Hoosheeca 11
1 Markii Israa'iil ilmo yar ahaa waan jeclaan jiray, oo wiilkaygii Israa'iil waxaan uga yeedhay dalka Masar.
When Israel was a child, I loved him, and out of Egypt I called My son.
2 Sidii loogu yeedhay ayay iyagii uga fogaadeen. Waxay allabari u bixiyeen Bacaliim, oo foox bay u shideen sanamyo xardhan.
But the more I called Israel, the farther they departed from Me. They sacrificed to the Baals and burned incense to carved images.
3 Oo weliba reer Efrayim waan socod baray, oo gacmahaygaan ku xambaaray, laakiinse iyagu ma ay ogayn inaan bogsiiyey iyaga.
It was I who taught Ephraim to walk, taking them in My arms, but they never realized that it was I who healed them.
4 Waxaan iyaga ku soo jiiday dad xadhkihiis iyo jacayl xidhmihiis, oo waxaan u ahaa sidii kuwa daamankooda harqoodka ka dejiya, oo waxaan hortooda dhigay cunto.
I led them with cords of kindness, with ropes of love; I lifted the yoke from their necks and bent down to feed them.
5 Iyagu kuma noqon doonaan dalkii Masar, laakiinse waxaa boqor u noqon doona kii reer Ashuur, maxaa yeelay, iyagu way diideen inay noqdaan.
Will they not return to the land of Egypt and be ruled by Assyria because they refused to repent?
6 Oo seef baa waxay ku dhici doontaa magaalooyinkooda, oo waxay baabbi'in doontaa qataarradooda, oo way wada dhammayn doontaa iyaga, waana taladooda daraaddeed.
A sword will flash through their cities; it will destroy the bars of their gates and consume them in their own plans.
7 Dadkaygii waxay ku tashadeen inay dib iga noqdaan. In kastoo iyaga loogu yeedhay Kan ugu sarreeya, innaba midnaba isaga ma sarraysiin doono.
My people are bent on turning from Me. Though they call to the Most High, He will by no means exalt them.
8 Reer Efrayimow, sidee baan idiin sii dayn karaa? Dadka Israa'iilow, sidee baan idiin gacangelin karaa? Sidee baan idiinka dhigi karaa sidii Admaah? Oo sidee baan idiinka dhigi karaa sidii Seboyim? Qalbigaygii wuu igu dhex rogmadaa oo naxariis buu la dhaqaaqaa.
How could I give you up, O Ephraim? How could I surrender you, O Israel? How could I make you like Admah? How could I treat you like Zeboiim? My heart is turned within Me; My compassion is stirred!
9 Anigu soo dayn maayo kulaylka cadhadayda, oo u soo noqon maayo inaan reer Efrayim baabbi'iyo, waayo, waxaan ahay Ilaah, oo qof aadmi ah ma ihi. Anigu dhexdiinna waxaan ku ahay Kan Quduuska ah, oo magaalada cadho la geli maayo.
I will not execute the full fury of My anger; I will not turn back to destroy Ephraim. For I am God and not man— the Holy One among you— and I will not come in wrath.
10 Iyagu waxay daba geli doonaan Rabbiga oo sidii libaax buu u ciyi doonaa, Markuu ciyo ilmihiisu xagga galbeed bay ka iman doonaan iyagoo gariiraya.
They will walk after the LORD; He will roar like a lion. When He roars, His children will come trembling from the west.
11 Waxay iyagoo gariiraya u iman doonaan sidii shimbir Masar ka soo baxday, iyo sidii qoolley ka soo baxday dalka Ashuur, oo anigu waxaan iyaga ka dhigi doonaa inay guryahooda iska degganaadaan, ayaa Rabbigu leeyahay.
They will come trembling like birds from Egypt and like doves from the land of Assyria. Then I will settle them in their homes, declares the LORD.
12 Reer Efrayim waxay igu hareereeyaan been oo waxaa dadka Israa'iil igu hareereeyaan khiyaano, laakiinse dadka Yahuudah weli Ilaah bay wax la xukumaan, oo Kan Quduuska ah ayay daacad u yihiin.
Ephraim surrounds Me with lies, the house of Israel with deceit; but Judah still walks with God and is faithful to the Holy One.
