< Zephaniah 2 >
1 Collect your thoughts, aye collect them, —O nation, depressed!
Isa soo urursada, quruuntan aan xishoodka lahaynay, isa soo urursada,
2 Ere yet the decree, have given birth, like chaff, the day, have vanished, —ere yet shall come upon you, the glow of the anger of Yahweh, ere yet shall come upon you, the day of the anger of Yahweh.
intaan amarku soo bixin, oo aan maalintu u dhaafin sida xaab oo kale, intaan Rabbiga xanaaqiisa kululu idinku soo degin, intaan maalinta cadhada Rabbigu idinku soo degin.
3 Seek Yahweh—all ye lowly of the land, who have wrought, what he appointed, —seek righteousness, seek humility, peradventure, ye shall be concealed, in the day of the anger of Yahweh?
Rabbiga doondoona, dhammaantiin kuwiinna camalka qabow ee dhulkow, oo xukunkiisa yeelayow, xaqnimo doondoona, oo qabownaan doondoona. Waxaa laga yaabaa inaad maalinta cadhada Rabbiga qarsoonaan doontaan.
4 For, Gaza, forsaken, shall be, and, Ashkelon, a desolation, —Ashdod! at high noon, shall they drive her forth, and, Ekron, be uprooted:
Waayo, Gaasa waa la dayrin doonaa, oo Ashqeloonna waxay noqon doontaa meel cidla ah, oo dadka Ashdoodna waxaa la eryi doonaa hadh cad, Ceqroonna waa la rujin doonaa.
5 Alas! for the inhabitants of the line of the sea, the nation of Kerethim, —The word of Yahweh, is against you, O Canaan of the land of the Philistines, therefore will I destroy thee, to the last inhabitant.
Waxaa iska hoogay dadka deggan badda xeebteeda, waana quruunta reer Kereetiim! Kancaan oo ah dalka reer Falastiinow, Rabbiga eraygiisu waa kaa gees. Waan ku baabbi'in doonaa si aan qof keliyuhuna kuu sii degganaan.
6 So shall the line of the sea become a meadow, the wells of shepherds, and the folds of flocks;
Badda xeebteedu waxay noqon doontaa berrimmo daaqsiin ah, oo leh rug adhijirro iyo xeryo adhi.
7 And the line shall belong to the remnant of the house of Judah, Thereon, shall they feed their flocks, —In the houses of Ashkelon, shall they, at eventide, lie down, for Yahweh their God will visit them, and bring their captives back.
Oo xeebta waxaa yeelan doona kuwa dadka Yahuudah ka hadhay. Iyana adhyahooda ayay halkaas daaqsan doonaan, oo fiidkiina waxay jiifsan doonaan guryihii reer Ashqeloon, waayo, Ilaaha Rabbigooda ah ayaa iyaga soo booqan doona, oo maxaabiistoodiina wuu soo celin doonaa.
8 I have heard the reproach of Moab, and the revilings of the sons of Ammon, —who have reproached my people, and have magnified themselves up to their bounds.
Anigu waan maqlay caydii reer Moo'aab iyo canaantii reer Cammoon oo ay dadkayga ku caayeen, iyo inay iska sii weyneeyeen soohdintooda.
9 Wherefore, as I live, declareth Yahweh of hosts, God of Israel, Surely, Moab, like Sodom, shall become, and, the sons of Ammon, like Gomorrah, a possession for the thorn, and a pit of salt, Yea a desolation, unto times age-abiding: The remnant of my people, shall make of them a prey, and, the residue of my nation, shall inherit them.
Sidaas daraaddeed Rabbiga ciidammada oo ah Ilaaha reer binu Israa'iil wuxuu leeyahay, Noloshaydaan ku dhaartay oo sida xaqiiqada ah Moo'aab waxay noqon doontaa sida Sodom oo kale, oo reer Cammoonna waxay noqon doonaan sida Gomora oo kale, oo waxay ahaan doonaan meel maraboob ka baxo, iyo godad cusbo, iyo meel had iyo goor cidla ah. Kuwa dadkayga ka hadhay ayaa dhici doona oo inta quruuntayda ka hadhay ayaa dhaxli doonta.
10 This, shall they have, instead of their pride, —because they reproached and magnified themselves against the people of Yahweh of hosts.
Kibirkoodii aawadiis ayay waxan u heli doonaan, maxaa yeelay, waxay caayeen oo iska weynaysiiyeen dadkii Rabbiga ciidammada.
11 Terrible will Yahweh be against them, for he hath caused to waste away all the gods of the earth, that men may bow down to him, every one from his place, all the coastlands of the nations:
Rabbigu wuxuu iyaga u noqon doonaa mid aad looga cabsado, waayo, wuu wada macaluulin doonaa ilaahyada dhulka oo dhan, kolkaasay dadku isaga caabudi doonaan, oo mid kastaaba wuxuu isaga ka caabudi doonaa meeshiisa, oo xataa quruumaha gasiiraduhu way wada caabudi doonaan isaga.
12 Even ye Ethiopians, the slain of my sword were they!
Oo weliba reer Itoobiyow, idinkana waxaa laydinku layn doonaa seeftayda.
13 And may he stretch out his hand against the North, and destroy Assyria, —and may he make of Nineveh a desolation, dry as the desert!
Oo isagu gacantiisuu u fidin doonaa xagga woqooyi, oo dalka Ashuur wuu wada baabbi'in doonaa, oo Ninewehna cidla buu ka dhigi doonaa iyo lamadegaan engegan.
14 So shall lie down in her midst—flocks, each living thing of a nation, both pelican and bittern, in her capitals, shall roost, —a voice, shall resound in the window, the bustard, on the sill, for he hath destroyed, hath laid bare.
Oo waxaa dhexdeeda jiifsan doona xoolo iyo xayawaanka quruumaha oo dhan, oo cantalyaaga iyo caanaqubtuba waxay ku dhex hoyan doonaan tiirarkeeda. Cod baa ka gabyi doona daaqadaheeda, oo waxaa marinnada joogi doona abaar, waayo, isagu wuu soo bandhigay shuqulkii qoriga kedarka ah laga qabtay.
15 This, is the city exultant, that sat secure, that said in her heart, I, [am]! and no one besides! How hath she become a desolation! a lair of beasts, every one passing, by her doth hiss, shaketh his hand.
Tanu waa magaaladii faraxa badnayd oo feyigla'aanta ku degganayd, oo qalbiga iska tidhi, Anigaa ah, oo aniga mooyaane mid kale ma jirto. Waxay noqotay cidla iyo meel dugaag ku hoydo! Mid kasta oo agteeda soo maraaba wuu ku foodhyi doonaa oo gacanta quudhsasho la ruxi doonaa.
