Caamoos 5
1 Dadka Israa'iilow, maqla eraygan aan idiinku barooranayo.
You people [MTY] of Israel, listen to this funeral song that I will sing about you:
2 Bikradda ah dalka Israa'iil waa dhacday, oo mar dambena ma sara joogsan doonto. Dalkeedii ayaa lagu dayriyey, oo qof kor u qaada lama arko.
“You are like [MET] a young woman, but in spite of that, you will certainly be struck down and you will never get up again! You will lie on the ground, abandoned, and there will be no one to help you stand up.”
3 Waayo, Sayidka Rabbiga ahu wuxuu leeyahay, Magaaladii ay kuni ka bixi jireen boqol baa u hadhi doona, oo tii ay boqoli ka bixi jireenna toban baa dadka Israa'iil u hadhi doona.
This is what Yahweh the Lord says to the people [MTY] of Israel: [“When your enemies attack you, ] and when 1,000 [of your soldiers] will go [to a battle], there will be only 100 who will survive. When 100 soldiers march out [from a city to fight], there will be only ten who will remain alive.”
4 Waayo, Rabbigu wuxuu dadka Israa'iil ku leeyahay, Aniga i doondoona aad noolaataane.
Yahweh continues to say to the people [MTY] of Israel: “You Israeli people, return to me! If you do that, you will continue to remain alive.
5 Laakiinse Beytel ha doondoonina, Gilgaalna ha gelina, Bi'ir Shebacna ha u gudbina, waayo, sida xaqiiqada ah Gilgaal maxaabiisnimo bay geli doontaa, oo Beytelna way baabbi'i doontaa.
Do not go to Bethel to seek [my help]; do not go to Gilgal [to worship]; do not [even] go to Beersheba, because [your enemies] will drag away [the people of] Gilgal to other countries, and Bethel will be completely destroyed.”
6 Si aad u noolaataan, oo uusan Rabbigu sidii dab reer Yuusuf ugu soo farabbaxsan, oo aan dabku laasan, oo aan Beytel laga waayin wax demiya, Rabbiga doondoona,
So, come to Yahweh; if you do that, you will remain alive. If you do not do that, Yahweh will descend on you descendants [MTY] of Joseph like [SIM] a fire; that fire will burn everything in Bethel, and (nothing/no one) will be able to save that town.
7 kuwiinna caddaaladda u roga dacar oo xaqnimadana dhulka ku tuura.
You people distort what is fair/right and cause [people to think that] it is something that is very bitter; you treat good things as though they are evil.
8 Doondoona kan sameeyey ururrada xiddigaha ah oo la yidhaahdo Toddobaadyada iyo Oriyon, oo gudcurka subaxnimo u beddela, oo maalintana madoobeeya si ay habeen u noqoto, kan biyaha badda u yeedha oo dhulka ku daadiya, magiciisu waa Rabbi.
[Do you know who] created all the groups of stars and put them in their places? [Each morning] he causes the darkness to become the dawn, and [each evening] he causes the daylight to become darkness. He scoops up water from the oceans [to become clouds], and then he dumps the water [from the clouds] onto the earth. The one who does those things is named Yahweh.
9 Isagu baabba' buu ku dejiyaa kuwa xoogga badan, si ay baabba'du ugu dhacdo qalcadda.
He causes strong [soldiers] to be killed, and causes the (high walls around/fortresses of) cities to be torn down.
10 Way neceb yihiin kii iridda wax ku canaanta, oo way karhaan kii si qumman u hadla.
[He is the one who will punish you] because you hate those who challenge anyone who tries to make unjust decisions, and you hate those who tell the truth in your courts.
11 Miskiinka baad ku tumataan, oo waxaad ka qaadataan sarreen badan, sidaas daraaddeed guryihii aad dhagax la qoray ka dhisateen kuma hoyan doontaan, oo beercanabyadii wanwanaagsanaa ee aad beerateenna khamrigooda kama cabbi doontaan.
You oppress poor people and force them to pay big taxes. You have built big stone mansions [for yourselves], but you will not be able to live in them. You have planted vineyards, but there will not be any [grapes for you to harvest to make] wine.
12 Waayo, waan ogahay xadgudubyadiinnu inay badan yihiin, iyo dembiyadiinnu inay waaweyn yihiin, kuwiinnan kii xaqa ah dhiba, ee laaluush qaata, oo masaakiinta iridda joogtana xaqooda ka leexiya.
I know all of your sins and the terrible crimes that you have committed. You oppress righteous/honest people, and you accept bribes. You do not allow judges to treat poor people justly.
13 Haddaba kii miyir lahu wakhtigaas wuu aamusnaan doonaa, waayo, waa wakhti shar ah.
This is a time when [many people do] evil things, so people who have good sense say nothing [when they hear about such things being done].
14 Wanaagga doondoona, sharkase ha doondoonina, aad noolaataane, oo sidaasuu Rabbiga ah Ilaaha ciidammadu idiinla jiri doonaa sidaad u tidhaahdaan.
In order to remain alive, you must stop doing what is wrong, and start doing what is right. If you do that, the Commander of the armies of angels will be with you like you claim [that he always is].
15 Sharka nebcaada, oo wanaagga jeclaada, oo caddaalad iridda ku sameeya, waayo, waxaa suurtowda in Rabbiga ah Ilaaha ciidammadu uu u roonaado kuwa reer Yuusuf ka hadhay.
Love what is good, and hate what is evil! Try to cause [judges] in your courts to make decisions that are right/fair! If you do those things, perhaps the Commander of the armies of angels will act mercifully toward [you descendants of] Joseph who are still alive.
16 Haddaba Rabbiga ah Ilaaha ciidammada oo ah Sayidku wuxuu leeyahay, Dariiqyada oo dhan waxaa ka yeedhi doonta baroor, oo jidadka oo dhan waxaa laga odhan doonaa, Hoogay! Hoogay! Oo ninka beerreyda ah waxaa loogu yeedhi doonaa tacsi, oo kuwa baroorta aad u yaqaanna waxaa loogu yeedhi doonaa baroorasho.
“Because I, Yahweh, [will punish you for your sins], this is what I have solemnly declared: People will be wailing loudly in every street, and people will be very sorrowful in every plaza. Farmers will be summoned to [come and] weep, along with the other official mourners who will wail [for those who have died].
17 Oo beercanabyada oo dhanna waxaa jiri doonta baroorasho, waayo, Rabbigu wuxuu leeyahay, Anigu waan idin dhex mari doonaa.
People will be wailing in your vineyards, because I will punish you [IDM] severely. [That will surely happen because] I, Yahweh, have said it!”
18 Kuwiinna maalinta Rabbiga jeclaystow, waa idiin hoog. Maxaad maalinta Rabbiga u doonaysaan? Waa gudcur, oo iftiin ma aha.
Terrible things will happen to you who desire that it will soon be the day when Yahweh [will punish your enemies], because that will be a day of darkness, not of light.
19 Waa sidii nin libaax ka cararay oo orso ka hor timid, ama intuu guri galay derbiga ku tiirsaday oo markaas abeeso gacanta ka qaniintay.
[At that time, ] when you try to run from a lion, you will face a bear. When you run into your house [to be safe], and you put your hand on a wall, it will be bitten by a snake.
20 Maalinta Rabbigu sow ma ahaan doonto gudcur aan iftiin lahayn, iyo xataa gudcur weyn oo aan dhalaal lahayn?
That day, [when he punishes people], will certainly be [RHQ] a very dark day [MET], without even a little bit of light.
21 Iidihiinna waan nebcahay, waanna quudhsadaa, oo shirarkiinnana kuma farxo.
[Yahweh says], “I hate your religious celebrations and the times when you gather to worship me; I detest them [DOU].
22 In kastoo aad ii bixisaan qurbaannadiinna aad gubtaan iyo qurbaannadiinna hadhuudhka ah anigu aqbali maayo, oo qurbaannadiinna nabaadiino oo xoolihiinna buurbuuranna dan ka yeelan maayo.
Even if you bring me offerings that will be completely burned [on the altar] and offerings of grain, I will no longer accept them. Even if you bring me offerings to renew/maintain fellowship with me, I will not pay any attention to them.
23 Iga fogeeya qaylada gabayadiinna, waayo, anigu dhegaysan maayo luuqda shareeradihiinna.
So, stop singing noisy/loud songs! I will not listen when you play harps.
24 Laakiinse caddaaladdu sida biyo ha u qulqusho, oo xaqnimaduna sida webi fatahaya ha u yaacdo.
Instead, your continually acting justly/fairly and righteously should be [never stop, ] like [SIM] [the water in] a river that never stops flowing.
25 Bal reer binu Israa'iilow, allabaryo iyo qurbaanno miyaad cidladii iigu bixiseen afartankii sannadood?
You Israeli people [MTY], your [ancestors] wandered through the desert for 40 years; and during that time, they never brought any sacrifices and offerings to me!
26 Waxaadse sidateen Taambuuggii Moleg iyo sanamyadii Kiyuun, kaasoo ah xiddigtii ilaahiinnii ee aad nafsaddiinna u samaysateen.
But they carried the two idols that they had made— the idols of Succoth, the god [that they considered to be] their king, and Kaiwan, [the image of the] star [that they worshiped].
27 Haddaba sidaas daraaddeed Rabbiga magiciisu yahay Ilaaha ciidammadu wuxuu leeyahay, Anigu waxaan idinka dhigi doonaa in maxaabiis ahaan laydiinku kaxaysto Dimishaq shishadeeda.
Therefore, now I will force you to go to [a country that is] far beyond Damascus! [That will surely happen because] I, the Commander of the armies of angels, have said it!”
