< Hoosheeca 12 >
1 Reer Efrayim waxay quutaan dabayl oo waxay daba galaan dabaysha bari. Had iyo goorba been iyo baabba' bay badiyaan, oo waxay axdi la dhigtaan dadka dalka Ashuur, saliidna Masar bay u qaadaan.
Ephraim feeds on wind, and chases the east wind. He continually multiplies lies and desolation. They make a covenant with Assyria, and oil is carried into Egypt.
2 Oo weliba Rabbigu dacwad buu la leeyahay dadka Yahuudah, oo wuxuu reer Yacquub u ciqaabi doonaa si waafaqsan jidadkooda, oo wuxuu u abaalmarin doonaa si waafaqsan falimahooda.
Jehovah also has a controversy with Judah, and will punish Jacob according to his ways and according to his deeds he will repay him.
3 Yacquub markuu uurka ku jiray walaalkiis buu cedhibta ku dhegay, oo markuu nin noqdayna Ilaah buu la dagaallamay.
In the womb he took his brother by the heel; and in his manhood he contended with God.
4 Haah, oo wuxuu la dagaallamay malaa'igtii, wuuna ka adkaaday, wuuna ooyay oo baryay. Wuxuu isagii ka helay Beytel, oo halkaasuu nagula hadlay.
Indeed, he struggled with the angel, and prevailed; he wept, and made petition to him. He found him at Bethel, and there he spoke with him,
5 Rabbigu waa Ilaaha ciidammada. Rabbigu waa magiciisa lagu xusuusto.
even Jehovah, the God of hosts; Jehovah is his name of renown.
6 Haddaba sidaas daraaddeed Ilaahaaga u soo jeeso, oo naxariista iyo garsooridda xaji, oo had iyo goorna Ilaahaaga sug.
Therefore turn to your God. Keep kindness and justice, and wait continually for your God.
7 Dadkaygu waa baayacmushtari, oo waxaa gacanta ugu jira kafadihii khiyaanada, waxay jecel yihiin inay wax dulmaan.
A merchant has dishonest scales in his hand. He loves to defraud.
8 Oo reer Efrayim wuxuu yidhi, Sida xaqiiqada ah taajir baan noqday, oo maal baan helay, oo innaba hawlahayga oo dhan lagama heli doono xumaan dembi ah.
Ephraim said, "Surely I have become rich, I have found myself wealth. In all my wealth they won't find in me any iniquity that is sin."
9 Laakiinse anigu waxaan ahay Rabbiga Ilaahiinna ah oo idinka soo bixiyey dalkii Masar, oo weliba waxaan ka dhigi doonaa inaad mar kale teendhooyin degganaataan sidii wakhtigii iidda.
"But I Jehovah your God brought you up from the land of Egypt. I will yet again make you dwell in tents, as in the days of the solemn feast.
10 Oo weliba waxaan la hadlay nebiyadii, oo waxaan badiyey waxyaalo aan tusay, oo nebiyadana waxaan u soo dhiibay masaalooyin.
I have also spoken to the prophets, and I have multiplied visions; and by the ministry of the prophets I have used parables.
11 Reer Gilecaad waa xumaan miidhan oo iyagu dhammaantood waa wax aan waxtar lahayn. Waxay Gilgaal ku allabaryaan dibiyo, oo weliba meelahooda allabarigu waa sida tuulmooyin ku dhex yaal jeexjeexyada beerta oo kale.
If Gilead is wicked, surely they are worthless. In Gilgal they sacrifice bulls. Indeed, their altars are like heaps in the furrows of the field.
12 Yacquub wuxuu ku dhex cararay beertii Aram, oo Israa'iil inuu naag helo buu u shaqeeyey oo ido u ilaaliyey.
Jacob fled into the country of Aram, and Israel served to get a wife, and for a wife he tended flocks and herds.
13 Oo Rabbigu reer binu Israa'iil nebi buu kaga soo bixiyey dalkii Masar, oo nebi baa iyagii lagu ilaashay.
By a prophet Jehovah brought Israel up out of Egypt, and by a prophet he was preserved.
14 Reer Efrayim si qadhaadh bay Rabbiga uga xanaajiyeen, haddaba dhiiggoodu korkooduu ku hadhi doonaa, oo ceebtoodana Sayidkoodu waa ku soo celin doonaa.
Ephraim has bitterly provoked anger. Therefore his blood will be left on him, and his Lord will repay his contempt.
