Abahluleli 17
1 Kwakukhona-ke umuntu wentabeni yakoEfrayimi, obizo lakhe lalinguMika.
Oo waxaa jiray nin degganaa dalka buuraha leh oo reer Efrayim; magiciisana waxaa la odhan jiray Miikaah.
2 Wasesithi kunina: Izinhlamvu zesiliva eziyinkulungwane lekhulu ezathathwa kuwe, owaqalekisa ngazo, njalo wakhuluma endlebeni zami, khangela, leyomali ikimi, mina ngayithatha. Unina wasesithi: Kawubusiswe eNkosini, ndodana yami.
Oo isna wuxuu hooyadiis ku yidhi, Kun iyo boqolkii xabbadood oo lacagta ahaa ee lagaa qaaday, ee aad ku habaartamaysay ee aad igu dhego hadlaysay, lacagtii anigaa haya; oo anaa qaaday. Markaasay hooyadiis tidhi, Wiilkaygiiyow, Rabbigu ha ku barakeeyo.
3 Wathi esezibuyisele kunina izinhlamvu eziyinkulungwane lekhulu zesiliva, unina wathi: Ngasengisehlukanisile lokusehlukanisela iNkosi isiliva sami sivela esandleni sami sibe ngesendodana yami, ukuze ngenze isithombe esibaziweyo lesithombe esibunjwe ngokuncibilikisa. Khathesi-ke ngizasibuyisela kuwe.
Oo kun iyo boqolkii xabbadood oo lacagta ahaa ayuu u soo celiyey hooyadiis, markaasay hooyadiis tidhi, Sida runta ah waxaan lacagta u soocay Rabbiga, oo gacantaydaan ka bixiyey wiilkayga aawadiis in laga sameeyo sanam xardhan iyo sanam la shubay; taas aawadeed adigaan kuu soo celin doonaa.
4 Kodwa wayibuyisela imali kunina. Unina wasethatha izinhlamvu zesiliva ezingamakhulu amabili, wazinika umkhandi, owenza ngazo isithombe esibaziweyo lesithombe esibunjwe ngokuncibilikisa; zasezisiba sendlini kaMika.
Oo markuu lacagtii hooyadiis u soo celiyey ayay hooyadiis qaadatay laba boqol oo xabbadood oo lacag ah, oo waxay u dhiibtay lacagtume, oo isna wuxuu ka sameeyey sanam xardhan iyo sanam la shubay; waxayna yaalleen gurigii Miikaah.
5 Njalo lowomuntu uMika wayelendlu yabonkulunkulu, wenza i-efodi lamatherafi, wehlukanisa omunye wamadodana akhe, ukuze abe ngumpristi wakhe.
Oo ninkii Miikaah ahaana wuxuu lahaa guri ilaahyood, oo wuxuu sameeyey eefod iyo teraafiim, oo wuxuuna quduus ka dhigay wiilashiisii midkood, oo isna wuxuu u noqday wadaadkiisii.
6 Ngalezonsuku kwakungelankosi koIsrayeli; wonke umuntu wayesenza okwakulungile emehlweni akhe.
Waagaasna reer binu Israa'iil boqor ma ay lahayn; oo nin walubana wuxuu samayn jiray wixii isaga la qumman.
7 Njalo kwakukhona ijaha leBhethelehema-Juda, elosendo lukaJuda, elalingumLevi, njalo lahlala njengowezizwe khona.
Oo waxaa jiray nin dhallinyaro ahaa oo ka soo baxay Beytlaxam Yahuudah oo reer Yahuudah ahaa, ee qoladiisu ahayd reer Laawi, oo halkaasuu degganaan jiray.
8 Lowomuntu wasesuka emzini, eBhethelehema-Juda, ukuyahlala njengowezizwe lapho ayengathola khona indawo. Wafika entabeni yakoEfrayimi, endlini kaMika, ehamba ngendlela yakhe.
Markaasuu ninkii ka baxay magaaladii ahayd Beytlaxam Yahuudah, inuu dego meel uu heli karo; oo intuu socday ayuu yimid gurigii Miikaah oo ku yiil dalkii buuraha lahaa oo reer Efrayim.
9 UMika wasesithi kuye: Uvela ngaphi? Wasesithi kuye: NgingumLevi weBhethelehema-Juda, ngiya ukuyahlala njengowezizwe lapho engingathola khona indawo.
Markaasuu Miikaah ku yidhi isagii, Xaggee baad ka timid? Isna wuxuu yidhi, Anigu waxaan ahay reer Laawi, oo Beytlaxam Yahuudah ayaan ka imid, oo waxaan u socdaa inaan dego meel aan heli karo.
10 UMika wasesithi kuye: Hlala lami, ube kimi ngubaba lompristi, mina ngizakunika izinhlamvu zesiliva ezilitshumi ngomnyaka, lezigqoko zokugqoka, lokudla kwakho. UmLevi wasengena.
Markaasuu Miikaah ku yidhi isagii, Aniga ila joog, oo ii noqo aabbe iyo wadaad, anna sannaddiiba waxaan ku siinayaa toban xabbadood oo lacag ah, iyo isku joog dhar ah, iyo cuntadaada. Sidaas daraaddeed kii reer Laawi guduhuu galay.
11 UmLevi wavuma ukuhlala lalowomuntu; njalo ijaha laba kuye njengomunye wamadodana akhe.
Oo kii reer Laawina raalli buu ka ahaa inuu ninkii la joogo; oo ninkii dhallinyarada ahaana wuxuu Miikaah u ahaa sida wiilashiisa midkood oo kale.
12 UMika wamehlukanisa umLevi, ijaha laselisiba ngumpristi wakhe, laba sendlini kaMika.
Markaasuu Miikaah quduus ka dhigay kii reer Laawi, oo ninkii dhallinyarada ahaana wuxuu Miikaah u noqday wadaadkiisii, oo gurigii Miikaah ayuu joogay.
13 UMika wasesithi: Khathesi ngiyazi ukuthi iNkosi izangenzela okuhle, ngoba ngilomLevi ongumpristi.
Markaasuu Miikaah yidhi, Haatan waan ogsoo nahay in Rabbigu wanaag ii samaynayo, maxaa yeelay, waxaa wadaad ii noqday nin reer Laawi ah.
