1 D adka Israa'iilow, Rabbiga eraygiisa maqla, waayo, Rabbigu dacwad buu la leeyahay dadka dalka deggan, maxaa yeelay, dalka dhexdiisa laguma arko run, ama naxariis, ama aqoonta Ilaah toona.

Hear the word of the Lord, you children of Israel, for the Lord has a controversy (a pleading contention) with the inhabitants of the land, because there is no faithfulness, love, pity and mercy, or knowledge of God in the land.

2 I nnaba wax kale laguma arko dhaarasho been ah, iyo axdijebin, iyo dilid, iyo xadid, iyo sino mooyaane. Way soo fara baxsadaan, oo dhiiggelid baa dhiiggelid ku xigsata.

There is nothing but swearing and breaking faith and killing and stealing and committing adultery; they break out, one bloodshed following close on another.

3 O o sidaas daraaddeed ayaa dalku u barooran doonaa, oo mid kastoo dhexdiisa degganuba waa macaluuli doonaa, oo xayawaanka duurka iyo haadda samada, iyo xataa kalluunka badduna way wada baabbi'i doonaan.

Therefore shall the land mourn, and all who dwell in it shall languish, together with the wild beasts of the open country and the birds of the heavens; yes, the fishes of the sea also shall be collected and taken away.

4 L aakiinse ninna yuusan murmin, oo ninna yuusan mid kale canaanan, waayo, dadkaagu waa sida kuwa wadaadka la murma.

Yet let no man strive, neither let any man reprove, for with you is My contention, O priest.

5 O o adna maalinnimo waad turunturoon doontaa, oo habeennimona nebigu waa kula turunturoon doonaa, oo anna hooyadaa waan baabbi'in doonaa.

And you shall stumble in the daytime, and the prophet also shall stumble with you in the night; and I will destroy your mother.

6 D adkaygu waxay u baabba'aan aqoondarro daraaddeed. Aqoonta aad diidday aawadeed ayaan adiga kuu diidi doonaa, oo innaba wadaad ii ahaan maysid, maxaa yeelay, waxaad illowday sharcigii Ilaahaaga, oo aniguna waxaan illoobi doonaa carruurtaada.

My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge; because you have rejected knowledge, I will also reject you that you shall be no priest to Me; seeing you have forgotten the law of your God, I will also forget your children.

7 S idii ay u tarmeen si le'eg ayay igu dembaabeen, haddaba sharaftoodii ayaan ceeb u beddeli doonaa.

The more they increased and multiplied, the more they sinned against Me; I will change their glory into shame.

8 I yagu waxay quutaan dembigii dadkayga, wayna jeclaystaan xumaantoodii.

They feed on the sin of My people and set their heart on their iniquity.

9 O o waxay ahaan doontaa in wadaadku noqdo sida dadka oo kale, oo jidadkooda waan ciqaabi doonaa, oo falimahoodana waan ka abaalmarin doonaa.

And it shall be: Like people, like priest; I will punish them for their ways and repay them for their doings.

10 W ax bay cuni doonaan, kamana dhergi doonaan, way sinaysan doonaan, mana tarmi doonaan, maxaa yeelay, waxay ka tageen inay Rabbiga dhegaystaan.

For they shall eat and not have enough; they shall play the harlot and beget no increase, because they have forsaken the Lord for harlotry;

11 S inada iyo khamriga iyo khamriga cusububa qalbigay la tagaan.

Harlotry and wine and new wine take away the heart and the mind and the spiritual understanding.

12 D adkaygu waxay talo weyddiistaan waxooda qoriga ah, oo ushooduna wax bay u sheegtaa, waayo, damaca sinada ayaa iyaga qalday, oo Ilaahoodii way ka tageen sida naag ninkeeda ka dhillowda.

My people ask counsel of their wood, and their staff gives them oracles and instructs them. For the spirit of harlotry has led them astray and they have played the harlot, withdrawing themselves from subjection to their God.

13 W axay allabari ku bixiyaan buuraha dhaladooda, oo foox bay ku shidaan kuraha korkooda iyo geedaha alloon iyo libneh iyo eelaah la yidhaahdo hoostooda, maxaa yeelay, waxay leeyihiin hoos wanaagsan, haddaba gabdhihiinnu way dhilloobaan oo aroosadihiinnuna way sinaystaan.

They sacrifice on the tops of the mountains, and they burn incense upon the hills and under oaks, poplars, and terebinths, because there the shade is good. Therefore your daughters play the harlot and your sons’ wives commit adultery.

14 A nigu ma aan ciqaabi doono gabdhihiinna markay dhilloobaan amase aroosadihiinna markay sinaystaan, waayo, ragga qudhooduba waxay raacaan dhillooyin, oo waxay allabari la bixiyaan sharmuutooyin, oo dadkii aan wax garanaynna waa la wada afgembiyi doonaa.

I will not punish your daughters when they play the harlot nor your daughters-in-law when they commit adultery, for themselves go aside in order to be alone with women who prostitute themselves for gain, and they sacrifice at the altar with dedicated harlots. Therefore the people without understanding shall stumble and fall and come to ruin.

15 D adka Israa'iilow, in kastoo aad dhillowdaan, yaan dadka Yahuudah isla dembigaas ku eedaysnaan, oo Gilgaal ha imanina, oo Beytaawen ha tegin, hana ku dhaaranina Rabbiga noloshiisa.

Though you, Israel, play the harlot and worship idols, let not Judah offend and become guilty; come not to Gilgal, neither go up to Beth-aven, nor swear, As the Lord lives.

16 D adka Israa'iil waxay u madax adkaadeen sidii qaalin lo'aad oo madax adag. Haddaba Rabbigu miyuu iyaga u daajinayaa sidii neef baraar ah oo berrin bannaan jooga?

For Israel has behaved stubbornly, like a stubborn heifer. How then should he expect to be fed and treated by the Lord like a lamb in a large pasture?

17 R eer Efrayim wuxuu raacay sanamyo, haddaba iska daa.

Ephraim is joined to idols, let him alone.

18 C abniinkoodii waa dhanaanaaday. Had iyo goorba way sinaystaan. Taliyayaashooduna aad bay ceebta u jecel, yihiin.

Their drinking carousal over, they go habitually to play the harlot; rulers love shame more than her glory.

19 D abayshu waxay iyaga ku soo duudduubtay baallaheedii, oo iyana allabaryadooda ayay u ceeboobi doonaan.

The resistless wind has bound up in its wings or skirts, and they and their altars shall be put to shame because of their sacrifices.
