Yexesqeel 33
1 Haddana Eraygii Rabbiga ayaa ii yimid isagoo leh,
A message from the Lord came to me, saying,
2 Wiilka Aadamow, dadkaaga la hadal, oo waxaad ku tidhaahdaa, Markaan seef dal ku soo daayo, haddii dadka dalkaasu ay nin iyaga ka mid ah soo soocaan oo ay waardiye ka dhigtaan,
“Son of man, tell your people: If I brought an army to attack a country, the people there would choose one of them to be their watchman.
3 markuu arko seefta dhulka soo degaysa hadduu buunka yeedhiyo, oo uu dadka u digo,
When he saw the army advancing to attack the country, he would blow the trumpet to warn everyone.
4 ku alla kii maqla buunka dhawaaqiisa oo aan digtoonaan, hadday seeftu timaado oo ay isaga nafta ka qaaddo, dhiiggiisu wuxuu saarnaan doonaa madaxiisa.
So if you hear the trumpet but don't pay attention to the warning, and you're killed in the attack, you will be responsible for your own death.
5 Buunka dhawaaqiisuu maqlay, mase digtoonaan, dhiiggiisu isaga uun buu saarnaan doonaa. Hadduu digtoonaan lahaa, naftiisuu samatabbixin lahaa.
Since you heard the trumpet but didn't pay attention to the warning, then you will be responsible for your own death. If you had paid attention the warning, you could have saved your life.
6 Laakiinse waardiyuhu hadduu arko seeftii oo soo socota, illowse uusan buunka yeedhin, oo uusan dadka u digin, hadday seeftu timaado oo ay qof iyaga ka mid ah nafta ka qaaddo, kaasuu xumaantiisuu ku dhintaa, laakiinse dhiiggiisa waxaa la weyddiin doonaa ninkii waardiyaha ahaa gacantiisa.
But if the watchman saw the attack coming and didn't blow the trumpet to warn everyone, and someone is killed, then that person will die in their sins, but I will hold the watchman responsible for their death.
7 Haddaba Wiilka Aadamow, waardiye baan reer binu Israa'iil kaaga dhigay, oo sidaas daraaddeed erayga afkayga ka maqal, oo iyaga xaggayga uga dig.
Son of man, I have appointed you as a watchman for the people of Israel. Listen to what I tell you and warn them for me.
8 Markaan mid sharrow ah ku idhaahdo, Sharrowgow, hubaal waad dhiman doontaa, haddaadan sharrowga jidkiisa sharka ah kala hadlin oo aadan uga digin, ninkaas sharrowga ahu xumaantiisuu ku dhiman doonaa, laakiinse dhiiggiisa gacantaadaan weyddiin doonaa.
If I tell the wicked ‘You're wicked; you're going to die’; but you don't warn them to change what they're doing, then they'll die in their sins and I will hold your responsible for their deaths.
9 Habase ahaatee haddaad sharrowga jidkiisa uga digtid inuu ka soo leexdo aawadeed, laakiinse uusan jidkiisa ka soo noqon, markaas isagu xumaantiisuu ku dhiman doonaa, laakiinse adigu naftaadaad samatabbixisay.
But if you warn the wicked to change what they're doing, and they don't, they will die in their sins, but you will save your own life.
10 Sidaas daraaddeed Wiilka Aadamow, reer binu Israa'iil la hadal, oo waxaad ku tidhaahdaa, Idinku waxaad ku hadashaan oo istidhaahdaan, Xadgudubyadayadii iyo dembiyadayadiiba way na dul saaran yihiin, oo iyaga ayaannu ku dhex macaluulsan nahay, haddaba bal sidee baannu u noolaan karaynaa?
Son of man, tell the people of Israel that this is what they've been saying, ‘We recognize our sins and wrongs, and they weigh on us, wearing us out. How can we go on living?’
11 Waxaad iyaga ku tidhaahdaa, Sayidka Rabbiga ahu wuxuu leeyahay, Noloshaydaan ku dhaartaye inaanan innaba farxad ka helayn dhimashada sharrowga, laakiinse waxaan jeclahay in sharrowgu uu jidkiisa ka soo noqdo oo uu noolaado. Soo noqda, jidkiinna ka soo noqda, waayo, reer binu Israa'iilow, bal maxaad u dhimanaysaan?
Tell them: As I live, declares the Lord God, it brings me no pleasure when wicked people die. I wish they would stop sinning and live! Stop! Stop sinning! Why should you die, people of Israel?
12 Wiilka Aadamow, waxaad dadkaaga ku tidhaahdaa, Ka xaqa ah maalintii uu xadgudub sameeyo xaqnimadiisu ma ay samatabbixin doonto, oo sharrowguna maalintii uu sharnimadiisa ka soo noqdo sharnimadiisa kuma uu dhex dhici doono. Oo ka xaqa ahu maalintii uu dembaabo ma uu kari doono inuu xaqnimadiisa ku noolaado.
So, son of man, tell your people: All the good things a good person has done won't save them when they sin; while the bad things a bad person has done won't be a problem for them if they stop sinning. But good people won't live if they start sinning.
13 Markaan ka xaqa ah ku idhaahdo, Hubaal waad noolaan doontaa, hadduu xaqnimada isku halleeyo oo uu xumaan sameeyo, markaas falimihiisii xaqa ahaa lama soo xusuusan doono, laakiinse wuxuu ku dhiman doonaa xumaantiisii uu sameeyey.
If I tell a good person that they will live and then they rely on their goodness and start sinning, then none of the good things they did will be remembered; he will die because of the sins.
14 Haddana markaan sharrowga ku idhaahdo, Hubaal waad dhiman doontaa, hadduu dembigiisa ka soo noqdo, oo uu waxa xaqa ah oo qumman sameeyo,
But if I tell a bad person, ‘You're going to die’ and they stop sinning and do what is good and right,
15 iyo hadduu sharrowgu rahaamaddii celiyo, oo uu wixii uu dhacay celiyo, oo uu qaynuunnada nolosha ku socdo, isagoo aan innaba xumaan samaynayn, markaas hubaal wuu noolaan doonaa, mana dhiman doono.
if they return security given for a loan, pay back what they've stolen, and follows my laws about how to live, not doing wrong—then they will live; they won't die.
16 Oo dembiyadiisii uu sameeyey midkoodna looma xusuusan doono. Wuxuu sameeyey wax xaq ah oo qumman, oo hubaal wuu noolaan doonaa.
None of their sins will be remembered; they have done what is good and right and so they will live.
17 Laakiinse dadkaagu waxay yidhaahdaan, Sayidka jidkiisu ma qummana, illowse waa iyaga qudhooda waxa aan jidkoodu qummanayn.
However, your people are complaining, ‘What the Lord does isn't right.’ But it's what they're doing that isn't right.
18 Kan xaqa ahu hadduu xaqnimadiisa ka leexdo oo uu xumaan sameeyo, xumaantiisuu ku dhiman doonaa.
If a good person stops doing good and sins, they will die because of it.
19 Laakiinse sharrowgu hadduu sharnimadiisa ka soo noqdo oo uu waxa xaqa ah ee qumman sameeyo, qummanaantiisuu ku noolaan doonaa.
On the other hand, if a bad person turns from their sins and they do what is good and right, they will live as a result.
20 Laakiinse idinku waxaad tidhaahdaan, Sayidka jidkiisu ma qummana. Reer binu Israa'iilow, midkiin kastaba waxaan u xukumi doonaa siday jidadkiisu yihiin.
So how can you say, ‘What the Lord does isn't right’? Well, I'm going to judge each of you depending on what you've done, people of Israel.”
21 Oo sannaddii laba iyo tobnaad ee maxaabiisnimadayadii, bisheedii tobnaad, maalinteedii shanaad ayaa mid Yeruusaalem ka soo baxsaday ii yimid, oo wuxuu igu yidhi, Magaaladii waa la qabsaday.
On the fifth day of the tenth month of the twelfth year of our exile, a refugee who'd escaped from Jerusalem arrived and told me, “The city has been captured!”
22 Oo kan soo cararay intuusan ii iman markay fiidkii ahayd gacantii Rabbiga ayaa i dul saarnayd, oo Rabbigu afkayguu furay, oo ilaa uu aroortii dambe ii yimid ayaa afkaygii furnaa, oo aniguna mar dambe carrablaawe ma aan ahayn.
The previous evening before the messenger arrived the Lord had touched me so I could speak again. This was before the man came to see me in the morning. I wasn't mute any longer—I could speak again.
23 Oo haddana Eraygii Rabbiga ayaa ii yimid isagoo leh,
A message from the Lord came to me, saying,
24 Wiilka Aadamow, meelaha cidlada ah ee dalka reer binu Israa'iil kuwa degganu waxay yidhaahdaan, Ibraahim nin qudhuhuu ahaa, oo isagu dalkan buu dhaxlay, laakiinse innagu waynu badan nahay, oo dalkana innagaa dhaxal ahaan inaloo siiyey.
“Son of man, people living among the ruins in Israel are saying, ‘Abraham was only one man, but the country was given to him to own. There's plenty of us, so the country should belong to us.’
25 Haddaba waxaad iyaga ku tidhaahdaa, Sayidka Rabbiga ahu wuxuu leeyahay, Hilib dhiig leh baad cuntaan, oo sanamyadiinna ayaad indhaha kor ugu taagtaan, oo dhiig baad daadisaan, haddaba ma idinkaa dalka dhaxlaya?
So tell them that this is what the Lord God says: You eat meat with the blood still in it. You go and worship your idols. You commit murder. Do you really think the country should belong to you?
26 Seeftiinnaad isku hallaysaan, oo wax karaahiyo ah ayaad samaysaan, oo midkiin kastaaba naagta deriskiisuu nijaaseeyaa, haddaba ma idinkaa dalka dhaxlaya?
You rely on your swords to get your way. You have done some disgusting things. You're all having sex with each other's wives. Should the country belong to you?
27 Waxaad iyaga ku tidhaahdaa, Sayidka Rabbiga ahu wuxuu leeyahay, Noloshaydaan ku dhaartaye, hubaal kuwa meelaha cidlada ah ku dhex jiraa seef bay ku le'an doonaan, oo kii berrin bannaan joogana dugaaggaan inay cunaan u siin doonaa, oo kuwa qalcadaha iyo boholaha ku jiraana belaayo bay u dhiman doonaan.
Tell them that this is what the Lord God says: As I live, in the people living among the ruins will be killed by the sword. Those living in the countryside will be eaten by wild animals. Those living in the fortresses and caves will die from disease.
28 Oo dalka cidla iyo yaab baan ka dhigi doonaa, oo kibirka xooggiisuna wuu dhammaan doonaa, oo buuraha reer binu Israa'iilna cidla bay noqon doonaan, si aan ciduna u dhex marin.
I will turn the country into a wasteland, and power you are so proud of will be ended. The mountains of Israel will become wild places that no one will want to travel through.
29 Oo markaan dalka cidla iyo yaab uga dhigo waxyaalahoodii karaahiyada ahaa ee ay sameeyeen aawadood waxay ogaan doonaan inaan anigu Rabbiga ahay.
Then the people will acknowledge that I am the Lord, when I have turned the country into a wasteland because of all the disgusting things they have done.
30 Oo weliba Wiilka Aadamow, dadkaagu derbiyada dhinacooda iyo guryaha irdahooda ayay kugu hadal hayaan, oo midkoodba wuxuu kan kale ku yidhaahdaa, oo midba walaalkiis ku yidhaahdaa, Waan ku baryayaaye bal kaalay oo maqal waxa uu yahay erayga Rabbiga ka imanayaa!
Son of man, your people are talking about you out in the streets and in the doorways of their houses. They encourage one another, saying, ‘Come on! Let's go and hear a message from the Lord!’
31 Waxay kuugu yimaadaan sida dadku u yimaado, oo waxay hortaada u fadhiistaan sida dadkayga oo kale, oo erayadaadana way maqlaan, laakiinse innaba ma ay yeelaan, waayo, afkooda ayay jacayl badan ku muujiyaan, laakiinse qalbigoodu wuxuu daba galaa faa'iidadooda.
So my people come and visit you like they usually do. They sit and listen to the message you share, but they don't do anything about it. Even though they talk about love, all they're thinking about is how to cheat others.
32 Bal eeg, waxaad iyaga u tahay sida balwo caashaq ah oo uu mid cod wanaagsan oo alaab muusikeed si wacan ugu cayaari yaqaan ku balweeyo, waayo, erayadaada way maqlaan, laakiinse innaba ma ay yeelaan.
In fact, to them you're just someone who sings love songs with a lovely voice and who is a fine musician. They listen to the message you share, but they don't do anything about it.
33 Oo markay waxyaalahaasu noqdaan, (bal eeg, way iman doonaane, ) waxay ogaan doonaan in nebi uu iyaga dhex joogay.
So when what you say does happen (and it will), then they will realize that they did have a prophet among them.”
