¹Bal eega, Rabbigu dalkuu madhinayaa, oo baabba' buu ka dhigayaa, wuuna afgembiyayaa, oo kuwa degganna wuu kala firdhinayaa.

¹Lo, Jehovah is emptying the land, And is making it waste, And hath overturned [it on] its face, And hath scattered its inhabitants.

²Oo waxay noqon doontaa in wixii dadka ku dhaca ay wadaadkana ku dhacaan, oo wixii addoonka hela, sayidkana way heli doonaan, oo wixii iibiyaha helana, iibsadahana way heli doonaan, oo wixii amaahiyaha helana amaahsadahana way heli doonaan, oo wixii korsaarqaataha helana, korsaarbixiyahana way heli doonaan.

²And it hath been — as a people so a priest, As the servant so his master, As the maid-servant so her mistress, As the buyer so the seller, As the lender so the borrower, As the usurer so he who is lifting [it] on himself.

³Oo dalkana dhammaantiis waa la madhin doonaa oo la kharribi doonaa, waayo, Rabbiga ayaa eraygaas ku hadlay.

³Utterly emptied is the land, and utterly spoiled, For Jehovah hath spoken this word:

⁴Dhulku wuu baroortaa, wuuna qallalaa, dunidu way daashaa, wayna qallashaa, oo dadka sarena way daalaan.

⁴Mourned, faded hath the land, Languished, faded hath the world, Languished have they — the high place of the people of the land.

⁵Oo dhulkiina waxaa nijaaseeyey kuwa deggan, maxaa yeelay, iyagu qaynuunnadii bay ku xadgudbeen, oo amarkiina way beddeleen, oo axdigii daa'imka ahaana way jebiyeen.

⁵And the land hath been defiled under its inhabitants, Because they have transgressed laws, They have changed a statute, They have made void a covenant age-during.

⁶Sidaas daraaddeed dhulkii waxaa baabbi'iyey habaar, oo kuwii dhex degganaana eed baa laga helay, sidaas daraaddeed kuwii dhulka degganaa way gubteen oo wax yar baa ka hadhay.

⁶Therefore a curse hath consumed the land, And the inhabitants in it are become desolate, Therefore consumed have been inhabitants of the land, And few men have been left.

⁷Khamriga cusubu wuu baroortaa, dhirta canabkuna way dhadaa, oo kuwii qalbigoodu faraxsanaa oo dhammuna way taahaan.

⁷Mourned hath the new wine, languished the vine, Sighed have all the joyful of heart.

⁸Farxaddii dafku way joogsatay, oo kuwii rayraynayay buuqoodiina waa dhammaaday, farxaddii kataaradduna way joogsatay.

⁸Ceased hath the joy of tabrets, Ceased hath the noise of exulting ones, Ceased hath the joy of a harp.

⁹Mar dambe khamri hees kuma ay cabbi doonaan, oo wax lagu sakhraamona wuu u qadhaadhaan doonaa kuwa cabba.

⁹With a song they drink not wine, Bitter is strong drink to those drinking it.

¹⁰Magaalada cidlada ah waa la dumiyey, oo guri kastana waa la xidhay si aan ninna u soo gelin.

¹⁰It was broken down — a city of emptiness, Shut hath been every house from entrance.

¹¹Jidadka waxaa looga ooyayaa khamri la waayay aawadeed, farxaddii oo dhammuna way madoobaatay, oo rayrayntiina dalkay ka dhammaatay.

¹¹A cry over the wine [is] in out-places, Darkened hath been all joy, Removed hath been the joy of the land.

¹²Magaaladii waxaa lagaga dhex tegey baabba', oo albaabkiina intii la jebiyey, ayaa la baabbi'iyey.

¹²Left in the city [is] desolation, And [with] wasting is the gate smitten.

¹³Waayo, sidaasay ahaan doontaa dalka iyo dadyowga dhexdoodaba, oo waxay noqon doontaa sida ruxruxidda geedka saytuunka ah iyo sida xaaxaabka canabka marka midhaha laga gurto dabadeed.

¹³When thus it is in the heart of the land, In the midst of the peoples, As the compassing of the olive, As gleanings when harvest hath been finished,

¹⁴Codkooday kor u qaadi doonaan, wayna dhawaaqi doonaan, oo haybadda Rabbiga ayay badda aad ugaga qaylin doonaan.

¹⁴They — they lift up their voice, They sing of the excellency of Jehovah, They have cried aloud from the sea.

¹⁵Haddaba sidaas daraaddeed xagga bari Rabbiga ka ammaana, oo Rabbiga ah Ilaaha reer binu Israa'iil magiciisana waxaad ka ammaantaan gasiiradaha badda.

¹⁵Therefore in prosperity honour ye Jehovah, In isles of the sea, the name of Jehovah, God of Israel.

¹⁶Darafka dhulka ugu shisheeya ayaan ka maqalnay gabayo lahaa, Ammaanu ha u ahaato kan xaqa ah. Laakiinse anigu waxaan idhi, Caatoobay oo caatoobay, anaa iska hoogay! Khaa'innadii khiyaanay sameeyeen, hubaal khaa'innadii aad iyo aad bay khiyaano xun u sameeyeen.

¹⁶From the skirt of the earth we heard songs, The desire of the righteous. And I say, `Leanness [is] to me, Leanness [is] to me, wo [is] to me.` Treacherous dealers dealt treacherously, Yea, treachery, treacherous dealers dealt treacherously.

¹⁷Kan dhulka degganow, waxaa ku hor yaal cabsi iyo yaamays iyo dabin.

¹⁷Fear, and a snare, and a gin, [Are] on thee, O inhabitant of the land.

¹⁸Oo kii qaylada cabsida ka cararaa yaamayskuu ku dhici doonaa, oo kii yaamayska ka soo baxana waxaa qaban doona dabinka, waayo, waxaa la furay daaqadihii xagga sare, oo aasaaskii dhulkuna wuu gariirayaa.

¹⁸And it hath come to pass, He who is fleeing from the noise of the fear Doth fall into the snare, And he who is coming up from the midst of the snare, Is captured by the gin, For windows on high have been opened, And shaken are foundations of the land.

¹⁹Dhulkii dhammaantiis wuu dumay, oo dhulkii kulligiis wuu burburay, oo dhulkii aad iyo aad buu u dhaqdhaqaaqay.

¹⁹Utterly broken down hath been the land, Utterly broken hath been the land, Utterly moved hath been the land.

²⁰Dhulku wuxuu u dhicdhici doonaa sida nin sakhraansan, oo waxaa loo dhaqdhaqaajin doonaa sida buul oo kale. Xadgudubkiisuna wuu ku cuslaan doonaa, oo wuu dhici doonaa, oo mar dambena sooma kici doono.

²⁰Stagger greatly doth the land as a drunkard, And it hath been moved as a lodge, And heavy on it hath been its transgression, And it hath fallen, and addeth not to rise.

²¹Oo waxay maalintaas noqon doontaa in Rabbigu ciidanka kuwa sare kor ku ciqaabi doono, oo boqorrada dunidana dhulkuu ku ciqaabi doonaa.

²¹And it hath come to pass, in that day, Jehovah layeth a charge on the host of the high place in the high place, And on the kings of the land on the land.

²²Oo iyaga waxaa laysugu soo ururin doonaa sida maxaabiista godxabsiga loogu urursho, oo waa la xabbisi doonaa oo maalmo badan dabadeed ayaa la ciqaabi doonaa.Oo markaasaa dayaxu isku qasmi doonaa, oo qorraxduna way ceeboobi doontaa, waayo, Rabbiga ciidammadu boqor buu ku ahaan doonaa Buur Siyoon iyo Yeruusaalem, isagoo odayaashiisa hortooda sharaftiisa ka muujinaya.

²²And they have been gathered — A gathering of bound ones in a pit, And shut up they have been in a prison, And after a multitude of days are inspected.

²³Oo markaasaa dayaxu isku qasmi doonaa, oo qorraxduna way ceeboobi doontaa, waayo, Rabbiga ciidammadu boqor buu ku ahaan doonaa Buur Siyoon iyo Yeruusaalem, isagoo odayaashiisa hortooda sharaftiisa ka muujinaya.

²³And confounded hath been the moon, And ashamed hath been the sun, For reigned hath Jehovah of Hosts In mount Zion, and in Jerusalem, And over-against His elders — honour!
