< Miikaah 7 >
1 Anaa iska hoogay! Waayo, waxaan ahay sidii marka la soo ururiyo midhaha beergoosadka, iyo sida xaabxaabka canabka. Ma jiro rucub la cuna. Naftaydu waxay doonaysaa berdaha hore u bislaaday.
Woe is me! for I am as in the gathering of the summer-fruits, as in the grape-gleanings of the vintage: there is no cluster to eat, no first-ripe fruit for which my soul longeth.
2 Dadkii cibaadada lahaa wuu ka wada baabba'ay dhulka, oo dadka dhexdiisa laguma arko mid qumman. Kulligood waxay u wada gabbadaan inay dhiig galaan daraaddeed, oo nin kastaaba walaalkiis ayuu shabag ku ugaadhsadaa.
The pious hath disappeared out of the land; and the upright among men there is none; all of them lie in wait for blood; they hunt every man his brother with a net.
3 Gacmahoodu waxay aad ugu dadaalaan inay sameeyaan wax shar ah. Amiirka iyo xaakinkuba waxay dadka weyddiistaan laaluush. Ninka weynuna wuxuu ku hadlaa xumaanta naftiisu doonayso, oo sidaasay isugu maroojiyaan xumaan.
For the evil of your hands you expect good? while the prince demandeth [bribes], and the judge acteth for pay; and the great man is only speaking the wilful pleasure of his soul: and so do they make a network [of wrong].
4 Kooda ugu wanaagsanu waa sidii qodxan oo kale, kooda ugu wada qummanuna waa sidii yamaarug oo kale. Wakhtigii waardiyihiinna oo ah wakhtigii laydin soo booqan lahaa waa yimid, wareerkoodu hadduu noqon doonaa.
The best of them is like a brier; the most upright is [sharper] than a thorn-hedge: the day of thy watchmen, thy punishment, is come; now shall be perplexity among them.
5 Deris ha isku hallaynina, saaxiibna ha ku kalsoonaanina, afkaagana ka xidho tan laabtaada ku jiifta.
Trust ye not in a friend, put ye not confidence in a confidant: from her that lieth in thy bosom guard the doors of thy mouth.
6 Waayo, wiil wuxuu sharafjebiyaa aabbihiis, gabadhuna waxay ku kacdaa hooyadeed, oo naaguna waxay ku kacdaa soddohdeed, oo nin cadowgiisuna waa dadka gurigiisa.
For the son disgraceth the father, the daughter riseth up against her mother, the daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law; a man's enemies are the men of his own house.
7 Laakiinse anigu Rabbigaan dhawrayaa, oo Ilaaha badbaadadayda waan sugayaa. Ilaahay wuu i maqli doonaa.
But I—I will look unto the Lord; I will wait for the God of my salvation: my God will hear me.
8 Cadowgaygow, ha igu farxin. Goortaan dhoco waan kici doonaa, oo goortaan gudcur fadhiistana Rabbiga ayaa iftiin ii noqon doona.
Rejoice not, O my enemy, over me: though I am fallen, I rise again: though I should sit in darkness, the Lord will be a light unto me.
9 Anigu waan qaadan doonaa Rabbiga dhirifkiisa, maxaa yeelay, waan ku dembaabay isaga, ilaa uu dacwaddayda ii muddaco, oo uu ii garsooro. Iftiinka wuu ii soo bixin doonaa, oo anna xaqnimadiisa waan arki doonaa.
The indignation of the Lord will I bear, because I have sinned against him; until that he plead my cause, and execute justice for me: [when] he will bring me forth to the light, and I shall behold his righteousness.
10 Dabadeedna waxaa arki doonta tan cadowgayga ah, oo aad bay u ceeboobi doontaa tan igu lahayd, Meeh Rabbiga Ilaahaaga ah? Indhahaygu way fiirin doonaan iyada, oo haatan waxaa iyada loogu tuman doonaa sidii dhoobada jidadka dhex taal.
Then she that is my enemy will see it, and shame shall cover her, who said unto me, Where is the Lord thy God? My eyes shall complacently see her [suffer]: now shall she be trodden down as the mire of the streets.
11 Waxaa iman doona wakhti derbiyadiinna la dhisi doono, oo wakhtigaas ayaa soohdintiinna la ballaadhin doonaa.
The day that thy fences are to be built—that same day, the ordained, is yet far removed.
12 Wakhtigaas waxaa laydiinka iman doonaa tan iyo dalka Ashuur iyo ilaa magaalooyinka Masar, iyo tan iyo Masar iyo ilaa Webi Yufraad, iyo tan iyo bad ilaa baddeeda kale, iyo buur iyo ilaa buurteeda kale.
It is a day when men shall come to thee from Assyria, and the cities of Mazor, and from Mazor even to the river, and from sea to sea, and [from] mountain to mountain.
13 Laakiinse dhulku cidla buu noqon doonaa, waana kuwa dhex deggan daraaddood iyo midhihii falimahooda aawadood.
While the land [of the nations] shall be made desolate because of its inhabitants, for the fruit of their doings.
14 Dadkaaga oo ah adhigii dhaxalkaaga oo kaynta Karmel ku dhex taal keli ahaantood deggan ushaada ku daaji. Iyagu ha daaqeen Baashaan iyo Gilecaad sidii waagii hore.
Feed thy people with thy rod, the flock of thy heritage, which dwell in solitude in the wood, in the midst of Carmel: let them feed in Bashan and Gil'ad, as in the days of old.
15 Sidii wakhtigii aad dalkii Masar ka soo baxdeen ayaan waxyaalo yaab badan tusi doonaa.
As in the days of thy coming out of the land of Egypt will I let them see marvelous things.
16 Quruumuhu way arki doonaan, oo waxay ka ceeboobi doonaan itaalkooda oo dhan, oo intay gacanta afka saaraan ayay dhego beeli doonaan.
Nations shall see and be ashamed of all their might: they shall lay their hand upon their mouth, their ears shall be deafened.
17 Waxay ciidda u leefleefi doonaan sidii abeeso oo kale, sidii waxyaalo dhulka ku gurguurta ayay iyagoo gariiraya meelahooda ka soo bixi doonaan, oo waxay cabsi ugu iman doonaan Rabbiga Ilaaheenna ah, oo idinka aawadiin ayay u baqi doonaan.
They shall lick the dust like the serpent; like those that crawl on the earth, shall they come forth trembling out of their close places: unto the Lord our God shall they hasten in dread, and shall be afraid of thee.
18 Bal waa kee Ilaaha kula mid ahi, kaasoo xumaanta saamaxa, oo iska dhaafa xadgudubka kuwa dhaxalkiisa ka hadhay? Isagu sii ma cadhaysnaado weligiis, maxaa yeelay, naxariistuu ku farxaa.
Who is a god like unto thee, pardoning iniquity, and forgiving transgression to the residue of his heritage? he retaineth not his anger for ever, because he delighteth in kindness.
19 Isagu wuu soo jeedsan doonaa oo wuu inoo naxariisan doonaa. Xumaanteennana cagta buu kula joogsan doonaa. Adigu dembiyadooda oo dhan waxaad ku tuuri doontaa badda moolkeeda.
He will again have mercy on us, he will suppress our iniquities; yea, thou wilt cast all their sins into the depths of the sea.
20 Sidaad waagii hore awowayaashayo ugu dhaaratay, waxaad Yacquub u samayn doontaa run, Ibraahimna naxariis.
Thou wilt show faithfulness unto Jacob, and kindness unto Abraham, which thou hast sworn unto our fathers in the days of old.
