Muujintii 18
1 Waxyaalahaas ka dib waxaan arkay malaa'ig kale oo samada ka soo degaysa, waxayna lahayd amar weyn; oo dhulkuna wuxuu la iftiimay dhalaalkeedii.
After this, [in the vision] I saw another angel, who had great authority, coming down from heaven. The earth became bright [because] he was shining so intensely/brightly.
2 Markaasay ku dhawaaqday cod xoog weyn, oo waxay tidhi, Waxaa dhacday oo dhacday Baabuloontii weynayd, oo waxay noqotay hoygii shaydaanyada, iyo rugtii jinni kasta oo nijaas ah, iyo rugtii shimbir kasta oo nijaas ah oo la neceb yahay.
He shouted with a very loud voice, “[God is about to] completely destroy [DOU] all the very [evil] cities (OR, the very evil [city]) [that] Babylon [represents]. As a result, all [kinds of] evil spirits [DOU] will live there, and all [kinds of] foul and detestable [DOU] birds will live there.
3 Waayo, quruumihii oo dhammu waxay ku dhaceen khamrigii cadhada sinadeeda; oo boqorradii dhulka oo dhammuna iyaday ka sinaysteen, oo baayacmushtariyadii dunidu waxay ku taajireen xooggii barwaaqadeeda.
[God will destroy those cities] because [their rulers have persuaded] the people of [MTY] all nations to act very immorally [and idolatrously with the people of] [MET] [those cities, just like] a prostitute persuades men to drink [strong] wine and then commit fornication with her. The rulers of the earth have also acted immorally [and idolatrously] with the people of [MTY] those cities. The merchants of the earth have become rich [because the people of those cities] strongly desired [and bought from the merchants] many (luxuries/expensive things).”
4 Oo haddana waxaan maqlay cod kale oo samada ka dhawaaqaya oo leh, Dadkaygiiyow, iyada ka soo baxa, yeydnan dembiyadeeda la qaybsane, oo aydnaan belaayooyinkeeda heline;
I heard [Jesus] speak from heaven. He said, “My people, flee from [those cities], in order that you do not sin as the people [of those cities do. If you sin as they do], I will punish you as I will punish them.
5 waayo, dembiyadeedii waxay gaadheen xataa samada, oo Ilaahna wuu xusuustay xaqdarradeedii:
[It is as though] their sins have been piled {have piled} up to heaven, and God remembers them [DOU], [so now he will punish them] [MTY].”
6 Iyada wax u siiya sidii ay wax idiin siisay oo kale, oo weliba u sii labanlaaba sida shuqulkeedu ahaa; oo koobkii ay wax idiinku qastay, wax ugu qasa labanlaab.
[To the angels whom God assigned to punish those cities, Jesus said], “Pay back/Punish the people of those cities to the same extent that they harmed [other people]. Cause them to suffer twice as much [as they caused other people to suffer] [DOU, MET].
7 Oo intii ay isfaanisay iyo intii ay raaxaysatay oo kale, waxaad iyada siisaan caddibaad iyo murug; waayo, iyadu waxay qalbigeeda iska tidhaahdaa, Anigoo boqorad ah ayaan iska fadhiyaa, oo carmalna ma ihi, oo sinaba murug u arki maayo.
To the same extent that they have boasted about themselves and done the things that they wanted to do, to that extent torment them and cause them to grieve. [Do that because] in their minds they think, ‘We rule as queens! We are not widows, and we will never mourn [as widows do]’!
8 Sidaas daraaddeed maalin keliya waxaa iyada u iman doona belaayooyinkeeda, kuwaas oo ah dhimasho iyo murug iyo abaar; oo iyada kulligeed waxaa lagu gubi doonaa dab, waayo, Rabbiga Ilaaha ah oo iyada xukumay waa xoog badan yahay.
So in one day terrible calamities/troubles will come upon them. [The people in those cities] will die, others will mourn for them, people will be hungry [because there will be no food], and [their cities] will be burned up. The Lord God is able to punish those cities [like that], because he is very powerful.”
9 Oo boqorradii dunida oo iyada ka sinaystay oo la raaxaystay ayaa u ooyi doona oo u barooran doona markii ay arkaan qiiqa gubashadeeda,
“The kings of the earth who have acted immorally [with people of those cities] and have lived with the people of those cities, doing just what they wanted to do, will weep and mourn [DOU] for them when they see the smoke of the fire that is burning those cities.
10 iyagoo meel fog la taagan cabsida caddibaaddeeda, oo waxay odhan doonaan, Waxaa hoogtay oo hoogtay magaalada weyn oo Baabuloon, taasoo ah magaalada xoogga badan! Waayo, xukunkaagu saacad keliya buu ku yimid.
They will stand far away [from those cities], because they will be afraid [that they will suffer just like the people of those cities] are suffering. They will say, ‘Terrible things will happen to the awesome and mighty cities [represented by] Babylon! [God] will punish them suddenly and swiftly [MTY]!’
11 Oo baayacmushtariyadii duniduna iyaday u ooyaan oo u baroortaan, waayo, ninna hadda ka dib iibsan maayo shixnaddoodii;
The merchants of the earth will weep and will mourn [DOU] [for those cities], because no one will ever again buy the things that they have [to sell to the people in those cities].
12 shixnaddaas oo ah dahab, iyo lacag, iyo dhagaxyo qaali ah, iyo luul, iyo dhar wanaagsan, iyo dhar guduudan, iyo xariir, iyo dhar cas, iyo alwaax kasta oo tu'inos ah, iyo weel kasta oo foolmaroodi laga sameeyey, iyo weel kasta oo alwaax qaali ah laga sameeyey, iyo kuwa laga sameeyey naxaas, iyo bir, iyo marmar,
[They sell ornaments made] of gold, silver, precious stones, and pearls. They sell [expensive cloth made of] fine linen and silk, [expensive cloth that is dyed] purple and crimson. They sell all kinds of [rare] wood, all kinds of items [made of] ivory, costly wood, bronze, iron, and marble. They sell cinnamon, spice, perfume, frankincense, wine, olive oil, fine flour, and grain. They sell cattle, sheep, horses, and chariots. They even sell human beings [SYN, DOU] to become slaves.
13 iyo qorfe, iyo xawaash, iyo uunsi, iyo barafuun, iyo foox, iyo khamri, iyo saliid, iyo bur wanaagsan, iyo sarreen, iyo lo', iyo ido, iyo fardo, iyo gaadhifardood, iyo addoommo, iyo nafaha dadka.
14 Oo midhihii naftaadu ay damacday way kaa tageen, oo waxyaalihii fiicanaa oo dhalaalayay oo dhammuna way kaa baabbe'een, oo mar dambena lama heli doono.
[The merchants will say], ‘The good things you people longed to have are gone! All your luxurious and splendid [DOU] [possessions have vanished!]! They will be gone forever/You will never have them again [LIT]!’
15 Oo baayacmushtariyadii alaabtaas lahaa oo iyada taajir ku noqday, waxay meel fog la istaagi doonaan cabsida caddibaaddeeda iyagoo ooyaya oo barooranaya;
The merchants [who sold] these things and who had become rich by [supplying them] for those [cities] will stand far away, because they will be afraid [that they will suffer just like] the people [of those cities] are suffering. They will weep and mourn [DOU],
16 oo waxay odhan doonaan, Waxaa hoogtay oo hoogtay magaalada weyn, tii qabi jirtay dhar wanaagsan, iyo dhar guduudan, iyo dhar cas, oo ku sharraxnaan jirtay dahab, iyo dhagaxyo qaali ah, iyo luul.
and they will say, ‘Terrible things [DOU] have happened to the awesome/great [MET] cities! [They were like queens] who dressed themselves in [clothes made of] [MTY] fine linen [cloth] and expensive cloth dyed purple and crimson, and who were adorned with gold, precious stones, and pearls.
17 Waayo, maalka saas u badanu saacad keliya buu ku baabba'ay. Oo waxaa meel fog istaagay naakhude kasta, iyo mid kasta oo dhoofa, iyo ragga baxriyiinta ah, iyo in alla inta badda ka faa'iidaysata,
But suddenly and swiftly [MTY] [God] has destroyed these expensive things.’ Every ship captain, all people who travel by ship, all (sailors/those who work on ships), and all others who earn their living [by traveling on] the ocean will stand far away [from those cities].
18 oo way qayliyeen markii ay arkeen qiiqii gubashadeeda, waxayna yidhaahdeen, Bal magaaladee baa la mid ah magaalada weyn?
When they see the smoke of the fire that is burning those cities, they will shout, ‘No [other] cities have ever been so awesome!’ [RHQ]
19 Oo iyana intay madaxa boodh ku shubteen ayay qayliyeen oo ooyeen oo baroorteen, oo waxay yidhaahdeen, Waxaa hoogtay oo hoogtay magaaladii weynayd oo kulli inta badda doonniyaha ku lahu ay dhexdeeda kaga taajireen maalkeedii, waayo, iyadii saacad keliya bay baabba'day.
They will throw dust on their heads [to show that they are sad], and they will shout, weep, and mourn [DOU]. They will say, ‘Terrible things have happened to the awesome/great cities, the cities that made all people who own ships [that sail] on the ocean become rich by [carrying] their costly (things for them to sell/merchandise)! [God] has suddenly and swiftly destroyed [MTY] those cities!’”
20 Haddaba iyada ku farxa, samaday, iyo quduusiintay, iyo rasuulladow, iyo nebiyadow, waayo, Ilaah xukunkiinnii iyaduu ku xukumay.
Then someone spoke from heaven saying, “All you who live in heaven, rejoice over what has happened to [the cities represented by] Babylon! You who are God’s people, including you apostles, you (prophets/who speak messages that come directly from God), rejoice, because God has justly punished the people of those cities because they acted in an evil way toward you!”
21 Markaasaa malaa'ig xoog weynu waxay kor u qaadatay dhagax u eg dhagaxshiid weyn, oo waxay ku dhex tuurtay badda, oo waxay tidhi, Magaalada weyn oo Baabuloon sidaas oo kale xoog baa hoos loogu tuuri doonaa, oo hadda ka dibna lama heli doono.
Then a mighty angel picked up a boulder the size of a large stone for grinding grain, and threw it into the ocean. Then he said, “O you people in [APO] the awesome/great cities [represented by] Babylon, your cities will be destroyed so that they will disappear just like that stone disappeared in the ocean! Your cities will be gone forever [LIT]!
22 Oo mar dambe dhexdaada lagama maqli doono codka kataaralayda, iyo muusikalayda, iyo kuwa biibiilaha ka dhawaajiya, iyo kuwa turumbada ka dhawaajiya; oo dhexdaada innaba lagama heli doono sancalow sanco kasta ha qabtee; oo sanqadha dhagaxshiidkana dhexdaada innaba lagama maqli doono mar dambe;
In your cities there will never again be [anyone] playing harps, singing, playing flutes, and blowing trumpets. There will no longer be any (skilled workers/craftsmen) making things. There will never again be people grinding [grain at] [MTY] the mills.
23 oo laambad iftiinkeedna mar dambe dhexdaada innaba kama ifi doono, oo codkii arooska iyo aroosaddana dhexdaada innaba mar dambe lagama maqli doono, waayo, baayacmushtariyadaadu waxay ahaayeen amiirradii dhulka, maxaa yeelay, saaxirnimadaadii ayaa quruumaha oo dhan lagu khiyaaneeyey.
No lamplight will ever again shine. There will never again be the [happy] voices of a bridegroom and his bride. [God will destroy your cities] because your merchants were the most [deceitful] men in the world. You persuaded them to deceive [people of] [MTY] all nations.
24 Oo dhexdeeda waxaa laga helay dhiiggii nebiyadii iyo quduusiintii iyo dhiiggii kuwii dhulka lagu dilay oo dhan.
You are also [responsible for killing] [MTY] [the] prophets and [others] of God’s people. Indeed, you are the ones who are guilty for the deaths of all those who have been {whom [others] have} killed on the earth!”
