Who can translate this into Somali??

[Cumar-Labasuul]

Whoever this translator is he did a bad job i.e. bismillahi = magaca eebbe yaan ku bilaabaynaa; that would be "we start in the name of god", when it should be "in the name of Allaah" - another thing why is he using 'eebe' in this case when Allaah's name is clearly present. Btw, I really don't like the use of that word 'eebe' we should stick to ilaahay ama Allaah



can you guys translate this, let me try:


Magaca Alle, kii naxariista badnaa, kii naxariista guud lahaa

Mahad Allaa iska leh, ee rabbigii caalamka ah

Kii naxariista badnaa, kii naxariista guud lahaa

Ee boqorka guud maalinta qiyaamaha ah

Adigun baan ku caabudnaa iyo adigun baan caawis kaa waydiisanaa

Ee jidka saxda ah inagu toosi

Waa jidka aad u balan qaaday kuwaad jeceshahay, maaha kuwaad ka cadhootay ama kuwaad jidka ka leexisay. Amiin

anybody?

[BlackVelvet]

There are people on here that speak good Somali and then there are people who speak good Arabic but people who speak good Arabic and good Somali?...

Maybe Gurey, wait for him to log on next week

[Cumar-Labasuul]

BV, I don't arabic myself and my somali is limited but I still tried how about you, can you give it a try?

[BlackVelvet]

I get stuck on the first part. In the Name of Allah, Magaca Alle/Ilaahey translates as The Name of God not in The Name of God. Anything I say will probably be blasphemous so no need in aan extra dambi is galiyo maanta.

[Cumar-Labasuul]

ok

[abgaalKING]

The Term "eebe" is a pre-islamic word which reflects ancient somalis who practiced christianity.eebe=heavenly father.

[Cumar-Labasuul]

^
which is why I don't like to use it because it's 'pre-islamic' we already use 'ilaahay' and 'Allaah' so we don't need to use 'eebe'

[Enlightened~Sista]

Abgaal you're wrong, Somalis were animists prior to conversion to Islam.
Allah & ilaah also predate Islam, as English speakers we also say 'God', Pakistani and Persian Muslims say Khuda, Malays and Indonesian say Tuhaan, so why this sudden distaste for the Somali word for God?

How dare you. Your ancestors may have worshipped trees and stones but mine were always monotheistic.

[Cumar-Labasuul]

of course Allah and Ilaah predate Islam, Islam is only 1400 years old. Furthermore I said I don't like the word eebe and prefer to use Allah I also don't use god much.

[bareento]

He should have used the word Waaq!
Allah Akbar = Waaq ba weeyn

Mujaahid Bareento

[Cumar-Labasuul]

neither waaq nor eebe are the name(s) of Allah -> bismillahi = in the name of Allaah

[Enlightened~Sista]

Abdi our ancestors worshipped cows, much like the Hindus.

Cumar a personal preference you say? I doubt it...never mind, I guess it comes with the territory, hating everything Somali.

[bareento]

Allah is the name Arabs gave to God, Waaq is the name ancient Oromos and somalis gave them!
U are not going to tell me that the subxaana wa tacaalaa prefers the name Arabs gave him and wants to be called only by his arab name
