Yeremyaah 4
1 Rabbigu wuxuu leeyahay, Dadka Israa'iilow, haddaad soo noqotaan, waa inaad xaggayga u soo noqotaan, oo haddaad karaahiyadiinna hortayda ka fogaysaanna innaba laydin dhaqdhaqaajin maayo.
Yahweh says, “You Israeli [people], come back to me! If you get rid of those detestable idols and do not turn away from me [again],
2 Oo haddaad si run iyo caddaalad iyo xaqnimo ah ugu dhaarataan, Rabbigu waa nool yahay, de markaas quruumuhu isagay ku ducaysan doonaan, oo isagay ku faani doonaan.
and if you declare, ‘Just as surely as Yahweh lives, what he says is true,’ and if you [start to] always say what is true and act justly/fairly and righteously, then the [people in the other] nations [of the world] will request that I bless them [as I have blessed you], and they will [all come and] honor/praise me.”
3 Rabbigu wuxuu dadka dalka Yahuudah iyo reer Yeruusaalem ku leeyahay, Dhulkiinna jeexan jabsada, oo qodxan dhexdood waxba ha ku beeranina.
This is what Yahweh says to the people of Jerusalem and [the other cities in] Judah: “[Prepare yourselves to receive my messages] like farmers plow up hard ground [in order that they can plant seed in it]. Just as farmers do not [waste good seed by] sowing seeds among thorny plants, [I do not want to waste my time telling you messages that you are not ready to receive].
4 Raggiinna dalka Yahuudah iyo kuwa Yeruusaalem degganow, Rabbiga isu guda, oo iska gooya buuryada qalbigiinna, si ayan cadhadaydu u soo bixin sida dab oo kale, oo ayan u hurin si aan innaba loo demin karin sharka falimihiinna aawadiis.
Purify your inner beings and your minds for me. If you do not do that, my being angry with you [MTY] because of [all] the sins that you have committed will be like a fire that will be impossible to extinguish.”
5 Dalka Yahuudah ka dhex sheega, oo Yeruusaalem ka dhex naadiya, oo waxaad tidhaahdaan, War dalka dhexdiisa buunka ku dhufta, oo aad u qayliya, oo waxaad tidhaahdaan, Isa soo urursada, oo ina keena aynu magaalooyinka deyrka leh galnee.
“Declare this [DOU] to [all the people in] Jerusalem and [the rest of] Judea; blow the trumpets everywhere in the land [to warn the people]. Tell them that they should flee to the cities that have high walls around them.
6 Calan u taaga xagga Siyoon, carara oo ha joogsanina, waayo, anigu waxaan xagga woqooyi ka keeni doonaa masiibo iyo halligaad weyn.
Shout to the people of Jerusalem, ‘Run away [now]! Do not delay, because I am about to cause you to experience a terrible disaster [DOU] that will come from the north.
7 Libaax baa ka soo baxay jiqdiisa, quruumo baabbi'iyihiina wuu soo kacay, oo wuxuu meeshiisii uga soo baxay inuu dalkaaga cidlo ka dhigo, oo magaalooyinkaagana waa la baabbi'in doonaa, oo qofna ma degganaan doono.
[An army] that has destroyed [many] nations will attack you [like] [MET] a lion that comes out of its den [to attack other animals]. [The soldiers of that army] have taken down their tents and they are ready to march toward your land. They will destroy your cities and leave them without any people still living in them.’
8 Taas aawadeed dhar joonyad ah guntada, oo baroorta, oo qayliya, waayo, cadhadii Rabbiga oo kululayd nagama noqon.
So, put on sackcloth/rough clothes and weep and beat your chests [to show that you are very sorry for what you have done], because Yahweh is still very angry with us.
9 Oo Rabbigu wuxuu leeyahay, Waxaa maalintaas noqon doona in boqorka qalbigiisa iyo amiirrada qalbigooduba ay kharribmaan, oo wadaaddaduna way yaabi doonaan, oo nebiyaduna way fajici doonaan.
Yahweh said that at the time [he punishes you], the King of Judah and [all his] officials will be very afraid. The priests and the prophets will be terrified.
10 Markaasaan idhi, Sayidow, Rabbiyow, sida xaqiiqada ah dadkan iyo Yeruusaalemba aad iyo aad baad u khiyaanaysay, waayo, iyagoo seefi naftooda soo gaadhaysa ayaad ku tidhaahdaa, Nabad baad helaysaan.
Then I replied, “Yahweh [my] God, you completely deceived the people by telling them that there would be peace in Jerusalem, but now [our enemies] [PRS] are ready to slaughter us with their swords!”
11 Oo wakhtigaas waxaa dadkan iyo Yeruusaalemba lagu odhan doonaa, Dadkayga dabayl kulul ayaa uga iman doonta xagga meelaha dhaadheer ee cidlada ku yaal, mana ahaan doonto mid wax haadinaysa amase wax safaynaysa,
When that happens, [Yahweh] will say to the people of Jerusalem, [“A huge army will come to attack you]. They will not [be like a gentle breeze that] separates wheat from chaff. [They will be like] a very hot wind [that blows in] from the desert [MET].
12 laakiinse waxay ahaan doontaa dabayl xoog badan oo amarkayga ku imanaysa, oo weliba haatan anigu xukunkoodii waan ku hadli doonaa.
[They will be like] [MET] a strong blast that I will send. Now I am declaring that I will punish/destroy you.”
13 Bal eega, isagu wuxuu u iman doonaa sida daruur oo kale, oo gaadhifardoodyadiisuna waxay ahaan doonaan sida dabayl cirwareen ah oo kale, oo fardihiisuna xataa gorgorrada way ka sii dheereeyaan. Annagaa hoognay! Waayo, waannu baabba'nay.
[Our enemies] are about to rush down on us; their chariots are like [SIM] whirlwinds. Their horses are faster than eagles. It will be terrible for us!
14 Yeruusaalemay, qalbigaaga xumaanta ka maydh, si aad u badbaaddo aawadeed. Ilaa goormay fikirradaada sharka ahu kugu sii dhex jirayaan?
[You people of] Jerusalem [APO], purify your hearts/inner beings, in order that Yahweh will rescue you. How long will you continue to think about [doing] evil things?
15 Waayo, xagga Daan cod baa ka yeedhaya, oo buuraha Efrayimna belaayo baa laga naadiyaa.
From Dan [city in the far north] to the hills of Ephraim [a few miles/kilometers north of Jerusalem] messengers are proclaiming that disasters are coming.
16 Quruumaha u diga oo Yeruusaalem ogeysiiya in ilaallo ay dal fog ka imanayaan, oo ay magaalooyinkii dalka Yahuudah ku qaylinayaan.
Tell this to the [people in other] nations [but also] announce it in Jerusalem: [Yahweh says], “An army is coming to Jerusalem from far away; they will shout [a battle-cry] against the cities in Judah.
17 Rabbigu wuxuu leeyahay, Sida kuwa beer dhawraya ayay hareeraheeda kaga kacsan yihiin, maxaa yeelay, iyadu way igu caasiyowday.
They will set up tents around Jerusalem like people set up temporary shelters [SIM] around a field [at harvest time]. That will happen because the people of Judah have rebelled against me.
18 Jidkaaga iyo falimahaaga ayaa waxyaalahan kuu keenay, tanu waa belaayadaada, wayna qadhaadh tahay, oo waxay gaadhaysaa xataa ilaa qalbigaaga.
You will be punished very severely; it will [be as though a sword] has stabbed your inner beings. But you are causing those things to happen to you because of the evil things that you have done.”
19 Calooshaydiiyey, calooshaydiiyey! Aniga qalbigaa i xanuunaya, oo wadnahaa i fig leh. Iskamana aamusi karo, maxaa yeelay, naftaydiiyey, waxaad maqashay buunka dhawaaqiisii iyo qayladii dagaalka.
I am extremely anguished/sad; the pain in my inner being is very severe. My heart beats wildly. But I cannot remain silent because I have heard [our enemies] blowing their trumpets to announce that the battle [against Judah will start immediately].
20 Belaayo baa belaayay ku soo kor dhacday, ayaa lagu dhawaaqay, waayo, dalkii oo dhan waa baabba'ay. Teendhooyinkaygii haddiiba way baabbe'een, oo daahyadaydiina daqiiqad qudha ayay dhammaadeen.
Disasters will occur one after another until the whole land is ruined. Suddenly [all] our tents will be destroyed; [even] the curtains [inside the tents] will be ripped apart.
21 Ilaa goormaan calanka arkayaa, oo aan buunka dhawaaqiisa sii maqlayaa?
How long will this battle continue? How long will I continue to see the enemy battle flags and hear the sound of their trumpets being blown?
22 Waayo, dadkaygu waa nacasyo, oo aniga ima ay yaqaaniin. Iyagu waa carruur caqlidaran, oo innaba waxgarasho ma leh. Inay xumaan sameeyaan way u caqli badan yihiin, laakiinse inay samaan sameeyaan innaba aqoon uma leh.
[Yahweh says], “My people are [very] foolish! They do not have a relationship with me. They are [like] [MET] stupid children who do not understand [anything]. They very cleverly do what is wrong, but they do not know how to do what is good.”
23 Bal eega, dhulkaan fiiriyey, oo waxaan arkay inuusan qaab lahayn oo uu madhan yahay, oo haddana samooyinkaan fiiriyey, oo iyana innaba iftiin ma ay lahayn.
[God gave me a vision in which] I saw that the earth was barren and without form. I looked at the sky, and there was no light there.
24 Buurahaan fiiriyey, oo waxaan arkay inay gariirayeen, oo kurihii oo dhammuna way wada dhaqdhaqaaqayeen.
I looked at the mountains and hills, and they shook and moved from side to side.
25 Oo haddana wax baan fiiriyey, oo ninna ma jirin, oo haaddii hawada oo dhammuna way wada carareen.
I looked and saw that there were no [more] people, and all the birds had flown away.
26 Oo haddana wax baan fiiriyey, oo waxaan arkay dhulkii midhaha badnaa oo abaaroobay, oo magaalooyinkeedii oo dhammuna Rabbiga hortiisa ayay ku dundunsanaayeen cadhadiisii kululayd daraaddeed.
I looked and saw that the fields that previously were fertile had become a desert. The cities were all ruined; they had all been destroyed by Yahweh because he was extremely angry.
27 Waayo, Rabbigu wuxuu leeyahay, Dalka oo dhammu wuu cidloobi doonaa, laakiinse anigu kulligiis wada baabbi'in maayo.
This is what Yahweh is saying: “The entire land [of Judah] will be ruined, but I will not destroy it completely.
28 Taas aawadeed dhulku wuu u barooran doonaa, oo samooyinka sarena way u madoobaan doonaan, maxaa yeelay, waxan anigaa ku hadlay, oo anigaa u qasdiyey, oo innaba ka qoomamoon maayo, kana soo noqon maayo marnaba.
I will do to my people what I said that I would do, and I will not change my mind. So [when that happens, it will be as though] the earth will mourn and the sky will become very dark.”
29 Magaalada oo dhammu waxay ka qixi doontaa qaylada fardoleyda iyo qaansoleyda, oo jiqday ku carari doonaan, dhagaxyada dushoodana way fuuli doonaan, magaalo kastana waa laga tegi doonaa, oo nin qudhuhuna ma degganaan doono.
[When the people hear] the sound of the [enemy] army marching, [they will be terrified as] they flee from their cities. Some of them will find places to hide in the bushes, and others will run toward the mountains/hills [to escape being killed by their enemies]. All the cities [in Judah] will be abandoned; not one person will remain in them.
30 Oo markii lagu dhoco bal maxaad samayn doontaa? In kastoo aad dhar guduudan xidhatid, iyo in kastoo aad dahab isku sharraxdid, iyo in kastoo aad indhakuul iska badisidba, waxtarla'aan baad isu qurxinaysaa, waayo, kuwii ku caashaqi jiray way ku wada quudhsadaan, oo waxay doonayaan inay nafta kaa qaadaan.
So you who will surely be destroyed, [why are you doing the things that you are doing now]? Why are you wearing beautiful clothes and jewelry? Why are you putting paint around your eyes? Doing those things will not help you, because the people [in other countries that you think] love you [actually] despise you, and they will try to kill you.
31 Waayo, waxaan maqlay cod sidii naag foolanaysa, iyo qaylo sidii mid ilmaheedii ugu horreeyey dhalaysa, waana codkii magaalada Siyoon, oo taahaysa, oo gacmaheeda kala fidisa, oo waxay tidhaahdaa, anigaa haatan hoogay! Waayo, naftaydii aad bay ugu daallan tahay gacankudhiiglayaasha aawadood.
[It is as though] I already hear [the people in Jerusalem] crying very loudly, like [SIM] a woman cries when she is giving birth to her first child; she gasps for breath and pleads for someone to help her. [It is as though Jerusalem] is crying, “Something terrible is happening to me! They are about to murder me!”
