1 G abadha bikradda ah ee Baabuloon ahay, soo deg, oo ciidda ku fadhiiso, magaalada reer Kaldayiinay, carshila'aan dhulka ku fadhiiso, waayo, mar dambe adiga laguuguma yeedhi doono mid dhaylo ah oo jilcisan.

“Come down and sit in the dust, O pure daughter of Babylon. Sit on the ground without a throne, O people of the Babylonians. For you will no longer be called soft and gentle.

2 D hagaxshiidyada qaad oo wax shiid, masarka madaxa ka qaad, oo lugaha qaawi, tan iyo bowdada tafaxaydo, oo webiyaasha ka gudub.

Take the heavy stones and grind grain. Take off your face-covering and your clothing. Take the covering off your legs, and cross the rivers.

3 C awradaada waa la qaawin doonaa, ceebtaadana waa la arki doonaa. Waan aarsan doonaa, oo ninna uma tudhi doono.

Your body will not be covered, and your shame will be seen. I will punish, and will not show pity to any man.”

4 B ixiyahayaga magiciisa waxaa la yidhaahdaa Rabbiga ciidammada oo ah Kan Quduuska ah ee reer binu Israa'iil.

The One Who bought us and saves us, the Lord of All is His name, the Holy One of Israel.

5 M agaalada reer Kaldayiinay, shib dheh oo fadhiiso, meel gudcur ah gal, waayo, mar dambe laguuguma yeedhi doono sayidaddii boqortooyooyinka.

“Sit and be quiet, and go into darkness, O people of the Babylonians. For you will no more be called the queen of nations.

6 W axaan u cadhooday dadkaygii, oo dhaxalkaygii nijaas baan ka dhigay, oo adigaan gacanta kuu geliyey. Innaba iyagii uma aadan naxariisan, oo dadka gaboobay ayaad harqoodkaagii wax culus kaga dhigtay.

I was angry with My people. I made My chosen nation unclean, and gave them into your hand. You did not show loving-kindness to them. On the older people you made your load very heavy.

7 W axaad istidhi, Anigu weligayba waxaan ahaan doonaa sayidad, oo waxyaalahanna qalbiga ma aad gelin, oo ugudambaystoodiina sooma aadan xusuusan.

You said, ‘I will be a queen forever.’ So you did not think about these things, or remember what might happen.

8 H addaba bal waxyaalahan maqal, taada iska raaxaysata oo istareexa ku joogtoy. Waxaad qalbiga iska tidhaahdaa, Anigaa ah oo aniga mooyaane cid kale ma jirto, anigu innaba carmal ma noqon doono, oo ma gablami doono.

“So now hear this, you who love the desires of the body, who live without fear of danger. You say in your heart, ‘I am, and there is no one besides me. I will not sit as a woman whose husband has died, and I will not lose my children.’

9 L aakiinse labadan waxyaalood isku maalin qudha ayay isku daqiiqad kuu iman doonaan, waana gablannimo iyo carmalnimo. Aad iyo aad bay kuugu soo degi doonaan in kastoo aad saaxirnimo badan iyo falfal tiro badan badisay.

But these two things will come upon you all at once in one day. You will lose your children and your husband. All this trouble will come to you, even with all your witchcraft and the strong power of your sinful secret ways.

10 W aayo, waxaad isku hallaysay sharnimadaada, oo waxaad istidhi, Ninna ima arko. Waxaa ku qalday xigmaddaada iyo aqoontaada, oo waxaad qalbiga iska tidhi, Anigaa ah, oo aniga mooyaane cid kale ma jirto.

You trusted in your sin and said, ‘No one sees me.’ Your wisdom and learning have led you the wrong way, for you have said in your heart, ‘I am, and there is no one besides me.’

11 H addaba sidaas daraaddeed masiibo baa kugu soo degi doonta, mana aad garan doontid si ay kuugu iman doonto, belaayaa kugu dhici doonta, oo mana aad kari doontid inaad iska fogaysid, oo baabbi'id baa si kedis ah kuugu soo degi doonta, taasoo aadan aqoon.

Much trouble will come upon you, and you will not know how to get away from it. Trouble will fall on you, and there will be no way for you to pay that it might go away. You will not know it but all at once you will be destroyed.

12 H addaad ku faa'iidi karaysid iyo haddaad ku adkaan karaysid, bal haatan la soo istaag falfalkaaga iyo saaxirnimadaada faraha badan oo aad tan iyo yaraantaadii ku soo hawshoonaysay.

“Keep on with your sinful secret ways and all your witchcraft that you have used since you were young. It might be that you will get something from it. Maybe you can cause fear.

13 W axaad ku daashay talooyinkaagii tirada badnaa, haddaba xiddigayaqaannada, iyo xiddigasheegyada, iyo xilliyasheegyaduba ha sara joogsadeen, oo ha kaa badbaadiyeen waxyaalaha kugu soo degi doona.

You are tired with your many wise men. Now call the star watchers, those who tell by the stars what will happen in the future, those who tell the future by the new moons. Have them stand up and save you from what will come upon you.

14 B al eeg, iyagu waxay noqon doonaan sida xaab oo kale, oo dabka ayaa wada gubi doona, oo iyana xoogga ololka iskama ay samatabbixin doonaan, oo dabkaasuna ma ahaan doono dhuxul la kulaalo, amase dab la hor fadhiisto.

See, they have become like dry grass. Fire burns them. They cannot take themselves away from the power of the fire. This is no fire for making one warm, or fire to sit by!

15 S aasay kuu noqon doonaan waxyaalihii aad ku hawshootay, oo kuwii aad macaamilada la lahayd tan iyo yaraantaadii midkood kastaaba meeshiisuu tegi doonaa, oo mid ku badbaadiyana ma jiri doono.

This is how those are to you, with whom you have worked since you were young. Each one has gone on in his own wrong way. There is no one who can save you.
