¹The burden of the wilderness of the sea. As whirlwinds in the South sweep through, it comes from the wilderness, from an awesome land.

¹Kanu waa warka culus ee ku saabsan cidlada badda ku ag taal. Sida cirwareentu koonfur uga timaado oo kale ayuu cidlada oo ah dal cabsi badan uga yimaadaa.

²A grievous vision is declared to me. The treacherous man deals treacherously, and the destroyer destroys. Go up, Elam; attack! I have stopped all of Media’s sighing.

²Waxaa lay tusay muujin culus. Khaa'inkii khiyaanuu sameeyaa, oo kan wax dhacaana wax buu dhacaa. Reer Ceelaamow, ku kac, reer Maadayow, hareeree. Taahiddii oo dhan anigu waan joojiyey.

³Therefore my thighs are filled with anguish. Pains have taken hold on me, like the pains of a woman in labor. I am in so much pain that I can’t hear. I so am dismayed that I can’t see.

³Sidaas daraaddeed naxdin baa cidhiidhi i gelisay, oo waxaa i qabtay xanuun badan sida naag foosheed oo kale, oo xanuun aawadiis waxba waan maqli kari waayay, oo naxdin aawadeed waxba waan arki kari waayay.

⁴My heart flutters. Horror has frightened me. The twilight that I desired has been turned into trembling for me.

⁴Waan qalbitakhtakhay, oo cabsi baa i argaggixisay. Fiidkii aan istareexa ka filanayay gariir buu iigu rogmaday.

⁵They prepare the table. They set the watch. They eat. They drink. Rise up, you princes, oil the shield!

⁵Miis bay diyaarsadaan, oo gogol bay gogladaan, wax bayna cunaan oo cabbaan. Amiirradow, sara joogsada, oo gaashaanka subka.

⁶For the Lord said to me, “Go, set a watchman. Let him declare what he sees.

⁶Waayo, Sayidku wuxuu igu yidhi, Tag, oo waardiye meel dhig, oo isna wuxuu arko ha sheego.

⁷When he sees a troop, horsemen in pairs, a troop of donkeys, a troop of camels, he shall listen diligently with great attentiveness.”

⁷Oo markaasuu arkay ciidan fardo fuushan oo laba laba u socda, iyo ciidan dameerro fuushan, iyo ciidan rakuubbo fuushan, aad buuna u dhegaystay oo aad iyo aad buu uga fikiray.

⁸He cried like a lion: “Lord, I stand continually on the watchtower in the daytime, and every night I stay at my post.

⁸Oo wuxuu u qayliyey sidii libaax oo kale oo yidhi, Sayidow, maalintii oo dhan waxaan had iyo goorba ku kor taagnahay munaaradda waardiyaha, oo habeen walbana waxaan joogaa meeshayda waardiyaha.

⁹Behold, here comes a troop of men, horsemen in pairs.” He answered, “Fallen, fallen is Babylon; and all the engraved images of her gods are broken to the ground.

⁹Oo bal eeg, waxaa soo socda ciidan fardo fuushan oo laba laba u socda. Oo isna waa u jawaabay oo wuxuu yidhi, Baabuloon waa dhacday, waa dhacday, oo sanamyadeedii xardhanaa oo ilaahyadeedu way wada jajabeen oo dhulkay daadsan yihiin.

¹⁰You are my threshing, and the grain of my floor!” That which I have heard from Yahweh of Armies, the God of Israel, I have declared to you.

¹⁰Dadkayga sida hadhuudh la tumayow, wixii aan Rabbiga ciidammada oo ah Ilaaha reer binu Israa'iil ka maqlay waan idin ogeysiiyey.

¹¹The burden of Dumah. One calls to me out of Seir, “Watchman, what of the night? Watchman, what of the night?”

¹¹Kanu waa warka culus ee Duumah ku saabsan.

¹²The watchman said, “The morning comes, and also the night. If you will inquire, inquire. Come back again.”

¹²Oo waardiyihiina wuxuu yidhi, Waagu waa beryayaa, habeenkuna waa soo socdaa, haddii aad wax weyddiinaysaan, weyddiiya, soo noqda oo kaalaya.

¹³The burden on Arabia. In the forest in Arabia you will lodge, you caravans of Dedanites.

¹³Kanu waa warka culus ee dalka Carabta ku saabsan.

¹⁴They brought water to him who was thirsty. The inhabitants of the land of Tema met the fugitives with their bread.

¹⁴Kuwa oomman biyo u keena, kuwa dalka Teemaa degganow, kuwa qaxay cunto kala hor taga.

¹⁵For they fled away from the swords, from the drawn sword, from the bent bow, and from the heat of battle.

¹⁵Waayo, iyagu seef bay ka carareen, taas oo ahayd seef gal la', iyo qaanso xodan iyo dagaal aad u kulul.

¹⁶For the Lord said to me, “Within a year, as a worker bound by contract would count it, all the glory of Kedar will fail,

¹⁶Waayo, Sayidku wuxuu igu yidhi, Muddo sannad ah oo ah sida sannadaha shaqaalaha ayaa sharafta Qedaar oo dhammu ku baabbi'i doontaa.Oo intii ka hadhay tirada ragga qaansaleyda ah oo ah ragga xoogga badan oo reer Qedaarna way yaraan doontaa, waayo, Rabbiga ah Ilaaha reer binu Israa'iil ayaa saas ku hadlay.

¹⁷and the residue of the number of the archers, the mighty men of the children of Kedar, will be few; for Yahweh, the God of Israel, has spoken it.”

¹⁷Oo intii ka hadhay tirada ragga qaansaleyda ah oo ah ragga xoogga badan oo reer Qedaarna way yaraan doontaa, waayo, Rabbiga ah Ilaaha reer binu Israa'iil ayaa saas ku hadlay.
