¹Meeshayda aan wax ka dhawro ayaan istaagi doonaa, qalcaddana waan isa saari doonaa, waanan u fiirin doonaa bal waxa uu igula hadli doono, iyo waxa aan uga jawaabi doono cabashadayda.

¹On my charge I stand, and I station myself on a bulwark, and I watch to see what He doth speak against me, and what I do reply to my reproof.

²Oo Rabbigu wuu ii jawaabay, oo wuxuu igu yidhi, Waxa lagu tusay qor, oo looxyo ku caddee, si kii akhristaaba u ordo.

²And Jehovah answereth me and saith: `Write a vision, and explain on the tables, That he may run who is reading it.

³Waayo, wixii lagu tusay waa weli, oo waxay iman doonaan wakhtigii la yidhi, wayna u degdegaan ugudambaysta, oo innaba been ma sheegi doonaan. In kastoo ay raagaan waa inaad sugtaa, maxaa yeelay, sida xaqiiqada ah way noqon doonaan, oo innaba ma raagi doonaan.

³For yet the vision [is] for a season, And it breatheth for the end, and doth not lie, If it tarry, wait for it, For surely it cometh, it is not late.

⁴Bal eega, kan madaxa weynaaday naftiisii way kibirtay, oo ma toosna, laakiinse kii xaq ahu rumaysadkiisa buu ku noolaan doonaa.

⁴Lo, a presumptuous one! Not upright is his soul within him, And the righteous by his stedfastness liveth.

⁵Haah, oo weliba khamrigu wax buu khiyaanaa, oo nin isla weynu gurigiisa kuma xasillo. Wuxuu xiisihiisa u ballaadhiyaa sida She'ool oo kale, oo isagu waa sida geerida oo kale oo innaba lama dherjin karo, laakiinse wuxuu soo urursadaa quruumaha oo dhan, oo wuxuu isu geeystaa dadyowga oo dhan.

⁵And also, because the wine [is] treacherous, A man is haughty, and remaineth not at home, Who hath enlarged as sheol his soul, And is as death that is not satisfied, And doth gather unto itself all the nations, And doth assemble unto itself all the peoples,

⁶Kuwan oo dhammu sow isaga kuma halqabsan doonaan? Oo sow maahmaahyo kuma quudhsan doonaan? Waxay odhan doonaan, Waxaa iska hoogay kan urursada wax uusan isagu lahayn! Bal ilaa goorma? Waxaa iska hoogay kan rahaamado isku rara!

⁶Do not these — all of them — against him a simile taken up, And a moral of acute sayings for him, And say, Wo [to] him who is multiplying [what is] not his? Till when also is he multiplying to himself heavy pledges?

⁷Kuwii ku qaniini lahaa sow haddiiba ma kici doonaan? Oo kuwii ku dhibi lahaa sow ma toosi doonaan? Oo adna booli baad iyaga u noqon doontaa.

⁷Do not thy usurers instantly rise up, And those shaking thee awake up, And thou hast been for a spoil to them?

⁸Quruumo badan baad dhacday, haddaba sidaas daraaddeed dadyowga intooda hadhay oo dhammu aday ku dhici doonaan, taasuna waa dhiiggii dadka daraaddiis, iyo dulmigii lagu sameeyey dalka iyo magaalada iyo inta dhex deggan oo dhanba.

⁸Because thou hast spoiled many nations, Spoil thee do all the remnant of the peoples, Because of man`s blood, and of violence [to] the land, [To] the city, and [to] all dwelling in it.

⁹Waxaa iska hoogay kii faa'iido shar ah reerkiisa u soo urursada si uu buulkiisa uga dhisto meel sare oo uu gacanta sharka uga samatabbaxo!

⁹Wo [to] him who is gaining evil gain for his house, To set on high his nest, To be delivered from the hand of evil,

¹⁰Dadyowga badan oo aad baabbi'isay daraaddood waxaad reerkaagii ugu arrimisay ceeb, oo waxaad ku dembaabtay naftaadii.

¹⁰Thou hast counselled a shameful thing to thy house, To cut off many peoples, and sinful [is] thy soul.

¹¹Waayo, dhagax baa ka qaylin doona derbiga dhexdiisa, oo loox alwaaxda ku dhex jira ayaa u jawaabi doona.

¹¹For a stone from the wall doth cry out, And a holdfast from the wood answereth it.

¹²Waxaa iska hoogay kii magaalo dhiig ku dhisa, oo magaalo xumaan ku adkeeya!

¹²Wo [to] him who is building a city by blood, And establishing a city by iniquity.

¹³Bal eeg in dadku ay dabka aawadiis u hawshoodaan, oo quruumuhuna ay waxtarla'aan isu daaliyaan sow ma aha mid Rabbiga ciidammada xaggiisa ka timid?

¹³Lo, is it not from Jehovah of Hosts And peoples are fatigued for fire, And nations for vanity are weary?

¹⁴Waayo, sida biyuhu badda u daboolaan oo kale ayaa dhulka waxaa ka buuxsami doona aqoonta sharafta Rabbiga.

¹⁴For full is the earth of the knowledge of the honour of Jehovah, As waters cover [the bottom of] a sea.

¹⁵Waxaa iska hoogay kaaga deriskiisa khamri cabsiiya, oo cadho ugu shuba, oo weliba u sakhraamiya si uu cawradooda u fiirsada aawadeed!

¹⁵Wo [to] him who is giving drink to his neighbour, Pouring out thy bottle, and also making drunk, In order to look on their nakedness.

¹⁶Adigu intaad sharaf heli lahayd waxaa ka buuxsantay ceeb, oo weliba adiguna khamri cab, oo waxaad noqotaa sida mid buuryaqab ah. Rabbiga gacantiisa midig koobka ku jira adiguu kugu soo rogman doonaa, oo sharaftaadana waxaa ku dhici doonta ceeb xun.

¹⁶Thou hast been filled — shame without honour, Drink thou also, and be uncircumcised, Turn round unto thee doth the cup of the right hand of Jehovah, And shameful spewing [is] on thine honour.

¹⁷Waayo, waxaa ku dabooli doona dulmigii Lubnaan lagu sameeyey, iyo halligaaddii ku dhacday xayawaankii iyaga ka cabsiiyey, taasuna waa dhiiggii dadka daraaddiis, iyo dulmigii lagu sameeyey dalka iyo magaalada iyo inta dhex deggan oo dhanba.

¹⁷For violence [to] Lebanon doth cover thee, And spoil of beasts doth affright them, Because of man`s blood, and of violence [to] the land, [To] the city, and [to] all dwelling in it.

¹⁸Bal muxuu taraa sanamka xardhan, oo muxuu kii sameeyey u xardhay? Oo muxuu taraa sanamka la shubay oo ah macallinka beenta bara, oo kii sameeyey muxuu haddana isugu halleeyaa, waayo, waa sanamyo carrab la'.

¹⁸What profit hath a graven image given That its former hath graven it? A molten image and teacher of falsehood, That trusted hath the former on his own formation — to make dumb idols?

¹⁹Waxaa iska hoogay kii qoriga ku yidhaahda, Toos! oo dhagax carrab la' ku yidhaahda, Sara joogso! Kanu miyuu wax bari doonaa? Bal eega, waxaa lagu dahaadhay dahab iyo lacag, laakiinse innaba neefu kuma jirto.Laakiinse Rabbigu waa ku jiraa macbudkiisa quduuska ah, haddaba inta dhulka joogta oo dhammu ha ku hor aamuseen.

¹⁹Wo [to] him who is saying to wood, `Awake,` `Stir up,` to a dumb stone, It a teacher! lo, it is overlaid — gold and silver, And there is no spirit in its midst.

²⁰Laakiinse Rabbigu waa ku jiraa macbudkiisa quduuska ah, haddaba inta dhulka joogta oo dhammu ha ku hor aamuseen.

²⁰And Jehovah [is] in His holy temple, Be silent before Him, all the earth!
