1 W hen Ephraim spoke, men shook in fear. He was honored in Israel. But he sinned by worshiping Baal, and 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. They make false gods for themselves. Their able workmen make them out of silver. And they say, “Let the men who give gifts in worship kiss the calf-gods!”

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 S o they will be like the morning cloud, and like the water on the grass in the early morning which is soon gone. They will be like the dust of the grain that is blown away from the grain-floor, and like smoke from a fire.

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 “ I am the Lord your God Who brought you out of Egypt. You were not to know any god but Me, for there is no one who can save you but 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 cared for you in the desert, in the land where there was no water.

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

6 W hen I fed them, they were filled. And when they were filled, their heart became proud and they forgot Me.

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

7 S o I will be like a lion to them. I will lie in wait by the road like a leopard.

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

8 I will fight them like a bear robbed of her young ones. I will tear open their chests. I will eat them there like a female lion, and tear them like a wild animal.

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 will destroy you, O Israel, because you are against Me, against your Helper.

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

10 W here is your king, that he may save you? Where are your rulers in all your cities, of whom you said, ‘Give me a king and leaders’?

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

11 I gave you a king in My anger, and in My anger I took him away.

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

12 “ The wrong-doing of Ephraim is being kept. His sin is being stored up.

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

13 T he pains like a woman giving birth will come upon him, but he is not a wise son. He is not willing to be born.

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 I will pay the price to free them from the power of the grave. I will save them from death. O Death, where are your thorns? O Grave, where is your power to destroy? I will have no loving-pity.

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 “ Even if he grows among his brothers, an east wind will come. The wind of the Lord will come from the desert. And his well will dry up. His water will be gone. It will take away everything of much worth.

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 will suffer for her guilt, for she has not wanted to obey her God. They will be killed by the sword. Their little ones will be crushed in pieces. And their women who are soon to give birth will be torn open.”

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.
