1 B al muu madaxaygu biyo noqdo, oo bal may indhahayguna il biyood oo ilmo daadisa noqdaan, si aan habeen iyo maalinba ugu ooyo kuwa laga laayay dadkayga!

Oh that my head were waters And my eyes a fountain of tears, That I might weep day and night For the slain of the daughter of my people!

2 B al maan cidlada ku lahaado hoy ay socotooyinku ku dhaxaan, si aan dadkayga uga tago, oo aan iyaga uga fogaado! Waayo, iyagu dhammaantood waxay noqdeen dhillayo, iyo urur khaa'inno ah.

Oh that I had in the desert A wayfarers’ lodging place; That I might leave my people And go from them! For all of them are adulterers, An assembly of treacherous men.

3 C arrabkooda ayay been ugu xoodaan sida qaanso oo kale, oo dhulkay ku xoogaysteen, runtase uma aha, waayo, sharba shar bay uga sii gudbaan, oo ima ay yaqaaniin, ayaa Rabbigu leeyahay.

“They bend their tongue like their bow; Lies and not truth prevail in the land; For they proceed from evil to evil, And they do not know Me,” declares the Lord.

4 M idkiin kastaaba deriskiisa ha iska jiro oo walaalna ha isku hallaynina, waayo, walaal kastaaba waa khaa'in, oo deris kastaaba xan buu la wareegaa.

“Let everyone be on guard against his neighbor, And do not trust any brother; Because every brother deals craftily, And every neighbor goes about as a slanderer.

5 M idkood kastaaba wuxuu khiyaaneeyaa deriskiisa, oo runtana kuma ay hadlaan. Waxay carrabkooda bareen inuu been ku hadlo, oo waxay isku daaliyaan inay xumaan sameeyaan.

“Everyone deceives his neighbor And does not speak the truth, They have taught their tongue to speak lies; They weary themselves committing iniquity.

6 R abbigu wuxuu leeyahay, Rugtaadu waxay ku dhex jirtaa khiyaano, oo khiyaano aawadeed ayay u diidaan inay i aqoonsadaan.

“Your dwelling is in the midst of deceit; Through deceit they refuse to know Me,” declares the Lord.

7 S idaas daraaddeed Rabbiga ciidammadu wuxuu leeyahay, Bal ogaada, iyagaan dhalaalin doonaa, waanan tijaabin doonaa, waayo, bal maxaa kaloo aan sameeyaa, dadkayga dartiis?

Therefore thus says the Lord of hosts, “Behold, I will refine them and assay them; For what else can I do, because of the daughter of My people?

8 C arrabkoodu waa sida fallaadh wax dilaysa oo kale. Khiyaanuu ku hadlaa. Mid waluba deriskiisa nabad buu afka uga sheegaa, laakiinse uurka wuu uga gabbadaa.

“Their tongue is a deadly arrow; It speaks deceit; With his mouth one speaks peace to his neighbor, But inwardly he sets an ambush for him.

9 R abbigu wuxuu leeyahay, Miyaanan iyaga waxyaalahan u ciqaabayn? Miyaanse naftaydu ka aarsanayn quruun tanoo kale ah?

“ Shall I not punish them for these things?” declares the Lord. “On a nation such as this Shall I not avenge Myself?

10 W axaan oohin iyo baroor kor ugu qaadi doonaa buuraha aawadood, oo daaqsimaha cidladana waan u barooran doonaa, maxaa yeelay, way gubteen si aan ciduna u dhex marin. Oo ninna codkii lo'da kama maqli karo, haaddii samada iyo dugaaggiiba way carareen oo way tageen.

“For the mountains I will take up a weeping and wailing, And for the pastures of the wilderness a dirge, Because they are laid waste so that no one passes through, And the lowing of the cattle is not heard; Both the birds of the sky and the beasts have fled; they are gone.

11 O o waxaan Yeruusaalem ka dhigi doonaa tuulmooyin burbur ah, iyo meel ay dawacooyinku ku hoydaan. Oo magaalooyinka dalka Yahuudahna waxaan ka dhigi doonaa cidla aan ciduna degganayn.

“I will make Jerusalem a heap of ruins, A haunt of jackals; And I will make the cities of Judah a desolation, without inhabitant.”

12 W aa kuma ninka xigmadda leh oo waxan garan karaa? Oo kan Rabbiga afkiisu la hadlay inuu waxyaalahan sheegi karaa waa kuma? Bal maxaa dalku u halligmay, oo uu sidii cidlo oo kale ugu gubtay, si aan ciduna u dhex marin?

Who is the wise man that may understand this? And who is he to whom the mouth of the Lord has spoken, that he may declare it? Why is the land ruined, laid waste like a desert, so that no one passes through?

13 R abbigu wuxuu leeyahay, Iyagu sharcigaygii aan hortooda dhigay way ka tageen, oo codkaygiina ma ay addeecin, kumana ay dhex socon,

The Lord said, “Because they have forsaken My law which I set before them, and have not obeyed My voice nor walked according to it,

14 l aakiinse waxay iska daba galeen caasinimadii qalbigooda, iyo Bacaliim oo ay awowayaashood iyaga bareen,

but have walked after the stubbornness of their heart and after the Baals, as their fathers taught them,”

15 o o sidaas daraaddeed Rabbiga ciidammada oo ah Ilaaha reer binu Israa'iil wuxuu leeyahay, Dadkan waxaan ku quudin doonaa dacar, oo waxaan cabsiin doonaa biyo xammeetiyeed.

therefore thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, “behold, I will feed them, this people, with wormwood and give them poisoned water to drink.

16 O o iyaga waxaan ku kala dhex firdhin doonaa quruumaha iyaga iyo awowayaashood toona ayan aqoonin, oo waxaan iyaga ka daba diri doonaa seef jeeraan baabbi'iyo.

I will scatter them among the nations, whom neither they nor their fathers have known; and I will send the sword after them until I have annihilated them.”

17 R abbiga ciidammadu wuxuu leeyahay, Aad u fiirsada, oo u yeedha naagaha baroorta ha yimaadeene, waxaad u cid dirtaan naagaha aad baroorta u yaqaan ha yimaadeene.

Thus says the Lord of hosts, “Consider and call for the mourning women, that they may come; And send for the wailing women, that they may come!

18 O o iyagu ha soo dhaqsadeen, oo aad ha noogu baroorteen, si ay indhahayaga ilmo uga soo daadato oo ay biyona uga soo butaacaan.

“Let them make haste and take up a wailing for us, That our eyes may shed tears And our eyelids flow with water.

19 W aayo, waxaa Siyoon ka yeedhaya cod baroor ah oo leh, Sidee baannu u baabba'nay! Aad iyo aad baannu u ceebownay, maxaa yeelay, dalkii waannu ka tagnay, oo hoyaashayadiina waa nalaga dumiyey.

“For a voice of wailing is heard from Zion, ‘ How are we ruined! We are put to great shame, For we have left the land, Because they have cast down our dwellings.’”

20 D umarow, bal erayga Rabbiga maqla, oo dhegihiinnuna erayga afkiisa ha aqbaleen, oo gabdhihiinnana baroorashada bara, oo middiin kastaaba teeda kale ha barto.

Now hear the word of the Lord, O you women, And let your ear receive the word of His mouth; Teach your daughters wailing, And everyone her neighbor a dirge.

21 W aayo, geeri baa daaqadahayaga nooga soo dustay, oo waxay soo gashay daarahayaga inay carruurta dibadda ka baabbi'iso, oo ay barbaarradana jidadka ka baabbi'iso.

For death has come up through our windows; It has entered our palaces To cut off the children from the streets, The young men from the town squares.

22 W axaad tidhaahdaa, Rabbigu wuxuu leeyahay, Dadka meydkiisu wuxuu u soo daadan doonaa sida digo berrin bannaan taal oo kale iyo sida gacan muggeed oo ka hadhay nin beer soo goostay, oo ciduna sooma ururin doonto.

Speak, “Thus says the Lord, ‘The corpses of men will fall like dung on the open field, And like the sheaf after the reaper, But no one will gather them.’”

23 R abbigu wuxuu leeyahay, Kii xigmad lahu yuusan xigmaddiisa ku faanin, oo kii xoog badanuna yuusan xooggiisa ku faanin, oo kii taajir ahuna yuusan maalkiisa ku faanin,

Thus says the Lord, “ Let not a wise man boast of his wisdom, and let not the mighty man boast of his might, let not a rich man boast of his riches;

24 l aakiinse kii faanaa ha ku faano inuu i garanayo oo uu i yaqaan inaan anigu ahay Rabbiga dhulka ku sameeya raxmadda, iyo caddaaladda, iyo xaqnimada, waayo, Rabbigu wuxuu leeyahay, Waxyaalahaasaan ku farxaa.

but let him who boasts boast of this, that he understands and knows Me, that I am the Lord who exercises lovingkindness, justice and righteousness on earth; for I delight in these things,” declares the Lord.

25 R abbigu wuxuu leeyahay, Bal ogaada, waxaa iman doona wakhtigii aan ciqaabi doono kuwa gudan oo uurka ka buuryaqabka ah oo dhan,

“Behold, the days are coming,” declares the Lord, “that I will punish all who are circumcised and yet uncircumcised—

26 k uwaasoo ah reer Masar, iyo dadka Yahuudah, iyo reer Edom, iyo reer Cammoon, iyo reer Moo'aab, iyo kuwa timaha madaxa dhinac ka jara oo cidlada jooga oo dhan, waayo, quruumahaas oo dhammu waa wada buuryaqab, oo dadka Israa'iil oo dhammu xagga qalbigay buuryaqab ka yihiin.

Egypt and Judah, and Edom and the sons of Ammon, and Moab and all those inhabiting the desert who clip the hair on their temples; for all the nations are uncircumcised, and all the house of Israel are uncircumcised of heart.”
