< Yeremyaah 2 >
1 Oo haddana eraygii Rabbigu waa ii yimid, isagoo leh,
The Lord's message came to me, saying,
2 Tag oo Yeruusaalem dhegaha kaga qayli, oo waxaad ku tidhaahdaa, Rabbigu wuxuu leeyahay, Waxaan xusuusnahay roonaantii yaraantaada iyo jacaylkii doonanaantaada, markaad igu raaci jirtay cidladii ahayd dal aan waxba lagu beerin.
Go and announce to the people of Jerusalem that this is what the Lord says: I remember when you were young how devoted to me you were. I remember how you loved me when you were my bride. I remember how you followed me in the desert, in a land where nothing is grown.
3 Reer binu Israa'iil wuxuu Rabbiga u ahaa quduus, iyo midhihii ugu horreeyey ee beergooyskiisii, oo kuwii isaga cunay oo dhammu eed bay lahaayeen, oo masiibo baa iyaga ku soo degtay, ayaa Rabbigu leeyahay.
Israel was holy to the Lord, the firstfruits of his harvest. Anyone who ate this harvest was guilty of sin, and they experienced the disastrous results, declares the Lord.
4 Reer Yacquub iyo qolooyinka reer binu Israa'iil oo dhammow, bal maqla erayga Rabbiga:
Listen to the Lord's message, descendants of Jacob, all you Israelites.
5 Rabbigu wuxuu leeyahay, Awowayaashiin maxaa xaqdarro ah oo ay iga heleen oo ay iiga fogaadeen, oo ay waxyaalaha aan waxtarka lahayn u raaceen, oo ay waxmatarayaal u noqdeen?
This is what the Lord says: What did your forefathers think was wrong with me that they went so far away from me? They went off to worship useless idols, and as a result became useless themselves!
6 Oo iyagu innaba ma ay odhan, Meeh Rabbigii dalka Masar naga soo bixiyey, oo nagu soo hor kacay cidlada dhexdeeda, taasoo ahayd dal lamadegaan ah oo godad badan, iyo dal abaar iyo hooska dhimashada ah, iyo dal aan ciduna dhex marin, iyo meel aan la degin?
They didn't ask themselves, “Where is the Lord who led us from Egypt, who led us through the wasteland, through a land of deserts and ravines, a land of drought and darkness, a land that no one travels through and where no one lives?”
7 Oo waxaan idin keenay waddan barwaaqo badan, inaad midhihiisa iyo wanaaggiisa cuntaan, laakiinse markaad soo gasheen ayaad dalkaygii nijaasayseen, oo dhaxalkaygiina waxaad ka dhigteen wax karaahiyo ah.
I led you into a productive land to eat all the good things that grow there. But you came and made my land unclean, making it offensive to me.
8 Wadaaddadii ma ay odhan, Rabbigii meeh? Oo kuwa sharciga hayaana ima ay aqoon, oo taliyayaashiina way igu xadgudbeen, oo nebiyadiina waxay wax ku sii sheegeen Bacal, oo waxay iska daba galeen waxyaalo aan innaba faa'iido lahayn.
Your priests did not ask, “Where is the Lord?” Your teachers of the law no longer believed in me, and your leaders rebelled against me. Your prophets prophesied by calling on Baal and followed worthless idols.
9 Oo sidaas daraaddeed weli waan idinla muddacayaa, oo carruurtiinna carruurtoodana waan la muddici doonaa.
So I'm going to confront you again, declares the Lord, and I will bring charges against your children's children.
10 Waayo, bal u gudba xagga gasiiradda Kitiim, oo bal wax eega, oo xagga Qedaarna cid u dira, oo aad u fiirsada, oo bal eega hadday waxaas oo kale halkaas jiraan.
Travel over to the islands of Cyprus and take a look; go to the land of Kedar and examine carefully to see if anything like this has ever happened before.
11 Miyey jirtaa quruun beddeshay ilaahyadeed aan ilaahyo ahayn? Laakiinse dadkaygu waxay ammaantoodii ku beddeleen wax aan waxtar lahayn.
Has a nation ever changed its gods? —even though they're not gods at all! Yet my people have traded their glorious God for worthless idols.
12 Rabbigu wuxuu leeyahay, Samooyinkow, bal waxan la yaaba, oo aad iyo aad u cabsada, oo haddana aad u gariira.
You heavens, you should be appalled, shocked and horrified! declares the Lord.
13 Waayo, dadkaygii laba waxyaalood oo shar ah ayay sameeyeen, way iga tageen anigoo ah isha biyaha nool, oo waxay qoteen berkedo daldaloola oo aan innaba biyo celin karin.
For my people have done two evil things. They have abandoned me, the source of living water, and they have dug their own cisterns—broken cisterns that can't hold water.
14 Dalka Israa'iil ma addoon baa, mase waa bidde guriga ku dhashay? Maxaa isaga loo kala boobay?
Are Israelites slaves? Were they born into slavery? So why have they become victims?
15 Libaaxyo qayrabyo ah ayaa ku ciyey, oo codkoodiina way dheereeyeen, oo dalkiisiina way baabbi'iyeen, oo magaalooyinkiisiina way gubteen oo ciduna ma deggana.
The young lions roared at you; they growled loudly. They have devastated your country; your towns lie in ruins. No one lives there.
16 Oo waxaa dhalada kaa jebiyey reer Nof iyo reer Taxfanees.
The men of Memphis and Tahpanhes have shaved your heads.
17 Sow adiga qudhaadu isuma aad keenin belaayadan, waayo, waxaad ka tagtay Rabbiga Ilaahaaga ah markuu jidka kugu hagayay?
Didn't you bring this on yourself by abandoning the Lord your God when he was leading you in the right way?
18 Oo haatan bal maxaad ka samaynaysaa jidka Masar inaad cabto biyaha Shiixoor? Amase bal maxaad ka samaynaysaa jidka Ashuur inaad cabto biyaha Webi Yufraad?
Now what will you benefit as you travel back to Egypt to drink the waters of Shihor River? What will you gain on your way to Assyria to drink the waters of the Euphrates River?
19 Haddaba xumaantaada ayaa ku edbin doonta, oo dibunoqoshadaada ayaa ku canaanan doonta. Sayidka ah Rabbiga ciidammadu wuxuu leeyahay, Haddaba bal ogow oo arag inay tahay wax shar ah oo qadhaadh inaad iga tagtay anigoo Rabbiga Ilaahaaga ah, iyo inaadan iga cabsan.
Your own wickedness will discipline you; your own disobedience will teach you a lesson. Think about it and you'll recognize what a bitter evil it is for you to abandon the Lord your God and not to respect me, declares the Lord God Almighty.
20 Waayo, waa hore ayaad harqoodkaagii jebisay, oo waxaad kala gooysay silsiladihii kugu xidhnaa, oo waxaad tidhi, Anigu kuu adeegi maayo, oo buur kasta oo dheer korkeed iyo geed kasta oo doog ah hoostiis ayaad ku jiifsatay sida dhillo oo kale.
You broke off your yoke and ripped off your chains long ago. “I won't worship you!” you declared. On the contrary, you lay down like a prostitute on every high hill and under every green tree.
21 Laakiin waxaan kuu beeray canab wacan, oo kulligiis abuur wanaagsan ah, haddaba sidee baad ugu beddelantay inaad igu noqotid canab ba'ay oo qalaad?
I was the one who planted you like the finest vine, grown from the very best seed. How could you degenerate into a useless wild vine?
22 Waayo, Sayidka Rabbiga ahu wuxuu leeyahay, In kastoo aad soodhe isku maydhid, oo aad saabuun iska badisid, weli xumaantaadii sida calaamad oo kale bay ii muuqataa.
Even bleach and plenty of soap can't get rid of your guilty stains. I still see them, declares the Lord God.
23 Sidee baad u odhan kartaa, Anigu ma nijaasoobin, oo Bacaliimna ma raacin? Bal fiiri socodkii aad dooxada ku martay, oo garo wixii aad samaysay. Waxaad tahay qaalin geel oo dheeraysa oo warwareegta,
How dare you say, “I'm not unclean! I haven't gone to worship the Baals!” Look at what you've been doing down in the valley. Admit what you've done! You're a young female camel, racing around everywhere.
24 iyo dameerdibadeed cidlada baratay, oo iyadoo orgoonaysa dabaysha ursanaysa. Yaa damaceeda ka celin kara? Oo kuwa iyada doonaya oo dhammuna isma ay daalin doonaan, waayo, iyaday bisheeda heli doonaan.
You're a female donkey living in the desert, sniffing the wind for a mate because she's in heat. No one can control her at mating time. All those who're looking for her won't have trouble finding her when she's in heat.
25 Cagahaaga kabola'aan ka dhawr, oo hungurigaagana harraad ka dhawr, laakiinse waxaad tidhi, Rajo ma leh innaba, waayo, waxaan jeclaaday shisheeyayaal, oo iyagaan iska daba gelayaa.
You don't have to run around barefoot or have your throat go dry. But you reply, “No, it's impossible! I'm in love with foreign gods—I must go to them.”
26 Siduu tuug markii la qabto u ceeboobo oo kale ayay reer binu Israa'iil u ceeboobeen, iyaga, iyo boqorradooda, iyo amiirradooda, iyo wadaaddadooda, iyo nebiyadooduba,
In the same way that a thief feels guilty when they're caught, so the people of Israel have been shamed. All of them—their kings, their officials, their priests, and their prophets.
27 kuwaasoo geed ku yidhaahda, Waxaad tahay aabbahay, oo dhagaxna ku yidhaahda, Adigaa i dhalay. Dhabarkay ii soo jeediyeen, wejigiina way iga sii jeediyeen, laakiinse wakhtigii ay dhibaataysan yihiin waxay i odhan doonaan, Kac oo na badbaadi.
They say to an idol made of wood, “You are my father,” and one made of stone, “You gave birth to me.” They turn their backs on me, and hide their faces from me. But when they're in trouble they come begging to me, saying, “Please come and save us!”
28 Laakiinse meeye ilaahyadaadii aad samaysatay? Iyagu ha keceen hadday ku badbaadin karaan wakhtigii aad dhibaataysan tahay, waayo, dadka Yahuudah ahow, ilaahyadiinnu waxay tiro le'eg yihiin magaalooyinkiinna.
So where are these “gods” of yours that you made for yourselves? Let them come and help you when you're in trouble! Let them save you if they can, because you Israelites have as many gods as you have towns.
29 Sidaas daraaddeed Rabbigu wuxuu leeyahay, Bal maxaad iila muddacaysaan? Waayo, idinku kulligiin waad iga gudubteen.
Why are you complaining to me? It's all of you who have all rebelled against me! declares the Lord.
30 Anigu waxtarla'aan baan carruurtiinnii u dilay, iyaguse innaba kuma ay waano qaadan. Seeftiinnii ayaa nebiyadiinnii baabbi'isay sidii libaax wax baabbi'inaya oo kale.
It was pointless of me to punish your children because they refused to accept any discipline. You used your own swords to kill your prophets, destroying them like a ferocious lion.
31 Dadka qarniganow, bal erayga Rabbiga ka fiirsada. Reer binu Israa'iil ma waxaan u ahaa cidlo ama dal gudcur ah? Haddaba bal maxaa dadkaygu u yidhaahdaan, Xor baannu nahay, oo mar dambe kuu iman mayno?
You people of today, think about what the Lord is saying: Israel, have I treated you like an empty desert, or a land of thick darkness? Why are my people saying, “We can go where we like! We don't have to come and worship you any more”?
32 Gabadhu miyey illoobi kartaa wixii ay isku sharaxdo, aroosadduse miyey illoobi kartaa wixii ay xidhato? Laakiinse dadkaygu waxay i illoobeen maalmo badan oo aan la tirin karin.
Does a girl forget her jewelry or a bride her wedding dress? Yet my people have forgotten me for too many years to count.
33 Sidee baad jidkaaga u hagaajisaa markaad caashaq doondoonto? Sidaas daraaddeed xataa naagaha xunxunna jidadkaagaad bartay.
How cleverly you look for your lovers! Even prostitutes could learn something from you!
34 Oo weliba darfaha dharkaagana waxaa laga helaa dhiiggii masaakiinta aan xaqa qabin, sababtuna ma aha inaad heshay iyagoo guriga dhacaya, laakiinse waa waxyaalahaas oo dhan daraaddood.
On top of that, your clothes are stained with the blood of the poor and the innocent. It's not like you killed them breaking into your homes. Despite all this,
35 Oo weliba waxaad istidhaahdaa, Anigu xaq ma qabo. Sida xaqiiqada ah cadhadiisu way iga noqotay. Bal ogow, anigu waan kula muddici doonaaye, maxaa yeelay, waxaad tidhaahdaa, Anigu ma aan dembaabin.
you go on saying, “I'm innocent! Surely he can't still be upset with me!” Watch out! I'm going to punish you because you go on saying, “I haven't sinned.”
36 Maxaad u warwareegtaa si aad jidadkaaga u beddesho? Ceeb baa dalka Masar kaaga iman doonta siday dalka Ashuur kaaga timid oo kale.
You're just so fickle—you keep on changing your mind! You will end up just as disappointed by your alliance with Egypt as you were with Assyria.
37 Oo weliba isagana waad ka soo bixi doontaa, adigoo gacmahu madaxa kuu saaran yihiin, waayo, Rabbigu waa diiday kuwa aad ku kalsoon tahay oo dhan, oo iyaga innaba ku dhex liibaani maysid.
In fact you will go into exile with your hands on your head as prisoners, because the Lord will have nothing to do with those you trust; they will be no help to you.
