Yoo'Eel 2
1 Siyoon buun ka dhex afuufa, oo buurtayda quduuska ah ka dhawaajiya, oo dadka dalka deggan oo dhammu ha wada gariireen, waayo, maalintii Rabbigu way imanaysaa, oo haatan way soo dhow dahay.
Blow trumpets on Zion [Hill], God’s sacred hill [in Jerusalem]! Tell the people of Judah that they should tremble, because it will soon be the time for Yahweh [to punish us further].
2 Oo maalintaasu waa maalin mugdi iyo gudcur ah, oo waa maalin cadar ah oo gudcur qaro weyn ahu jiro, oo waxay u imanaysaa sida kaaha waaberiga buuraha ku dul faafa. Bal eega dad tiro badan oo xoog weyn! Dadkaas wax la mid ah hore looma arag, oo iyaga dabadoodna wax la mid ahu ma jiri doonaan xataa tan iyo sannado iyo qarniyo badan.
[That will be a very] dark and gloomy day; there will be [black] clouds and it will be very dark. A huge [swarm of locusts] has covered the mountains like [SIM] a black [cloud]. Nothing like this has ever happened before, and nothing like this will ever [happen] again.
3 Hortooda dab baa wax laasanaya, oo dabadoodana olol baa wax gubaya. Dhulka iyaga ka horreeya waa sida Beer Ceeden, oo kan iyaga ka dambeeyana waa sidii cidla baabba' ah oo kale, oo wax iyaga ka baxsadayna innaba ma jiraan.
[It is as though the locusts bring] flames of fire from which no one can escape. In front of them, the land was [beautiful] like [SIM] the garden of Eden, but behind them [the land is like] a desert and nothing survives.
4 Muuqashoodu waa sida muuq fardood oo kale, oo waxay u ordaan sida rag fardooley ah.
[The locusts] resemble horses, and they run like [SIM] war horses.
5 Oo sanqadhkoodu waa sida gaadhifardood buuraha dhaladooda boodboodaya, iyo sida olol dab oo bal gubaya, iyo sida dad xoog badan oo dagaal u diyaargaroobay.
Leaping over the mountaintops, they make a noise like rumbling chariots, like [SIM] a mighty army that is preparing for a battle, or like [SIM] the roar of a fire that burns up stubble [in a field].
6 Hortooda dadyowgu way wada gariirayaan, oo qof kastaba wejigiisa cabsi baa ka muuqanaysa.
When people see them coming, they become very pale and frightened.
7 Iyagu waxay hore ugu ordayaan sida rag xoog badan, oo waxay derbiga u fuulayaan sida rag dagaalyahan ah, oo midkood waluba halkiisuu marayaa, oo kala leexan maayaan.
[The locusts] climb over walls like soldiers do; they march along in columns and never turn aside [from their columns].
8 Oo midkoodna midka kale riixi maayo, oo midkood waluba wuxuu ku socdaa meeshiisa. Waxay ka dhex dusayaan hubka dagaalka oo innaba socodkooda kama joogsadaan.
They rush straight ahead without pushing each other. [Even though people throw] spears and javelins at them, that will not cause them to stop.
9 Magaalada korkeeda ayay ku boodayaan, oo derbiga korkiisa ayay ku ordayaan, oo guryahay soo korayaan, oo sida tuug oo kale ayay daaqadaha ka soo galayaan.
They swarm over the city walls and enter our houses; they enter through our windows like [SIM] thieves do.
10 Oo hortooda dhulku wuu gariirayaa, samooyinkuna way ruxmanayaan, oo qorraxdii iyo dayaxiina way madoobaadeen, oo xiddigihiina iftiinkoodii way ceshadeen.
[It is as though] they cause the earth to shake and the sky to tremble. The sun and the moon become dark and the stars do not shine [because there are so many locusts in the sky].
11 Rabbiga ayaa codkiisa kaga hor hadlaya ciidankiisa, waayo, xeradiisu aad bay u weyn tahay, oo midka eraygiisa oofinayaa waa xoog badan yahay, waayo, Rabbiga maalintiisu waa weyn tahay, waana mid cabsi badan aad iyo aad, haddaba bal yaa u adkaysan kara?
Yahweh leads this army [of countless locusts], and they obey his commands. This time when he is judging and punishing us is very terrible, [with the result that it seems that] no one [RHQ] can survive it.
12 Haddaba haatan waxaa Rabbigu leeyahay, Qalbigiinna oo dhan iigu soo jeesta, idinkoo sooman, oo ooyaya, oo barooranaya.
But Yahweh says, “In spite of [these disasters that you have experienced], you can return to me with all your inner beings. Weep, and mourn, and (fast/abstain from eating food) [to show that you are sorry for having abandoned me].
13 Haddaba qalbigiinna jeexa ee dharkiinna ha jeexina, oo Rabbiga Ilaahiinna ah xaggiisa u soo jeesta, waayo, isagu waa nimco miidhan, waana raxmad badan yahay, cadho wuu u gaabiya, waana naxariis badan yahay, oo belaayadana wuu ka soo noqdaa.
Do not tear your clothes [to show that you are sorry]; instead, show [MET] that you are sorry.” Yahweh is merciful and kind; he does not quickly become angry; he faithfully loves [people]. He does not quickly become angry; instead, he greatly and faithfully loves [you], and he does not like to punish you.
14 Bal yaa garanaya inuu isagu soo jeesan doono oo soo noqon doono, iyo in kale, iyo inuu gadaashiisa kaga tegi doono barako, taasoo qurbaan hadhuudh ah iyo qurbaan cabniin ah oo aad Rabbiga Ilaahiinna ah u bixinaysaan?
No one knows [RHQ] if he will change his mind [about punishing you] and if instead he will act mercifully [toward you]. If he does that, he will bless you [by giving you plenty of grain and wine] in order that you can offer [some of] those things as sacrifices to him.
15 Siyoon buun ka dhex afuufa, oo soon naadiya, oo shir ku dhawaaqa.
Blow the trumpets on Zion [Hill]! Gather the people together! Show by fasting that you are sorry [for the sins that you have committed].
16 Dadka soo ururiya, oo ururka quduus ka dhiga, oo odayaasha soo shiriya, oo carruurta soo ururiya, iyo xataa kuwa naasaha nuugaya. Aroosku qolkiisa ha ka soo baxo, oo aroosadduna ilxidhkeeda ha ka soo baxdo.
Perform the rituals to cause yourselves to be acceptable to Yahweh. Gather everyone together— the old people and the children, even the babies, and summon brides and bridegrooms from their rooms.
17 Wadaaddada midiidinnada Rabbiga ahu balbalada iyo meesha allabariga dhexdooda ha ku ooyeen, oo iyagu ha yidhaahdeen, Rabbiyow, dadkaaga u tudh, oo dadka dhaxalkaaga ah wax la caayo ha ka dhigin oo yaanay quruumuhu iyaga u taline. Waayo, bal maxaa dadyowga dhexdooda looga odhan doonaa, Bal meeh Ilaahooda?
Tell the priests who serve Yahweh to cry between the altar and the entrance to the temple and to pray [this]: “Yahweh, rescue/save [us] your people; do not allow people from other nations to despise us; do not allow them to ridicule us and say, ‘Why has [RHQ] their God [abandoned them]?’”
18 Markaasaa Rabbigu u hinaasay dalkiisii, oo dadkiisuu u naxay.
But Yahweh [showed that he] was concerned about his people and that he would act mercifully toward them.
19 Oo Rabbigu waa u jawaabay dadkiisii oo wuxuu ku yidhi, Bal ogaada, waxaan idiin soo dirayaa hadhuudh, iyo khamri, iyo saliid, oo idinkuna waxaasaad ka dhergi doontaan, oo anna mar dambe quruumaha dhexdooda wax la caayo idinkaga dhigi maayo.
When the people prayed, Yahweh answered and said, “I will give you [plenty of] grain and wine and [olive] oil, and you will be satisfied. And I will no longer allow other nations to insult you.
20 Laakiinse waan idinka fogayn doonaa ciidanka woqooyi, oo isaga waxaan ku eryi doonaa dal abaar iyo cidlo ah, oo qaybtiisa hore waxaan geeyn doonaa badda bari, oo qaybtiisa dambena waxaan geeyn doonaa badda galbeed, oo waxaa kor u soo bixi doona qudhunkiisa, oo uurkiisa xumuna wuu soo kici doonaa, maxaa yeelay, isagu wuxuu sameeyey waxyaalo waaweyn.
Another army [of locusts will come] from the north [to attack you], but I will force them to continue [past Jerusalem] into the desert. Some will go into the Dead Sea in the east and some will go into the [Mediterranean] Sea in the west. [There] they will [all die, and their bodies] will stink.” Yahweh does great things!
21 Haddaba dal yahow, ha baqin, laakiinse farax, oo reyree, maxaa yeelay, Rabbigu wuxuu sameeyey waxyaalo waaweyn.
He does wonderful things! So even the ground should rejoice!
22 Xayawaanka duurkow, ha cabsanina, waayo, naqii cidladu waa soo baxayaa, oo dhirtiina midhaheeday dhalaysaa, oo berdihii iyo canabkiiba way barwaaqoobayaan.
And the wild animals should not be afraid, because the meadows will soon become green again; the fig trees and [other] trees will be full of fruit, and the grapevines will be covered with grapes.
23 Haddaba reer Siyoonay, farxa oo Rabbiga Ilaahiinna ah ku reyreeya, waayo, roobkii hore buu si xaq ah idiin siiyey, oo wuxuu idiin di'iyey roob, intii hore iyo intii dambeba sidii markii hore.
You people of Jerusalem, rejoice about what Yahweh, your God, [will be doing for you]. He will send abundant rain at the (right time/time when it is needed)— (in the spring/early in the year) and (in the autumn/late in the year) like he did previously.
24 Oo goobaha wax lagu tumo waxaa ka buuxsami doona sarreen, oo macsarooyinkuna waxay la buuxdhaafi doonaan khamri iyo saliid.
The ground where you thresh the grain will be covered with grain, and your vats where you store grape juice and [olive] oil will be full.
25 Oo waxaan idiin soo celin doonaa waxa ay sannadihii idinka cuneen ayaxa, iyo laddaaga, iyo diirta, iyo koronkorradu, kuwaas oo ahaa ciidankii weynaa oo aan idiin soo diray.
[Yahweh said, ] “I will repay you for everything that was destroyed by those great swarms of locusts that I sent to attack you.
26 Oo idinku wax badan baad cuni doontaan oo waad dhergi doontaan, oo waxaad ammaani doontaan magaca Rabbiga Ilaahiinna ah oo waxa yaabka badan idiin sameeyey, oo dadkayguna innaba ma ay ceeboobi doonaan.
You, my people, will eat until your stomachs are full. Then you will praise me [MTY], Yahweh, your God, for the wonderful things that I have done for you. And never again will you be disgraced.
27 Oo markaas waxaad ogaan doontaan inaan dadka Israa'iil dhex joogo, iyo inaan anigu ahay Rabbiga Ilaahiinna ah, oo aan ilaah kale jirin, oo dadkayguna innaba ma ay ceeboobi doonaan.
When that happens, you will know that I am [always] among you, and that I am Yahweh, your God, and that there is no other [God]. Never again will you be disgraced.”
28 Oo markaas dabadeedna anigu ruuxayga ayaan ku shubi doonaa dad oo dhan, oo wiilashiinna iyo hablihiinnu wax bay sii sheegi doonaan, oo odayaashiinnuna riyooyin bay ku riyoon doonaan, oo raggiinna dhallinyarada ahuna wax bay arki doonaan,
“Some time later, I will give my Spirit to many [HYP] people. Your sons and daughters will proclaim messages that come directly from me. Your old men will have dreams [that come from me], and your young men will have visions [that come from me].
29 oo weliba maalmahaas addoommada rag iyo dumarba ruuxaygaan ku shubi doonaa.
At that time, I will give my Spirit even to servants, both men and women.
30 Oo waxaan samooyinka iyo dhulkaba ka muujin doonaa yaabab, kuwaasoo ah dhiig, iyo dab, iyo tiirar qiiq ah.
I will do unusual/amazing things on the earth and in the sky. [On the earth] [CHI], there will be much blood [shed] and [there will be very large] fires and smoke that resembles huge clouds.
31 Qorraxdu waxay u beddelmi doontaa gudcur, dayaxuna wuxuu u beddelmi doonaa dhiig, intaanay iman maalinta Rabbiga oo weyn oo cabsida badanu.
[In the sky, ] the sun will become dark and the moon will become [as red as] [MET] blood. [Those things will happen] before that great and terrible day when [I], Yahweh, appear.
32 Oo waxay noqon doontaa in ku alla kii magaca Rabbiga ku barya uu samatabbixi doono, waayo, Buur Siyoon iyo Yeruusaalem, iyo kuwa hadhay oo Rabbigu u yeedhayba waxaa jiri doona kuwo u baxsada sidii Rabbigu yidhi.
But at that time [I] will save everyone who worships me. I promise that some people in Jerusalem [DOU] will escape [those disasters]; those whom I have chosen will survive.”
