Ishacyaah 13
1 Kanu waa warka culus ee Baabuloon ku saabsan oo uu Ishacyaah ina Aamoos arkay.
[I], Isaiah, the son of Amoz, received [from Yahweh] this message about Babylon [city]:
2 Buurta dheer calan ka taaga, codkana iyaga kor ugu qaada, oo u gacanhaadiya inay irdaha kuwa gobta ah galaan.
Lift up a flag on the bare [top of a] hill, to signal [that an army should come to attack Babylon]. Shout to them and wave your hand [to signal to them] that they should march through the city gates into the palaces of the proud [rulers of Babylon]!
3 Waxaan amray kuwaygii gooni la iigu dhigay, oo weliba waxaan cadhadayda aawadeed ugu yeedhay kuwayga xoogga badan, waxaana weeye kuwa sarrayntayda ku reyreeya.
[Yahweh says], “I have commanded those soldiers to do that; I have summoned the warriors whom I have chosen to punish [the people of Babylon] because of my being very angry with them, and those soldiers will be very proud [when they do that].”
4 Waxaa la maqlayaa bulxanka dadka badan oo buuraha ka yeedhaya sida dad fara badan! Waxaana la maqlayaa buuqa boqortooyooyinkii quruumaha isa soo wada urursaday! Rabbiga ciidammadu wuxuu soo ururinayaa ciidanka dagaalka.
Listen to the noise on the mountains, which is the noise of a huge army marching! It is the noise made by people of many people-groups shouting. The Commander of the armies of angels has summoned this army to gather together.
5 Waxay ka imanayaan waddan fog iyo samada darafka ugu shisheeya inay dalka oo dhan baabbi'iyaan, waana Rabbiga iyo hubkii dhirifkiisaba.
They come from countries that are far away, from the most remote places [IDM] on the earth. They are [like] [SIM] weapons that Yahweh will use [to punish the people with whom] he is very angry, and to destroy the entire country [of Babylonia].
6 Baroorta, waayo, maalintii Rabbigu way dhow dahay, oo waxay u iman doontaa sida baabbi'in xagga Ilaaha Qaadirka ah ka timid.
[You people of Babylon] will scream because you will be terrified, because it will be the time that Yahweh [has determined/chosen], the time for the all-powerful [God] to destroy [your city].
7 Haddaba sidaas daraaddeed gacmo oo dhammu way taag gabi doonaan, oo nin kastaba qalbigiisu wuu dhalaali doonaa.
All of your people will be very afraid [DOU], with the result that they will be unable even to lift their arms.
8 Wayna nixi doonaan, oo waxaa qaban doona xanuun iyo murug, oo waxay u xanuunsan doonaan sida naag foolanaysa. Oo midkoodba kan kaluu la yaabi doonaa, oo wejigooduna wuxuu noqon doonaa sida olol oo kale.
All of you will be terrified. You will have [PRS] severe pains like [SIM] a woman has when she is giving birth to a baby. You will look at each other helplessly, and it will show on your faces that you feel horror.
9 Bal eega, maalinta Rabbigu way imanaysaa iyadoo nac weyn oo ka buuxda cadho iyo xanaaq kulul si dhulka cidla looga dhigo oo dembilayaasha oo dhan dhexdiisa looga baabbi'iyo.
Listen to this: The day that Yahweh has appointed/chosen is near, the day that he will furiously and fiercely [punish you] because he is very angry [with you]. He will cause your land [of Babylonia] to be desolate/barren, and he will destroy [all] the sinners in it.
10 Waayo, xiddigaha samada iyo ururkooduba ma iftiimi doonaan. Qorraxduna way madoobaan doontaa markii ay soo baxdo, oo dayaxuna ma iftiimi doono.
[When that happens], none of the stars will shine. When the sun rises, it will be dark, and there will be no light from the moon [at night].
11 Oo dunida sharkeeda aawadiis ayaan u ciqaabi doonaa, oo kuwa sharka lehna xumaantooda aawadeed ayaan u ciqaabi doonaa, oo kuwa kibrana kibirkooda waan joojin doonaa, oo kuwa laga cabsadona madaxweynaantooda hoos baan u soo dejin doonaa.
[Yahweh says], “I will punish [everyone in] the world for the evil things that they do; I will punish the wicked people for the sins that they have committed. I will stop arrogant/proud people from being proud, and I will stop ruthless people from acting cruelly.
12 Waxaan dadka ka dhigi doonaa wax dhif ah oo ka qaalisan dahabka wanaagsan, oo binu-aadmigana waxaan ka dhigi doonaa wax aan badnayn sida dahabka saafiga ah ee Oofir.
[And because I will cause most people to die], people will be harder to find than gold, harder to find than fine gold from Ophir [in Arabia].
13 Haddaba sidaas daraaddeed maalinta Rabbiga xanaaqiisa kululu iman doono ayaan samooyinka gariirin doonaa, dhulkuna meeshiisuu kaga dhaqaaqi doonaa cadhada Rabbiga ciidammada.
I will shake the sky, and the earth will [also] move out of its place. That will happen when [I], the Commander of the armies of angels, punish [wicked people], when [I show them that] I am extremely angry [with them].
14 Oo sida deero la eryay iyo sida ido aan ciduna soo ururin ayaa midkood kastaaba dadkiisa ku noqon doonaa, oo mid kastaaba dalkiisa u carari doonaa.
And all [the foreigners in Babylon will run around] like [SIM] deer that are being hunted, like sheep that do not have a shepherd. They will try to find other people from their countries, and [then] they will escape [from Babylon] and return to their own countries.
15 Mid kasta oo la helo waa la dooxi doonaa, oo mid kasta oo la qabto seef baa lagu dili doonaa.
Anyone who is captured [in Babylon] will be killed by [their enemies’] swords [DOU].
16 Oo dhallaankoodana dhulkaa lagu tuuri doonaa iyagoo arkaya, guryahoodana waa la dhici doonaa, naagahoodana waa la kufsan doonaa.
Their little children will be dashed to pieces on the rocks while [their parents] watch; [their enemies] will steal everything valuable from their houses and will rape their wives.
17 Bal eega, waxaan iyaga ku soo kicin doonaa reer Maaday oo aan innaba lacag ka fikirayn oo aan dahabkana ku farxin.
Look! I am going to incite the people of Media to attack Babylon. The [army of Media] will attack Babylon, even if they are offered [DOU] silver or gold [if they promise to not attack it].
18 Qaansooyinkoodu waxay baabbi'in doonaan barbaarrada, oo midhaha maxalkana innaba uma ay naxariisan doonaan, oo carruurtana uma ay tudhi doonaan.
[With] their arrows, the [soldiers of Media] will shoot the young men [of Babylon]; they will not [even] act mercifully [DOU] toward infants or children!”
19 Oo Baabuloon oo ah sharaftii boqortooyooyinka iyo quruxdii kibirka reer Kaldayiin waxay noqon doontaa sidii markii Ilaah Sodom iyo Gomora afgembiyey.
Babylon has been a very beautiful [MTY] city; [all] the people of Babylonia have been very proud of Babylon, [their capital city]; [but] God will destroy Babylon, like [SIM] he destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah.
20 Oo weligeed innaba lama degi doono oo tan iyo ab ka ab laguma dhex hoyan doono, oo Carabkuna halkaas teendho kama dhisan doono, oo adhijirraduna halkaas adhigooda ma daajin doonaan.
No one will ever live in Babylon again. It will be deserted forever. (Nomads/People who travel from place to place to live) will refuse to set up their tents there; shepherds will not bring their flocks of sheep to rest there.
21 Laakiinse halkaas waxaa jiifsan doona dugaagga lamadegaanka, oo guryahoodana waxaa ka buuxsami doona guumeyso, oo waxaa ku hoyan doona gorayo, waxaana ku dhex cayaari doona xayawaan dhogor dheer leh.
Instead, animals that live in the desert will be there; jackals/wolves will live in [the ruins of] the houses. Owls (OR, Ostriches) will live in [the ruins], and wild goats will romp/jump around [there].
22 Oo yeey baana guryahooda cidloobay qaylo isugu jawaabi doona, oo daarahooda qurqurxoonna dawacooyin baa ka dhex qaylin doona, oo wakhtigeediina kol dhow buu iman doonaa, oo cimrigeedana lama sii dheerayn doono.
Hyenas will howl in the [ruined] towers, and jackals/wolves will make their dens in [the ruins of] the palaces that [were previously] very beautiful. The time when [Babylon will be destroyed] is very near; Babylon will not exist much longer.
