1 B al jidadka Yeruusaalem hore iyo dib ugu orda, oo bal fiiriya, oo garta, oo meelaheeda balballaadhanna ka doondoona nin qudha oo caddaalad sameeya oo runta doondoona, oo haddaad ka heli kartaanna iyada waan cafiyi doonaa.

Go to and fro in streets of Jerusalem, And see, I pray you, and know, And seek in her broad places, if ye find a man, If there be one doing judgment, seeking stedfastness -- Then am I propitious to her.

2 O o weliba in kastoo ay yidhaahdaan, Waa iga Rabbiga nool, sida xaqiiqada ah been bay ku dhaartaan.

And if they say, `Jehovah liveth,' Surely to a falsehood they swear.

3 R abbiyow, indhahaagu runta sow ma fiiriyaan? Iyaga wax baad ku dhufatay, laakiinse innaba kama ay xumaan, oo waad baabbi'isay, laakiinse way diideen inay edeb qaataan. Wejigoodiina waxay ka dhigeen wax dhagax ka sii adag, oo inay soo noqdaanna way diideen.

Jehovah, Thine eyes, are they not on stedfastness? Thou hast smitten them, and they have not grieved, Thou hast consumed them, They have refused to receive instruction, They made their faces harder than a rock, They have refused to turn back.

4 M arkaasaan idhi, Sida xaqiiqada ah kuwanu waa masaakiin, oo waa nacasyo, waayo, Rabbiga jidkiisa iyo qaynuunka Ilaahooda toona garan maayaan.

And I -- I said, `Surely these poor, They have been foolish, For they have not known the way of Jehovah, The judgment of their God.

5 W axaan u tegi doonaa ragga waaweyn, oo waan la hadli doonaa, waayo, iyagu Rabbiga jidkiisa iyo qaynuunka Ilaahooda way yaqaaniin. Laakiinse kuwanu dhammaantood harqoodkii way jebiyeen, oo xadhkihiina way kala gooyeen.

I get me to the great, and I speak with them, For they have known the way of Jehovah, The judgment of their God.' Surely they together have broken the yoke, They have drawn away the bands.

6 O o sidaas daraaddeed waxaa iyaga dili doona libaax kaynta ka soo baxay, oo waxaa baabbi'in doonta yeyda fiideed. Oo magaalooyinkoodana waxaa gaagaatami doona shabeel, oo ku alla kii halkaas ka soo baxaba waa la kala dildillaacsan doonaa, maxaa yeelay, xadgudubyadoodu waa tiro badan yihiin, oo dibunoqoshadoodiina waa sii korodhay.

Therefore smitten them hath a lion out of the forest, A wolf of the deserts doth spoil them, A leopard is watching over their cities, Every one who is going out of them is torn, For many have been their transgressions, Mighty have been their backslidings.

7 S idee baan kuu saamixi karaa? Carruurtaadii way iga tageen, oo waxay ku dhaarteen kuwa aan ilaahyo ahayn, oo markaan dherdhergiyey dabadeed ayay sinaysteen, oo iyagoo guutooyin ah ayay guryihii dhillooyinka ku soo urureen.

For this I am not propitious to thee, Thy sons have forsaken Me, And are satisfied by that which is not god, I satisfy them, and they commit adultery, And at the house of a harlot They gather themselves together.

8 W axay la mid noqdeen sidii fardo aroortii la barqiyey, oo midkood kastaaba wuxuu ka daba dananay naagtii deriskiisa.

Fed horses -- they have been early risers, Each to the wife of his neighbour they neigh.

9 R abbigu wuxuu leeyahay, Miyaanan iyaga waxyaalahan u ciqaabayn? Miyaanse naftaydu ka aarsanayn quruuntii tan oo kale ah?

For these do I not lay a charge? An affirmation of Jehovah, And on a nation such as this, Doth not My soul avenge itself?

10 D erbiyadeeda fuula oo dumiya, laakiinse ha wada baabbi'inina. Laamaheedana qaada, waayo, kuwii Rabbiga ma aha.

Go ye up on her walls, and destroy, And a completion make not, Turn aside her branches, for they not Jehovah's,

11 W aayo, dadka Israa'iil iyo dadka Yahuudahba khiyaano bay igula macaamiloodeen, ayaa Rabbigu leeyahay.

For dealt treacherously against Me have the house of Israel, And the house of Judah, an affirmation of Jehovah.

12 R abbiga way dafireen, oo waxay yidhaahdeen, Isagu ma jiro. Masiibo nagu dhici mayso, oo seef iyo abaar midna arki mayno.

They have lied against Jehovah, And they say, ` not He, Nor come in against us doth evil, Yea, sword and famine we do not see.

13 O o nebiyaduna dabayl bay noqon doonaan, oo eraygu iyaga kuma jiro, oo sidaasaa iyaga lagu samayn doonaa.

And the prophets become wind, And the word is not in them,' -- thus it is done by them.

14 O o sidaas daraaddeed Rabbiga ah Ilaaha ciidammadu wuxuu leeyahay, Erayadan aad ku hadasheen aawadood bal ogaada, ereyga afkaaga ku jira dab baan ka dhigi doonaa, oo dadkanna waxaan ka dhigi doonaa xaabo, oo isna wuu wada baabbi'in doonaa dhammaantood.

Therefore, thus said Jehovah, God of Hosts, Because of your speaking this word, Lo, I am making My words in thy mouth become fire, And this people wood, and it hath devoured them.

15 R abbigu wuxuu leeyahay, Dadka Israa'iilow, bal ogaada, quruun baan meel fog idinkaga keeni doonaa, oo taasu waa quruun xoog badan, oo waa quruun tan iyo waa hore jirtay, oo waa quruun aydaan afkeeda aqoon, oo aydaan innaba garanayn wax alla waxay yidhaahdaanba.

Lo, I am bringing against you a nation from afar, O house of Israel, an affirmation of Jehovah, A nation -- strong it, a nation -- from of old it, A nation -- thou knowest not its tongue, Nor understandest what it speaketh.

16 G abooyahoodu waa sida qabri af bannaan, oo kulligoodna waa wada rag xoog leh.

Its quiver as an open sepulchre, All of them -- mighty ones.

17 O o iyagu waxay dhammayn doonaan waxaad beeraha ka goosataan iyo kibistiinna, oo waxay dhammayn doonaan wiilashiinna iyo gabdhihiinna, oo waxay dhammayn doonaan adhyihiinna iyo lo'diinnaba, oo waxay dhammayn doonaan canabkiinna iyo berdihiinnaba, oo magaalooyinkiinna deyrka leh oo aad isku hallaynaysaanna seef bay la dhici doonaan.

And it hath consumed thy harvest and thy bread, They consume thy sons, and thy daughters, It consumeth thy flock, and thy herd, It consumeth thy vine, and thy fig-tree, It maketh poor thy fenced cities, In which thou art trusting -- by the sword.

18 O o Rabbigu wuxuu leeyahay, Habase ahaatee, anigu wakhtigaas idin wada baabbi'in maayo.

And even in those days, an affirmation of Jehovah, I do not make you a completion.

19 O o markay yidhaahdaan, Rabbiga Ilaahayaga ahu bal muxuu waxyaalahan oo dhan noogu sameeyey? Kolkaas waxaad ku tidhaahdaa, Sidaad Rabbiga uga tagteen, oo aad ilaahyo qalaad dalkiinna ugu dhex adeegteen, sidaas oo kalaad shisheeyayaal ugu dhex adeegi doontaan dal aan kiinna ahayn.

And it hath come to pass, when ye say, `For what hath Jehovah our God done to us all these?' That thou hast said unto them, `As ye have forsaken Me, And serve the gods of a foreigner in your land, So do ye serve strangers in a land not yours.

20 W axan dadka Yacquub ka dhex sheega, oo dadka Yahuudah ka dhex naadiya, oo waxaad tidhaahdaan,

Declare ye this in the house of Jacob, And sound ye it in Judah, saying,

21 D adka nacasyada ahu oo aan waxgarashada lahayn, oo indhaha leh laakiinse aan waxba arkin, oo dhegaha leh laakiinse aan waxba maqlinow, bal haatan waxan maqla:

Hear ye, I pray you, this, O people, foolish and without heart, Eyes they have, and they see not, Ears they have, and they hear not.

22 R abbigu wuxuu leeyahay, War miyeydaan iga cabsanayn? Oo miyeydaan hortayda ku gariirayn? Waayo, anigu waxaan ahay kii cammuudda badda uga dhigay soohdinta, oo amar weligiis ah bixiyey inayan soo dhaafin, oo in kastoo ay mawjadaheedu aad u dhacaan, innaba kama ay adkaan karaan, oo in kastoo ay guuxaanna marna sooma ay dhaafi karaan.

Me do ye not fear, an affirmation of Jehovah? From My presence are ye not pained? Who hath made sand the border of the sea, A limit age-during, and it passeth not over it, They shake themselves, and they are not able, Yea, sounded have its billows, and they pass not over.

23 L aakiinse dadkanu waxay leeyihiin qalbi fallaagoobaya oo caasiyoobay, way fallaagoobeen oo way iska tageen.

And this people hath an apostate and rebellious heart, They have turned aside, and they go on.

24 O o innaba qalbigooda iskama ay yidhaahdaan, War haatan aynu ka cabsanno Rabbiga Ilaaheenna ah oo roobka hore iyo kan dambeba xilligiisa ina siiya, oo toddobaadyada beergoosashada loo go'ay inoo haya.

And they have not said in their heart, `Let us fear, we pray you, Jehovah our God, who is giving rain, The sprinkling and the gathered, in its season, The appointed weeks of harvest He keepeth for us.'

25 X umaatooyinkiinna ayaa waxyaalahan idinka celiyey, oo dembiyadiinna ayaa waxyaalo wanwanaagsan idinka diiday.

Your iniquities have turned these away, And your sins have kept the good from you.

26 W aayo, dadkayga dhexdiisa waxaa laga helaa niman shar ah. Waxay u gabbadaan sida kuwa wax dabta, oo intay dabin u qoolaan ayay dad qabsadaan.

For the wicked have been found among My people. It looketh about the covering of snares, They have set up a trap -- men they capture.

27 S ida qafas shimbirro ka buuxaan oo kale ayaa guryahooda khiyaano uga buuxdaa, oo sidaas daraaddeed ayay u weynaadeen oo u taajiroobeen.

As a cage full of fowls, So their houses are full of deceit, Therefore they have been great, and are rich.

28 A ad bay u buurnaadeen oo cayileen, oo xataa falimaha sharka ahna aad bay u badiyaan, ma garsooraan oo agoontana uma ay muddacaan si ay u barwaaqoobaan, oo masaakiintana xaqooda uma ay sameeyaan.

They have been fat, they have shone, Yea, they have overpassed the acts of the evil, Judgment they have not judged, The judgment of the fatherless -- and they prosper, And the judgment of the needy they have not judged.

29 H addaba Rabbigu wuxuu leeyahay, Miyaanan iyaga waxyaalahan u ciqaabayn? Miyaanse naftaydu ka aarsanayn quruuntii tan oo kale ah?

For these do not I inspect, an affirmation of Jehovah, On a nation such as this, Doth not My soul avenge itself?

30 W ax baas oo yaab miidhan ah ayaa dalka lagu dhex sameeyey.

An astonishing and horrible thing hath been in the land.

31 N ebiyadii waxay sii sheegaan wax been ah, oo wadaaddadiina waxay wax ku xukumaan iyaga taladooda, oo dadkaygiina saasay jecel yihiin, laakiinse bal maxaad ugudambaysta samayn doontaan?

The prophets have prophesied falsely, And the priests bear rule by their means, And My people have loved so, And what do they at its latter end?
