¹Hear my teaching, my people. Turn your ears to the words of my mouth.

¹Dadkaygiiyow, sharcigayga dhegaysta, Oo dhegahana u dhiga erayada afkayga.

²I will open my mouth in a parable. I will utter dark sayings of old,

²Afkayga waxaan ku furi doonaa masaal, Oo waxaan ku dhawaaqi doonaa xujooyin hore,

³Which we have heard and known, and our fathers have told us.

³Kuwaasoo aynu maqalnay oo aynu niqiin, Oo ay awowayaasheen inoo sheegeen.

⁴We will not hide them from their children, telling to the generation to come the praises of Yahweh, his strength, and his wondrous works that he has done.

⁴Ka qarin mayno carruurtooda, Laakiin waxaynu farcanka soo socda u sheegaynaa Rabbiga ammaantiisa, Iyo xooggiisa, iyo shuqulladiisii yaabka badnaa oo uu sameeyey.

⁵For he established a testimony in Jacob, and appointed a teaching in Israel, which he commanded our fathers, that they should make them known to their children;

⁵Waayo, markhaati buu reer Yacquub ka dhex dhisay, Oo sharci buu reer binu Israa'iil u dejiyey, Kaasoo uu ku amray awowayaasheen, Inay carruurtooda dambe ogeysiiyaan aawadeed,

⁶that the generation to come might know, even the children who should be born; who should arise and tell their children,

⁶Iyo in farcanka soo socdaa ay iyaga ogaadaan, kuwaasoo ah carruurta hadda ka dib dhalanaysa, Kuwaasoo iyana kici doona oo carruurtooda u sheegi doona,

⁷that they might set their hope in God, and not forget the works of God, but keep his commandments,

⁷Inay rajadooda Ilaah ku xidhaan, Oo aanay illoobin Ilaah shuqulladiisii, Laakiinse ay xajiyaan amarradiisa,

⁸and might not be as their fathers, a stubborn and rebellious generation, a generation that didn’t make their hearts loyal, whose spirit was not steadfast with God.

⁸Oo aanay sidii awowayaashood oo kale noqon Farcan madax adag oo caasi badan, Kaasoo ah farcan aan qalbigoodu qummanayn, Oo naftooduna aanay xagga Ilaah aamin ku ahayn.

⁹The children of Ephraim, being armed and carrying bows, turned back in the day of battle.

⁹Reer Efrayim iyagoo hub iyo qaansooyin sita Ayay maalintii dagaalka dib u noqdeen.

¹⁰They didn’t keep God’s covenant, and refused to walk in his law.

¹⁰Axdigii Ilaah ma ay xajin, Oo waxay diideen inay sharcigiisii ku socdaan,

¹¹They forgot his doings, his wondrous works that he had shown them.

¹¹Oo waxay illoobeen falimihiisa Iyo shuqulladiisii yaabka badnaa oo uu iyaga tusay.

¹²He did marvelous things in the sight of their fathers, in the land of Egypt, in the field of Zoan.

¹²Waxyaalo yaab badan ayuu awowayaashood ku hor sameeyey, Markay joogeen dalkii Masar iyo berrinkii Socan.

¹³He split the sea, and caused them to pass through. He made the waters stand as a heap.

¹³Isagu badduu kala gooyay, oo iyagii dhex marsiiyey, Oo biyihiina wuxuu ka dhigay inay sidii taallo u taagnaadaan.

¹⁴In the daytime he also led them with a cloud, and all night with a light of fire.

¹⁴Oo weliba maalinnimadii wuxuu ku hoggaamiyey daruur, Oo habeennimadii oo dhanna wuxuu ku hoggaamiyey dab iftiinkiis.

¹⁵He split rocks in the wilderness, and gave them drink abundantly as out of the depths.

¹⁵Wuxuu kala jebiyey dhagaxyadii cidlada, Oo wuxuu iyaga ka siiyey cabniin aad u badan oo ah sidii kan moolka laga helo.

¹⁶He brought streams also out of the rock, and caused waters to run down like rivers.

¹⁶Oo weliba wuxuu dhagaxa weyn ka soo faruuray durdurro, Oo wuxuu biyo u qulquliyey sidii webiyada oo kale.

¹⁷Yet they still went on to sin against him, to rebel against the Most High in the desert.

¹⁷Laakiinse iyagu weli way ku sii socdeen inay isaga ku dembaabaan, Inay ku caasiyoobaan Ilaaha ugu sarreeya intii ay cidladii joogeen.

¹⁸They tempted God in their heart by asking food according to their desire.

¹⁸Oo weliba Ilaah waxay ku tijaabiyeen qalbigooda Kolkii ay hilib u weyddiisteen damacooda aawadiis.

¹⁹Yes, they spoke against God. They said, “Can God prepare a table in the wilderness?

¹⁹Oo Ilaah bay wax ka sheegeen, Oo waxay yidhaahdeen, Ilaah ma miis buu cidlada ku diyaarin karaa?

²⁰Behold, he struck the rock, so that waters gushed out, and streams overflowed. Can he give bread also? Will he provide flesh for his people?”

²⁰Bal eeg, dhagaxii ayuu wax ku dhuftay, markaasaa biyo ka soo buqdeen Oo durdurraa ka soo buuxdhaafay, Haddaba miyuu kibisna bixin karaa? Miyuu dadkiisa hilib siin karaa?

²¹Therefore Yahweh heard, and was angry. A fire was kindled against Jacob, anger also went up against Israel,

²¹Sidaas daraaddeed Rabbigu taas buu maqlay, wuuna cadhooday, Oo reer Yacquub dab baa ku shidmay, Reer binu Israa'iilna cadhaa ku dhacday,

²²because they didn’t believe in God, and didn’t trust in his salvation.

²²Maxaa yeelay, Ilaah ma ay rumaysan, Oo badbaadintiisana iskuma ay hallayn.

²³Yet he commanded the skies above, and opened the doors of heaven.

²³Laakiin isagu wuxuu amray cirka sare Oo albaabbadii samadana wuu furay;

²⁴He rained down manna on them to eat, and gave them food from the sky.

²⁴Oo wuxuu ku soo daayay maanna ay cunaan, Oo wuxuu iyagii wax ka siiyey hadhuudhkii samada.

²⁵Man ate the bread of angels. He sent them food to the full.

²⁵Dadkii waxay cuneen kibistii malaa'igaha, Oo weliba wuxuu iyaga u soo diray hilib ay ka dhergaan.

²⁶He caused the east wind to blow in the sky. By his power he guided the south wind.

²⁶Isagu wuxuu samada ka kiciyey dabaysha bari, Oo dabaysha koonfureedna xooggiisuu ku hoggaamiyey.

²⁷He rained also flesh on them as the dust; winged birds as the sand of the seas.

²⁷Oo korkoodana hilib buu ugu soo daadiyey sidii ciidda oo kale, Oo wuxuu ku soo daayay haad baalal leh oo ah sidii cammuudda badaha,

²⁸He let them fall in the midst of their camp, around their habitations.

²⁸Oo wuxuu ku soo daadiyey xeradooda dhexdeeda, Iyo rugahooda hareerahooda.

²⁹So they ate, and were well filled. He gave them their own desire.

²⁹Sidaas daraaddeed iyagii way cuneen, oo aad bay uga dhergeen, Oo isna wuxuu iyagii siiyey wixii ay u jeellanaayeen.

³⁰They didn’t turn from their cravings. Their food was yet in their mouths,

³⁰Iyagu jeelkii damacooda kama ay xiisa dhicin, Oo cuntadoodii weli afkooday ku jirtay,

³¹when the anger of God went up against them, killed some of their fattest, and struck down the young men of Israel.

³¹Markii cadhada Ilaah ay iyaga ku dhacday, Oo ay dishay kuwii iyaga ugu buurbuurnaa, Oo ay laysay raggii dhallinyarada ahaa oo reer binu Israa'iil.

³²For all this they still sinned, and didn’t believe in his wondrous works.

³²In kastoo waxyaalahaas oo dhammu ay ku dheceen, Weli way sii dembaabeen, Oo mana ay rumaysan shuqulladiisii yaabka badnaa.

³³Therefore he consumed their days in vanity, and their years in terror.

³³Sidaas daraaddeed maalmahoodii wuxuu ku dhammeeyey wax aan waxtar lahayn, Cimrigoodiina cabsi.

³⁴When he killed them, then they inquired after him. They returned and sought God earnestly.

³⁴Markii uu iyaga laayay ayay isaga dooneen, Oo haddiiba way soo noqdeen oo Ilaah goor hore doondooneen.

³⁵They remembered that God was their rock, the Most High God, their redeemer.

³⁵Oo waxay xusuusteen in Ilaah ahaa dhagaxoodii weynaa, Iyo in Ilaaha ugu sarreeyaa uu ahaa Bixiyahooda.

³⁶But they flattered him with their mouth, and lied to him with their tongue.

³⁶Laakiinse waxay isaga ku faansheen afkooda, Oo carrabkoodana been bay ugu sheegeen.

³⁷For their heart was not right with him, neither were they faithful in his covenant.

³⁷Waayo, qalbigoodu xaggiisa kuma hagaagsanayn, Oo axdigiisiina daacad uma ay ahayn.

³⁸But he, being merciful, forgave iniquity, and didn’t destroy them. Yes, many times he turned his anger away, and didn’t stir up all his wrath.

³⁸Laakiinse isagoo raxmad miidhan ah ayuu xumaantoodii cafiyey, oo mana uu baabbi'in iyagii, Haah, oo marar badan ayuu cadhadiisii ka leexiyey, Oo cadhadiisii oo dhanna ma uu wada kicin.

³⁹He remembered that they were but flesh, a wind that passes away, and doesn’t come again.

³⁹Oo wuxuu xusuustay inay iyagu yihiin binu-aadmi, Iyo dabayl iska gudubta oo aan mar dambe soo noqon.

⁴⁰How often they rebelled against him in the wilderness, and grieved him in the desert!

⁴⁰Immisa jeer bay isaga ku caasiyoobeen markay cidlada joogeen, Oo immisa jeer bay calool xumeeyeen markay lamadegaanka dhex joogeen!

⁴¹They turned again and tempted God, and provoked the Holy One of Israel.

⁴¹Oo haddana way soo noqdeen oo waxay tijaabiyeen Ilaah, Oo waxay ka xanaajiyeen reer binu Israa'iil Kooda Quduuska ah.

⁴²They didn’t remember his hand, nor the day when he redeemed them from the adversary;

⁴²Sooma ay xusuusan gacantiisii, Iyo maalintii uu iyaga ka soo furtay cadowga toona,

⁴³how he set his signs in Egypt, his wonders in the field of Zoan,

⁴³Iyo xataa siduu calaamooyinkiisii Masar ugu dhex sameeyey, Yaababkiisiina berrinkii Socan.

⁴⁴he turned their rivers into blood, and their streams, so that they could not drink.

⁴⁴Iyo siduu webiyaashoodii dhiigga ugu beddelay, Durdurradoodiina, si aanay waxba uga cabbi karin.

⁴⁵He sent among them swarms of flies, which devoured them; and frogs, which destroyed them.

⁴⁵Wuxuu ku soo dhex daayay duqsiyo badan, wayna cuneen, Iyo xataa rahyo, oo iyana way baabbi'iyeen.

⁴⁶He gave also their increase to the caterpillar, and their labor to the locust.

⁴⁶Oo weliba wixii u baxay wuxuu siiyey diir, Oo waxay ku hawshoodeenna wuxuu siiyey ayax.

⁴⁷He destroyed their vines with hail, their sycamore fig trees with frost.

⁴⁷Geedcanabkoodii wuxuu ku baabbi'iyey roobdhagaxyaale, Oo dhirtoodii darayga ahaydna wuxuu ku baabbi'iyey sayax barafoobay.

⁴⁸He gave over their livestock also to the hail, and their flocks to hot thunderbolts.

⁴⁸Xoolahoodii wuxuu ku soo daayay roobdhagaxyaalaha, Adhyahoodiina danabyo kulul.

⁴⁹He threw on them the fierceness of his anger, wrath, indignation, and trouble, and a band of angels of evil.

⁴⁹Oo wuxuu ku soo daayay kulaylkii cadhadiisa, Iyo xanaaq, iyo dhirif, iyo dhib, Iyo guuto ah malaa'igo shar ah.

⁵⁰He made a path for his anger. He didn’t spare their soul from death, but gave their life over to the pestilence,

⁵⁰Isagu cadhadiisii wadduu u sameeyey, Oo naftoodiina dhimasho ugama uu lexejeclaan, Laakiinse noloshoodii wuxuu u daayay belaayada,

⁵¹and struck all the firstborn in Egypt, the chief of their strength in the tents of Ham.

⁵¹Oo wuxuu dalkii Masar ku laayay curadyadii oo dhan, Kuwaas oo ahaa xooggoodii u horreeyey oo uu ku dhex laayay teendhooyinkii Xaam,

⁵²But he led forth his own people like sheep, and guided them in the wilderness like a flock.

⁵²Laakiinse isagu dadkiisii sidii ido oo kale ayuu u hor kacay, Oo cidladuu ku dhex hoggaamiyey iyaga sidii adhi oo kale.

⁵³He led them safely, so that they weren’t afraid, but the sea overwhelmed their enemies.

⁵³Oo ammaan buu ku hoggaamiyey, si aanay u baqin, Laakiinse cadaawayaashoodii baddaa qarqisay.

⁵⁴He brought them to the border of his sanctuary, to this mountain, which his right hand had taken.

⁵⁴Oo wuxuu iyagii keenay xuduudkii meeshiisa quduuska ah, Iyo ilaa buurtan ay midigtiisu iibsatay.

⁵⁵He also drove out the nations before them, allotted them for an inheritance by line, and made the tribes of Israel to dwell in their tents.

⁵⁵Oo weliba hortoodana wuxuu ka eryay quruumaha, Oo dhaxal ahaan buu ugu qaybiyey. Oo qabiilooyinkii reer binu Israa'iilna wuxuu dejiyey teendhooyinkoodii.

⁵⁶Yet they tempted and rebelled against the Most High God, and didn’t keep his testimonies;

⁵⁶Laakiin way jirrabeen oo ku caasiyoobeen Ilaaha ugu sarreeya, Oo markhaatifurkiisiina ma ay xajin,

⁵⁷but turned back, and dealt treacherously like their fathers. They were turned aside like a deceitful bow.

⁵⁷Laakiinse dib bay u noqdeen, oo sidii awowayaashood ayay si aan daacad ahayn ula dhaqmeen, Oo iyagu waxay u leexdeen sidii qaanso khiyaano badan.

⁵⁸For they provoked him to anger with their high places, and moved him to jealousy with their engraved images.

⁵⁸Waayo, waxay isaga kaga xanaajiyeen meelahoodii sarsare, Oo waxay isaga uga hinaasiyeen sanamyadooda la qoray.

⁵⁹When God heard this, he was angry, and greatly abhorred Israel;

⁵⁹Ilaah markuu taas maqlay ayuu cadhooday, Oo aad buu reer binu Israa'iil u karhay,

⁶⁰So that he forsook the tent of Shiloh, the tent which he placed among men;

⁶⁰Sidaas daraaddeed taambuuggii Shiiloh wuu dayriyey, Kaasoo ah teendhadii uu dadka dhex dhigay,

⁶¹and delivered his strength into captivity, his glory into the adversary’s hand.

⁶¹Oo xooggiisii wuxuu u gacangeliyey maxaabiisnimo, Ammaantiisiina wuxuu ku riday cadowga gacantiisii.

⁶²He also gave his people over to the sword, and was angry with his inheritance.

⁶²Dadkiisiina wuxuu u gacangeliyey seef, Oo wuxuu u cadhooday dhaxalkiisii.

⁶³Fire devoured their young men. Their virgins had no wedding song.

⁶³Raggoodii dhallinyarada ahaa dab baa laastay, Gabdhahoodiina buraanbur aroos looma tirin.

⁶⁴Their priests fell by the sword, and their widows couldn’t weep.

⁶⁴Wadaaddadoodii waxay ku dhinteen seef, Carmalladoodiina uma ay barooran.

⁶⁵Then the Lord awakened as one out of sleep, like a mighty man who shouts by reason of wine.

⁶⁵Markaasaa Sayidku wuxuu u kacay sidii mid hurdo ka toosay, Sidii nin xoog badan oo la qaylinaya khamri daraaddiis.

⁶⁶He struck his adversaries backward. He put them to a perpetual reproach.

⁶⁶Cadaawayaashiisiina wuu ku dhuftay oo dib buu u celiyey, Oo wuxuu saaray ceeb aan weligeed ka hadhayn.

⁶⁷Moreover he rejected the tent of Joseph, and didn’t choose the tribe of Ephraim,

⁶⁷Oo weliba wuu diiday teendhadii reer Yuusuf, Qabiilkii reer Efrayimna ma uu dooran,

⁶⁸But chose the tribe of Judah, Mount Zion which he loved.

⁶⁸Laakiinse wuxuu doortay qabiilkii reer Yahuudah, Iyo Buur Siyoon oo uu jeclaaday.

⁶⁹He built his sanctuary like the heights, like the earth which he has established forever.

⁶⁹Oo meeshiisii quduuska ahayd wuxuu u dhisay sidii meelaha sare, Iyo sidii dhulka uu weligiis adkeeyey.

⁷⁰He also chose David his servant, and took him from the sheepfolds;

⁷⁰Wuxuuna doortay addoonkiisii Daa'uud, Oo wuxuu isaga ka soo waday xeryaha idaha,

⁷¹from following the ewes that have their young, he brought him to be the shepherd of Jacob, his people, and Israel, his inheritance.

⁷¹Wuxuu ka soo waday laxihii ilmo nuujinayay oo uu raacayay, Inuu daajiyo reer Yacquub oo dadkiisa ah, iyo reer binu Israa'iil oo dhaxalkiisa ah.Haddaba wuxuu u daajinayay si waafaqsan daacadnimada qalbigiisa, Oo wuxuu ku hoggaaminayay farsamada gacmihiisa.

⁷²So he was their shepherd according to the integrity of his heart, and guided them by the skillfulness of his hands.

⁷²Haddaba wuxuu u daajinayay si waafaqsan daacadnimada qalbigiisa, Oo wuxuu ku hoggaaminayay farsamada gacmihiisa.
