1 D adkaygiiyow, sharcigayga dhegaysta, Oo dhegahana u dhiga erayada afkayga.

Give ear, O my people, to my law; incline your ears to the words of my mouth.

2 A fkayga waxaan ku furi doonaa masaal, Oo waxaan ku dhawaaqi doonaa xujooyin hore,

I will open my mouth in a parable; I will utter riddles from of old,

3 K uwaasoo aynu maqalnay oo aynu niqiin, Oo ay awowayaasheen inoo sheegeen.

Which we have heard and known, and our fathers have told us:

4 K a qarin mayno carruurtooda, Laakiin waxaynu farcanka soo socda u sheegaynaa Rabbiga ammaantiisa, Iyo xooggiisa, iyo shuqulladiisii yaabka badnaa oo uu sameeyey.

We will not hide from their sons, shewing forth to the generation to come the praises of Jehovah, and his strength, and his marvellous works which he hath done.

5 W aayo, markhaati buu reer Yacquub ka dhex dhisay, Oo sharci buu reer binu Israa'iil u dejiyey, Kaasoo uu ku amray awowayaasheen, Inay carruurtooda dambe ogeysiiyaan aawadeed,

For he established a testimony in Jacob, and appointed a law in Israel, which he commanded our fathers, that they should make them known to their children;

6 I yo in farcanka soo socdaa ay iyaga ogaadaan, kuwaasoo ah carruurta hadda ka dib dhalanaysa, Kuwaasoo iyana kici doona oo carruurtooda u sheegi doona,

That the generation to come might know, the children that should be born; that they might rise up and tell to their children,

7 I nay rajadooda Ilaah ku xidhaan, Oo aanay illoobin Ilaah shuqulladiisii, Laakiinse ay xajiyaan amarradiisa,

And that they might set their hope in God, and not forget the works of God, but observe his commandments;

8 O o aanay sidii awowayaashood oo kale noqon Farcan madax adag oo caasi badan, Kaasoo ah farcan aan qalbigoodu qummanayn, Oo naftooduna aanay xagga Ilaah aamin ku ahayn.

And might not be as their fathers, a stubborn and rebellious generation, a generation that prepared not their heart, and whose spirit was not stedfast with God.

9 R eer Efrayim iyagoo hub iyo qaansooyin sita Ayay maalintii dagaalka dib u noqdeen.

The sons of Ephraim, armed bowmen, turned back in the day of battle.

10 A xdigii Ilaah ma ay xajin, Oo waxay diideen inay sharcigiisii ku socdaan,

They kept not the covenant of God, and refused to walk in his law;

11 O o waxay illoobeen falimihiisa Iyo shuqulladiisii yaabka badnaa oo uu iyaga tusay.

And forgot his doings, and his marvellous works which he had shewn them.

12 W axyaalo yaab badan ayuu awowayaashood ku hor sameeyey, Markay joogeen dalkii Masar iyo berrinkii Socan.

In the sight of their fathers had he done wonders, in the land of Egypt, the field of Zoan.

13 I sagu badduu kala gooyay, oo iyagii dhex marsiiyey, Oo biyihiina wuxuu ka dhigay inay sidii taallo u taagnaadaan.

He clave the sea, and caused them to pass through; and made the waters to stand as a heap;

14 O o weliba maalinnimadii wuxuu ku hoggaamiyey daruur, Oo habeennimadii oo dhanna wuxuu ku hoggaamiyey dab iftiinkiis.

And he led them with a cloud in the daytime, and all the night with the light of fire.

15 W uxuu kala jebiyey dhagaxyadii cidlada, Oo wuxuu iyaga ka siiyey cabniin aad u badan oo ah sidii kan moolka laga helo.

He clave rocks in the wilderness, and gave drink as out of the depths, abundantly;

16 O o weliba wuxuu dhagaxa weyn ka soo faruuray durdurro, Oo wuxuu biyo u qulquliyey sidii webiyada oo kale.

And he brought streams out of the rock, and caused waters to run down like rivers.

17 L aakiinse iyagu weli way ku sii socdeen inay isaga ku dembaabaan, Inay ku caasiyoobaan Ilaaha ugu sarreeya intii ay cidladii joogeen.

Yet they still went on sinning against him, provoking the Most High in the desert;

18 O o weliba Ilaah waxay ku tijaabiyeen qalbigooda Kolkii ay hilib u weyddiisteen damacooda aawadiis.

And they tempted God in their heart, by asking meat for their lust;

19 O o Ilaah bay wax ka sheegeen, Oo waxay yidhaahdeen, Ilaah ma miis buu cidlada ku diyaarin karaa?

And they spoke against God: they said, Is God able to prepare a table in the wilderness?

20 B al eeg, dhagaxii ayuu wax ku dhuftay, markaasaa biyo ka soo buqdeen Oo durdurraa ka soo buuxdhaafay, Haddaba miyuu kibisna bixin karaa? Miyuu dadkiisa hilib siin karaa?

Behold, he smote the rock, and waters gushed out, and streams overflowed; is he able to give bread also, or provide flesh for his people?

21 S idaas daraaddeed Rabbigu taas buu maqlay, wuuna cadhooday, Oo reer Yacquub dab baa ku shidmay, Reer binu Israa'iilna cadhaa ku dhacday,

Therefore Jehovah heard, and was wroth; and fire was kindled against Jacob, and anger also went up against Israel:

22 M axaa yeelay, Ilaah ma ay rumaysan, Oo badbaadintiisana iskuma ay hallayn.

Because they believed not in God, and confided not in his salvation;

23 L aakiin isagu wuxuu amray cirka sare Oo albaabbadii samadana wuu furay;

Though he had commanded the clouds from above, and had opened the doors of the heavens,

24 O o wuxuu ku soo daayay maanna ay cunaan, Oo wuxuu iyagii wax ka siiyey hadhuudhkii samada.

And had rained down manna upon them to eat, and had given them the corn of the heavens.

25 D adkii waxay cuneen kibistii malaa'igaha, Oo weliba wuxuu iyaga u soo diray hilib ay ka dhergaan.

Man did eat the bread of the mighty; he sent them provision to the full.

26 I sagu wuxuu samada ka kiciyey dabaysha bari, Oo dabaysha koonfureedna xooggiisuu ku hoggaamiyey.

He caused the east wind to rise in the heavens, and by his strength he brought the south wind;

27 O o korkoodana hilib buu ugu soo daadiyey sidii ciidda oo kale, Oo wuxuu ku soo daayay haad baalal leh oo ah sidii cammuudda badaha,

And he rained flesh upon them as dust, and feathered fowl as the sand of the seas,

28 O o wuxuu ku soo daadiyey xeradooda dhexdeeda, Iyo rugahooda hareerahooda.

And he let it fall in the midst of their camp, round about their habitations:

29 S idaas daraaddeed iyagii way cuneen, oo aad bay uga dhergeen, Oo isna wuxuu iyagii siiyey wixii ay u jeellanaayeen.

And they did eat, and were well filled; for that they lusted after, he brought to them.

30 I yagu jeelkii damacooda kama ay xiisa dhicin, Oo cuntadoodii weli afkooday ku jirtay,

They were not alienated from their lust, their meat was yet in their mouths,

31 M arkii cadhada Ilaah ay iyaga ku dhacday, Oo ay dishay kuwii iyaga ugu buurbuurnaa, Oo ay laysay raggii dhallinyarada ahaa oo reer binu Israa'iil.

When the anger of God went up against them; and he slew the fattest of them, and smote down the chosen men of Israel.

32 I n kastoo waxyaalahaas oo dhammu ay ku dheceen, Weli way sii dembaabeen, Oo mana ay rumaysan shuqulladiisii yaabka badnaa.

For all this, they sinned still, and believed not in his marvellous works;

33 S idaas daraaddeed maalmahoodii wuxuu ku dhammeeyey wax aan waxtar lahayn, Cimrigoodiina cabsi.

And he consumed their days in vanity, and their years in terror.

34 M arkii uu iyaga laayay ayay isaga dooneen, Oo haddiiba way soo noqdeen oo Ilaah goor hore doondooneen.

When he slew them, then they sought him, and returned and sought early after God;

35 O o waxay xusuusteen in Ilaah ahaa dhagaxoodii weynaa, Iyo in Ilaaha ugu sarreeyaa uu ahaa Bixiyahooda.

And they remembered that God was their rock, and God, the Most High, their redeemer.

36 L aakiinse waxay isaga ku faansheen afkooda, Oo carrabkoodana been bay ugu sheegeen.

But they flattered him with their mouth, and lied unto him with their tongue;

37 W aayo, qalbigoodu xaggiisa kuma hagaagsanayn, Oo axdigiisiina daacad uma ay ahayn.

For their heart was not firm toward him, neither were they stedfast in his covenant.

38 L aakiinse isagoo raxmad miidhan ah ayuu xumaantoodii cafiyey, oo mana uu baabbi'in iyagii, Haah, oo marar badan ayuu cadhadiisii ka leexiyey, Oo cadhadiisii oo dhanna ma uu wada kicin.

But he was merciful: he forgave the iniquity, and destroyed not; but many a time turned he his anger away, and did not stir up all his fury:

39 O o wuxuu xusuustay inay iyagu yihiin binu-aadmi, Iyo dabayl iska gudubta oo aan mar dambe soo noqon.

And he remembered that they were flesh, a breath that passeth away and cometh not again.

40 I mmisa jeer bay isaga ku caasiyoobeen markay cidlada joogeen, Oo immisa jeer bay calool xumeeyeen markay lamadegaanka dhex joogeen!

How oft did they provoke him in the wilderness, and grieve him in the desert!

41 O o haddana way soo noqdeen oo waxay tijaabiyeen Ilaah, Oo waxay ka xanaajiyeen reer binu Israa'iil Kooda Quduuska ah.

And they turned again and tempted God, and grieved the Holy One of Israel.

42 S ooma ay xusuusan gacantiisii, Iyo maalintii uu iyaga ka soo furtay cadowga toona,

They remembered not his hand, the day when he delivered them from the oppressor,

43 I yo xataa siduu calaamooyinkiisii Masar ugu dhex sameeyey, Yaababkiisiina berrinkii Socan.

How he set his signs in Egypt, and his miracles in the field of Zoan;

44 I yo siduu webiyaashoodii dhiigga ugu beddelay, Durdurradoodiina, si aanay waxba uga cabbi karin.

And turned their rivers into blood, and their streams, that they could not drink;

45 W uxuu ku soo dhex daayay duqsiyo badan, wayna cuneen, Iyo xataa rahyo, oo iyana way baabbi'iyeen.

He sent dog-flies among them, which devoured them, and frogs, which destroyed them;

46 O o weliba wixii u baxay wuxuu siiyey diir, Oo waxay ku hawshoodeenna wuxuu siiyey ayax.

And he gave their increase unto the caterpillar, and their labour unto the locust;

47 G eedcanabkoodii wuxuu ku baabbi'iyey roobdhagaxyaale, Oo dhirtoodii darayga ahaydna wuxuu ku baabbi'iyey sayax barafoobay.

He killed their vines with hail, and their sycamore trees with hail-stones;

48 X oolahoodii wuxuu ku soo daayay roobdhagaxyaalaha, Adhyahoodiina danabyo kulul.

And he delivered up their cattle to the hail, and their flocks to thunderbolts.

49 O o wuxuu ku soo daayay kulaylkii cadhadiisa, Iyo xanaaq, iyo dhirif, iyo dhib, Iyo guuto ah malaa'igo shar ah.

He cast upon them the fierceness of his anger, wrath, and indignation, and distress,—a mission of angels of woes.

50 I sagu cadhadiisii wadduu u sameeyey, Oo naftoodiina dhimasho ugama uu lexejeclaan, Laakiinse noloshoodii wuxuu u daayay belaayada,

He made a way for his anger; he spared not their soul from death, but gave their life over to the pestilence;

51 O o wuxuu dalkii Masar ku laayay curadyadii oo dhan, Kuwaas oo ahaa xooggoodii u horreeyey oo uu ku dhex laayay teendhooyinkii Xaam,

And he smote all the firstborn in Egypt, the first-fruits of their vigour in the tents of Ham.

52 L aakiinse isagu dadkiisii sidii ido oo kale ayuu u hor kacay, Oo cidladuu ku dhex hoggaamiyey iyaga sidii adhi oo kale.

And he made his own people to go forth like sheep, and guided them in the wilderness like a flock;

53 O o ammaan buu ku hoggaamiyey, si aanay u baqin, Laakiinse cadaawayaashoodii baddaa qarqisay.

And he led them safely, so that they were without fear; and the sea covered their enemies.

54 O o wuxuu iyagii keenay xuduudkii meeshiisa quduuska ah, Iyo ilaa buurtan ay midigtiisu iibsatay.

And he brought them to his holy border, this mountain, which his right hand purchased;

55 O o weliba hortoodana wuxuu ka eryay quruumaha, Oo dhaxal ahaan buu ugu qaybiyey. Oo qabiilooyinkii reer binu Israa'iilna wuxuu dejiyey teendhooyinkoodii.

And he drove out the nations before them, and allotted them for an inheritance by line, and made the tribes of Israel to dwell in their tents.

56 L aakiin way jirrabeen oo ku caasiyoobeen Ilaaha ugu sarreeya, Oo markhaatifurkiisiina ma ay xajin,

But they tempted and provoked God, the Most High, and kept not his testimonies,

57 L aakiinse dib bay u noqdeen, oo sidii awowayaashood ayay si aan daacad ahayn ula dhaqmeen, Oo iyagu waxay u leexdeen sidii qaanso khiyaano badan.

And they drew back and dealt treacherously like their fathers: they turned like a deceitful bow.

58 W aayo, waxay isaga kaga xanaajiyeen meelahoodii sarsare, Oo waxay isaga uga hinaasiyeen sanamyadooda la qoray.

And they provoked him to anger with their high places, and moved him to jealousy with their graven images.

59 I laah markuu taas maqlay ayuu cadhooday, Oo aad buu reer binu Israa'iil u karhay,

God heard, and was wroth, and greatly abhorred Israel:

60 S idaas daraaddeed taambuuggii Shiiloh wuu dayriyey, Kaasoo ah teendhadii uu dadka dhex dhigay,

And he forsook the tabernacle at Shiloh, the tent where he had dwelt among men,

61 O o xooggiisii wuxuu u gacangeliyey maxaabiisnimo, Ammaantiisiina wuxuu ku riday cadowga gacantiisii.

And gave his strength into captivity, and his glory into the hand of the oppressor;

62 D adkiisiina wuxuu u gacangeliyey seef, Oo wuxuu u cadhooday dhaxalkiisii.

And delivered up his people unto the sword, and was very wroth with his inheritance:

63 R aggoodii dhallinyarada ahaa dab baa laastay, Gabdhahoodiina buraanbur aroos looma tirin.

The fire consumed their young men, and their maidens were not praised in song;

64 W adaaddadoodii waxay ku dhinteen seef, Carmalladoodiina uma ay barooran.

Their priests fell by the sword, and their widows made no lamentation.

65 M arkaasaa Sayidku wuxuu u kacay sidii mid hurdo ka toosay, Sidii nin xoog badan oo la qaylinaya khamri daraaddiis.

Then the Lord awoke as one out of sleep, like a mighty man that shouteth aloud by reason of wine;

66 C adaawayaashiisiina wuu ku dhuftay oo dib buu u celiyey, Oo wuxuu saaray ceeb aan weligeed ka hadhayn.

And he smote his adversaries in the hinder part, and put them to everlasting reproach.

67 O o weliba wuu diiday teendhadii reer Yuusuf, Qabiilkii reer Efrayimna ma uu dooran,

And he rejected the tent of Joseph, and chose not the tribe of Ephraim,

68 L aakiinse wuxuu doortay qabiilkii reer Yahuudah, Iyo Buur Siyoon oo uu jeclaaday.

But chose the tribe of Judah, the mount Zion which he loved;

69 O o meeshiisii quduuska ahayd wuxuu u dhisay sidii meelaha sare, Iyo sidii dhulka uu weligiis adkeeyey.

And he built his sanctuary like the heights, like the earth which he hath founded for ever.

70 W uxuuna doortay addoonkiisii Daa'uud, Oo wuxuu isaga ka soo waday xeryaha idaha,

And he chose David his servant, and took him from the sheepfolds:

71 W uxuu ka soo waday laxihii ilmo nuujinayay oo uu raacayay, Inuu daajiyo reer Yacquub oo dadkiisa ah, iyo reer binu Israa'iil oo dhaxalkiisa ah.

From following the suckling-ewes, he brought him to feed Jacob his people, and Israel his inheritance.

72 H addaba wuxuu u daajinayay si waafaqsan daacadnimada qalbigiisa, Oo wuxuu ku hoggaaminayay farsamada gacmihiisa.

And he fed them according to the integrity of his heart, and led them by the skilfulness of his hands.
