Hoosheeca 8
1 Buunka afkaaga saar. Cadowgu sidii gorgor buu u imanayaa guriga Rabbiga, maxaa yeelay, dadku axdigaygay jebiyeen, oo sharcigaygiina way ku xadgudbeen.
[Yahweh said to me], “Blow [MTY] your trumpet [to warn the people]! My people have rejected the agreement that I made with them, and they have rebelled against [obeying] my laws. Therefore, [their enemies] are swooping down on my people’s country like [SIM] an eagle.
2 Way ii qayshan doonaan, iyagoo leh, Ilaahayow, annagoo dadka Israa'iil ahu waannu ku naqaan.
My Israeli people cry out to me, ‘Our God, we know that you are our God!’
3 Dadka Israa'iil way iska xooreen wixii wanaagsanaa, oo iyaga cadowgu waa eryan doonaa.
But because the Israeli people have rejected what is good, their enemies will pursue them.
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.
The Israel people appointed [their last three] kings, but they did not ask me if I agreed to [what they were doing]. They chose their own leaders without asking if I would approve of them. They used their own silver and gold to make for themselves idols, and doing that led them to be destroyed.
5 Samaariyey, weyshaadii wuu diiday isagoo leh, Cadhadaydii aad bay ugu kululaatay iyaga. Ilaa goormayan karayn inay daahir noqdaan?
You people of Samaria, throw away your [idol that resembles a] calf! I am extremely angry with you people! How long [RHQ] will you [do things that cause] you to be unacceptable to me?
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.
[Someone in] Israel made that idol for you; [but I am] God and it is not. So that idol of a calf in Samaria must be smashed to pieces.
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.
[The foolish thing that the people of Israel have done is like] [MET] trying to plant wind; but what they harvest will be like [MET] a whirlwind. So the grain that they planted will have no heads [on the stalks], and as a result [there will be no grain] from which to make flour. And if it did produce good grain, foreigners would [come and] steal it.
8 Dadka Israa'iil waa la liqay, oo haatan waxay quruumaha u dhex joogaan sidii weel aan la doonayn.
[The people of] Israel will be defeated [MET] [by their enemies]; they will be [scattered] among other nations and become worthless.
9 Waayo, iyagu waxay u keceen dalka Ashuur, oo waa sidii dameer banjoog ah oo keligiis jooga. Reer Efrayim waxay soo kiraysteen kuwa caashaqa.
Like [MET] donkeys that are looking for mates, they have requested [help] from Assyria; they paid money to [the leaders of Assyria] in order to [persuade those leaders to] protect them.
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 although they have agreed to pay money each year to [the leaders of] those countries, I will soon gather them together [to punish them]. The great King [of Assyria] will cause them to suffer greatly.
11 Reer Efrayim waxay badiyeen meelo allabari, wayna ku dembaabeen, oo sidaas daraaddeed meelaha allabarigu waxay iyaga u noqdeen wax iyaga dembaajiya.
Although [the people of] Israel built many altars to present offerings [to their idols] to take away [their guilt for] sinning, those altars have become places where they commit [more] sins.
12 In kastoo aan iyaga u qoraa kumanyaalka amar ee sharcigayga, haddana waxaa lagu tiriyaa sida wax qalaad oo kale.
I wrote many laws for them, but they disregarded them, saying that [they did not have to obey them because] they were different from laws that they had known previously.
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.
They offer sacrifices to me, and they eat [some of] the meat of those sacrifices, [which is what I permitted them to do]. But I, Yahweh, am not pleased with those sacrifices. I remember the evil things that they have done, and I will punish them for the sins that they have committed: I will force them to [go to other countries] [and become slaves like they were] [MET] in 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.
[The people of] Israel have abandoned/forgotten me, the one who created their [nation]; they have built palaces, and [the people of] Judah have built walls around many towns. But I will send a fire that will destroy all their cities and their fortresses.”
