Boqorradii Labaad 17
1 Aaxaas oo ahaa boqorkii dalka Yahuudah sannaddiisii laba iyo tobnaad ayaa Hoosheeca ina Eelaah dalka Israa'iil Samaariya boqor ugu noqday, oo wuxuu boqor ahaa sagaal sannadood.
Elah’s son Hoshea began to rule Israel after King Ahaz had ruled Judah for twelve years. Hoshea ruled in Samaria for nine years.
2 Oo wuxuu sameeyey wax shar ku ah Rabbiga hortiisa, laakiinse uma uu samayn sidii boqorradii dalka Israa'iil oo isaga ka horreeyey.
He did many things that Yahweh considered to be evil, but he did not do as many evil things as the previous kings of Israel had done.
3 Oo waxaa isagii ku kacay Shalmaneser oo ahaa boqorkii Ashuur; oo Hoosheeca addoon buu u noqday isagii, oo wuxuu u keenay gabbaro.
[The army of] King Shalmaneser of Assyria attacked and defeated [the army of] King Hoshea. As a result, the Israelis were forced to pay a lot of tribute/taxes to Assyria each year.
4 Markaasaa boqorkii Ashuur wuxuu Hoosheeca ka gartay shirqool, waayo, wuxuu wargeeyayaal u dirtay Soowa oo boqorkii Masar ahaa, oo boqorkii Ashuurna gabbaro ma uu siin siduu sannad kasta yeeli jiray; sidaas daraaddeed boqorkii Ashuur wuu xidhay oo xabsi ku riday.
But several years later, Hoshea secretly planned to rebel against the rulers of Assyria. He sent messengers to So/Osorkon, the king of Egypt, [asking if his army could help the Israelis fight against the army of Assyria]. Hoshea also stopped paying the tribute/taxes that he had been paying to Assyria every year. But the king of Assyria found out about those things, so he told his officers to put Hoshea in prison.
5 Markaasaa boqorkii Ashuur dalkii oo dhan dhex maray, oo wuxuu yimid Samaariya, oo intii saddex sannadood ah ayuu hareereeyey.
Then he [brought the army of] Assyria to Israel, and they attacked everywhere in that land. His army surrounded Samaria [city] for three years.
6 Oo Hoosheeca sannaddiisii sagaalaad ayaa boqorkii Ashuur qabsaday Samaariya, oo dadkii Israa'iilna wuxuu u kaxaystay Ashuur, oo wuxuu dejiyey Xalax, iyo Xaaboor oo webigii Goosaan ag ahaa, iyo magaalooyinkii reer Maaday.
Finally, after King Hoshea had been ruling Israel for nine years, the army of Assyria [MTY] [forcefully entered] the city [and] captured [the people]. They took the Israeli people to Assyria and forced some of them to live in Halah [town]. They forced others to live near the Habor River in Gozan district. They forced others to live in the towns where the Mede people-group lived.
7 Oo taasu way dhacday, maxaa yeelay, dadkii Israa'iil waxay ku dembaabi jireen Rabbiga Ilaahooda ah oo iyaga ka soo bixiyey dalkii Masar oo ka soo hoos bixiyey gacantii Fircoon oo ahaa boqorkii Masar, oo waxay ka cabsan jireen ilaahyo kale,
Those things happened because the Israeli people had sinned against Yahweh their God. He had rescued their [ancestors] from the power [MTY] of the king of Egypt and brought them [safely] out of Egypt, but later they began to worship other gods.
8 wayna ku socon jireen qaynuunnadii quruumaha kale, kuwaasoo Rabbigu ka eryay dadka Israa'iil hortooda, iyo kuwii ay boqorradii dadkii Israa'iil samaysteenba.
They imitated the things that the heathen/pagan people-groups did. Those were the groups that Yahweh had expelled as the Israelis occupied their land. The Israeli people also did the evil things that the kings of Israel (introduced/showed to them).
9 Oo dadkii Israa'iil waxay Rabbiga Ilaahooda ah si qarsoon ugu samayn jireen waxyaalo aan qummanayn, oo magaalooyinkooda oo dhan waxay ka dhisan jireen meelo sarsare tan iyo munaaraddii waardiyayaasha iyo ilaa magaaladii deyrka lahayd.
The Israeli people also secretly did many things that were not pleasing to Yahweh their God. They built shrines [to worship idols] in all their cities, including small towns and big cities with walls around them.
10 Oo buur kasta oo dheer korkeeda iyo geed kastoo dheer oo doog ah hoostiisaba waxay qotonsan jireen tiirar iyo geedihii Asheeraah.
They set up stone pillars [to honor gods], and poles [to worship the goddess] Asherah at the top of every high hill and under every [big] tree.
11 Oo meelihii sarsare oo dhan waxay ku shidi jireen foox sidii ay yeeli jireen quruumihii kale oo Rabbigu uu hortooda ka eryay; oo waxay samayn jireen waxyaalo shar ah oo ay Rabbiga kaga xanaajiyeen.
The Israelis burned incense in every place where they worshiped those gods, just like the people-groups who lived there previously had done—the groups that Yahweh had expelled from the land. The Israelis did many wicked things that caused Yahweh to become angry.
12 Oo waxay u adeegi jireen sanamyadii uu Rabbigu ku yidhi, Idinku waxan ha samaynina.
Yahweh warned them many times that they should not worship idols, but they did it anyway.
13 Oo weliba Rabbigu dadkii Israa'iil iyo dadkii Yahuudahba wuxuu ugu digi jiray nebiyadii oo dhan iyo kuwii wax arki jiray oo dhan, isagoo leh, War jidadkiinna sharka ah ka soo noqda, oo amarradayda iyo qaynuunnadayda u dhawra siduu ahaa sharcigii aan awowayaashiin ku amray oo dhan oo aan idinkugu soo dhiibay addoommadaydii nebiyada ahaa.
Yahweh frequently sent his prophets and (seers/those who saw visions from Yahweh) to warn the people of Israel and the people of Judah. The message that Yahweh gave them was, “Turn away from all your evil behavior. Obey my commands and my laws, the laws that I told your ancestors [to obey] and which I told the prophets who served me to tell to you [again].”
14 Habase yeeshee iyagu way diidi jireen inay taas maqlaan, laakiinse waxay u madax adkaan jireen sidii awowayaashood oo kale, kuwaasoo aan rumaysan Rabbiga Ilaahooda ah.
But the Israeli people would not pay attention. They were stubborn [IDM] just like their ancestors were. Just like their ancestors did, they refused to believe in Yahweh their God.
15 Oo iyagu way diidi jireen qaynuunnadiisii iyo axdigiisii uu awowayaashood la dhigtay, iyo markhaatifurkiisii uu iyaga ugu marag furay, oo intay waxtarla'aan raaceen ayay wax aan waxba tarin noqdeen, oo waxay ku dayan jireen quruumihii hareerahooda ku wareegsanaa oo Rabbigu ku amray inayan sidooda oo kale yeelin.
They rejected Yahweh’s laws and the agreement that he had made with their ancestors. They ignored Yahweh’s warnings. They worshiped worthless idols and as a result they themselves became worthless. Although Yahweh had commanded them not to imitate the evil behavior of the people-groups that lived near them, they disobeyed that command.
16 Oo iyagu way ka tegi jireen amarradii Rabbiga Ilaahooda ah oo dhan, oo waxay samaysteen sanamyo la shubay, kuwaasoo ahaa laba weylood, oo waxay kaloo samaysteen geedihii Asheeraah, oo waxay caabudi jireen ciidanka samada oo dhan, Bacalna way u adeegi jireen.
The Israeli people disobeyed all of Yahweh’s commands. They made two metal calves [to worship]. They set up two poles [to worship the goddess] Asherah, and they worshiped [the god] Baal, and the sun, the moon, and the stars.
17 Oo wiilashoodii iyo gabdhahoodii ayay dab dhex marin jireen, oo waxay u tegi jireen waxsheegyo iyo falanfallowyo, oo waxay nafsaddoodii u iibin jireen inay sameeyaan wax shar ku ah Rabbiga hortiisa, oo ay kaga xanaajiyeen.
They also burned their own sons and daughters to be sacrifices [to those gods]. They went to fortune-tellers and they practiced sorcery. They continually chose [MET] to do [all kinds of] evil things that caused Yahweh to become angry.
18 Sidaas daraaddeed Rabbigu aad buu ugu cadhooday reer binu Israa'iil, markaasuu hortiisa ka fogeeyey; oo iyagii waxba kama hadhin qabiilkii Yahuudah oo keliya mooyaane.
So, because Yahweh was very angry with the Israeli people, he allowed [their enemies] to take them away [from their country]. Only the people of the tribe of Judah were left [in the land].
19 Oo xataa reer Yahuudahna ma ayan dhawrin amarradii Rabbiga Ilaahooda ah, laakiinse waxay ku socdeen qaynuunnadii ay dadkii Israa'iil sameeyeen.
But even the people of Judah did not obey the commands of Yahweh their God. They imitated the evil customs that the Israelis had introduced.
20 Oo Rabbigu wuxuu nacay farcankii reer binu Israa'iil oo dhan, oo intuu dhibay ayuu gacanta u geliyey kuwii dhacay ilaa uu hortiisa ka tuuray.
So Yahweh rejected all the people of Israel and of Judah. He punished them by allowing the armies of other nations to defeat them [and take them away]. He got rid of all of them.
21 Waayo, isagu reer binu Israa'iil wuu ka soocay Daa'uud reerkiisii, oo waxay boqor ka dhigteen Yaaraabcaam ina Nebaad, oo Yaaraabcaamna dadkii Israa'iil wuu ka kaxeeyey Rabbiga lasocodkiisii, oo wuxuu iyagii dembaajiyey dembi weyn.
Earlier, when Yahweh allowed the people of Israel to separate/break away from the area [MTY] that King David [had estabished], they chose Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, to be their king. Then Jeroboam enticed the people of Israel to stop worshiping Yahweh [and to worship idols instead]. He led them to commit great sins.
22 Oo dadkii Israa'iil waxay ku socdeen kulli dembiyadii Yaaraabcaam sameeyey oo dhan, oo kuwaasna kama ay tegin
And the Israeli people continued to do the evil things that Jeroboam introduced. They did not turn away from those sins,
23 ilaa uu Rabbigu dadkii Israa'iil hortiisa ka fogeeyey, siduu kaga hadli jiray addoommadiisii nebiyada ahaa oo dhan. Oo sidaas daraaddeed dadkii Israa'iil waa laga kaxaystay dalkoodii, oo waxaa lala tegey dalka Ashuur, halkaasoo ay ilaa maantadan joogaan.
until finally Yahweh got rid of them. That was just what his prophets had warned would happen. The Israeli people were taken away to the land of Assyria, and they still remain there.
24 Markaasaa boqorkii Ashuur dad ka keenay xagga Baabuloon, iyo Kuutaah, iyo Cawaa, iyo Xamaad, iyo Sefarwayiim, oo wuxuu dejiyey magaalooyinkii Samaariya, meeshay dadkii Israa'iil ka degganaan jireen, oo waxay hantiyeen Samaariya, magaalooyinkeediina way degeen.
The king of Assyria [ordered his soldiers to] take [groups of] people from Babylon, Cuthah, Avva, Hamath, and Sepharvaim [cities] to [the] Samaria [region], and to resettle them in the towns there, to take the place of the Israelis [who lived there previously]. Those people took control over [the whole] Samaria [region] and lived in the towns there.
25 Oo markay bilaabeen inay meeshaas degaan Rabbiga kama ay cabsan jirin, oo sidaas daraaddeed Rabbigu wuxuu dhexdooda u soo diray libaaxyo, kuwaasoo iyagii qaar ka laayay.
But those people [who came from other countries] did not worship Yahweh when they first arrived in Samaria. So Yahweh sent lions to kill some of them.
26 Sidaas daraaddeed boqorkii Ashuur ayaa lala hadlay oo lagu yidhi, War quruumihii aad kaxaysay oo aad magaalooyinka Samaariya dejisay ma ay yaqaaniin camalka Ilaaha dalkaas, oo sidaas daraaddeed wuxuu dhexdooda u soo diray libaaxyo, oo bal eeg, libaaxyadu way laayaan, maxaa yeelay, iyagu ma ay yaqaaniin camalka Ilaaha dalkaas.
Then those people sent a message to the king of Assyria. They wrote, “We people who have resettled in the towns in Samaria do not know how to worship the God [that the Israelis worshiped] in this land. So he has sent lions among us to kill us, because we have not worshiped him correctly.”
27 Markaasaa boqorkii Ashuur wuxuu bixiyey amar, oo yidhi, Wadaaddadii aad ka soo kaxayseen midkood halkaas ku celiya, oo halkaas ha tago oo ha dego, dadkana ha baro camalka Ilaaha dalkaas.
[When] the king of Assyria [read this letter, he] commanded [his officers], “You brought many priests here from Samaria. Send one of them back there. Tell him to teach the people who are now living there how to worship correctly the God whom the Israelis worshiped in that land.”
28 Haddaba wadaaddadii ay Samaariya ka soo kaxeeyeen midkood ayaa yimid, oo wuxuu degay Beytel, oo wuxuu dadkii baray siday Rabbiga uga cabsan lahaayeen.
So [the officers did that]. They sent one of the Israeli priests back to Samaria. That priest went to live in Bethel [city], and he taught the people there how to worship Yahweh.
29 Habase yeeshee quruun waluba waxay samaysatay ilaahyo ay iyagu leeyihiin, oo waxay dhex dhigteen guryihii meelaha sarsare oo ay reer Samaariya samaysteen, oo quruun waluba waxay dhex dhigteen magaalooyinkii ay iyagu degganaayeen.
But the people [who returned from Babylon and started to live in Samaria and] continued to make their own idols. They placed them in the shrines that the Israelis had built there. The people of each people-group made idols in the cities in which they were living.
30 Oo dadkii reer Baabuloon waxay samaysteen Sukood Benood, dadkii reer Kuudna waxay samaysteen Neergal, dadkii reer Xamaadna waxay samaysteen Ashiimaa,
The people from Babylon made idols to represent their god Succoth-Benoth. The people from Cuthah made idols to represent their god Nergal. The people from Hamath made idols to represent their god Ashima.
31 oo reer Cawaana waxay samaysteen Nibxas iyo Tartaq, oo reer Sefarwayiimna waxay carruurtoodii dab ugu gubeen Adrammeleg iyo Canammeleg oo ahaa ilaahyadii reer Sefarwayiim.
The people of Avva made idols to represent their gods Nibhaz and Tartak. The people from Sepharvaim sacrificed their own children. They completely burned them [in pits where hot fires were kept burning, ] as offerings to their gods Adrammelech and Anammelech.
32 Rabbiga way ka cabsan jireen oo waxay dadkooda ka dooran jireen wadaaddadii meelaha sarsare, kuwaasoo ugu allabaryi jiray guryihii meelaha sarsare.
But those people also worshiped Yahweh, and they appointed from among their own groups many people to be priests at the shrines on the tops of the hills, in order that those priests could offer sacrifices for them there.
33 Rabbiga way ka cabsan jireen, isla markaasna waxay u adeegi jireen ilaahyadoodii sidii quruumihii iyaga laga soo dhex kaxeeyey ay yeeli jireen.
So they revered Yahweh, but they also worshiped their own gods, just as the people living in the countries from which they had been taken to Samaria did.
34 Oo ilaa maantadan waxay sameeyaan sidii caadooyinkoodii hore ay ahaayeen, oo Rabbiga kama cabsadaan, mana ay sameeyaan qaynuunnadoodii, iyo xukummadoodii, iyo sharcigii iyo amarkii uu Rabbigu amray reer Yacquub, kii uu Israa'iil u bixiyey,
They still keep their old customs. They really do not worship Yahweh, and they do not obey all the laws and commands that Yahweh gave to the descendants of Jacob, to whom he gave the new name Israel.
35 kuwaasoo uu Rabbigu axdi la dhigtay, oo uu ku amray, isagoo leh, Idinku ilaahyo kale ha ka cabsanina, hana u sujuudina, hana u adeegina, allabarina ha u bixinina;
Yahweh had previously made an agreement with their ancestors, commanding them not to worship other gods or bow down to honor them or do other things to please them or offer sacrifices to them.
36 laakiinse waxaad ka cabsataan Rabbigii dalkii Masar idinkaga soo bixiyey xoogga weyn iyo cudud fidsan, isagana u sujuuda oo allabari u bixiya;
He had said to them, “You must have an awesome respect for me, Yahweh, the one who brought you out of Egypt with my very great power [DOU]. I am the one whom you must bow down to honor, and I am the one to whom you must offer sacrifices.
37 oo qaynuunnadii, iyo xukummadii, iyo sharcigii, iyo amarkii uu idiin qoray waa inaad dhawrtaan oo aad weligiinba samaysaan, oo waa inaydnaan ka cabsan ilaahyo kale.
You must always obey the laws and commands that I [told Moses to] write for you. You must not worship other gods.
38 Oo axdigii aan idinla dhigtayna waa inaydnaan illoobin, oo aydnaan ilaahyo kale ka cabsan;
And you must not forget the agreement that I made with your ancestors. You must not revere other gods.
39 laakiinse waxaad ka cabsataan Rabbiga Ilaahiinna ah, oo isna wuxuu idinka samatabbixin doonaa gacanta cadaawayaashiinna oo dhan.
Instead, you must revere me, Yahweh, your God. If you do that, I will rescue you from the power [MTY] of all your enemies.”
40 Habase yeeshee iyagu ma ayan dhegaysan, laakiinse waxay sameeyeen sidii caadadoodii hore ay ahayd.
But the people [from those foreign nations] would not heed what Yahweh said. Instead, they continued to adhere to their old customs.
41 Quruumahaasu waxay ka cabsan jireen Rabbiga, isla markaasna waxay u adeegi jireen sanamyadoodii xardhanaa, oo carruurtoodiina saasoo kalay yeeleen, oo carruurtii carruurtooduna saasoo kalay yeeleen, oo sidii awowayaashood samayn jireen ayay iyaguna sameeyaan ilaa maantadan la joogo.
So, they worshiped Yahweh, but they also worshiped their idols. And their descendants still do the same thing.
