1 D adka Israa'iilow, maqla eraygan aan idiinku barooranayo.

Hear this word which I take up against you, a lamentation, O house of Israel:

2 B ikradda ah dalka Israa'iil waa dhacday, oo mar dambena ma sara joogsan doonto. Dalkeedii ayaa lagu dayriyey, oo qof kor u qaada lama arko.

The virgin of Israel has fallen; She will rise no more. She lies forsaken on her land; There is no one to raise her up.

3 W aayo, Sayidka Rabbiga ahu wuxuu leeyahay, Magaaladii ay kuni ka bixi jireen boqol baa u hadhi doona, oo tii ay boqoli ka bixi jireenna toban baa dadka Israa'iil u hadhi doona.

For thus says the Lord God: “The city that goes out by a thousand Shall have a hundred left, And that which goes out by a hundred Shall have ten left to the house of Israel.” A Call to Repentance

4 W aayo, Rabbigu wuxuu dadka Israa'iil ku leeyahay, Aniga i doondoona aad noolaataane.

For thus says the Lord to the house of Israel: “Seek Me and live;

5 L aakiinse Beytel ha doondoonina, Gilgaalna ha gelina, Bi'ir Shebacna ha u gudbina, waayo, sida xaqiiqada ah Gilgaal maxaabiisnimo bay geli doontaa, oo Beytelna way baabbi'i doontaa.

But do not seek Bethel, Nor enter Gilgal, Nor pass over to Beersheba; For Gilgal shall surely go into captivity, And Bethel shall come to nothing.

6 S i aad u noolaataan, oo uusan Rabbigu sidii dab reer Yuusuf ugu soo farabbaxsan, oo aan dabku laasan, oo aan Beytel laga waayin wax demiya, Rabbiga doondoona,

Seek the Lord and live, Lest He break out like fire in the house of Joseph, And devour it, With no one to quench it in Bethel—

7 k uwiinna caddaaladda u roga dacar oo xaqnimadana dhulka ku tuura.

You who turn justice to wormwood, And lay righteousness to rest in the earth!”

8 D oondoona kan sameeyey ururrada xiddigaha ah oo la yidhaahdo Toddobaadyada iyo Oriyon, oo gudcurka subaxnimo u beddela, oo maalintana madoobeeya si ay habeen u noqoto, kan biyaha badda u yeedha oo dhulka ku daadiya, magiciisu waa Rabbi.

He made the Pleiades and Orion; He turns the shadow of death into morning And makes the day dark as night; He calls for the waters of the sea And pours them out on the face of the earth; The Lord is His name.

9 I sagu baabba' buu ku dejiyaa kuwa xoogga badan, si ay baabba'du ugu dhacdo qalcadda.

He rains ruin upon the strong, So that fury comes upon the fortress.

10 W ay neceb yihiin kii iridda wax ku canaanta, oo way karhaan kii si qumman u hadla.

They hate the one who rebukes in the gate, And they abhor the one who speaks uprightly.

11 M iskiinka baad ku tumataan, oo waxaad ka qaadataan sarreen badan, sidaas daraaddeed guryihii aad dhagax la qoray ka dhisateen kuma hoyan doontaan, oo beercanabyadii wanwanaagsanaa ee aad beerateenna khamrigooda kama cabbi doontaan.

Therefore, because you tread down the poor And take grain taxes from him, Though you have built houses of hewn stone, Yet you shall not dwell in them; You have planted pleasant vineyards, But you shall not drink wine from them.

12 W aayo, waan ogahay xadgudubyadiinnu inay badan yihiin, iyo dembiyadiinnu inay waaweyn yihiin, kuwiinnan kii xaqa ah dhiba, ee laaluush qaata, oo masaakiinta iridda joogtana xaqooda ka leexiya.

For I know your manifold transgressions And your mighty sins: Afflicting the just and taking bribes; Diverting the poor from justice at the gate.

13 H addaba kii miyir lahu wakhtigaas wuu aamusnaan doonaa, waayo, waa wakhti shar ah.

Therefore the prudent keep silent at that time, For it is an evil time.

14 W anaagga doondoona, sharkase ha doondoonina, aad noolaataane, oo sidaasuu Rabbiga ah Ilaaha ciidammadu idiinla jiri doonaa sidaad u tidhaahdaan.

Seek good and not evil, That you may live; So the Lord God of hosts will be with you, As you have spoken.

15 S harka nebcaada, oo wanaagga jeclaada, oo caddaalad iridda ku sameeya, waayo, waxaa suurtowda in Rabbiga ah Ilaaha ciidammadu uu u roonaado kuwa reer Yuusuf ka hadhay.

Hate evil, love good; Establish justice in the gate. It may be that the Lord God of hosts Will be gracious to the remnant of Joseph. The Day of the Lord

16 H addaba Rabbiga ah Ilaaha ciidammada oo ah Sayidku wuxuu leeyahay, Dariiqyada oo dhan waxaa ka yeedhi doonta baroor, oo jidadka oo dhan waxaa laga odhan doonaa, Hoogay! Hoogay! Oo ninka beerreyda ah waxaa loogu yeedhi doonaa tacsi, oo kuwa baroorta aad u yaqaanna waxaa loogu yeedhi doonaa baroorasho.

Therefore the Lord God of hosts, the Lord, says this: “ There shall be wailing in all streets, And they shall say in all the highways, ‘Alas! Alas!’ They shall call the farmer to mourning, And skillful lamenters to wailing.

17 O o beercanabyada oo dhanna waxaa jiri doonta baroorasho, waayo, Rabbigu wuxuu leeyahay, Anigu waan idin dhex mari doonaa. Maalintii Rabbiga

In all vineyards there shall be wailing, For I will pass through you,” Says the Lord.

18 K uwiinna maalinta Rabbiga jeclaystow, waa idiin hoog. Maxaad maalinta Rabbiga u doonaysaan? Waa gudcur, oo iftiin ma aha.

Woe to you who desire the day of the Lord! For what good is the day of the Lord to you? It will be darkness, and not light.

19 W aa sidii nin libaax ka cararay oo orso ka hor timid, ama intuu guri galay derbiga ku tiirsaday oo markaas abeeso gacanta ka qaniintay.

It will be as though a man fled from a lion, And a bear met him! Or as though he went into the house, Leaned his hand on the wall, And a serpent bit him!

20 M aalinta Rabbigu sow ma ahaan doonto gudcur aan iftiin lahayn, iyo xataa gudcur weyn oo aan dhalaal lahayn?

Is not the day of the Lord darkness, and not light? Is it not very dark, with no brightness in it?

21 I idihiinna waan nebcahay, waanna quudhsadaa, oo shirarkiinnana kuma farxo.

“I hate, I despise your feast days, And I do not savor your sacred assemblies.

22 I n kastoo aad ii bixisaan qurbaannadiinna aad gubtaan iyo qurbaannadiinna hadhuudhka ah anigu aqbali maayo, oo qurbaannadiinna nabaadiino oo xoolihiinna buurbuuranna dan ka yeelan maayo.

Though you offer Me burnt offerings and your grain offerings, I will not accept them, Nor will I regard your fattened peace offerings.

23 I ga fogeeya qaylada gabayadiinna, waayo, anigu dhegaysan maayo luuqda shareeradihiinna.

Take away from Me the noise of your songs, For I will not hear the melody of your stringed instruments.

24 L aakiinse caddaaladdu sida biyo ha u qulqusho, oo xaqnimaduna sida webi fatahaya ha u yaacdo.

But let justice run down like water, And righteousness like a mighty stream.

25 B al reer binu Israa'iilow, allabaryo iyo qurbaanno miyaad cidladii iigu bixiseen afartankii sannadood?

“Did you offer Me sacrifices and offerings In the wilderness forty years, O house of Israel?

26 W axaadse sidateen Taambuuggii Moleg iyo sanamyadii Kiyuun, kaasoo ah xiddigtii ilaahiinnii ee aad nafsaddiinna u samaysateen.

You also carried Sikkuth your king And Chiun, your idols, The star of your gods, Which you made for yourselves.

27 H addaba sidaas daraaddeed Rabbiga magiciisu yahay Ilaaha ciidammadu wuxuu leeyahay, Anigu waxaan idinka dhigi doonaa in maxaabiis ahaan laydiinku kaxaysto Dimishaq shishadeeda.

Therefore I will send you into captivity beyond Damascus,” Says the Lord, whose name is the God of hosts.
