< Caamoos 3 >

1 Reer binu Israa'iilow, bal maqla eraygan Rabbigu idinkaga hadlay. Waxaan kaga hadlay dadkii aan dalka Masar ka soo bixiyey oo dhan, anigoo leh,
“You people of Israel, I brought all your ancestors out of Egypt; so listen to what I am saying about you.
2 Idinka oo keliya ayaan idinka iqiin qolooyinka dhulka deggan oo dhan, haddaba xumaatooyinkiinnii oo dhan ayaan idiin ciqaabi doonaa.
From all the people-groups on the earth, I [chose and] took care of only you. That is the reason that I will punish you for the sins that you have committed.”
3 Laba qof miyey wada socdaan haddaanay heshiis ahayn?
Two [people] certainly cannot [RHQ] walk together if they have not [already] agreed [about what place they will start walking from].
4 Aar miyuu duudda ka ciyaa, hadduusan raq haysan? Aaran libaax miyuu bohoshiisa ka qayliyaa, hadduusan waxba soo qaadan?
A lion certainly does not [RHQ] roar in the bushes/forest if it has not killed another animal. It does not [RHQ] growl in its den if it is not eating [the flesh of an animal that it has caught].
5 Shimbiru miyey dabin dhulka ku kor yaal ku dhici kartaa, haddaan siriq loo dhigin? Dabin miyuu dhulka ka boodda isagoo aan innaba wax qabsan?
No one can [RHQ] catch a bird if [he does] not [set] a trap for it. A trap does not spring shut unless some [animal] has not sprung the trap.
6 Haddiise magaalo buun laga dhex afuufo, miyaan dadku cabsan? Miyaa belaayo magaalo ku dhacdaa, haddaan Rabbigu saas ku samayn?
[Similarly, all] the people in a city certainly [RHQ] become afraid when [they hear someone] blowing a trumpet [to signal that enemies are attacking]. And when a city experiences disaster, Yahweh is the one who has caused it [RHQ].
7 Sida xaqiiqada ah Sayidka Rabbiga ahu waxba ma samayn doono, inuu qarsoodiga u muujiyo addoommadiisa nebiyada ah mooyaane.
And whatever Yahweh plans to do, he tells his prophets about it.
8 Aarkii waa ciyey, haddaba bal yaan cabsanayn? Sayidka Rabbiga ahu waa hadlay, haddaba bal yaa wax sii sheegi waayaya?
Everyone certainly becomes terrified [RHQ] when they hear a lion roar, and if Yahweh the Lord has given messages [to prophets like me], we certainly must [RHQ] proclaim those messages, [even if they cause people to become terrified].
9 Warkan ka dhex naadiya daaraha waaweyn ee Ashdood ku yaal iyo daaraha waaweyn ee dalka Masar ku dhex yaalba, oo waxaad tidhaahdaan, War waxaad ku soo shirtaan buuraha Samaariya korkooda, oo bal eega buuqa weyn oo halkaas ku jira, iyo dulmiga ku dhex jira.
[I said this to the leaders of Samaria] (OR, [Yahweh said this to me]): Send this message to the leaders [MET] in Ashdod [city] and to Egypt: “Come to the hills of Samaria and see [the way that their (leaders/wealthy people)] are causing people in that city to be terrified, and [the way that they] are causing the people to suffer!”
10 Waayo, Rabbigu wuxuu leeyahay, Kuwa daarahooda waaweyn ku soo urursadaa wixii xoog iyo tuugnimo lagu soo dhacay ma ay gartaan si ay wax qumman u sameeyaan.
Yahweh says that the people there do not know how to do things that are right. Their homes are filled with [valuable things] that they have stolen or [taken] violently [from others].
11 Haddaba Sayidka Rabbiga ahu wuxuu leeyahay, Cadow baa dalka hareerayn doona, oo isna xooggiinna wuu idinka qaadi doonaa, oo daarihiinna waaweynna waa la wada dhici doonaa.
So Yahweh [our] God says that [soon] their enemies will come and tear down their (defenses/high city walls) and take away those valuable things.
12 Rabbigu wuxuu leeyahay, Sida adhijirku afka libaaxa uga badbaadiyo laba lugood, amase dheg go'eed, saasoo kalaa loo badbaadin doonaa dadka Israa'iil ee Samaariya deggan oo ku fadhiya sariirta rukunkeeda iyo gogosha barkimaheeda xariirta ah.
Yahweh has declared this: “When a lion attacks a sheep, [sometimes] a shepherd will be able to snatch from the lion’s mouth only two legs or an ear of the sheep. Similarly, [only] a few people from Samaria will escape, and [they will be able to rescue only] a part of a couch and a part of a bed.”
13 Sayidka Rabbiga ah oo ah Ilaaha ciidammadu wuxuu leeyahay, Maqla oo ku markhaati fura reerka Yacquub.
The Commander of the armies of angels said this: “Proclaim [this message] about the descendants [MTY] of Jacob:
14 Maalinta aan dadka Israa'iil xadgudubyadooda u ciqaabi doono ayaan weliba meelaha allabariga ee Beytel baabbi'in doonaa, oo meelaha allabariga geesahooda ka taagan waa la wada jari doonaa, oo dhulkay ku soo dhici doonaan.
When I, Yahweh, punish [the people of] Israel because of the sins that they have committed, I will cause the altars at Bethel [town] to be destroyed; even the projections at the corners of the altars will be cut off and fall to the ground.
15 Oo Rabbigu wuxuu leeyahay, Waan dumin doonaa guryaha gabowga iyo guryaha kulaylkaba, oo guryaha foolmaroodiga ahuna way wada baabbi'i doonaan, oo daaraha waaweynuna way wada dhammaan doonaan.
I will cause the houses [that they live in during] the (winter/rainy season) and those [in which they live during] the (summer/dry season) to be torn down. [Beautiful] big houses and houses [that are decorated] with ivory will be destroyed. [That will surely happen because I], Yahweh, have said it!”
