< Ishacyaah 9 >

1 Habase ahaatee madow uma ahaan doono tii cidhiidhiga ku jirtay. Waagii hore wuxuu ka dhigay in la quudhsado dhulka Sebulun iyo dhulka Naftaali, laakiinse waagii dambe wuxuu ka dhigay in la sharafo dhulka ah xagga jidka badda, iyo Webi Urdun shishadiisa, iyo Galili quruumaha ka mid ah.
However, those in Judah who have been distressed/worried will not [continue to] suffer. Previously, Yahweh humbled [the people in] the land [where the tribes of] Zebulun and Naphtali [live]. But in the future he will honor [the people who live in] that Galilee region, along the road between the Jordan [River] and the [Mediterranean] Sea, where [many] foreigners live.
2 Dadkii ku socon jiray gudcurka ayaa iftiin weyn arkay, kuwii fadhiyi jiray dalka hooska dhimashada ahna iftiin baa u baxay.
[Some day, it will be as though] [MET] the people who walked in darkness will see a great light. A [great] light will shine on those who live in a land where they have great troubles/distress.
3 Adigu quruunta waad badisay, oo farxaddoodiina waad sii kordhisay, oo waxay hortaada ugu farxaan sida farxadda wakhtiga beeraha la goosto, iyo sida niman booli qaybsanayaa ay u reyreeyaan oo kale.
[Yahweh], you will cause us people in Israel to rejoice; we will become very happy. We will rejoice about what you [have done] like [SIM] people rejoice when they harvest their crops, [or] like soldiers rejoice when they divide up among themselves the things that they have captured in a battle.
4 Waayo, harqoodkii ku cuslaa, iyo hangoolkii garbaha lagaga dhufan jiray, iyo ushii kii dulmi jiray, ayaad jebisay sidii waagii reer Midyaan.
You will cause us to no longer be slaves [MET] [of those who captured us]; you will lift the heavy burdens from our shoulders. [It will be as though] you will break the rods of those who oppressed us, like you did when you destroyed [the army of] the Midian people-group.
5 Waayo, ninka hubka leh ee buuqa ku dhex jira hubkiisa oo dhan iyo dharka dhiigga miidhanna waa la gubi doonaa oo waxaa laga dhigi doonaa wax dabka lagu shido.
The boots that the enemy soldiers have worn and their clothing which has stains of blood on them will all be burned up; they will only be fuel for a [big] fire.
6 Waayo, waxaa inoo dhashay ilmo, waxaa layna siiyey wiil, oo boqornimadu garbihiisay saarmi doontaa, oo magiciisana waxaa loo bixin doonaa Ka Yaabkaleh, iyo Lataliye, iyo Ilaaha Xoogga leh, iyo Aabbaha Daa'imka ah, iyo Amiirka Nabadda.
Another reason that we will rejoice is that a [special] child will be born for us; [a woman will give birth to] a son, who will be our ruler. And his names will be ‘Wonderful Counselor’, ‘Mighty/Powerful God’, ‘[Our] Everlasting Father’, and ‘Prince/Ruler [who enables us to have] Peace’.
7 Oo boqornimadiisa iyo nabaddu way badnaan doonaan, dhammaadna uma lahaan doonaan carshiga Daa'uud iyo boqortooyadiisa, in la sii adkeeyo, oo caddaalad iyo xaqnimo lagu sii hayo haatan iyo tan iyo weligeedba. Oo tan waxaa samayn doona qiirada Rabbiga ciidammada.
His rule, and the peace that he [brings/causes], will never end. He will rule [MTY] fairly and justly [DOU], like [his ancestor King] David did. This will happen because the Commander of the armies of angels greatly desires that it happen.
8 Sayidku wuxuu eray u soo diray dadka Yacquub wuxuuna ku kor dhacay dadka Israa'iil.
The Lord has warned the people of Israel, the descendants of Jacob; he has said that [he will punish] them.
9 Oo waxaa garan doona dadka oo dhan, xataa reer Efrayim iyo kuwa Samaariya deggan oo kibirka iyo islaweynaanta qalbiga ku hadla, iyagoo leh,
And all the people in Samaria and [other places in] Israel know that, [but] they are very proud and arrogant [DOU]. They say, “Our city has been destroyed, but we will [take away the broken bricks from the ruins] [and] replace them with carefully cut stones. Our sycamore-fig trees have been cut down [by our enemies], but we will plant cedar trees [in their place].”
10 Lebennadii way soo dheceen, laakiinse annagu waxaannu ku dhisi doonnaa dhagaxyo la qoray, geedihii darayga ahaa waa la jaray, laakiinse waxaannu ku beddeli doonnaa geedo kedar ah.
11 Haddaba sidaas daraaddeed Rabbigu wuxuu ku soo kicin doonaa kuwa Resiin la col ah, oo cadaawayaashiisana wuu isku soo wada ururin doonaa dhammaantood,
But Yahweh brought the armies of [Assyria], the enemies of King Rezin [of Syria, to fight] against Israel and incited [other] nations [to attack Israel].
12 wuxuu reer Suuriya ka soo kicin doonaa xagga bari, reer Falastiinna xagga galbeed, oo waxay dadka Israa'iil ku cuni doonaan af furan. Hase ahaatee cadhadiisa kama uu sii jeedin, laakiinse gacantiisii weli way fidsan tahay.
[The army of] Syria [came] from the east, and [the army of] Philistia [came] from the west, and they destroyed Israel [like a wild animal tears another animal apart and] [MET] devours it. But even after that happened, Yahweh was still very angry with them. He was ready to strike them with his fist again.
13 Laakiinse dadku uma ay soo noqon kii iyaga wax ku dhuftay, mana ay doondoonin Rabbiga ciidammada.
[But even though] Yahweh punished his people [like that], they [still] did not return to him [and worship him]. They [still] did not request the Commander of the armies of angels [to assist them].
14 Haddaba sidaas daraaddeed Rabbigu maalin keliya ayuu dadka Israa'iil ka jari doonaa madaxa iyo dabadaba, iyo laanta iyo cawsduurkaba.
Therefore, in one day Yahweh will get rid of [those who are like] Israel’s head and [those who are like] its tail; the [ones who are like] the top of the palm tree and the [ones who are like] the bottom.
15 Odayga iyo kan sharafta lahu waa madaxa, oo nebiga dadka beenta baraana waa dabada.
The leaders [DOU] of Israel are the head, and the prophets who tell lies are the tail.
16 Waayo, dadkan hoggaamiyayaashoodu way qaldaan, oo kuwa la hoggaamiyaana way wada baabba'aan.
The leaders of the people have misled them; they have caused the people that they are ruling to be confused.
17 Haddaba sidaas daraaddeed Sayidku ku farxi maayo barbaarradooda, oo agoontooda iyo carmalladoodana u naxariisan maayo, waayo, midkood kastaaba waa cibaadalaawe iyo xumaanfale, oo af kastaana wuxuu ku hadlaa wax nacasnimo ah. Hase ahaatee cadhadiisa kama uu sii jeedin, laakiinse gacantiisii weli way fidsan tahay.
For that reason, Yahweh is not pleased with the young men [of Israel], and he does not [even] act mercifully toward the widows and orphans, because they are all ungodly and wicked, and they all say things that are foolish. [But] Yahweh still is angry with them; he is ready to strike them with his fist again.
18 Waayo, xumaantu waxay wax u gubtaa sida dabka oo kale, oo waxay dam ka dhigtaa yamaarugga iyo qodxanta, oo jiqda duuddana way ololisaa, oo waxaa kor uga baxa daruur qiiq ah.
When people do wicked things, it is like [SIM] a brushfire [that spreads rapidly]. It burns up [not only] briers and thorns; it starts a big fire in the forests from which clouds of smoke will rise.
19 Dhulku wuxuu la gubtay Rabbiga ciidammada cadhadiisa, oo dadkuna waxay yihiin sida wax dabka lagu shido, oo ninna walaalkiis ma caymiyo.
[It is as though] the [whole] land is burned [black] because the Commander of the armies of angels is extremely angry with the Israeli people. They will become like [SIM] fuel for that great fire, and no one will try to rescue even his [own] brother [from that fire].
20 Xagga gacanta midig ayaa wax laga dhufsan doonaa, waana la sii gaajoon doonaa, xagga gacanta bidixna wax baa lagu cuni doonaa, lamana dhergi doono, oo midkood kastaaba wuxuu cuni doonaa hilibka gacantiisa.
Israeli people will attack their neighbors on the right [to get food from them], but they will still be hungry. They will [kill those who live in houses] on the left and eat their flesh, but their stomachs will still not be full.
21 Reer Manaseh waxay cuni doonaan reer Efrayim, oo reer Efrayimna waxay cuni doonaan reer Manaseh, oo iyana dhammaantood waxay col ku ahaan doonaan reer Yahuudah. Hase ahaatee cadhadiisa kama uu sii jeedin, laakiinse gacantiisii weli way fidsan tahay.
[People of the tribes of] Manasseh and Ephraim will attack each other, and [then] they will both attack the people of Judah. But even after that happens, Yahweh will still be very angry with them. He will be ready to strike them with his fist again.
