1 R abbiyow, xaq baad tahay markaan kula muddaco, haddaba bal aan xukummadaada kaala hadlo. Sharrowyada jidkoodu bal muxuu u hagaagaa? Oo kuwa khiyaano kula macaamiloodo oo dhammuna bal maxay u nabdoon yihiin?

Uncompromisingly righteous and rigidly just are You, O Lord, when I complain against and contend with You. Yet let me plead and reason the case with You: Why does the way of the wicked prosper? Why are all they at ease and thriving who deal very treacherously and deceitfully?

2 I yagaad beertay, oo weliba xidid bay yeesheen, way koraan, oo midhay dhalaan. Adigu afkooda waad ku dhow dahay, laakiinse qalbigooda waad ka fog tahay.

You have planted them, yes, they have taken root; they grow, yes, they bring forth fruit. You are near in their mouths but far from their hearts.

3 L aakiinse, Rabbiyow, adigu waad i taqaan, waanad i aragtaa, oo qalbigaygana xaggaagaad u tijaabisaa. Iyaga u soo bixi sida ido la gowracayo, oo u diyaari maalinta gowracidda.

But You, O Lord, know and understand me and my devotion to You; You see me and try my heart toward You. pull out like sheep for the slaughter and devote and prepare them for the day of slaughter.

4 I laa goormuu dalku sii barooranayaa, oo uu waddanka oo dhan dooggiisu engegayaa? Xumaanta kuwa dhex deggan aawadeed ayaa xayawaankii iyo shimbirrihiiba wada baabbe'een, maxaa yeelay, dadku waxay yidhaahdeen, Isagu ugudambaystayada ma uu arki doono. Jawaabtii Ilaah

How long must the land mourn and the grass and herbs of the whole country wither? Through the wickedness of those who dwell in it, the beasts and the birds are consumed and are swept away, because men me, saying, He shall not see our final end.

5 H addaad rag lug ah la orodday oo ay ku daaliyeen, haddaba bal sidee baad fardo ula tartami kartaa? Oo haddii lagugu daaliyo dalkii nabadda ahaa oo aad isku hallaynaysay, haddaba bal maxaad ku dhex samayn doontaa kibirka Webi Urdun?

If you have raced with men on foot and they have tired you out, then how can you compete with horses? And if in a land of peace where you feel secure, then what will you do in the swelling and flooding of the Jordan?

6 W aayo, xataa walaalaha iyo reerkii aabbahaaba khiyaano bay kugula macaamiloodeen, oo weliba aad bay kaaga soo daba qayliyeen. In kastoo ay erayo wanaagsan kugula hadlaan, ha rumaysan.

For even your brethren and the house of your father—even they have dealt treacherously with you; yes, even they are in full cry after you. Believe them not, though they speak fair words and promise good things to you.

7 A nigu gurigaygii waan ka tegey, oo dhaxalkaygiina waan iska xooray, oo tii ay naftaydu aad u jeclaydna waxaan gacanta u geliyey cadaawayaasheedii.

I have forsaken My house, I have cast off My heritage; I have given the dearly beloved of My life into the hands of her enemies.

8 T an dhaxalkaygii ahayd waxay igu noqotay sidii libaax kaynta ku jira oo kale, codkeeday kor iigu qaadday, oo sidaas daraaddeed waan nebcaaday.

My heritage has become to Me like a lion in the forest; she has uttered her voice against Me; therefore I have hated her.

9 T an dhaxalkaygii ahayd waxay igu tahay xaad birdhicyo leh oo kale, oo xaadka hareereheeda ku wareegsan oo dhammuna waa ku col iyada. Taga oo xayawaanka duurka oo dhan soo wada ururiya, oo soo wada kaxeeya ha cuneene.

Is My heritage to Me like a speckled bird of prey? Are the birds of prey against her round about? Go, assemble all the wild beasts of the field; bring them to devour.

10 A dhijirro badan ayaa beertaydii canabka ahayd baabbi'iyey, qaybtaydii cagta bay kula tunteen, oo qaybtaydii wanaagsanaydna waxay ka dhigeen lamadegaan cidla ah.

Many shepherds have destroyed My vineyard, they have trampled My portion underfoot; they have made My pleasant portion a desolate wilderness.

11 C idla bay ka dhigeen, oo iyadoo cidla ah ayay xaggayga u soo baroorataa. Dalkii oo dhan cidla waa laga dhigay, waayo, ninna dan kama galo.

They have made it a desolation, and desolate it mourns before Me; the whole land has been made desolate, but no man lays it to heart.

12 M eelaha dhaadheer oo cidlada ku dhex yaal oo dhan waxaa ku soo kacay baabbi'iyayaashii, waayo, seefta Rabbiga ayaa wax ka baabbi'isa dalka darafkiisan iyo ilaa darafka kale inta ka dhex leh, oo binu-aadmiga oo dhan midnaba nabad ma leh.

Destroyers have come upon all the bare heights in the desert, for the sword of the Lord devours from one end of the land even to the other; no flesh has peace or can find the means to escape.

13 I yagu waxay beerteen sarreen, laakiinse qodxan bay soo goosteen, aad bay u daaleen, laakiinse innaba ma ay faa'iidaan. Waxaad ku ceeboobi doontaan midhaha aad goosanaysaan, waana Rabbiga cadhadiisa kulul aawadeed.

They have sown wheat but have reaped thorns; they have worn themselves out but without profit. And they shall be ashamed of your harvests and revenues because of the fierce and glowing anger of the Lord.

14 D erisyadayda sharka ah oo dhan oo taabta dhaxalkii aan dadkayga reer binu Israa'iil dhaxalsiiyey, Rabbigu wuxuu ka leeyahay, Bal ogaada, iyagaan dalka ka rujin doonaa, oo dadka Yahuudahna waan ka rujin doonaa dhexdooda.

Thus says the Lord against all My evil neighbor who touch the inheritance which I have caused My people Israel to inherit: Behold, I will pluck them up from their land and I will pluck up the house of Judah from among them.

15 O o markaan iyaga rujiyo dabadeed waan soo noqon doonaa oo iyagaan u naxariisan doonaa, oo mar kalaan ku soo celin doonaa nin kasta dhaxalkiisii iyo dhulkiisii.

And after I have plucked them up, I will return and have compassion on them and will bring them back again, every man to his heritage and every man to his land.

16 O o hadday jidadka dadkayga aad u bartaan oo ay magacayga ku dhaartaan iyagoo leh, Rabbiga nool baannu ku dhaaranaynaa, xataa siday dadkayga u bareen inay Bacal ku dhaartaan, markaas iyagaa lagu dhisi doonaa dadkayga dhexdiisa.

And if these will diligently learn the ways of My people, to swear by My name, saying, As the Lord lives—even as they taught My people to swear by Baal—then will they be built up in the midst of My people.

17 L aakiinse Rabbigu wuxuu leeyahay, Hadday i dhegaysan waayaan, quruuntaas waan wada rujin doonaa, oo waan baabbi'in doonaa.

But if any nation will not hear and obey, I will utterly pluck up and destroy that nation, says the Lord.
