Miikaah 3
1 Oo anigu waxaan idhi, Waan idin baryayaaye madaxda reer Yacquub iyo taliyayaasha dalka Israa'iilow, i maqla. Sow idinkuma habboona inaad caddaaladda taqaanniin?
Then I said, “You Israeli [MTY] leaders, listen [to what I say]! You should certainly [RHQ] know what things are right [to do] [and what things are wrong],
2 Idinku wanaagga waad neceb tihiin oo sharkaad jeceshihiin, oo haraggoodana waad ka mudhxisaan, oo hilibkoodana lafahooda waad ka mudhxisaan.
but you hate what is good and you love what is evil. [You act like butchers]: [it is as though] you strip the skin off my people and [tear] the flesh from their bones.
3 Oo weliba waxaad cuntaan hilibka dadkayga, oo haraggoodana waad ka siibtaan, oo lafahoodana waad jejebisaan, haah, oo waxaad u kala gogooysaan sidii hilib dheri loo diyaariyo, iyo sidii hilib digsi ku jiro.
[It is as though] you chop them into pieces like [SIM] meat [to be cooked] in a pot.
4 Markaasay Rabbiga u qayshan doonaan, laakiinse isagu uma uu jawaabi doono, oo weliba wakhtigaas wejigiisa wuu ka qarin doonaa, waana sidii ay iyagu falimahooda xumaanta ugu sameeyeen.
Then, [when you have troubles], you plead to Yahweh [to help you], but he will not answer you. At that time, he will turn away from you because of the evil things that you have done.”
5 Rabbigu sidaasuu kaga leeyahay nebiyada dadkayga qalda, oo qaniina oo haddana ku qayliya, Nabad, oo ku dhawaaqa in lala diriro ku alla kii aan afkooda wax ku ridin.
This is what Yahweh says about your [false] prophets who are deceiving the people: “If someone gives them food, those prophets say that things will go well for him. But they declare war against anyone who does not give them food.
6 Haddaba sidaas daraaddeed waxay idiin noqon doontaa habeen, waxbana laydinma tusi doono, oo waxay idiin noqon doontaa gudcur, mana aad faalan doontaan, oo qorraxdu way dhici doontaa nebiyada oo jooga, oo maalintuna way ku madoobaan doontaa iyaga.
So [now it is as though] [MET] night will descend on you prophets; you will not receive any [more] visions. [It is as though] [MET] the sun will set for you; the time [when you are greatly honored] will end.
7 Oo kuwa wax arka way ceeboobi doonaan, oo faaliyayaashuna way isku wareeri doonaan, haah, oo dhammaantood waxay dabooli doonaan bushimahooda, waayo, ma jirto jawaab Rabbiga ka timid.
[Then] you (seers/people who predict what will happen in the future) [DOU] will be disgraced; you will cover your faces [because you will be ashamed], because when you ask me [what will happen], there will be no answer from me.”
8 Laakiinse sida runta ah aniga waxaa iga buuxa xoog iyo caddaalad iyo itaal uu Ruuxa Rabbigu i geliyey si aan reer Yacquub xadgudubkiisa ugu sheego, oo aan dadka Israa'iil dembigiisa ugu sheego.
But as for me, I am full of [God’s] power, [power] from the Spirit of Yahweh. I am courageous and strong to declare to the Israeli people [MTY, DOU] that they have sinned and rebelled [against Yahweh].
9 Madaxda reer Yacquub iyo taliyayaasha dalka Israa'iilow, waan idin baryayaaye, waxan maqla, kuwiinna caddaaladda neceb oo qummanaanta qalloociya.
You leaders of the people [MTY] of Israel, listen to this! You hate [it when people do] what is just; and [when people say] what is true, you distort it, [saying it is false].
10 Siyoon dhiig bay ku dhisaan, Yeruusaalemna xumaan bay ku dhisaan.
[It is as though] you are building [houses in] Jerusalem on foundations that consist of murdering people and doing what is corrupt.
11 Madaxdoodu laaluush bay wax ku xukumaan, wadaaddadooduna kiro bay dadka wax ku baraan, oo nebiyadooduna lacag bay u faaliyaan, oo weliba Rabbiga bay ku tiirsadaan iyagoo leh, Sow Rabbigu dhexdayada ma joogo? Belaayo innaba naguma degi doonto.
Your leaders make [favorable] decisions [only if they receive] bribes. Your priests teach people only if [those people] pay them [well]. Your [false] prophets require people to pay them to tell people what will happen [to them] in the future. Those prophets say, “Yahweh is telling us [what we should say], and [we say that] we will not experience any disasters.”
12 Haddaba sidaas daraaddeed idinka aawadiin Siyoon waxaa loo jeexi doonaa sida beer oo kale, oo Yeruusaalemna waxay noqon doontaa taallooyin burbur ah, oo buurta guriguna waxay noqon doontaa sida meelaha sare ee kaynta ku yaal oo kale.
Because of what you [leaders do], Zion [Hill] will be plowed like a field; it will become a heap of ruins/rubble; the top of the hill, where the temple is [now], will be covered with bushes.
