Yexesqeel 21

1 Oo haddana Eraygii Rabbiga ayaa ii yimid isagoo leh,

And the word of the LORD came to me, saying,

2 Wiilka Aadamow, wejigaaga xagga Yeruusaalem u sii jeedi, oo hadal xagga meelaha quduuska ah ka gees ah ku hadal, oo waxaad wax ka sii sheegtaa dalka reer binu Israa'iil.

“Son of man, set your face against Jerusalem and preach against the sanctuaries. Prophesy against the land of Israel

3 Oo waxaad dalka reer binu Israa'iil ku tidhaahdaa, Rabbigu wuxuu leeyahay, Bal eeg, anigu col baan kugu ahaye, oo intaan seeftayda galkeeda ka soo bixiyo ayaan kan xaqa ah iyo sharrowgaba kaa baabbi'in doonaa.

and tell her that this is what the LORD says: ‘I am against you, and I will draw My sword from its sheath and cut off from you both the righteous and the wicked.

4 Seeftaydu intay galkeeda ka soo baxdo ayay wada baabbi'in doontaa binu-aadmiga oo dhan tan iyo koonfur iyo ilaa woqooyi inta ka dhex leh, maxaa yeelay, anigu waxaan markaas kaa baabbi'in doonaa kan xaqa ah iyo sharrowgaba.

Because I will cut off both the righteous and the wicked, My sword will be unsheathed against everyone from south to north.

5 Oo binu-aadmiga oo dhammuba waxay wada ogaan doonaan in aniga Rabbiga ahu aan seeftaydii galkeedii ka soo bixiyey, oo mar dambena dib uma ay noqon doonto.

Then all flesh will know that I, the LORD, have taken My sword from its sheath, not to return it again.’

6 Haddaba Wiilka Aadamow, taah. Qalbijab iyo si qadhaadh hortooda ugu taah.

But you, son of man, groan! Groan before their eyes with a broken heart and bitter grief.

7 Oo markay kugu yidhaahdaan, War maxaad la taahaysaa? waxaad ugu jawaabtaa, Waxaan la taahayaa warka soo socda aawadiis. Qalbi kastaaba waa dhalaali doonaa, oo gacan kastaaba way taag gabi doontaa, oo naf kastaaba way qalbi jabi doontaa, oo qof kasta jilbihiisu sida biyo oo kale ayay u tabaryaraan doonaan. Sayidka Rabbiga ahu wuxuu leeyahay, Bal eega, way soo socotaa, wayna ahaanaysaa.

And when they ask, ‘Why are you groaning?’ you are to say, ‘Because of the news that is coming. Every heart will melt, and every hand will go limp. Every spirit will faint, and every knee will turn to water.’ Yes, it is coming and it will surely happen, declares the Lord GOD.”

8 Oo haddana Eraygii Rabbiga ayaa ii yimid isagoo leh,

Again the word of the LORD came to me, saying,

9 Wiilka Aadamow, wax sii sheeg, oo waxaad tidhaahdaa, Rabbigu wuxuu leeyahay, Waxaad tidhaahdaa, Seef, seef baa la afeeyey, oo weliba waa la safeeyey.

“Son of man, prophesy and tell them that this is what the Lord says: ‘A sword, a sword, sharpened and polished—

10 Waxaa loo afeeyey inay aad wax u layso, oo waxaa loo safeeyey inay sida hillaac u dhalaasho. Haddaba miyaynu rayraynaa? Usha wiilkaygu waxay quudhsataa geed kasta.

it is sharpened for the slaughter, polished to flash like lightning! Should we rejoice in the scepter of My son? The sword despises every such stick.

11 Oo seefta waxaa loo dhiibay in la safeeyo si wax loogu isticmaalo. Seefta waxaa loo soo afeeyey oo loo soo safeeyey in gacanta loo geliyo kan wax laaya.

The sword is appointed to be polished, to be grasped in the hand. It is sharpened and polished, to be placed in the hand of the slayer.

12 Wiilka Aadamow, qayli oo barooro, waayo, waxay ku kor dhici doontaa dadkayga, oo waxay ku kor dhici doontaa amiirrada reer binu Israa'iil oo dhan. Iyaga iyo dadkaygaba seeftaa loo dhiibay. Haddaba sidaas aawadeed bowdadaada u dharbaax.

Cry out and wail, O son of man, for the sword is wielded against My people; it is against all the princes of Israel! They are tossed to the sword with My people; therefore strike your thigh.

13 Sayidka Rabbiga ahu wuxuu leeyahay, Waxaa jira tijaabin, oo maxaa jiri doona xataa hadday usha wax quudhsata aanay mar dambe sii jiri doonin?

Surely testing will come! And what if even the scepter, which the sword despises, does not continue?’

14 Haddaba sidaas daraaddeed, Wiilka Aadamow, wax sii sheeg, oo sacabbada isku dhufo. Seeftu saddex jeer ha dhacdo, taasoo ah seefta wax lagu laayo, oo kan weyn laysa oo gelaysa xataa qolladahooda.

‘So then, son of man, prophesy and strike your hands together. Let the sword strike two times, even three. It is a sword that slays, a sword of great slaughter closing in on every side!

15 Seefta ayaan irdahooda oo dhan ku cabsiiyey, si uu qalbigoodu u dhalaalo, oo ay kufiddoodu u sii badato. Sida hillaac baa loo dhalaashay oo waxaa loo safeeyey waxlaynta aawadeed!

So that their hearts may melt and many may stumble, I have appointed at all their gates a sword for slaughter. Yes, it is ready to flash like lightning; it is drawn for slaughter.

16 Dadka ururi, xagga midigta u jeeso, dagaal isu diyaari, xagga bidixdana u jeeso, wejigaaga dhinac kasta u jeedi.

Slash to the right; set your blade to the left— wherever your blade is directed.

17 Aniguna sacabbadaydaan isku dhufan doonaa, waanan cadhabeeli doonaa. Aniga Rabbiga ah ayaa saas ku hadlay.

I too will strike My hands together, and I will satisfy My wrath.’

18 Oo haddana Eraygii Rabbiga ayaa ii yimid isagoo leh,

Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying,

19 Weliba Wiilka Aadamow, waxaad taswiir ku tilmaantaa laba jid oo ay seefta boqorka Baabuloon ku iman karto, oo labadooduba waa inay isku dal ka soo baxaan. Meel ku calaamadee, oo waxaad u yeeshaa calaamad ku taal madaxa jidka magaalada soo gala.

“Now you, son of man, mark out two roads for the sword of the king of Babylon to take, both starting from the same land. And make a signpost where the road branches off to each city.

20 Waxaad taswiirtaa jid ay seeftu ugu iman karto Rabbaahda reer Cammoon iyo Yeruusaalemta dhufayska leh oo dalka Yahuudah ku dhex taal.

Mark out one road for the sword to come against Rabbah of the Ammonites, and another against Judah into fortified Jerusalem.

21 Waayo, boqorkii Baabuloon wuxuu soo istaagay meesha jidadku ku kala leexdaan oo ah labada jid madaxooda inuu faaliyo aawadeed. Fallaadhihiisii wuu ku faaliyey, oo teraafiim ayuu la tashaday, oo beer buu fiiriyey.

For the king of Babylon stands at the fork in the road, at the junction of the two roads, to seek an omen: He shakes the arrows, he consults the idols, he examines the liver.

22 Midigtiisa waxaa yiil faalkii Yeruusaalem loo faaliyey, inuu wax lagu jejebiyo dhisto, oo uu afka laynta u furo, oo uu qaylo aad ugu dhawaaqo, oo uu wax lagu jejebiyo irdaha ka hor samaysto, oo uu tuulmo tuulo, oo uu qalcado dhisto.

In his right hand appears the portent for Jerusalem, where he is to set up battering rams, to call for the slaughter, to lift a battle cry, to direct the battering rams against the gates, to build a ramp, and to erect a siege wall.

23 Oo kuwa dhaarta ku dhaartay waxay hortooda ku noqon doontaa sida faal aan waxtar lahayn oo kale, laakiinse isagu xumaantuu soo xusuusan doonaa, si iyaga lagu qabto aawadeed.

It will seem like a false omen to the eyes of those who have sworn allegiance to him, but it will draw attention to their guilt and take them captive.

24 Sidaas daraaddeed Sayidka Rabbiga ahu wuxuu leeyahay, Idinku xumaantiinnii waxaad ka dhigteen in la soo xusuusto, oo saasaa xadgudubyadiinnii loo soo bandhigay, oo sidaasaa dembiyadiinnu falimihiinna oo dhan uga muuqdaan, maxaa yeelay, waa laydin soo xusuustay, oo sidaas daraaddeed gacantaa laydinku qaban doonaa.

Therefore this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Because you have drawn attention to your guilt, exposing your transgressions, so that your sins are revealed in all your deeds—because you have come to remembrance—you shall be taken in hand.

25 Oo amiirka reer binu Israa'iil oo nijaasta iyo sharka ah, oo wakhtigiisu hadda yimid marka la ciqaabayow,

And you, O profane and wicked prince of Israel, the day has come for your final punishment.’

26 Sayidka Rabbiga ahu wuxuu kugu leeyahay, Duubka iska fur, oo taajka iska qaad. Xaalku sidiisii sii ahaan maayo. Kan hooseeya sarraysii, oo kan sarreeya hoosaysii.

This is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Remove the turban, and take off the crown. Things will not remain as they are: Exalt the lowly and bring low the exalted.

27 Anigu waan afgembiyi, oo afgembiyi, oo afgembiyi doonaa iyada, oo mar dambena siima ay ahaan doonto, ilaa uu yimaado kan xaqa u lahu, oo isaga ayaan siin doonaa.

A ruin, a ruin, I will make it a ruin! And it will not be restored until the arrival of Him to whom it belongs, to whom I have assigned the right of judgment.’

28 Haddaba Wiilka Aadamow, wax sii sheeg, oo waxaad tidhaahdaa, Sayidka Rabbiga ahu sidaasuu reer Cammoon iyo caydoodaba ka leeyahay. Adigu waxaad tidhaahdaa, Seef, seef baa la soo siibay, oo waxaa loo safeeyey waxlaynta aawadeed, inay sida hillaac u dhalaasho oo ay wax baabbi'iso,

Now prophesy, son of man, and declare that this is what the Lord GOD says concerning the Ammonites and their contempt: ‘A sword! A sword is drawn for slaughter, polished to consume, to flash like lightning—

29 inta ay wax aan waxba ahayn kuu arkayaan, oo ay wax been ah kugu faaliyaan, si ay kuugu soo kor daadshaan kuwii la laayay oo sharka ahaa, oo wakhtigoodii yimid markii la ciqaabo.

while they offer false visions for you and lying divinations about you— to be placed on the necks of the wicked who are slain, whose day has come, the time of their final punishment.

30 Galkeedii ha ku noqoto. Anigu waxaan kugu xukumi doonaa meeshii lagugu abuuray iyo dalkii aad ku dhalatay.

Return the sword to its sheath! In the place where you were created, in the land of your origin, I will judge you.

31 Oo waxaan kugu soo kor shubi doonaa dhirifkayga, oo dabkii cadhadayda ayaan kugu soo afuufi doonaa, oo waxaan gacanta kuugu ridi doonaa niman doqonna ah oo aad waxbaabbi'inta u yaqaan.

I will pour out My anger upon you; I will breathe the fire of My fury against you; I will hand you over to brutal men, skilled in destruction.

32 Xaabo baad dabka u noqon doontaa, oo dhiiggaaguna dalkuu dhex oolli doonaa, oo mar dambe laguma soo xusuusan doono, waayo, aniga Rabbiga ah ayaa saas ku hadlay.

You will be fuel for the fire. Your blood will stain your own land. You will not be remembered, for I, the LORD, have spoken.’”
