1 H addaba bisha afar iyo labaatankeedii ayaa reer binu Israa'iil soo shireen iyagoo sooman oo dhar joonyad ah guntan oo ciid isku shubay.

Now on the twenty-fourth day of this month the sons of Israel assembled with fasting, in sackcloth and with dirt upon them.

2 M arkaasaa farcankii reer binu Israa'iil waxay iska sooceen dad qalaad oo dhan, oo intay istaageen ayay qirteen dembiyadoodii iyo xumaatooyinkii awowayaashood.

The descendants of Israel separated themselves from all foreigners, and stood and confessed their sins and the iniquities of their fathers.

3 K olkaasay meeshoodii istaageen oo akhriyeen kitaabkii sharciga Rabbiga Ilaahooda ah intii maalin rubuceed ah; oo haddana rubuc kale ayay wax qirteen, wayna u sujuudeen Rabbiga Ilaahooda ah.

While they stood in their place, they read from the book of the law of the Lord their God for a fourth of the day; and for another fourth they confessed and worshiped the Lord their God.

4 M arkaasaa darajadii reer Laawi waxaa ku kor istaagay Yeeshuuca, iyo Baanii, iyo Qadmii'eel, iyo Shebanyaah, iyo Bunnii, iyo Sheereebyaah, iyo Baanii, iyo Kenaanii, oo cod weyn ayay ugu qayshadeen Rabbiga Ilaahooda ah.

Now on the Levites’ platform stood Jeshua, Bani, Kadmiel, Shebaniah, Bunni, Sherebiah, Bani and Chenani, and they cried with a loud voice to the Lord their God.

5 M arkaasaa kuwii reer Laawi oo ahaa Yeeshuuca, iyo Qadmii'eel, iyo Baanii, iyo Xashabneyaah, iyo Sheereebyaah, iyo Hoodiyaah, iyo Shebanyaah, iyo Fetaxyaah, waxay dadkii ku yidhaahdeen, War istaaga oo Rabbiga Ilaahiinna ah ammaana weligiis iyo weligiis, oo waxay yidhaahdeen, Magacaaga ammaanta badan ha la ammaano, kaasoo ka wada sarreeya kulli mahad iyo ammaan oo dhan.

Then the Levites, Jeshua, Kadmiel, Bani, Hashabneiah, Sherebiah, Hodiah, Shebaniah and Pethahiah, said, “Arise, bless the Lord your God forever and ever! O may Your glorious name be blessed And exalted above all blessing and praise!

6 A digaa Rabbiga ah oo keligaa baa ah. Waxaad samaysay samada, taasoo ah samada samooyinka, iyo ciidankooda oo dhan, iyo dhulka iyo waxa kor jooga oo dhan, iyo badaha iyo waxa ku jira oo dhan, dhammaantood adigaa sii nooleeya, oo ciidanka samaduna adigay kuu sujuudaan.

“ You alone are the Lord. You have made the heavens, The heaven of heavens with all their host, The earth and all that is on it, The seas and all that is in them. You give life to all of them And the heavenly host bows down before You.

7 A digaa ah Rabbiga Ilaaha ah oo Aabraam doortay, oo isaga ka soo bixiyey Uur tii reer Kaldayiin, oo u bixiyey magaca Ibraahim la yidhaahdo,

“You are the Lord God, Who chose Abram And brought him out from Ur of the Chaldees, And gave him the name Abraham.

8 o o dabadeedna ogaaday in qalbigiisu hortaada aamin ku yahay, oo isagii axdi kula dhigtay inaad isaga siinaysid dalka reer Kancaan, iyo reer Xeed, iyo reer Amor, iyo reer Feris, iyo reer Yebuus, iyo reer Girgaash, xataa inaad dalkaas siinaysid farcankiisa; oo erayadaadiina waad oofisay, maxaa yeelay, xaq baad tahay.

“You found his heart faithful before You, And made a covenant with him To give him the land of the Canaanite, Of the Hittite and the Amorite, Of the Perizzite, the Jebusite and the Girgashite— To give it to his descendants. And You have fulfilled Your promise, For You are righteous.

9 A digu waxaad aragtay dhibkii awowayaashayo dalka Masar ku qabeen, waanad maqashay qayladoodii ay Badda Cas agteeda ka qaysheen;

“ You saw the affliction of our fathers in Egypt, And heard their cry by the Red Sea.

10 o o weliba Fircoon iyo addoommadiisii oo dhan, iyo kulli dadkii dalkiisa oo dhan waxaad tustay calaamooyin iyo yaabab, waayo, waad ogayd inay iyaga ku kibreen, oo halkaas magac baad ku heeshay siday maanta tahay.

“Then You performed signs and wonders against Pharaoh, Against all his servants and all the people of his land; For You knew that they acted arrogantly toward them, And made a name for Yourself as it is this day.

11 O o iyagii hortood ayaad baddii kala qaybisay, oo waxay mareen badda dhexdeedii, oo dhul engegan bay ku socdeen, oo kuwii iyaga eryanayayna sidii dhagax biyo xoog badan lagu dhex riday ayaad moolka ugu tuurtay.

“ You divided the sea before them, So they passed through the midst of the sea on dry ground; And their pursuers You hurled into the depths, Like a stone into raging waters.

12 O o weliba maalintii waxaad ku hoggaamisay tiir daruur ah, habeenkiina tiir dab ah, si aad ugu iftiimiso jidkii ay marayeen.

“And with a pillar of cloud You led them by day, And with a pillar of fire by night To light for them the way In which they were to go.

13 W axaad weliba ku soo kor degtay Buur Siinay, oo iyagaad kala hadashay xagga samada, oo waxaad siisay xukummo qumman, iyo sharciyaal xaq ah, iyo qaynuunno wanwanaagsan, iyo amarro,

“Then You came down on Mount Sinai, And spoke with them from heaven; You gave them just ordinances and true laws, Good statutes and commandments.

14 o o waxaad ogeysiisay Sabtidaada quduuska ah, oo ku amartay amarro, iyo qaynuunno, iyo sharci aad ugu soo dhiibtay addoonkaagii Muuse.

“So You made known to them Your holy sabbath, And laid down for them commandments, statutes and law, Through Your servant Moses.

15 O o kibis ay ku gaajo baxaan baad samada ka siisay, biyo ay ku oon baxaanna dhagax baad uga soo daysay, oo waxaad ku amartay inay galaan oo hantiyaan dalkii aad ku dhaaratay inaad siinaysid.

“You provided bread from heaven for them for their hunger, You brought forth water from a rock for them for their thirst, And You told them to enter in order to possess The land which You swore to give them.

16 L aakiinse iyagii iyo awowayaashayaba way kibreen, oo luquntay adkeeyeen, oo amarradaadiina ma ay maqlin,

“But they, our fathers, acted arrogantly; They became stubborn and would not listen to Your commandments.

17 w ayna diideen inay addeecaan, kamana ay fiirsan yaababkaagii aad dhexdooda ku samaysay, laakiinse luquntay adkeeyeen, oo iyagoo caasi ah ayay sirkaal doorteen inay addoonnimadoodii ku noqdaan; laakiinse adigu waxaad tahay Ilaah diyaar u ah inuu wax cafiyo, waxaanad tahay nimco miidhan, oo waxaa kaa buuxda raxmad, cadho waad u gaabisaa, naxariisna hodan baad ka tahay, oo iyagiina ma aadan dayrin.

“They refused to listen, And did not remember Your wondrous deeds which You had performed among them; So they became stubborn and appointed a leader to return to their slavery in Egypt. But You are a God of forgiveness, Gracious and compassionate, Slow to anger and abounding in lovingkindness; And You did not forsake them.

18 O o xataa markay samaysteen weyl dahab la shubay ah, oo ay isku yidhaahdeen, Kanu waa Ilaahaagii kaa soo bixiyey dalkii Masar; oo ay aad kaaga dhirfiyeen,

“Even when they made for themselves A calf of molten metal And said, ‘This is your God Who brought you up from Egypt,’ And committed great blasphemies,

19 d e weliba naxariistaada badan aawadeed iyagii kuma aadan dayrin cidladii. Maalinnimadii tiirkii daruurta ahaa kama uu tegin iyagii si uu jidka ugu hoggaamiyo, oo tiirkii dabka ahaana habeennimadii kama uu tegin si uu iftiin ugu noqdo oo uu jidkii ay mari lahaayeen ugu muujiyo.

You, in Your great compassion, Did not forsake them in the wilderness; The pillar of cloud did not leave them by day, To guide them on their way, Nor the pillar of fire by night, to light for them the way in which they were to go.

20 O o weliba waxaad siisay ruuxaagii wanaagsanaa inuu iyagii wax baro, oo afkoodana kama aadan joojin maannadaadii, biyo ay ka oon baxaanna waad siisay.

“ You gave Your good Spirit to instruct them, Your manna You did not withhold from their mouth, And You gave them water for their thirst.

21 H aah, afartan sannadood ayaad iyaga cidlada ku xannaanaynaysay, oo waxba uma ayan baahan, dharkoodiina kama uusan duugoobin, cagahoodiina ma ayan bararin.

“Indeed, forty years You provided for them in the wilderness and they were not in want; Their clothes did not wear out, nor did their feet swell.

22 O o weliba waxaad iyaga siisay oo saami ugu qaybisay boqortooyooyin iyo dadyow kale, oo sidaasay u hantiyeen dalkii Siixon oo ahaa boqorkii Xeshboon, iyo dalkii Coog oo ahaa boqorkii Baashaan.

“You also gave them kingdoms and peoples, And allotted them to them as a boundary. They took possession of the land of Sihon the king of Heshbon And the land of Og the king of Bashan.

23 O o carruurtoodiina waxaad u badisay sida xiddigaha samada oo kale, oo iyagii waxaad keentay dalkii aad awowayaashood ku tidhi, Iyagu waa inay galaan si ay u hantiyaan.

“You made their sons numerous as the stars of heaven, And You brought them into the land Which You had told their fathers to enter and possess.

24 M arkaasay carruurtii dalkii galeen oo hantiyeen, oo waxaad ka hoosaysiisay dadkii dalka degganaa oo ahaa reer Kancaan, waanad gelisay gacmahoodii, iyagii iyo boqorradoodii iyo dadyowgii dalka degganaaba, inay iyaga ku sameeyaan wax alla waxay doonayaan.

“ So their sons entered and possessed the land. And You subdued before them the inhabitants of the land, the Canaanites, And You gave them into their hand, with their kings and the peoples of the land, To do with them as they desired.

25 O o waxay qabsadeen magaalooyin deyr leh iyo dal barwaaqo leh, oo waxay hantiyeen guryo ay ka buuxaan wax kasta oo wanaagsanu, iyo berkedo qodan, iyo beero canab ah, iyo beero saytuun ah, iyo geedo midho leh oo faro badan. Haddaba wax bay cuneen oo dhergeen, wayna cayileen, oo waxay ku farxeen wanaaggaaga weyn.

“ They captured fortified cities and a fertile land. They took possession of houses full of every good thing, Hewn cisterns, vineyards, olive groves, Fruit trees in abundance. So they ate, were filled and grew fat, And reveled in Your great goodness.

26 H abase yeeshee way dhega adkaadeen oo kaa caasiyoobeen; sharcigaagiina gadaashooday ku tuureen, oo waxay dileen nebiyadaadii iyaga ku markhaati furay oo doonayay inay mar kale kuu soo celiyaan, oo aad bay kaaga dhirfiyeen.

“ But they became disobedient and rebelled against You, And cast Your law behind their backs And killed Your prophets who had admonished them So that they might return to You, And they committed great blasphemies.

27 S idaas daraaddeed waxaad gacanta u gelisay cadaawayaashoodii, oo iyana way dhibeen; oo markii ay dhibtoodeen oo ay kuu qayshadeen, samadaad ka maqashay; oo naxariistaada badan aawadeed waxaad siisay badbaadshayaal cadaawayaashooda ka badbaadshay.

“Therefore You delivered them into the hand of their oppressors who oppressed them, But when they cried to You in the time of their distress, You heard from heaven, and according to Your great compassion You gave them deliverers who delivered them from the hand of their oppressors.

28 L aakiin markay nasteen ayay wax shar ah hortaada ku sameeyeen, oo sidaas daraaddeed waxaad u daysay gacantii cadaawayaashooda, oo iyana way addoonsadeen iyagii; illowse markay kuu soo noqdeen oo ay kuu qayshadeen, samadaad ka maqashay; oo marar badan ayaad naxariistaada aawadeed ku samatabbixisay;

“But as soon as they had rest, they did evil again before You; Therefore You abandoned them to the hand of their enemies, so that they ruled over them. When they cried again to You, You heard from heaven, And many times You rescued them according to Your compassion,

29 o o aad ku markhaati furtay, si aad mar kale sharcigaaga ugu soo celiso; laakiinse way kugu kibreen oo amarradaadiina ma ay maqlin, illowse xukummadaadii way ku dembaabeen, (kaasoo haddii nin sameeyo uu ku dhex noolaan lahaa,) oo intay kaa jeesteen ayay luqunta adkeeyeen, wayna diideen inay maqlaan.

And admonished them in order to turn them back to Your law. Yet they acted arrogantly and did not listen to Your commandments but sinned against Your ordinances, By which if a man observes them he shall live. And they turned a stubborn shoulder and stiffened their neck, and would not listen.

30 O o weliba sannado badan baad u dulqaadatay, oo Ruuxaaga ayaad ugu markhaati furtay adigoo nebiyadaadii ka dhex hadlaya; laakiinse dheg uma ayan dhigin, oo sidaas daraaddeed waxaad gelisay gacantii dadyowgii dalka degganaa.

“ However, You bore with them for many years, And admonished them by Your Spirit through Your prophets, Yet they would not give ear. Therefore You gave them into the hand of the peoples of the lands.

31 H abase yeeshee naxariistaada badan aawadeed dhammaantood ma aadan wada baabbi'in, mana aadan dayrin, maxaa yeelay, waxaad tahay Ilaah raxmad iyo naxariis badan.

“Nevertheless, in Your great compassion You did not make an end of them or forsake them, For You are a gracious and compassionate God.

32 H addaba sidaas daraaddeed Ilaahayaga weyn, oo Qaadirka ah, oo laga cabsado, oo xajiya axdiga iyo naxariistow, dhibkan oo dhammu yuusan wax yar kula ekaan, kaasoo ku soo kor degay annaga, iyo boqorradayadii, iyo amiirradayadii, iyo wadaaddadayadii, iyo nebiyadayadii, iyo awowayaashayadii, iyo dadkaagii oo dhan, tan iyo wakhtigii boqorradii Ashuur iyo ilaa maantadan la joogo.

“Now therefore, our God, the great, the mighty, and the awesome God, who keeps covenant and lovingkindness, Do not let all the hardship seem insignificant before You, Which has come upon us, our kings, our princes, our priests, our prophets, our fathers and on all Your people, From the days of the kings of Assyria to this day.

33 S i kastaba ha ahaatee xaq baad ku tahay waxa nagu dhacay oo dhan, maxaa yeelay, run baad ku socotay, annaguse shar baannu samaynay,

“However, You are just in all that has come upon us; For You have dealt faithfully, but we have acted wickedly.

34 o o boqorradayadii, iyo amiirradayadii, iyo wadaaddadayadii, iyo awowayaashayadii toona ma ay dhawrin sharcigaagii, mana ay dhegaysan amarradaadii iyo markhaatifurkaagii aad ugu marag furtay.

“For our kings, our leaders, our priests and our fathers have not kept Your law Or paid attention to Your commandments and Your admonitions with which You have admonished them.

35 W aayo, boqortooyadoodii kuuguma ay adeegin wanaaggaagii weynaa oo aad siisay aawadiis, iyo dalka ballaadhan oo barwaaqaysan oo aad hortooda dhigtay aawadiis, oo kamana ay soo noqon shuqulladoodii sharka ahaa.

“But they, in their own kingdom, With Your great goodness which You gave them, With the broad and rich land which You set before them, Did not serve You or turn from their evil deeds.

36 B al eeg, annagu maanta waxaannu nahay addoommo, oo dalkii aad awowayaashayo u siisay inay midhihiisa iyo wanaaggiisa cunaan, bal eeg, annagu dhexdiisaannu addoommo ku nahaye.

“Behold, we are slaves today, And as to the land which You gave to our fathers to eat of its fruit and its bounty, Behold, we are slaves in it.

37 O o bal eeg, wuxuu midho badan u dhalaa boqorradii aad korkayaga ka yeeshay dembigayaga aawadiis; oo weliba waxay ugu taliyaan jidhkayaga iyo xoolahayagaba siday doonayaan, oo annana cidhiidhi weyn baannu ku jirnaa. Axdigii Dadka

“ Its abundant produce is for the kings Whom You have set over us because of our sins; They also rule over our bodies And over our cattle as they please, So we are in great distress. A Covenant Results

38 O o weliba waxaas oo dhan aawadood waxaannu kula dhiganaynaa axdi daacad ah, waannuna qoraynaa, oo waxaa shaabad ku dhammaynaya amiirradayada, iyo kuwayaga reer Laawi, iyo wadaaddadayada.

“ Now because of all this We are making an agreement in writing; And on the sealed document are the names of our leaders, our Levites and our priests.”
