Ani araaran fedha malee aarsaa hin fedhuutii; aarsaa gubamu caalaa Waaqa beekuu nan fedha.
7 And they, as Adam, transgressed a covenant, There they dealt treacherously against Me.
Isaan akkuma Addaam kakuu cabsaniiru; achittis anaaf hin amanamne.
8 Gilead [is] a city of workers of iniquity, Slippery from blood.
Giliʼaad magaalaa hamootaa kan dhiigaan faalamtee dha.
9 And as bands wait for a man, A company of priests murder—the way to Shechem, For they have done wickedness.
Akkuma saamtuun riphxee nama eeggattu sana, gareen lubootaas akkasuma godhu; isaan yakka qaanessaa hojjechuudhaan karaa Sheekem irratti nama ajjeesu.
