1 W hen Ephraim spoke with trembling, he exalted himself in Israel; but when he offended and became guilty in Baal worship, he died.

Markii reer Efrayim hadleen waxaa jiray gariir, oo dalka Israa'iil ayay isku dhex sarraysiiyeen, laakiinse markay Bacal ku gardarnaadeen ayay dhinteen.

2 A nd now they sin more and more and have made for themselves molten images of their silver, even idols according to their own understanding, all of them the work of the craftsmen. To these they speak or pray who sacrifice to them; they kiss and show homage to the calves!

Oo haatan aad bay u sii dembaabaan, oo waxay lacagtooda ka samaysteen taswiiro la shubay kuwaasoo ah xataa sanamyo ay u samaysteen sida ay waxgarashadoodu tahay, oo dhammaantoodna waxaa weeye nin saanac ah sancadiis, oo waxay ka sheegaan, Dadka allabariga bixiya weylaha sanamyada ah ha dhunkadeen.

3 T herefore they shall be like the morning mist or like the dew that passes early away, like the chaff that swirls with the whirlwind from the threshing floor and as the smoke out of the chimney or through the window.

Haddaba sidaas daraaddeed waxay noqon doonaan sida daruurta subaxnimo, iyo sida sayaxa aroor hore baabba'a, iyo sida buunshaha dabayshu ka kaxayso goobta hadhuudhka lagu tumo, iyo sida qiiqa sholadda ka baxa.

4 Y et I am the Lord your God from the land of Egypt, and you shall know or recognize no God but Me, for there is no Savior besides Me.

Laakiinse anigu waxaan ahay Rabbiga Ilaahiinna ah oo idinka soo bixiyey dalkii Masar, oo waa inaydaan aqoonsan ilaah kale aniga mooyaane, oo badbaadiye kale ma jiro innaba aniga mooyaane.

5 I knew (recognized, understood, and had regard for) you in the wilderness, in the land of great drought.

Anigu waan idin iqiin markii aad dhex joogteen cidladii ahayd dalka abaarta badan.

6 A ccording to their pasture, so were they filled, and their heart was lifted up; therefore have they forgotten Me.

Markii ay wax daaqeen ayay dhergeen, oo markay dhergeen dabadeed ayaa qalbigoodii kor u kacay, haddaba sidaas daraaddeed bay ii illoobeen.

7 T herefore I have become to them like a lion; like a leopard I will lurk by the way and watch them.

Sidaas daraaddeed waxaan iyaga ku ahay sida libaax oo kale, oo sida shabeel ayaan jidka ku ag dhawri doonaa.

8 I will meet them like a bear that is robbed of her cubs, and I will rend the covering of their heart, and there will I devour them like a lioness, as a wild beast would tear them.

Oo waxaan iyaga uga hor iman doonaa sida orso gabneheedii laga gablamiyey, oo waxaan jeexjeexi doonaa xuubkii wadnahooda, oo halkaasaan iyaga ku baabbi'in doonaa sidii gool libaax oo kale, oo waxaa iyaga dildillaacsan doona dugaagga.

9 I t is your destruction, O Israel, that you have been against Me, for in Me is your help.

Dadka Israa'iilow, baabbi'inna waxaa sabab u ah cadownimada aad ii qabtaan anoo caawiyihiinna ah.

10 W here now is your king that he may save you in all your cities? And your judges of whom you said, Give me a king and princes?

Haddaba magaalooyinkiinna oo dhan ha idinku badbaadiyee meeh boqorkiinnii? Oo meeye xaakinnadiinnii aad ka tidhaahdeen, Na sii boqor iyo amiirro?

11 I have given you a king in My anger, and I have taken him away in My wrath.

Anigoo xanaaqsan ayaan boqor idin siiyey, oo haddana anigoo cadhaysan ayaan idinka qaaday.

12 T he iniquity of Ephraim is bound up; his sin is laid up in store.

Xumaantii reer Efrayim waa xidhxidhan tahay, oo dembigoodiina meel baa lagu kaydiyey.

13 T he pains of a woman in childbirth are coming on for him; but he is an unwise son, for now when it is time, he comes not to the place where children break forth.

Oo waxaa iyaga ku soo kor degi doonta murugtii naag foolanaysa. Iyagu waa sida wiil aan caqli lahayn, waayo, haatan waa wakhtigii uusan ku sii raagin meeshii carruurtu ka soo dhalan jireen.

14 S hould I ransom them from the power of Sheol (the place of the dead)? Should I redeem them from death? O death, where are your plagues? O Sheol, where is your destruction? Relenting and compassion are hidden from My eyes.

Anigu waxaan iyaga ka soo furan doonaa xoogga She'oolka, oo waxaan ka soo badbaadin doonaa dhimashada. Dhimashoy, meeye belaayooyinkaagii? She'oolow, meeday baabbi'intaadii? Toobaddu indhahayga way ka qarsoonaan doontaa.

15 F or though among his brethren he may be fruitful, an east wind will come, the breath of the Lord rising from the desert; and Ephraim’s spring shall become dry and his fountain be dried up. shall plunder his treasury of every precious vessel.

In kastoo uu walaalihiis dhexdooda ku dhal badan yahay, waxaa iman doonta dabayl bari ka timid, taasoo ah neefta Rabbiga oo cidlada ka soo baxaysa, oo ishiisa biyood way engegi doontaa, oo durdurkiisuna wuu iska gudhi doonaa, oo waa laga wada dhici doonaa khasnadda alaabta qaaliga ahu ugu jirto.

16 S amaria shall bear her guilt and become desolate, for she rebelled against her God; they shall fall by the sword, their infants shall be dashed in pieces, and their pregnant women shall be ripped up.

Reer Samaariya gardarradooda way qaadi doonaan, waayo, way ku caasiyowdeen Ilaahoodii. Seef baa lagu layn doonaa, dhallaankoodana dhulkaa lagu tuuri doonaa, oo naagahooda uurka lehna waa la dooxi doonaa.
