1 T he mournful, inspired prediction (a burden to be lifted up) concerning the Desert of the Sea: As whirlwinds in the South (the Negeb) sweep through, so it comes from the desert, from a terrible land.

Kanu 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.

2 A hard and grievous vision is declared to me: the treacherous dealer deals treacherously, and the destroyer destroys. Go up, O Elam! Besiege, O Media! All the sighing I will cause to cease.

Waxaa 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.

3 T herefore are my loins filled with anguish, pangs have seized me like the pangs of a woman in childbirth; I am bent and pained so that I cannot hear, I am dismayed so that I cannot see.

Sidaas 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.

4 M y mind reels and wanders, horror terrifies me. The twilight I looked forward to with pleasure has been turned into fear and trembling for me.

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

5 T hey prepare the table, they spread the rugs, set the watchers, they eat, they drink. Arise, you princes, and oil your shields!

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

6 F or thus has the Lord said to me: Go, set a watchman, let him declare what he sees.

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

7 A nd when he sees a troop, horsemen in pairs, a troop of donkeys, and a troop of camels, he shall listen diligently, very diligently.

Oo 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.

8 A nd cried like a lion, O Lord, I stand continually on the watchtower in the daytime, and I am set in my station every night.

Oo 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.

9 A nd see! Here comes a troop of men and chariots, horsemen in pairs! And he tells: Babylon has fallen, has fallen! And all the graven images of her gods lie shattered on the ground!

Oo 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.

10 O you my threshed and winnowed ones, that which I have heard from the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, I have announced to you!

Dadkayga sida hadhuudh la tumayow, wixii aan Rabbiga ciidammada oo ah Ilaaha reer binu Israa'iil ka maqlay waan idin ogeysiiyey. Wax Sii Sheegid Ka Gees Ah Duumah

11 T he mournful, inspired prediction (a burden to be lifted up) concerning Dumah (Edom): One calls to me from Seir (Edom), Watchman, what of the night? Guardian, what of the night?

Kanu waa warka culus ee Duumah ku saabsan. Mid baa aniga Seciir iiga yeedhay, isagoo leh, Waardiyow, habeenka ka warran?

12 T he watchman said, The morning comes, but also the night. if you will inquire, inquire; return, come again.

Oo waardiyihiina wuxuu yidhi, Waagu waa beryayaa, habeenkuna waa soo socdaa, haddii aad wax weyddiinaysaan, weyddiiya, soo noqda oo kaalaya. Wax Sii Sheegid Ka Gees Ah Dalka Carabta

13 T he mournful, inspired prediction (a burden to be lifted up) concerning Arabia: In the forests and thickets of Arabia you shall lodge, O you caravans of Dedanites.

Kanu waa warka culus ee dalka Carabta ku saabsan. Kuwiinna safarka ah oo reer Dedaanow, waxaad ku hoyan doontaan kaynta dalka Carabta.

14 T o the thirsty bring water, O inhabitants of the land of Tema; meet the fugitive with bread for him.

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

15 F or they have fled from the swords, from the drawn sword, from the bent bow, and from the grievousness of war.

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

16 F or the Lord has said this to me, Within a year, according to the years of a hireling, all the glory of Kedar will fail.

Waayo, Sayidku wuxuu igu yidhi, Muddo sannad ah oo ah sida sannadaha shaqaalaha ayaa sharafta Qedaar oo dhammu ku baabbi'i doontaa.

17 A nd the remainder of the number of archers and their bows, the mighty men of the sons of Kedar, will be diminished and few; for the Lord, the God of Israel, has spoken it.

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.
