Ishacyaah 47
1 Gabadha bikradda ah ee Baabuloon ahay, soo deg, oo ciidda ku fadhiiso, magaalada reer Kaldayiinay, carshila'aan dhulka ku fadhiiso, waayo, mar dambe adiga laguuguma yeedhi doono mid dhaylo ah oo jilcisan.
Go down and sit in the dust, virgin daughter of Babylon. Sit on the ground without a throne, daughter of Babylonia! No longer will people call you gentle and delicate.
2 Dhagaxshiidyada qaad oo wax shiid, masarka madaxa ka qaad, oo lugaha qaawi, tan iyo bowdada tafaxaydo, oo webiyaasha ka gudub.
Go to work grinding flour with millstones. Remove your veil. Strip off your skirt, bare your legs, wade through rivers.
3 Cawradaada waa la qaawin doonaa, ceebtaadana waa la arki doonaa. Waan aarsan doonaa, oo ninna uma tudhi doono.
You will be seen naked; what should be kept private will be shamefully exposed. I will take vengeance—I won't spare anyone.
4 Bixiyahayaga magiciisa waxaa la yidhaahdaa Rabbiga ciidammada oo ah Kan Quduuska ah ee reer binu Israa'iil.
Our Redeemer—his name is the Lord Almighty—is the Holy One of Israel.
5 Magaalada reer Kaldayiinay, shib dheh oo fadhiiso, meel gudcur ah gal, waayo, mar dambe laguuguma yeedhi doono sayidaddii boqortooyooyinka.
Sit quietly, and go into the darkness, daughter of Babylonia. Never again will you be called queen of all kingdoms.
6 Waxaan u cadhooday dadkaygii, oo dhaxalkaygii nijaas baan ka dhigay, oo adigaan gacanta kuu geliyey. Innaba iyagii uma aadan naxariisan, oo dadka gaboobay ayaad harqoodkaagii wax culus kaga dhigtay.
I was angry with my people, and I abandoned those who belonged to me. I handed them over to you. But you didn't show them mercy—you even mistreated old people.
7 Waxaad istidhi, Anigu weligayba waxaan ahaan doonaa sayidad, oo waxyaalahanna qalbiga ma aad gelin, oo ugudambaystoodiina sooma aadan xusuusan.
You said, “I will reign forever as the eternal queen.” But you didn't think about what was coming; you didn't remember what would happen to you in the end.
8 Haddaba bal waxyaalahan maqal, taada iska raaxaysata oo istareexa ku joogtoy. Waxaad qalbiga iska tidhaahdaa, Anigaa ah oo aniga mooyaane cid kale ma jirto, anigu innaba carmal ma noqon doono, oo ma gablami doono.
Now listen to this, you sensual woman, sitting there so sure of yourself, saying to yourself, “I am supreme—there's nobody besides me. I shall never be a widow or experience the loss of my children.”
9 Laakiinse labadan waxyaalood isku maalin qudha ayay isku daqiiqad kuu iman doonaan, waana gablannimo iyo carmalnimo. Aad iyo aad bay kuugu soo degi doonaan in kastoo aad saaxirnimo badan iyo falfal tiro badan badisay.
But both these things will happen to you in quick succession! In just one day you will lose your children and become a widow. You will have this experience in its totality, in spite of all your witchcraft, in spite of all your magic spells.
10 Waayo, waxaad isku hallaysay sharnimadaada, oo waxaad istidhi, Ninna ima arko. Waxaa ku qalday xigmaddaada iyo aqoontaada, oo waxaad qalbiga iska tidhi, Anigaa ah, oo aniga mooyaane cid kale ma jirto.
You put your trust in your evil actions, saying “No one can see what I'm doing.” Your wisdom and knowledge seduced you, and you told yourself, “I am supreme—there's nobody besides me.”
11 Haddaba sidaas daraaddeed masiibo baa kugu soo degi doonta, mana aad garan doontid si ay kuugu iman doonto, belaayaa kugu dhici doonta, oo mana aad kari doontid inaad iska fogaysid, oo baabbi'id baa si kedis ah kuugu soo degi doonta, taasoo aadan aqoon.
Evil is going to strike you, and you won't be able to magic it away. Disaster will fall on you that you can't stop by paying a ransom. Destruction will suddenly hit you that you weren't expecting.
12 Haddaad ku faa'iidi karaysid iyo haddaad ku adkaan karaysid, bal haatan la soo istaag falfalkaaga iyo saaxirnimadaada faraha badan oo aad tan iyo yaraantaadii ku soo hawshoonaysay.
So keep going with your magic spells and all your witchcraft, which you have worked at since you were young. Maybe you'll be successful, maybe you'll terrify people!
13 Waxaad ku daashay talooyinkaagii tirada badnaa, haddaba xiddigayaqaannada, iyo xiddigasheegyada, iyo xilliyasheegyaduba ha sara joogsadeen, oo ha kaa badbaadiyeen waxyaalaha kugu soo degi doona.
All the advice you've received has worn you out! Where are your astrologers, those who look to the stars for guidance, who give you their predictions every month? Let them stand up and save you from what's coming down on you!
14 Bal eeg, iyagu waxay noqon doonaan sida xaab oo kale, oo dabka ayaa wada gubi doona, oo iyana xoogga ololka iskama ay samatabbixin doonaan, oo dabkaasuna ma ahaan doono dhuxul la kulaalo, amase dab la hor fadhiisto.
But look at them! They're like stubble that fire burns up completely—they can't even save their own lives from the flames. This is no fire to sit beside and grow warm!
15 Saasay kuu noqon doonaan waxyaalihii aad ku hawshootay, oo kuwii aad macaamilada la lahayd tan iyo yaraantaadii midkood kastaaba meeshiisuu tegi doonaa, oo mid ku badbaadiyana ma jiri doono.
All those people you've worked with, all those you've traded with from when you were young—they will all go their own way, nobody will come and save you.
