1 R un to and fro through the streets of Jerusalem, and see now and take notice! Seek in her broad squares to see if you can find a man, one who does justice, who seeks truth, sincerity, and faithfulness; and I will pardon.

Bal jidadka Yeruusaalem hore iyo dib ugu orda, oo bal fiiriya, oo garta, oo meelaheeda balballaadhanna ka doondoona nin qudha oo caddaalad sameeya oo runta doondoona, oo haddaad ka heli kartaanna iyada waan cafiyi doonaa.

2 A nd though they say, As the Lord lives, surely they swear falsely.

Oo weliba in kastoo ay yidhaahdaan, Waa iga Rabbiga nool, sida xaqiiqada ah been bay ku dhaartaan.

3 O Lord, do not your eyes look on the truth? You have stricken them, but they have not grieved; You have consumed them, but they have refused to take correction or instruction. They have made their faces harder than a rock, they have refused to repent and return to You.

Rabbiyow, indhahaagu runta sow ma fiiriyaan? Iyaga wax baad ku dhufatay, laakiinse innaba kama ay xumaan, oo waad baabbi'isay, laakiinse way diideen inay edeb qaataan. Wejigoodiina waxay ka dhigeen wax dhagax ka sii adag, oo inay soo noqdaanna way diideen.

4 T hen I said, Surely these are only the poor; they are foolish and have no understanding, for they know not the way of the Lord, the judgment (the just and righteous law) of their God.

Markaasaan idhi, Sida xaqiiqada ah kuwanu waa masaakiin, oo waa nacasyo, waayo, Rabbiga jidkiisa iyo qaynuunka Ilaahooda toona garan maayaan.

5 I will go to the great men and will speak to them, for they must know the way of the Lord, the judgment (the just and righteous law) of their God. But these had all alike broken the yoke and had burst the bonds.

Waxaan u tegi doonaa ragga waaweyn, oo waan la hadli doonaa, waayo, iyagu Rabbiga jidkiisa iyo qaynuunka Ilaahooda way yaqaaniin. Laakiinse kuwanu dhammaantood harqoodkii way jebiyeen, oo xadhkihiina way kala gooyeen.

6 T herefore a lion out of the forest shall slay them, a wolf of the desert shall destroy them, a leopard or panther shall lie in wait against their cities. Everyone who goes out of them shall be torn in pieces, because their transgressions are many, their backslidings and total desertion of faith are increased and have become great and mighty.

Oo sidaas daraaddeed waxaa iyaga dili doona libaax kaynta ka soo baxay, oo waxaa baabbi'in doonta yeyda fiideed. Oo magaalooyinkoodana waxaa gaagaatami doona shabeel, oo ku alla kii halkaas ka soo baxaba waa la kala dildillaacsan doonaa, maxaa yeelay, xadgudubyadoodu waa tiro badan yihiin, oo dibunoqoshadoodiina waa sii korodhay.

7 W hy should I and how can I pass over this and forgive you for it? Your children have forsaken Me and sworn by those that are no gods. When I had fed them to the full and bound them to Me by oath, they committed adultery, assembling themselves in troops at the houses of harlots.

Sidee baan kuu saamixi karaa? Carruurtaadii way iga tageen, oo waxay ku dhaarteen kuwa aan ilaahyo ahayn, oo markaan dherdhergiyey dabadeed ayay sinaysteen, oo iyagoo guutooyin ah ayay guryihii dhillooyinka ku soo urureen.

8 T hey were like fed stallions roaming at large; each one neighed after his neighbor’s wife.

Waxay la mid noqdeen sidii fardo aroortii la barqiyey, oo midkood kastaaba wuxuu ka daba dananay naagtii deriskiisa.

9 S hall I not punish them for these things? says the Lord; and shall I not avenge Myself on such a nation as this?

Rabbigu wuxuu leeyahay, Miyaanan iyaga waxyaalahan u ciqaabayn? Miyaanse naftaydu ka aarsanayn quruuntii tan oo kale ah?

10 G o up within walls and destroy, but do not make a full and complete end. Trim away the tendrils, for they are not the Lord’s.

Derbiyadeeda fuula oo dumiya, laakiinse ha wada baabbi'inina. Laamaheedana qaada, waayo, kuwii Rabbiga ma aha.

11 F or the house of Israel and the house of Judah have dealt very faithlessly and treacherously against Me, says the Lord.

Waayo, dadka Israa'iil iyo dadka Yahuudahba khiyaano bay igula macaamiloodeen, ayaa Rabbigu leeyahay.

12 T hey have lied about and denied the Lord by saying, It is not He! Evil shall not come upon us; nor shall we see war or famine.

Rabbiga way dafireen, oo waxay yidhaahdeen, Isagu ma jiro. Masiibo nagu dhici mayso, oo seef iyo abaar midna arki mayno.

13 A nd the prophets will become wind, and the word is not in them. Thus shall it be done to them.

Oo nebiyaduna dabayl bay noqon doonaan, oo eraygu iyaga kuma jiro, oo sidaasaa iyaga lagu samayn doonaa.

14 T herefore thus says the Lord God of hosts: Because you have spoken this word, behold, I will make My words fire in your mouth and this people wood, and it will devour them.

Oo sidaas daraaddeed Rabbiga ah Ilaaha ciidammadu wuxuu leeyahay, Erayadan aad ku hadasheen aawadood bal ogaada, ereyga afkaaga ku jira dab baan ka dhigi doonaa, oo dadkanna waxaan ka dhigi doonaa xaabo, oo isna wuu wada baabbi'in doonaa dhammaantood.

15 B ehold, I am bringing a nation upon you from afar, O house of Israel, says the Lord. It is a mighty and enduring nation, it is an ancient nation, a nation whose language you do not know, nor can you understand what they say.

Rabbigu wuxuu leeyahay, Dadka Israa'iilow, bal ogaada, quruun baan meel fog idinkaga keeni doonaa, oo taasu waa quruun xoog badan, oo waa quruun tan iyo waa hore jirtay, oo waa quruun aydaan afkeeda aqoon, oo aydaan innaba garanayn wax alla waxay yidhaahdaanba.

16 T heir quiver is like an open sepulcher are all mighty men (heroes).

Gabooyahoodu waa sida qabri af bannaan, oo kulligoodna waa wada rag xoog leh.

17 T hey shall consume your harvest and your food; they shall consume your sons and your daughters; they shall consume your flocks and your herds; they shall consume your vines and your fig trees. They shall break down and impoverish your fortified cities in which you trust, with the sword.

Oo iyagu waxay dhammayn doonaan waxaad beeraha ka goosataan iyo kibistiinna, oo waxay dhammayn doonaan wiilashiinna iyo gabdhihiinna, oo waxay dhammayn doonaan adhyihiinna iyo lo'diinnaba, oo waxay dhammayn doonaan canabkiinna iyo berdihiinnaba, oo magaalooyinkiinna deyrka leh oo aad isku hallaynaysaanna seef bay la dhici doonaan.

18 B ut even in those days, says the Lord, I will not make a full and complete end of you.

Oo Rabbigu wuxuu leeyahay, Habase ahaatee, anigu wakhtigaas idin wada baabbi'in maayo.

19 A nd when your people say, Why has the Lord our God done all these things to us? then you shall answer them, As you have forsaken Me, says the Lord, and have served strange gods in your land, so shall you serve strangers (gods) in a land that is not yours.

Oo markay yidhaahdaan, Rabbiga Ilaahayaga ahu bal muxuu waxyaalahan oo dhan noogu sameeyey? Kolkaas waxaad ku tidhaahdaa, Sidaad Rabbiga uga tagteen, oo aad ilaahyo qalaad dalkiinna ugu dhex adeegteen, sidaas oo kalaad shisheeyayaal ugu dhex adeegi doontaan dal aan kiinna ahayn.

20 D eclare this in the house of Jacob and publish it in Judah:

Waxan dadka Yacquub ka dhex sheega, oo dadka Yahuudah ka dhex naadiya, oo waxaad tidhaahdaan,

21 H ear now this, O foolish people without understanding or heart, who have eyes and see not, who have ears and hear not:

Dadka nacasyada ahu oo aan waxgarashada lahayn, oo indhaha leh laakiinse aan waxba arkin, oo dhegaha leh laakiinse aan waxba maqlinow, bal haatan waxan maqla:

22 D o you not fear and reverence Me? says the Lord. Do you not tremble before Me? I placed the sand for the boundary of the sea, a perpetual barrier beyond which it cannot pass and by an everlasting ordinance beyond which it cannot go? And though the waves of the sea toss and shake themselves, yet they cannot prevail; though roar, yet they cannot pass over that.

Rabbigu wuxuu leeyahay, War miyeydaan iga cabsanayn? Oo miyeydaan hortayda ku gariirayn? Waayo, anigu waxaan ahay kii cammuudda badda uga dhigay soohdinta, oo amar weligiis ah bixiyey inayan soo dhaafin, oo in kastoo ay mawjadaheedu aad u dhacaan, innaba kama ay adkaan karaan, oo in kastoo ay guuxaanna marna sooma ay dhaafi karaan.

23 B ut these people have hearts that draw back from God and wills that rebel against Him; they have revolted and quit His service and have gone away.

Laakiinse dadkanu waxay leeyihiin qalbi fallaagoobaya oo caasiyoobay, way fallaagoobeen oo way iska tageen.

24 N or do they say in their hearts, Let us now reverently fear and worship the Lord our God, Who gives rain, both the autumn and the spring rain in its season, Who reserves and keeps for us the appointed weeks of the harvest.

Oo innaba qalbigooda iskama ay yidhaahdaan, War haatan aynu ka cabsanno Rabbiga Ilaaheenna ah oo roobka hore iyo kan dambeba xilligiisa ina siiya, oo toddobaadyada beergoosashada loo go'ay inoo haya.

25 Y our iniquities have turned these blessings away, and your sins have kept good from you.

Xumaatooyinkiinna ayaa waxyaalahan idinka celiyey, oo dembiyadiinna ayaa waxyaalo wanwanaagsan idinka diiday.

26 F or among My people are found wicked men; they watch like fowlers who lie in wait; they set a trap, they catch men.

Waayo, dadkayga dhexdiisa waxaa laga helaa niman shar ah. Waxay u gabbadaan sida kuwa wax dabta, oo intay dabin u qoolaan ayay dad qabsadaan.

27 A s a cage is full of birds, so are their houses full of deceit and treachery; therefore they have become great and grown rich,

Sida qafas shimbirro ka buuxaan oo kale ayaa guryahooda khiyaano uga buuxdaa, oo sidaas daraaddeed ayay u weynaadeen oo u taajiroobeen.

28 T hey have grown fat and sleek. Yes, they surpass in deeds of wickedness; they do not judge and plead with justice the cause of the fatherless, that they may prosper, and they do not defend the rights of the needy.

Aad bay u buurnaadeen oo cayileen, oo xataa falimaha sharka ahna aad bay u badiyaan, ma garsooraan oo agoontana uma ay muddacaan si ay u barwaaqoobaan, oo masaakiintana xaqooda uma ay sameeyaan.

29 S hall I not punish them for these things? says the Lord. Shall I not avenge Myself on such a nation as this?

Haddaba Rabbigu wuxuu leeyahay, Miyaanan iyaga waxyaalahan u ciqaabayn? Miyaanse naftaydu ka aarsanayn quruuntii tan oo kale ah?

30 A n appalling and horrible thing has come to pass in the land:

Wax baas oo yaab miidhan ah ayaa dalka lagu dhex sameeyey.

31 T he prophets prophesy falsely, and the priests exercise rule at their own hands and by means of the prophets. And My people love to have it so! But what will you do when the end comes?

Nebiyadii waxay sii sheegaan wax been ah, oo wadaaddadiina waxay wax ku xukumaan iyaga taladooda, oo dadkaygiina saasay jecel yihiin, laakiinse bal maxaad ugudambaysta samayn doontaan?
