¹Now gather thyself together, O daughter of troops, A siege he hath laid against us, With a rod they smite on the cheek the judge of Israel.

¹Ciidammadoy, hadda waa inaad isa soo urursataan. Isagu waa inoo hareereeyey. Xaakinka dalka Israa'iil ul bay dhabanka kaga dhufan doonaan.

²And thou, Beth-Lehem Ephratah, Little to be among the chiefs of Judah! From thee to Me he cometh forth — to be ruler in Israel, And his comings forth [are] of old, From the days of antiquity.

²Laakiinse adigu Beytlaxam Efraataahay in kastoo aad ku yar tahay kumanyaalka reer Yahuudah, waxaa adiga iiga kaa soo bixi doona mid dalka Israa'iil taliye ka noqon doona, kaasoo bixitinkiisu ahaa waa hore, iyo tan iyo weligiis.

³Therefore he doth give them out till the time She who bringeth forth hath brought forth, And the remnant of his brethren return to the sons of Israel.

³Haddaba sidaas daraaddeed iyaguu gacangelin doonaa jeeray tan foolanaysa umusho, dabadeedna kuwa walaalihiis ka hadhay waxay ku noqon doonaan dadka Israa'iil.

⁴And he hath stood and delighted in the strength of Jehovah, In the excellency of the name of Jehovah his God, And they have remained, For now he is great unto the ends of earth.

⁴Oo isagu wuu istaagi doonaa, oo wuxuu adhigiisa ku daajin doonaa xoogga Rabbiga iyo haybadda magaca Rabbiga Ilaahiisa ah, oo iyana ammaan bay ku joogi doonaan, waayo, isagu haatan mid weyn buu ku ahaan doonaa tan iyo dhulka darfihiisa.

⁵And this [one] hath been peace, Asshur! when he doth come into our land, And when he doth tread in our palaces, We have raised against him seven shepherds, And eight anointed of man.

⁵Oo kanu wuxuu noqon doonaa nabaddeenna.

⁶And they have afflicted the land of Asshur with the sword, And the land of Nimrod at its openings, And he hath delivered from Asshur when he doth come into our land, And when he treadeth in our borders.

⁶Oo dalka Ashuur seef baa lagu dumin doonaa, oo dalka reer Nimrod waa laga dumin doonaa irdaha laga galo, oo isagu wuxuu inaga samatabbixin doonaa kan reer Ashuur markuu dalkeenna soo galo iyo markuu soohdinteenna dhex maro.

⁷And the remnant of Jacob hath been in the midst of many peoples, As dew from Jehovah — as showers on the herb, That waiteth not for man, nor stayeth for the sons of men.

⁷Oo kuwa reer Yacquub ka hadhayna waxay dadyow badan ku dhex ahaan doonaan sidii sayax xagga Rabbiga ka yimid, iyo sidii shuxshux caws ku kor da'ay, kaasoo aan ninna dhawrin, oo aan binu-aadmiga sugin.

⁸Yea, the remnant of Jacob hath been among nations, In the midst of many peoples, As a lion among beasts of a forest, As a young lion among ranks of a flock, Which if it hath passed through, Hath both trodden down and hath torn, And there is no deliverer.

⁸Oo kuwa reer Yacquub ka hadhayna waxay quruumaha dhexdooda iyo dadyow badan dhexbadhtankooda joogi doonaan sidii libaax ku dhex jira xayawaanka kaynta, iyo sidii aaran libaax oo ku dhex jira ido foof ah, kaasoo markuu dhex maraaba ku tunta oo kala jeexjeexda, oo weliba aan la arag mid ka samatabbixiya.

⁹High is thy hand above thine adversaries, And all thine enemies are cut off.

⁹Gacantiinnu ha ka sarrayso cadaawayaashiinna, oo colkiinna oo dhanna ha wada baabbo'o.

¹⁰And it hath come to pass in that day, An affirmation of Jehovah, I have cut off thy horses from thy midst, And I have destroyed thy chariots,

¹⁰Oo Rabbigu wuxuu leeyahay, Wakhtigaas fardihiinna waan idinka dhex baabbi'in doonaa, oo gaadhifardoodkiinnana waan wada jejebin doonaa.

¹¹And I have cut off the cities of thy land, And I have thrown down all thy fortresses,

¹¹Oo magaalooyinka dalkiinna waan baabbi'in doonaa, oo qalcadihiinnana waan wada dumin doonaa.

¹²And have cut off sorcerers out of thy hand, And observers of clouds thou hast none.

¹²Oo gacantiinnana sixir waan ka baabbi'in doonaa, oo mar dambena ma lahaan doontaan faaliyayaal.

¹³And I have cut off thy graven images, And thy standing-pillars out of thy midst, And thou dost not bow thyself any more To the work of thy hands.

¹³Oo waxaan dhexdiinna ka baabbi'in doonaa taswiirahiinna xardhan iyo tiirarkiinna, oo mar dambe ma aad caabudi doontaan sancada gacmihiinna.

¹⁴And I have plucked up thy shrines out of thy midst, And I have destroyed thine enemies.

¹⁴Oo dhexbadhtankiinna waan ka rujin doonaa geedihiinna Asheeraah ah, oo magaalooyinkiinnana waan wada dumin doonaa.Oo quruumihii aan i dhegaysan waxaan kaga aargoosan doonaa xanaaq iyo cadho.

¹⁵And I have done vengeance in anger and in fury, With the nations who have not hearkened!

¹⁵Oo quruumihii aan i dhegaysan waxaan kaga aargoosan doonaa xanaaq iyo cadho.
