1 I na keena aan Rabbiga ku noqonnee, waayo, isagaa ina dillacshay, oo isagaa ina bogsiin doona, isagaa wax inagu dhuftay, oo isagaa nabraheenna inoo duubi doona.

`Come, and we turn back unto Jehovah, For He hath torn, and He doth heal us, He doth smite, and He bindeth us up.

2 L aba maalmood dabadeed ayuu ina soo noolayn doonaa, oo maalinta saddexaadna wuu ina soo sara kicin doonaa, oo hortiisaynu ku noolaan doonnaa.

He doth revive us after two days, In the third day He doth raise us up, And we live before Him.

3 O o aynu ogaanno, oo aynu dadaalno inaan Rabbiga ogaanno. Soobixitinkiisa sida subaxda baa loo hubaa, oo wuxuu inoogu iman doonaa sida roobka, sida roobka dambe oo dhulka biyeeya.

And we know -- we pursue to know Jehovah, As the dawn prepared is His going forth, And He cometh in as a shower to us, As gathered rain -- sprinkling earth.'

4 R eer Efrayimow, bal maxaan idinku sameeyaa? Dadka Yahuudahow, bal maxaan idinku sameeyaa? Waayo, wanaaggiinnu waa sida daruurta subaxnimo, iyo sida sayaxa aroor hore baabba'a.

What do I do to thee, O Ephraim? What do I do to thee, O Judah? Your goodness as a cloud of the morning, And as dew rising early -- going.

5 S idaas daraaddeed waxaan iyaga ku gooyay gacantii nebiyada, oo waxaan ku laayay erayadii afkayga, oo xukummadayduna waa sidii iftiinka soo baxa.

Therefore I have hewed by prophets, I have slain them by sayings of My mouth, And My judgments to the light goeth forth.

6 W aayo, waxaan doonayaa naxariis ee ma aha allabari, oo aqoonta Ilaahna waan ka jeclahay qurbaanno la gubo.

For kindness I desired, and not sacrifice, And a knowledge of God above burnt-offerings.

7 L aakiinse iyagu sidii Aadan oo kale ayay axdigii ku xadgudbeen, oo halkaasay khiyaano iigula macaamiloodeen.

And they, as Adam, transgressed a covenant, There they dealt treacherously against me.

8 G ilecaad waa magaalada kuwa xumaanta ka shaqeeya, oo dhiig baa wasakheeyey.

Gilead a city of workers of iniquity, Slippery from blood.

9 O o sidii guutooyin shufta ahu ay nin ugu gabbadaan ayaa guuto wadaaddo ahu dhiig ku daadisaa jidka u baxa Shekem, oo wasakhnimo bay sameeyeen.

And as bands do wait for a man, A company of priests do murder -- the way to Shechem, For wickedness they have done.

10 D adka Israa'iil waxaan ku dhex arkay wax aad iyo aad u xun. Reer Efrayim waxaa laga dhex helay sino, dadka Israa'iilna way nijaasoobeen.

In the house of Israel I have seen a horrible thing, There the whoredom of Ephraim -- defiled is Israel.

11 D adka Yahuudahow, markaan dadkayga maxaabiisnimada ka soo celiyo, beergoosasho laydiin amray baa idiin taal.

Also, O Judah, appointed is a harvest to thee, In My turning back the captivity of My people!
