Yexesqeel 17
1 Oo haddana Eraygii Rabbiga ayaa ii yimid isagoo leh,
And the word of Yahweh came unto me saying:
2 Wiilka Aadamow, halxidho, oo reer binu Israa'iil masaal kula hadal,
Son of man Put thou forth a riddle And speak thou a parable, - Unto the house of Israel:
3 oo waxaad ku tidhaahdaa, Sayidka Rabbiga ahu wuxuu leeyahay, Waxaa Lubnaan yimid gorgor weyn oo baadad waaweyn oo baalashiisu dheerdheer yihiin, oo baalal badan oo kala midab ah leh, oo wuxuu qaatay intii ugu sarraysay oo geedka kedarka la yidhaahdo.
So then thou shalt say, Thus, saith My Lord. Yahweh, — A great eagle, with large wings of long pinion, full of plumage, which had divers colours, came unto Lebanon, and took the highest branch of the cedar:
4 Oo wuxuu jaray laamihiisii yaryaraa, ta ugu korraysa, oo dal baayacmushtar badan geeyey, oo wuxuu dhigay magaalo baayacmushtariyaal.
The crown of its young twigs, plucked he off, and brought it into a land of traffic, in a city of merchants, he set it.
5 Markaasuu qaatay iniinihii dalka, wuuna ku dhex beeray beer wanaagsan, oo wuxuu ag dhigay biyo badan dhinacood oo u qotomiyey sidii geed safsaf ah.
So he took of the seed of the land, and planted it in a field for seed, - He took it near mighty waters, Like a willow-tree, he set it.
6 Oo iyana way kortay, oo waxay noqotay geed canab ah oo fidsan laakiinse sarajooggiisu gaaban yahay oo laamihiisu xaggiisa u soo noqdeen, oo xididdadiisuna isagay ka hooseeyeen, oo saasuu geedcanab u noqday, oo uu laamo u soo bixiyey, oo uu caleemo cagaar ah u soo saaray.
And it shot forth, and became a spreading vine of lowly stature, Its branches turning towards him, And its roots under him spread, - So it became a vine, And brought forth shoots, And sent forth boughs.
7 Oo weliba waxaa kaloo jiray gorgor kale oo weyn, oo baadad waaweyn, oo baalashiisu ay badan yihiin, oo bal eeg, geedkan canabka ahu xididdadiisuu xaggiisa u soo leexiyey, oo laamihiisiina xaggiisuu u soo bixiyey si uu uga waraabiyo meel ka leexsan meeshii lagu dhex beeray.
And it came to pass that there was another great eagle, with large wings, and abundant plumage, - And lo! this vine, stretched its roots hungry towards him. And its branches, sent it forth unto him, That he might cause it to drink out of the beds where it was planted:
8 Waxaa lagu beeray ciid wanaagsan oo biyo badan u dhow, si uu laamo u soo bixiyo, oo uu midho u dhalo, oo uu geedcanab wanaagsan u noqdo aawadeed.
In a goodly field by mighty waters, was it planted, - That it might bring forth boughs, and bear fruit, That it might become a splendid vine.
9 Waxaad ku tidhaahdaa, Sayidka Rabbiga ahu wuxuu leeyahay, Miyaa geedkaasu liibaani doonaa? Miyuusan xididdadiisa rujin doonin, oo uusan midhihiisa u googooyn doonin si uu u engego, oo caleemihiisa cagaarka ah oo dhammu ay u engegaan, in kastoo aan xoog weyn amase dad tiro badanu xididdadiisa rujin?
Say thou, Thus, saith My Lord Yahweh, Shall it thrive? Its roots, will he not tear up? Its fruit, will he not cut off, that it wither? All the fresh leaves it hath caused to spring forth shall wither without a strong arm or many people, to pull it up by its roots.
10 In kastoo la beeray miyuu liibaani doonaa? Oo miyuusan kulligiis engegi doonin markii dabaysha bari ay taabato? Meeshii lagu beeray wuu ka engegi doonaa.
Lo! therefore though [it remain] planted, shall it thrive? As soon as an east wind toucheth it, will it not utterly wither? On the beds where it sprang up, will it not wither?
11 Oo haddana Eraygii Rabbiga ayaa ii yimid isagoo leh,
Then came the word of Yahweh unto me saying:
12 Haddaba waxaad reerka caasiyoobay ku tidhaahdaa, War miyaydaan waxyaalahaas micnahooda garanayn? Waxaad ku tidhaahdaa, Bal eega, boqorkii Baabuloon Yeruusaalem buu yimid, oo wuxuu kaxaystay boqorkeedii iyo amiirradeediiba, oo Baabuloon buu u watay.
Say, I pray thee unto the perverse house, Know ye not what these things are? Say thou Lo! the King of Babylon entered Jerusalem And took her king and her princes, And brought them unto him in Babylon;
13 Oo boqorka farcankiisiina wuu watay, oo axdi buu la dhigtay, oo dhaar buu isagii marsaday, oo weliba wuxuu kaloo kaxaystay dalka raggiisii xoogga badnaa,
Yea took of the seed royal And solemnised with him a covenant, And brought him into an oath, Also the mighty ones of the land, did he take.
14 si ay boqortooyadu u sii hoosayso, oo ayan marnaba kor isu qaadin, laakiinse ay u sii taagnaato axdigiisa oo ay dhawrto aawadiis.
That, the kingdom might be abased, so as not to lift itself up, — By the keeping of his covenant, might be made to stand.
15 Laakiinse isagu wuu ku caasiyoobay markuu ergooyinkiisii Masar ugu diray si ay isaga u siiyaan fardo iyo dad faro badan. Miyuu liibaanayaa? Kii waxyaalahaas oo kale sameeyaa miyuu baxsan doonaa? Amase intuu axdiga jebiyo miyuu baxsan doonaa?
But he hath rebelled against him by sending his messengers to Egypt, that there should be given to him horses, and much people. Shall he thrive? Shall he escape that doeth these things? Shall he break a covenant and escape?
16 Sayidka Rabbiga ahu wuxuu leeyahay, Noloshaydaan ku dhaartaye, sida xaqiiqada ah meesha uu deggan yahay boqorkii isaga boqorka ka dhigay, oo uu isagu dhaartiisii quudhsaday, oo uu weliba axdigiisii jebiyey, isaga qudhdiisa ayuu Baabuloon gudaheeda kula dhiman doonaa.
As I live, Declareth My Lord Yahweh, Very! in the place where dwelleth the king that made him king, Whose oath he hath despised, And whose covenant he hath broken With him in the midst of Babylon, shall he die.
17 Oo Fircoon iyo ciidankiisa xoogga badan, iyo guuto badan toona isaga dagaalka kuma ay taageeri doonaan marka tuulmo la tuulo, oo qalcado la dhiso si dad badan loo baabbi'iyo.
Neither shall Pharaoh with a great force. or with a large gathered host, work with him in the war, by casting up an earthwork and by building a siege-wall, —to the cuting off of many lives.
18 Maxaa yeelay, isagu dhaartii wuu quudhsaday markuu axdigii jebiyey, oo intuu gacantiisa ku dhaartay ayuu haddana waxyaalahaas oo dhan sameeyey, oo sidaas aawadeed innaba ma uu baxsan doono.
Seeing he hath despised an oath. by breaking a covenant—yea lo! hath given his hand and all these things hath done he shall not escape.
19 Sidaas daraaddeed Sayidka Rabbiga ahu wuxuu leeyahay, Noloshaydaan ku dhaartaye, sida xaqiiqada ah dhaartaydii uu quudhsaday iyo axdigaygii uu jebiyey ayaan madaxiisa kaga abaalmarin doonaa.
Therefore, Thus saith My Lord Yahweh As I live, Surely it is mine oath which he hath despised, and my covenant which he hath broken, Therefore will I bring it upon his own head:
20 Oo korkiisaan ku kala bixin doonaa shabaggayga, oo isagaa dabinkayga lagu soo qaban doonaa, oo Baabuloon waan keeni doonaa, oo xadgudubkii uu igu xadgudbay aawadiis ayaan isaga halkaas kula xaajoon doonaa.
And I will spread over him my net, And he shall be taken in my snare, And I will bring him into Babylon and will enter into judgment with him there, as to his treachery wherewith he hath been treacherous against me;
21 Oo kuwiisa qaxay ee guutooyinkiisa oo dhammuba seef bay ku le'an doonaan, oo inta ka hadhaana waxay u kala firdhi doonaan qalbadaha oo dhan, oo markaasaad ogaan doontaan inaan aniga Rabbiga ahu waxan ku hadlay.
And all his fugitives throughout all his bands by the sword, shall fall, And they who are left, to every wind, shall be scattered, - [So shall ye know that I, Yahweh, have spoken!]
22 Sayidka Rabbiga ahu wuxuu leeyahay, Weliba waxaan qaadan doonaa geedkedarka dheer laantiisa ugu sarraysa, oo meel baan ka taagi doonaa, oo waxaan gooyn doonaa mid curdan ah oo ka mid ah laamihiisa yaryar oo ugu korreeya, oo waxaan ku dul beeri doonaa buur dheer oo sare.
Thus, saith My Lord Yahweh, Therefore will I, Myself, take of the highest branch of the lofty cedar and set it, — Of the crown of its young twigs, a tender one, will I pluck off, and I. myself will plant it upon a mountain high and terraced,
23 Buurta dheer oo dalka reer binu Israa'iil ayaan ku beeri doonaa, oo waxay soo bixin doontaa laamo, oo midhona way dhali doontaa, oo waxay noqon doontaa geedkedar wanaagsan, oo waxaa hoostiisa ku hoyan doona haad cayn kasta ah, oo waxay degganaan doonaan hooska laamihiisa.
In the mountain of the height of Israel, will I plant it, And it shall put forth boughs And bear fruit, And become a majestic cedar, - And every bird of every wing shall dwell under it, In the shade of its branches, shall they dwell.
24 Oo dhirta duurka ku taal oo dhammuna waxay wada ogaan doonaan in aniga Rabbiga ahu aan geedkii sare hoos u dejiyey, oo aan geedkii hoose kor u qaaday, iyo inaan geedkii qoyanaa qallajiyey, oo aan geedkii qallalnaa magooliyey. Aniga Rabbiga ah ayaa saas ku hadlay oo saas sameeyey.
So shall all the trees of the field know that I Yahweh Have laid low the high tree Have exalted the low tree, Have dried up the moist tree, And have caused to flourish the tree, that was dry, — I, Yahweh, have spoken, and performed.
