Hoosheeca 2
1 Waxaad wiilasha walaalihiinna ah ku tidhaahdaan, Cammii, gabdhaha walaalihiinna ahna waxaad ku tidhaahdaan, Ruxaamaah.
[At that time, ] you will say to your fellow-Israeli men, “[You are] God’s people,” and [you will say] to your fellow-Israeli women, “You are ones whom God loves.”
2 Hooyadiin barya, ee barya, waayo, iyadu ma aha afadaydii, oo aniguna ma ahi ninkeedii. Oo wejigeeda ha ka fogayso dhillanimadeeda, oo sinadeedana ha ka fujiso naasaheeda dhexdooda,
[Yahweh also said to me], “I want you to accuse the Israeli people. [It is as though] [MET] this nation is your mother, but this nation is [no longer as though it is] [MET] my wife, and it is [no longer as though] [MET] I am its husband. Tell the Israeli people that they must stop [acting like] a prostitute [by worshiping other gods]; they must stop showing by their behavior that they (are unfaithful to/have abandoned) [me] [MET].
3 si aanan iyada u qaawin, oo aanan uga dhigin sidii maalintii ay dhalatay, oo aanan uga dhigin sidii meel cidla ah, oo aanan uga dhigin sidii dhul engegan, oo aanan harraad ugu dilin.
If they do not do that, I will not give them [food and] clothes [as a husband should give to his wife]; I will take away those things, and I will cause their nation to become [as deserted] as it was on the day that I [brought their ancestors out of Egypt and caused them to become a nation] [MET]. I will cause their country to be like [SIM] a desert; there will be no rain to water the ground [MET].
4 Haah, oo carruurteeda uma aan naxariisan doono, waayo, waa dhillo carruurteed.
I will not pity the people, because they have [abandoned me] as [MET] prostitutes abandon their husbands.
5 Waayo, hooyadood waa dhillowday, oo tii iyaga uuraysatay waxay samaysay wax ceeb weyn ah, waayo, waxay tidhi, Anigu waan daba gelayaa kuwa i caashaqa ee i siiya kibistayda iyo biyahayga, iyo suufkayga, iyo waxayga linenka ah, iyo saliiddayda, iyo cabniinkayga.
Their parents are like prostitutes [MET]: they have been unfaithful [to me], and they have done [very] disgraceful things. They said, ‘We will run to [our idols/gods] who love us; [they are the ones] who give us food and water and wool and linen and [olive] oil, and [wine to] drink.’
6 Haddaba bal eeg, anigu jidkaaga waxaan ku awdi doonaa qodxan, oo deyr baan iyada hor dhigi doonaa, si ayan dhabbaheedii u helin.
So [it will be as though] [MET] I am blocking their road with thornbushes, and putting put a wall around them so that they do not know which way to go.
7 Oo iyana waxay daba geli doontaa kuwa iyada caashaqi jiray, laakiinse ma ay gaadhi doonto. Way doondooni doontaa, laakiinse innaba ma ay heli doonto. Kolkaasay odhan doontaa, Waxaan ku noqon doonaa ninkaygii hore, waayo, markaasaa iiga roonayd siday haatan tahay.
They will run to their idols/gods that [they think] love them, but they will not find them. They will search for their false gods, but they will not find them. Then they will say, ‘[Perhaps] we should return to [Yahweh], whom we worshiped previously [MET], because things were better for us then than they are now.’
8 Waayo, iyadu ma ay ogayn inaan anigu siiyey hadhuudhka, iyo khamriga, iyo saliidda, iyo inaan iyada ku badiyey lacag iyo dahab ay iyagu Bacal ugu isticmaali jireen.
But they do not realize that I, [Yahweh], am the one who gave them grain and wine and [olive] oil; I am the one who gave them silver and gold which they used to worship Baal.
9 Haddaba sidaas daraaddeed anigu hadhuudhkayga wakhtigiisa waan ceshan doonaa, oo khamrigaygana xilligiisa waan ceshan doonaa, oo suufkayga iyo waxayga linenka ah ee cawradeeda dedi lahaana waan ka qaadi doonaa.
Therefore I will return and take my grain and grapes from them when they are ripe. I will take from them the wool and linen that I gave to them [to make their clothes] [MTY].
10 Oo haatan waxaan soo bandhigi doonaa ceebteeda iyadoo ay u jeedaan kuwa iyada caashaqi jiray, oo ninna iyada kama samatabbixin doono gacantayda.
I will show those false gods/idols that what my people are doing is disgusting [MET], and no one will be able to hinder me from [punishing them].
11 Oo weliba farxaddeeda oo dhanna waan wada joojin doonaa, tan ciidaheeda, iyo bilaheeda cusub, iyo sabtiyadeeda, iyo shirarkeedaba.
I will cause their religious celebrations to cease, the festivals that they celebrate every year and at every new moon and on their (Sabbath days/weekly days of rest). I will cause all their religious celebrations to cease.
12 Oo waxaan baabbi'in doonaa geedaheedii canabka ahaa iyo dhirteedii berdaha ahayd oo ay iyadu tidhi, Kuwanu waa kiradaydii ay kuwii i caashaqi jiray i siiyeen. Oo waxaan iyaga ka dhigi doonaa duud, waxaana daaqi doona xayawaanka duurka.
I will destroy [all] their grapevines and fig trees, which they said were what their [idols/gods] who loved them paid them for worshiping those idols. I will cause those places to become a desert, and wild animals will eat the fruit [that remains].
13 Rabbigu wuxuu leeyahay, Waxaan iyada u taqsiiri doonaa maalmihii ay fooxa Bacaliim u shidday, oo ay isku sharraxday hilqadaheedii iyo dahabkeedii, oo ay daba gashay kuwii iyada caashaqi jiray, anigase ay i illowday.
I will punish my people for [all] the times that they burned incense to [honor] the idols of Baal. They decorated themselves with rings and jewelry, and they went to worship those [false gods/idols] that [they thought] [IRO] loved them, but they abandoned/forgot me! [That is what I], Yahweh, say.
14 Haddaba bal eeg, qalbigeedaan soo jiidi doonaa, oo cidladaan iyada keeni doonaa, oo si qabow baan ula hadli doonaa.
But listen! [Some day] I will persuade my people [to worship me again]; I will lead them [out] into the desert and speak kindly to them [there].
15 Oo waxaan iyada halkaas ka siin doonaa beeraheedii canabka ahaa, oo dooxada Caakoorna waxaan uga dhigi doonaa albaab rajo, oo iyana halkaasay ku jawaabi doontaa, sidii waagii ay dhallintayarayd oo kale, iyo sidii maalintii ay dalkii Masar ka soo baxday.
I will give their vineyards [back] to them, and I will cause Achor Valley, [which means ‘valley of trouble'], to become a valley where they will confidently expect [me to do good things for them]. They will (respond to/want to please) me there like they did long ago, when I freed them from [being slaves in] Egypt.
16 Oo waxay maalintaas noqon doontaa inaad iigu yeedhid, Ninkaygiiyow, oo aadan mar dambe iigu yeedhin, Bacalkaygiiyow, ayaa Rabbigu leeyahay.
At that time, they will say to me, ‘[It is as though] [MET] you are our husband.’ They will not say that I am their [master, like they considered that] Baal [was].
17 Waayo, afkeeda waan ka fogayn doonaa magacyada Bacaliimta, iyana mar dambe magacooda lama soo qaadi doono.
I will not allow them to speak [MTY] the names of Baal; they will never use those names again.
18 Oo maalintaas waxaan iyaga aawadood axdi ula dhigi doonaa xayawaanka duurka, iyo haadda samada, iyo waxa dhulka gurguurtaba, oo dalka dhexdiisa waan ka baabbi'in doonaa qaansada iyo seefta iyo dagaalkaba, oo waxaan ka dhigi doonaa inay si ammaan ah u jiifsadaan.
At that time [it will be as though] I will make an agreement with [all] the wild animals and birds, and [even with] the little animals that scurry across the ground, so that they will never harm my people [again]. And I will remove from their nation all the weapons [for fighting] battles, [like] swords and bows [and arrows]. The result will be that my people will live peacefully and safely, and will not be afraid.
19 Oo waan ku guursan doonaa inaad weligaaba tayda ahaatid. Haah, oo waxaan kugu guursan doonaa xaqnimo, iyo caddaalad, iyo raxmad, iyo naxariis.
I will cause them to be [as though they are] [MET] my bride forever. I will be righteous and fair/just; I will faithfully love them and be kind to them.
20 Oo xataa waxaan kugu guursan doonaa daacadnimo, oo adna Rabbigaad ogaan doontaa.
I will not abandon them, and they will realize [that I] Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do.]
21 Oo waxay maalintaas noqon doontaa inaan jawaabo, ayaa Rabbigu leeyahay. Waxaan u jawaabi doonaa samooyinka, oo iyana waxay u jawaabi doonaan dhulka.
At that time, [when they request me to do things for them], [I will do those things]. When they request clouds and rain to fall on their land, I will speak to the clouds, and rain will fall on the earth,
22 Oo dhulkuna wuxuu u jawaabi doonaa hadhuudhka, iyo khamriga, iyo saliidda, oo iyaguna waxay u jawaabi doonaan Yesreceel.
and grain will grow, and the vineyards and the olive trees will grow in Jezreel [Valley].
23 Oo anna dhulkaan iyada ku beeran doonaa, oo waan u naxariisan doonaa tii aan naxariista heli jirin, oo kuwo aan dadkayga ahaan jirin ayaan ku odhan doonaa, Idinku dadkaygaad tihiin, oo iyana waxay igu odhan doonaan, Adna waxaad tahay Ilaahayo.
[At that time], I will take care of the Israeli people [like a farmer plants and takes care of his crops] [MET]. I will love those people that I previously said were ones I did not love, and I previously said, ‘You are not my people,’ and [then] they will say to me, ‘You are our God.’”
