< Hoosheeca 4 >

1 Dadka Israa'iilow, Rabbiga eraygiisa maqla, waayo, Rabbigu dacwad buu la leeyahay dadka dalka deggan, maxaa yeelay, dalka dhexdiisa laguma arko run, ama naxariis, ama aqoonta Ilaah toona.
Hear the word of the Lord, ye children of Israel: for the Lord [has] a controversy with the inhabitants of the land, because there is no truth, nor mercy, nor knowledge of God in the land.
2 Innaba wax kale laguma arko dhaarasho been ah, iyo axdijebin, iyo dilid, iyo xadid, iyo sino mooyaane. Way soo fara baxsadaan, oo dhiiggelid baa dhiiggelid ku xigsata.
Cursing, and lying, and murder, and theft, and adultery abound in the land, and they mingle blood with blood.
3 Oo sidaas daraaddeed ayaa dalku u barooran doonaa, oo mid kastoo dhexdiisa degganuba waa macaluuli doonaa, oo xayawaanka duurka iyo haadda samada, iyo xataa kalluunka badduna way wada baabbi'i doonaan.
Therefore shall the land mourn, and shall be diminished with all that dwell in it, with the wild beasts of the field, and the reptiles of the earth, and with the birds of the sky, and the fish of the sea shall fail:
4 Laakiinse ninna yuusan murmin, oo ninna yuusan mid kale canaanan, waayo, dadkaagu waa sida kuwa wadaadka la murma.
that neither any one may plead, nor any one reprove [another]; but my people are as a priest spoken against.
5 Oo adna maalinnimo waad turunturoon doontaa, oo habeennimona nebigu waa kula turunturoon doonaa, oo anna hooyadaa waan baabbi'in doonaa.
Therefore they shall fall by day, and the prophet with thee shall fall: I have compared thy mother unto night.
6 Dadkaygu waxay u baabba'aan aqoondarro daraaddeed. Aqoonta aad diidday aawadeed ayaan adiga kuu diidi doonaa, oo innaba wadaad ii ahaan maysid, maxaa yeelay, waxaad illowday sharcigii Ilaahaaga, oo aniguna waxaan illoobi doonaa carruurtaada.
My people are like as if they had no knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt not minister as priest to me: and [as] thou has forgotten the law of thy God, I also will forget thy children.
7 Sidii ay u tarmeen si le'eg ayay igu dembaabeen, haddaba sharaftoodii ayaan ceeb u beddeli doonaa.
According to their multitude, so they sinned against me: I will turn their glory into shame.
8 Iyagu waxay quutaan dembigii dadkayga, wayna jeclaystaan xumaantoodii.
They will devour the sins of my people, and will set their hearts on their iniquities.
9 Oo waxay ahaan doontaa in wadaadku noqdo sida dadka oo kale, oo jidadkooda waan ciqaabi doonaa, oo falimahoodana waan ka abaalmarin doonaa.
And the priest shall be as the people: and I will avenge on them their ways, and I will recompense to them their counsels.
10 Wax bay cuni doonaan, kamana dhergi doonaan, way sinaysan doonaan, mana tarmi doonaan, maxaa yeelay, waxay ka tageen inay Rabbiga dhegaystaan.
And they shall eat, and shall not be satisfied: they have gone a-whoring, and shall by no means prosper: because they have left off to take heed to the Lord.
11 Sinada iyo khamriga iyo khamriga cusububa qalbigay la tagaan.
The heart of my people has gladly engaged in fornication and wine and strong drink.
12 Dadkaygu waxay talo weyddiistaan waxooda qoriga ah, oo ushooduna wax bay u sheegtaa, waayo, damaca sinada ayaa iyaga qalday, oo Ilaahoodii way ka tageen sida naag ninkeeda ka dhillowda.
They asked counsel by [means of] signs, and they reported answer to them by their staves: they have gone astray in a spirit of whoredom, and gone grievously a-whoring from their God.
13 Waxay allabari ku bixiyaan buuraha dhaladooda, oo foox bay ku shidaan kuraha korkooda iyo geedaha alloon iyo libneh iyo eelaah la yidhaahdo hoostooda, maxaa yeelay, waxay leeyihiin hoos wanaagsan, haddaba gabdhihiinnu way dhilloobaan oo aroosadihiinnuna way sinaystaan.
They have sacrificed on the tops of the mountains, and on the hills they have sacrificed under the oak and poplar, and under the shady tree, because the shade was good: therefore your daughters shall go a-whoring, and your daughters-in-law shall commit adultery.
14 Anigu ma aan ciqaabi doono gabdhihiinna markay dhilloobaan amase aroosadihiinna markay sinaystaan, waayo, ragga qudhooduba waxay raacaan dhillooyin, oo waxay allabari la bixiyaan sharmuutooyin, oo dadkii aan wax garanaynna waa la wada afgembiyi doonaa.
And I will not visit upon your daughters when they shall commit fornication, nor your daughters-in-law when they shall commit adultery: for they themselves mingled themselves with harlots, and sacrificed with polluted ones, and the people that understood not entangled itself with a harlot.
15 Dadka Israa'iilow, in kastoo aad dhillowdaan, yaan dadka Yahuudah isla dembigaas ku eedaysnaan, oo Gilgaal ha imanina, oo Beytaawen ha tegin, hana ku dhaaranina Rabbiga noloshiisa.
But thou, O Israel, be not ignorant, and go ye not, [men of] Juda, to Galgala; and go not up to the house of On, and swear not by the living Lord.
16 Dadka Israa'iil waxay u madax adkaadeen sidii qaalin lo'aad oo madax adag. Haddaba Rabbigu miyuu iyaga u daajinayaa sidii neef baraar ah oo berrin bannaan jooga?
For Israel was maddened like a mad heifer: now the Lord will feed them as a lamb in a wide place.
17 Reer Efrayim wuxuu raacay sanamyo, haddaba iska daa.
Ephraim, joined with idols, has laid stumbling-blocks in his own way.
18 Cabniinkoodii waa dhanaanaaday. Had iyo goorba way sinaystaan. Taliyayaashooduna aad bay ceebta u jecel, yihiin.
He has chosen the Chananites: they have grievously gone a-whoring: they have loved dishonour through her insolence.
19 Dabayshu waxay iyaga ku soo duudduubtay baallaheedii, oo iyana allabaryadooda ayay u ceeboobi doonaan.
Thou art a blast of wind in her wings, and they shall be ashamed because of their altars.
