Lamentations 5
1 Remember, O Jehovah, what hath befallen us, Look attentively, and see our reproach.
Rabbiyow, bal xusuuso wixii nagu soo degay. Ka fiirso oo bal eeg caydii nalagu caayay.
2 Our inheritance hath been turned to strangers, Our houses to foreigners.
Dhaxalkayagii waxaa helay shisheeyayaal. Guryahayagiina waxaa iska qaatay ajnabiyo.
3 Orphans we have been — without a father, our mothers [are] as widows.
Waxaannu nahay agoommo, aabbayaal ma lihin, Oo hooyooyinkayana carmallay noqdeen
4 Our water for money we have drunk, Our wood for a price doth come.
Biyahayagii lacag baannu ku cabnay, Oo qoryahayagiina waa nalaga iibiyey.
5 For our neck we have been pursued, We have laboured — there hath been no rest for us.
Kuwii na eryanayayna way na gaadheen, Waannu daalan nahay oo nasasho ma lihin.
6 [To] Egypt we have given a hand, [To] Asshur, to be satisfied with bread.
Waxaannu gacanta u dhiibannay Masriyiinta Iyo reer Ashuur si aannu kibis uga dheregno.
7 Our fathers have sinned — they are not, We their iniquities have borne.
Aabbayaashayo waa dembaabeen, mana joogaan, Oo annagaa xumaatooyinkoodii xambaarannay.
8 Servants have ruled over us, A deliverer there is none from their hand.
Addoommaa noo taliya, Oo mid gacantooda naga samatabbixiyaana ma jiro,
9 With our lives we bring in our bread, Because of the sword of the wilderness.
Waxaannu kibistayada ku helnaa naftayadoo aan biimayno, Waana seefta cidlada aawadeed.
10 Our skin as an oven hath been burning, Because of the raging of the famine.
Haraggayagii wuxuu u madoobaaday sidii foorno oo kale, Waana kulaylkii abaarta daraaddiis.
11 Wives in Zion they have humbled, Virgins — in cities of Judah.
Naagihii Siyoon dhexdeedaa lagu kufsaday, Hablihii bikradaha ahaana magaalooyinka dalka Yahuudah waa lagu kufsaday.
12 Princes by their hand have been hanged, The faces of elders have not been honoured.
Amiirradii gacmahoodaa lagu deldelay, Oo odayaashiina lama sharfin.
13 Young men to grind they have taken, And youths with wood have stumbled.
Barbaarradii dhagaxshiidkay qaadeen, Oo carruurtiina rarkii qoryaha bay la kufeen.
14 The aged from the gate have ceased, Young men from their song.
Odayaashii iridday ka joogsadeen, Oo barbaarradiina muusikadoodii farahay ka qaadeen.
15 Ceased hath the joy of our heart, Turned to mourning hath been our dancing.
Farxaddii qalbigayagay ka dhammaatay, Oo cayaartayadiina baroorashay u rogmatay.
16 Fallen hath the crown [from] our head, Woe [is] now to us, for we have sinned.
Taajkii madaxayaguu ka dhacay. Annagaa iska hoognay, waayo, waannu dembaabnay!
17 For this hath our heart been sick, For these have our eyes been dim.
Taas darteed qalbigayagu wuu itaal darnaaday. Oo waxyaalahaas aawadoodna indhahayagii way arag darnaayeen.
18 For the mount of Zion — that is desolate, Foxes have gone up on it.
Maxaa yeelay, Buur Siyoon waa cidlowday, Oo dawacooyin baa ku dul socda.
19 Thou, O Jehovah, to the age remainest, Thy throne to generation and generation.
Rabbiyow, weligaaba sida boqor baad u fadhidaa, Oo carshigaaguna ab ka ab buu waaraa.
20 Why for ever dost Thou forget us? Thou forsakest us for length of days!
Haddaba bal maxaad weligaaba noo illowdaa, Oo maxaad wakhti dheer noo dayrisaa?
21 Turn us back, O Jehovah, unto Thee, And we turn back, renew our days as of old.
Rabbiyow, xaggaaga noo soo celi, oo waannu soo noqon doonnaa. Maalmahayagana sida kuwii hore oo kale nooga dhig.
22 For hast Thou utterly rejected us? Thou hast been wroth against us — exceedingly?
Laakiinse dhammaantayoba waad na diidday. Oo aad baad noogu cadhootay.
