Sekaryaah 10

1 Xilliga roobka dambe roob ka barya Rabbiga, isagoo ah Rabbiga hillaaca sameeya, oo iyaguu siin doonaa roob wanaagsan, oo wuxuu qof kasta beerta ku siin doonaa doog.

Ask Yahweh to cause rain to fall (in the springtime/before the hot season starts), [because] he is the one who makes the clouds [from which the rain falls]. He causes showers to fall on us, and he causes crops to grow well in the fields.

2 Waayo, teraafiimkii waxay ku hadleen wax aan waxba ahayn, waxsheegayaashiina wax been ah bay arkeen, oo waxay sheegeen riyooyin been ah, oo si aan waxtar lahayn ayay ugu qalbi qaboojiyaan, haddaba sidaas daraaddeed waxay u ambadaan sida ido oo kale, oo aad bay u dhibtoodaan, maxaa yeelay, adhijir ma leh.

[What people think that] the idols in their houses suggest [is only] nonsense, and people who [say that they can] interpret dreams tell [only] lies. When they [tell people things to] comfort [them, what they say] is useless, so the people [who (consult/trust in) them] are like lost sheep; they are attacked because they have no [one to protect them] [like] [MET] a shepherd [protects his sheep].

3 Adhijirrada aad baan ugu cadhooday, oo waxaan ciqaabi doonaa orgida, waayo, Rabbiga ciidammadu wuxuu soo booqday idihiisii ahaa dadka dalka Yahuudah, oo wuxuu ka dhigi doonaa sida faraskiisa sharafta leh oo dagaalka ku jira.

[Yahweh says, ] “I am angry with the leaders [MET] of my people, and I will punish them. [I, ] the Commander of the armies of angels, take care of my people, the people of Judah, [like a shepherd takes care of his] [MET] flock, and I will cause them to be like [SIM] proud/powerful war horses.

4 Waxaa isaga ka iman doona dhagaxa rukunka, oo dhidibkuna isaguu ka iman doonaa, qaansada dagaalkuna isagay ka iman doontaa, oo taliye kastaana isaguu ka iman doonaa.

From Judah will come rulers [who will be very important], [like] [MET] a cornerstone is [the most important stone for a house], [like] [MET] a tent peg [is very important for a tent], [like] [MET] a bow [is very important for (an archer/a man who shoots arrows]).

5 Oo iyana waxay ahaan doonaan sida rag xoog badan oo dagaal gala oo cadowgooda kula tunta dhoobada jidadka dhex taal. Wayna diriri doonaan, maxaa yeelay, Rabbiga ayaa iyaga la jira. Oo kuwa fardaha ku joogaana way isku qasmi doonaan.

They will all be like [SIM] mighty warriors trampling [their enemies] in the mud during a battle. [I, ] Yahweh, will be with them, so they will fight and defeat their enemies who ride on horses.

6 Reer Yahuudah waan xoogayn doonaa, waanan badbaadin doonaa reer Yuusuf, oo mar kalaan soo celin doonaa, waayo, waan u naxariisanayaa, oo waxay noqon doonaan sidii iyagoo aanan xoorin, waayo, waxaan ahay Rabbiga Ilaahooda ah, oo waan maqli doonaa iyaga.

I will cause the people [MTY] of Judah to become strong, and I will rescue the people [MTY] of Israel. I will bring them back [from the countries to which they were (exiled/forced to go)]; [I will do that] because I pity them. Then they will be as though I had not abandoned them, because I am Yahweh, their God, and I will answer them [when they pray for help].

7 Oo kuwa reer Efrayimna waxay noqon doonaan sida nin xoog badan, oo qalbigooduna wuxuu u rayrayn doonaa sidii iyagoo khamri ka wabxay, oo carruurtooduna way arki doonaan, oo way rayrayn doonaan, oo qalbigooduna waa ku farxi doonaa Rabbiga.

The people of Israel will be like [SIM] strong soldiers; they will be as happy as [people who have drunk a lot of] wine. Their children will see [their fathers being very happy], and they [also] will be happy because of what Yahweh [has done for them].

8 Anigu waan u foodhyi doonaa iyaga, oo waan isu soo wada ururin doonaa, waayo, waan soo furtay, oo waxay u badan doonaan siday u badnaan jireen.

I will signal for my people [to return from (being exiled/other countries)], and I will gather them together [in their own country]. I will rescue them, and they will become very numerous like [they were] previously.

9 Waxaan iyaga ku beeri doonaa dadyowga dhexdooda, wayna igu soo xusuusan doonaan waddammo fog. Way noolaan doonaan iyaga iyo carruurtooda, oo way soo noqon doonaan.

I have caused them to be scattered among many people-groups, but in those distant countries they will think about me again. They and their children will remain alive and return [to Judah].

10 Mar kalaan ka soo bixin doonaa dalkii Masar, Ashuurna waan ka soo ururin doonaa, oo waxaan iyaga keeni doonaa dalka Gilecaad iyo Lubnaan, oo weliba meel looma heli doono.

I will bring them [back] from Egypt and from Assyria; I will bring them [back] from the Gilead and Lebanon [regions], and there will hardly be enough [HYP] space for them all [to live in Judah].

11 Oo isagu wuxuu dhex mari doonaa badda dhibaatada, oo wax buu ku dhufan doonaa hirarka badda, oo Webi Niil moolkiisuna waa engegi doonaa, oo kibirka Ashuurna waa la soo dejin doonaa, oo usha boqortooyada Masarna way iska baabbi'i doontaa.

They will endure/experience many difficulties [as though they were walking] [MET] through a sea, but [I] will calm the waves of the sea; the Nile [River which is usually] deep will dry up. [I] will defeat the proud [soldiers of] Assyria, and [I will cause] Egypt to no longer be powerful [MTY].

12 Oo iyagaan ku xoogayn doonaa Rabbiga, oo hor iyo dibba way ugu socon doonaan magiciisa, ayaa Rabbigu leeyahay.

I will enable my people to be strong, and they will honor me and obey [IDM] me. [That will surely happen because I, ] Yahweh, have said it.”
