Yexesqeel 34
1 Oo haddana Eraygii Rabbiga ayaa ii yimid isagoo leh,
Yahweh gave me another message. He said,
2 Wiilka Aadamow, adhijirrada reer binu Israa'iil wax ka sii sheeg. Wax ka sii sheeg, oo waxaad adhijirrada ku tidhaahdaa, Sayidka Rabbiga ahu wuxuu leeyahay, Waxaa iska hoogay adhijirrada reer binu Israa'iil oo iyagu isquudiya! Miyaanay adhijirrada ku habboonayn inay adhiga daajiyaan?
“You human, prophesy about [leaders] of Israel. [They should be taking care of my people like] [MET] shepherds [take care of their sheep]. Say to them, ‘This is what Yahweh the Lord says: Terrible things will happen to you leaders [MET] of Israel who only take care of yourselves! You should certainly [RHQ] take care of [your people like] [MET] a shepherd takes care of his flock of sheep!
3 Idinku baruurtaad iska cuntaan, oo dhogortana waad xidhataan, oo jarkaad qalataan, laakiinse adhiga ma aad daajisaan.
[It is as though] you eat the curds, you slaughter the very good animals and wear clothes made from their wool. But you do not take care of the flock.
4 Idinku kii cudur qabay ma aydaan xoogayn, oo kii bukayna ma aydaan bogsiin, oo kii jabnaana ma aydaan kabin, oo kii baxsadayna sooma aydaan celin, oo kii baadiyoobayna ma aydaan doondoonin, laakiinse xoog iyo cadaadin ayaad iyaga ugu taliseen.
You have not enabled those who are weak to become strong. You have not healed those who were sick. You have not bandaged those who were wounded/injured. You have not brought back those who went astray. You have not searched for those who became lost. You have ruled your people harshly and cruelly.
5 Oo wax kala firdheen, maxaa yeelay, adhijir ma ay lahayn, oo waxay cunto u noqdeen dugaaggii duurka oo dhan markay kala firidhsanaayeen.
So they were scattered, because you did not [take care of them like] [MET] a shepherd [takes care of his sheep]. And when they were scattered, [it was as though] wild animals attacked and [killed them and ate] their flesh.
6 Idahaygii waxay ku dul wareegeen buuraha oo dhan iyo kur kasta oo dheerba; oo adhigaygii wuxuu ku kala firidhsanaa dhulka oo dhan, mana jirin cid raadisa oo doondoonta.
My people wandered like sheep all over the high hills and mountains. They were scattered all over the earth, and no one searched for them [DOU].
7 Sidaas daraaddeed, Adhijirradow, bal erayga Rabbiga maqla,
Therefore, you [who should be acting like] shepherds, listen to what I, Yahweh the Lord say:
8 Sayidka Rabbiga ahu wuxuu leeyahay, Noloshaydaan ku dhaartaye, idahaygii waxay noqdeen wax la dhaco, oo idahaygii waxay cunto u noqdeen dugaagga duurka oo dhan, maxaa yeelay, adhijir ma ay lahayn, oo adhijirradayduna ma ay doondoonin, laakiinse adhijirradii way isquudiyeen, adhigaygana ma ay daajin.
As surely as I am alive, my people [are like a flock of sheep that has] no shepherd, and as a result [it is as though] wild animals have attacked my people and eaten them. You did not search for them; instead, you only wanted to provide food for yourselves.
9 Sidaas daraaddeed, Adhijirradow, bal erayga Rabbiga maqla.
Therefore, you [who should be like] [MET] shepherds, listen to what I, Yahweh say:
10 Sayidka Rabbiga ahu wuxuu leeyahay, Bal eega, anigu adhijirradaan col ku ahaye, oo adhigaygiina gacantoodaan weyddiin doonaa, oo waxaan iyaga ka joojin doonaa inay idaha daajiyaan, oo adhijirraduna mar dambe isma quudin doonaan. Adhigaygaan afkooda ka samatabbixin doonaa, si uusan cunto ugu noqonin.
I am opposed to [you leaders who should be like] [MET] shepherds for my people. I will remove you from taking care of my people, with the result that you will no longer feed yourselves [instead of feeding them]. I will rescue my people from you, with the result that you will longer be able to [butcher them and] eat them.
11 Waayo, Sayidka Rabbiga ahu wuxuu leeyahay, Bal eega, aniga, xataa aniga qudhayda ayaa idahayga raadin doona oo doondooni doona.
This is what I, Yahweh the Lord, say to you leaders: I myself will search for my sheep and take care of them.
12 Sida adhijir adhigiisa u doondoono maalintii uu dhex joogo idihiisa kala firidhsan, sidaas oo kalaan idahayga u doondooni doonaa, oo waxaan ka soo samatabbixin doonaa meelihii ay maalintii cadarka iyo gudcurka ahayd ku kala firdheen oo dhan.
Like a shepherd finds his scattered sheep, I will rescue my people from all the places to which they have been scattered, at a time when things were very gloomy and they experienced disasters.
13 Oo iyagaan dadyowga ka soo dhex bixin doonaa, oo waddammadaan ka soo wada ururin doonaa, oo dalkoodaan keeni doonaa, oo waxaan daajin doonaa buuraha reer binu Israa'iil, iyo webiyaasha dhinacooda, iyo dalka meelihiisa la deggan yahay, oo dhan.
I will bring them back from many countries and gather them together again in their own land. [Because my people are like sheep] [MET], [it is as though] I will enable them to find good pastureland on the hills of Israel, and in the ravines, and in the villages of Israel.
14 Waxaan iyaga daajin doonaa meelo daaqsin wanaagsan, oo xeradooduna waxay ahaan doontaa buuraha dhaadheer oo reer binu Israa'iil. Halkaasay xero wanaagsan dhex fadhiisan doonaan, oo waxay daaqsin wanaagsan ka daaqi doonaan buuraha reer binu Israa'iil.
[It is as though] I will allow them to graze in good pastures on the mountaintops. They will lie down in good (grazing areas/grassy fields) there [DOU].
15 Aniga qudhaydu adhigayga waan daajin doonaa oo dhereg baan la fadhiisin doonaa, ayaa Sayidka Rabbiga ahu leeyahay.
I myself will take care of my people and enable them to lie down and rest.
16 Kii baadiyoobay baan raadin doonaa, oo kii baxsadayna waan soo celin doonaa, kii jabayna waan kabi doonaa, oo kii bukayna waan xoogayn doonaa, laakiinse ka buuran iyo ka xoogga leh waan wada baabbi'in doonaa, oo caddaalad baan ku daajin doonaa.
I will search for those who are lost and bring back the ones who have strayed away. I will bandage those who have been injured and strengthen those who are weak. But I will get rid of those who are fat and powerful. I will act fairly toward [the people who are like] [MET] my sheep. That is what I, Yahweh, promise.
17 Sayidka Rabbiga ahu wuxuu leeyahay, Adhigaygow, bal eega, anigu waxaan kala xukumi doonaa ido iyo riyo, iyo xataa wanan iyo orgiyoba.
And as for you who are like [MET] my sheep, this is what I, Yahweh the Lord, say: I will judge between each of you; and I will separate [those that are peaceful like] sheep from [those that are always trying to dominate others like] goats.
18 Ma wax yar bay idinla tahay inaad daaq wanaagsan daaqdaan, laakiinse aad daaqa idiin hadha cagaha kula tumataan? iyo inaad biyo saafi ah iska cabtaan, laakiinse aad inta idiin hadha cagaha ku qastaan?
It is bad that [RHQ] some of you keep the best pastures for yourselves. It is even worse that [RHQ] you trample the good grass with your feet. You yourselves drink the clear water [RHQ]. But with your feet you cause the other water to become muddy [RHQ].
19 Bal eega, adhigaygu wuxuu daaqaa wixii aad cagaha kula tumateen, oo wuxuu cabbaa wixii aad cagaha ku qasteen.
[It is as though] you [RHQ] are forcing my flock to eat the grass that you have trampled and to drink the water that you have caused to become muddy!
20 Sidaas daraaddeed Sayidka Rabbiga ahu wuxuu iyaga ku leeyahay, Aniga, xataa aniga qudhayda ayaa idaha buurbuuran iyo idaha caatada ah kala xukumi doona.
Therefore, this is what I, Yahweh the Lord, say to you: I myself will judge between [those of you who are like] [MET] the fat sheep and [those of you who are like] the thin sheep.
21 Maxaa yeelay, waxaad iyaga ku riixdaan dhinac iyo garab, oo kuwa cudurka qaba oo dhanna geesihiinnaad ku hardidaan ilaa aad kulligood kala firdhisaan.
[who are like] strong sheep, [it is as though] with your shoulders and buttocks you have shoved away [those who are like] thin sheep, and you have butted them with your horns, until you have chased them all away [from the good pastureland].
22 Sidaas daraaddeed adhigayga waan badbaadin doonaa, oo mar dambena wax la dhaco siima uu ahaan doono, oo waxaan kala xukumi doonaa ido iyo riyo.
But I will rescue my people, and they no longer will be (harassed/treated cruelly). I will judge between one person and another.
23 Oo waxaan iyaga u yeeli doonaa adhijir keliya oo iyaga jira, oo isaguna wuu daajin doonaa, oo kaasu waa addoonkayga Daa'uud. Isagaa daajin doona, oo adhijir buu u ahaan doonaa.
And I will appoint one leader [MET] for them, [someone who will be like] King David, who served me [very well]. That leader will take care of them and be like their shepherd.
24 Oo aniga Rabbiga ahu Ilaahooda baan ahaan doonaa, oo addoonkayga Daa'uudna wuxuu ahaan doonaa amiir dhexdooda jooga. Aniga Rabbiga ah ayaa saas ku hadlay.
I, Yahweh, will be their God, and [the one who is like] [MET] King David will be their king. [That will surely happen because] I, Yahweh, have said it.
25 Oo waxaan iyaga la dhigan doonaa axdi nabdeed, waxaanan ka dhigi doonaa in dugaag baas ay dalka ka dhex baabba'aan. Cidladay ammaan ku degganaan doonaan, oo kaynta dhexdeedana way iska seexan doonaan.
I will make a peace agreement with the people of Israel. In this agreement I will promise to get rid of all the wild animals in Israel, in order that my people may live safely, even in the desert and in the forests.
26 Oo iyaga iyo meelaha buurtayda ku wareegsanba barako baan ka dhigi doonaa, oo roobkana xilligiisaan u soo di'in doonaa, oo waxaa jiri doona tiixo barakee.
I will bless them, and I will bless the places close to my sacred hill. I will bless them by sending them rain showers at the right season; they will be showers to bless them.
27 Dhirta duurku midhay dhali doontaa, oo dhulkuna wax badan buu soo bixin doonaa, oo iyaguna ammaan bay dalkooda ku dhex joogi doonaan, oo markaan xadhkaha harqoodkooda kala gooyo, oo aan gacanta kuwii iyaga addoonsan jiray ka soo samatabbixiyo, waxay ogaan doonaan inaan anigu Rabbiga ahay.
The fruit trees will produce fruit and the ground will produce crops. And my people will live safely in their land. When I rescue them from people who caused them to be slaves [MET, DOU], they will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].
28 Oo iyagu mar dambe wax la dhaco quruumaha uma ay ahaan doonaan, oo dugaagga dalku ma ay cuni doonaan, laakiinse ammaan bay ku degganaan doonaan, oo ciduna innaba kama cabsiin doonto.
[Soldiers from] other nations will no longer take away their valuable possessions, and wild animals will no longer attack them. They will live safely, and no one will cause them to be afraid.
29 Oo waxaan iyaga u soo bixin doonaa geed caan ah, oo mar dambena dalka dhexdiisa abaar uguma ay baabbi'i doonaan, oo kol dambe ceebtii quruumaha ma ay sidan doonaan.
I will cause their land to be famous/well-known for its good crops. There will no longer be famines in the land, and people in other nations will no longer ridicule them.
30 Oo Sayidka Rabbiga ahu wuxuu leeyahay, Waxay markaas ogaan doonaan in anigoo Rabbiga Ilaahooda ah aan iyaga la jiro, iyo in iyagoo reer binu Israa'iil ah ay dadkaygii yihiin.
Then they will know that I, Yahweh their God, am helping them, and they will know that they, the Israeli people, are my people.
31 Oo Sayidka Rabbiga ahu wuxuu leeyahay, Idahaygiiyow, idihii daaqsintaydow, waxaad tihiin binu-aadmi, oo aniguna waxaan ahay Ilaahiinna.
[It will be as though] [MET] my people are my sheep whom I will take care of, and I will be their God. That is what I, Yahweh the Lord, declare.’”
