Cesraa 9
1 Oo markii waxyaalahaas la sameeyey dabadeed waxaa ii yimid amiirradii oo igu yidhi, Dadka reer binu Israa'iil, iyo wadaaddadii iyo reer Laawi, gooni isagama ay soocin dadyowgii dalka degganaa, ee waxay sameeyaan waxyaalahooda karaahiyada ah ee ay reer Kancaan, iyo reer Xeed, iyo reer Feris, iyo reer Yebuus, iyo reer Cammoon, iyo reer Moo'aab, iyo Masriyiintii, iyo reer Amor sameeyaan.
Now, when these things were ended, the rulers drew near unto me, saying, The people of Israel and the priests and the Levites have not kept themselves separate from the peoples of the lands, —in view of their abominations-even of the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Jebusites, the Ammonites, the Moabites, the Egyptians, and the Amorites;
2 Waayo, iyaga iyo wiilashoodiiba waxay guursadeen gabdhahoodii, oo sidaasuu farcankii quduuska ahaa ugu qasmay dadyowgii dalka degganaa; oo weliba xadgudubkaas waxaa madax u ahaa amiirrada iyo taliyayaasha.
for they have taken of their daughters, for themselves and for their sons, so that the holy seed have intermingled themselves among the peoples of the lands, —and, the hand of the rulers and the deputies, hath, in this unfaithfulness, been, foremost.
3 Oo kolkaan waxaas maqlay ayaan dharkaygii iyo go'aygii jeexjeexay, oo timihii ku yiil madaxayga iyo gadhkaygana waan iska rifay, oo waxaan fadhiistay anigoo wareersan.
When I heard this thing, I rent my garment, and my robe, —and tore out of the hair of my head and my beard, and sat stunned.
4 Markaasaa waxaa igu soo shiray in alla intii ka cabsan jirtay erayga Ilaaha reer binu Israa'iil, dadkii maxaabiista ka soo noqday xadgudubkoodii aawadiis; oo anna halkaasaan iska fadhiyey tan iyo qurbaankii makhribka anigoo wareersan.
Then, unto me, were gathered, all who trembled at the words of the God of Israel, concerning the unfaithfulness of them who had been exiled, —but, I, sat stunned, until the evening gift.
5 Oo markii qurbaankii makhribka la gaadhay ayaan ka kacay is-hoosaysiintaydii, iyadoo dharkaygii iyo go'aygiiba jeexjeexan yihiin, markaasaan jilbajoogsaday oo gacmaha u horsaday Rabbiga Ilaahayga ah;
And, at the evening gift, I arose from mine affliction, which had been accompanied by the rending of my garment and my robe, —and I bowed upon my knees, and spread forth my hands unto Yahweh my God;
6 kolkaasaan idhi, Ilaahayow, waan ka xishoonayaa oo waan ka yaxyaxayaa inaan wejigayga xaggaaga u soo jeedsho, waayo, Ilaahayow, xumaatooyinkayagii ayaa nagu batay, oo dembilahaanshahayagiina wuxuu kor ugu baxay samooyinka.
and said, O my God, I turn pale and am ashamed, to lift up, O my God, my face unto thee, —for, our iniquities, have multiplied above the head, and our guilt hath magnified itself unto the heavens.
7 Tan iyo waagii awowayaashayo iyo ilaa maantadan xujo badan baannu lahayn, oo xumaatooyinkayagii aawadood ayaa annaga iyo boqorradayadii iyo wadaaddadayadiiba loogu gacangeliyey boqorradii dalalka degganaa inay seef nala dhacaan, oo ay maxaabiis naga dhigtaan, oo ay na dhacaan, iyo inay na wareeriyaan, siday maantadan tahay.
Since the days of our fathers, we, have been in great guilt, until this day, —and, for our iniquities, have we been given up—we, our kings, our priests, —into the hand of the kings of the lands, by sword and by captivity and by spoiling and by a turning pale of face, as at this day.
8 Oo hadda intii wakhti yar ah ayaa Rabbiga Ilaahayaga ahu raalli naga noqday si qaar nooga hadhaan oo ay u baxsadaan, iyo si uu dhidib noogu siiyo meeshiisa quduuska ah, in Ilaahayagu indhahayaga iftiimiyo, oo uu wakhti yar nagu soo nooleeyo addoonnimadayada.
And, now, for a very little moment, hath come favour from Yahweh our God, in leaving to us a remnant to escape, and in giving to us a nail in his holy place, —that our God may enlighten our eyes, and give us a little reviving in our bondage.
9 Waayo, waxaannu nahay dad addoommo ah, laakiinse Ilaahayagu naguma dayrin addoonnimadayadii, illowse naxariis buu nagu siiyey boqorradii Faaris hortooda, inuu na nooleeyo aawadeed, si aannu u taagno guriga Ilaahayo, oo aannu u hagaajinno burburkiisii hore, iyo inuu derbi naga dhex siiyo Yahuudah iyo Yeruusaalemba.
For, bondmen, we are, but, in our bondage, hath our God not forsaken us, —but extended unto us lovingkindness before the kings of Persia, to give us a reviving, to set up on high the house of our God, to raise up the desolations thereof, and to give us a wall in Judah and in Jerusalem.
10 Haddaba Ilaahayagow, bal maxaan nidhaahnaa tan dabadeed? Waayo, waxaannu ka tagnay amarradaadii,
But, now, what can we say, O our God, after this? for we have forsaken thy commandments,
11 aad noogu soo dhiibtay nebiyadii addoommadaada ahaa, oo aad ku tidhi, Dalka aad inaad hantidaan ugu socotaan waa dal aan nadiif ahayn, oo wuxuu ku nijaasoobay dadyowga deggan nijaastooda, iyo karaahiyadooda, iyo wasakhnimadooda dhammaan ka buuxsantay gees ilaa ka gees.
which thou didst command by the hand of thy servants the prophets, saying, As for the land which, ye, are entering to possess, an impure land, it is, with the impurity of the peoples of the lands, —with their abominations, which have filled it from one end to the other, with their uncleanness.
12 Haddaba gabdhihiinna wiilashooda ha u guurinina, wiilashiinnana gabdhahooda ha u guurinina, weligiinna ha doonina nabaddooda ama barwaaqadooda, si aad xoog u yeelataan, oo aad u cuntaan dalka wixiisa wanaagsan, oo aad carruurtiinnana dhaxal ahaan ugaga tagtaan weligiin.
Now, therefore, your daughters, do not ye give to their sons, and, their daughters, do not ye take for your sons, neither shall ye seek their prosperity nor their pleasure unto times age-abiding, —to the end ye may become strong, and may eat the good of the land, and may suffer your children to possess it, unto times age-abiding.
13 Oo tanu waxay noogu soo degtay falimahayagii sharka ahaa aawadood, iyo xujadayadii weynayd aawadeed, maxaa yeelay, Ilaahayagiiyow, waxaad nagu taqsiirtay wax ka yar intii xumaatooyinkayagu mudnaayeen, oo weliba waxaad na siisay dad caynkan ah oo noo hadha,
And, after all that hath come upon us, for our wicked doings, and for our great guilt—For, thou, O our God, hast spared us, punishing us less than our iniquities deserved, and hast given us a deliverance such as this,
14 haddaba waxaas oo dhan dabadeed ma mar kalaannu amarradaada jebinnaa, oo aannu la xididnaa dadyowga karaahiyadan sameeya? Sow noo cadhoon maysid jeeraad na wada baabbi'isid oo aadan innaba naga reebin dad hadha iyo mid naga baxsada toona?
should we again break thy commandments and join ourselves by affinity of marriage with the peoples of these abominations, —wouldst thou not be angry with us, unto a full end, that there should be neither remainder nor deliverance?
15 Rabbiyow, Ilaaha reer binu Israa'iilow, xaq baad tahay, waayo, waxaannu nahay dad hadhay oo baxsaday, sida ay maantadan tahay; bal eeg, waxaannu kula hor joognaa xujadayada, waayo, taas aawadeed ninna hortaada ma istaagi karo.
O Yahweh, God of Israel, righteous thou art, for we have had left us a deliverance as at this day, —here we are, before thee, in our guilty deeds, for there is no standing before thee, because of this thing!
