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 a word of Jehovah, sons of Israel, For a strife to Jehovah with inhabitants of the land, For there is no truth, nor kindness, Nor 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.

Swearing, and lying, and murdering, And stealing, and committing adultery -- have increased, And blood against blood hath touched.

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 mourn doth the land, And weak is every dweller in it, With the beast of the field, And with the fowl of the heavens, And the fishes of the sea -- they are removed.

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

Only, let no one strive, nor reprove a man, And thy people as those striving with a priest.

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

And thou hast stumbled in the day, And stumbled hath also a prophet with thee in the night, And I have cut off thy 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.

Cut off have been My people for lack of knowledge, Because thou knowledge hast rejected, I reject thee from being priest to Me, And thou forgettest the law of thy God, I forget thy sons, I also!

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

According to their abundance so they sinned against Me, Their honour into shame I change.

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

The sin of My people they do eat, And unto their iniquity lift up their soul.

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 hath been, like people, like priest, And I have charged on it its ways, And its habitual doings I return to it.

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

And they have eaten, and are not satisfied, They have gone a-whoring, and increase not, For they have left off taking heed to Jehovah.

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

Whoredom, and wine, and new wine, take the heart,

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 at its staff asketh and its rod declareth to it, For a spirit of whoredoms hath caused to err, And they go a-whoring from under 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.

On tops of the mountains they do sacrifice, And on the hills they make perfume, Under oak, and poplar, and terebinth, For good its shade.

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.

Therefore commit whoredom do your daughters, And your spouses commit adultery, I do not see after your daughters when they commit whoredom, And after your spouses when they commit adultery, For they with the harlots are separated, And with the whores they do sacrifice, A people that doth not understand kicketh.

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 a harlot thou, O Israel, Let not Judah become guilty, And come not ye in to Gilgal, nor go up to Beth-Aven, Nor swear ye, Jehovah liveth.

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 as a refractory heifer hath Israel turned aside, Now doth Jehovah feed them as a lamb in a large place.

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

Joined to idols Ephraim, let him alone.

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

Sour their drink, They have gone diligently a-whoring, Her protectors have loved shame thoroughly.

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

Distressed her hath wind with its wings, And they are ashamed of their sacrifices!
