¹Oo isna wuxuu igu yidhi, Wiilka Aadamow, bal istaag, waan kula hadlayaaye.

¹It [is] the appearance of the likeness of the honour of Jehovah, and I see, and fall on my face, and I hear a voice speaking, and He saith unto me, `Son of man, stand on thy feet, and I speak with thee.`

²Oo markuu ila hadlay ayaa ruuxii i soo galay, oo cagahayguu igu taagay, waanan maqlay kii ila hadlay.

²And there doth come into me a spirit, when He hath spoken unto me, and it causeth me to stand on my feet, and I hear Him who is speaking unto me.

³Oo isaguna wuxuu igu yidhi, Wiilka Aadamow, waxaan kuu dirayaa reer binu Israa'iil oo ah dad caasiyiin ah oo iga caasiyoobay. Ilaa maantadan iyaga iyo awowayaashoodba way igu xadgudbayeen.

³And He saith unto Me, `Son of man, I am sending thee unto the sons of Israel, unto nations who are rebels, who have rebelled against Me; they and their fathers have transgressed against Me, unto this self-same day.

⁴Iyagu waa dad weji adag oo qalbi qallafsan. Iyagaan kuu dirayaa, waxaanad ku tidhaahdaa, Sayidka Rabbiga ahu wax buu idinku leeyahay.

⁴And the sons [are] brazen-faced and hard-hearted to whom I am sending thee, and thou hast said unto them: Thus said the Lord Jehovah:

⁵Oo iyagu hadday maqlaan iyo hadday diidaanba, weli way ogaan doonaan in nebi iyaga dhex joogay (waayo, iyagu waxa weeye reer caasiyoobay).

⁵and they — whether they hear, or whether they forbear, for a rebellious house they [are] — have known that a prophet hath been in their midst.

⁶Wiilka Aadamow, iyaga ha ka baqin, erayadoodana ha ka baqin, in kastoo yamaarug iyo qodxan ay kugu wareegsan yihiin oo aad hangarallayaal dhex deggan tahay, erayadooda ha ka cabsan oo aragtidooda ha ka baqin, waayo, iyagu waa reer caasiyoobay.

⁶`And thou, son of man, thou art not afraid of them, yea, of their words thou art not afraid, for briers and thorns are with thee, and near scorpions thou art dwelling, of their words thou art not afraid, and of their faces thou art not affrighted, for they [are] a rebellious house,

⁷Oo adigu waa inaad erayadayda iyaga u sheegtaa, hadday maqlaan iyo hadday diidaanba, waayo, iyagu waa kuwa aad iyo aad u caasiyoobay.

⁷And thou hast spoken My words unto them, whether they hear or whether they forbear, for they [are] rebellious.

⁸Laakiinse adigu, Wiilka Aadamow, waxaan kugu idhaahdo maqal, oo caasi ha noqon sida reerkaas caasiyoobay oo kale. Afkaaga kala qaad oo waxaan ku siiyo cun.

⁸`And thou, son of man, hear that which I am speaking unto thee: Thou art not rebellious like the rebellious house, open thy mouth, and eat that which I am giving unto thee.`

⁹Oo intaan wax fiirinayay waxaan arkay gacan la ii soo diray, oo bal eeg, waxaa ku jiray qorniin duudduuban.Oo isna hortayduu ku kala bixiyey, oo dusha iyo hoostaba wax baa kaga qornaa, oo waxaa ku qornaa baroorasho iyo oohin iyo hoog.

⁹And I look, and lo, a hand [is] sent forth unto me, and lo, in it a roll of a book,

¹⁰Oo isna hortayduu ku kala bixiyey, oo dusha iyo hoostaba wax baa kaga qornaa, oo waxaa ku qornaa baroorasho iyo oohin iyo hoog.

¹⁰and He spreadeth it before me, and it is written in front and behind, and written on it [are] lamentations, and mourning, and wo!
