Yeremyaah 21

1 Kanu waa eraygii Yeremyaah xagga Rabbiga uga yimid, markii Boqor Sidqiyaah uu isaga u soo diray Fashxuur ina Malkiiyaah, iyo Safanyaah ina Macaseeyaah oo wadaadka ahaa, isagoo leh,

This is the message that came to Jeremiah from the Lord when King Zedekiah sent Pashhur, son of Malchijah, and the priest Zephaniah, son of Maaseiah to talk with him. They said,

2 Waan ku baryayaaye, bal Rabbiga wax noo weyddii, waayo, Nebukadresar oo ah boqorkii Baabuloon ayaa nala diriraya. Waxaa suurtowda in Rabbigu nagula macaamiloodo shuqulladiisa yaabka badan oo dhan, si uu cadowgu nooga noqdo.

“Please speak with Lord on our behalf because Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon is attacking us. Perhaps the Lord will do some miracle for us like all those miracles he used to do, so that Nebuchadnezzar will retreat from us.”

3 Markaas Yeremyaah wuxuu iyagii ku yidhi, Waxaad Sidqiyaah ku tidhaahdaan:

But Jeremiah replied, “Tell Zedekiah this:

4 Rabbiga ah Ilaaha reer binu Israa'iil wuxuu leeyahay, Bal ogow, dib baan u celin doonaa hubka dagaalka ee gacantiinna ku jira ee aad kula diriraysaan boqorka Baabuloon, iyo reer Kaldayiinka derbiyada dibaddooda idinku hareeraynaya, oo iyagaan magaaladan dhexdeeda ku soo ururin doonaa.

This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: I'm going to turn the weapons you're holding against you, the weapons you're using to fight the king of Babylon and the Babylonian army outside the wall besieging you. I'm going to bring them right into the center of this city.

5 Oo aniga qudhaydu waxaan idinkula diriri doonaa gacan fidsan iyo cudud xoog badan, anoo xanaaqsan oo cadhaysan oo aad u dhirifsan.

I myself will fight against you with all my power and might, with the full force of my furious anger.

6 Oo wax baan ku dhufan doonaa waxa magaaladan deggan, dad iyo duunyaba, oo waxay ku le'an doonaan belaayo weyn.

I will kill those living in this city, human beings and animals. They will die from a terrible plague.

7 Oo waxaa Rabbigu leeyahay, Dabadeed Sidqiyaah oo ah boqorka dalka Yahuudah, iyo addoommadiisa, iyo dadka oo ah intii magaaladan ku hadhay oo belaayada, iyo seefta, iyo abaartaba ka caymatay, waxaan gelin doonaa gacanta Nebukadresar oo ah boqorka Baabuloon, iyo gacanta cadaawayaashooda, iyo gacanta kuwa naftooda doondoonaya, oo isna seef buu ku layn doonaa, oo innaba uma tudhi doono, umana nixi doono, umana naxariisan doono.

After that, declares the Lord, I'm going to hand you over, Zedekiah king of Judah, as well as your officers and the people who are left in this city after the plague and war and famine, to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon and to your enemies who want you dead. He will attack you; he won't spare you or show you any pity or mercy.

8 Oo dadkanna waxaad ku tidhaahdaa, Rabbigu wuxuu leeyahay, Bal ogaada, waxaan idin hor dhigayaa jidka nolosha iyo jidka geerida.

Tell the people this as well: This is what the Lord says: Look, I'm placing before you the path of life and the path of death.

9 Kii magaaladan sii joogaaba wuxuu ku dhiman doonaa seef, iyo abaar, iyo belaayo, laakiinse kii baxa oo reer Kaldayiinka idin hareeraynaya u galaa wuu noolaan doonaa, oo naftiisu waxay isaga u ahaan doontaa sida booli oo kale.

If you stay in this city you'll die either by sword and famine and plague, but if you leave and surrender to the Babylonians who are besieging you, you will live. In fact it will be like gaining your life as plunder from a war.

10 Waayo, Rabbigu wuxuu leeyahay, Wejigaygaan magaaladan ugu jeediyey inaan masiibo ku sameeyo ee ma aha wanaag. Waxay gacanta u geli doontaa boqorka Baabuloon, oo isna dab buu ku gubi doonaa.

For I am determined to bring disaster on this city, and not blessings, declares the Lord. It will be handed over to the king of Babylon, who will destroy it with fire.

11 Erayga Rabbiga ee ku saabsan reerka boqorka dalka Yahuudah maqla.

In addition tell the royal family of the king of Judah to listen to the Lord's message:

12 Rabbigu wuxuu leeyahay, Reer Daa'uudow, aroortii caddaalad sameeya, oo kii la dhacay kii dulmay ka samatabbixiya, si ayan cadhadaydu u soo bixin sidii dab oo kale, oo ayan u hurin si aan innaba loo demin sharka falimihiinna aawadiis.

Descendants of David, this is what the Lord says: Make sure you judge fairly every day. Protect those who are being unjustly treated from those corrupt people, otherwise because of their evil actions my anger will blaze out like fire that can't be put out.

13 Rabbigu wuxuu leeyahay, Ogaada, col baan idinla ahay, kuwiinna dooxada iyo dhagaxa bannaanka deggan ee yidhaahda, Bal yaa nagu soo dhaadhici kara, amase yaa rugtayada soo geli kara?

Watch out, because I'm going to fight against you people who live above the valley on top of a flat rock, declares the Lord. You say, ‘Who can attack us? Who can break down our defenses?’

14 Rabbigu wuxuu leeyahay, Anigu waxaan idiin ciqaabi doonaa siday midhaha falimihiinnu ahaayeen, oo dab baan kaynta oo dhan ku dayn doonaa, oo wuxuu baabbi'in doonaa waxyaalaha hareeraha ku yaal oo dhan.

I'm going to punish you as you deserve for what you've done, declares the Lord. I will set your forest on fire and it will burn up everything around you.”
