Ishacyaah 17
1 Kanu waa warka culus ee Dimishaq ku saabsan. Bal eega, Dimishaq inay magaalo sii ahaato waa laga joojiyey, oo waxay ahaan doontaa tuulmooyin burbur ah.
[I received] this message [from Yahweh] about Damascus [the capital of Syria]: “Listen carefully! Damascus will no longer be a city; it will be [only] a heap of ruins!
2 Magaalooyinkii Carooceer waa laga wada tegey. Waxay noqon doonaan meelo adhyuhu daaqaan oo ay iska fadhiistaan, oo ciduna ma didin doonto.
The towns near Aroer [city] will be abandoned. Flocks [of sheep] will [eat grass in the streets and] lie down there, and there will be no one to chase them away.
3 Rabbiga ciidammadu wuxuu leeyahay, Qalcaddu reer Efrayim way ka baabbi'i doontaa, oo boqortooyaduna Dimishaq way ka dhammaan doontaa, oo kuwa Suuriya ka hadhi doonaana waxay noqon doonaan sida sharaftii dadkii Israa'iil.
The cities in Israel will not have walls around them [to protect them]. The power of the kingdom of Damascus will be ended, and the few people who will remain in Damascus will be disgraced like the people in Israel were disgraced.” [That is what] the Commander of the armies of angels says.
4 Oo maalintaas sharafta reer Yacquub way daciifi doontaa, oo baruurta jidhkiisuna way macaluuli doontaa.
“At that time, Israel will become insignificant. It will be [like] [MET] a fat person who has become very thin.
5 Oo waxay noqon doontaa sida marka beeragooyuhu balka soo urursho oo gacantiisuna ay sabuullada soo gurato, oo waxay noqon doontaa sida mid sabuullo laga tegey ka guranaya dooxada Refaa'iim.
The entire land will be like [SIM] a field where the harvesters have cut all the grain; there will be nothing left, like [SIM] the fields in the Rephaim Valley after all the crops have been harvested.
6 Rabbiga ah Ilaaha reer binu Israa'iil wuxuu leeyahay, Weli canab xaabxaab ah ayaa ku hadhi doona, oo sida geed saytuun ah oo la ruxay ayaa laba ama saddex xabbadood ku hadhi doonaan laanta geedka ugu korraysa dhaladeeda, laamaha ugu shisheeya oo midhaha badanna waxaa ku hadhi doona afar ama shan xabbadood.
Only a few of the Israeli people will remain [MET], like [SIM] the few olives that remain on the top of a tree after the workers have caused all the other olives to fall [to the ground]. [There will be only] two or three olives in the top branches, [or] four or five olives on the other branches.” [That is what] the Commander of the armies of angels says.
7 Oo maalintaas nin baa wuxuu fiirin doonaa Abuurihiisii, oo indhihiisuna waxay u jeedsan doonaan Kan Quduuska ah oo reer binu Israa'iil.
[Then], at that time, [you] people [of Israel] will (turn for help to/look up to) God, your creator, the Holy One of Israel.
8 Oo isagu ma uu fiirin doono meelaha allabariga ee uu gacmihiisa ku sameeyey, umana uu jeedsan doono wixii ay farihiisu sameeyeen, kuwaasoo ah geedaha Asheeraah, iyo sanamyada qorraxda.
You will no [longer] seek to get help from your idols or worship the idols that you have made with your own hands [DOU]. You will never again bow down in front of the poles [where you worship the goddess] Asherah. You will never again worship at the shrines [that you have built for burning incense].
9 Oo maalintaas magaalooyinkiisa xoogga badanu waxay noqon doonaan sida meelaha ay reer Xiwi iyo reer Amor kaga tageen reer binu Israa'iil hortood, oo waxaa jiri doona baabba'.
The largest cities in Israel will be abandoned, like the land that the Hiv and Amor people-groups abandoned (OR, like the forests that the [Canaan people-group] abandoned) when the Israelis [attacked them long ago]. No one will live there.
10 Maxaa yeelay, waxaad illowday Ilaaha badbaadadaada, oo kamana aad fikirin Dhagaxa xoogga kuu ah, sidaas daraaddeed waxaad beertaa geedo wacan, waxaadna tallaashaa geedo qalaad oo canab ah.
[That will happen] because you have stopped worshiping God who is [like] [MET] a huge rock under which you can be safe. You have forgotten that he is the one who can hide/protect you. So, [now] you plant very nice grapevines and [even] plant very expensive ones that come from other countries.
11 Maalintii aad beerto ayaad xeraysaa, subaxdiina waxaad ubax ka keentaa abuurkaaga, laakiinse beergoosadku wuxuu carari doonaa maalin murug iyo caloolxumo badan.
[But] even if they sprout leaves on the day that you plant them, and even if they produce blossoms on that same morning, at harvest time, there will not be any grapes for you to pick. All that you will get is a lot of agony/misery.
12 Dadka faraha badanu aad bay u buuqayaan, oo waxay u hugmaan sida hugunka badda! Quruumuhu aad bay u bulxamayaan, oo waxay u guuxaan sidii guuxa biyo xoog badan!
Listen! [The armies of] many nations will roar like the sea roars. It will sound like the noise of crashing waves.
13 Quruumuhu waxay u guuxi doonaan sida guuxa biyo faro badan, laakiinse wuu canaanan doonaa, oo meel fog bay u carari doonaan, oo waxaa loo eryi doonaa sida xaabka buuraha ee dabayshu kaxayso iyo sida boodh cirwareen ah.
But even though their loud roaring will be like the sound of crashing waves, when Yahweh rebukes them, they will run far away. They will flee like [SIM] chaff on the hills scatters when the wind [blows], like tumbleweeds scatter when a windstorm blows.
14 Bal eega, makhribkii cabsi baa jirta, oo aroortii ka horna ma jiraan. Taasu waa waxa ku dhaca kuwa na booba iyo qaybtii kuwa na dhaca.
And, even though you people of Israel will be terrified, in the morning [your enemies] will all be gone/dead. That is what will happen to those who invade our land and [then] steal our possessions.
