Hoosheeca 9
1 Dadka Israa'iilow, farxad ha ku rayraynina sida dadyowga, waayo, waxaad ka tagteen Ilaahiinnii sida naag ninkeeda ka dhillowday, oo waxaad aad u jeclaateen inaad caashaq lacag ku kiraysataan goob kasta oo hadhuudh.
[You people of] Israel, do not shout joyfully [during your festivals] like [people of other] nations do! [I say that] because you have (not been faithful to/abandoned) me, your God. At every place where the people thresh grain you have [presented gifts to your idols like men] pay money to prostitutes.
2 Goobta hadhuudhka lagu tumo iyo macsarada khamriguba iyaga ma ay quudin doonaan, oo khamriga cusubuna wuu gabi doonaa.
[But soon] there will not be enough grain [MTY, PRS] and wine [MTY, PRS] for you.
3 Iyagu ma ay degganaan doonaan Rabbiga dalkiisa, laakiinse reer Efrayim Masar bay ku noqon doonaan, oo cunto wasakh ah ayay ku dhex cuni doonaan dalka Ashuur.
And you people will not remain in the land that I, Yahweh, [gave to your ancestors]. You will be [captured and] taken to [Assyria], [where you will become slaves like your ancestors were] in Egypt; and in Assyria you will be forced to eat food that Yahweh has forbidden you to eat.
4 Iyagu Rabbiga uma ay shubi doonaan qurbaanno khamri ah, oo isagana kama ay farxin doonaan. Allabaryadoodu waxay iyaga ula mid noqon doonaan sida cuntada kuwa baroorta. In alla intii wax ka cuntaana way wada nijaasoobi doonaan, waayo, cuntadoodu waxay ahaan doontaa mid ay nafsadoodu u hamuunta, oo sooma ay geli doonto guriga Rabbiga.
You Israelis will not [be able to] give wine offerings to him, or bring sacrifices to him. None of your other sacrifices will please him; they will be unacceptable to him, like [SIM] food that is touched by people at funerals, and everyone who eats that food will become unacceptable to him. They will be permitted to eat that food themselves, but they will not [be permitted to] bring it into the temple.
5 Bal maxaad samayn doontaan maalinta shirka weyn, iyo maalinta iidda Rabbigaba?
At that time you will not [RHQ] be able to celebrate the feasts and sacred festivals.
6 Waayo, bal eeg, iyagu waxay ka tageen halligaad, laakiinse Masar baa iyaga soo urursan doonta, oo waxaa iyaga aasi doonta magaalada Mof. Waxyaalahooda wacan oo lacagta ahna waxaa qaadan doona maraboob, oo teendhooyinkoodana waxaa ka soo dhex bixi doonta qodxan.
And even if you escape and are not killed [by the Assyrians], you will be captured by [the army of] Egypt, and you will [die and] be buried in Memphis, [the capital of Egypt]. Briers will [grow up and] cover your treasures of silver, and thorns will grow in your [ruined] tents/houses.
7 Maalmihii ciqaabiddu waa yimaadeen, oo maalmihii abaalmarintu waa yimaadeen. Dadka Israa'iilna way ogaan doonaan. Nebigu waa nacas, ninkii ruuxa lahuna waa waalan yahay, waana xumaantaada badatay aawadeed, iyo cadownimada badatay aawadeed.
It is now the time for Yahweh to punish you, to pay you back for all the sins that you have committed. You people will [soon] know that. You have [committed] very many sins, and you very much hate Yahweh. You consider that the prophets are foolish, and you think that those who proclaim messages from him are crazy.
8 Reer Efrayim wuxuu ahaa waardiye Ilaahay la jira, laakiinse nebigii jidadkiisa oo dhan waxaa loo dhigay dabinkii shimbirrodabadka, oo gurigii Ilaahiisna cadownimo baa ku jirta.
My God appointed [me and the other] prophets to be [like] [MET] watchmen [to warn] you people of Israel, but everywhere that we go, [it is as though] people set traps for us and people are hostile [to us, even] in the temple of our God.
9 Iyagu aad bay isu kharribeen sidii wakhtigii Gibecaah. Isagaa soo xusuusan doona xumaantooda oo wuxuu soo ciqaabi doonaa dembiyadooda.
The sins that the Israeli people have committed are as awful as [what the men of] Gibeah did long ago; [so] God will not forget the wicked things that they have done; he will punish the Israelis for [all] those sins.
10 Waxaan gartay in dadka Israa'iil ay la mid ahaayeen canab cidlada ku dhex yaal, oo waxaan arkay in awowayaashiin ahaayeen sidii berdaha xilliga hore bislaada, laakiinse iyagu waxay yimaadeen Bacal Fecoor, oo waxay gooni isugu sooceen waxaas ceebta miidhan ah, oo waxay u karaahiyoobeen sidii wixii ay jeclaayeen oo kale.
[Yahweh says], “When I first started [to do things to help] Israel, it seemed to me as though [SIM] I had found grapes in the desert. Your ancestors were [delightful], like [SIM] the first figs that grow on fig trees [each year]. But when they came to Peor [Mountain], they worshiped that disgusting idol Baal, and they became as disgusting as the idol that they loved.
11 Oo weliba reer Efrayimna sharaftoodu waxay u haadi doontaa sidii shimbir oo kale, oo innaba dhalasho, iyo uuraysi, iyo wallacid ma jiri doonaan.
The things that cause Israel to be great will disappear like [SIM] a bird that flies away; [most of their women will] not become pregnant [DOU] or give birth to children.
12 In kastoo ay carruurtooda koriyaan haddana waan gablamin doonaa si aan ninna u hadhin aawadeed, oo weliba iyagaa iska hoogay markii aan ka tago!
Even if their children are born and start to grow up, I will cause all of them to die [while they are still young]. Terrible things will happen to them when I abandon them!
13 Sidii aan Turos u arkay ayaa reer Efrayim meel wacan lagu beeray, laakiinse reer Efrayim wuxuu carruurtiisa u soo bixin doonaa kan wax laaya.
I have seen Israel become beautiful and prosperous like Tyre [city] was [before it was destroyed], but now the people of Israel will [be forced to] take their children to be slaughtered [by their enemies].”
14 Rabbiyow, iyaga wax sii. Maxaad siin doontaa iyaga? Waxaad siisaa maxal dhiciya iyo naaso gudhay.
Yahweh, [I do not know] [RHQ] what I should ask for my people. So I ask that you do this one thing: Cause the women who are pregnant to have miscarriages and unable [to nurse their babies].
15 Xumaantoodii oo dhammu waxay ku jirtaa Gilgaal, waayo, iyaga halkaas baan ku necbaaday. Haddaba xumaanta falimahooda aawadeed ayaan iyaga uga eryi doonaa gurigayga. Mar dambe ma aan jeclaan doono, waayo, amiirradooda oo dhammu waa caasiyiin.
[Yahweh says], “Because of all the wicked things that my people did at Gilgal, that is where I started to hate them. [And now], because of [all] the sinful things that they have done, I will expel them from my country. I will not love them any longer; all their leaders rebel [against me].
16 Reer Efrayim wax baa lagu dhuftay, xididkoodiina waa qallalay, oo innaba midho ma ay dhali doonaan! Oo xataa in kastoo ay wax dhalaan, haddana waan wada layn doonaa midhaha ay jecel yihiin oo maxalkooda.
Israel is like [MET] a grapevine that is dried up; [like a vine] [MET] whose roots are withered and that produces no fruit. Even if the [women of Israel] give birth to [more] children, I will cause those children, whom they love, to die.
17 Ilaahay waa xoori doonaa, maxaa yeelay, codkiisii ma ay dhegaysan, oo waxay quruumaha dhexdooda ku ahaan doonaan kuwa warwareega.
The people of Israel have not obeyed me, their God, so I will reject them. [As a result], they will wander among the [other] nations, [searching for a place to live].”
