Jeremiah 29
1 This is the text of the letter that Jeremiah the prophet sent from Jerusalem to the surviving elders among the exiles and to the priests, the prophets, and all the others Nebuchadnezzar had carried into exile from Jerusalem to Babylon.
Haddaba kuwanu waa erayadii warqaddii uu Nebi Yeremyaah Yeruusaalem uga diray kuwii hadhay ee waayeelladii maxaabiisnimadii iyo wadaaddadii, iyo nebiyadii, iyo dadkii uu Nebukadnesar Yeruusaalem maxaabiis ahaanta uga kaxaystay oo uu Baabuloon la tegey oo dhan.
2 (This was after King Jeconiah, the queen mother, the court officials, the officials of Judah and Jerusalem, the craftsmen, and the metalsmiths had been exiled from Jerusalem.)
(Taasu waxay ahayd markii Boqor Yekonyaah, iyo boqoraddii hooyadiis ahayd, iyo bohommadii, iyo amiirradii dadka Yahuudah iyo Yeruusaalem, iyo saanacyadii, iyo birtumayaashiiba ay Yeruusaalem ka tageen dabadeed.)
3 The letter was entrusted to Elasah son of Shaphan and Gemariah son of Hilkiah, whom Zedekiah king of Judah sent to King Nebuchadnezzar in Babylon. It stated:
Oo wuxuu ugu sii dhiibay gacantii Elcaasaah ina Shaafaan, iyo Gemaryaah ina Xilqiyaah (oo uu boqorkii dalka Yahuudah oo Sidqiyaah ahaa uu u diray Baabuloon iyo ilaa Nebukadnesar oo ahaa boqorkii Baabuloon, ) isagoo leh,
4 This is what the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says to all the exiles who were carried away from Jerusalem to Babylon:
Rabbiga ciidammada oo ah Ilaaha reer binu Israa'iil wuxuu leeyahay, kuwii maxaabiis ahaanta loo kaxaystay oo dhan, oo aan ka yeelay in Yeruusaalem laga kaxaysto oo Baabuloon lala tago, waxaan idinku leeyahay,
5 “Build houses and settle down. Plant gardens and eat their produce.
Guryo dhista, oo ku hoyda, oo beero beerta, oo midhahoodana cuna.
6 Take wives and have sons and daughters. Take wives for your sons and give your daughters in marriage, so that they too may have sons and daughters. Multiply there; do not decrease.
Naago guursada, oo wiilal iyo gabdho dhala, oo wiilashiinnana naago u guuriya, oo gabdhihiinnana niman siiya, si ay iyaguna wiilal iyo gabdho u dhalaan, oo halkaasna ku tarma oo ha yaraanina.
7 Seek the prosperity of the city to which I have sent you as exiles. Pray to the LORD on its behalf, for if it prospers, you too will prosper.”
Oo waxaad nabad u doondoontaan magaaladii aan idinka yeelay in laydiin kaxaysto idinkoo maxaabiis ah, oo iyada Rabbiga u barya, waayo, idinku nabaddeeda ayaad nabad ku heli doontaan.
8 For this is what the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: “Do not be deceived by the prophets and diviners among you, and do not listen to the dreams you elicit from them.
Waayo, Rabbiga ciidammada oo ah Ilaaha reer binu Israa'iil wuxuu leeyahay, Nebiyadiinna iyo waxsheegyadiinna idin dhex joogaa yaanay idin khiyaanayn, oo idinku innaba ha dhegaysanina riyooyinkiinna aad ku riyootaan.
9 For they are falsely prophesying to you in My name; I have not sent them, declares the LORD.”
Waayo, magacaygay wax been ah idiinku sii sheegaan, laakiinse Rabbigu wuxuu leeyahay, Anigu iyaga sooma aan dirin.
10 For this is what the LORD says: “When Babylon’s seventy years are complete, I will attend to you and confirm My promise to restore you to this place.
Waayo, Rabbigu wuxuu leeyahay, Markii toddobaatan sannadood Baabuloon loo dhammeeyo dabadeed ayaan idin soo booqon doonaa, oo waxaan idiin oofin doonaa eraygaygii wanaagsanaa, oo halkan dib baan idiinku soo celin doonaa.
11 For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, to give you a future and a hope.
Waayo, Rabbigu wuxuu leeyahay, Anigu waan garanayaa fikirrada aan idiinku fikiro, waana fikirro nabadeed, oo ma aha kuwa masiibeed, si aan ugudambaystiinna rajo idiin siiyo.
12 Then you will call upon Me and come and pray to Me, and I will listen to you.
Oo markaasaad ii yeedhan doontaan, waanad i soo baryi doontaan, oo aniguna waan idin maqli doonaa.
13 You will seek Me and find Me when you search for Me with all your heart.
Oo waad i doondooni doontaan, waanad i heli doontaan markaad qalbigiinna oo dhan igu doondoontaan.
14 I will be found by you, declares the LORD, and I will restore you from captivity and gather you from all the nations and places to which I have banished you, declares the LORD. I will restore you to the place from which I sent you into exile.”
Oo Rabbigu wuxuu leeyahay, Waad i heli doontaan, oo maxaabiisahaantiinnana waan idinka celin doonaa, oo waxaan idinka soo wada ururin doonaa quruumaha oo dhan iyo meelihii aan idin kexeeyey oo dhan ayaa Rabbigu leeyahay, oo waxaan idinku soo celin doonaa meeshii aan ka dhigay in maxaabiis ahaan laydinkaga kaxaysto.
15 Because you may say, “The LORD has raised up for us prophets in Babylon,”
Maxaa yeelay, idinku waxaad tidhaahdeen, Rabbiga ayaa Baabuloon nebiyo nooga dhex kiciyey.
16 this is what the LORD says about the king who sits on David’s throne and all the people who remain in this city, your brothers who did not go with you into exile—
Rabbigu wuxuu ka leeyahay boqorka carshigii Daa'uud ku fadhiya iyo dadka magaaladan deggan oo dhan, Walaalihiinnii aan maxaabiis ahaan laydiinla kaxaysan,
17 this is what the LORD of Hosts says: “I will send against them sword and famine and plague, and I will make them like rotten figs, so bad they cannot be eaten.
Rabbiga ciidammadu wuxuu ka leeyahay, Bal ogaada, waxaan korkooda ku soo dayn doonaa seef, iyo abaar, iyo belaayo, oo waxaan iyaga ka dhigi doonaa sida midho berde oo qudhmay oo xumaantooda aawadeed aan innaba la cuni karin.
18 I will pursue them with sword and famine and plague. I will make them a horror to all the kingdoms of the earth—a curse, a desolation, and an object of scorn and reproach among all the nations to which I banish them.
Oo waxaan iyaga ku eryan doonaa seef iyo abaar iyo belaayo, oo waxaan ka dhigi doonaa inay boqortooyooyinka dunida oo dhan ku dhex rogrogmadaan hor iyo dib, oo ay inkaar iyo wax laga yaabo oo lagu foodhyo, iyo cay ku dhex noqdaan quruumaha aan u kexeeyey oo dhan,
19 I will do this because they have not listened to My words, declares the LORD, which I sent to them again and again through My servants the prophets. And neither have you exiles listened, declares the LORD.”
maxaa yeelay, iyagu ma ay dhegaysan erayadaydii aan iyaga ugu soo dhiibay nebiyadii addoommadayda ahaa, anigoo goor wanaagsan soo diraya, laakiinse waad maqli weydeen, ayaa Rabbigu leeyahay.
20 So hear the word of the LORD, all you exiles I have sent away from Jerusalem to Babylon.
Haddaba maxaabiistii aan Yeruusaalem ka diray oo aan Baabuloon u kexeeyey, bal erayga Rabbiga maqla.
21 This is what the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says about Ahab son of Kolaiah and Zedekiah son of Maaseiah, who are prophesying to you lies in My name: “I will deliver them to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and he will kill them before your very eyes.
Rabbiga ciidammada oo ah Ilaaha reer binu Israa'iil wuxuu leeyahay, Axaab ina Qoolaayaah iyo Sidqiyaah ina Macaseeyaah oo magacayga been idiinku sii sheega, bal ogaada iyaga waxaan gelin doonaa gacanta Nebukadresar oo ah boqorka Baabuloon, oo isna indhihiinna hortooda ayuu iyaga ku dili doonaa.
22 Because of them, all the exiles of Judah who are in Babylon will use this curse: ‘May the LORD make you like Zedekiah and Ahab, whom the king of Babylon roasted in the fire!’
Oo maxaabiista dadka Yahuudah oo Baabuloon joogta oo dhammu way habaartami doonaan iyagoo leh, Rabbigu ha kaa dhigo sidii Sidqiyaah iyo sidii Axaab ee uu boqorka Baabuloon dabka ku dubay oo kale,
23 For they have committed an outrage in Israel by committing adultery with the wives of their neighbors and speaking lies in My name, which I did not command them to do. I am He who knows, and I am a witness, declares the LORD.”
maxaa yeelay, nacasnimo ayay dalka Israa'iil ku dhex sameeyeen, oo weliba naagihii derisyadooda ayay ka sinaysteen, oo erayo been ah oo aanan iyaga ku soo amrin ayay magacayga ku hadleen. Anigu kan og baan ahay, oo markhaati baan ka ahay, ayaa Rabbigu leeyahay.
24 You are to tell Shemaiah the Nehelamite that
Oo weliba Shemacyaah oo ah reer Nexlaamiina waxaad ku tidhaahdaa,
25 this is what the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: “In your own name you have sent out letters to all the people of Jerusalem, to the priest Zephaniah son of Maaseiah, and to all the priests. You said to Zephaniah:
Rabbiga ciidammada oo ah Ilaaha reer binu Israa'iil wuxuu leeyahay, Adigu waxaad warqado magacaaga ugu soo dirtay dadka Yeruusaalem jooga oo dhan, iyo Sefanyaah ina Macaseeyaah oo wadaadka ah, iyo wadaaddada oo dhanba,
26 ‘The LORD has appointed you priest in place of Jehoiada, to be the chief officer in the house of the LORD, responsible for any madman who acts like a prophet—you must put him in stocks and neck irons.
oo waxaad tidhi, Rabbigu wadaad buu kaaga dhigay meeshii wadaadkii Yehooyaadaac inaad saraakiil u noqotaan guriga Rabbiga iyo inaad xabsi ku riddid oo aad silsilado ku xidhid nin kasta oo waalan oo nebi iska dhigaba.
27 So now, why have you not rebuked Jeremiah of Anathoth, who poses as a prophet among you?
Haddaba bal maxaad u canaanan weyday Yeremyaah oo ah reer Canaatood oo nebi isaga kaa dhigaya?
28 For he has sent to us in Babylon, claiming: Since the exile will be lengthy, build houses and settle down; plant gardens and eat their produce.’”
Waayo, isagu cid buu noogu soo diray Baabuloon, oo wuxuu yidhi, Maxaabiisnimadiinnu waa muddo dheer, haddaba guryo dhista, oo ku hoyda, oo beero beerta, oo midhahoodana cuna.
29 (Zephaniah the priest, however, had read this letter to Jeremiah the prophet.)
Oo wadaadkii Sefanyaah ahaa ayaa warqaddaas ku akhriyey Nebi Yeremyaah hortiisa.
30 Then the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah:
Markaasaa eraygii Rabbigu ku soo degay Yeremyaah, isagoo leh,
31 “Send a message telling all the exiles what the LORD says concerning Shemaiah the Nehelamite. Because Shemaiah has prophesied to you—though I did not send him—and has made you trust in a lie,
Kuwa maxaabiista ah oo dhan u cid dir oo waxaad ku tidhaahdaa, Rabbigu wuxuu Shemacyaah oo ah reer Nexlaamii ka leeyahay, Shemacyaah wax buu idiin sii sheegay, aniguse sooma aan dirin, oo wuxuu idinka dhigay inaad been isku hallaysaan,
32 this is what the LORD says: ‘I will surely punish Shemaiah the Nehelamite and his descendants. He will have no one left among this people, nor will he see the good that I will bring to My people, declares the LORD, for he has preached rebellion against the LORD.’”
sidaas daraaddeed Rabbigu wuxuu leeyahay, Bal ogaada, Shemacyaah oo ah reer Nexlaamii iyo farcankiisaba waan ciqaabi doonaa. Isagu ma uu yeelan doono nin qudha oo dadkan dhex deggan, oo wanaagga aan dadkayga u samayn doonona isagu ma uu arki doono, maxaa yeelay, wuxuu ku hadlay caasinimo Rabbiga ka gees ah, ayaa Rabbigu leeyahay.
