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 priests, and attend, O house of Israel, And, O house of the king, give ear, For the judgment for you, For, a snare ye have been on 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.

And to slaughter sinners have gone deep, And I a fetter to them all.

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

I have known Ephraim, And Israel hath not been hid from me, For now thou hast gone a-whoring, Ephraim, Defiled is Israel.

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

They give not up their habitual doings, To turn back unto their God, For a spirit of whoredoms in their midst, And Jehovah they have not known.

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.

And humbled hath been the excellency of Israel to his face, And Israel and Ephraim stumble by their iniquity, Stumbled also hath Judah with them.

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

With their flock and with their herd, They go to seek Jehovah, and do not find, He hath withdrawn from them.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.

Against Jehovah they dealt treacherously, For strange sons they have begotten, Now consume them doth a month their portions.

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

Blow ye a cornet in Gibeah, a trumpet in Ramah, Shout, O Beth-Aven, after thee, O 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 is for a desolation in a day of reproof, Among the tribes of Israel I have made known a sure thing.

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

Princes of Judah have been as those removing a border, On them I do pour out as water My wrath.

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

Oppressed is Ephraim, broken in judgment, When he pleased he went after the command.

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.

And I as a moth to Ephraim, And as a rotten thing to the house 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.

And see doth Ephraim his sickness, and Judah his wound, And Ephraim goeth unto Asshur, And sendeth unto a warlike king, And he is not able to give healing to you, Nor doth he remove from you a scar.

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 as a lion to Ephraim, And as a young lion to the house of Judah, I -- I tear and go, I bear away, and there is no deliverer.

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 go -- I turn back unto My place, Till that they are desolate, and have sought My face. In their distress they do seek Me speedily!'
