Yeremyaah 6
1 Reer Benyaamiinow, Yeruusaalem dhexdeeda ka carara, oo buunka Teqooca ka yeedhiya, oo Beyd Hakeremna calaamad kor uga qaada, waayo, waxaa xagga woqooyi ka soo socda masiibo iyo halligaad weyn.
“You people in Jerusalem who are from [the tribe of] Benjamin, flee from this city! Blow the trumpets in Tekoa [city south of Jerusalem]! Send up a [smoke] signal in Beth-Haccherem [town] [to warn the people of the coming danger]! A powerful [army] will come from the north, and they will cause great destruction.
2 Magaalada Siyoon oo u eg naag suurad wacan oo jilicsan ayaan baabbi'in doonaa.
Jerusalem is [like] a beautiful pasture [full of sheep], but it will soon be destroyed.
3 Waxaa iyada u iman doona adhijirro adhyahoodii wata, oo teendhooyinkooda ayay hareeraheeda ka dhisan doonaan, oo midkood kastaaba wuxuu iska daaqsan doonaa meeshiisa.
[Enemy kings, not] shepherds [MET], will come [with their armies] and set up their tents around the city, and each [king will choose a part of the city for his soldiers to destroy like] [MET] shepherds divide their pastures for their flocks of sheep.
4 Isu diyaariya inaad iyada dagaal ugu kacdaan, sara joogsada, oo ina keena aan iyada hadhka weerarnee. Annagaa iska hoognay, waayo, gabbalkii waa dhacay, oo hooskii habeennimo ayaa sii dheeraaday.
[The kings will tell their troops], “Get ready for the battle. We should attack them before noontime. But [if we arrive there late in the afternoon] when the shadows are becoming long,
5 Sara joogsada, oo ina keena aynu iyada habeennimo weerarnee, oo aynu daaraheeda waaweyn wada duminnee.
we will attack them at night and tear down their fortresses.”
6 Waayo, Rabbiga ciidammadu wuxuu yidhi, Dhirteeda jara, oo Yeruusaalem tuulmo ku tuula, waayo, tanu waa magaalada la ciqaabayo, oo waxaa ka buuxa dulmi miidhan.
Yahweh, the Commander of the armies of angels in heaven, says this: “[I will command those soldiers to] cut down the trees [outside Jerusalem] and to build dirt ramps up to the top of the city walls [in order that they can enter the city]. This city must be punished because everyone there continually oppresses others.
7 Sidii ili biyaheeda u soo burqiso oo kale ayay sharnimadeeda u soo burqisaa had iyo goorba, dhexdeedana waxaa laga maqlaa dulmi iyo kharribaad, oo had iyo goorna waxaa hortayda yaal cudur iyo nabro.
[It is as though] the wicked things that the people do pour out of the city like [SIM] water flows out of a spring. [The noise from people doing] violent and destructive actions is heard everywhere. I continually see [people who are] suffering and wounded.
8 Yeruusaalemay, si aan naftaydu kaaga tegin, oo aanan kaaga dhigin cidlo iyo dal aan ciduna degganayn, edeb qaado.
Listen to what I am warning you, [you people of] [APO] Jerusalem, because if you do not listen, I will reject you and cause your land to become desolate, a land where no one lives.”
9 Rabbigii ciidammadu wuxuu leeyahay, Kuwa dadka Israa'iil ee hadhay waxaa loo wada xaabxaabi doonaa sida geedcanab oo kale, Sida mid canab guranaya oo kale gacanta dambiisha ku soo celiya.
Yahweh, the Commander of the armies of angels in heaven, also says this: “[I will tell your enemies] to cause your country to become as desolate [SIM] as a vineyard from which all the grapes have been completely stripped from the vines. [Their soldiers will seize the possessions of] those who remain in Israel [after the others have been exiled] like [SIM] farmers go to the vines again to pick any grapes [that were (left/not picked)].”
10 Inay i maqlaan bal yaan la hadlaa oo aan u digaa? Bal eega, dhegahoodu ma xalaalaysna, oo waxba ma ay maqli karaan. Bal eega, erayga Rabbigu cay buu iyaga u noqday, oo innaba kuma ay farxaan.
[Then I said, “If I speak to the Israeli people] to warn them, (who will listen to me?/No one will listen to me.) [RHQ] [It is as though] their ears are closed, [and as a result] they cannot hear [what I say]. They scorn Yahweh’s messages; they do not want to listen to them at all.
11 Sidaas daraaddeed waxaa iga buuxda cadhadii Rabbiga, oo inaan isceliyo waan ku daalay. Haddaba cadhadii ku deji carruurta jidka joogta iyo shirka barbaarrada oo dhan, waayo, xataa nin iyo naagtiisaba waa la kaxayn doonaa, oo odayga iyo kan cimriga dheerba waa la isla wada kaxayn doonaa.
So [now] I am extremely angry, like Yahweh is angry, and I cannot restrain it any longer.” [So] Yahweh said [to me], “Tell everyone that you are very angry with them. Tell the children in the streets and the young men who gather together. Tell the men and their wives; tell the very old people [DOU], also.
12 Oo guryahooda, iyo beerahooda, iyo naagahoodaba kuwa kalaa la siin doonaa dhammaantoodba, waayo, Rabbigu wuxuu leeyahay, Anigu waxaan gacantayda ku fidin doonaa dadka dalka deggan.
[Tell the men that] I will give their houses to [their enemies], and I will give their property/fields and their wives to them, also, when I punish [IDM] the people who live in this land.
13 Waayo, kooda ugu yar ilaa kooda ugu weyn midkood kastaaba wuxuu u go'ay damacxumaan, oo nebiga iyo xataa wadaadka inta ka dhexle midkood kastaaba been buu ku macaamiloodaa.
Everyone is trying to get money by tricking others, from the most [important people] to the least [important people]; even the prophets and the priests are trying to deceive [people to get money].
14 Oo iyagu dhaawicii dadkayga ayay si fudud u bogsiiyeen, oo iyadoo aan innaba nabadu jirin ayay yidhaahdaan, Waa nabad! Waa nabad!
[They act as though the sins of my people are like] [MET] small wounds that they do not need to put bandages on. They continually [greet people by] saying ‘I hope things are going well with you,’ when things are not going well.
15 Markay karaahiyada sameeyeen miyey xishoodeen? Maya, innaba ma ay xishoon, ceebna ma garan, sidaas daraaddeed waxay la dhici doonaan kuwa dhacaya. Oo Rabbigu wuxuu leeyahay, Wakhtigii aan iyaga soo ciqaabo ayay hoos u dhici doonaan.
They should be [RHQ] ashamed about the disgusting things that they do, but they are not ashamed at all. They do not [even] know how to (blush/show on their faces that they are ashamed). So, they also will be among those who will be killed. They will be destroyed when I punish them.”
16 Rabbigu wuxuu leeyahay, Jidadka dhex istaaga, oo bal wax fiiriya, oo bal dhabbayaashii hore haybsada, oo waxaad tidhaahdaan, Meeh jidkii wanaagsanaa? Oo markaas ku socdaa, oo naftiinna nasashaad u heli doontaan. Laakiinse iyagu waxay yidhaahdeen, Annagu ku socon mayno jidkaas.
This is [also] what Yahweh said [to the Israeli people]: “Stand at the crossroads and look [at the people who pass by]. Ask them what was the good behavior [that their ancestors had] long ago. [And when they tell you], behave that way. If you do that, you will find rest for your souls.” But you replied, ‘We do not want to do that!’
17 Oo weliba waxaan idiin dhigay waardiyayaal, oo waxaan idinku idhi, Buunka dhawaaqiisa dhegaysta. Laakiinse iyagu waxay yidhaahdeen, Annagu waxba dhegaysan mayno.
I sent [my prophets who were like] [MET] watchmen. They said, ‘Listen carefully when we blow the trumpets [to warn you that your enemies are approaching],’ but you said, ‘[No], we do not want to listen.’
18 Sidaas daraaddeed, quruumahow bal maqla, oo ururkow, bal ogow waxa kuwan ku dhici doona.
Therefore, you people in the other nations, listen to this: Pay attention to what is going to happen to the [Israeli people].
19 Dhulkow, bal maqal, oo bal ogow, dadkan masiibaan ku soo dejin doonaa taasoo ah waxay fikirradoodii keeneen, waayo, erayadaydii ma ayan dhegaysan, sharcigaygiina way diideen.
Listen, all of you! I am going to cause the [Israeli] people to experience disasters. That is what will happen to them because they have refused to listen to what I told them. They have refused to obey my laws.
20 Fooxa Shebaa ka yimid iyo qasabka macaan ee dal fog laga keenay maxay ii taraan? Qurbaannadiinna la gubo aqbali maayo, oo allabaryadiinnuna iga farxin maayaan.
[You Israeli people], when you burn frankincense that came from [far away in] Sheba, and [when you offer to me] sweet-smelling anointing oil that came from far away, I will not [RHQ] be pleased with your sacrifices. I will not accept the sacrifices that are completely burned on the altar; I am not pleased with [any of] your sacrifices.
21 Oo sidaas daraaddeed Rabbigu wuxuu leeyahay, Bal eega, waxaan dadkan hor dhigi doonaa wax lagu turunturoodo, oo aabbayaasha iyo wiilashuba way ku wada turunturoon doonaan, oo deriska iyo saaxiibkiisba way wada halligmi doonaan.
Therefore, I will put obstacles on the roads on which my people will travel. Men and their sons and people’s neighbors and friends will stumble over those obstacles and fall down; everyone will die.”
22 Rabbigu wuxuu leeyahay, Bal ogaada, dadyow baa dalka woqooyi ka iman doona, oo quruun weyn ayaa dhulka darafyadiisa ka soo kici doonta.
Yahweh [also] says this: “You will see a [huge] army marching [towards you] from the north. [An army of] a great nation very far away is preparing [to attack you].
23 Oo waxay sitaan qaansooyin iyo warmo, oo waa calool adag yihiin, oo innaba naxariis ma leh. Codkoodana waxaa la moodaa sida bad guuxaysa oo kale, oo farday fuulaan. Siyoonay, mid kastaaba wuxuu kuugu soo safan yahay sida nin dagaal diyaar u ah oo kale.
They have bows [and arrows] and spears; they are [very] cruel, and do not act mercifully [to anyone]. As they ride along on their horses, the horses’ feet sound like the roaring of the ocean [waves]; they are riding in battle formation to attack you people of Jerusalem.”
24 Waxaannu maqalnay warkoodii, oo gacmahayagii way taag gabeen, oo cidhiidhi iyo xanuun baa noo qabtay sida naag foolanaysa oo kale.
[The people of Jerusalem say], “We have heard reports about the enemy; [so] we are very frightened, with the result that we feel weak. We are very afraid, and worried, like [SIM] women who are about to give birth to babies.
25 Berrinka ha u bixina, oo jidkana ha marina, waayo, seeftii cadowga iyo cabsi baa dhan kasta idinka jirta.
[So one person says to another], ‘Do not go out into the fields! Do not go on the roads, because the enemy [soldiers] have swords [and they are everywhere]; they are coming from all directions, and we are extremely afraid.’”
26 Dadkaygow, joonyad xidho, oo dambas ku galgalo, oo waxaad u baroorataa sida wiil madi ah loogu baroorto, oo waxaad ku ooydaa baroor aad u qadhaadh, waayo, waxbaabbi'iyihii dhaqsuu inoogu soo degi doonaa.
[So I say], “My dear people, put on (sackcloth/rough clothes) and sit in ashes [to show that you are sorry for your sins]. Mourn and cry very much, like [SIM] [a woman would cry] if her only son had died, because your enemies are very near, and they are going to destroy [everything].”
27 Waxaan dadkayga dhexdiisa kuu dhigay inaad ahaatid imtixaame, si aad jidkooda u ogaatid oo aad u imtixaantid.
[Then Yahweh said to me], “[Jeremiah], I have caused you to become [like] [MET] someone who heats metal very hot [to completely burn the impurities]. You will examine my people’s behavior.
28 Iyagu waa caasiyiin fallaagoobay, oo xan bay la ordaan oo iyagu waa naxaas iyo bir, oo kulligoodna waa kuwa wax kharriba.
You will find out that they are very stubborn rebels, they are always slandering others. [Their inner beings] are as hard as bronze or iron; they all [continually] deceive others.
29 Buufinkii aad buu wax u buufiyaa, oo laxaamaddiina dabkaa baabba'saday, oo lacag shubihiina waxtarla'aan buu wax u sii dhalaalinayaa, waayo, sharrowyadii weli ma soocna.
[A metalworker causes] the bellows to blow very hard to [make the fire very hot to] completely burn up the impurities [MET]. [But just as] a fire does not cause all the waste material to run off, it is impossible to separate [the righteous people from the wicked people, and punish only] the wicked people.
30 Waxaa iyaga loogu yeedhi doonaa, Lacag la nacay, waayo, Rabbigu iyaguu nacay.
[I], Yahweh, have rejected them; I say that they are [like] [MET] worthless silver.”
