1 K anu waa warka culus ee Baabuloon ku saabsan oo uu Ishacyaah ina Aamoos arkay.

The burden of Babylon, which Isaiah the son of Amoz saw:

2 B uurta dheer calan ka taaga, codkana iyaga kor ugu qaada, oo u gacanhaadiya inay irdaha kuwa gobta ah galaan.

Set up a banner on the bare mountain! Lift up your voice to them! Wave your hand, that they may go into the gates of the nobles.

3 W axaan amray kuwaygii gooni la iigu dhigay, oo weliba waxaan cadhadayda aawadeed ugu yeedhay kuwayga xoogga badan, waxaana weeye kuwa sarrayntayda ku reyreeya.

I have commanded my consecrated ones; yes, I have called my mighty men for my anger, even my proudly exulting ones.

4 W axaa la maqlayaa bulxanka dadka badan oo buuraha ka yeedhaya sida dad fara badan! Waxaana la maqlayaa buuqa boqortooyooyinkii quruumaha isa soo wada urursaday! Rabbiga ciidammadu wuxuu soo ururinayaa ciidanka dagaalka.

The noise of a multitude is in the mountains, as of a great people; the noise of an uproar of the kingdoms of the nations gathered together! Yahweh of Armies is mustering the army for the battle.

5 W axay ka imanayaan waddan fog iyo samada darafka ugu shisheeya inay dalka oo dhan baabbi'iyaan, waana Rabbiga iyo hubkii dhirifkiisaba.

They come from a far country, from the uttermost part of heaven, even Yahweh, and the weapons of his indignation, to destroy the whole land.

6 B aroorta, waayo, maalintii Rabbigu way dhow dahay, oo waxay u iman doontaa sida baabbi'in xagga Ilaaha Qaadirka ah ka timid.

Wail; for the day of Yahweh is at hand! It will come as destruction from the Almighty.

7 H addaba sidaas daraaddeed gacmo oo dhammu way taag gabi doonaan, oo nin kastaba qalbigiisu wuu dhalaali doonaa.

Therefore all hands will be feeble, and everyone’s heart will melt.

8 W ayna nixi doonaan, oo waxaa qaban doona xanuun iyo murug, oo waxay u xanuunsan doonaan sida naag foolanaysa. Oo midkoodba kan kaluu la yaabi doonaa, oo wejigooduna wuxuu noqon doonaa sida olol oo kale.

They will be dismayed. Pangs and sorrows will seize them. They will be in pain like a woman in labor. They will look in amazement one at another. Their faces will be faces of flame.

9 B al eega, maalinta Rabbigu way imanaysaa iyadoo nac weyn oo ka buuxda cadho iyo xanaaq kulul si dhulka cidla looga dhigo oo dembilayaasha oo dhan dhexdiisa looga baabbi'iyo.

Behold, the day of Yahweh comes, cruel, with wrath and fierce anger; to make the land a desolation, and to destroy its sinners out of it.

10 W aayo, xiddigaha samada iyo ururkooduba ma iftiimi doonaan. Qorraxduna way madoobaan doontaa markii ay soo baxdo, oo dayaxuna ma iftiimi doono.

For the stars of the sky and its constellations will not give their light. The sun will be darkened in its going out, and the moon will not cause its light to shine.

11 O o dunida sharkeeda aawadiis ayaan u ciqaabi doonaa, oo kuwa sharka lehna xumaantooda aawadeed ayaan u ciqaabi doonaa, oo kuwa kibrana kibirkooda waan joojin doonaa, oo kuwa laga cabsadona madaxweynaantooda hoos baan u soo dejin doonaa.

I will punish the world for their evil, and the wicked for their iniquity. I will cause the arrogance of the proud to cease, and will humble the haughtiness of the terrible.

12 W axaan dadka ka dhigi doonaa wax dhif ah oo ka qaalisan dahabka wanaagsan, oo binu-aadmigana waxaan ka dhigi doonaa wax aan badnayn sida dahabka saafiga ah ee Oofir.

I will make people more rare than fine gold, even a person than the pure gold of Ophir.

13 H addaba sidaas daraaddeed maalinta Rabbiga xanaaqiisa kululu iman doono ayaan samooyinka gariirin doonaa, dhulkuna meeshiisuu kaga dhaqaaqi doonaa cadhada Rabbiga ciidammada.

Therefore I will make the heavens tremble, and the earth will be shaken out of its place in Yahweh of Armies’ wrath, and in the day of his fierce anger.

14 O o sida deero la eryay iyo sida ido aan ciduna soo ururin ayaa midkood kastaaba dadkiisa ku noqon doonaa, oo mid kastaaba dalkiisa u carari doonaa.

It will happen that like a hunted gazelle, and like sheep that no one gathers, they will each turn to their own people, and will each flee to their own land.

15 M id kasta oo la helo waa la dooxi doonaa, oo mid kasta oo la qabto seef baa lagu dili doonaa.

Everyone who is found will be thrust through. Everyone who is captured will fall by the sword.

16 O o dhallaankoodana dhulkaa lagu tuuri doonaa iyagoo arkaya, guryahoodana waa la dhici doonaa, naagahoodana waa la kufsan doonaa.

Their infants also will be dashed in pieces before their eyes. Their houses will be ransacked, and their wives raped.

17 B al eega, waxaan iyaga ku soo kicin doonaa reer Maaday oo aan innaba lacag ka fikirayn oo aan dahabkana ku farxin.

Behold, I will stir up the Medes against them, who will not value silver, and as for gold, they will not delight in it.

18 Q aansooyinkoodu waxay baabbi'in doonaan barbaarrada, oo midhaha maxalkana innaba uma ay naxariisan doonaan, oo carruurtana uma ay tudhi doonaan.

Their bows will dash the young men in pieces; and they shall have no pity on the fruit of the womb. Their eyes will not spare children.

19 O o Baabuloon oo ah sharaftii boqortooyooyinka iyo quruxdii kibirka reer Kaldayiin waxay noqon doontaa sidii markii Ilaah Sodom iyo Gomora afgembiyey.

Babylon, the glory of kingdoms, the beauty of the Chaldeans’ pride, will be like when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah.

20 O o weligeed innaba lama degi doono oo tan iyo ab ka ab laguma dhex hoyan doono, oo Carabkuna halkaas teendho kama dhisan doono, oo adhijirraduna halkaas adhigooda ma daajin doonaan.

It will never be inhabited, neither will it be lived in from generation to generation. The Arabian will not pitch a tent there, neither will shepherds make their flocks lie down there.

21 L aakiinse halkaas waxaa jiifsan doona dugaagga lamadegaanka, oo guryahoodana waxaa ka buuxsami doona guumeyso, oo waxaa ku hoyan doona gorayo, waxaana ku dhex cayaari doona xayawaan dhogor dheer leh.

But wild animals of the desert will lie there, and their houses will be full of jackals. Ostriches will dwell there, and wild goats will frolic there.

22 O o yeey baana guryahooda cidloobay qaylo isugu jawaabi doona, oo daarahooda qurqurxoonna dawacooyin baa ka dhex qaylin doona, oo wakhtigeediina kol dhow buu iman doonaa, oo cimrigeedana lama sii dheerayn doono.

Wolves will cry in their fortresses, and jackals in the pleasant palaces. Her time is near to come, and her days will not be prolonged.
