¹Now in the twenty-fourth day of this month the children of Israel were assembled with fasting, and with sackcloth, and earth on them.

¹Haddaba bisha afar iyo labaatankeedii ayaa reer binu Israa'iil soo shireen iyagoo sooman oo dhar joonyad ah guntan oo ciid isku shubay.

²The seed of Israel separated themselves from all foreigners, and stood and confessed their sins, and the iniquities of their fathers.

²Markaasaa farcankii reer binu Israa'iil waxay iska sooceen dad qalaad oo dhan, oo intay istaageen ayay qirteen dembiyadoodii iyo xumaatooyinkii awowayaashood.

³They stood up in their place, and read in the book of the law of Yahweh their God a fourth part of the day; and a fourth part they confessed, and worshiped Yahweh their God.

³Kolkaasay meeshoodii istaageen oo akhriyeen kitaabkii sharciga Rabbiga Ilaahooda ah intii maalin rubuceed ah; oo haddana rubuc kale ayay wax qirteen, wayna u sujuudeen Rabbiga Ilaahooda ah.

⁴Then Jeshua, and Bani, Kadmiel, Shebaniah, Bunni, Sherebiah, Bani, and Chenani of the Levites stood up on the stairs, and cried with a loud voice to Yahweh their God.

⁴Markaasaa darajadii reer Laawi waxaa ku kor istaagay Yeeshuuca, iyo Baanii, iyo Qadmii'eel, iyo Shebanyaah, iyo Bunnii, iyo Sheereebyaah, iyo Baanii, iyo Kenaanii, oo cod weyn ayay ugu qayshadeen Rabbiga Ilaahooda ah.

⁵Then the Levites, Jeshua, and Kadmiel, Bani, Hashabneiah, Sherebiah, Hodiah, Shebaniah, and Pethahiah, said, “Stand up and bless Yahweh your God from everlasting to everlasting! Bessed be your glorious name, which is exalted above all blessing and praise!

⁵Markaasaa kuwii reer Laawi oo ahaa Yeeshuuca, iyo Qadmii'eel, iyo Baanii, iyo Xashabneyaah, iyo Sheereebyaah, iyo Hoodiyaah, iyo Shebanyaah, iyo Fetaxyaah, waxay dadkii ku yidhaahdeen, War istaaga oo Rabbiga Ilaahiinna ah ammaana weligiis iyo weligiis, oo waxay yidhaahdeen, Magacaaga ammaanta badan ha la ammaano, kaasoo ka wada sarreeya kulli mahad iyo ammaan oo dhan.

⁶You are Yahweh, even you alone. You have made heaven, the heaven of heavens, with all their army, the earth and all things that are on it, the seas and all that is in them, and you preserve them all. The army of heaven worships you.

⁶Adigaa Rabbiga ah oo keligaa baa ah. Waxaad samaysay samada, taasoo ah samada samooyinka, iyo ciidankooda oo dhan, iyo dhulka iyo waxa kor jooga oo dhan, iyo badaha iyo waxa ku jira oo dhan, dhammaantood adigaa sii nooleeya, oo ciidanka samaduna adigay kuu sujuudaan.

⁷You are Yahweh, the God who chose Abram, and brought him out of Ur of the Chaldees, and gave him the name of Abraham,

⁷Adigaa ah Rabbiga Ilaaha ah oo Aabraam doortay, oo isaga ka soo bixiyey Uur tii reer Kaldayiin, oo u bixiyey magaca Ibraahim la yidhaahdo,

⁸and found his heart faithful before you, and made a covenant with him to give the land of the Canaanite, the Hittite, the Amorite, and the Perizzite, and the Jebusite, and the Girgashite, to give it to his seed, and have performed your words; for you are righteous.

⁸oo dabadeedna ogaaday in qalbigiisu hortaada aamin ku yahay, oo isagii axdi kula dhigtay inaad isaga siinaysid dalka reer Kancaan, iyo reer Xeed, iyo reer Amor, iyo reer Feris, iyo reer Yebuus, iyo reer Girgaash, xataa inaad dalkaas siinaysid farcankiisa; oo erayadaadiina waad oofisay, maxaa yeelay, xaq baad tahay.

⁹“You saw the affliction of our fathers in Egypt, and heard their cry by the Red Sea or, Sea of Reeds ,

⁹Adigu waxaad aragtay dhibkii awowayaashayo dalka Masar ku qabeen, waanad maqashay qayladoodii ay Badda Cas agteeda ka qaysheen;

¹⁰and showed signs and wonders against Pharaoh, and against all his servants, and against all the people of his land; for you knew that they dealt proudly against them, and made a name for yourself, as it is this day.

¹⁰oo weliba Fircoon iyo addoommadiisii oo dhan, iyo kulli dadkii dalkiisa oo dhan waxaad tustay calaamooyin iyo yaabab, waayo, waad ogayd inay iyaga ku kibreen, oo halkaas magac baad ku heeshay siday maanta tahay.

¹¹You divided the sea before them, so that they went through the midst of the sea on the dry land; and you cast their pursuers into the depths, as a stone into the mighty waters.

¹¹Oo iyagii hortood ayaad baddii kala qaybisay, oo waxay mareen badda dhexdeedii, oo dhul engegan bay ku socdeen, oo kuwii iyaga eryanayayna sidii dhagax biyo xoog badan lagu dhex riday ayaad moolka ugu tuurtay.

¹²Moreover, in a pillar of cloud you led them by day; and in a pillar of fire by night, to give them light in the way in which they should go.

¹²Oo weliba maalintii waxaad ku hoggaamisay tiir daruur ah, habeenkiina tiir dab ah, si aad ugu iftiimiso jidkii ay marayeen.

¹³“You came down also on Mount Sinai, and spoke with them from heaven, and gave them right ordinances and true laws, good statutes and commandments,

¹³Waxaad weliba ku soo kor degtay Buur Siinay, oo iyagaad kala hadashay xagga samada, oo waxaad siisay xukummo qumman, iyo sharciyaal xaq ah, iyo qaynuunno wanwanaagsan, iyo amarro,

¹⁴and made known to them your holy Sabbath, and commanded them commandments, and statutes, and a law, by Moses your servant,

¹⁴oo waxaad ogeysiisay Sabtidaada quduuska ah, oo ku amartay amarro, iyo qaynuunno, iyo sharci aad ugu soo dhiibtay addoonkaagii Muuse.

¹⁵and gave them bread from the sky for their hunger, and brought forth water for them out of the rock for their thirst, and commanded them that they should go in to possess the land which you had sworn to give them.

¹⁵Oo kibis ay ku gaajo baxaan baad samada ka siisay, biyo ay ku oon baxaanna dhagax baad uga soo daysay, oo waxaad ku amartay inay galaan oo hantiyaan dalkii aad ku dhaaratay inaad siinaysid.

¹⁶“But they and our fathers dealt proudly and hardened their neck, didn’t listen to your commandments,

¹⁶Laakiinse iyagii iyo awowayaashayaba way kibreen, oo luquntay adkeeyeen, oo amarradaadiina ma ay maqlin,

¹⁷and refused to obey, neither were they mindful of your wonders that you did among them, but hardened their neck, and in their rebellion appointed a captain to return to their bondage. But you are a God ready to pardon, gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and abundant in loving kindness, and didn’t forsake them.

¹⁷wayna diideen inay addeecaan, kamana ay fiirsan yaababkaagii aad dhexdooda ku samaysay, laakiinse luquntay adkeeyeen, oo iyagoo caasi ah ayay sirkaal doorteen inay addoonnimadoodii ku noqdaan; laakiinse adigu waxaad tahay Ilaah diyaar u ah inuu wax cafiyo, waxaanad tahay nimco miidhan, oo waxaa kaa buuxda raxmad, cadho waad u gaabisaa, naxariisna hodan baad ka tahay, oo iyagiina ma aadan dayrin.

¹⁸Yes, when they had made them a molten calf, and said, ‘This is your God who brought you up out of Egypt,’ and had committed awful blasphemies;

¹⁸Oo xataa markay samaysteen weyl dahab la shubay ah, oo ay isku yidhaahdeen, Kanu waa Ilaahaagii kaa soo bixiyey dalkii Masar; oo ay aad kaaga dhirfiyeen,

¹⁹yet you in your manifold mercies didn’t forsake them in the wilderness: the pillar of cloud didn’t depart from over them by day, to lead them in the way; neither the pillar of fire by night, to show them light, and the way in which they should go.

¹⁹de weliba naxariistaada badan aawadeed iyagii kuma aadan dayrin cidladii. Maalinnimadii tiirkii daruurta ahaa kama uu tegin iyagii si uu jidka ugu hoggaamiyo, oo tiirkii dabka ahaana habeennimadii kama uu tegin si uu iftiin ugu noqdo oo uu jidkii ay mari lahaayeen ugu muujiyo.

²⁰You gave also your good Spirit to instruct them, and didn’t withhold your manna from their mouth, and gave them water for their thirst.

²⁰Oo weliba waxaad siisay ruuxaagii wanaagsanaa inuu iyagii wax baro, oo afkoodana kama aadan joojin maannadaadii, biyo ay ka oon baxaanna waad siisay.

²¹“Yes, forty years you sustained them in the wilderness. They lacked nothing. Their clothes didn’t grow old, and their feet didn’t swell.

²¹Haah, afartan sannadood ayaad iyaga cidlada ku xannaanaynaysay, oo waxba uma ayan baahan, dharkoodiina kama uusan duugoobin, cagahoodiina ma ayan bararin.

²²Moreover you gave them kingdoms and peoples, which you allotted according to their portions. So they possessed the land of Sihon, even the land of the king of Heshbon, and the land of Og king of Bashan.

²²Oo weliba waxaad iyaga siisay oo saami ugu qaybisay boqortooyooyin iyo dadyow kale, oo sidaasay u hantiyeen dalkii Siixon oo ahaa boqorkii Xeshboon, iyo dalkii Coog oo ahaa boqorkii Baashaan.

²³You also multiplied their children as the stars of the sky, and brought them into the land concerning which you said to their fathers, that they should go in to possess it.

²³Oo carruurtoodiina waxaad u badisay sida xiddigaha samada oo kale, oo iyagii waxaad keentay dalkii aad awowayaashood ku tidhi, Iyagu waa inay galaan si ay u hantiyaan.

²⁴“So the children went in and possessed the land, and you subdued before them the inhabitants of the land, the Canaanites, and gave them into their hands, with their kings, and the peoples of the land, that they might do with them as they pleased.

²⁴Markaasay carruurtii dalkii galeen oo hantiyeen, oo waxaad ka hoosaysiisay dadkii dalka degganaa oo ahaa reer Kancaan, waanad gelisay gacmahoodii, iyagii iyo boqorradoodii iyo dadyowgii dalka degganaaba, inay iyaga ku sameeyaan wax alla waxay doonayaan.

²⁵They took fortified cities, and a rich land, and possessed houses full of all good things, cisterns dug out, vineyards, and olive groves, and fruit trees in abundance. So they ate, were filled, became fat, and delighted themselves in your great goodness.

²⁵Oo waxay qabsadeen magaalooyin deyr leh iyo dal barwaaqo leh, oo waxay hantiyeen guryo ay ka buuxaan wax kasta oo wanaagsanu, iyo berkedo qodan, iyo beero canab ah, iyo beero saytuun ah, iyo geedo midho leh oo faro badan. Haddaba wax bay cuneen oo dhergeen, wayna cayileen, oo waxay ku farxeen wanaaggaaga weyn.

²⁶“Nevertheless they were disobedient, and rebelled against you, and cast your law behind their back, and killed your prophets that testified against them to turn them again to you, and they committed awful blasphemies.

²⁶Habase yeeshee way dhega adkaadeen oo kaa caasiyoobeen; sharcigaagiina gadaashooday ku tuureen, oo waxay dileen nebiyadaadii iyaga ku markhaati furay oo doonayay inay mar kale kuu soo celiyaan, oo aad bay kaaga dhirfiyeen.

²⁷Therefore you delivered them into the hand of their adversaries, who distressed them. In the time of their trouble, when they cried to you, you heard from heaven; and according to your manifold mercies you gave them saviors who saved them out of the hand of their adversaries.

²⁷Sidaas daraaddeed waxaad gacanta u gelisay cadaawayaashoodii, oo iyana way dhibeen; oo markii ay dhibtoodeen oo ay kuu qayshadeen, samadaad ka maqashay; oo naxariistaada badan aawadeed waxaad siisay badbaadshayaal cadaawayaashooda ka badbaadshay.

²⁸But after they had rest, they did evil again before you; therefore left you them in the hand of their enemies, so that they had the dominion over them; yet when they returned, and cried to you, you heard from heaven; and many times you delivered them according to your mercies,

²⁸Laakiin markay nasteen ayay wax shar ah hortaada ku sameeyeen, oo sidaas daraaddeed waxaad u daysay gacantii cadaawayaashooda, oo iyana way addoonsadeen iyagii; illowse markay kuu soo noqdeen oo ay kuu qayshadeen, samadaad ka maqashay; oo marar badan ayaad naxariistaada aawadeed ku samatabbixisay;

²⁹and testified against them, that you might bring them again to your law. Yet they dealt proudly, and didn’t listen to your commandments, but sinned against your ordinances, (which if a man does, he shall live in them), turned their backs, stiffened their neck, and would not hear.

²⁹oo aad ku markhaati furtay, si aad mar kale sharcigaaga ugu soo celiso; laakiinse way kugu kibreen oo amarradaadiina ma ay maqlin, illowse xukummadaadii way ku dembaabeen, (kaasoo haddii nin sameeyo uu ku dhex noolaan lahaa,) oo intay kaa jeesteen ayay luqunta adkeeyeen, wayna diideen inay maqlaan.

³⁰Yet many years you put up with them, and testified against them by your Spirit through your prophets. Yet would they not give ear. Therefore you gave them into the hand of the peoples of the lands.

³⁰Oo weliba sannado badan baad u dulqaadatay, oo Ruuxaaga ayaad ugu markhaati furtay adigoo nebiyadaadii ka dhex hadlaya; laakiinse dheg uma ayan dhigin, oo sidaas daraaddeed waxaad gelisay gacantii dadyowgii dalka degganaa.

³¹“Nevertheless in your manifold mercies you did not make a full end of them, nor forsake them; for you are a gracious and merciful God.

³¹Habase yeeshee naxariistaada badan aawadeed dhammaantood ma aadan wada baabbi'in, mana aadan dayrin, maxaa yeelay, waxaad tahay Ilaah raxmad iyo naxariis badan.

³²Now therefore, our God, the great, the mighty, and the awesome God, who keeps covenant and loving kindness, don’t let all the travail seem little before you, that has come on us, on our kings, on our princes, and on our priests, and on our prophets, and on our fathers, and on all your people, since the time of the kings of Assyria to this day.

³²Haddaba sidaas daraaddeed Ilaahayaga weyn, oo Qaadirka ah, oo laga cabsado, oo xajiya axdiga iyo naxariistow, dhibkan oo dhammu yuusan wax yar kula ekaan, kaasoo ku soo kor degay annaga, iyo boqorradayadii, iyo amiirradayadii, iyo wadaaddadayadii, iyo nebiyadayadii, iyo awowayaashayadii, iyo dadkaagii oo dhan, tan iyo wakhtigii boqorradii Ashuur iyo ilaa maantadan la joogo.

³³However you are just in all that has come on us; for you have dealt truly, but we have done wickedly;

³³Si kastaba ha ahaatee xaq baad ku tahay waxa nagu dhacay oo dhan, maxaa yeelay, run baad ku socotay, annaguse shar baannu samaynay,

³⁴neither have our kings, our princes, our priests, nor our fathers, kept your law, nor listened to your commandments and your testimonies with which you testified against them.

³⁴oo boqorradayadii, iyo amiirradayadii, iyo wadaaddadayadii, iyo awowayaashayadii toona ma ay dhawrin sharcigaagii, mana ay dhegaysan amarradaadii iyo markhaatifurkaagii aad ugu marag furtay.

³⁵For they have not served you in their kingdom, and in your great goodness that you gave them, and in the large and rich land which you gave before them, neither did they turn from their wicked works.

³⁵Waayo, boqortooyadoodii kuuguma ay adeegin wanaaggaagii weynaa oo aad siisay aawadiis, iyo dalka ballaadhan oo barwaaqaysan oo aad hortooda dhigtay aawadiis, oo kamana ay soo noqon shuqulladoodii sharka ahaa.

³⁶“Behold, we are servants this day, and as for the land that you gave to our fathers to eat its fruit and its good, behold, we are servants in it.

³⁶Bal eeg, annagu maanta waxaannu nahay addoommo, oo dalkii aad awowayaashayo u siisay inay midhihiisa iyo wanaaggiisa cunaan, bal eeg, annagu dhexdiisaannu addoommo ku nahaye.

³⁷It yields much increase to the kings whom you have set over us because of our sins: also they have power over our bodies, and over our livestock, at their pleasure, and we are in great distress.

³⁷Oo bal eeg, wuxuu midho badan u dhalaa boqorradii aad korkayaga ka yeeshay dembigayaga aawadiis; oo weliba waxay ugu taliyaan jidhkayaga iyo xoolahayagaba siday doonayaan, oo annana cidhiidhi weyn baannu ku jirnaa.Oo weliba waxaas oo dhan aawadood waxaannu kula dhiganaynaa axdi daacad ah, waannuna qoraynaa, oo waxaa shaabad ku dhammaynaya amiirradayada, iyo kuwayaga reer Laawi, iyo wadaaddadayada.

³⁸Yet for all this, we make a sure covenant, and write it; and our princes, our Levites, and our priests, seal it.”

³⁸Oo weliba waxaas oo dhan aawadood waxaannu kula dhiganaynaa axdi daacad ah, waannuna qoraynaa, oo waxaa shaabad ku dhammaynaya amiirradayada, iyo kuwayaga reer Laawi, iyo wadaaddadayada.
