1 A ad u qayli, oo waxba ha iskula hadhin, codkaagana sida buun oo kale kor u qaad, oo dadkayga xadgudubkooda u sheeg, oo reer Yacquubna dembiyadooda u sheeg.

“ Cry loudly, do not hold back; Raise your voice like a trumpet, And declare to My people their transgression And to the house of Jacob their sins.

2 L aakiinse iyagu maalin kasta way i doondoonaan, oo waxay jecel yihiin inay jidadkayga ogaadaan. Sidii quruun xaqnimo samaysay oo aan innaba amarkii Ilaahooda ka tegin waxay i weyddiistaan amarro xaq ah, oo waxay aad u jecel yihiin inay Ilaah ku soo dhowaadaan.

“Yet they seek Me day by day and delight to know My ways, As a nation that has done righteousness And has not forsaken the ordinance of their God. They ask Me for just decisions, They delight in the nearness of God.

3 W axay leeyihiin, Bal maxaannu u soonnay oo aad u arki weyday? Bal maxaannu naftayada u dhibnay oo aad u daymoon weyday? Bal eega, maalintii aad soontaan waad iska raaxaysataan, oo shaqaalihiinna oo dhanna waad dulantaan.

‘Why have we fasted and You do not see? Why have we humbled ourselves and You do not notice?’ Behold, on the day of your fast you find your desire, And drive hard all your workers.

4 B al eega, idinku waxaad u soontaan dirir iyo dood keliya, iyo inaad feedhkii sharnimada wax ku dhufataan. Maanta uma soontaan si codkiinna xagga sare looga maqlo.

“Behold, you fast for contention and strife and to strike with a wicked fist. You do not fast like you do today to make your voice heard on high.

5 S oonkii aan doortay ma waxaas oo kalaa? Ma maalin nin naftiisa dhibo baa? Ma inuu madaxiisa sida cawsduur u foororsho, oo uu hoostiisa dhar joonyad ah iyo dambas ku goglo baa? Waxaa ma waxaad tidhaahdaan, Waa soon iyo maalin Rabbigu aqbali karo?

“Is it a fast like this which I choose, a day for a man to humble himself? Is it for bowing one’s head like a reed And for spreading out sackcloth and ashes as a bed? Will you call this a fast, even an acceptable day to the Lord ?

6 S ow kanu ma aha soonkii aan doortay in silsiladihii sharnimada la furo, oo guntimihii harqoodka la debciyo, oo kuwa la dulmay la xoreeyo, oo aad harqood kasta jebisaan?

“Is this not the fast which I choose, To loosen the bonds of wickedness, To undo the bands of the yoke, And to let the oppressed go free And break every yoke?

7 S ow ma aha inaad kibistaada ka gaajaysan u gooysid, oo aad masaakiinta aan hoy lahayn gurigaaga soo gelisid, oo markaad aragtid mid qaawan aad wax huwisid, oo aadan xigtadaada aad isku jiidhka tihiin ka dhuuman?

“Is it not to divide your bread with the hungry And bring the homeless poor into the house; When you see the naked, to cover him; And not to hide yourself from your own flesh?

8 O o markaas iftiinkaagu wuxuu u soo kaahi doonaa sida kaaha waaberi, oo bogsiintaaduna dhaqso bay u soo bixi doontaa, oo xaqnimadaaduna way ku hor socon doontaa, oo ammaanta Rabbiguna way ku daba socon doontaa.

“Then your light will break out like the dawn, And your recovery will speedily spring forth; And your righteousness will go before you; The glory of the Lord will be your rear guard.

9 M arkaasaad dhawaaqi doontaa, oo Rabbiguna waa kuu jawaabi doonaa, waad u qayshan doontaa, oo isna wuxuu ku odhan doonaa, Waa i kan. Haddaad dhexdaada ka fogaysid harqoodka, iyo farta fiiqiddeeda, iyo hadlidda sharka ah,

“Then you will call, and the Lord will answer; You will cry, and He will say, ‘Here I am.’ If you remove the yoke from your midst, The pointing of the finger and speaking wickedness,

10 o o haddaad ka gaajaysan quudkaaga siisid, oo aad nafta dhibaataysan dherjisid, markaas iftiinkaagu gudcur buu ka soo dhex kaahi doonaa, oo madowgaaguna wuxuu noqon doonaa sida hadh cad oo kale.

And if you give yourself to the hungry And satisfy the desire of the afflicted, Then your light will rise in darkness And your gloom will become like midday.

11 O o Rabbiguna had iyo goorba wuu ku hoggaamin doonaa, oo iyadoo abaar ah ayuu naftaada dherjin doonaa, lafahaagana wuu adkayn doonaa, oo adna waxaad noqon doontaa sida beer la waraabiyey, iyo sida il biya ah oo aan innaba biyeheedu gudhin.

“And the Lord will continually guide you, And satisfy your desire in scorched places, And give strength to your bones; And you will be like a watered garden, And like a spring of water whose waters do not fail.

12 O o kuwaaga ayaa meelihii hore oo burburay dhisi doona, oo waxaad sara kicin doontaa aasaasyada qarniyada badan, oo waxaa laguugu yeedhi doonaa Jabniinkabe, iyo kan jidadka cusboonaysiiya si loo dego.

“Those from among you will rebuild the ancient ruins; You will raise up the age-old foundations; And you will be called the repairer of the breach, The restorer of the streets in which to dwell. Keeping the Sabbath

13 H addaad sabtida cagtaada ula hadhid si aadan maalintayda quduuska ah damacaaga u samayn, aadse sabtida ugu yeedhid farxad, iyo tan quduuska ah ee Rabbiga, oo sharafta badan, iyo haddaad sabtida sharaftid, adigoo aan siyaalahaaga samaynayn, ama aan damacaaga daba galayn, ama aan hadalkaaga ku hadlayn,

“If because of the sabbath, you turn your foot From doing your own pleasure on My holy day, And call the sabbath a delight, the holy day of the Lord honorable, And honor it, desisting from your own ways, From seeking your own pleasure And speaking your own word,

14 m arkaasaad Rabbiga ku farxi doontaa, oo anna waxaan ku marsiin doonaa meelaha sarsare ee dhulka, oo dhaxalkii awowgaa Yacquub ayaan kugu quudin doonaa, waayo, afkii Rabbiga ayaa saas ku hadlay.

Then you will take delight in the Lord, And I will make you ride on the heights of the earth; And I will feed you with the heritage of Jacob your father, For the mouth of the Lord has spoken.”
