1 H addaba markii aan damco inaan dadka Israa'iil bogsiiyo ayaa waxaa la soo bandhigaa xumaantii reer Efrayim, iyo sharnimadii dadka Samaariya, waayo, waxay sameeyaan wax been ah, oo tuuggiina guduhuu galaa, guutada shuftada ahuna dibadday wax ka dhacaan.

“Whenever I would heal Israel, I see the sin of Ephraim and the wrong-doing of Samaria. They are false in their ways. The robber breaks into houses, and sinful men rob in the streets.

2 O o qalbiga kagama ay fikiraan inaan xumaantooda oo dhan xusuusto. Haatan waxaa iyagii dhinacyada ka hareereeyey falimahoodii, oo way i hor yaallaan.

They do not think about how I remember all the sinful things they do. Their sins are all around them, and are always before Me.

3 W axay boqorka kaga farxiyaan xumaantooda, oo amiirradana beentooda.

They make the king glad with their wrong-doing, and the leaders with their lies.

4 D hammaantood waa dhillayo, oo waa sida foorno uu kibisdubuhu kululeeya oo dabka ololintiisa joojiyaa uun markuu cajiinka cajiimayo ilaa uu cajiinku khamiiro.

None of them are faithful. They are like a hot stove whose fire the bread-maker leaves alone from the time he makes the dough until the bread rises.

5 M aalinta boqorkayaga amiirradu way isku bukaysiiyeen kulaylka khamriga, isagu wuxuu gacanta u taagay kuwo wax quudhsada.

On the special day of our king the leaders became drunk with wine. He joined hands with those who laughed at the truth.

6 W aayo, iyagu waxay qalbigoodii u diyaariyeen sidii foorno oo kale intii ay wax u gabbanayeen, oo kibisdubahoodiina wuu hurdaa habeenkii oo dhan, oo aroortiina qalbigu waa u qaxmayaa sida dab ololaya oo kale.

Their hearts are like a hot stove as they make their plans. Their anger smokes all night, and in the morning it burns like a hot fire.

7 I yagu dhammaantood waxay u kulul yihiin sida foorno oo kale, oo waxay baabbi'iyaan xaakinnadooda, oo boqorradii oo dhammuna waxay yihiin kuwa dhacay, oo dhexdooda lagama arko innaba mid i barya.

All of them are hot like a stove, and they destroy their leaders. All their kings have fallen, and none of them calls to Me for help. Israel Cannot Depend on the Nations

8 R eer Efrayim dadyowguu isku dhex qasaa, reer Efrayim waa sida kibis aan la wada dubin.

“Ephraim mixes with the nations. Ephraim is a cake not turned.

9 S hisheeyayaal ayaa xooggiisa dhammeeyey, oo isna maba oga. Xataa cirraa ka soo baxday, oo isna maba oga.

Strangers destroy his strength, yet he does not know it. White hairs come upon him, yet he does not know it.

10 W axaa dadka Israa'iil ku marag fura kibirkooda, laakiinse iyagu uma ay soo noqon Rabbiga Ilaahooda ah, mana ay doondoonin isaga in kastoo ay waxyaalahaa oo dhan sameeyeen.

Israel’s pride speaks against him, yet they do not return to the Lord their God. Even for all this, they do not look for Him.

11 R eer Efrayim waa sida qoolley doqon ah oo aan waxgarasho lahayn, waayo, iyagu waxay u yeedhaan Masar oo waxay tagaan dalka Ashuur.

Ephraim is like a foolish dove that is not able to think. They call to Egypt. They go to Assyria.

12 M arkay tagaan waxaan ku kor fidin doonaa shabaggayga, oo iyagaan u soo dejin doonaa sida haadda samada, oo sidii ururkoodu maqlay ayaan iyaga u edbin doonaa.

When they go, I will spread My net over them. I will bring them down like the birds of the sky. I will punish them for the sinful things they have done.

13 I yagaa iska hoogay, waayo, way iga ambadeen! Halaag ha ku dhaco, waayo, way igu xadgudbeen! In kastoo aan iyaga soo furan lahaa haddana been bay iga sheegeen.

It is bad for them, for they have turned away from Me! They will be destroyed, for they would not obey Me! I would save them and make them free, but they speak lies against Me.

14 O o qalbigooda igama ay baryin, laakiinse sariirahooday ku kor ooyaan. Waxay u soo wada shiraan hadhuudh iyo khamri aawadood, oo anigana way igu caasiyoobaan.

They do not cry out to Me from their heart when they cry on their beds. They come together for grain and new wine, but turn away from Me.

15 I n kastoo aan wax baray oo aan gacmahooda xoogeeyey, ayay weliba shar ii fikiraan.

I taught them and gave strength to their arms, yet they make sinful plans against Me.

16 W ay soo noqdaan, laakiinse uma ay soo noqdaan kan sarreeya. Iyagu waa sida qaanso khiyaano badan oo kale. Amiirradooduna seef bay ku le'an doonaan cadhada carrabkooda daraaddeed. Tanu waxay dalka Masar ku noqon doontaa wax iyaga lagu quudhsado.

They do not turn to the Most High. They are like a bow that does not work right. Their leaders will be killed by the sword because of their proud words. And those in the land of Egypt will laugh at them.
