Yexesqeel 22
1 Oo haddana Eraygii Rabbiga ayaa ii yimid isagoo leh,
Yahweh gave me another message. He said,
2 Haddaba Wiilka Aadamow, adigu ma doonaysaa inaad xukunto, ma doonaysaa inaad magaalada dhiigga qabta xukunto? Haddaba waa inaad iyada waxyaalaheeda karaahiyada ah oo dhan ogeysiisid.
“You human, are you ready to condemn the people of Jerusalem? It is [RHQ] a city full of murderers [MTY]. Remind them of all the detestable things that they have done.
3 Oo waxaad tidhaahdaa, Sayidka Rabbiga ahu wuxuu leeyahay, Waxaad tahay magaalo dhexdeeda dhiig ku daadisa si uu wakhtigeedu u yimaado, oo sanamyo iyada u daran samaysa inay isku nijaasayso.
[Then] say, ‘This is what Yahweh the Lord says: By your murdering people and by (defiling yourselves/making yourselves unacceptable to God) by making idols, you people of this city [APO] have brought to yourselves the time when you [will be destroyed].
4 Waxaad ku eedowday dhiiggii aad daadisay, oo waxaad ku nijaasowday sanamyadaadii aad samaysatay, oo wakhtigaagiina waad ka yeeshay inuu soo dhowaado, oo weliba cimrigaagiina wuu buuxsamay, oo sidaas daraaddeed cay baan quruumaha kaaga dhigay, oo majaajilo baan waddammada oo dhan kaaga dhigay.
You have become guilty by doing both of those things [DOU]. You have brought to an end your time [to remain alive] [DOU]. Therefore I will cause you to become a group whom the [people of other] nations will scorn; they will all laugh at you [DOU].
5 Taada magaceedu ba'ay ee rabshadu ka buuxdaay, kuwa kuu dhow iyo kuwa kaa foguba way kugu majaajiloon doonaan.
People in countries that are near you and people who live far from you will make fun of you, because your city is full of lawless people and full of confusion.
6 Bal eeg, amiirrada reer binu Israa'iil ee ku dhex jooga midkood kastaaba wuxuu sidii xooggiisu ahaa ku talajiray inuu dhiig daadiyo.
Think about how each of your Israeli kings have used their power to cause people to be murdered [MTY].
7 Dhexdaaday aabbe iyo hooyo ku fududaysteen, oo dhexdaaday shisheeyaha ku dulmeen, oo dhexdaaday agoonta iyo carmalka ku dhibeen.
Your people do not respect/honor their parents; they have oppressed foreigners; they mistreat orphans and widows.
8 Waxyaalahaygii quduuska ahaa waad quudhsatay, oo sabtiyadaydiina nijaas baad ka dhigtay.
You despise my sacred places and (dishonor/do not respect) the Sabbath days.
9 Waxaa dhexdaada jooga niman xanta qaada si ay dhiig u daadiyaan, oo dhexdaada ayay buuraha wax ku cunaan, oo dhexdaada ayay shar ku sameeyaan.
Among you are men who tell lies in order to cause others to be executed [MTY]. There are those who [food offered to idols] at the hilltop [shrines], and they perform disgusting sexual acts.
10 Dhexdaada ayay cawradii aabbahood ku soo bannaan dhigaan, oo dhexdaada ayay tan xaylka qabta ku ceebeeyaan.
There are men who have sex with their father’s wives [EUP], and men who have sex with women during their monthly menstrual periods.
11 Midba wuxuu karaahiyo la sameeyaa naagtii deriskiisa, oo mid kalena wuxuu si shar ah u nijaaseeyaa gabadha uu soddogga u yahay, oo mid kalena wuxuu dhexdaada ku kufsadaa walaashiis oo ah gabadhii aabbihiis.
There are men who have sex with someone else’s wife. Some men have sex with their daughters-in-law or with their sisters or half-sisters.
12 Dhexdaada ayay laaluush ku qaataan si ay dhiig u daadiyaan aawadeed, oo waxaad qaadataa korsaar iyo ribo, oo si hunguri weyn iyo dulmi ah ayaad uga faa'iidaysataa deriskaaga, oo aniga waad i illowday, ayaa Sayidka Rabbiga ahu leeyahay.
There are among you men who accept bribes in order to cause someone to be executed [MTY]. You charge high interest when you lend people money. You become rich by forcing people to give you money. [the worst thing is that] you have forgotten me, Yahweh the Lord.
13 Haddaba bal eeg, anigu gacmahaygaan isugu dhuftaa faa'iidadaadii aad daacadla'aanta ku heshay, iyo dhiiggii lagugu dhex daadiyey.
So I will shake my fists at you to show that I am angry with you because of your stealing money from people and murdering [MTY] people who live among you.
14 Wakhtiga aan kula macaamiloon doono miyaa qalbigaagu u adkaysan karaa, miyaase gacmahaagu xoog u yeelan karaan? Aniga Rabbiga ah ayaa saas ku hadlay oo saas samayn doona.
When I [punishing] you, you will no longer [RHQ] be courageous/brave [DOU]. I, Yahweh, have said [what I will do to you], and I will do it.
15 Oo quruumahaan kugu dhex eryi doonaa, oo waddammadaan kugu dhex firdhin doonaa, wasakhdaadana dhexdaada waan ka baabbi'in doonaa.
I will cause you to be scattered among many nations [DOU], and I will cause you to stop your sinful behavior.
16 Oo waad isku nijaasoobi doontaa iyadoo ay quruumahu indhaha ku hayaan, oo waxaad ogaan doontaa inaan anigu Rabbiga ahay.
When [the people of other] nations see that you have been humiliated, you will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].’”
17 Oo haddana Eraygii Rabbiga ayaa ii yimid isagoo leh,
Yahweh [also] said to me,
18 Wiilka Aadamow, reer binu Israa'iil wasakh bay ii noqdeen, oo kulligood waa naxaas iyo qasacad iyo bir iyo laxaamad foornada ku dhex jira, oo xataa waa wasakhda lacagta.
“You human, your Israeli people [MTY] have [useless] to me. They are [like] [MET] dross/slag to me. They are like [SIM] [worthless] copper, tin, iron, and lead that remains after silver is melted in [very hot] furnace.
19 Sidaas daraaddeed Sayidka Rabbiga ahu wuxuu leeyahay, Waxaan idinku soo ururin doonaa Yeruusaalem gudaheeda, maxaa yeelay, kulligiin wasakh baad noqoteen.
Therefore, this is what [I], Yahweh the Lord, say: Because you have all become [like] dross/slag, I will gather you in Jerusalem.
20 Sida lacag, iyo naxaas, iyo bir, iyo laxaamad, iyo qasacad loo soo ururiyo, oo foornada loogu dhex rido in dabka lagu afuufo si loo dhalaaliyo aawadeed, sidaas oo kalaan idinku soo wada ururin doonaa xanaaqayga iyo cadhadayda, oo halkaasaan idinku ridi doonaa oo aan idinku dhalaalin doonaa.
People [ore containing] silver, copper, iron, lead, and tin in a [very hot] furnace and melt them in a blazing [to burn up the impurities]. Similarly [SIM], I will gather you [inside Jerusalem], and because I am very angry with you, [what I will do will be as though] I am melting you.
21 Hubaal waan idin soo ururin doonaa oo waxaan idinku soo afuufi doonaa dabka cadhadayda, oo idinkuna dhexdiisaad ku dhalaali doontaan.
[It will be as though] I will blow on you with a hot breath that shows that I am very angry, [it will be as though] you will be melted,
22 Sida lacagta foornada dhexdeeda loogu dhalaaliyo ayaad dhexdeeda ugu wada dhalaali doontaan, oo waxaad ogaan doontaan in aniga Rabbiga ahu aan cadhadaydii idinku kor shubay.
as though you will be melted like [SIM] silver is melted in a furnace, and then you will know that I, Yahweh, have poured out my punishment [MTY] on you.”
23 Oo haddana Eraygii Rabbiga ayaa ii yimid isagoo leh,
Yahweh gave me another message. He said,
24 Wiilka Aadamow, waxaad Yeruusaalem ku tidhaahdaa, Waxaad tahay dal aan la nadiifin oo aan maalinta dhirifka roob lagu soo kor dayn.
“You human, say to the Israeli people, ‘[Yahweh] is angry with you, there has been no rain or showers in your country.’
25 Shirqool bay nebiyadeedu dhexdeeda ku sameeyeen, sidii libaax ciyaya oo xoog wax ku qabsada. Nafo dad ayay baabbi'iyeen, oo waxay iska qaataan khasnad iyo waxyaalo qaali ah, oo waxay u yeeleen carmallo badan oo dhexdeeda jooga.
Your leaders are like [SIM] lions that tear apart the animals that they have killed. Your leaders destroy their people. They steal treasures and [other] valuable things from people, and they cause many women to become [by murdering their husbands].
26 Oo wadaaddadeediina sharcigaygii si xun bay u dhaafeen, oo waxay nijaaseeyeen waxyaalahaygii quduuska ahaa. Innaba ma ay kala duwin wixii quduuska ahaa iyo wixii nijaasta ahaa, oo innaba dadka ma ay barin inay kala gartaan wixii nadiifta ahaa iyo wixii aan nadiifta ahayn, oo indhahoodana waxay ka qariyeen sabtiyadaydii, oo anigana dhexdoodaa wax nijaas ah laygaga dhigay.
Their priests disobey my laws and disrespect my sacred things by saying that there is no difference between things that are sacred and those that are not sacred, and by ignoring my laws about honoring the Sabbath days. As a result, they no [longer] honor me.
27 Amiirradeeda dhex joogaa waa sida yeey xoog wax ku qabsata oo kale inay dhiig daadiyaan, iyo inay nafo dad halligaan, si ay faa'iido daacadla'aan ugu helaan aawadeed.
Their officials are like [SIM] wolves that tear apart the animals that they have killed: They murder people [DOU] in order to get their money.
28 Oo nebiyadeeduna waxay ku malaaseen dhoobo aan nuurad lahayn, oo iyagoo aan Rabbigu la hadlin ayay yidhaahdaan, Sayidka Rabbiga ah ayaa saas leh, illowse waxay arkeen wax aan waxba ahayn, oo wax been ah bay iyaga ugu faaliyeen.
Their prophets, by falsely saying they have received [from God], and by giving false messages, try to (cover up [MET]/say that it is all right to commit) those sins. They say, ‘This is what Yahweh the Lord says,’ when I have said nothing to them.
29 Dadkii dalku waxay ku isticmaaleen dulmi, oo wax bay dheceen, oo masaakiintii iyo saboolkii baahnaa aad bay u dhibeen, oo xataa shisheeyihii si xun bay u dulmeen.
The Israeli people force others to give them money, and they rob people. They oppress poor [DOU] people, and they mistreat foreigners among them by not treating them [in the courts].
30 Oo anigu waxaan dhexdooda ka doondoonay nin heeraarka kor u dhisa oo hortayda ku soo istaaga meesha dunsan dalka aawadiis, si aanan u baabbi'in, laakiinse midna ma aan helin.
I looked among them to find a man who would cause the people of the city to repent [MET] so that I would not need to get rid of them. But I did not find anyone.
31 Sidaas daraaddeed dhirifkaygaan ku soo shubay, oo dabkii cadhadayda ayaan ku baabbi'iyey, oo jidkoodiina madaxoodaan kaga abaalmariyey, ayaa Sayidka Rabbiga ahu leeyahay.
So because I am very angry with them, I will severely punish them [MTY] for [all] the wicked things that they have done. [That will surely happen because I], Yahweh the Lord, have said it.”
