< Yexesqeel 8 >
1 Oo sannaddii lixaad, bisheedii lixaad, maalinteedii shanaad intii aan gurigaygii dhex fadhiyeyey, oo ay odayaashii dalka Yahuudah i hor fadhiyeyeen ayaa gacantii Sayidka Rabbiga ahu igu soo kor degtay.
On the fifth day of the sixth month of the sixth year, I was sitting in my house with the elders of Judah and the power of the Lord God came over me there.
2 Markaasaa intaan wax fiirinayay waxaa ii muuqday wax muuqashadiisu u ekayd dab oo kale, oo qaarkiisa dambe wuxuu u ekaa dab, oo qaarkiisa horena wuxuu u ekaa dhuxul cadaatay oo dhalaalaysa.
I looked around and saw a being that looked like a man. From what seemed to be his waist downwards, he looked like fire. From what seemed to his waist upwards, he looked like brightly glowing metal.
3 Oo isna wax gacan u eg buu igu soo taagay, oo wuxuu igu dhegay timahayga, oo ruuxii ayaa dhulka iyo samada dhexdooda kor iigu qaaday, oo waxyaalihii Ilaah i tusay wuxuu iigu keenay Yeruusaalem, iyo iridda gudaha ku taal albaabkeeda xagga woqooyi u sii jeeda, oo halkaas waxaa yiil kursigii sanamkii hinaasada, kaasoo hinaasada kiciya.
He reached out what seemed to be a hand and picked me up by my hair. The Spirit took me up into the sky, and in the vision God was giving me he carried me to Jerusalem, to the entrance of the north gate of the Temple's inner courtyard, where the offensive idol that made God angry had been placed.
4 Oo bal eeg, ammaantii Ilaaha reer binu Israa'iil ayaa halkaas joogtay, oo waxay u ekayd sidii muuqashadii aan bannaanka ku arkay oo kale.
I saw the glory of the God of Israel there, just like I had in the vision I'd seen in the valley.
5 Oo markaasuu igu yidhi, Wiilka Aadamow, bal haatan indhaha xagga woqooyi ku taag. Markaasaan indhaha kor ugu taagay jidkii xagga woqooyi, oo waxaan xaggii woqooyi iriddii meeshii allabariga ku arkay sanamkan hinaasada ee iridda ka taagan.
“Son of man,” he told me, “now look to the north.” So I looked to the north, and in the entrance to the north of the Altar Gate I saw this idol that angered God.
6 Oo wuxuu kaloo igu sii yidhi, Wiilka Aadamow, ma u jeedda waxa ay samaynayaan, xataa waxyaalaha waaweyn oo karaahiyada ah ee ay reer binu Israa'iil halkan ku sameeyaan si aan meeshayda quduuska ah uga sii fogaado? Laakiinse bal haddana waxaad arki doontaa waxyaalo karaahiyo ah oo tan ka sii weyn.
“Son of man,” he said to me, “can you see what they are doing? Look at the disgusting sins the people of Israel are committing that are driving me far away from my sanctuary? But you're going to see even more disgusting sins than these!”
7 Oo haddana wuxuu i geeyey albaabkii barxadda, oo markaan wax fiiriyey waxaan arkay god derbiga ku dhex yaal.
He took me to the entrance to the Temple courtyard. As I looked around, I saw a hole in the wall.
8 Markaasuu igu yidhi, Wiilka Aadamow, bal haddana derbiga qod, oo markaan derbigii qoday waxaan arkay albaab.
“Son of man,” he told me, “pull the wall apart.” So I pulled the wall apart and found a doorway.
9 Oo isna wuxuu igu yidhi, Sii gal, oo bal fiiri waxyaalaha karaahiyada iyo sharka ah oo ay halkan ku samaynayaan.
He told me, “Go through the wall and see the evil and disgusting things they are doing in here.”
10 Sidaas daraaddeed waan galay oo waxaan arkay cayn kasta oo wax gurguurta ah, iyo xayawaan karaahiyo ah, iyo sanamyadii reer binu Israa'iil oo dhan oo lagu taswiiray derbiga hareerihiisa oo dhan.
So I went through the wall and saw carved images covering the walls, representing all kinds of reptiles and disgusting animals, as well as all the idols worshiped by the people of Israel.
11 Oo waxaa iyagii halkaas ku hor taagnaa toddobaatan nin oo odayaashii reer binu Israa'iil ka mid ahaa, oo waxaa dhexdooda taagnaa Ya'asanyaah ina Shaafaan, oo ninkood kastaaba wuxuu gacanta ku haystay idankiisii, oo waxaa kor uga baxayay caraftii qiiqii fooxa.
Seventy elders of the house of Israel were standing in front of them, including Jaazaniah son of Shaphan. They all were holding censers, producing a sweet-smelling cloud of incense that rose above them.
12 Markaasuu igu yidhi, Wiilka Aadamow, ma aragtay waxa odayaashii reer binu Israa'iil ay gudcurka ku sameeyaan, oo ninkood kastaaba uu qolladihiisa taswiirta ku sameeyo? Waayo, waxay isyidhaahdaan, Rabbigu inooma jeedo, waayo, Rabbigu dhulkuu ka tegey.
“Son of man,” he said to me, “can you see what the elders of the people of Israel are doing here in the dark, with each one worshiping in the shrine room of his own idol? This is what they're saying: ‘The Lord can't see what we're doing; besides the Lord has abandoned our country!’”
13 Oo weliba wuxuu igu sii yidhi, Bal haddana waxaad arki doontaa waxyaalo kale oo karaahiyo ah oo kuwan ka sii weyn.
The Lord went on to tell me, “You're going to see them doing even more disgusting things than these!”
14 Markaasuu i geeyey albaabkii iriddii gurigii Rabbiga oo xagga woqooyi u sii jeeday, oo waxaan halkaas ku arkay naagaha fadhiya oo sanamkii Tammuus u ooyaya.
Then he took me to the north entrance of the Lord's Temple. I saw women sitting there, weeping for the god Tammuz.
15 Markaasuu igu yidhi, Waxaas ma aragtay, Wiilka Aadamow? Bal haddana waxaad arki doontaa waxyaalo kale oo karaahiyo ah oo kuwan ka sii weyn.
“Son of man,” he said to me, “have you seen this? But you're going to see even more disgusting things than these!”
16 Oo haddana wuxuu i geeyey barxaddii hoose oo gurigii Rabbiga, oo bal eeg, iriddii macbudkii Rabbiga, meel u dhaxaysa balbalada iyo meeshii allabariga waxaa taagnaa rag shan iyo labaatan ku dhow iyagoo dhabarka macbudkii Rabbiga u sii jeediyey, wejigana xagga bari u sii jeediyey, oo waxay caabudayeen qorraxda bari jirta.
He took me to the inner courtyard of the Lord's Temple and right there at the entrance to the Temple, between the porch and the altar, were around twenty-five men. They had their backs to the Temple, and were facing towards the east. They were bowing in worship of the sun rising in the east.
17 Markaasuu igu yidhi, Waxan ma aragtay, Wiilka Aadamow? Tanu ma wax dadka Yahuudah u fudud baa inay sameeyaan waxyaalaha karaahiyada ah ee ay halkan ku samaynayaan? Waayo, dalkii dulmi bay ka buuxiyeen oo mar kalay u noqdeen inay iga cadhaysiiyaan, oo bal eeg, laantii ayay sanka u dhoweeyeen.
“Son of man,” he said to me, “have you seen this? The people of Judah aren't content just to do these disgusting things. They also commit violent crimes across the country and keep on making me angry. Look at how they're deliberately insulting me!
18 Oo sidaas daraaddeed weli cadhaan ku shaqayn doonaa, indhahaygu uma tudhi doonaan, oo innaba uma aan nixi doono, oo in kastoo ay dhegahaygu qaylo weyn ugu qayliyaanna innaba ma aan maqli doono.
As a result I will respond in anger. I won't treat them kindly; I won't be merciful to them. Even though they shout loudly for my help, I won't listen to them.”
