1 W axaad wiilasha walaalihiinna ah ku tidhaahdaan, Cammii, gabdhaha walaalihiinna ahna waxaad ku tidhaahdaan, Ruxaamaah. Ciqaabtii Iyo Soo Celintii Israa'iil

`Say ye to your brethren -- Ammi, And to your sisters -- Ruhamah.

2 H ooyadiin barya, ee barya, waayo, iyadu ma aha afadaydii, oo aniguna ma ahi ninkeedii. Oo wejigeeda ha ka fogayso dhillanimadeeda, oo sinadeedana ha ka fujiso naasaheeda dhexdooda,

Plead ye with your mother -- plead, (For she not My wife, and I not her husband,) And she turneth her whoredoms from before her, And her adulteries from between her breasts,

3 s i aanan iyada u qaawin, oo aanan uga dhigin sidii maalintii ay dhalatay, oo aanan uga dhigin sidii meel cidla ah, oo aanan uga dhigin sidii dhul engegan, oo aanan harraad ugu dilin.

Lest I strip her naked. And have set her up as the day of her birth, And have made her as a wilderness, And have set her as a dry land, And have put her to death with thirst.

4 H aah, oo carruurteeda uma aan naxariisan doono, waayo, waa dhillo carruurteed.

And her sons I do not pity, For sons of whoredoms they,

5 W aayo, hooyadood waa dhillowday, oo tii iyaga uuraysatay waxay samaysay wax ceeb weyn ah, waayo, waxay tidhi, Anigu waan daba gelayaa kuwa i caashaqa ee i siiya kibistayda iyo biyahayga, iyo suufkayga, iyo waxayga linenka ah, iyo saliiddayda, iyo cabniinkayga.

For gone a-whoring hath their mother, Acted shamefully hath their conceiver, For she hath said, I go after my lovers, Those giving my bread and my water, My wool and my flax, my oil and my drink.

6 H addaba bal eeg, anigu jidkaaga waxaan ku awdi doonaa qodxan, oo deyr baan iyada hor dhigi doonaa, si ayan dhabbaheedii u helin.

Therefore, lo, I am hedging up thy way with thorns, And I have made for her a wall, And her paths she doth not find.

7 O o iyana waxay daba geli doontaa kuwa iyada caashaqi jiray, laakiinse ma ay gaadhi doonto. Way doondooni doontaa, laakiinse innaba ma ay heli doonto. Kolkaasay odhan doontaa, Waxaan ku noqon doonaa ninkaygii hore, waayo, markaasaa iiga roonayd siday haatan tahay.

And she hath pursued her lovers, And she doth not overtake them, And hath sought them, and doth not find, And she hath said: I go, and I turn back unto My first husband, For -- better to me then than now.

8 W aayo, iyadu ma ay ogayn inaan anigu siiyey hadhuudhka, iyo khamriga, iyo saliidda, iyo inaan iyada ku badiyey lacag iyo dahab ay iyagu Bacal ugu isticmaali jireen.

And she knew not that I had given to her, The corn, and the new wine, and the oil. Yea, silver I did multiply to her, And the gold they prepared for Baal.

9 H addaba sidaas daraaddeed anigu hadhuudhkayga wakhtigiisa waan ceshan doonaa, oo khamrigaygana xilligiisa waan ceshan doonaa, oo suufkayga iyo waxayga linenka ah ee cawradeeda dedi lahaana waan ka qaadi doonaa.

Therefore do I turn back, And I have taken My corn in its season, And My new wine in its appointed time, And I have taken away My wool and My flax, covering her nakedness.

10 O o haatan waxaan soo bandhigi doonaa ceebteeda iyadoo ay u jeedaan kuwa iyada caashaqi jiray, oo ninna iyada kama samatabbixin doono gacantayda.

And now do I reveal her dishonour before the eyes of her lovers, And none doth deliver her out of My hand.

11 O o weliba farxaddeeda oo dhanna waan wada joojin doonaa, tan ciidaheeda, iyo bilaheeda cusub, iyo sabtiyadeeda, iyo shirarkeedaba.

And I have caused to cease all her joy, Her festival, her new moon, and her sabbath, Even all her appointed times,

12 O o waxaan baabbi'in doonaa geedaheedii canabka ahaa iyo dhirteedii berdaha ahayd oo ay iyadu tidhi, Kuwanu waa kiradaydii ay kuwii i caashaqi jiray i siiyeen. Oo waxaan iyaga ka dhigi doonaa duud, waxaana daaqi doona xayawaanka duurka.

And made desolate her vine and her fig-tree, Of which she said, A gift they to me, That my lovers have given to me, And I have made them for a forest, And consumed them hath a beast of the field.

13 R abbigu wuxuu leeyahay, Waxaan iyada u taqsiiri doonaa maalmihii ay fooxa Bacaliim u shidday, oo ay isku sharraxday hilqadaheedii iyo dahabkeedii, oo ay daba gashay kuwii iyada caashaqi jiray, anigase ay i illowday.

And I have charged on her the days of the Baalim, To whom she maketh perfume, And putteth on her ring and her ornament, And goeth after her lovers, And Me forgat -- an affirmation of Jehovah.

14 H addaba bal eeg, qalbigeedaan soo jiidi doonaa, oo cidladaan iyada keeni doonaa, oo si qabow baan ula hadli doonaa.

Therefore, lo, I am enticing her, And have caused her to go to the wilderness, And I have spoken unto her heart,

15 O o waxaan iyada halkaas ka siin doonaa beeraheedii canabka ahaa, oo dooxada Caakoorna waxaan uga dhigi doonaa albaab rajo, oo iyana halkaasay ku jawaabi doontaa, sidii waagii ay dhallintayarayd oo kale, iyo sidii maalintii ay dalkii Masar ka soo baxday.

And given to her her vineyards from thence, And the valley of Achor for an opening of hope, And she hath responded there as in the days of her youth, And as in the day of her coming up out of the land of Egypt.

16 O o waxay maalintaas noqon doontaa inaad iigu yeedhid, Ninkaygiiyow, oo aadan mar dambe iigu yeedhin, Bacalkaygiiyow, ayaa Rabbigu leeyahay.

And it hath come to pass, in that day, An affirmation of Jehovah, Thou dost call Me -- My husband, And dost not call Me any more -- My lord.

17 W aayo, afkeeda waan ka fogayn doonaa magacyada Bacaliimta, iyana mar dambe magacooda lama soo qaadi doono.

And I have turned aside the names of the lords from her mouth, And they are not remembered any more by their name.

18 O o maalintaas waxaan iyaga aawadood axdi ula dhigi doonaa xayawaanka duurka, iyo haadda samada, iyo waxa dhulka gurguurtaba, oo dalka dhexdiisa waan ka baabbi'in doonaa qaansada iyo seefta iyo dagaalkaba, oo waxaan ka dhigi doonaa inay si ammaan ah u jiifsadaan.

And I have made to them a covenant in that day, with the beast of the field, And with the fowl of the heavens, And the creeping thing of the ground, And bow, and sword, and war I break from off the land, And have caused them to lie down confidently.

19 O o waan ku guursan doonaa inaad weligaaba tayda ahaatid. Haah, oo waxaan kugu guursan doonaa xaqnimo, iyo caddaalad, iyo raxmad, iyo naxariis.

And I have betrothed thee to Me to the age, And betrothed thee to Me in righteousness, And in judgment, and kindness, and mercies,

20 O o xataa waxaan kugu guursan doonaa daacadnimo, oo adna Rabbigaad ogaan doontaa.

And betrothed thee to Me in faithfulness, And thou hast known Jehovah.

21 O o waxay maalintaas noqon doontaa inaan jawaabo, ayaa Rabbigu leeyahay. Waxaan u jawaabi doonaa samooyinka, oo iyana waxay u jawaabi doonaan dhulka.

And it hath come to pass in that day, I answer -- an affirmation of Jehovah, I answer the heavens, and they answer the earth.

22 O o dhulkuna wuxuu u jawaabi doonaa hadhuudhka, iyo khamriga, iyo saliidda, oo iyaguna waxay u jawaabi doonaan Yesreceel.

And the earth doth answer the corn, And the new wine, and the oil, And they answer Jezreel.

23 O o anna dhulkaan iyada ku beeran doonaa, oo waan u naxariisan doonaa tii aan naxariista heli jirin, oo kuwo aan dadkayga ahaan jirin ayaan ku odhan doonaa, Idinku dadkaygaad tihiin, oo iyana waxay igu odhan doonaan, Adna waxaad tahay Ilaahayo.

And I have sowed her to Me in the land, And I have pitied Lo-Ruhamah, And I have said to Lo-Ammi, My people thou, and it saith, My God!'
