Lamentations 5
1 Yahweh, think about what has happened to us. See that we have been disgraced.
Rabbiyow, bal xusuuso wixii nagu soo degay. Ka fiirso oo bal eeg caydii nalagu caayay.
2 Foreigners have seized our property, [and now] they live in our homes.
Dhaxalkayagii waxaa helay shisheeyayaal. Guryahayagiina waxaa iska qaatay ajnabiyo.
3 [Our enemies] have killed our fathers; they caused our mothers to become widows.
Waxaannu nahay agoommo, aabbayaal ma lihin, Oo hooyooyinkayana carmallay noqdeen
4 [Now] we are required to pay for water to drink, and we must pay [a lot of money] for firewood.
Biyahayagii lacag baannu ku cabnay, Oo qoryahayagiina waa nalaga iibiyey.
5 [It is as though] those who pursue us are at our heels; we are exhausted, but they do not allow us to rest.
Kuwii na eryanayayna way na gaadheen, Waannu daalan nahay oo nasasho ma lihin.
6 In order to get enough food [to remain alive], we went to Egypt and Assyria and offered to work [for the people there].
Waxaannu gacanta u dhiibannay Masriyiinta Iyo reer Ashuur si aannu kibis uga dheregno.
7 Our ancestors sinned, and now they are dead, but we are being punished for the sins that they committed.
Aabbayaashayo waa dembaabeen, mana joogaan, Oo annagaa xumaatooyinkoodii xambaarannay.
8 [Officials from Babylon] who were [previously] slaves [now] rule over us, and there is no one who can rescue us from their power.
Addoommaa noo taliya, Oo mid gacantooda naga samatabbixiyaana ma jiro,
9 When we roam around in the desert searching for food, we are in danger of being killed, because people there kill strangers with their swords.
Waxaannu kibistayada ku helnaa naftayadoo aan biimayno, Waana seefta cidlada aawadeed.
10 Our skin has become hot like [SIM] an oven, and we have a very high fever because we are extremely hungry.
Haraggayagii wuxuu u madoobaaday sidii foorno oo kale, Waana kulaylkii abaarta daraaddiis.
11 [Our enemies] have raped the women in Jerusalem, [and they have done that to] the young women in [all] the towns of Judea.
Naagihii Siyoon dhexdeedaa lagu kufsaday, Hablihii bikradaha ahaana magaalooyinka dalka Yahuudah waa lagu kufsaday.
12 [Our enemies] have hanged our leaders, and they do not respect our elders.
Amiirradii gacmahoodaa lagu deldelay, Oo odayaashiina lama sharfin.
13 They force our young men to grind [flour] with millstones, and boys stagger while they [are forced to] carry [heavy] loads of firewood.
Barbaarradii dhagaxshiidkay qaadeen, Oo carruurtiina rarkii qoryaha bay la kufeen.
14 [Our] elders no longer sit at the city gates [to make important decisions]; the young men no longer play their musical [instruments].
Odayaashii iridday ka joogsadeen, Oo barbaarradiina muusikadoodii farahay ka qaadeen.
15 We [SYN] are no longer joyful; instead of dancing [joyfully], we now mourn.
Farxaddii qalbigayagay ka dhammaatay, Oo cayaartayadiina baroorashay u rogmatay.
16 The wreaths [of flowers] have fallen off our heads. Terrible things have happened to us because of the sins that we committed.
Taajkii madaxayaguu ka dhacay. Annagaa iska hoognay, waayo, waannu dembaabnay!
17 We [SYN] are tired and discouraged [IDM], and we cannot see well because our eyes are [full of tears].
Taas darteed qalbigayagu wuu itaal darnaaday. Oo waxyaalahaas aawadoodna indhahayagii way arag darnaayeen.
18 Jerusalem is [completely] deserted, and jackals/wolves prowl around it.
Maxaa yeelay, Buur Siyoon waa cidlowday, Oo dawacooyin baa ku dul socda.
19 But Yahweh, you rule forever! You continue to rule [MTY] from one generation to the next generation.
Rabbiyow, weligaaba sida boqor baad u fadhidaa, Oo carshigaaguna ab ka ab buu waaraa.
20 [So] why [RHQ] have you forgotten us? Why [RHQ] have you abandoned us for a very long time?
Haddaba bal maxaad weligaaba noo illowdaa, Oo maxaad wakhti dheer noo dayrisaa?
21 [Please] enable us to return to you, and enable us to prosper [MTY] as we did previously.
Rabbiyow, xaggaaga noo soo celi, oo waannu soo noqon doonnaa. Maalmahayagana sida kuwii hore oo kale nooga dhig.
22 Please do that, because we hope that [RHQ] you have not rejected us forever and that [RHQ] you do not continue to be extremely angry with us!
Laakiinse dhammaantayoba waad na diidday. Oo aad baad noogu cadhootay.
