Yeremyaah 3
1 Waxaa la yidhaahdaa, Haddii nin naagtiisa iska furo, oo ay ka tagto isaga, oo ay nin kale naagtiis noqoto, kii qabi jiray miyuu iyada u soo noqdaa? Miyaan dalkaasu aad u nijaasoobayn? Laakiinse adigu waxaad ka dhillaysatay saaxiibbo badan, oo haddana miyaad ii soo noqon doontaa? ayaa Rabbigu leeyahay.
“[Moses wrote that] if a man divorces his wife and then she marries another man, her first husband certainly must not [RHQ] take her back again [to be his wife], because that would certainly [RHQ] cause the whole nation to become unacceptable to me. But you have more [idols than] prostitutes have men whom they have slept with! So, [why should I accept you if] you return to me?” [RHQ] says Yahweh.
2 Bal indhaha kor u qaad oo waxaad fiirisaa meelaha dhaadheer, oo bal eeg. Miyey jirtaa meel aan lagula seexan? Adoo iyaga sugaya ayaad jidadka ag fadhiisatay sidii Carab cidlada jooga, oo waxaad dalkii ku nijaasaysay dhillanimadaada iyo sharkaagaba.
“Look up at the barren hilltops. On every hilltop there are [RHQ] [idols that you have worshiped]. [It is as though] they are all lovers with whom you have had sex. [It is as though] you have sat along the roadsides like an Arab, waiting [to attack and steal things from] those who pass by. Because of worshiping idols and all the other wicked things that you have done, you have caused the [entire] land to become unacceptable to me.
3 Sidaas daraaddeed tiixyadii waa la joojiyey, oo roobkii dambena waa la waayay, weliba waxaad yeelatay dhillo jaaheed, oo inaad xishootana waad diidday.
That is why I have not sent you any rain at the times of the year when you needed it. But you are like prostitutes [MET] who are not at all ashamed [for what they have done].
4 Haatan sow iguma qayshan, Aabbahayow, adigu waxaad tahay saaxiibkii yaraantaydii?
Now each of you says to me, ‘You are my father! You have loved me ever since I was young!
5 Miyuu weligiisba sii cadhaysnaan doonaa? Oo miyuu cadhadiisa ilaa ugudambaysta sii haysanayaa? Bal eeg, waxaad ku hadashay oo samaysay waxyaalo shar ah in alla intii aad kartayba.
So surely you will not [RHQ] be angry with me forever!’ But you will not quit sinning!”
6 Weliba wakhtigii Boqor Yoosiyaah Rabbigu wuxuu kaloo igu yidhi, War miyaad aragtay waxa boqortooyadii Israa'iil ee dib u noqotay ay samaysay? Iyadu waxay tagtay buur kasta oo dheer dusheed iyo geed kasta oo doog ah hoostiis, oo halkaasay ku dhillowday.
[One day] when Josiah was the king of Judah, Yahweh said to me, “Have you seen what the people of Israel have done? They have turned away from me, like a woman who has abandoned her husband and sleeps with other men. They have gone up on every hilltop and under every big tree and worshiped idols there [MET].
7 Oo iyadu markay waxyaalahaas oo dhan samaysay dabadeed ayaan waxaan is-idhi, Way ii soo noqon doontaa, laakiinse iyadu sooma noqon. Oo walaasheedii boqortooyadii Yahuudah oo sirreyda ahaydna waxaas way aragtay.
I thought that they would return to me, so I said to them, ‘Come back to me!’ But they refused. So I sent them away [to other countries, like a man] writes a note saying that he is divorcing his wife and then sends his wife away because she has committed adultery [MET].
8 Boqortooyadii Israa'iil ee dib u noqotay way sinaysatay, oo taas daraaddeed ayaan iyadii furay oo waxaan siiyey warqaddii furniinkeeda, oo waxaan arkay in walaasheedii Yahuudah oo sirreyda ahayd innaba aanay weli cabsan, laakiinse iyana ay tagtay oo dhillowday.
The people of Judah saw what I did to them. But they are just like the people of Israel. They are not afraid [of what I will do to them]. They also [have turned away from me and are worshiping idols like] women who abandon their husbands and go to other men [MET].
9 Oo waxay noqotay inuu dalkii ku nijaasoobay fudaydkii dhillanimadeeda, oo iyana way ka sinaysatay dhagxan iyo geedo.
They thought that worshiping idols did not matter to me, so they have made the [entire] land unacceptable to me by worshiping idols of wood and stone.
10 Oo Rabbigu wuxuu leeyahay, Walaasheedii Yahuudah oo sirreyda ahayd in kastoo ay waxyaalahaas oo dhan aragtay haddana qalbigeeda oo dhan iiguma ay soo noqon, laakiinse waxay iigu soo noqotay si isyeelyeelid ah.
The people of Judah have pretended to return to me, but they have not really done that. [This is true because I], Yahweh, have said it.”
11 Oo haddana waxaa Rabbigu igu yidhi, Boqortooyadii Israa'iil ee dib u noqotay way iscaddaysay inay ka xaq badan tahay boqortooyada Yahuudah ee sirreyda ah.
Then Yahweh said to me, “The people of Israel have turned away from me, but what the people of Judah have done is worse.
12 Tag, oo erayadan xagga woqooyi u naadi, oo waxaad tidhaahdaa, Boqortooyada Israa'iil ee dib u noqotayay, soo noqo, maxaa yeelay, weji cadhaysan kugu eegi maayo, waayo, waan naxariis badnahay, oo cadhadaydana weligay sii haysan maayo, ayaa Rabbigu leeyahay.
So go and tell this to the people of Israel: ‘Yahweh says this to you Israeli people who have turned away from him: I am merciful. I will not continue to be angry with you forever. So return to me.
13 Waxaa keliya ood aqoonsataa xumaantaada, inaad Rabbiga Ilaahaaga ah ku xadgudubtay, iyo inaad geed kasta oo doog ah hoostiisa jidadkaaga ugu kala firdhisay shisheeyayaasha, iyo inaadan codkaygii addeecin, ayaa Rabbigu leeyahay.
But you must admit/say that you are guilty, and that you have rebelled against me, Yahweh, your God, that you have worshiped idols under big trees everywhere, and you have not obeyed me. You have turned away from me.
14 Carruurtii dib u noqotayay, soo noqda, waayo, waxaan ahay Sayidkiinnii, oo midkiin waxaan kala soo bixi doonaa magaalo, labana waxaan kaloo soo bixi doonaa qolo, oo waxaan idin keeni doonaa Siyoon, ayaa Rabbigu leeyahay.
But you belong to me. So I will take you, one from [each] city and two from [each] clan, and bring you [back] to Jerusalem [from the countries to which you were exiled].
15 Oo sida qalbigaygu jecel yahay waxaan idiin siin doonaa daajiyayaal, oo iyana waxay idinku daajin doonaan aqoon iyo waxgarasho.
[If you do that], I will appoint for you leaders with whom I am pleased, leaders who will guide you [well] because they will know and understand [what pleases me].
16 Rabbigu wuxuu leeyahay, Wakhtigaas markaad tarantaan oo aad dalka dhexdiisa ku badataan, waxay noqon doontaa inaan mar dambe la odhan, Sanduuqii axdiga Rabbiga, oo lagamana fikiri doono, lamana soo xusuusan doono, lamana soo booqan doono, oo mar dambena lama samayn doono.
And when you become very numerous [DOU] in your land, you will not need to talk about the Sacred Chest that contained the Ten Commandments. You will not think about it, and you will not want to make a new one.
17 Oo wakhtigaas waxaa Yeruusaalem lagu magacaabi doonaa carshigii Rabbiga, oo quruumaha oo dhammuna iyaday ugu soo wada ururi doonaan magaca Rabbiga oo Yeruusaalem yaal, oo iyana mar dambe ma ay daba geli doonaan caasinimada qalbigooda sharka ah.
At that time people will say, “Jerusalem is [the place where] Yahweh’s throne is.” [People from] all nations will come there to worship me. And they will no longer stubbornly do the evil things that they desire.
18 Oo wakhtigaas dadka Yahuudah waxay la socon doonaan dadka Israa'iil, oo iyagoo isa soo raaci doona ayay dalka woqooyi ka soo bixi doonaan, waxayna iman doonaan dalkii aan awowayaashiin dhaxalka u siiyey.
At that time you people [MTY] of Israel and the people of Judah will return from [being (exiled/forced to live) in] lands to the northeast. You will return to the land that I gave to your ancestors to belong to them [forever].
19 Waxaan idhi, Sidee baan wiilasha kuu dhex geeyaa, oo aan dal wacan kuu siiyaa, kaasoo ah dhaxalka ugu wanaagsan ee quruumaha? Oo haddana waxaan idhi, Waxaad igu yeedhi doontaan, Aabbahayow, oo igama aad jeesan doontaan.
You people of Israel, I wanted to accept you to be my children. I wanted to give you [this] delightful land. It is a land more desirable/pleasant than the land of any other nation! I wanted you to call me ‘father’, and I wanted you to never turn away from me.
20 Rabbigu wuxuu leeyahay, Reer binu Israa'iilow, sida xaqiiqada ah naag khaa'inad ahu siday ninkeeda uga tagto oo kale ayaad idinkuna khiyaano igula macaamilooteen.
But you have abandoned me like wives who have abandoned their husbands.’” [That is what] Yahweh said, and [I told it] to the people of Israel.
21 Cod baa ka yeedhaya meelaha dhaadheer dushooda, waana oohin iyo baryootankii dadka Israa'iil, waayo, jidkooday qalloociyeen, oo waxay iska illoobeen Rabbigii Ilaahooda ahaa.
People will hear a noise on the barren hilltops. It will be the noise made by people weeping and pleading [for God to be merciful to them]. They will be admitting/saying that they have forgotten Yahweh their God, and that they turned away from behaving as God wanted them to.
22 Carruurta dib u noqotayay, soo noqda, oo dibunoqoshadiinna ayaan bogsiin doonaa. Bal eeg, haatan waannu kuu nimid, waayo, waxaad tahay Rabbiga Ilaahayaga ah.
Yahweh will say to them, “You Israeli people, come back to me! [If you do that], I will cause you to never turn away from me again.” [The people will reply], “We are returning to you, because you are Yahweh, our God.
23 Sida runta ah waa rajo been ah in badbaadinta kuraha iyo buuraha badan laga sugo. Sida runta ah badbaadadii dadka Israa'iil waxay ka timaadaa Rabbiga Ilaahayaga ah.
We did not get any help from [the idols that we worshiped on] the hilltops; we did not get any help from making all that noise up there.
24 Laakiinse tan iyo yaraantayadii waxa ceebta ah ayaa baabba' ka dhigtay wixii awowayaashayo ku hawshoodeen oo dhan, xataa adhyahoodii iyo ishkinkoodii, iyo wiilashoodii iyo gabdhahoodiiba.
From the time when we were young, the shameful [god Baal] has taken away [from us] everything that our ancestors worked hard to acquire. He has taken away their flocks [of sheep] and herds [of cattle], their sons and their daughters.
25 Ceebtayada aannu la jiifsanno oo sharafdarradayaduna ha na dul saarnaato, waayo, tan iyo yaraantayadii iyo ilaa maantadan la joogo annaga iyo awowayaashayoba waxaannu ku dembaabnay Rabbiga Ilaahayaga ah, oo codkii Rabbiga Ilaahayaga ahna ma aannu addeecin.
So, now we should lie down feeling very ashamed [DOU], because we and our ancestors have sinned against Yahweh our God, and we have never obeyed him.”
