1 D ahabkii sidee buu u dhalaal beelay! Dahabkii ugu wada saafiyaysnaase sidee buu u beddelmay! Dhagxantii meesha quduuska ahna waxaa lagu daadshay rukunka jid kasta.

How dark the gold has become! How the pure gold has changed! The stones from the house of God are poured out at the corner of every street.

2 W iilashii Siyoon ee qaaliga ahaa oo dahabka saafiga ah la mid ahaa Sidee baa loogu tiriyey dheryo dhoobo ah oo uu dheryasameeyuhu gacmaha ku sameeyey oo kale!

The sons of Zion are worth their weight in fine gold. But they are thought of as clay pots, the work of a pot-maker’s hands!

3 X ataa dawacooyinku naasahay soo bixiyaan, oo dhallaankooda way nuujiyaan, Laakiinse dadkaygu way u naxariis darnaadeen sida gorayada cidlada joogta.

Even wild dogs give their breast to feed their young, but my people show no pity. They are like ostriches in the desert.

4 C aanonuugga carrabkiisu wuxuu dhabxanagga ugu dhegaa oon daraaddiis Carruurta yaryaruna kibis bay baryaan, laakiinse ciduna uma gooyso.

The baby’s tongue sticks to the roof of its mouth because of thirst. The children beg for bread, but no one gives it to them.

5 K uwii cunto macaan cuni jiray jidadkay ku baabba'aan. Kuwii dharka cas ku soo korayna meesha digaday ku dhegaan.

Those who ate fine foods are dying in the streets. Those who were brought up dressed in purple now lie in ashes.

6 C iqaabta xumaanta dadkaygu way ka sii weyn tahay ciqaabtii dembigii Sodom, Taasoo daqiiqad qudha lagu afgembiyey iyadoo aan ciduna far saarin.

For the sin of the daughter of my people is worse than the sin of Sodom, which was destroyed all at once without a hand turned to help her.

7 K uweedii ahaa Nadiir Ilaah loo soocay barafka cad way ka sii daahirsanaayeen, oo caanahana way ka sii caddaayeen, Oo jidhkooduna murjaanta cas wuu ka sii guduudnaa, oo midabkooduna wuxuu ahaa sidii safayr oo kale.

Her religious leaders were more pure than snow. They were more white than milk. Their bodies were more red than coral. They were more beautiful than sapphire.

8 J aahoodu dhuxul wuu ka sii madow yahay, oo markay jidadka marayaanna lama garto. Haraggoodii lafuhuu ku dhegaa oo waa engegay, oo wuxuu noqday sidii qori oo kale.

Now they look more black than dark ashes. No one knows who they are in the streets. Their skin has dried up on their bones. It has become as dry as wood.

9 K uwa seefta lagu laayo waa ka roon yihiin kuwa gaajada u le'da, Waayo, kuwanu way caatoobaan oo abaar bay u bakhtiyayaan iyagoo midhihii beeraha waayay.

Those who are killed with the sword are better off than those killed with hunger. For they waste away, suffering because they have no fruits of the field.

10 N aagihii raxiimka ahaa gacmahoodii waxay kariyeen carruurtoodii, Oo waxay iyagu u noqdeen cuntadoodii markii la baabbi'iyey dadkayga.

Women who had shown loving-kindness have boiled their own children for food, because my people are destroyed.

11 R abbigu cadhadiisii buu sii daayay, oo xanaaqiisii kululaa wuu daadiyey. Siyoonna dab buu ka dhex shiday oo aasaaskeedii wuu baabbi'iyey.

The Lord has acted in His anger. He has poured out His burning anger, and has set a fire in Zion which has burned it to the ground.

12 B oqorrada dhulka iyo dadka dunida deggan oo dhammuba ma ay rumaysteen In cadowga iyo nacabku ay irdaha Yeruusaalem geli doonaan.

The kings of the earth and all the people of the world did not believe that those who hated them could come into the gates of Jerusalem.

13 S ababteeduna waxay ahayd dembiyadii nebiyadeeda iyo xumaatooyinkii wadaaddadeeda Kuwaasoo dhexdeeda dhiiggii kuwa xaqa ah ku daadshay.

This was because of the sins of her men who spoke in God’s name, and the sins of her religious leaders, who killed those within her who were right and good.

14 S idii iyagoo indha la' ayay jidadka iska daba wareegaan oo dhiig bay ku nijaasaysan yihiin, Sidaas daraaddeed dharkooda lama taaban karo.

They walked as blind men through the streets. They were made unclean with blood so that no one could touch their clothing.

15 W axaa iyaga loogu qayliyey, War taga, nijaas yahay! Taga, taga, oo hana taabanina. Markay carareen oo ay iska daba wareegeen ayaa quruumaha waxaa laga dhex yidhi, Iyagu halkan innaba sii degganaan maayaan.

People cried to them, “Go away! You are unclean! Leave! Go away! Do not touch!” So they ran away and traveled from place to place. Men among the nations said, “They must not stay with us any longer.”

16 R abbigu cadhadiisuu ku kala firdhiyey, oo mar dambe fiiro u lahaan maayo. Wadaaddadii lama sharfin, oo odayaashiina looma nixin.

The Lord Himself has sent them everywhere. He will not care about them any more. They did not honor the religious leaders or favor the leaders of the people.

17 I ntaannu waxtarla'aan caawimaad u fiirinaynay ayaa indhihii na daaleen. Quruuntii aannu fiirinaynay waxay ahayd quruun aan na badbaadin karin.

Our eyes have become weak in looking for help that did not come. In our watching we have waited for a nation that was not able to save us.

18 W ay na raadraadiyaan, oo jidadkayagana ma mari karno. Ugudambaystayadii way soo dhowaatay. Cimrigayagii wuu dhammaaday, waayo, ugudambaystayadii way timid.

They kept following after our steps so that we could not walk in our streets. Our end came near. Our days were finished, for our end had come.

19 K uwii na eryanayay gorgorka samada way ka sii dheereeyeen. Waxay nagu eryadeen buuraha dushooda, oo cidlada dhexdeeda way noogu gabbadeen.

Those who came after us were faster than the eagles of the sky. They came after us on the mountains. They hid and waited for us in the desert.

20 K ii sankayaga neefta u ahaa oo ahaa kii Rabbigu subkay ayaa godadkoodii lagu qabtay, Kaasoo aannu nidhi, Quruumaha dhexdooda ayaannu hooskiisa ku sii degganaanaynaa.

The Lord’s chosen one, our very breath, was caught in their traps. We had said about him, “Under his shadow we will live among the nations.”

21 R eer Edom oo dalka Cuus degganow, farax oo reyree. Koobku adiguu kuu soo gudbi doonaa, waanad sakhraami doontaa, oo waad isqaawin doontaa.

Be filled with joy and be glad, O people of Edom, who live in the land of Uz. But the cup will be passed to you also. You will become drunk and your shame will be seen.

22 M agaalada Siyoonay, ciqaabtii xumaantaadu way dhammaatay. Isagu innaba mar dambe maxaabiis ahaan kuu kaxaysan maayo. Reer Edomow, xumaantaada wuu soo ciqaabi doonaa, Oo dembiyadaadana daahuu ka qaadi doonaa.

The punishment of your sin is completed, O people of Zion. The Lord will not keep you away any longer. But He will punish your sin, Edom. He will let your sins be seen!
