< Yeremyaah 18 >

1 Kanu waa eraygii Yeremyaah xagga Rabbiga uga yimid, isagoo leh,
This message came to Jeremiah from the Lord:
2 Kac, oo waxaad tagtaa guriga dheryasameeyaha, oo halkaasaan erayadayda kugu maqashiin doonaa.
Go down right away to the potter's house. I will give you my message there.
3 Markaasaan xaggii gurigii dheryasameeyaha tegey, oo bal eeg, waxaan arkay isagoo giringiro shuqulkiisa ku samaynaya.
I went down to the potter's house and saw him working at his potter's wheel.
4 Oo markii weelkii uu dheryasameeyuhu dhoobada ka samaynayay gacantiisii ku kharribmay ayuu dheryasameeyihii haddana weel kale sameeyey sidii isaga la wanaagsanayd.
But the pot that he was making from the clay went wrong. So he made it into something different as he thought best.
5 Markaas waxaa ii yimid Eraygii Rabbiga oo leh,
The Lord's message came to me, saying,
6 Rabbigu wuxuu leeyahay, Dadka Israa'iilow, miyaanan idinku samayn karin sida dheryasameeyuhu yeelay oo kale? Dadka Israa'iilow, bal ogaada, idinku waxaad gacantayda ugu jirtaan sida dhoobadu gacanta dheryasameeyaha ugu jirto oo kale.
People of Israel, declares the Lord, can't I deal with you just like this potter does with his clay? I hold you in my hand just like clay in the potter's hand, people of Israel.
7 Mar alla markaan ku hadlo wax ku saabsan quruun ama boqortooyo, inaan iyaga rujiyo, oo aan dumiyo, oo aan baabbi'iyo,
At one time it could happen that I announce that a nation or a kingdom is going to be uprooted, torn down, and destroyed.
8 haddii dadka quruuntaas aan ka hadlay ay sharkooda ka soo noqdaan, aniguna waan ka soo noqon doonaa masiibadii aan ku fikiray inaan ku sameeyo.
However, if that nation I warned gives up its evil ways, then I will change my mind regarding the disaster I was about to bring.
9 Oo mar alla markaan ku hadlo wax ku saabsan quruun ama boqortooyo inaan iyada dhiso oo aan beero,
At another time I could announce that I'm going to build up and give power to a nation or a kingdom.
10 hadday wax shar ah hortayda ku sameeyaan, oo ay codkayga addeeci waayaan, markaas anigu waan ka soo noqon doonaa wanaaggii aan ugu talaggalay.
But if it does evil in my sight and refuses to listen to my voice, then I will change my mind regarding the good I had planned for it.
11 Haddaba sidaas daraaddeed tag, oo waxaad la hadashaa dadka dalka Yahuudah iyo kuwa Yeruusaalem deggan, oo waxaad ku tidhaahdaa, Rabbigu wuxuu leeyahay, Bal ogaada, anigu masiibaan idiin qabanqaabinayaa, oo hindisaan idiin hindisayaa. Haddaba midkiin kastaaba jidkiisa sharka ah ha ka soo noqdo, oo jidadkiinna iyo falimihiinnaba wanaajiya.
So tell the people of Judah and those living in Jerusalem that this is what the Lord says: Watch out! I am preparing disaster for you, and working out a plan against you. All of you, give up your evil ways. Live right and act right!
12 Laakiinse iyagu waxay leeyihiin, Taas ha ka yaabin, annagu waxaannu iska daba soconaynaa hindisooyinkayaga, oo midkayo kastaaba wuxuu samayn doonaa caasinimada qalbigiisa sharka ah.
But they'll say, “We just can't! We'll do whatever we want. Each of us will stubbornly follow our own evil thinking.”
13 Sidaas daraaddeed Rabbigu wuxuu leeyahay, Quruumaha waxaad ka dhex weyddiisaan, Bal yaa waxyaalahan oo kale maqlay? Dadka Israa'iil oo bikrad ah waxay sameeyeen wax aad iyo aad u xun.
Consequently this is what the Lord says: Ask around the nations—has anybody ever heard anything like this? Virgin Israel has acted really badly.
14 Barafka cad ee Lubnaan miyaa laga waayaa dhagaxa duurka? Miyaase biyaha qabow oo meel fog ka soo qulqulaya iska gudhaan?
Does the snow of Lebanon ever disappear from its rocky mountain-tops? Do its cool waters that flow from such distant sources ever dry up?
15 Hase ahaatee dadkaygii way i illoobeen, oo waxay foox u shideen waxyaalo aan waxba ahayn, oo waxay ku dhex turunturoodeen jidadkoodii ahaa waddooyinkii hore, wayna ka leexdeen, oo waxay ku socdeen dhabbayaal qalloocan iyo jid aan jidka weyn ahayn,
But my people have rejected me! They burn incense to useless idols which trip them up, making them leave the old roads in order to walk down unmade paths instead of the highway.
16 si ay dalkoodii uga dhigaan cidla laga yaabo iyo wax had iyo goorba lagu foodhyo. Mid kasta oo ag maraaba wuu yaabi doonaa, oo madaxuu luli doonaa.
They have turned their country into a horrific wasteland, a place that will always be treated with contempt. People passing by will be shocked, shaking their heads in disbelief.
17 Anigu waxaan iyaga cadowgooda ugu hor firdhin doonaa sidii iyagoo dabayl bari kaxaysay, oo maalintii masiibadoodana waxaan u jeedin doonaa dhabarka, oo innaba wejiga tusi maayo.
Like a strong wind from the east I will scatter them before the enemy. I will turn my back on them and not look at them when their time of trouble comes.
18 Oo markaas waxay yidhaahdeen, Ina keena aynu Yeremyaah shirqool u hindisnee, waayo, sharcigu wadaadka ka tegi maayo, oo taladuna kii xigmad leh ka tegi mayso, oo erayguna nebiga ka tegi maayo. Ina keena aynu isaga carrabka ku dhufannee, oo erayadiisana yeynan innaba dheg u dhigin.
Some people decided, “We need a plan to deal with Jeremiah. There'll still be priests to explain the law, there'll still be wise people to give advice, and there'll still be prophets to give prophecies. Let's organize a smear campaign against him so we don't have to listen to a word he says.”
19 Rabbiyow, bal i maqal, oo bal dhegayso kuwa ila diriraya codkooda.
Lord, please pay attention to what's happening to me! Listen to what my accusers are saying!
20 Wanaag miyaa loogu abaalgudaa shar? Waayo, iyagu god bay u qodeen naftayda. Bal xusuuso inaan hortaada u istaagay inaan iyaga aawadood wanaag kaa baryo, iyo inaan cadhadaada iyaga ka leexiyo.
Should good be paid back with evil? Yet they have dug a pit to trap me! Remember how I stood before you to plead on their behalf, to stop you being angry with them?
21 Haddaba sidaas daraaddeed carruurtooda abaar u gacangeli, oo waxaad iyaga u gudbisaa xoogga seefta, oo naagahooduna ha gablameen, oo carmallo ha noqdeen, oo raggoodana ha la laayo, oo barbaarradoodana seef ha lagu dilo dagaalka dhexdiisa.
But now may their children starve; may they be killed by the sword. May their wives lose their children and their husbands; may their husbands die from disease; may their young men be killed in battle.
22 Markaad col sii dhaqsiya ugu soo daysid, qaylo ha ka dhex yeedho guryahooda, waayo, god bay ii qodeen, oo shirqool bay cagahayga u qariyeen.
May cries of agony be heard from their houses when you suddenly bring invaders to attack them, because they dug a pit to capture me and hid traps to catch me as I walk along.
23 Rabbiyow, adigu waad og tahay taladooda oo dhan iyo siday u doonayaan inay i dilaan. Xumaantooda ha ka cafiyin, oo dembigoodana hortaada ha ka tirtirin, laakiinse hortaada ha lagu afgembiyo, oo wakhtiga cadhadaadana sidaas ula macaamilo.
But Lord, you know about all their plots to try and kill me. Don't forgive their wickedness; don't wipe away their sin. Bring them down! Deal with them when you're angry!
