1 K anu waa warka culus ee Dimishaq ku saabsan. Bal eega, Dimishaq inay magaalo sii ahaato waa laga joojiyey, oo waxay ahaan doontaa tuulmooyin burbur ah.

The oracle concerning Damascus. “Behold, Damascus is about to be removed from being a city And will become a fallen ruin.

2 M agaalooyinkii Carooceer waa laga wada tegey. Waxay noqon doonaan meelo adhyuhu daaqaan oo ay iska fadhiistaan, oo ciduna ma didin doonto.

“The cities of Aroer are forsaken; They will be for flocks to lie down in, And there will be no one to frighten them.

3 R abbiga ciidammadu wuxuu leeyahay, Qalcaddu reer Efrayim way ka baabbi'i doontaa, oo boqortooyaduna Dimishaq way ka dhammaan doontaa, oo kuwa Suuriya ka hadhi doonaana waxay noqon doonaan sida sharaftii dadkii Israa'iil.

“The fortified city will disappear from Ephraim, And sovereignty from Damascus And the remnant of Aram; They will be like the glory of the sons of Israel,” Declares the Lord of hosts.

4 O o maalintaas sharafta reer Yacquub way daciifi doontaa, oo baruurta jidhkiisuna way macaluuli doontaa.

Now in that day the glory of Jacob will fade, And the fatness of his flesh will become lean.

5 O o waxay noqon doontaa sida marka beeragooyuhu balka soo urursho oo gacantiisuna ay sabuullada soo gurato, oo waxay noqon doontaa sida mid sabuullo laga tegey ka guranaya dooxada Refaa'iim.

It will be even like the reaper gathering the standing grain, As his arm harvests the ears, Or it will be like one gleaning ears of grain In the valley of Rephaim.

6 R abbiga ah Ilaaha reer binu Israa'iil wuxuu leeyahay, Weli canab xaabxaab ah ayaa ku hadhi doona, oo sida geed saytuun ah oo la ruxay ayaa laba ama saddex xabbadood ku hadhi doonaan laanta geedka ugu korraysa dhaladeeda, laamaha ugu shisheeya oo midhaha badanna waxaa ku hadhi doona afar ama shan xabbadood.

Yet gleanings will be left in it like the shaking of an olive tree, Two or three olives on the topmost bough, Four or five on the branches of a fruitful tree, Declares the Lord, the God of Israel.

7 O o maalintaas nin baa wuxuu fiirin doonaa Abuurihiisii, oo indhihiisuna waxay u jeedsan doonaan Kan Quduuska ah oo reer binu Israa'iil.

In that day man will have regard for his Maker And his eyes will look to the Holy One of Israel.

8 O o isagu ma uu fiirin doono meelaha allabariga ee uu gacmihiisa ku sameeyey, umana uu jeedsan doono wixii ay farihiisu sameeyeen, kuwaasoo ah geedaha Asheeraah, iyo sanamyada qorraxda.

He will not have regard for the altars, the work of his hands, Nor will he look to that which his fingers have made, Even the Asherim and incense stands.

9 O o maalintaas magaalooyinkiisa xoogga badanu waxay noqon doonaan sida meelaha ay reer Xiwi iyo reer Amor kaga tageen reer binu Israa'iil hortood, oo waxaa jiri doona baabba'.

In that day their strong cities will be like forsaken places in the forest, Or like branches which they abandoned before the sons of Israel; And the land will be a desolation.

10 M axaa yeelay, waxaad illowday Ilaaha badbaadadaada, oo kamana aad fikirin Dhagaxa xoogga kuu ah, sidaas daraaddeed waxaad beertaa geedo wacan, waxaadna tallaashaa geedo qalaad oo canab ah.

For you have forgotten the God of your salvation And have not remembered the rock of your refuge. Therefore you plant delightful plants And set them with vine slips of a strange god.

11 M aalintii aad beerto ayaad xeraysaa, subaxdiina waxaad ubax ka keentaa abuurkaaga, laakiinse beergoosadku wuxuu carari doonaa maalin murug iyo caloolxumo badan.

In the day that you plant it you carefully fence it in, And in the morning you bring your seed to blossom; But the harvest will be a heap In a day of sickliness and incurable pain.

12 D adka faraha badanu aad bay u buuqayaan, oo waxay u hugmaan sida hugunka badda! Quruumuhu aad bay u bulxamayaan, oo waxay u guuxaan sidii guuxa biyo xoog badan!

Alas, the uproar of many peoples Who roar like the roaring of the seas, And the rumbling of nations Who rush on like the rumbling of mighty waters!

13 Q uruumuhu waxay u guuxi doonaan sida guuxa biyo faro badan, laakiinse wuu canaanan doonaa, oo meel fog bay u carari doonaan, oo waxaa loo eryi doonaa sida xaabka buuraha ee dabayshu kaxayso iyo sida boodh cirwareen ah.

The nations rumble on like the rumbling of many waters, But He will rebuke them and they will flee far away, And be chased like chaff in the mountains before the wind, Or like whirling dust before a gale.

14 B al eega, makhribkii cabsi baa jirta, oo aroortii ka horna ma jiraan. Taasu waa waxa ku dhaca kuwa na booba iyo qaybtii kuwa na dhaca.

At evening time, behold, there is terror! Before morning they are no more. Such will be the portion of those who plunder us And the lot of those who pillage us.
