1 R ighteous art thou, O Jehovah, when I contend with thee; yet would I reason the cause with thee: wherefore doth the way of the wicked prosper? wherefore are all they at ease that deal very treacherously?

Rabbiyow, xaq baad tahay markaan kula muddaco, haddaba bal aan xukummadaada kaala hadlo. Sharrowyada jidkoodu bal muxuu u hagaagaa? Oo kuwa khiyaano kula macaamiloodo oo dhammuna bal maxay u nabdoon yihiin?

2 T hou hast planted them, yea, they have taken root; they grow, yea, they bring forth fruit: thou art near in their mouth, and far from their heart.

Iyagaad beertay, oo weliba xidid bay yeesheen, way koraan, oo midhay dhalaan. Adigu afkooda waad ku dhow dahay, laakiinse qalbigooda waad ka fog tahay.

3 B ut thou, O Jehovah, knowest me; thou seest me, and triest my heart toward thee: pull them out like sheep for the slaughter, and prepare them for the day of slaughter.

Laakiinse, Rabbiyow, adigu waad i taqaan, waanad i aragtaa, oo qalbigaygana xaggaagaad u tijaabisaa. Iyaga u soo bixi sida ido la gowracayo, oo u diyaari maalinta gowracidda.

4 H ow long shall the land mourn, and the herbs of the whole country wither? for the wickedness of them that dwell therein, the beasts are consumed, and the birds; because they said, He shall not see our latter end.

Ilaa goormuu dalku sii barooranayaa, oo uu waddanka oo dhan dooggiisu engegayaa? Xumaanta kuwa dhex deggan aawadeed ayaa xayawaankii iyo shimbirrihiiba wada baabbe'een, maxaa yeelay, dadku waxay yidhaahdeen, Isagu ugudambaystayada ma uu arki doono. Jawaabtii Ilaah

5 I f thou hast run with the footmen, and they have wearied thee, then how canst thou contend with horses? and though in a land of peace thou art secure, yet how wilt thou do in the pride of the Jordan?

Haddaad rag lug ah la orodday oo ay ku daaliyeen, haddaba bal sidee baad fardo ula tartami kartaa? Oo haddii lagugu daaliyo dalkii nabadda ahaa oo aad isku hallaynaysay, haddaba bal maxaad ku dhex samayn doontaa kibirka Webi Urdun?

6 F or even thy brethren, and the house of thy father, even they have dealt treacherously with thee; even they have cried aloud after thee: believe them not, though they speak fair words unto thee.

Waayo, xataa walaalaha iyo reerkii aabbahaaba khiyaano bay kugula macaamiloodeen, oo weliba aad bay kaaga soo daba qayliyeen. In kastoo ay erayo wanaagsan kugula hadlaan, ha rumaysan.

7 I have forsaken my house, I have cast off my heritage; I have given the dearly beloved of my soul into the hand of her enemies.

Anigu gurigaygii waan ka tegey, oo dhaxalkaygiina waan iska xooray, oo tii ay naftaydu aad u jeclaydna waxaan gacanta u geliyey cadaawayaasheedii.

8 M y heritage is become unto me as a lion in the forest: she hath uttered her voice against me; therefore I have hated her.

Tan dhaxalkaygii ahayd waxay igu noqotay sidii libaax kaynta ku jira oo kale, codkeeday kor iigu qaadday, oo sidaas daraaddeed waan nebcaaday.

9 I s my heritage unto me as a speckled bird of prey? are the birds of prey against her round about? go ye, assemble all the beasts of the field, bring them to devour.

Tan dhaxalkaygii ahayd waxay igu tahay xaad birdhicyo leh oo kale, oo xaadka hareereheeda ku wareegsan oo dhammuna waa ku col iyada. Taga oo xayawaanka duurka oo dhan soo wada ururiya, oo soo wada kaxeeya ha cuneene.

10 M any shepherds have destroyed my vineyard, they have trodden my portion under foot, they have made my pleasant portion a desolate wilderness.

Adhijirro badan ayaa beertaydii canabka ahayd baabbi'iyey, qaybtaydii cagta bay kula tunteen, oo qaybtaydii wanaagsanaydna waxay ka dhigeen lamadegaan cidla ah.

11 T hey have made it a desolation; it mourneth unto me, being desolate; the whole land is made desolate, because no man layeth it to heart.

Cidla bay ka dhigeen, oo iyadoo cidla ah ayay xaggayga u soo baroorataa. Dalkii oo dhan cidla waa laga dhigay, waayo, ninna dan kama galo.

12 D estroyers are come upon all the bare heights in the wilderness; for the sword of Jehovah devoureth from the one end of the land even to the other end of the land: no flesh hath peace.

Meelaha dhaadheer oo cidlada ku dhex yaal oo dhan waxaa ku soo kacay baabbi'iyayaashii, waayo, seefta Rabbiga ayaa wax ka baabbi'isa dalka darafkiisan iyo ilaa darafka kale inta ka dhex leh, oo binu-aadmiga oo dhan midnaba nabad ma leh.

13 T hey have sown wheat, and have reaped thorns; they have put themselves to pain, and profit nothing: and ye shall be ashamed of your fruits, because of the fierce anger of Jehovah.

Iyagu waxay beerteen sarreen, laakiinse qodxan bay soo goosteen, aad bay u daaleen, laakiinse innaba ma ay faa'iidaan. Waxaad ku ceeboobi doontaan midhaha aad goosanaysaan, waana Rabbiga cadhadiisa kulul aawadeed.

14 T hus saith Jehovah against all mine evil neighbors, that touch the inheritance which I have caused my people Israel to inherit: behold, I will pluck them up from off their land, and will pluck up the house of Judah from among them.

Derisyadayda sharka ah oo dhan oo taabta dhaxalkii aan dadkayga reer binu Israa'iil dhaxalsiiyey, Rabbigu wuxuu ka leeyahay, Bal ogaada, iyagaan dalka ka rujin doonaa, oo dadka Yahuudahna waan ka rujin doonaa dhexdooda.

15 A nd it shall come to pass, after that I have plucked them up, I will return and have compassion on them; and I will bring them again, every man to his heritage, and every man to his land.

Oo markaan iyaga rujiyo dabadeed waan soo noqon doonaa oo iyagaan u naxariisan doonaa, oo mar kalaan ku soo celin doonaa nin kasta dhaxalkiisii iyo dhulkiisii.

16 A nd it shall come to pass, if they will diligently learn the ways of my people, to swear by my name, As Jehovah liveth; even as they taught my people to swear by Baal; then shall they be built up in the midst of my people.

Oo hadday jidadka dadkayga aad u bartaan oo ay magacayga ku dhaartaan iyagoo leh, Rabbiga nool baannu ku dhaaranaynaa, xataa siday dadkayga u bareen inay Bacal ku dhaartaan, markaas iyagaa lagu dhisi doonaa dadkayga dhexdiisa.

17 B ut if they will not hear, then will I pluck up that nation, plucking up and destroying it, saith Jehovah.

Laakiinse Rabbigu wuxuu leeyahay, Hadday i dhegaysan waayaan, quruuntaas waan wada rujin doonaa, oo waan baabbi'in doonaa.
