Yexesqeel 28
1 Oo haddana Eraygii Rabbiga ayaa ii yimid isagoo leh,
[Then] Yahweh gave me another message. [He said]:
2 Wiilka Aadamow, amiirka Turos waxaad ku tidhaahdaa, Sayidka Rabbiga ahu wuxuu leeyahay, Qalbigaagu kor buu isu qaaday, oo waxaad tidhi, Anigu Ilaah baan ahay, oo badaha dhexdooda ayaan kursigii Ilaah ku dul fadhiyaa, laakiinse waxaad tahay binu-aadmi oo Ilaah ma tihid in kastoo aad qalbigaagii qalbigii Ilaah oo kale ka dhigtay.
“You human, give to the king of Tyre this message from [me], Yahweh the Lord: ‘You have very proudly claimed, “I am a god! I sit on a throne of a god [in a city on an island] in the sea!” You boast that you are a god; but you are only a man, not a god.
3 Bal eeg, adigu xataa Daanyeel waad ka sii xigmad badan tahay, oo wax qarsoodi ah oo lagaa qarin karaana innaba ma jiraan.
[You think that] you are wiser than Daniel was, [and you think that] you can understand every secret.
4 Xigmaddaada iyo waxgarashadaada ayaad maalka ku heshay, oo khasnadahaagana waxaad ku buuxsatay dahab iyo lacag.
By being wise and understanding [a lot], you have become [very] rich; you have acquired much gold and silver for your treasuries.
5 Xigmaddaada badan iyo baayacmushtarkaaga ayaad maalkaaga ku sii korodhsatay, oo qalbigaaguna maalkaaga aawadiis ayuu kor isula qaaday.
[Yes, it is true that] by trading wisely, you have been enabled to become very rich, and because you are rich, you have become very proud.
6 Sidaas daraaddeed Sayidka Rabbiga ahu wuxuu leeyahay, Qalbigaagii sidii qalbigii Ilaah oo kale ayaad ka dhigtay,
Therefore, this is what Yahweh the Lord says: “Because you think that you are as wise as a god,
7 sidaas daraaddeed bal ogow waxaan kugu soo kicin doonaa shisheeyayaal oo ah kuwa cabsida leh ee quruumaha, oo iyaguna waxay seeftooda ula soo bixi doonaan inay quruxda xigmaddaada ku kharribaan, oo dhalaalkaagana way nijaasayn doonaan.
I will [now] bring a foreign [army] to attack your [country], an army that causes other nations to be terrified. They will pull out their swords to strike you, [you who think that] [IRO] you have marvelous/great wisdom, and they will destroy all your beautiful things.
8 Yamayskay kugu ridi doonaan, oo waxaad u dhiman doontaa sida dhimashadii kuwii badaha dhexdooda lagu laayay oo kale.
They will bring you down to your grave; you will die violently like [MET] those who died in the sea.
9 Kan ku dilaya weli ma hortiisaad ka odhan doontaa, Anigu Ilaah baan ahay, in kastoo aad binu-aadmi tahay, Ilaahse ma tihid, adoo gacanta kan ku dilaya ku jira?
Then you will certainly not [RHQ] say to those who are killing you, 'I am a god!' [because they will know that] you are not a god; you are only a man.
10 Waxaad shisheeyayaal gacantooda ugu dhiman doontaa sida dhimashadii buuryaqabka, waayo, Sayidka Rabbiga ahu wuxuu leeyahay, Aniga ayaa saas ku hadlay.
You will die like other people who are unacceptable to me die, killed by foreigners.” [That will surely happen because] I, Yahweh, have said it.’”
11 Oo haddana Eraygii Rabbiga ayaa ii yimid isagoo leh,
Yahweh also gave me this message:
12 Wiilka Aadamow, boqorka Turos baroor u qaad, oo waxaad isaga ku tidhaahdaa, Sayidka Rabbiga ahu wuxuu leeyahay, Adigu waxaad ahayd dhammaystirkii kaamilnimada, oo waxaa kaa buuxday xigmad, quruxdaaduna kaamil bay ahayd.
“You human, sing a sad/funeral song about the king of Tyre. Say to him, ‘This is what Yahweh the Lord says: [“You thought that] [IRO] you were completely perfect, extremely wise and handsome.
13 Waxaad joogi jirtay Ceeden oo ahayd beertii Ilaah, oo waxaad huwatay dhagax kasta oo qaali ah, kuwaasoo ahaa sardiyos, iyo tobasiyos, iyo dheemman, iyo berullos, iyo onika, iyo yasbid, iyo safayr, iyo sumurud, iyo mid birqaya, oo dafafkaaga iyo biibiilayaashaada shuqulkoodu wuu kula jiray. Maalintii lagu abuuray waa laguu diyaariyey.
You [had a wonderful life, as though] you were in my [beautiful] garden in Eden. Your [clothes] were decorated with many [HYP] kinds of very valuable stones— ruby, topaz, emerald, chrysolite, onyx, jasper, turquoise, and beryl [stones]. Those stones were set/placed in gold [mountings]. They were prepared for you on the day that you were born.
14 Waxaad ahayd keruubkii subkanaa ee wax dabooli jiray, oo aniga ayaa saas kaa dhigay si aad buurta quduuska ah ee Ilaah u joogtid. Oo waxaad hor iyo dib ugu dhex socon jirtay dhagaxyo dab ah.
I appointed [DOU] you to be like [MET] a strong angel to guard the people. [It was as though I put] you on my holy mountain, and you walked among fiery stones.
15 Maalintii lagu abuuray iyo ilaa markii xaqdarro lagaa helay jidadkaagaad kaamil ku ahayd.
You were completely good in all that you did, from the day that you were created/born, until you [started to] do wicked things.
16 Baayacmushtarigaaga badan aawadiis waxaa dhexdaada laga buuxiyey dulmi, waanad dembaabtay, oo sidaas daraaddeed ayaan adiga sida wax nijaas ah oo kale buurta Ilaah kaaga xooray. Keruubkii wax dabooli jirayow, waan ku halligay oo dhagxanta dabka ah dhexdooda waan kaa baabbi'iyey.
[Then] you became busy trading things, and you started to act violently, and you sinned. So I caused you to be disgraced; and the angel who was guarding you forced you to leave my holy mountain, forced you to leave your place among those fiery stones.
17 Qalbigaagu quruxdaaduu kor isula qaaday, oo xigmaddaadiina waxaad la kharribtay dhalaalkaaga. Dhulkaan kugu xooray oo boqorro hortood ayaan ku dhigay si ay kuu arkaan.
You were extremely proud because you were very handsome. Because you loved beautiful things, you did things that wise people do not do. [So] I threw you to the ground, and allowed [other] kings who saw you to laugh at you.
18 Meelahaagii quduuska ahaa waxaad ku nijaasaysay xumaatooyinkaagii badnaa, iyo xaqdarradii baayacmushtarkaaga, oo sidaas daraaddeed dhexdaadaan dab ka soo bixiyey, oo isna wuu ku baabbi'iyey, oo dhulka korkiisa ayaan dambas kaaga dhigay iyadoo ay kuwa kuu jeeda oo dhammu indhaha kugu hayaan.
By committing many sins and by trading things dishonestly, you caused your places of worship to become unacceptable to me. So I caused a fire [to burn down your city]. [Your city] was burned completely; the people who were watching it saw that only ashes remained on the ground.
19 Dadyowga dhexdooda kuwa kugu yaqaan oo dhammu adigay kula yaabi doonaan, cabsi baad noqotay, oo weligaana mar dambe ma aad jiri doontid.
All the people who knew what your [city was like previously] were appalled. Now [your city] has disappeared, and it will not exist any more.”’”
20 Oo haddana Eraygii Rabbiga ayaa ii yimid isagoo leh,
[Then] Yahweh gave me another message. [He said],
21 Wiilka Aadamow, wejigaaga Siidoon u jeedi oo iyada wax ka sii sheeg,
“You human, turn toward Sidon [city], and declare the terrible things that will happen to it.
22 oo waxaad tidhaahdaa, Siidoonay, Sayidka Rabbiga ahu wuxuu leeyahay, Bal eeg, anigu col baan kugu ahaye, oo waa laygu kaa dhex ammaani doonaa. Oo markaan xukummo dhexdeeda ku sameeyo waxay ogaan doonaan inaan anigu Rabbiga ahay, oo dhexdeeda ayaan quduus ku ahaan doonaa.
Give [the people of Sidon] this message from [me], Yahweh the Lord: ‘I am your enemy, [you people of] Sidon, and by what I do to you, I will reveal that I am very great/glorious. When I punish you and reveal that I am holy, everyone who is watching that will know that it is I, Yahweh, [who have the power to do what I say that I will do].
23 Belaayo iyo dhiig baan jidadkeeda ku soo dayn doonaa, oo kuwa dhaawaca ahna dhexdeedaa lagu xukumi doonaa iyadoo seefu dhinac kastaba kaga taagan tahay, oo markaasay ogaan doonaan inaan anigu Rabbiga ahay.
I will send a plague upon you, and I will send [enemies to come and] kill [MTY] you in your streets. They will attack you from every direction, and your people will be slaughtered inside the walls of your city. Then everyone will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].'
24 Oo mar dambe ma ay jiri doonaan yamaarug reer binu Israa'iil muda, amase qodax iyaga xanuujisa oo ka mid ah kuwa hareerahooda ku wareegsan oo iyaga quudhsaday oo dhan; oo waxay ogaan doonaan inaan anigu ahay Sayidka Rabbiga ah.
No longer will those who live near you people of Israel [hurt you] like [MET] painful briers and sharp thorns [hurt people]. And then the Israeli people will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].”
25 Sayidka Rabbiga ahu wuxuu leeyahay, Markaan reer binu Israa'iil ka soo ururiyo dadyowga ay ku kala dhex firidhsan yihiin, oo aan dhexdooda quduus ku noqdo iyadoo ay quruumuhu indhaha ku hayaan, ayay dalkoodii aan addoonkaygii Yacquub siiyey dhex degganaan doonaan.
And this is [also] what Yahweh the Lord says: “Some day the people of Israel will live in their own land [again], the land that I gave to Jacob, who [also] served me. I will gather them from [distant] countries where I have scattered them. And I will reveal to the nations that I am holy among my people.
26 Oo halkaasay ammaan ku dhex degganaan doonaan, oo guryo bay dhisan doonaan, oo beero canab ah bay beeran doonaan, oo weliba ammaan bay ku degganaan doonaan, markaan kuwa hareerahooda ku wareegsan oo iyaga quudhsada oo dhan xukummo ku soo dejiyo, oo markaasay ogaan doonaan inaan anigu ahay Rabbiga Ilaahooda ah.
My people will live safely in Israel; they will build houses and plant vineyards. And when I punish the nearby nations that despised them, they will know that it is I, Yahweh their God, [who has done it].”
