Yeremyaah 29

1 Haddaba kuwanu waa erayadii warqaddii uu Nebi Yeremyaah Yeruusaalem uga diray kuwii hadhay ee waayeelladii maxaabiisnimadii iyo wadaaddadii, iyo nebiyadii, iyo dadkii uu Nebukadnesar Yeruusaalem maxaabiis ahaanta uga kaxaystay oo uu Baabuloon la tegey oo dhan.

And these are the words of the letter which Jeremiah, the prophet, sent from Jerusalem to the remnant of the elders of the transmigration, and to the priests, and to the prophets, and to all the people, whom Nebuchadnezzar had led away from Jerusalem to Babylon,

2 (Taasu waxay ahayd markii Boqor Yekonyaah, iyo boqoraddii hooyadiis ahayd, iyo bohommadii, iyo amiirradii dadka Yahuudah iyo Yeruusaalem, iyo saanacyadii, iyo birtumayaashiiba ay Yeruusaalem ka tageen dabadeed.)

after king Jeconiah, with the queen, and the eunuchs, and the leaders of Judah and of Jerusalem, and the craftsmen and engravers, had departed from Jerusalem.

3 Oo wuxuu ugu sii dhiibay gacantii Elcaasaah ina Shaafaan, iyo Gemaryaah ina Xilqiyaah (oo uu boqorkii dalka Yahuudah oo Sidqiyaah ahaa uu u diray Baabuloon iyo ilaa Nebukadnesar oo ahaa boqorkii Baabuloon, ) isagoo leh,

It was sent by the hand of Elasah, the son of Shaphan, and by Gemariah, the son of Hilkiah, whom Zedekiah, the king of Judah, sent to Babylon to Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, saying:

4 Rabbiga ciidammada oo ah Ilaaha reer binu Israa'iil wuxuu leeyahay, kuwii maxaabiis ahaanta loo kaxaystay oo dhan, oo aan ka yeelay in Yeruusaalem laga kaxaysto oo Baabuloon lala tago, waxaan idinku leeyahay,

“Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, to all who have been taken away, whom I have caused to be transferred from Jerusalem to Babylon:

5 Guryo dhista, oo ku hoyda, oo beero beerta, oo midhahoodana cuna.

Build houses and live in them. And plant gardens, and eat from their fruit.

6 Naago guursada, oo wiilal iyo gabdho dhala, oo wiilashiinnana naago u guuriya, oo gabdhihiinnana niman siiya, si ay iyaguna wiilal iyo gabdho u dhalaan, oo halkaasna ku tarma oo ha yaraanina.

Take wives, and conceive sons and daughters. And give wives to your sons, and give your daughters to husbands, and let them bear sons and daughters. And be multiplied there, and do not choose to be few in number.

7 Oo waxaad nabad u doondoontaan magaaladii aan idinka yeelay in laydiin kaxaysto idinkoo maxaabiis ah, oo iyada Rabbiga u barya, waayo, idinku nabaddeeda ayaad nabad ku heli doontaan.

And seek the peace of the city, to which I have caused you to be taken away, and pray to the Lord on its behalf. For your peace will be in its peace.

8 Waayo, Rabbiga ciidammada oo ah Ilaaha reer binu Israa'iil wuxuu leeyahay, Nebiyadiinna iyo waxsheegyadiinna idin dhex joogaa yaanay idin khiyaanayn, oo idinku innaba ha dhegaysanina riyooyinkiinna aad ku riyootaan.

For thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: Do not allow your prophets and your diviners, who are in your midst, to seduce you. And you should pay no attention to your dreams, which you are dreaming.

9 Waayo, magacaygay wax been ah idiinku sii sheegaan, laakiinse Rabbigu wuxuu leeyahay, Anigu iyaga sooma aan dirin.

For they prophesy falsely to you in my name, and I have not sent them, says the Lord.

10 Waayo, Rabbigu wuxuu leeyahay, Markii toddobaatan sannadood Baabuloon loo dhammeeyo dabadeed ayaan idin soo booqon doonaa, oo waxaan idiin oofin doonaa eraygaygii wanaagsanaa, oo halkan dib baan idiinku soo celin doonaa.

For thus says the Lord: When the seventy years will begin to be completed in Babylon, I will visit you. And I will raise up over you my good word, so that I may lead you back to this place.

11 Waayo, Rabbigu wuxuu leeyahay, Anigu waan garanayaa fikirrada aan idiinku fikiro, waana fikirro nabadeed, oo ma aha kuwa masiibeed, si aan ugudambaystiinna rajo idiin siiyo.

For I know the thoughts that I think over you, says the Lord: thoughts of peace and not of affliction, so that I may give you patience and an end.

12 Oo markaasaad ii yeedhan doontaan, waanad i soo baryi doontaan, oo aniguna waan idin maqli doonaa.

And you shall call upon me, and you shall go forth. And you shall pray to me, and I will heed you.

13 Oo waad i doondooni doontaan, waanad i heli doontaan markaad qalbigiinna oo dhan igu doondoontaan.

You shall seek me. And you will find me, when you have sought me with your whole heart.

14 Oo Rabbigu wuxuu leeyahay, Waad i heli doontaan, oo maxaabiisahaantiinnana waan idinka celin doonaa, oo waxaan idinka soo wada ururin doonaa quruumaha oo dhan iyo meelihii aan idin kexeeyey oo dhan ayaa Rabbigu leeyahay, oo waxaan idinku soo celin doonaa meeshii aan ka dhigay in maxaabiis ahaan laydinkaga kaxaysto.

And I will be found by you, says the Lord. And I will lead you back from your captivity. And I will gather you from all the nations and all the places, to which I have expelled you, says the Lord. And I will return you from the place to which I sent you into captivity.

15 Maxaa yeelay, idinku waxaad tidhaahdeen, Rabbiga ayaa Baabuloon nebiyo nooga dhex kiciyey.

For you have said: ‘The Lord has raised up prophets for us in Babylon.’

16 Rabbigu wuxuu ka leeyahay boqorka carshigii Daa'uud ku fadhiya iyo dadka magaaladan deggan oo dhan, Walaalihiinnii aan maxaabiis ahaan laydiinla kaxaysan,

For thus says the Lord, to the king who sits upon the throne of David, and to all the people who live in this city, to your brothers who have not departed with you in the transmigration:

17 Rabbiga ciidammadu wuxuu ka leeyahay, Bal ogaada, waxaan korkooda ku soo dayn doonaa seef, iyo abaar, iyo belaayo, oo waxaan iyaga ka dhigi doonaa sida midho berde oo qudhmay oo xumaantooda aawadeed aan innaba la cuni karin.

Thus says the Lord of hosts: Behold, I will send among them the sword, and famine, and pestilence. And I will make them like the bad figs, which cannot be eaten, because they are very bad.

18 Oo waxaan iyaga ku eryan doonaa seef iyo abaar iyo belaayo, oo waxaan ka dhigi doonaa inay boqortooyooyinka dunida oo dhan ku dhex rogrogmadaan hor iyo dib, oo ay inkaar iyo wax laga yaabo oo lagu foodhyo, iyo cay ku dhex noqdaan quruumaha aan u kexeeyey oo dhan,

And I will pursue them with the sword, and with famine, and with pestilence. And I will give them over to affliction, amid all the kingdoms of the earth: as a curse, and in stupor, and with hissing, and as a disgrace among all the nations to which I have driven them out.

19 maxaa yeelay, iyagu ma ay dhegaysan erayadaydii aan iyaga ugu soo dhiibay nebiyadii addoommadayda ahaa, anigoo goor wanaagsan soo diraya, laakiinse waad maqli weydeen, ayaa Rabbigu leeyahay.

For they have not listened to my words, says the Lord, which I sent to them through my servants, the prophets, rising while it was still night, and sending. But you have not listened, says the Lord.

20 Haddaba maxaabiistii aan Yeruusaalem ka diray oo aan Baabuloon u kexeeyey, bal erayga Rabbiga maqla.

Therefore, listen to the word of the Lord, all you of the transmigration, whom I have sent away from Jerusalem into Babylon.

21 Rabbiga ciidammada oo ah Ilaaha reer binu Israa'iil wuxuu leeyahay, Axaab ina Qoolaayaah iyo Sidqiyaah ina Macaseeyaah oo magacayga been idiinku sii sheega, bal ogaada iyaga waxaan gelin doonaa gacanta Nebukadresar oo ah boqorka Baabuloon, oo isna indhihiinna hortooda ayuu iyaga ku dili doonaa.

Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, to Ahab, the son of Kolaiah, and to Zedekiah, the son of Maaseiah, who prophesy falsely to you in my name: Behold, I will deliver them into the hands of Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, and he will strike them down before your eyes.

22 Oo maxaabiista dadka Yahuudah oo Baabuloon joogta oo dhammu way habaartami doonaan iyagoo leh, Rabbigu ha kaa dhigo sidii Sidqiyaah iyo sidii Axaab ee uu boqorka Baabuloon dabka ku dubay oo kale,

And a curse will be taken up about them, by all the captives of Judah that are in Babylon, saying: ‘May the Lord make you like Zedekiah, and like Ahab, whom the king of Babylon fried in the fire!’

23 maxaa yeelay, nacasnimo ayay dalka Israa'iil ku dhex sameeyeen, oo weliba naagihii derisyadooda ayay ka sinaysteen, oo erayo been ah oo aanan iyaga ku soo amrin ayay magacayga ku hadleen. Anigu kan og baan ahay, oo markhaati baan ka ahay, ayaa Rabbigu leeyahay.

For they have acted foolishly in Israel, and they have committed adultery with the wives of their friends, and they have spoken lying words in my name, which I did not command them. I am the Judge and the Witness, says the Lord.

24 Oo weliba Shemacyaah oo ah reer Nexlaamiina waxaad ku tidhaahdaa,

And to Shemaiah of Nehelam, you shall say:

25 Rabbiga ciidammada oo ah Ilaaha reer binu Israa'iil wuxuu leeyahay, Adigu waxaad warqado magacaaga ugu soo dirtay dadka Yeruusaalem jooga oo dhan, iyo Sefanyaah ina Macaseeyaah oo wadaadka ah, iyo wadaaddada oo dhanba,

Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: Similarly, you have sent letters in your name to all the people that are in Jerusalem, and to Zephaniah, the son of Maaseiah, the priest, and to all the priests, saying:

26 oo waxaad tidhi, Rabbigu wadaad buu kaaga dhigay meeshii wadaadkii Yehooyaadaac inaad saraakiil u noqotaan guriga Rabbiga iyo inaad xabsi ku riddid oo aad silsilado ku xidhid nin kasta oo waalan oo nebi iska dhigaba.

‘The Lord has made you priest in place of Jehoiada, the priest, so that you would be the ruler in the house of the Lord over every man who raves and prophesies, to send him to the stocks and to prison.

27 Haddaba bal maxaad u canaanan weyday Yeremyaah oo ah reer Canaatood oo nebi isaga kaa dhigaya?

And now why have you not rebuked Jeremiah of Anathoth, who prophesies to you?

28 Waayo, isagu cid buu noogu soo diray Baabuloon, oo wuxuu yidhi, Maxaabiisnimadiinnu waa muddo dheer, haddaba guryo dhista, oo ku hoyda, oo beero beerta, oo midhahoodana cuna.

For about this, he has sent to us in Babylon, saying: It is a long time. Build houses and live in them. And plant gardens, and eat from their fruits.’”

29 Oo wadaadkii Sefanyaah ahaa ayaa warqaddaas ku akhriyey Nebi Yeremyaah hortiisa.

Thus, Zephaniah, the priest, read this letter, in the hearing of Jeremiah the prophet.

30 Markaasaa eraygii Rabbigu ku soo degay Yeremyaah, isagoo leh,

And the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah, saying:

31 Kuwa maxaabiista ah oo dhan u cid dir oo waxaad ku tidhaahdaa, Rabbigu wuxuu Shemacyaah oo ah reer Nexlaamii ka leeyahay, Shemacyaah wax buu idiin sii sheegay, aniguse sooma aan dirin, oo wuxuu idinka dhigay inaad been isku hallaysaan,

“Send to all those of the transmigration, saying: Thus says the Lord to Shemaiah of Nehelam: Because Shemaiah has prophesied to you, though I did not send him, and because he has caused you to trust in a lie:

32 sidaas daraaddeed Rabbigu wuxuu leeyahay, Bal ogaada, Shemacyaah oo ah reer Nexlaamii iyo farcankiisaba waan ciqaabi doonaa. Isagu ma uu yeelan doono nin qudha oo dadkan dhex deggan, oo wanaagga aan dadkayga u samayn doonona isagu ma uu arki doono, maxaa yeelay, wuxuu ku hadlay caasinimo Rabbiga ka gees ah, ayaa Rabbigu leeyahay.

For this reason, thus says the Lord: Behold, I will visit upon Shemaiah of Nehelam, and upon his offspring. There will not be, for him, even one man sitting in the midst of this people. And he will not see the good that I will accomplish for my people, says the Lord. For he has spoken a betrayal against the Lord.”
