qodxan dhexdood waxba ha ku beeranina.

⁴Be circumcised to Jehovah, And turn aside the foreskins of your heart, O man of Judah, and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem, Lest My fury go out as fire, and hath burned, And there is none quenching, Because of the evil of your doings.

⁴Raggiinna dalka Yahuudah iyo kuwa Yeruusaalem degganow, Rabbiga isu guda, oo iska gooya buuryada qalbigiinna, si ayan cadhadaydu u soo bixin sida dab oo kale, oo ayan u hurin si aan innaba loo demin karin sharka falimihiinna aawadiis.

⁵Declare in Judah, and in Jerusalem sound, And say ye, `Blow a trumpet in the land,` Call ye fully, and say ye: `Be gathered, and we go in to the fenced city.`

⁵Dalka Yahuudah ka dhex sheega, oo Yeruusaalem ka dhex naadiya, oo waxaad tidhaahdaan, War dalka dhexdiisa buunka ku dhufta, oo aad u qayliya, oo waxaad tidhaahdaan, Isa soo urursada, oo ina keena aynu magaalooyinka deyrka leh galnee.

⁶Lift up an ensign Zionward, Strengthen yourselves, stand not still, For evil I am bringing in from the north, And a great destruction.

⁶Calan u taaga xagga Siyoon, carara oo ha joogsanina, waayo, anigu waxaan xagga woqooyi ka keeni doonaa masiibo iyo halligaad weyn.

⁷Gone up hath a lion from his thicket, And a destroyer of nations hath journeyed, He hath come forth from his place To make thy land become a desolation, Thy cities are laid waste, without inhabitant.

⁷Libaax baa ka soo baxay jiqdiisa, quruumo baabbi'iyihiina wuu soo kacay, oo wuxuu meeshiisii uga soo baxay inuu dalkaaga cidlo ka dhigo, oo magaalooyinkaagana waa la baabbi'in doonaa, oo qofna ma degganaan doono.

⁸For this, gird on sackcloth, lament and howl, For the fierce anger of Jehovah hath not turned back from us.

⁸Taas aawadeed dhar joonyad ah guntada, oo baroorta, oo qayliya, waayo, cadhadii Rabbiga oo kululayd nagama noqon.

⁹And it hath come to pass, in that day, An affirmation of Jehovah: `Perish doth the heart of the king, And the heart of the princes, And astonished have been the priests, And the prophets do wonder.`

⁹Oo Rabbigu wuxuu leeyahay, Waxaa maalintaas noqon doona in boqorka qalbigiisa iyo amiirrada qalbigooduba ay kharribmaan, oo wadaaddaduna way yaabi doonaan, oo nebiyaduna way fajici doonaan.

¹⁰And I say, `Ah, Lord Jehovah, Surely thou hast entirely forgotten this people and Jerusalem, saying, Peace is for you, And struck hath a sword unto the soul!`

¹⁰Markaasaan idhi, Sayidow, Rabbiyow, sida xaqiiqada ah dadkan iyo Yeruusaalemba aad iyo aad baad u khiyaanaysay, waayo, iyagoo seefi naftooda soo gaadhaysa ayaad ku tidhaahdaa, Nabad baad helaysaan.

¹¹At that time it is said of this people, And of Jerusalem: `A dry wind of high places in the wilderness,` The way of the daughter of My people, (Not for winnowing, nor for cleansing,)

¹¹Oo wakhtigaas waxaa dadkan iyo Yeruusaalemba lagu odhan doonaa, Dadkayga dabayl kulul ayaa uga iman doonta xagga meelaha dhaadheer ee cidlada ku yaal, mana ahaan doonto mid wax haadinaysa amase wax safaynaysa,

¹²A full wind from these doth come for Me, Now, also, I speak judgments with them.

¹²laakiinse waxay ahaan doontaa dabayl xoog badan oo amarkayga ku imanaysa, oo weliba haatan anigu xukunkoodii waan ku hadli doonaa.

¹³Lo, as clouds he cometh up, And as a hurricane his chariots, Lighter than eagles have been his horses, Wo to us, for we have been spoiled.

¹³Bal eega, isagu wuxuu u iman doonaa sida daruur oo kale, oo gaadhifardoodyadiisuna waxay ahaan doonaan sida dabayl cirwareen ah oo kale, oo fardihiisuna xataa gorgorrada way ka sii dheereeyaan. Annagaa hoognay! Waayo, waannu baabba'nay.

¹⁴Wash from evil thy heart, O Jerusalem, That thou mayest be saved, Till when dost thou lodge in thy heart Thoughts of thy strength?

¹⁴Yeruusaalemay, qalbigaaga xumaanta ka maydh, si aad u badbaaddo aawadeed. Ilaa goormay fikirradaada sharka ahu kugu sii dhex jirayaan?

¹⁵For a voice is declaring from Dan, And sounding sorrow from mount Ephraim.

¹⁵Waayo, xagga Daan cod baa ka yeedhaya, oo buuraha Efrayimna belaayo baa laga naadiyaa.

¹⁶Make ye mention to the nations, Lo, sound ye to Jerusalem: `Besiegers are coming from the land afar off, And they give forth against cities of Judah their voice.

¹⁶Quruumaha u diga oo Yeruusaalem ogeysiiya in ilaallo ay dal fog ka imanayaan, oo ay magaalooyinkii dalka Yahuudah ku qaylinayaan.

¹⁷As the keepers of a field They have been against her round about, For with Me she hath been rebellious, An affirmation of Jehovah.`

¹⁷Rabbigu wuxuu leeyahay, Sida kuwa beer dhawraya ayay hareeraheeda kaga kacsan yihiin, maxaa yeelay, iyadu way igu caasiyowday.

¹⁸Thy way and thy doings have done these to thee, This [is] thy vexation, for [it is] bitter, For it hath struck unto thy heart.

¹⁸Jidkaaga iyo falimahaaga ayaa waxyaalahan kuu keenay, tanu waa belaayadaada, wayna qadhaadh tahay, oo waxay gaadhaysaa xataa ilaa qalbigaaga.

¹⁹My bowels, my bowels! I am pained [at] the walls of my heart, Make a noise for me doth My heart, I am not silent, For the voice of a trumpet I have heard, O my soul — a shout of battle!

¹⁹Calooshaydiiyey, calooshaydiiyey! Aniga qalbigaa i xanuunaya, oo wadnahaa i fig leh. Iskamana aamusi karo, maxaa yeelay, naftaydiiyey, waxaad maqashay buunka dhawaaqiisii iyo qayladii dagaalka.

²⁰Destruction on destruction is proclaimed, For spoiled hath been all the land, Suddenly spoiled have been my tents, In a moment — my curtains.

²⁰Belaayo baa belaayay ku soo kor dhacday, ayaa lagu dhawaaqay, waayo, dalkii oo dhan waa baabba'ay. Teendhooyinkaygii haddiiba way baabbe'een, oo daahyadaydiina daqiiqad qudha ayay dhammaadeen.

²¹Till when do I see an ensign? Do I hear the voice of a trumpet?

²¹Ilaa goormaan calanka arkayaa, oo aan buunka dhawaaqiisa sii maqlayaa?

²²For my people [are] foolish, me they have not known, Foolish sons [are] they, yea, they [are] not intelligent, Wise [are] they to do evil, And to do good they have not known.

²²Waayo, dadkaygu waa nacasyo, oo aniga ima ay yaqaaniin. Iyagu waa carruur caqlidaran, oo innaba waxgarasho ma leh. Inay xumaan sameeyaan way u caqli badan yihiin, laakiinse inay samaan sameeyaan innaba aqoon uma leh.

²³I looked [to] the land, and lo, waste and void, And unto the heavens, and their light is not.

²³Bal eega, dhulkaan fiiriyey, oo waxaan arkay inuusan qaab lahayn oo uu madhan yahay, oo haddana samooyinkaan fiiriyey, oo iyana innaba iftiin ma ay lahayn.

²⁴I have looked [to] the mountains, And lo, they are trembling. And all the hills moved themselves lightly.

²⁴Buurahaan fiiriyey, oo waxaan arkay inay gariirayeen, oo kurihii oo dhammuna way wada dhaqdhaqaaqayeen.

²⁵I have looked, and lo, man is not, And all fowls of the heavens have fled.

²⁵Oo haddana wax baan fiiriyey, oo ninna ma jirin, oo haaddii hawada oo dhammuna way wada carareen.

²⁶I have looked, and lo, The fruitful place [is] a wilderness, And all its cities have been broken down, Because of Jehovah, Because of the fierceness of His anger.

²⁶Oo haddana wax baan fiiriyey, oo waxaan arkay dhulkii midhaha badnaa oo abaaroobay, oo magaalooyinkeedii oo dhammuna Rabbiga hortiisa ayay ku dundunsanaayeen cadhadiisii kululayd daraaddeed.

²⁷For thus said Jehovah: All the land is a desolation, but a completion I make not.

²⁷Waayo, Rabbigu wuxuu leeyahay, Dalka oo dhammu wuu cidloobi doonaa, laakiinse anigu kulligiis wada baabbi'in maayo.

²⁸For this doth the land mourn, And black have been the heavens above, because I have spoken — I have purposed, And I have not repented, Nor do I turn back from it.

²⁸Taas aawadeed dhulku wuu u barooran doonaa, oo samooyinka sarena way u madoobaan doonaan, maxaa yeelay, waxan anigaa ku hadlay, oo anigaa u qastiyey, oo innaba ka qoomamoon maayo, kana soo noqon maayo marnaba.

²⁹From the voice of the horseman, And of him shooting with the bow, all the city is fleeing, They have come into thickets, And on cliffs they have gone up, All the city is forsaken, And there is no one dwelling in them.

²⁹Magaalada oo dhammu waxay ka qixi doontaa qaylada fardoleyda iyo qaansoleyda, oo jiqday ku carari doonaan, dhagaxyada dushoodana way fuuli doonaan, magaalo kastana waa laga tegi doonaa, oo nin qudhuhuna ma degganaan doono.

³⁰And thou, O spoiled one, what dost thou? For thou puttest on scarlet, For thou adornest thyself [with] ornaments of gold. For thou rendest with pain thine eyes, In vain thou dost make thyself fair, Kicked against thee have doting ones, Thy life they do seek.

³⁰Oo markii lagu dhoco bal maxaad samayn doontaa? In kastoo aad dhar guduudan xidhatid, iyo in kastoo aad dahab isku sharraxdid, iyo in kastoo aad indhakuul iska badisidba, waxtarla'aan baad isu qurxinaysaa, waayo, kuwii ku caashaqi jiray way ku wada quudhsadaan, oo waxay doonayaan inay nafta kaa qaadaan.Waayo, waxaan maqlay cod sidii naag foolanaysa, iyo qaylo sidii mid ilmaheedii ugu horreeyey dhalaysa, waana codkii magaalada Siyoon, oo taahaysa, oo gacmaheeda kala fidisa, oo waxay tidhaahdaa, anigaa haatan hoogay! Waayo, naftaydii aad bay ugu daallan tahay gacankudhiiglayaasha aawadood.

³¹For a voice as of a sick woman I have heard, Distress, as of one bringing forth a first-born, The voice of the daughter of Zion, She bewaileth herself, she spreadeth out her hands, `Wo to me now, for weary is my soul of slayers!`

³¹Waayo, waxaan maqlay cod sidii naag foolanaysa, iyo qaylo sidii mid ilmaheedii ugu horreeyey dhalaysa, waana codkii magaalada Siyoon, oo taahaysa, oo gacmaheeda kala fidisa, oo waxay tidhaahdaa, anigaa haatan hoogay! Waayo, naftaydii aad bay ugu daallan tahay gacankudhiiglayaasha aawadood.
