¹Hear, I pray you, that which Jehovah is saying: `Rise — strive thou with the mountains, And cause thou the hills to hear thy voice.`

¹Haddaba maqla waxa Rabbigu leeyahay, Sara joogsada, dacwaddiinna buuraha ku hor sheegta, oo kuruhuna codkiinna ha maqleen.

²Hear, O mountains, the strife of Jehovah, Ye strong ones — foundations of earth! For a strife [is] to Jehovah, with His people, And with Israel He doth reason.

²Buuraha iyo dhulka aasaasyadiisa warayow, Rabbiga dacwaddiisa maqla, waayo, Rabbigu dacwad buu la leeyahay dadkiisa, oo wuxuu la muddici doonaa dadka Israa'iil.

³O My people, what have I done to thee? And what — have I wearied thee? Testify against Me.

³Dadkaygiiyow, bal maxaan idinku sameeyey? Maxaanse idinku daaliyey? Haddaba bal igu markhaatifura.

⁴For I brought thee up from the land of Egypt, And from the house of servants I have ransomed thee, And I send before thee Moses, Aaron, and Miriam.

⁴Waayo, dalkii Masar waan idinka soo bixiyey, oo guriga addoonsiga waan idinka soo furtay, oo waxaan idin hor mariyey Muuse, iyo Haaruun iyo Maryan.

⁵O My people, remember, I pray you, What counsel did Balak king of Moab, What answer him did Balaam son of Beor, (From Shittim unto Gilgal,) In order to know the righteous acts of Jehovah.`

⁵Dadkaygiiyow, bal haatan soo xusuusta wixii uu Baalaaq oo ahaa boqorkii Moo'aab ku tashaday, iyo wixii u Balcaam ina Becoor ugu jawaabay, bal soo xusuusta wixii dhacay tan iyo Shitiim iyo ilaa Gilgaal, si aad ku ogaataan falimaha xaqa ah ee Rabbiga.

⁶With what do I come before Jehovah? Do I bow to God Most High? Do I come before Him with burnt-offerings? With calves — sons of a year?

⁶Bal maxaan Rabbiga hortiisa la imaadaa? Oo sidee baan Ilaaha sare ugu hor sujuudaa? Ma qurbaanno la gubo baan Rabbiga hortiisa la imaadaa? Ma weylo gu jira baan la imaadaa?

⁷Is Jehovah pleased with thousands of rams? With myriads of streams of oil? Do I give my first-born [for] my transgression? The fruit of my body [for] the sin of my soul?

⁷Rabbigu ma ku farxaa kumanyaal wanan, amase toban kun oo webi oo saliid ah? Xadgudubkayga aawadiis miyaan curadkayga u bixiyaa? Dembigii naftaydase ma midhaha jidhkaygaan u bixiyaa?

⁸He hath declared to thee, O man, what [is] good; Yea, what is Jehovah requiring of thee, Except — to do judgment, and love kindness, And lowly to walk with thy God?

⁸Nin yahow, Rabbigu wuxuu ku tusay waxa wanaagsan. Oo bal maxaa Rabbigu kaa doonayaa, inaad caddaaladda samaysid, oo aad naxariista jeclaatid, oo aad si hoosaysa Ilaahaaga ula socotid mooyaane?

⁹A voice of Jehovah to the city calleth, And wisdom doth fear Thy name, Hear ye the rod, and Him who appointed it.

⁹Codkii Rabbigu magaalada buu u qaylinayaa, oo ninkii xigmad lahu magacaaga buu ka cabsan doonaa. Idinku usha maqla iyo kan soo dirayba.

¹⁰Are there yet [in] the house of the wicked Treasures of wickedness, And the abhorred scanty ephah?

¹⁰Guriga sharowga weli miyey yaalliin khasnadihii sharnimadu iyo weliba qiyaastii dhimanayd oo karaahiyada ahayd?

¹¹Do I reckon [it] pure with balances of wickedness? And with a bag of deceitful stones?

¹¹Miyaan daahir ahaanayaa anoo haysta kafado xun iyo kolay miisaanno khiyaano miidhan ah?

¹²Whose rich ones have been full of violence, And its inhabitants have spoken falsehood, And their tongue [is] deceitful in their mouth.

¹²Waayo, dadkeeda taajiriinta ahu waa dulmi miidhan, oo kuweeda degganuna been bay ku hadlaan, oo carrabka afkooduna waa khiyaano miidhan.

¹³And I also, I have begun to smite thee, To make desolate, because of thy sins.

¹³Haddaba sidaas daraaddeed dhaawac aad u xun baan idinku dhuftay, oo dembigiinna aawadiis cidla baan idinka dhigay.

¹⁴Thou — thou eatest, and thou art not satisfied, And thy pit [is] in thy midst, And thou removest, and dost not deliver, And that which thou deliverest, to a sword I give.

¹⁴Wax baad cuni doontaan mase dhergi doontaan. Gaajadiinnu dhexdiinnay ku jiri doontaa. Wax baad kaydin doontaan, laakiinse sinaba uma aad nabad gelin doontaan, oo wixii aad nabadgelisaanna seef baan u gacangelinayaa.

¹⁵Thou — thou sowest, and thou dost not reap, Thou — thou treadest the olive, And thou pourest not out oil, And new wine — and thou drinkest not wine.

¹⁵Wax baad beeran doontaan mase goosan doontaan, oo saytuunka waad tuman doontaan laakiinse saliiddiisa kuma subkan doontaan, oo canabkana waad tuman doontaan laakiinse khamrigiisa ma cabbi doontaan.Waayo, qaynuunnadii Boqor Coomrii iyo shuqulladii reer Boqor Axaab oo dhanba waad dhawrteen, oo waxaad ku socotaan talooyinkoodii, si aan cidla laga yaabo idiinka dhigo, oo dadka magaaladiinna degganna waxaan ka dhigi doonaa wax lagu foodhyo, oo idinku waxaad qaadan doontaan cayda dadkayga.

¹⁶And kept habitually are the statutes of Omri, And all the work of the house of Ahab, And ye do walk in their counsels, For My giving thee for a desolation, And its inhabitants for a hissing, And the reproach of My people ye do bear!

¹⁶Waayo, qaynuunnadii Boqor Coomrii iyo shuqulladii reer Boqor Axaab oo dhanba waad dhawrteen, oo waxaad ku socotaan talooyinkoodii, si aan cidla laga yaabo idiinka dhigo, oo dadka magaaladiinna degganna waxaan ka dhigi doonaa wax lagu foodhyo, oo idinku waxaad qaadan doontaan cayda dadkayga.
