Ishacyaah 28
1 Waxaa iska hoogay taajka kibirka oo sakhraamiinta reer Efrayim, iyo ubaxa engegay ee quruxdooda weyn oo ku yaal madaxa dooxada barwaaqaysan ee kuwa khamrigu ka adkaaday.
Terrible things will happen to [Samaria city, the capital of Israel]! It is on a hill above a fertile valley; the people who live there, who get drunk by drinking too much wine, are very proud; it is a beautiful and glorious city, but some day that beauty will disappear like [MET] a flower that wilts and dries up.
2 Bal eega, Sayidku wuxuu leeyahay mid itaal weyn oo xoog badan. Sida roobdhagaxyaale ah, iyo duufaan wax burburinaya, iyo sida daad biyo xoog badan oo wax qarqinaya ayaa gacantiisu dhulka wax ugu xoori doontaa.
Listen to this: Yahweh will cause a great army to attack Samaria. Their soldiers will be like [SIM] a huge hailstorm [or] a very strong wind; they will be everywhere, like the water of a huge flood, and they will smash to the ground [the buildings in Samaria].
3 Oo taajka kibirka ee sakhraamiinta reer Efrayim ayaa cagaha lagula tuman doonaa,
The people of Samaria are proud, but everything that the drunks who live there think is wonderful/glorious will be trampled on by their enemies.
4 oo ubaxa engegay oo quruxdooda weyn oo ku yaal madaxa dooxada barwaaqaysanna wuxuu noqon doonaa sida berdaha beergoosadka hortiis bislaada, oo ku alla kii fiiriyaaba markuu arko iska cuno intuu gacantiisa ku jiro.
[Yes], Samaria is beautiful, set on a hill above a fertile valley, but that beauty will disappear like [MET] a flower that wilts and dries up. Whenever someone sees a good fig at the beginning of the season [when figs become ripe], he quickly picks and eats it; [similarly, when the enemies of Israel see all the beautiful things in Samaria], [they will quickly conquer the city and take away all those things].
5 Oo wakhtigaas Rabbiga ciidammadu wuxuu kuwa dadkiisa ka hadhay u ahaan doonaa taaj sharaf ah, iyo cigaal quruxsan,
At that time, the Commander of the armies of angels will be [like] a glorious wreath of flowers for [us] Israeli people who are still alive [after being exiled].
6 oo kan garsoorid u fadhiyana wuxuu u ahaan doonaa caddaalad, oo kuwa dagaalka iridda ka celiyana wuxuu u ahaan doonaa xoog.
He will cause our judges to want to do what is fair/just when they decide people’s cases. He will enable the soldiers who stand at the city gates to strongly defend [the city when our enemies attack it].
7 Laakiinse kuwaasuba khamri bay ku ambadeen, oo waxay la dhacdheceen wax lagu sakhraamo. Oo wadaadkii iyo nebigiiba waxay ku ambadeen wax lagu sakhraamo, oo waxay aad ugu qasmeen khamri, oo waxay u habaabeen wax lagu sakhraamo. Riyada way ku ambadaan, oo garsooriddana way ku turunturoodaan.
[But now, ] our leaders stagger/stumble because they have drunk a lot of wine and [other] alcoholic drinks. The priests and prophets also stagger because of drinking a lot of wine and other alcoholic drinks. They are not able to think right; they see visions but they cannot understand what they mean; they are unable to decide things correctly.
8 Waayo, miisaskii oo dhan waxaa ka buuxsamay mantag iyo wasakh, oo xataa meel keliya oo nadiifsan lama arko.
All their tables are covered with [their] vomit; filth is everywhere.
9 Bal yuu aqoon bari doonaa? Bal yuuse warka garansiin doonaa? Ma kuwa caanihii laga gudhiyey oo naasaha laga duway baa?
They ridicule Yahweh saying, “Who does he think that he is teaching? Why is he talking to us like this? [Does he think that] we are little children who have recently been weaned?
10 Waayo, amarba amar, amarba amar baa lagu daraa, oo qaynuunba qaynuun, qaynuunba qaynuun baa lagu daraa, halkan in yar, halkaasna in yar.
[He continually tells us], ‘Do this, do that;’ first he tells us one rule, then another rule, he tells us only one line at a time.”
11 Laakiinse bushimo dad qalaad iyo af kale ayuu kula hadli doonaa dadkan
So now, Yahweh will need to force them to listen to [Assyrians] speaking to them in a language that they do not understand.
12 uu markii hore ku yidhi, Tanu waa nasasho, ee kuwa daallan ku nasiya, oo tanuna waa isqabowjintii. Laakiinse inay maqlaan way diideen.
Yahweh told his people [long ago], “[This is] a place where you can rest; you are exhausted [from all your travels through the desert], but you will be able to rest [in this land].” But they refused to pay attention to what he said.
13 Sidaas daraaddeed erayga Rabbigu wuxuu iyaga u noqon doonaa amar amar lagu daray, iyo amar amar lagu daray, qaynuun qaynuun lagu daray, iyo qaynuun qaynuun lagu daray, halkan in yar, halkaasna in yar, si ay intay tagaan dib ugu dhacaan, oo ay u jajabaan, oo ay dabin ugu dhacaan, oo ay u noqdaan kuwa la qabtay.
So Yahweh continues to tell the people of Samaria, one line at a time, “Do this, do that,” first one rule and then another rule. But because [of their ignoring what God said], they will be attacked and defeated; they will be wounded and snared and captured.
14 Haddaba sidaas daraaddeed kuwiinna wax quudhsada oo dadkan Yeruusaalem deggan u taliyow erayga Rabbiga maqla.
Because of [what will happen in Samaria], you rulers in Jerusalem who make fun of me, listen to this message from Yahweh:
15 Idinku waxaad tidhaahdeen, Axdi baan geerida la dhigannay, oo She'oolna heshiis baannu la nahay, oo markii belaayada wax qarqinaysa ay dhacayso na soo gaadhi mayso, waayo, been baannu gabbaad ka dhigannay, oo waxaannu ku hoos dhuumannay daacadla'aan, (Sheol h7585)
You [boast] saying, “We have made an alliance with [the leaders of Egypt], so we will not be killed [in battles]; we will never go to the place where the dead people are. When the [army of Assyria] attacks us, they will never defeat us, because we have made [an agreement with Egypt] to protect us!” [But that agreement consists of] a lot of lies [DOU]. (Sheol h7585)
16 sidaas daraaddeed Sayidka Rabbiga ahu wuxuu leeyahay, Bal eega, Siyoon dhagax baan aasaas uga dhigay, waana dhagax la tijaabiyey, waana dhagax geeseed oo qaali ah oo aasaas la hubo ah, oo kii isaga rumaystaana ma degdegi doono.
Therefore, Yahweh [our] Lord says this: “Listen to this! I am going to place in Jerusalem [someone who is like] [MET] a foundation stone, [he is like] a stone that has been tested [to determine if it is solid]. [He will be like] a valuable cornerstone around which it will be safe to build a house; and whoever trusts in him will never be disappointed.
17 Oo caddaaladna waxaan ka dhigi doonaa xadhig qiyaaseed, xaqnimona waxaan ka dhigi doonaa xadhig miisaan leh, oo roobdhagaxyaaluhuna wuxuu xaaqi doonaa gabbaadka beenta, oo biyuhuna waxay qarqin doonaan meesha dhuumashada.
I will test you [people of Jerusalem] to find out if you will act justly and righteously [like] [MET] someone uses a plumb line [to determine if a wall is straight and vertical]. But because your agreement [with Egypt] to protect you [was made by leaders] lying to each other and deceiving each other, you will be defeated and taken away [from your country] by [an army that will come against you like] [MET] a flood.
18 Oo axdigii aad geerida la dhigateenna waa la burin doonaa, oo heshiiskiinnii aad She'ool la lahaydeenna ma hagaagi doono, oo markii belaayada wax qarqinaysa ay dhacaysona way idinku tuman doontaa. (Sheol h7585)
I will annul/destroy the agreement that you made [with the leaders of Egypt]. You thought that [because of that agreement] you would not be killed, and you would not go to the place where the dead are. [But] when the vast [army of Assyria] overwhelms you like a flood, they will trample you into the ground. (Sheol h7585)
19 Oo markay dhacaysoba way idin kaxaysan doontaa, waayo, waxay dhici doontaa subax ka subax, iyo habeen iyo maalinba, oo in warka la garto waxay noqon doontaa cabsi uun.
Their soldiers will come during the morning, at noontime, and at night, and they will carry you all away.” And when you understand this message, you will be terrified.
20 Waayo, sariirtu way ka gaaban tahay in qof isku kala bixin karo, oo aad buu uga yar yahay wax qof huwan karo.
[You have heard people say], “Your bed is very short, you will not be able to sleep in it; your blankets are very narrow; they will not cover you!” [That means for you that your agreement with Egypt is not going to save you].
21 Waayo, Rabbigu wuxuu u soo kici doonaa siduu Buur Feraasiim ugu kacay, oo wuxuu u cadhoon doonaa siduu dooxada Gibecoon ugu cadhooday, inuu sameeyo shuqulkiisa, waana shuqulkiisa yaabka leh, iyo inuu falintiisa falo, waana falintiisa aan la fillayn.
Yahweh will come [and cause you to be defeated]; he will do to you like he did to the army of Philistia at Perizim Mountain and like he did to the Amor people-group at Gibeon Valley. What he will do will be [very] strange and unusual [DOU].
22 Haddaba sidaas daraaddeed ha noqonina kuwa wax quudhsada yaan waxa laydinku xidhay idinku sii adkaynine, waayo, Sayidka ah Rabbiga ciidammada waxaan ka maqlay xukunkii baabbi'inta ee uu dhulka oo dhan la damacsan yahay.
The Commander of the armies of angels has told me that he is going to destroy the entire land. So do not ridicule [what I say any more], because if you do that he will punish you [even] more severely.
23 Dhegta ii dhiga, oo codkayga maqla, dhegaysta oo hadalkayga maqla.
Listen [IDM] to what I say; pay attention carefully.
24 Kan beerta jeexa miyuu had iyo goorba beerta u jeexaa inuu wax abuuro aawadeed? Oo miyuu had iyo goorba beertiisa sii qodaa oo sii jeexaa?
When a farmer plows some ground, does he never plant seeds [RHQ]? Does he continue to plow it and never plant anything [RHQ]?
25 Markuuse beerta ciiddeeda oo dhan wada simo miyuusan ku firdhin kabsarmadowda, oo miyuusan kamuunta firdhin, oo sarreenkana miyuusan safsaf u beerin, iyo shaciirkana meeshiisii, iyo heeddana xagga darafka?
No, he makes the ground very level, and then he plants seeds— dill and cumin and wheat and barley. He plants each kind of seed in the correct manner.
26 Waayo, caqligaas Ilaahiisaa ku tacliimiya, oo isaga bara.
[He does that] because God has taught him the correct way to do it.
27 Waayo, kabsarmadowda wax af leh laguma tumo, oo giringirta gaadhiguna kamuunta kuma kor wareegto, laakiinse kabsarmadowda siiqaa lagu garaacaa, oo kamuuntana ul baa lagu tumaa.
[Farmers] never thresh caraway/dill with a heavy sledge/club; instead, they beat it only with a stick. [Farmers] never thresh cumin by driving a cart over it; instead, they hit it [only] with a rod.
28 Hadhuudhka kibista waa la tumaa, laakiinse had iyo goorba siima uu tumi doono, oo ma uu burburiyo in kastoo giringirta gaadhigiisa iyo fardihiisuba ay ku tuntaan.
And grain for baking bread is crushed easily, so the farmers do not continue to pound it for a long time. They sometimes cause their horses to pull a cart over it [to thresh it], [but] doing that does not grind the grain.
29 Oo taasuna waxay ka timaadaa Rabbiga ciidammada, kaasoo xagga talada yaab miidhan ah, oo xagga xigmaddana aad ugu weyn.
The Commander of the armies of angels gives [us] wonderful advice [about how to do things]; he causes [us] to be very wise. [So what the farmers do is very smart/wise, but what your leaders are doing is very stupid].
