Yeremyaah 12
1 Rabbiyow, xaq baad tahay markaan kula muddaco, haddaba bal aan xukummadaada kaala hadlo. Sharrowyada jidkoodu bal muxuu u hagaagaa? Oo kuwa khiyaano kula macaamiloodo oo dhammuna bal maxay u nabdoon yihiin?
Yahweh, whenever I tell you that I am unhappy [about what is happening to me], you [always] act justly/fairly. So now allow me to ask about one more thing [that I do not understand]: Why are wicked people [often] very prosperous? Why do things go very well for dishonest/wicked people?
2 Iyagaad beertay, oo weliba xidid bay yeesheen, way koraan, oo midhay dhalaan. Adigu afkooda waad ku dhow dahay, laakiinse qalbigooda waad ka fog tahay.
You allow them to prosper like [MET] trees that grow tall and bear [a lot of] fruit. They [always] say [MTY] good things about you, but their hearts are [really] far from you.
3 Laakiinse, Rabbiyow, adigu waad i taqaan, waanad i aragtaa, oo qalbigaygana xaggaagaad u tijaabisaa. Iyaga u soo bixi sida ido la gowracayo, oo u diyaari maalinta gowracidda.
But Yahweh, as for me, you know what is in my inner being. You see what I [do] and you are able to know what I am thinking. So drag away those [wicked] people, like [people drag away] sheep that they are going to butcher. Set them aside like sheep that are about to be slaughtered!
4 Ilaa goormuu dalku sii barooranayaa, oo uu waddanka oo dhan dooggiisu engegayaa? Xumaanta kuwa dhex deggan aawadeed ayaa xayawaankii iyo shimbirrihiiba wada baabbe'een, maxaa yeelay, dadku waxay yidhaahdeen, Isagu ugudambaystayada ma uu arki doono.
This land is [RHQ] becoming very dry and even the grass is withering. The wild animals and the birds have [all] died because the people are [very] wicked. [All that has happened] because the people have said, “Yahweh does not know what we are doing (OR, what will happen to us)!”
5 Haddaad rag lug ah la orodday oo ay ku daaliyeen, haddaba bal sidee baad fardo ula tartami kartaa? Oo haddii lagugu daaliyo dalkii nabadda ahaa oo aad isku hallaynaysay, haddaba bal maxaad ku dhex samayn doontaa kibirka Webi Urdun?
[Then to show me that I needed to be prepared to endure even greater difficulties, Yahweh said to me], [“It is as though] you have become exhausted from racing against men; so how will you be able to race against horses? If you [stumble and] fall when you are running on open/bare/smooth ground, what will happen to you when you are running through the thornbushes near the Jordan [River]?
6 Waayo, xataa walaalaha iyo reerkii aabbahaaba khiyaano bay kugula macaamiloodeen, oo weliba aad bay kaaga soo daba qayliyeen. In kastoo ay erayo wanaagsan kugula hadlaan, ha rumaysan.
[Already] your brothers and [other members of] your own family oppose you. They (plot against/plan to do evil things to) you and they say bad things about you. So even if they say nice things about you, do not trust them!
7 Anigu gurigaygii waan ka tegey, oo dhaxalkaygiina waan iska xooray, oo tii ay naftaydu aad u jeclaydna waxaan gacanta u geliyey cadaawayaasheedii.
I have abandoned my [Israeli] people, the people whom I chose to belong to me. I have allowed their enemies to conquer the Israeli people, whom I love.
8 Tan dhaxalkaygii ahayd waxay igu noqotay sidii libaax kaynta ku jira oo kale, codkeeday kor iigu qaadday, oo sidaas daraaddeed waan nebcaaday.
My people have become to me like [SIM] a lion in the forest. [It is as though] they roar at me like a lion, so now I hate them.
9 Tan dhaxalkaygii ahayd waxay igu tahay xaad birdhicyo leh oo kale, oo xaadka hareereheeda ku wareegsan oo dhammuna waa ku col iyada. Taga oo xayawaanka duurka oo dhan soo wada ururiya, oo soo wada kaxeeya ha cuneene.
My chosen people have [RHQ] become like speckled hawks that are surrounded by vultures [waiting to eat their flesh after they are dead]. Tell all the wild animals to come and eat [the flesh of their corpses].
10 Adhijirro badan ayaa beertaydii canabka ahayd baabbi'iyey, qaybtaydii cagta bay kula tunteen, oo qaybtaydii wanaagsanaydna waxay ka dhigeen lamadegaan cidla ah.
Many rulers [from other countries have come with their armies and] devastated/destroyed my people [whom I care for like a farmer takes care of his] vineyard. They have caused my beautiful land to become a barren desert where no one lives.
11 Cidla bay ka dhigeen, oo iyadoo cidla ah ayay xaggayga u soo baroorataa. Dalkii oo dhan cidla waa laga dhigay, waayo, ninna dan kama galo.
They have caused it to become completely empty; [it is as though] I hear the land crying sadly/mournfully. The whole land is desolate, and no one (worries about/pays any attention to) it.
12 Meelaha dhaadheer oo cidlada ku dhex yaal oo dhan waxaa ku soo kacay baabbi'iyayaashii, waayo, seefta Rabbiga ayaa wax ka baabbi'isa dalka darafkiisan iyo ilaa darafka kale inta ka dhex leh, oo binu-aadmiga oo dhan midnaba nabad ma leh.
The soldiers [of our enemies] have marched across all the barren hilltops. But [I], Yahweh, am using those armies [MTY] to punish your land from one end to the other, and no one will escape.
13 Iyagu waxay beerteen sarreen, laakiinse qodxan bay soo goosteen, aad bay u daaleen, laakiinse innaba ma ay faa'iidaan. Waxaad ku ceeboobi doontaan midhaha aad goosanaysaan, waana Rabbiga cadhadiisa kulul aawadeed.
[It is as though] my people planted wheat, but now they are harvesting thorns. They have become very tired [because of much hard work], but they have gained nothing [from all that work]. They will be very disappointed because their harvests [will be very small], [and that will happen] because [I], Yahweh, am extremely angry [with them].”
14 Derisyadayda sharka ah oo dhan oo taabta dhaxalkii aan dadkayga reer binu Israa'iil dhaxalsiiyey, Rabbigu wuxuu ka leeyahay, Bal ogaada, iyagaan dalka ka rujin doonaa, oo dadka Yahuudahna waan ka rujin doonaa dhexdooda.
This is [also] what Yahweh said to me: “[I will punish] the evil nearby nations that have been trying to take away the land that I gave to my Israeli people, and I will force them to leave their own land. But I will throw the people of Judah out of their land, also.
15 Oo markaan iyaga rujiyo dabadeed waan soo noqon doonaa oo iyagaan u naxariisan doonaa, oo mar kalaan ku soo celin doonaa nin kasta dhaxalkiisii iyo dhulkiisii.
But later I will act mercifully toward those nations again, and I will bring them back to their own lands again. Each [clan] will come back to its own land.
16 Oo hadday jidadka dadkayga aad u bartaan oo ay magacayga ku dhaartaan iyagoo leh, Rabbiga nool baannu ku dhaaranaynaa, xataa siday dadkayga u bareen inay Bacal ku dhaartaan, markaas iyagaa lagu dhisi doonaa dadkayga dhexdiisa.
And if the people [of the other nations whose armies have invaded Israel] learn the [religious] customs of my people, and if they learn that I [am listening] when they solemnly promise that they will do something good, like they taught my people to believe that [their god] Baal [was listening] when they made solemn promises, I will cause them to become prosperous, and they also will be my people.
17 Laakiinse Rabbigu wuxuu leeyahay, Hadday i dhegaysan waayaan, quruuntaas waan wada rujin doonaa, oo waan baabbi'in doonaa.
But I will expel any nation whose people refuse to obey me, and I will destroy that nation and its people. [That will surely happen because I], Yahweh, have said it.”
