< 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.
Alas for me! for I am become as gatherings of summer fruit, as gleaning-grapes in harvest, there is no cluster to eat, the first ripe fruit, my soul, craved.
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.
Perished is the man of lovingkindness out of the earth, and, upright among men, is there none, —they all, for bloodshed, lie in wait. Every man—for his brother, do they hunt as for one devoted to destruction.
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.
Of wickedness with both hands to make sure, the ruler, doth make demand—and the judge—for a recompense, —and, as for the great man, he, is putting into words the desire of his soul, So have they woven the net!
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 as a sharp briar, and, the most upright, worse than a thorn hedge, The day of thy watchmen—of thy visitation, hath come, Now, shall be their confusion!
5 Deris ha isku hallaynina, saaxiibna ha ku kalsoonaanina, afkaagana ka xidho tan laabtaada ku jiifta.
Do not trust in a friend, do not put confidence in an associate, —from her that lieth in thy bosom, keep thou 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, treateth as foolish, the father, and, the daughter, riseth up against, her mother, the daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law, —The foes of a man, are the men of his own house.
7 Laakiinse anigu Rabbigaan dhawrayaa, oo Ilaaha badbaadadayda waan sugayaa. Ilaahay wuu i maqli doonaa.
But, I, for Yahweh, will watch, 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.
Do not rejoice, O mine enemy, against me, Though I fall, I shall rise again! Though I sit in darkness, Yahweh, is a light to 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 Yahweh, will I bear, for I have sinned against him, —until he take up my controversy, then will he do me justice, he will bring me forth to the light, 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.
So shall she who had been mine enemy fear, and shame, shall cover her, who used to say unto me—Where is Yahweh thy God? Mine own eyes, shall look upon her, Now, shall she become one to he trodden down, like the mire of the lanes.
11 Waxaa iman doona wakhti derbiyadiinna la dhisi doono, oo wakhtigaas ayaa soohdintiinna la ballaadhin doonaa.
On the day for building thy walls, —on that day, far away shall be thy boundary:
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.
The very day, that, against thee, shall one come from Assyria, and [from] the cities of Egypt; yea from Egypt, even unto 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.
Though the land become a desolation, because of them that dwell therein, —by reason of 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.
Shepherd thou thy people with thy rod, the flock of thine inheritance, Dwell thou alone, a jungle in the midst of a fruitful field, —Let them feed in Bashan and in Gilead, as in the days of age-past times.
15 Sidii wakhtigii aad dalkii Masar ka soo baxdeen ayaan waxyaalo yaab badan tusi doonaa.
As in the days of thy coming forth out of the land of Egypt, will I shew him wonders.
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, that they may turn pale at all their valour, —they shall lay hand on mouth, their ears, shall be silent:
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 the crawlers of the earth, shall they come quaking out of their fastnesses, —Towards Yahweh our God, shall they pay adoration, and shall fear because 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, taking away the iniquity—and passing over the transgression—of the remnant of his inheritance? He hath not held fast, perpetually, his anger, for, one who delighteth in lovingkindness, is he!
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 compassion upon us, he will subdue our iniquities, —Thou wilt cast—into the depths of the sea—all their sins.
20 Sidaad waagii hore awowayaashayo ugu dhaaratay, waxaad Yacquub u samayn doontaa run, Ibraahimna naxariis.
Thou wilt grant—the faithfulness to Jacob, the lovingkindness to Abraham, —which thou didst swear to our fathers, from the days of ancient time.
