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 that year], almost six years after we Israeli people had been (exiled/forced to go to Babylon), I was sitting in my house. The elders of Judah were sitting in front of me. Suddenly the power [MTY] of Yahweh the Lord came on me.
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.
[in a vision] I saw someone who resembled a man. Below his waist, [his body] was like fire, and above his waist [his body] was glowing like very hot 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 grabbed me by the hair of my head. The Spirit lifted me up high above the earth, and in visions God took me [from Babylon] to Jerusalem. He took me [to the temple], to the north gate, to the place where there was an idol that caused Yahweh to be very disgusted and furious.
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.
And there in front of me was the brilliant light that indicated the presence of the God whom the Israeli [people previously worshiped. It was] like the vision that I had seen alongside the Kebar River/Canal.
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.
Yahweh said to me, “You human, look toward the north!” So I looked, and I saw in the entrance of the gate near the altar that idol that caused Yahweh to be disgusted and furious.
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.
He said to me, “You human, do you see what those Israeli people [MTY] are doing? They are doing detestable things here, things that will cause me to abandon my temple. But you will see things that are even more detestable.”
7 Oo haddana wuxuu i geeyey albaabkii barxadda, oo markaan wax fiiriyey waxaan arkay god derbiga ku dhex yaal.
Then he brought me to the entrance of the courtyard. I looked and saw a hole in the wall.
8 Markaasuu igu yidhi, Wiilka Aadamow, bal haddana derbiga qod, oo markaan derbigii qoday waxaan arkay albaab.
He said to me, “You human, dig through the wall here.” So I dug through the wall, and I saw a doorway inside.
9 Oo isna wuxuu igu yidhi, Sii gal, oo bal fiiri waxyaalaha karaahiyada iyo sharka ah oo ay halkan ku samaynayaan.
He said to me, “Go in and see the wicked and detestable things that they are doing there!”
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 in through the doorway and looked, and I saw, all over the [of a big room, drawings of] all kinds of creatures that scurry across the ground and [other] detestable animals, and drawings of all the idols that the people of [were worshiping].
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.
In front of them stood 70 elders of Israel. Jaazaniah, the son of Shaphan, was standing among them. Each of them was holding a pan in which incense was burning, and fragrant smoke of the burning incense was rising up.
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.
Yahweh said to me, “You human, look at [RHQ] what the Israeli elders are doing here in the darkness, each of them standing in front of the shrine of his own idol! They are saying, ‘Yahweh does not see us; Yahweh has deserted this country.’”
13 Oo weliba wuxuu igu sii yidhi, Bal haddana waxaad arki doontaa waxyaalo kale oo karaahiyo ah oo kuwan ka sii weyn.
He also said, “But you will see things that are even more detestable!”
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 entrance at the north gate of the temple. I saw women sitting there, mourning for [the death of the god of the people of Babylonia], 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.
He said to me, “You human, you see this [RHQ], but you will see things that are more detestable than this!”
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.
Then he took me into the courtyard outside the temple. There at the entrance of the temple, between the porch and the altar, were about 25 men. Their backs were toward the temple and their faces were toward the east, and they were bowing down to [worship] the sun [as it rose] 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.
He said to me, “You human, you see [RHQ] what they are doing. [Do you think that] it is not important that these men of Judah are doing these detestable things here? [But they are doing other terrible things]. They are acting violently throughout their country, and continually causing me to be angry. Look at them! They are insulting me by their actions [IDM]!
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.
So I will show them that I am very angry. I will not pity them or act mercifully toward them. And even if they shout to me [to help them], I will not pay attention to them.”
