Yeremyaah 44
1 Kanu waa eraygii Yeremyaah u yimid oo ku saabsanaa Yuhuuddii dalka Masar degganayd, kuwaasoo degganaa Migdol, iyo Taxfanxees, iyo Nof, iyo dalka Fatroos, oo wuxuu ku yidhi,
[This is] the message that Yahweh gave me concerning the Jews who were living in [northern] Egypt—in Migdol, Tahpenes, and Memphis [cities], and in the Pathros [region in southern Egypt]:
2 Rabbiga ciidammada oo ah Ilaaha reer binu Israa'iil wuxuu leeyahay, Waad aragteen masiibadii aan Yeruusaalem iyo magaalooyinkii reer Yahuudah oo dhan ku dejiyey, oo bal eega, maantadan iyagu waa cidla, oo ciduna halkaas ma dhex deggana,
“This is what [I], the Commander of the armies of angels, the God whom [you] Israelis [say you belong to], say: ‘You saw the disaster that I caused [the people in] Jerusalem and the other towns in Judah to experience. Those towns are now ruined and deserted.
3 waana xumaantooda ay faleen oo ay igaga cadhaysiiyeen aawadeed markay tageen si ay foox ugu shidaan oo ay ugu adeegaan ilaahyo kale oo ayan iyaga iyo idinka iyo awowayaashiinnuba aqoon.
[That happened] because I was extremely angry with them on account of their being very wicked. They burned incense to other gods and worshiped them. They were gods that you [previously] did not know about, and your ancestors also [did not know about them].
4 Habase ahaatee nebiyadii addoommadayda ahaa oo dhan ayaan idiin soo diray, anigoo goor wanaagsan diraya, oo waxaan idhi, Ha samaynina waxan karaahiyada ah oo aan nebcahay.
Many times I sent my prophets who served me, to say to them, “Do not do those abominable things that I hate!”
5 Laakiinse ma ay maqlin oo dhegna uma ay dhigin inay xumaantooda ka soo noqdaan iyo inayan innaba ilaahyo kale foox u shidin.
But my people would not pay any attention [DOU] [to what I said to them]. They would not turn away from their wicked behavior, or stop burning incense to [worship/honor] other gods.
6 Oo sidaas daraaddeed ayaa cadhadaydii iyo xanaaqaygiiba waxay ku soo dheceen oo ay ku ololeen magaalooyinkii dalka Yahuudah iyo jidadkii Yeruusaalemba, oo iyana haatan waa cidla iyo baabba' siday maantadan tahay.
So I poured out my anger [MTY] on them. I punished people on the streets of Jerusalem and on the [other] towns in Judah. It caused those towns to be ruined and deserted, and they are still like that.’
7 Sidaas daraaddeed Rabbiga ah Ilaaha ciidammada oo ah Ilaaha reer binu Israa'iil wuxuu leeyahay, Bal maxaad sharkan weyn naftiinna ugu samaysaan, oo aad dalka Yahuudah uga sii baabbi'isaan rag, iyo naago, iyo carruur, iyo caanonuug, si aan ciduna idiinka hadhin?
So now [I], the Commander of the armies of angels, the God whom [you] Israelis [say you belong to], ask you: ‘Why are you causing yourselves to experience these disasters? [Do you not realize that because of what you are doing], soon there will be no more men or women or children or infants left among you [who have come here to Egypt] from Judah?
8 Waxaad igaga cadhaysiisaan shuqullada gacmihiinna idinkoo ilaahyo kale foox ugu shidaya dalka Masar oo aad u tagteen inaad degtaan, si laydiin wada baabbi'iyo oo aad quruumaha dunida oo dhan ugu dhex ahaataan inkaar iyo cay.
Why are you [RHQ] provoking me and causing me to be very angry by burning incense to the idols that you have made here in Egypt? [If you continue doing this, ] you will destroy yourselves, and you will cause yourselves to be people whom all the nations on the earth will curse and despise.
9 War miyaad illowdeen xumaantii awowayaashiin, iyo xumaantii boqorradii dalka Yahuudah, iyo xumaantii naagahooda, iyo xumaantiinnii, iyo xumaantii naagihiinna, oo ay dalka Yahuudah iyo jidadkii Yeruusaalemba ku dhex sameeyeen?
Have you forgotten [how I punished] your ancestors for the wicked things that they did, and [how I punished] the kings and queens of Judah for what they did, and you and your wives for the sins that you committed in the streets of Jerusalem and [the other towns] in Judah?
10 Iyagu ilaa maantadan isma ay hoosaysiin, oo kama ay cabsan, kumana ay socon sharcigaygii iyo qaynuunnadaydii aan iyaga iyo awowayaashoodba hor dhigay.
Up until this day you have not humbled yourselves or revered me. You have not obeyed the laws and decrees [DOU] that I gave to you and your ancestors.’
11 Sidaas daraaddeed Rabbiga ciidammada oo ah Ilaaha reer binu Israa'iil wuxuu leeyahay, Bal eega, wejigaygaan idinku soo jeedin doonaa inaan dadka Yahuudah oo dhan wada baabbi'iyo.
Therefore, this is what [I], the Commander of the armies of angels, the God whom [you] Israelis [say you belong to], say: ‘I am determined to cause all of you to experience disasters and to get rid of every one of you.
12 Oo waxaan qaadan doonaa kuwa dadka Yahuudah ka hadhay ee wejigooda ku qummaatiyey inay dalka Masar galaan oo ay halkaas degaan, oo kulligoodna way wada baabbi'i doonaan, oo waxay ku le'an doonaan dalka Masar. Waxaa baabba' ka dhigi doona seef iyo abaar, wayna wada dhiman doonaan, oo kan ugu yar ilaa kan ugu weyn waxay ku baabbi'i doonaan seef iyo abaar, oo waxay wada noqon doonaan wax aad loo karho, iyo wax laga yaabo, iyo inkaar iyo cay.
[You] people from Judah who have survived were determined to come and live here in Egypt. So I will get rid of all of you here in Egypt. Every one of you will die, including those who are important and those who are not important. [Some of] you will be killed by [your enemies’] swords, [some will die] from famines. You will become [people whom others] curse, be horrified about, and make fun of.
13 Waayo, kuwa dalka Masar deggan seef iyo abaar iyo belaayo ayaan ugu ciqaabi doonaa sidaan Yeruusaalem u ciqaabay oo kale.
I will punish you here in Egypt like I punished [others in] Jerusalem, [some of whom were killed] by [their enemies’] swords and [some of whom] died from famines or diseases.
14 Markaas dadka Yahuudah ee hadhay ee dalka Masar u tegey inay degaan midna kama baxsan doono ama kama hadhi doono si ay ugu noqdaan dalkii Yahuudah oo ay aad u jecel yihiin inay ku noqdaan oo ay halkaas degaan, waayo, kuwa baxsadaa mooyaane midkoodna kuma noqon doono.
You people who did not die in Judah fled here to Egypt, hoping that [some day] you would return to Judah. But very few [HYP] of you will survive and escape. You are longing/wanting to remain alive and return to Judah, but only a very few of you will escape and be able to do that.’”
15 Markaas dhammaan raggii ogaa inay naagahoodu ilaahyo kale foox u shidaan, iyo naagihii ag taagnaa oo dhan, kuwaasoo ahaa dad faro badan oo ahaa dadkii degganaa dalka Fatroos oo Masar ku yaal oo dhan waxay Yeremyaah ugu jawaabeen,
Then a large group of the people who had started to live in northern Egypt and southern Egypt, including all the men who knew that their wives had been burning incense to other gods, and all the women who were standing there, said this to me:
16 Annagu innaba kaa dhegaysan mayno eraygii aad nagula hadashay oo aad magaca Rabbiga noogu sheegtay.
“You are saying that [MTY] Yahweh gave messages to you, but we will not pay any attention to your messages!
17 Laakiinse sida xaqiiqada ah waxaannu samayn doonnaa wax alla wixii afkayaga ka soo baxay, inaannu foox u shidno boqoradda samada, oo aannu iyada u daadinno qurbaanno cabniin ah, sidii annaga iyo awowayaashayo iyo boqorradayadii iyo amiirradayadiiba aannu ugu samayn jirnay magaalooyinkii dalka Yahuudah iyo jidadkii Yeruusaalemba, waayo, waagaas waxaannu haysannay cunto faro badan, oo waannu nabdoonayn, oo innaba masiibo ma aannu arki jirin.
We will certainly do everything that we said that we would do. We will burn incense to [worship our goddess Astarte, ] the Queen of Heaven, and we will pour out offerings [of wine] to her, just like we and our ancestors and our kings and [their] officials have [always] done in the streets of Jerusalem and in the [other] towns in Judah. At that time, we had plenty of food, and we were prosperous and we did not have any troubles.
18 Laakiinse tan iyo waagii aannu iska daynay inaannu boqoradda samada foox u shidno oo aannu qurbaanno cabniin ah u daadinno, wax kastaba waannu u baahnayn, oo seef iyo abaar baannu ku baabba'nay.
But ever since we stopped burning incense to the Queen of Heaven and giving her offerings [of wine], we have had many troubles, and [some of our people] have been killed by [our enemies’] swords and [some have died] from hunger.”
19 Oo markaannu foox u shidnay boqoradda samada, oo aannu iyada qurbaanno cabniin ah u daadinnay, miyaannu kibis ugu samaynay innaannu iyada ku caabudno amase miyaannu iyada qurbaanno cabniin ah u daadinnay nimankayaga la'aantood?
And [the women said], “[Furthermore], we burned incense and poured out [wine] offerings to the Queen of Heaven, and we also made small cakes that resembled her idol, to offer to her. But our husbands certainly knew about [and approved of] [RHQ] what we were doing!”
20 Markaasaa Yeremyaah dadkii oo dhan, rag iyo naagoba, kuwaasoo ahaa dadkii isaga sidaas ugu jawaabay oo dhan wuxuu ku wada yidhi,
Then I said to all the men and women who had answered me,
21 Idinka iyo awowayaashiin iyo boqorradiinnii iyo amiirradiinnii iyo dadkii dalkuba fooxii aad magaalooyinka dalka Yahuudah iyo jidadkii Yeruusaalemba ku dhex shiddeen miyaan Rabbigu soo xusuusan oo miyaanay qalbigiisa soo gelin?
“Do not think [RHQ] that Yahweh did not know that you and your ancestors and your kings and their officials and all the other people in Judah were burning incense to [worship/honor] idols in the streets of Jerusalem and in the [other] towns in Judah!
22 Markaasuu Rabbigu u sii adkaysan kari waayay, waana sharka falimihiinna iyo karaahiyada aad samayseen aawadood, oo sidaas daraaddeed dalkiinnii wuxuu u noqday cidla, iyo wax laga yaabo, iyo inkaar, oo ciduna ma deggana siday maantadan tahay.
It was because Yahweh could no longer endure/tolerate your wicked actions and the detestable things that you were doing that he caused your land to be [a place whose name people say when they] curse someone, a land that is ruined and which has no one living in it. And your land is still like that.
23 Foox baad shiddeen, oo Rabbigaad ku dembaabteen, codkiisiina ma aydaan addeecin, kumana aydaan socon sharcigiisii, amase qaynuunnadiisii, amase markhaatiyaashiisii, oo sidaas daraaddeed ayaa masiibadanu idiinku dhacday siday maantadan tahay.
It is because you burned incense to [worship/honor] idols and committed [other] sins against Yahweh that you experienced [all] those disasters. It is because you have not obeyed him or his laws and decrees and commandments.”
24 Oo weliba Yeremyaah wuxuu dadkii oo dhan iyo naagihii oo dhan ku yidhi, Dadka Yahuudah oo dalka Masar jooga oo dhammow, bal erayga Rabbiga maqla.
[Then] I said to all of them, including the women, “All you [people of] Judah who are [here] in Egypt, listen to this message from Yahweh.
25 Rabbiga ciidammada oo ah Ilaaha reer binu Israa'iil wuxuu leeyahay, Idinka iyo naagihiinnuba afkiinnaad ku hadasheen oo gacmihiinnaad ku oofiseen, oo waxaad tidhaahdeen, Sida xaqiiqada ah annagu waannu oofin doonnaa nidarradayadii aannu u nidarnay inaannu foox boqoradda samada u shidno, iyo inaannu iyaga qurbaanno cabniin ah u daadinno, haddaba nidarradiinna oofiya, oo nidarradiinna wada sameeya.
This is what the Commander of the armies of angels, the God whom [we] Israelis [worship], says [to you Israeli men]: ‘You and your wives have said that you would continue to do what you promised, to burn incense and pour out wine to the [goddess whom you call] the Queen of Heaven. [And you have proved by your actions that you intend to continue to do that]. So go ahead and continue doing what you have promised to do [for her].’
26 Haddaba dadka Yahuudah oo dalka Masar degganow, bal erayga Rabbiga maqla. Rabbigu wuxuu leeyahay, Bal eega, magacayga weyn waan ku dhaartay inuusan qof dadka Yahuudah ahu mar dambe magacayga ku soo magacaabi doonin dalka Masar oo dhan, isagoo leh, Sayidka Rabbiga ahu waa nool yahay.
But now, all you people from Judah who are [now] living [here] in Egypt, listen to this message from Yahweh. He says, ‘I have solemnly declared, using my great name, that [soon] none of [you] people from Judah who are here in Egypt will ever again use my name. [There will be none of you who, when you solemnly promise to do something, ] will ever again say, “[I will do it as surely] as Yahweh lives.”
27 Bal eega, iyagaan fiirinayaa inaan masiibo ku dejiyo, wanaagse u keeni maayo, oo dadka Yahuudah oo dalka Masar jooga oo dhan waxay ku wada baabbi'i doonaan seef iyo abaar, ilaa ay kulligood wada dhammaadaan.
Because I will be watching over you, not to cause good things to happen to you but to cause things to happen that will harm you. [Almost] everyone [HYP] from Judah who is [now here] in Egypt will experience being [killed by their enemies’] swords, or dying from famine.
28 Oo kuwa seefta ka baxsada ayaa dalka Masar ka noqon doona oo waxay geli doonaan dalkii Yahuudah, waxayna ahaan doonaan qaar tiro yar, oo kuwa dadka Yahuudah ka hadhay oo dalka Masar u galay inay halkaas joogaan oo dhan waxay wada ogaan doonaan erayadayda iyo kuwooda kuwii rumooba.
[Only a very] few [of you] will not die, and will return to Judah. [When that happens], all those who came to Egypt will find out whose words (were true/were fulfilled), theirs or mine.’
29 Oo Rabbigu wuxuu leeyahay, Waxaa calaamad idiin noqon doonta inaan meeshan idinku ciqaabi doona, si aad ku ogaataan in erayadaydu ay xaqiiqa ahaan idiinku rumoobi doonaan inaan masiibo idinku dejin doono.
And Yahweh [also] says, ‘I will do something that will prove to you that everything that I have said will happen, and that I will punish you [here] in this place.
30 Rabbigu wuxuu leeyahay, Bal ogaada, Fircoon Xofrac oo ah boqorka Masar waxaan gelin doonaa gacanta cadaawayaashiisa, iyo gacanta kuwa naftiisa doondoonaya sidaan boqorkii dalka Yahuudah oo Sidqiyaah ahaa u geliyey gacantii Nebukadresar oo ahaa boqorkii Baabuloon, kaasoo cadowgiisa ahaa oo naftiisa doondooni jiray.
I will cause Hophra, the king of Egypt, to be captured by his enemies who want to kill him, just like I caused King Zedekiah of Judah to be captured by [the soldiers of] King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon.’” [And that is what happened several years later].
