1 B al eega, boqor baa xaqnimo ku talin doona, oo amiirrona caddaalad bay wax ku xukumi doonaan.

See, a king will rule by what is right and good and princes will be fair.

2 O o ninba wuxuu noqon doonaa meel dabaysha lagaga dhuunto iyo gabbaad duufaanka laga dugsado, iyo sida webiyo biya ah oo meel engegan ku yaal, iyo sida hoos dhagax weyn oo dal oommane ah ku yaal.

Each will be like a safe place from the wind, and a covering from the storm. Each will be like rivers of water in a dry country, and like the shadow of a large rock in a waste land.

3 O o kuwii arka indhahoodu ma ay awdmi doonaan, oo kuwii maqla dhegahooduna way dhegaysan doonaan.

Then the eyes of those who see will be able to see. And the ears of those who hear will listen.

4 O o kuwa wax walba ku degdega qalbigoodu aqoontuu garan doonaa, oo kuwa gangada leh carrabkooduna wuxuu diyaar u ahaan doonaa inuu bayaan u hadlo.

The mind of those who act in a hurry will understand the truth. And the tongue of those who have trouble speaking will hurry to speak well.

5 O o mar dambe lama odhan doono, Nacasku waa gob, oo lama odhan doono, Xoolocirdoonku waa deeqsi.

The fool will no more be called great. The bad man will no more be called a man of honor.

6 W aayo, nacasku nacasnimuu ku hadli doonaa, oo qalbigiisuna xumaan buu samayn doonaa si uu cibaadala'aan ugu isticmaalo oo uu wax been ah Rabbiga ka sheego, inuu nafta gaajaysan sii madhiyo oo uu kii oomman cabniinkiisa gooyo.

For a fool speaks foolish things. His mind plans wrong-doing, to sin and to say false things against the Lord, to keep the hungry person hungry, and to keep drink from the thirsty.

7 O o xoolocirdoonka hubkiisuna waa shar miidhan, oo wuxuu hindisaa hindisayaal shar ah si uu masaakiinta erayo been ah ugu baabbi'iyo, xataa haddii saboolku si qumman u hadlo.

The ways of the bad man are sinful. He makes sinful plans to destroy the suffering with lies, even when the one in need asks for what is right.

8 L aakiinse deeqsigu wuxuu hindisaa waxyaalo deeqsinimo ah, oo wuxuu ku sii adkaan doonaa waxyaalo deeqsinimo ah. Dumarka Yeruusaalem

But the man of honor makes good plans, and he stands for what is good. The Women of Jerusalem

9 N aagaha istareexsanow, kaca, oo codkayga maqla, gabdhaha aan digtoonaynow, Erayga dhegta u dhiga.

Rise up, you women who live an easy life, and hear my voice. Listen to what I say, you daughters.

10 N aagaha aan digtoonaynow, sannad iyo dhawr maalmood ayaad dhibtoon doontaan, waayo, canabguriddu ma jiri doonto oo midho-urursiguna ma iman doono.

In a little more than a year, you will be troubled. There will be no grapes to gather, the wine will not be made.

11 N aagaha istareexsanow, gariira, oo kuwiinna aan digtoonaynow, dhibtooda. Ismudhxiya, oo isqaawiya, oo dhar joonyad ah dhexda ku xidha.

Shake with fear, you women who live an easy life. Be troubled, you daughters, who feel safe. Take off your clothes and cover your bodies with cloth made from hair.

12 B eerihii wanaagsanaa iyo canabkii midhaha badnaa ee la waayay aawadood ayay naasahooda u garaaci doonaan.

Beat your breasts for the good fields, for the vine full of fruit,

13 O o dalka dadkayga iyo xataa guryaha farxadda oo magaalooyinka faraxsan ku yaal oo dhan waxaa ka soo bixi doona qodxan iyo yamaarug,

and for the land of my people in which thorns and thistles will come up. Yes, be sorry for all the houses of joy, and for the happy city,

14 m axaa yeelay, daarta boqornimada waa laga tegi doonaa, oo magaalada dadka badanna waa laga kici doonaa, oo buurta iyo munaaradduna waxay weligood ahaan doonaan godad dugaag, iyo farxad dameer banjoog ah, iyo daaqsin idaad,

because the king’s house will be empty. The city full of people will be left empty. The hill and the watch-tower will become a place for wild animals forever, a happy place for wild donkeys, a field for flocks.

15 i laa Ruuxa xagga sare nalagu kor shubo, oo cidladuna ay noqoto beer midho badan, oo beerta midhaha badanna sida duud oo kale lagu tiriyo.

It will be this way until the Spirit is poured out upon us from heaven, and the desert becomes a field giving so much fruit, that it seems as if it has many trees.

16 O o markaas dabadeed ayaa caddaaladu cidlada joogi doontaa, oo xaqnimona waxay ku sii jiri doontaa beerta midhaha badan.

Then what is right and fair will be in the desert. What is right and good will be in the field of much fruit.

17 O o xaqnimada shuqulkeeduna wuxuu ahaan doonaa nabad, xaqnimaduna weligeed waxay keeni doontaa xasilloonaan iyo kalsooni.

The work of being right and good will give peace. From the right and good work will come quiet trust forever.

18 O o dadkayguna waxay joogi doonaan rug nabaadiino, iyo hoyaal ammaan ah, iyo meelo xasilloon oo lagu nasto.

Then my people will live in a place of peace, in safe homes, and in quiet resting places.

19 L aakiinse roobdhagaxyaale ahu wuxuu ku soo degi doonaa duudda, oo magaaladana hoos baa loo soo dejin doonaa.

But it will hail when the many trees come down and all the city will be laid waste.

20 W axaa barakaysan kuwiinna biyo dhinacyadooda oo dhan wax ku abuura oo dibiga iyo dameerka u sii daaya inay daaqaan.

How happy will you be, you who plant seeds beside all waters, and let the cattle and donkeys eat in any field.
