Hoosheeca 8
1 Buunka afkaaga saar. Cadowgu sidii gorgor buu u imanayaa guriga Rabbiga, maxaa yeelay, dadku axdigaygay jebiyeen, oo sharcigaygiina way ku xadgudbeen.
Set the cornet to thy mouth. [Let the enemy come] like the eagle against the house of the Lord: because they have transgressed my covenant, and against my law have they trespassed.
2 Way ii qayshan doonaan, iyagoo leh, Ilaahayow, annagoo dadka Israa'iil ahu waannu ku naqaan.
To me will they then cry, My God, we, Israel, know thee.
3 Dadka Israa'iil way iska xooreen wixii wanaagsanaa, oo iyaga cadowgu waa eryan doonaa.
[But] Israel did reject the good; so let the enemy pursue him.
4 Boqorray boqradeen, laakiinse iyagu ma aha kuwa aan amray, waxayna doorteen amiirro laakiinse anigu ma aan aqoonsan. Lacagtoodii iyo dahabkoodiiba ayay sanamyo ka samaysteen, oo sidaas darteed ayaa loo baabbi'in doonaa.
They set up kings, but not my advice: they chose princes and I knew it not: of their silver and their gold have they made themselves idols so that they will be cut off.
5 Samaariyey, weyshaadii wuu diiday isagoo leh, Cadhadaydii aad bay ugu kululaatay iyaga. Ilaa goormayan karayn inay daahir noqdaan?
Thy calf, O Samaria, hath caused thy rejection; my anger is kindled against them: how long will it be that they cannot cleanse themselves?
6 Waayo, xataa dadka Israa'iil ayaa kanu ka yimid, oo nin saanac ahu baa sameeyey, oo Ilaah ma aha. Hubaal weysha Samaariya waa la burburin doonaa.
For whom Israel did also that [idol] spring; an artisan made it, and no God is it: so then shall it become broken in splinters— that calf of Samaria.
7 Waayo, waxay beertaan dabaysha, oo dabaysha cirwareenta ah ayay soo goosan doonaan. Hadhuudh taagan ma leh, baalkuna midho ma dhali doono, oo hadduu dhalona, shisheeyaa cuni doona.
For the wind do they sow, and the whirlwind shall they reap: [their seed] bringeth no standing corn; the plant yieldeth no meal; but should it yield it, strangers would swallow it up.
8 Dadka Israa'iil waa la liqay, oo haatan waxay quruumaha u dhex joogaan sidii weel aan la doonayn.
Swallowed up is Israel: now are they among the nations as a vessel without any value.
9 Waayo, iyagu waxay u keceen dalka Ashuur, oo waa sidii dameer banjoog ah oo keligiis jooga. Reer Efrayim waxay soo kiraysteen kuwa caashaqa.
For they are needs gone up to Assyria, they who like a wild ass should dwell alone: Ephraim spendeth lovers' gifts.
10 In kastoo ay quruumaha dhexdooda dad ka soo kiraystaan, haatan waan soo ururin doonaa iyaga, oo waxay bilaabayaan inay la yaraadaan sabab ka kacday culaabtii uu boqorkii amiirradu iyaga saaray.
But even though they should spend gifts among the nations, now will I gather them: and they shall be humbled a little through the burden of the king of princes.
11 Reer Efrayim waxay badiyeen meelo allabari, wayna ku dembaabeen, oo sidaas daraaddeed meelaha allabarigu waxay iyaga u noqdeen wax iyaga dembaajiya.
Because Ephraim hath multiplied altars to sin, the altars have been unto him the means of sinning.
12 In kastoo aan iyaga u qoraa kumanyaalka amar ee sharcigayga, haddana waxaa lagu tiriyaa sida wax qalaad oo kale.
I ever wrote down for him the great things of my law; but as a strange thing are they accounted.
13 Oo weliba allabaryadii qurbaannadayda ahaana waxay ku allabaryaan hilib, wayna iska cunaan, laakiinse Rabbigu iyaga ma aqbalo. Haatan wuu soo xusuusan doonaa xumaantoodii, oo dembiyadoodiina wuu ciqaabi doonaa, oo Masar bay ku noqon doonaan.
My sacrificial offerings they slay as common flesh that they may eat it; the Lord accepteth them not in favor: now will he remember their iniquity, and visit their sins; they shall indeed return to Egypt.
14 Waayo, dadka Israa'iil Abuurahoodii way illoobeen, oo waxay dhisteen daaro waaweyn, dadka Yahuudahna magaalooyin deyr leh aad bay u badsadeen, laakiinse anigu magaalooyinkooda ayaan dab ku soo dul dayn doonaa, oo wuxuu wada gubi doonaa daarahooda waaweyn oo dhan.
For Israel forgot his Maker, and built palaces; and Judah multiplied fortified cities; but I will send a fire among his cities, and it shall devour their fine edifices.
