1 W adaaddadow, tan maqla, oo dadka Israa'iilow, dhegaysta, oo reerka boqorkow, dhegta u dhiga, waayo, xukun baa idinku dhacaya, maxaa yeelay, waxaad ahaydeen dabin Misfaah ku yaal, iyo shabag Buur Taaboor ku kala fidsan.

“Hear this, O religious leaders! Listen, O people of Israel! Listen, O family of the king! For you are to be judged. You have been a trap at Mizpah, and a net spread out on Tabor.

2 O o caasiyiintii aad iyo aad bay layntii ugu dheeraadeen, aniguse kan dhammaantood canaanta baan ahay.

Those who will not obey have gone deep into sin, but I will punish all of them.

3 A nigu waan aqaan reer Efrayim, dadka Israa'iilna igama qarsoona, waayo, haatan reer Efrayimow, waad sinaysateen, dadka Israa'iilna way nijaasoobeen.

I know all about Ephraim. Israel is not hidden from Me. O Ephraim, you have acted like a woman who sells the use of her body. Israel has made itself unclean.

4 F alimahoodu u oggolaan maayaan inay Ilaahoodii ku soo noqdaan, waayo, damaca sinadu waa ku dhex jiraa, oo Rabbiga ma ay yaqaaniin.

Their wrong-doing will not allow them to return to their God. For a spirit of a woman who sells the use of her body is within them, and they do not know the Lord.

5 W axaa dadka Israa'iil ku marag fura kibirkooda, haddaba dadka Israa'iil iyo reer Efrayimba waxay ku turunturoon doonaan xumaantooda, dadka Yahuudahna way la turunturoon doonaan iyaga.

The pride of Israel speaks against them. Israel and Ephraim fall in their sin, and Judah has fallen with them.

6 W axay kaxayn doonaan adhyahooda iyo ishkinkooda iyagoo Rabbiga doondoonaya, laakiinse isaga ma ay heli doonaan, waayo, wuu ka noqday iyaga.

They will go with their flocks and cattle to look for the Lord, but they will not find Him. He has gone away from them.

7 R abbiga khiyaano ayay kula macaamiloodeen, waayo, waxay dhaleen carruur garacyo ah, haddaba bil baa lagu baabbi'in doonaa iyaga iyo waxoodaba.

They have not been faithful to the Lord, for they have given birth to children who are not His. Now the new moon will destroy them with their land. War between Judah and Israel

8 W ar buunka Gibecaah ka afuufa, turumbadana Raamaah, oo Beytaawen ka dhawaaqa. Reer Benyaamiinow, waa laydin daba socdaa.

“Blow the horn in Gibeah and in Ramah! Let the sound of danger be heard at Beth-aven! Look behind you, Benjamin!

9 D alka reer Efrayim wuxuu ahaan doonaa meel cidlo ah maalinta canaanta. Waxaan qabiilooyinka reer binu Israa'iil dhexdooda ka ogeysiiyey waxa xaqiiqa ahaan u dhici doona.

Ephraim will be laid waste in the day of punishment. Among the family groups of Israel I make known what is sure.

10 A miirrada dalka Yahuudah waxay la mid yihiin kuwa durkiya calaamada soohdinta. Cadhadayda ayaan ugu dul shubi doonaa sida biyaha oo kale.

The leaders of Judah are like those who take away the land-marks. I will pour out My anger on them like water.

11 R eer Efrayim waa la dulmay, oo xukun baa lagu burburiyey, waayo, raalli bay ku ahaayeen inay amarka daba socdaan.

It is hard for Ephraim. He is crushed by punishment, because he wanted to follow what is of no worth.

12 H addaba sidaas daraaddeed reer Efrayim waxaan u ahay sida balanbaallista oo kale, oo dadka Yahuudahna waxaan u ahay sida waxa qudhmay oo kale.

So I am like a moth to Ephraim, and like a wasting disease to the people of Judah.

13 R eer Efrayim markuu arkay cudurkiisa, oo dadka Yahuudahna ay dhaawacooda arkeen, markaasaa reer Efrayim wuxuu tegey dalka Ashuur, oo wuxuu u cid dirsaday Boqor Yaareeb. Laakiinse isagu ma awoodo inuu ku bogsiiyo, oo dhaawacaaga kaa dawayn maayo.

When Ephraim saw his sickness and Judah saw his sore, then Ephraim went to Assyria and sent to King Jareb for help. But he is not able to cure you, or heal your sore.

14 W aayo, waxaan reer Efrayim ku noqon doonaa sidii aar libaax oo kale, oo dadka Yahuudahna waxaan ku noqon doonaa sidii aaran libaax oo kale. Anigu qudhayda ayaa jeexjeexan doona oo bixi doona, waan la tegi doonaa, oo mid iga samatabbixiyaana ma jiri doono.

For I will be like a lion to Ephraim, and like a young lion to the people of Judah. I will tear them to pieces and go away. I will carry them away, with no one to take them.

15 A nigu waan tegi doonaa oo waxaan ku noqon doonaa meeshaydii, jeeray iyagu xumaantooda qirtaan oo ay i doondoonaan. Iyagoo cidhiidhi ku dhex jira ayay aad ii doondooni doonaan.

I will go away and return to My place until they know they are guilty and look for Me. In their suffering they will try to find Me.”
