Hoosheeca 11
1 Markii Israa'iil ilmo yar ahaa waan jeclaan jiray, oo wiilkaygii Israa'iil waxaan uga yeedhay dalka Masar.
I loved Israel when he was a child. He's my son I called out of Egypt.
2 Sidii loogu yeedhay ayay iyagii uga fogaadeen. Waxay allabari u bixiyeen Bacaliim, oo foox bay u shideen sanamyo xardhan.
As they called them, so they went from them: they sacrificed to the Baals and offered incense to idols.
3 Oo weliba reer Efrayim waan socod baray, oo gacmahaygaan ku xambaaray, laakiinse iyagu ma ay ogayn inaan bogsiiyey iyaga.
I myself taught Ephraim to walk, taking them by the hand, but they didn't realize I was the one 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 along with cords of kindness, with ropes of love. I was the one who eased their burden 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.
However, because my people refuse to return to me, they will not return to the land of Egypt but Assyria shall be their king.
6 Oo seef baa waxay ku dhici doontaa magaalooyinkooda, oo waxay baabbi'in doontaa qataarradooda, oo way wada dhammayn doontaa iyaga, waana taladooda daraaddeed.
War will sweep through their cities, putting an end to their boasting and destroying their 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 hanging on to their apostasy from me. They call him “god on high” but he will not raise them up at all.
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 can I give you up, Ephraim? How can I let you go, Israel? How can I make you like Admah? How can I treat you like Zeboiim? My heart is breaking; I am full of compassion.
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 fierceness of my anger, I will not destroy Ephraim again. For I am God, not a human being. I am the Holy One living among you. I will not enter your cities.
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.
The people will follow me, the Lord. He will roar like a lion. When he roars like a lion then 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.
Like a flock of frightened birds they will come from Egypt, like doves they will come from Assyria, and I will bring them back home, 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 and Israel with deceit, and Judah still wanders with some deity, faithful to some “Holy One.”
