¹Hoog waxaa leh kuwa amarro aan xaq ahayn soo saara, iyo kuwa wax qalloocan qora,

¹Wo [to] those decreeing decrees of iniquity, And writers who have prescribed perverseness.

²inay kuwa baahan garta ka qalloociyaan oo ay masaakiinta dadkaygana xaqooda ka qaadaan, oo ay carmallada ka dhigaan waxa ay dhacaan agoontana waxa ay ugaadhsadaan.

²To turn aside from judgment the poor, And to take violently away the judgment Of the afflicted of My people, That widows may be their prey, That the fatherless they may spoil.

³Oo bal maxaad samayn doontaan maalinta ciqaabta, iyo wakhtiga baabbi'intu meesha fog ka iman doonto? Bal yaad u magan geli doontaan? Sharaftiinnana xaggee baad kaga tegi doontaan?

³And what do ye at a day of inspection? And at desolation? — from afar it cometh. Near whom do ye flee for help? And where do ye leave your honour?

⁴Waxay ku dhex foororsan doonaan maxaabiista, oo waxay ku dhex dhici doonaan kuwa la layn doono. Hase ahaatee cadhadiisa kama uu sii jeedin, laakiinse gacantiisii weli way fidsan tahay.

⁴Without Me it hath bowed down In the place of a bound one, And in the place of the slain they fall. With all this not turned back hath His anger, And still His hand is stretched out.

⁵Hoog waxaa leh ka reer Ashuur oo ah ushii cadhadayda iyo hangoolka dhirifkaygu gacanta ugu jiro.

⁵Wo [to] Asshur, a rod of Mine anger, And a staff in their hand [is] Mine indignation.

⁶Isagaan u diri doonaa inuu quruun cibaadalaawayaal ah ku kaco, oo waxaan ku amri doonaa amar ka gees ah dadka aan u cadhooday, inuu maalkooda dhaco, oo uu maxaabiis kexeeyo, oo uu iyaga ugu tunto sida dhoobada jidadka dhex taal.

⁶Against a profane nation I send him, And concerning a people of My wrath I charge him, To spoil spoil, and to seize prey, And to make it a treading-place as the clay of out places.

⁷Habase ahaatee isagu saas kuma talo jiro, oo qalbigiisuna saas kuma fikiro, laakiinse waxaa qalbigiisa ku jira inuu baabbi'iyo oo jaro quruumo aan yarayn.

⁷And he — he thinketh not so, And his heart reckoneth not so, For — to destroy [is] in his heart, And to cut off nations not a few.

⁸Waayo, isagu wuxuu leeyahay, Amiirradaydu dhammaantood sow boqorro ma aha?

⁸For he saith, `Are not my princes altogether kings?

⁹Kalnoo sow ma aha sida Karkemiish? Xamadna sow ma aha sida Arfaad? Samaariyana sow ma aha sida Dimishaq oo kale?

⁹Is not Calno as Carchemish? Is not Hamath as Arpad? Is not Samaria as Damascus?

¹⁰Sidii ay gacantaydu u gaadhay boqortooyooyinkii sanamyada, oo ay taswiirahoodii la xardhay ka sii badnayeen kuwa Yeruusaalem iyo Samaariya,

¹⁰As my hand hath got to the kingdoms of a worthless thing, and their graven images, [Greater] than Jerusalem and than Samaria,

¹¹iyo sidii aan Samaariya iyo sanamyadeedii ku sameeyey oo kale, miyaanan Yeruusaalem iyo sanamyadeedaba ku samayn doonin?

¹¹Do I not — as I have done to Samaria, And to her worthless things, So do to Jerusalem and to her grievous things?

¹²Sidaas daraaddeed markii Sayidku shuqulkiisa oo dhan ku dhammaystiro Buur Siyoon iyo Yeruusaalem, wuxuu odhan doonaa, Boqorka Ashuur ayaan u ciqaabi doonaa midhaha qalbigiisa isla weyn iyo faanka indhihiisa kibrayba.

¹²And it hath come to pass, When the Lord doth fulfil all His work In mount Zion and in Jerusalem, I see concerning the fruit of the greatness Of the heart of the king of Asshur. And concerning the glory of the height of his eyes.

¹³Waayo, isagu wuxuu yidhi, Tan waxaan ku sameeyey xoogga gacantayda iyo xigmaddayda, maxaa yeelay, miyir baan leeyahay, oo waxaan durkiyey dadyowga soohdintooda, khasnadahoodiina waan dhacay, oo sidii nin geesi ah oo kale ayaan kuwii carshiyada ku fadhiyey u soo dejiyey.

¹³For he hath said, `By the power of my hand I have wrought, And by my wisdom, for I have been intelligent, And I remove borders of the peoples, And their chief ones I have spoiled, And I put down as a mighty one the inhabitants,

¹⁴Oo gacantayduna waxay maalkii dadka u heshay sidii buul shimbireed oo kale, oo sida loo soo ururiyo ukumo laga tegey ayaan u soo ururiyey dhulka oo dhan, oo lamana arag mid baal dhaqaajiyey, ama afka kala qaaday, amase ciyey.

¹⁴And my hand as to a nest Getteth to the wealth of the peoples, And as a gathering of forsaken eggs All the earth I — I have gathered, And there hath not been one moving wing, Or opening mouth, or whispering.`

¹⁵Miyuu faasku ka faanaa kan isaga wax ku gooya? Minshaartuna miyey iska sii weynaysaa kan iyada ku shaqeeya? Waa sida haddii ulu iska gilgisho kuwa iyada kor u qaada, amase sida hangool kor u qaada kan aan qori ahayn?

¹⁵— Doth the axe glorify itself Against him who is hewing with it? Doth the saw magnify itself Against him who is shaking it? As a rod waving those lifting it up! As a staff lifting up that which is not wood!

¹⁶Haddaba sidaas daraaddeed Sayidka ah Sayidka ciidammadu wuxuu kuwiisa cayilay ku soo diri doonaa macaluul, oo sharaftiisa meesheedana waxaa lagu shidi doonaa olol ah sida olol dabeed.

¹⁶Therefore doth the Lord, the Lord of Hosts, Send among his fat ones leanness, And under his honour He kindleth a burning As the burning of a fire.

¹⁷Iftiinka Israa'iilna wuxuu noqon doonaa dab, oo kiisa Quduuska ahuna olol, oo maalin qudha ayuu gubi doonaa oo baabbi'in doonaa qodxantiisa iyo yamaaruggiisba,

¹⁷And the light of Israel hath been for a fire, And his Holy One for a flame, And it hath burned, and devoured his thorn And his brier in one day.

¹⁸oo wuxuu dhammayn doonaa ammaanta duuddiisa iyo beertiisa midhaha badanba, iyo naf iyo jidhba, oo waxay noqon doontaa sidii markii calanqaade taag darnaado.

¹⁸And the honour of his forest, and his fruitful field, From soul even unto flesh He doth consume, And it hath been as the fainting of a standard-bearer.

¹⁹Oo geedaha duuddiisa ku hadhayna waxay noqon doonaan in yar oo ilma yaru tiradooda qori karo.

¹⁹And the rest of the trees of his forest [are] few, And a youth doth write them.

²⁰Oo waxay maalintaas noqon doontaa in kuwa dadka Israa'iil ka hadhay iyo intii dadka Yacquub ka baxsatayba ayan mar dambe ku tiirsan kii iyaga wax ku dhuftay, laakiinse waxay si run ah ugu tiirsan doonaan Rabbiga ah Kan Quduuska ah oo dadka Israa'iil.

²⁰And it hath come to pass, in that day, The remnant of Israel, And the escaped of the house of Jacob, Do not add any more to lean on its smiter, And have leant on Jehovah, The Holy One of Israel, in truth.

²¹Qaar hadhay baa soo noqon doona, xataa qaar hadhay oo dadka Yacquub waxay u soo noqon doonaan Ilaaha xoogga badan.

²¹A remnant returneth — a remnant of Jacob, Unto the Mighty God.

²²Israa'iilow, in kastoo dadkaagu u badan yahay sida cammuudda badda, qaar yar oo qudha ayaa soo noqon doona, oo baabba' la soo amray ayaa caddaalad la qarqi doona.

²²For though thy people Israel be as the sand of the sea, A remnant doth return of it, A consumption determined, Overflowing [with] righteousness.

²³Waayo, Sayidka ah Rabbiga ciidammadu wuxuu baabbi'id la amray ku samayn doonaa dhulka dhexdiisa oo dhan.

²³For a consumption that is determined, The Lord, Jehovah of Hosts, Is making in the midst of all the land.

²⁴Haddaba sidaa daraaddeed Sayidka ah Rabbiga ciidammadu wuxuu leeyahay, Dadkayga Siyoon degganow, kan reer Ashuur ha ka baqin. Ushiisuu kugu dhufan doonaa, oo hangoolkiisuu kuu qaadan doonaa sida Masriyiintu sameeyeen oo kale,

²⁴Therefore, thus said the Lord, Jehovah of Hosts, `Be not afraid, my people, inhabiting Zion, because of Asshur, With a rod he doth smite thee, And his staff lifteth up against thee, in the way of Egypt.

²⁵laakiin, weli wakhti yar baa hadhay, dabadeedna dhirifkaygu wuu idlaan doonaa, oo cadhadayduna way ku dhammaan doontaa baabba'ooda.

²⁵For yet a very little, And the indignation hath been completed, And Mine anger by their wearing out.

²⁶Oo Rabbiga ciidammaduna wuxuu iyaga ku ciqaabi doonaa karbaash u gala sida layntii reer Midyaan oo ka dhacday dhagixii weynaa ee Xoreeb agtiisa, oo sida ushiisu u kor ahayd badda ayuu kor ugu qaadi doonaa sidii Masar loogu qaaday oo kale.

²⁶And awaking for him is Jehovah of Hosts, A scourge like the smiting of Midian at the rock Oreb, And his rod [is] over the sea, And he hath lifted it in the way of Egypt.

²⁷Oo maalintaas rarkiisa ayaa garbahaaga laga qaadi doonaa, oo harqoodkiisana surkaagaa laga dejin doonaa, oo harqoodkuna wuxuu u baabbi'i doonaa saliidda aawadeed.

²⁷And it hath come to pass, in that day, Turned is his burden from off thy shoulder, And his yoke from off thy neck, And destroyed hath been the yoke, because of prosperity.

²⁸Cayaad buu yimid, oo Migroon buu dhex maray, oo wuxuu alaabtiisii dhigtay Mikmaash.

²⁸He hath come in against Aiath, He hath passed over into Migron, At Michmash he looketh after his vessels.

²⁹Way gudbeen meeshii laga gudbi jiray, oo waxay ku dhaxeen Gebac. Raamaah way gariirtay, Gibecaahdii Saa'uulna way carartay.

²⁹They have gone over the passage, Geba they have made a lodging place, Trembled hath Rama, Gibeah of Saul fled.

³⁰Magaalada Galliimay, codkaaga kor u qaad! Layishay, maqal! Adaa hoogay, Canaatooday!

³⁰Cry aloud [with] thy voice, daughter of Gallim, Give attention, Laish! answer her, Anathoth.

³¹Madmeenaah way carartay, oo dadkii Gebiim degganaana waxay isu soo urursadeen inay baxsadaan.

³¹Fled away hath Madmenah, The inhabitants of the high places have hardened themselves.

³²Maantadan wuxuu soo joogsan doonaa Nob, oo wuxuu gacantiisa ku ruxayaa buurta magaalada Siyoon oo ah kurta Yeruusaalem.

³²Yet to-day in Nob to remain, Wave its hand doth the mount of the daughter of Zion, The hill of Jerusalem.

³³Bal eega, Sayidka ah Rabbiga ciidammadu wuxuu laamaha u gooyn doonaa si aad loogaga cabsado, oo kuwa waaweynna waa la jari doonaa, oo kuwa dhaadheerna waa la ridi doonaa.Oo jiqda duuddana bir buu ku jari doonaa, oo Lubnaanna waxay ku dhici doontaa mid xoog badan gacantiis.

³³Lo, the Lord, Jehovah of Hosts, Is lopping a branch with violence, And the high of stature are cut down, And the lofty are become low,

³⁴Oo jiqda duuddana bir buu ku jari doonaa, oo Lubnaanna waxay ku dhici doontaa mid xoog badan gacantiis.

³⁴And He hath gone round the thickets of the forest with iron, And Lebanon by a mighty one falleth!
