¹Oo haddana Eraygii Rabbiga ayaa ii yimid isagoo leh,

¹`And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying:

²Maxaad ula jeeddaan markaad maahmaahdan dalka reer binu Israa'iil ugu maahmaahdaan, idinkoo leh, Aabbayaashu waxay cuneen canab dhanaan, oo carruurta ilkahoodiina way saliilyoodeen?

²`What — to you, ye — using this simile Concerning the ground of Israel, saying: Fathers do eat unripe fruit, And the sons` teeth are blunted?

³Sayidka Rabbiga ahu wuxuu leeyahay, Noloshaydaan ku dhaartaye inaydaan mar dambe maahmaahdan dalka reer binu Israa'iil kaga dhex maahmaahi doonin.

³I live — an affirmation of the Lord Jehovah, Ye have no more the use of this simile in Israel.

⁴Bal eega, nafaha oo dhan anigaa iska leh, oo sida nafta aabbuhu ay taydii u tahay ayaa tan wiilkuna ay taydii u tahay, haddaba naftii dembaabtaa way dhiman doontaa.

⁴Lo, all the souls are Mine, As the soul of the father, So also the soul of the son — they are Mine, The soul that is sinning — it doth die.

⁵Laakiinse haddii nin xaq yahay oo uu waxa xaqa ah oo qumman sameeyo,

⁵And a man, when he is righteous, And hath done judgment and righteousness,

⁶oo uusan buuraha wax ku cunin, ama uusan indhihiisa sanamyada reer binu Israa'iil kor ugu taagin, ama uusan naagta deriskiisa nijaasayn, ama uusan naag xayl qabta u dhowaan,

⁶On the mountains he hath not eaten, And his eyes he hath not lifted up Unto idols of the house of Israel, And the wife of his neighbour defiled not, And to a separated woman cometh not near,

⁷oo uusan cidna dulmin, laakiinse uu kii wax ka deyntay rahaamaddiisii u celiyey, oo uusan waxba xoog ku boobin, oo uu cuntadiisiina mid gaajaysan siiyey, oo uu kii qaawanna dhar huwiyey,

⁷A man — he doth not oppress, His pledge to the debtor he doth return, Plunder he doth not take away, His bread to the hungry he doth give, And the naked doth cover with a garment,

⁸ama uusan korsaar wax ku bixin, oo uusan ribo cidna ka qaadan, oo uu yahay mid gacantiisa xumaanta dib uga celiya, oo si caddaalad ah ugu garsooray nin iyo nin kale,

⁸In usury he doth not give, and increase taketh not, From perversity he turneth back his hand, True judgment he doth between man and man.

⁹oo uu qaynuunnadayda ku socday, oo uu xukummadayda u xajiyey si uu wax qumman u sameeyo, kaasu waa xaq, oo hubaal wuu noolaan doonaa, ayaa Sayidka Rabbiga ahu leeyahay.

⁹In My statutes he doth walk, And My judgments he hath kept — to deal truly, Righteous [is] he, he surely liveth, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah.

¹⁰Oo ninkaasu hadduu dhalo wiil tuug ah, oo gacankudhiigle ah, amase wax waxyaalahaas la mid ah sameeya,

¹⁰And — he hath begotten a son, A burglar — a shedder of blood, And he hath made a brother of one of these,

¹¹oo uusan waxyaalaha waajibka ku ah samayn, laakiinse uu buuraha wax ku cunay, oo uu naagtii deriskiisana nijaaseeyey,

¹¹And he all those hath not done, For even on the mountains he hath eaten, And the wife of his neighbour he hath defiled,

¹²oo uu miskiinka iyo saboolka baahan dulmay, oo uu xoog wax ku boobay, oo uusan cidna rahaamad u celin, oo uu indhihiisana sanamyada kor ugu taagay, oo uu wax karaahiya ah sameeyey,

¹²The afflicted and needy he hath oppressed, Plunder he hath taken violently away, A pledge he doth not return, And unto the idols he hath lifted up his eyes, Abomination he hath done!

¹³oo uu korsaar wax ku bixiyey, oo uu cid kale ribo ka qaatay, kaasu miyuu noolaanayaa? Isagu noolaan maayo, waayo, waxyaalahaas karaahiyada ah oo dhan ayuu sameeyey, hubaal wuu dhiman doonaa, oo dhiiggiisuna isaguu dul saarnaan doonaa.

¹³In usury he hath given, and increase taken, And he liveth: he doth not live, All these abominations he hath done, He doth surely die, his blood is on him.

¹⁴Haddaba bal eeg, kaasu hadduu dhalo wiil dembigii aabbihiis sameeyey oo dhan arka, oo uu markaas cabsado, oo aan waxaas oo kale samayn,

¹⁴And — lo, he hath begotten a son, And he seeth all the sins of his father, That he hath done, and he feareth, And doth not do like them,

¹⁵oo uusan buuraha wax ku cunin, ama uusan indhihiisa sanamyada reer binu Israa'iil kor ugu taagin, oo uusan naagta deriskiisa nijaasayn,

¹⁵On the mountains he hath not eaten, And his eyes he hath not lifted up Unto idols of the house of Israel, The wife of his neighbour he hath not defiled,

¹⁶ama uusan cidnaba dulmin, oo uusan rahaamadda qaadan, oo uusan waxba xoog ku boobin, laakiinse uu cuntadiisa kii gaajaysan siiyey, oo kii qaawanna dhar huwiyey,

¹⁶A man — he hath not oppressed, A pledge he hath not bound, And plunder he hath not taken away, His bread to the hungry he hath given, And the naked he covered with a garment,

¹⁷oo uu gacantiisana masaakiinta dib uga celiyey, oo uusan korsaar amase ribo cidna ka qaadan, oo uu xukummadayda sameeyey, oo uu qaynuunnadayda ku socday, kaasu xumaantii aabbihiis sameeyey aawadeed uma dhiman doono, hubaalse wuu noolaan doonaa.

¹⁷From the afflicted he hath turned back his hand, Usury and increase he hath not taken, My judgments he hath done, In My statutes he hath walked, He doth not die for the iniquity of his father, He doth surely live.

¹⁸Laakiinse aabbihiis xumaantiisuu ku dhex dhiman doonaa, maxaa yeelay, isagu si nac weyn ayuu wax u dulmay, oo walaalkiisna xoog buu wax kaga boobay, oo dadkiisana wax aan wanaagsanayn buu ku dhex sameeyey.

¹⁸His father — because he used oppression, Did violently Plunder a brother, And that which [is] not good did in the midst of his people, And lo, he is dying in his iniquity.

¹⁹Laakiinse idinku waxaad tidhaahdaan, Wiilku muxuu u qaadan waayaa xumaantii aabbihiis? Wiilku hadduu sameeyo waxa xaqa ah oo qumman, oo uu qaynuunnadayda oo dhan xajiyey, oo uu wada sameeyey, hubaal wuu noolaan doonaa.

¹⁹And ye have said, Wherefore hath not the son, Borne of the iniquity of the father? And — the son judgment and righteousness hath done, All My statutes he hath kept, And he doeth them, he surely liveth.

²⁰Nafta dembaabtaa way dhiman doontaa. Wiilku ma uu qaadan doono xumaanta aabbaha, aabbuhuna ma uu qaadan doono xumaanta wiilka. Ka xaqa ah xaqnimadiisaa dul saarnaan doonta, oo ka sharka lehna sharnimadiisaa dul saarnaan doonta.

²⁰The soul that doth sin — it doth die. A son doth not bear of the iniquity of the father, And a father doth not bear of the iniquity of the son, The righteousness of the righteous is on him, And the wickedness of the wicked is on him.

²¹Laakiinse ka sharka lihi hadduu dembiyadiisii uu sameeyey oo dhan ka soo noqdo, oo uu qaynuunnadayda oo dhan wada xajiyo, oo uu waxa xaqa ah oo qumman sameeyo, hubaal kaasu wuu noolaan doonaa, mana dhiman doono.

²¹And the wicked — when he turneth back From all his sins that he hath done, And he hath kept all My statutes, And hath done judgment and righteousness, He doth surely live, he doth not die.

²²Oo xadgudubyadiisii uu sameeyey oo dhan midna looma soo xusuusan doono. Wuxuu ku noolaan doonaa xaqnimadiisii uu sameeyey.

²²All his transgressions that he hath done Are not remembered to him, In his righteousness that he hath done he liveth.

²³Sayidka Rabbiga ahu wuxuu leeyahay, Anigu miyaan innaba sharrowga dhimashadiisa ku farxaa? Sowse kama aan jecli inuu jidkiisa ka soo noqdo oo uu noolaado?

²³Do I at all desire the death of the wicked? An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah, Is it not in his turning back from his way — And he hath lived?

²⁴Laakiinse ka xaqa ahu hadduu xaqnimadiisa ka leexdo, oo uu xumaan sameeyo, oo uu wada sameeyo waxyaalaha karaahiyada ah ee uu sharrowgu sameeyo oo dhan, markaas miyuu sii noolaan doonaa? Waxyaalihii xaqa ahaa ee uu sameeyey oo dhan innaba lama soo xusuusan doono, oo wuxuu ku dhex dhiman doonaa xadgudubkiisii uu xadgudbay, iyo dembigiisii uu dembaabay.

²⁴And in the turning back of the righteous from his righteousness, And he hath done perversity, According to all the abominations That the wicked hath done, he doth — thus he liveth, All his righteousnesses that he hath done are not remembered, For his trespass that he hath trespassed, And for his sin that he hath sinned, For them he doth die.

²⁵Laakiinse idinku waxaad tidhaahdaan, Sayidka jidkiisu ma qummana, haddaba reer binu Israa'iilow, bal i maqla. Sow jidkaygu ma qummana? Sow jidadkiinnu ma aha kuwa aan qummanaynu?

²⁵And ye have said, Not pondered is the way of the Lord. Hear, I pray you, O house of Israel, My way — is it not pondered? Are not your ways unpondered?

²⁶Marka ka xaqa ahu uu xaqnimadiisa ka leexdo, oo uu xumaan sameeyo, oo uu taas ku dhinto, wuxuu ku dhiman doonaa xumaantii uu sameeyey.

²⁶In the turning back of the righteous from his righteousness, And he hath done perversity, And he is dying by them, for his perversity That he hath done he dieth.

²⁷Haddaba sharrowgu markuu sharnimadiisii uu sameeyey ka soo noqdo, oo uu waxa xaqa ah ee qumman sameeyo, markaasuu naftiisa badbaadin doonaa.

²⁷And in the turning back of the wicked From his wickedness that he hath done, And he doth judgment and righteousness, He his soul doth keep alive.

²⁸Isagu wuu fiirsadaa, oo xadgudubyadiisii uu sameeyey oo dhan wuu ka soo noqdaa, oo sidaas aawadeed hubaal wuu noolaan doonaa, mana dhiman doono.

²⁸And he seeth and turneth back, From all his transgressions that he hath done, He doth surely live, he doth not die,

²⁹Laakiinse reer binu Israa'iil waxay yidhaahdaan, Sayidka jidkiisu ma qummana. Reer binu Israa'iilow, sow jidadkaygu ma qummana? Sow jidadkiinnu ma aha kuwa aan qummanaynu?

²⁹And the house of Israel have said, Not pondered is the way of the Lord, My ways — are they not pondered? O house of Israel — are not your ways unpondered?

³⁰Sidaas daraaddeed Sayidka Rabbiga ahu wuxuu leeyahay, Reer binu Israa'iilow, anigu midkiin kastaba waxaan u xukumi doonaa siday jidadkiisu ahaayeen. Haddaba soo noqda, oo xadgudubyadiinnii oo dhan ka soo noqda, si ayan xumaantu halligaaddiinnii u noqon.

³⁰Therefore, each according to his ways I judge you, O house of Israel? An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah, Turn ye back, yea, turn yourselves back, From all your transgressions, And iniquity is not to you for a stumbling-block,

³¹Xadgudubyadiinnii aad xadgudubteen oo dhan iska xoora, oo waxaad yeelataan qalbi cusub iyo ruux cusub, waayo, reer binu Israa'iilow, bal maxaad u dhimanaysaan?Waayo, Sayidka Rabbiga ahu wuxuu leeyahay, Anigu innaba kii dhinta dhimashadiisa kuma farxo, haddaba soo noqda oo noolaada.

³¹Cast from off you all your transgressions, By which ye have transgressed, And make to you a new heart, and a new spirit, And why do ye die, O house of Israel?

³²Waayo, Sayidka Rabbiga ahu wuxuu leeyahay, Anigu innaba kii dhinta dhimashadiisa kuma farxo, haddaba soo noqda oo noolaada.

³²For I have no pleasure in the death of the dying, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah, And turn ye back and live!
