1 Kanu waa warka culus ee erayga Rabbiga oo ku saabsan dalka Israa'iil. Rabbigii samada kala bixiyey, oo aasaaska dhulka dhigay, oo dadka naftiisa ku dhex sameeyey wuxuu leeyahay,
[This is] a message from Yahweh concerning Israel. Yahweh is the one who stretched out the sky, who created the earth, and who (gave life to humans/caused humans to be alive). This is what he says:
2 Bal eeg, Yeruusaalem waxaan koob lagu dhacdhaco uga dhigi doonaa dadka ku wareegsan oo dhan, iyo weliba dalka Yahuudah, markii Yeruusaalem la hareereeyo.
“I will soon cause Jerusalem to be [like] [MET] a cup full [of very strong alcoholic drink], and the people of other nations who drink it will stagger around. And they will come and attack Jerusalem and [the other towns in] Judah.
3 Oo waxay wakhtigaas ahaan doontaa inaan Yeruusaalem dhagax culaab badan uga dhigo dadyowga oo dhan, oo intii isku culaabaysa oo dhammuna aad bay u dhaawacmi doonaan, oo quruumaha dhulka oo dhammuna iyaday isu soo urursan doonaan inay la dagaallamaan.
At that time, [the armies of] all the nations will gather to attack Jerusalem, but I will cause [the leaders of] Judah to be [like] [SIM] a very heavy rock, and all who [try to] lift it will be badly injured.
4 Rabbigu wuxuu leeyahay, Wakhtigaas faras kasta waan argaggixin doonaa, oo kan ku joogana waalli baan ku ridi doonaa, laakiin indhaha baan ku hayn doonaa dadka dalka Yahuudah, markaan faras kasta oo dadyowga indhatiro.
At that time I will cause every [one of their enemies’] horses to panic, and their riders to become crazy. I [IDM] will protect the people of Judah, but I will cause all their enemies’ horses to become blind.
5 Oo taliyayaasha dalka Yahuudahna waxay qalbiga iska odhan doonaan, Kuwa Yeruusaalem deggan xooggii ay Rabbiga ciidammada oo Ilaahooda ah ka heleen waa inoo xoog.
Then the leaders of Judah will say to themselves, ‘The people in Jerusalem are strong because the Commander of the armies of angels is their God.’
6 Wakhtigaas taliyayaasha dalka Yahuudah waxaan ka dhigi doonaa sida girgire dab ah oo qoryo ku dhex jira, iyo sida qori ololaya oo xidhmooyin hadhuudh ah ku dhex jira, oo iyana waxay wada baabbi'in doonaan dadyowga iyaga ku wareegsan oo dhan, kuwa midigta ka xiga iyo kuwa bidixda ka xigaba, oo reer Yeruusaalemna mar kalay degganaan doonaan meeshooda, taasoo ah Yeruusaalem qudheeda.
At that time I will enable the leaders of Judah to be like [SIM] a pan containing hot coals [that is put] in a woodpile [to set it on fire], or like [SIM] a burning torch [that is put] in a [field of] ripe grain [to set it on fire]. The leaders of Judah [and their army] will destroy the people of the surrounding nations in all directions. But [the people of] Jerusalem will remain safe.
7 Oo weliba Rabbigu wuxuu marka hore badbaadin doonaa teendhooyinka dadka Yahuudah, in sharafta reer Daa'uud iyo sharafta dadka Yeruusaalem degganu ayan ka sii weynaan tan dadka Yahuudah.
And [I], Yahweh, will protect the tents of [the soldiers in other places in] Judah before [I rescue the people of Jerusalem], in order that the leaders of Jerusalem [DOU] will not be honored more than [the people in other places in] Judah [are honored].
8 Wakhtigaas Rabbigu wuxuu daafici doonaa dadka Yeruusaalem deggan, oo kii iyaga ugu tabaryaru wakhtigaas wuxuu ahaan doonaa sida Daa'uud oo kale, oo reer Daa'uudna wuxuu noqon doonaa sida Ilaah oo kale, iyo sida malaa'igtii Rabbiga oo iyaga hor socota.
At that time, I will protect [MET] the people of Jerusalem. When that happens, even the weakest people in Jerusalem will be [strong] like [King] David [was]. And the descendants [MTY] of David will [rule the people] like I [would], as though an angel sent from [me], Yahweh, was their leader.
9 Oo wakhtigaas waxaan doondoonayaa inaan wada baabbi'iyo quruumaha Yeruusaalem ku kaca oo dhan.
At that time, I will prepare to destroy all the nations that attack Jerusalem.”
10 Oo reer Daa'uud iyo dadka Yeruusaalem degganba waxaan ku shubi doonaa ruuxa raxmadda iyo baryootanka, oo waxay arki doonaan aniga oo ah kii ay wareemeen, oo iyana isagay ugu barooran doonaan sida mid ugu baroorto wiilkiisa madiga ah, oo aad bay ugu murugoon doonaan isaga, sida mid ugu murugoodo curadkiisa.
“I, [Yahweh, ] will cause the descendants [MTY] of [King] David to act very kindly and mercifully. They will look at me, [the one] who has been stabbed, and they will cry bitterly, like people cry for a firstborn son [who has died] [DOU].
11 Wakhtigaas Yeruusaalem waxaa jiri doonta baroorasho weyn oo ah sidii baroorashadii Hadad-Rimmoon taasoo ku dhex tiil dooxada Megiddoo.
At that time, many people in Jerusalem will be crying bitterly, like people cried [when King Josiah was killed in the battle] at Hadad-Rimmon on the Megiddo Plain.
12 Oo dalkuna waa wada barooran doonaa, qoys kastaba gooni ahaantiisa, qoyska reer Daa'uud gooni ahaantiis, naagahooduna gooni ahaantood, qoyska reer Naataanna gooni ahaantiis, naagahooduna gooni ahaantood,
Many people in Judah will cry, each family by themselves: the male descendants of David by themselves, and their wives by themselves, the male descendants of [David’s son] Nathan by themselves, and their wives by themselves,
13 qoyska reer Laawina gooni ahaantiis, naagahooduna gooni ahaantood, qoyska reer Shimciina gooni ahaantiis, naagahooduna gooni ahaantood,
the male descendants [MTY] of Levi by themselves, and their wives by themselves, the male descendants of [Levi’s grandson] Shimei by themselves, and their wives by themselves,
14 qoysaska hadhay oo dhan, mid kastaba gooni ahaantiis, naagahooduna gooni ahaantood.
and all the other members [of the kings’ clans and the priests’ clans] by themselves, and their wives by themselves.”
