¹Rabbigu wuxuu leeyahay, Waxaad u dhaadhacdaa guriga boqorka dalka Yahuudah, oo halkaas eraygan kaga hadal,

¹Thus said Jehovah, `Go down [to] the house of the king of Judah, and thou hast spoken there this word, and hast said,

²oo waxaad tidhaahdaa, Boqorka dalka Yahuudah ee carshiga Daa'uud ku fadhiyow, bal erayga Rabbiga maqal, adiga iyo addoommadaada iyo dadkaaga irdahan soo galow, wada maqla.

²Hear a word of Jehovah, O king of Judah, who art sitting on the throne of David, thou, and thy servants, and thy people, who are coming in at these gates,

³Rabbigu wuxuu leeyahay, Caddaalad iyo xaqnimo sameeya, oo kii la dhacay kii dulmay ka samatabbixiya, oo ha dulminina, hana xumaynina, hana wax yeelina qariibka, iyo agoonta, iyo carmalka toona, oo meeshanna dhiig aan xaq qabin ha ku daadinina.

³Thus said Jehovah: Do ye judgment and righteousness, And deliver the plundered from the hand of the oppressor, And sojourner, orphan, and widow, ye do not oppress nor wrong, And innocent blood ye do not shed in this place.

⁴Waayo, sida xaqiiqada ah idinku haddaad waxyaalahan samaysaan, markaas boqorro carshigii Daa'uud ku fadhiisan doona ayaa irdaha gurigan soo geli doona, iyagoo fuushan gaadhifardood iyo fardo, iyaga, iyo addoommadooda iyo dadkooduba.

⁴For, if ye certainly do this thing, Then come in by the gates of this house Have kings sitting for David on his throne, Riding on chariot, and on horses, He, and his servants, and his people.

⁵Laakiinse haddaad erayadan maqli weydaan, Rabbigu wuxuu leeyahay, Nafsaddaydaan ku dhaartaye guriganu cidluu noqon doonaa.

⁵And if ye do not hear these words, By myself I have sworn — an affirmation of Jehovah, That this house is for a desolation.

⁶Waayo, Rabbigu wuxuu ku leeyahay reerka boqorka Yahuudah, Adigu waxaad ii tahay sida Gilecaad iyo sida Buur Lubnaan dhaladeeda oo kale, laakiinse sida xaqiiqada ah waxaan kaa dhigi doonaa cidla, iyo sida magaalooyin aan ciduna degganayn oo kale.

⁶For thus said Jehovah, Concerning the house of the king of Judah: Gilead [art] thou to Me — head of Lebanon, If not — I make thee a wilderness, Cities not inhabited.

⁷Oo waxaan kuu diyaarin doonaa kuwa ku baabbi'inaya oo midkood kastaaba hubkiisii sito, oo geedahaaga la doortay oo kedarka ah way jari doonaan, oo dab bay ku dhex tuuri doonaan.

⁷And I have separated for thee destroyers, Each with his weapons, And they have cut down the choice of thy cedars, And have cast them on the fire.

⁸Oo quruumo badan baa magaaladan soo ag mari doona, oo midkood kastaaba wuxuu deriskiisa ku odhan doonaa, Rabbigu muxuu sidan magaaladan weyn ugu galay?

⁸And many nations have passed by this city, And they have said, each to his neighbour, For what hath Jehovah done thus to this great city?

⁹Oo iyana waxay ugu jawaabi doonaan, Maxaa yeelay, axdigii Rabbiga Ilaahooda ah ayay ka tageen, oo waxay caabudeen oo u adeegeen ilaahyo kale.

⁹And they have said, `Because that they have forsaken The covenant of Jehovah their God, And bow themselves to other gods, and serve them.`

¹⁰Kii dhintay ha u ooyina, hana u barooranina, laakiinse waxaad aad ugu ooydaan kii dhoofa, waayo, isagu mar dambe ma soo noqon doono, oo dalkiisii hooyo ee uu ku dhashayna ma uu arki doono.

¹⁰Ye do not weep for the dead, nor bemoan for him, Weep ye sore for the traveller, For he doth not return again, Nor hath he seen the land of his birth.

¹¹Waayo, Rabbigu wuxuu ka leeyahay Shalluum ina Yoosiyaah oo ahaa boqorkii Yahuudah, kaasoo boqor ka noqday meeshii aabbihiis Yoosiyaah, oo meeshan ka baxay, Isagu mar dambe halkan kuma soo noqon doono,

¹¹For thus said Jehovah concerning Shallum son of Josiah king of Judah, who is reigning instead of Josiah his father, who hath gone forth from this place: He doth not turn back hither again;

¹²laakiinse wuxuu ku dhiman doonaa meeshii ay isaga maxaabiis ahaan ugu kaxaysteen, oo dalkan mar dambe ma uu arki doono.

¹²For in the place whither they have removed him he dieth, And this land he doth not see again.

¹³Waxaa iska hoogay ninka gurigiisa xaqdarro ku dhistaa, oo qolalkiisana caddaaladdarro ku dhista, oo intuu deriskiisa adeegsado aan mushahaaro siin, oo aan shuqulkiisii waxba u siin,

¹³Wo to him who is building his house by unrighteousness, And his upper chambers by injustice, On his neighbour he layeth service for nought, And his wage he doth not give to him.

¹⁴oo yidhaahda, Anigu waxaan dhisan doonaa guri ballaadhan iyo qolal waaweyn, oo daaqado samaysta, oo saqafkiisa hoose ka dhiga qoryo kedar ah, oo rinji cas mariya.

¹⁴Who is saying, `I build for myself a large house, And airy upper chambers,` And he hath cut out for himself its windows, Ceiled with cedar, and painted with vermillion.

¹⁵Ma waxaad u malaynaysaa inaad boqor tahay qoryo kedar ah oo aad ku loollamaysid aawadood? Aabbahaa isagoo wax cunaya oo wax cabbaya miyuusan caddaalad iyo xaqnimo samayn jirin? Oo markaas isagu sow ma nabdoonayn?

¹⁵Dost thou reign, because thou art fretting thyself in cedar? Thy father — did he not eat and drink? Yea, he did judgment and righteousness, Then [it is] well with him.

¹⁶Isagu miskiinka iyo saboolka baahan buu u garsoori jiray, oo markaasuu nabdoonaa. Rabbigu wuxuu leeyahay, In lay aqoonsado sow taasu ma aha?

¹⁶He decided the cause of the poor and needy, Then [it is] well — is it not to know Me? An affirmation of Jehovah.

¹⁷Laakiinse indhahaaga iyo qalbigaagu waxay keliyahoo u diyaar yihiin faa'iidadaada xaqdarrada ah, iyo inay dhiig aan xaq qabin daadiyaan, iyo inay dulmi iyo waxyeelid sameeyaan.

¹⁷But thine eyes and thy heart are not, Except on thy dishonest gain, And on shedding of innocent blood, And on oppression, and on doing of violence.

¹⁸Sidaas daraaddeed Rabbigu wuxuu ka leeyahay Yehooyaaqiim ina Yoosiyaah oo ah boqorka dalka Yahuudah, Isaga looma barooran doono, iyagoo leh, Hoogay walaalkayow, amase Hoogay walaashayay! Oo isaga looma barooran doono iyagoo leh, Hoogay sayidow, amase Hoogay isagu sharaf badnaaye!

¹⁸Therefore, thus said Jehovah concerning Jehoiakim son of Josiah king of Judah: They do not lament for him, Ah, my brother, and Ah, sister, They do not lament for him, Ah, lord, and Ah, his honour.

¹⁹Isaga waxaa loo xabaali doonaa sida dameer loo xabaalo oo kale, oo inta la jiido ayaa irdaha Yeruusaalem dibadda looga bixin doonaa.

¹⁹The burial of an ass — he is buried, Dragged and cast out thence to the gates of Jerusalem.

²⁰Lubnaan u kac oo halkaas ka qayli, oo Baashaan codkaaga kor ugu qaad, oo Cabaariim ka qayli, waayo, kuwii ku jeclaa oo dhan waa la wada baabbi'iyey.

²⁰Go up to Lebanon, and cry, And in Bashan give forth thy voice, And cry from Abarim, For destroyed have been all loving thee.

²¹Markaad barwaaqaysnayd waan kula hadlay, laakiinse waxaad tidhi, Innaba ku maqli maayo. Oo tan iyo yaraantaadiina sidaasaad ahayd, oo codkaygana ma aadan addeecin.

²¹I have spoken unto thee in thine ease, Thou hast said, `I do not hearken,` This [is] thy way from thy youth, For thou hast not hearkened to My voice.

²²Dabaysha ayaa wada qaadi doonta daajiyayaashaada oo dhan, oo kuwa ku jecelna maxaabiis ahaan baa loo wada kaxaysan doonaa. Sida xaqiiqada ah markaas waad ceeboobi doontaa oo waxaad ku sharaf jabi doontaa sharnimadaadii aawadeed oo dhan.

²²All thy friends consume doth wind, And thy lovers into captivity do go, Surely then thou art ashamed, And hast blushed for all thy wickedness.

²³Kuwiinna Lubnaan deggan oo geedaha kedarka ah buulka ka samaystow, aad baad ugu taahi doontaan markii xanuun idin qabto sida naag foolanaysa oo kale!

²³O dweller in Lebanon, making a nest among cedars, How gracious hast thou been when pangs come to thee, Pain — as of a travailing woman.

²⁴Rabbigu wuxuu leeyahay, Noloshaydaan ku dhaartaye, xataa haddii Konyaah ina Yehooyaaqiim oo ah boqorka dalka Yahuudah uu ahaan lahaa katuunka gacantayda midig, xataa markaas waan kaa rujin lahaa meeshan.

²⁴I live — an affirmation of Jehovah, Though Coniah son of Jehoiakim king of Judah Were a seal on My right hand, Surely thence I draw thee away,

²⁵Oo waxaan kuu gelin doonaa gacanta kuwa naftaada doondoonaya, iyo gacanta kuwa aad ka baqaysid, oo ah Nebukadresar oo boqorka Baabuloon ah, iyo reer Kaldayiin.

²⁵And I have given thee into the hand of those seeking thy life, And into hands of which thou art afraid, Into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, And into the hand of the Chaldeans.

²⁶Oo adiga iyo hooyadaadii ku dhashayba waxaan ku dhex xoori doonaa dal aydaan ku dhalan, oo halkaasaad ku dhiman doontaan.

²⁶And I have cast thee, And thy mother who bore thee, unto another country, Where ye were not born, and there do ye die.

²⁷Laakiinse dalka ay u xiisoonayaan inay ku noqdaan, halkaas innaba kuma ay soo noqon doonaan.

²⁷And to the land whither they are lifting up their soul to return, Thither they do not return.

²⁸Ninkan Konyaah ahu ma dheri jabay oo la nacay baa? Ma weel aan la doonayn baa? Bal maxaa isaga iyo farcankiisiiba loo tuuray, oo maxaa loogu dhex xooray dal ayan innaba aqoonin?

²⁸A grief — a despised broken thing — is this man Coniah? A vessel in which there is no pleasure? Wherefore have they been cast up and down, He and his seed, Yea, they were cast on to a land that they knew not?

²⁹Dhulkow, dhulkow, dhulkow, bal erayga Rabbiga maqal.Rabbigu wuxuu leeyahay, Waxaad ninkan ku qortaan sidii madhalays oo kale iyo nin aan cimrigiis liibaanayn, waayo, isaga farcankiisa ninna ka liibaani maayo inuu carshigii Daa'uud ku dul fadhiisto, oo uu dalka Yahuudah mar dambe ka dhex taliyo.

²⁹Earth, earth, earth, hear a word of Jehovah,

³⁰Rabbigu wuxuu leeyahay, Waxaad ninkan ku qortaan sidii madhalays oo kale iyo nin aan cimrigiis liibaanayn, waayo, isaga farcankiisa ninna ka liibaani maayo inuu carshigii Daa'uud ku dul fadhiisto, oo uu dalka Yahuudah mar dambe ka dhex taliyo.

³⁰Thus said Jehovah: Write ye this man childless, A man — he doth not prosper in his days, For none of his seed doth prosper, Sitting on the throne of David, And ruling again in Judah!
