1 O o anigu waxaan idhi, Waan idin baryayaaye madaxda reer Yacquub iyo taliyayaasha dalka Israa'iilow, i maqla. Sow idinkuma habboona inaad caddaaladda taqaanniin?

And I said, “ Hear now, heads of Jacob And rulers of the house of Israel. Is it not for you to know justice?

2 I dinku wanaagga waad neceb tihiin oo sharkaad jeceshihiin, oo haraggoodana waad ka mudhxisaan, oo hilibkoodana lafahooda waad ka mudhxisaan.

“You who hate good and love evil, Who tear off their skin from them And their flesh from their bones,

3 O o weliba waxaad cuntaan hilibka dadkayga, oo haraggoodana waad ka siibtaan, oo lafahoodana waad jejebisaan, haah, oo waxaad u kala gogooysaan sidii hilib dheri loo diyaariyo, iyo sidii hilib digsi ku jiro.

Who eat the flesh of my people, Strip off their skin from them, Break their bones And chop them up as for the pot And as meat in a kettle.”

4 M arkaasay Rabbiga u qayshan doonaan, laakiinse isagu uma uu jawaabi doono, oo weliba wakhtigaas wejigiisa wuu ka qarin doonaa, waana sidii ay iyagu falimahooda xumaanta ugu sameeyeen.

Then they will cry out to the Lord, But He will not answer them. Instead, He will hide His face from them at that time Because they have practiced evil deeds.

5 R abbigu sidaasuu kaga leeyahay nebiyada dadkayga qalda, oo qaniina oo haddana ku qayliya, Nabad, oo ku dhawaaqa in lala diriro ku alla kii aan afkooda wax ku ridin.

Thus says the Lord concerning the prophets who lead my people astray; When they have something to bite with their teeth, They cry, “Peace,” But against him who puts nothing in their mouths They declare holy war.

6 H addaba sidaas daraaddeed waxay idiin noqon doontaa habeen, waxbana laydinma tusi doono, oo waxay idiin noqon doontaa gudcur, mana aad faalan doontaan, oo qorraxdu way dhici doontaa nebiyada oo jooga, oo maalintuna way ku madoobaan doontaa iyaga.

Therefore it will be night for you—without vision, And darkness for you—without divination. The sun will go down on the prophets, And the day will become dark over them.

7 O o kuwa wax arka way ceeboobi doonaan, oo faaliyayaashuna way isku wareeri doonaan, haah, oo dhammaantood waxay dabooli doonaan bushimahooda, waayo, ma jirto jawaab Rabbiga ka timid.

The seers will be ashamed And the diviners will be embarrassed. Indeed, they will all cover their mouths Because there is no answer from God.

8 L aakiinse sida runta ah aniga waxaa iga buuxa xoog iyo caddaalad iyo itaal uu Ruuxa Rabbigu i geliyey si aan reer Yacquub xadgudubkiisa ugu sheego, oo aan dadka Israa'iil dembigiisa ugu sheego.

On the other hand I am filled with power— With the Spirit of the Lord — And with justice and courage To make known to Jacob his rebellious act, Even to Israel his sin.

9 M adaxda reer Yacquub iyo taliyayaasha dalka Israa'iilow, waan idin baryayaaye, waxan maqla, kuwiinna caddaaladda neceb oo qummanaanta qalloociya.

Now hear this, heads of the house of Jacob And rulers of the house of Israel, Who abhor justice And twist everything that is straight,

10 S iyoon dhiig bay ku dhisaan, Yeruusaalemna xumaan bay ku dhisaan.

Who build Zion with bloodshed And Jerusalem with violent injustice.

11 M adaxdoodu laaluush bay wax ku xukumaan, wadaaddadooduna kiro bay dadka wax ku baraan, oo nebiyadooduna lacag bay u faaliyaan, oo weliba Rabbiga bay ku tiirsadaan iyagoo leh, Sow Rabbigu dhexdayada ma joogo? Belaayo innaba naguma degi doonto.

Her leaders pronounce judgment for a bribe, Her priests instruct for a price And her prophets divine for money. Yet they lean on the Lord saying, “ Is not the Lord in our midst? Calamity will not come upon us.”

12 H addaba sidaas daraaddeed idinka aawadiin Siyoon waxaa loo jeexi doonaa sida beer oo kale, oo Yeruusaalemna waxay noqon doontaa taallooyin burbur ah, oo buurta guriguna waxay noqon doontaa sida meelaha sare ee kaynta ku yaal oo kale.

Therefore, on account of you Zion will be plowed as a field, Jerusalem will become a heap of ruins, And the mountain of the temple will become high places of a forest.
