Xabaquuq 2
1 Meeshayda aan wax ka dhawro ayaan istaagi doonaa, qalcaddana waan isa saari doonaa, waanan u fiirin doonaa bal waxa uu igula hadli doono, iyo waxa aan uga jawaabi doono cabashadayda.
[After I said that, I said to myself, ] “I will climb up into my watchtower, and stand there at my guard post. I will wait there to find out what Yahweh will say, what he will reply to what I have complained about.”
2 Oo Rabbigu wuu ii jawaabay, oo wuxuu igu yidhi, Waxa lagu tusay qor, oo looxyo ku caddee, si kii akhristaaba u ordo.
Then Yahweh replied to me, “Write plainly on tablets [what I am revealing to you in] this vision, [and then read it to a messenger] in order that he can run with it [to tell it to] other people.
3 Waayo, wixii lagu tusay waa weli, oo waxay iman doonaan wakhtigii la yidhi, wayna u degdegaan ugudambaysta, oo innaba been ma sheegi doonaan. In kastoo ay raagaan waa inaad sugtaa, maxaa yeelay, sida xaqiiqada ah way noqon doonaan, oo innaba ma raagi doonaan.
In this vision [I will be talking about things that will happen] in the future. Now is not the time when those things will happen, but they certainly will happen, and when they occur, they will occur quickly, and they will not be delayed. Now you [want those things to happen immediately, but] they are not happening. But wait patiently for them [to happen]!
4 Bal eega, kan madaxa weynaaday naftiisii way kibirtay, oo ma toosna, laakiinse kii xaq ahu rumaysadkiisa buu ku noolaan doonaa.
Think about the proud [people of Babylonia]! They are certainly not doing what is righteous. But people who are righteous will live because they faithfully [do what I want them to do].
5 Haah, oo weliba khamrigu wax buu khiyaanaa, oo nin isla weynu gurigiisa kuma xasillo. Wuxuu xiisihiisa u ballaadhiyaa sida She'ool oo kale, oo isagu waa sida geerida oo kale oo innaba lama dherjin karo, laakiinse wuxuu soo urursadaa quruumaha oo dhan, oo wuxuu isu geeystaa dadyowga oo dhan. (Sheol h7585)
If people [trust in their wealth], they will deceive themselves, and proud people are never able to rest. [It is as though] the greedy people [of Babylonia open their mouths] as wide as the place where dead people are, and they never have enough, like [the place where] dead people go never has enough dead people [PRS]. The [armies of Babylonia] conquer many nations for themselves, and capture all their people. (Sheol h7585)
6 Kuwan oo dhammu sow isaga kuma halqabsan doonaan? Oo sow maahmaahyo kuma quudhsan doonaan? Waxay odhan doonaan, Waxaa iska hoogay kan urursada wax uusan isagu lahayn! Bal ilaa goorma? Waxaa iska hoogay kan rahaamado isku rara!
But [soon] all those [whom they have captured] will ridicule [the soldiers from Babylonia]! They will make fun of them, saying, ‘Terrible things will happen to you who have stolen things [from other countries]! You got many things by forcing people to give them to you. [But you certainly will not keep those things] for a long time [RHQ]!’
7 Kuwii ku qaniini lahaa sow haddiiba ma kici doonaan? Oo kuwii ku dhibi lahaa sow ma toosi doonaan? Oo adna booli baad iyaga u noqon doontaa.
Suddenly those whom you (oppressed/treated cruelly) will cause you to tremble, and they will take away all the things that you have stolen from them.
8 Quruumo badan baad dhacday, haddaba sidaas daraaddeed dadyowga intooda hadhay oo dhammu aday ku dhici doonaan, taasuna waa dhiiggii dadka daraaddiis, iyo dulmigii lagu sameeyey dalka iyo magaalada iyo inta dhex deggan oo dhanba.
You stole things from the people of many nations. You murdered [MTY] people of many people-groups, and you destroyed their land and their cities. So those who are still alive will steal valuable things from you.
9 Waxaa iska hoogay kii faa'iido shar ah reerkiisa u soo urursada si uu buulkiisa uga dhisto meel sare oo uu gacanta sharka uga samatabbaxo!
Terrible things will happen to you [people of Babylonia] who build big houses with money that you got by forcing others to give it to you. You are proud and you think that your houses will be safe because you have built them in places where you can easily defend them.
10 Dadyowga badan oo aad baabbi'isay daraaddood waxaad reerkaagii ugu arrimisay ceeb, oo waxaad ku dembaabtay naftaadii.
But because you have destroyed others, you have caused your family [MTY] to be shamed/disgraced, and you yourselves will be killed.
11 Waayo, dhagax baa ka qaylin doona derbiga dhexdiisa, oo loox alwaaxda ku dhex jira ayaa u jawaabi doona.
[It is as though] the stones in the walls [of your houses] cry out to accuse you, and [it is as though] the beams [in your ceilings] also say the same things.
12 Waxaa iska hoogay kii magaalo dhiig ku dhisa, oo magaalo xumaan ku adkeeya!
Terrible things will happen to you [people of Babylonia] who kill people [MTY] in order to build cities, cities that you build by using money that you have gotten by committing crimes.
13 Bal eeg in dadku ay dabka aawadiis u hawshoodaan, oo quruumuhuna ay waxtarla'aan isu daaliyaan sow ma aha mid Rabbiga ciidammada xaggiisa ka timid?
But the Commander of the armies of angels has [RHQ] declared that everything that is built by people who do things like that [will be destroyed by] fire; they will have worked hard uselessly.
14 Waayo, sida biyuhu badda u daboolaan oo kale ayaa dhulka waxaa ka buuxsami doona aqoonta sharafta Rabbiga.
But [in contrast], like [SIM] the oceans are filled with water, the earth will be filled with [people who] know that Yahweh is very great.
15 Waxaa iska hoogay kaaga deriskiisa khamri cabsiiya, oo cadho ugu shuba, oo weliba u sakhraamiya si uu cawradooda u fiirsada aawadeed!
Terrible things will happen to you [people of Babylonia] who cause people who live in nearby countries to become drunk. You force them to drink a lot of wine from wineskins [until they are drunk and then they walk around] naked, in order that you can see that.
16 Adigu intaad sharaf heli lahayd waxaa ka buuxsantay ceeb, oo weliba adiguna khamri cab, oo waxaad noqotaa sida mid buuryaqab ah. Rabbiga gacantiisa midig koobka ku jira adiguu kugu soo rogman doonaa, oo sharaftaadana waxaa ku dhici doonta ceeb xun.
But you are the ones who [soon] will be disgraced instead of being honored. [It will be as though you are forced to] drink [a lot of wine] in order that you will also stagger [around, drunk]. You will drink the wine [that symbolizes that Yahweh will punish you], and he will cause you to be disgraced instead of being greatly respected [any more].
17 Waayo, waxaa ku dabooli doona dulmigii Lubnaan lagu sameeyey, iyo halligaaddii ku dhacday xayawaankii iyaga ka cabsiiyey, taasuna waa dhiiggii dadka daraaddiis, iyo dulmigii lagu sameeyey dalka iyo magaalada iyo inta dhex deggan oo dhanba.
You did violent [PRS] things to [the people in] Lebanon, and you killed the wild animals [there], but you will be punished severely for doing that. You have killed [MTY] many people and you have destroyed their lands and their cities.
18 Bal muxuu taraa sanamka xardhan, oo muxuu kii sameeyey u xardhay? Oo muxuu taraa sanamka la shubay oo ah macallinka beenta bara, oo kii sameeyey muxuu haddana isugu halleeyaa, waayo, waa sanamyo carrab la'.
[You people of Babylonia need to know that your] idols are completely [RHQ] useless, because it is people who made them. Statues that have been carved or made in a mold deceive you. Those who trust in idols are trusting in things that they themselves created, things that cannot speak!
19 Waxaa iska hoogay kii qoriga ku yidhaahda, Toos! oo dhagax carrab la' ku yidhaahda, Sara joogso! Kanu miyuu wax bari doonaa? Bal eega, waxaa lagu dahaadhay dahab iyo lacag, laakiinse innaba neefu kuma jirto.
Terrible things will happen to you who say to lifeless idols that are made of wood, ‘Wake up!’ Idols certainly cannot [RHQ] tell you what you should do; they [look nice/beautiful because] they are covered with silver and gold, but they are not alive.
20 Laakiinse Rabbigu waa ku jiraa macbudkiisa quduuska ah, haddaba inta dhulka joogta oo dhammu ha ku hor aamuseen.
But Yahweh is in his holy temple; everyone on the earth should be silent in his presence.”
