Ishacyaah 21
1 Kanu waa warka culus ee ku saabsan cidlada badda ku ag taal. Sida cirwareentu koonfur uga timaado oo kale ayuu cidlada oo ah dal cabsi badan uga yimaadaa.
A message about the desert by the sea. Like storm winds passing through the Negev, something is coming from the desert, from a land of terror—
2 Waxaa lay tusay muujin culus. Khaa'inkii khiyaanuu sameeyaa, oo kan wax dhacaana wax buu dhacaa. Reer Ceelaamow, ku kac, reer Maadayow, hareeree. Taahiddii oo dhan anigu waan joojiyey.
a horrifying vision that has been explained to me. The betrayer still betrays; the destroyer still destroys. Elamites and Medes, go ahead, attack and lay siege to Babylon, for I'm putting a stop to all the pain it has caused.
3 Sidaas daraaddeed naxdin baa cidhiidhi i gelisay, oo waxaa i qabtay xanuun badan sida naag foosheed oo kale, oo xanuun aawadiis waxba waan maqli kari waayay, oo naxdin aawadeed waxba waan arki kari waayay.
As a result my body is filled with agony. I'm overwhelmed with pain, like the pain of a woman giving birth. I am confused by what I hear; I am distressed by what I see.
4 Waan qalbitakhtakhay, oo cabsi baa i argaggixisay. Fiidkii aan istareexa ka filanayay gariir buu iigu rogmaday.
My mind falters; I shake in panic. The night I looked forward to has become terrifying.
5 Miis bay diyaarsadaan, oo gogol bay gogladaan, wax bayna cunaan oo cabbaan. Amiirradow, sara joogsada, oo gaashaanka subka.
They set the table, they spread out the rugs, they eat and drink… “Get up, officers! Prepare your shields for battle!”
6 Waayo, Sayidku wuxuu igu yidhi, Tag, oo waardiye meel dhig, oo isna wuxuu arko ha sheego.
This is what the Lord told me: “Go! Have a lookout keep watch, and make sure he reports what he sees.
7 Oo markaasuu arkay ciidan fardo fuushan oo laba laba u socda, iyo ciidan dameerro fuushan, iyo ciidan rakuubbo fuushan, aad buuna u dhegaystay oo aad iyo aad buu uga fikiray.
When he sees chariots coming pulled by pairs of horses, riders on donkeys and on camels, he should watch very carefully, paying close attention.”
8 Oo wuxuu u qayliyey sidii libaax oo kale oo yidhi, Sayidow, maalintii oo dhan waxaan had iyo goorba ku kor taagnahay munaaradda waardiyaha, oo habeen walbana waxaan joogaa meeshayda waardiyaha.
Then the lookout shouted “Sir, I've stood here on the watchtower day after day; night after night I've remained at my post.
9 Oo bal eeg, waxaa soo socda ciidan fardo fuushan oo laba laba u socda. Oo isna waa u jawaabay oo wuxuu yidhi, Baabuloon waa dhacday, waa dhacday, oo sanamyadeedii xardhanaa oo ilaahyadeedu way wada jajabeen oo dhulkay daadsan yihiin.
Now look! A man in a chariot with a pair of horses is coming.” Then he said, “Babylon has fallen, has fallen! All the idols of its gods lie smashed on the ground!”
10 Dadkayga sida hadhuudh la tumayow, wixii aan Rabbiga ciidammada oo ah Ilaaha reer binu Israa'iil ka maqlay waan idin ogeysiiyey.
My poor downtrodden people, so badly mistreated, I have told you what I have heard from the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel.
11 Kanu waa warka culus ee Duumah ku saabsan. Mid baa aniga Seciir iiga yeedhay, isagoo leh, Waardiyow, habeenka ka warran?
A message about Edom. A voice is calling to me from Seir, asking, “Watchman, what time of night is it? Watchman, what time of night is it?”
12 Oo waardiyihiina wuxuu yidhi, Waagu waa beryayaa, habeenkuna waa soo socdaa, haddii aad wax weyddiinaysaan, weyddiiya, soo noqda oo kaalaya.
The watchman replies, “Morning is coming, but the night is coming again soon. If you want to ask again, then come back and ask.”
13 Kanu waa warka culus ee dalka Carabta ku saabsan. Kuwiinna safarka ah oo reer Dedaanow, waxaad ku hoyan doontaan kaynta dalka Carabta.
A message about Arabia. Caravans from Dedan, spend the night in the bushes.
14 Kuwa oomman biyo u keena, kuwa dalka Teemaa degganow, kuwa qaxay cunto kala hor taga.
People of Tema, take water to the thirsty, meet the refugees with food.
15 Waayo, iyagu seef bay ka carareen, taas oo ahayd seef gal la', iyo qaanso xodan iyo dagaal aad u kulul.
They're running away from a fierce battle, from swords, drawn swords, from bows and arrows.
16 Waayo, Sayidku wuxuu igu yidhi, Muddo sannad ah oo ah sida sannadaha shaqaalaha ayaa sharafta Qedaar oo dhammu ku baabbi'i doontaa.
This is what the Lord told me: “Within one year, just as a contract worker precisely counts years, all the glory of Kedar will be gone.
17 Oo intii ka hadhay tirada ragga qaansaleyda ah oo ah ragga xoogga badan oo reer Qedaarna way yaraan doontaa, waayo, Rabbiga ah Ilaaha reer binu Israa'iil ayaa saas ku hadlay.
There will only be a few left of the archers, the warriors of Kedar.” The Lord, the God of Israel, has spoken.
