Sekaryaah 7
1 Oo Boqor Daariyus sannaddiisii afraad ayaa eraygii Rabbigu u yimid Sekaryaah maalintii afraad oo bisha sagaalaad, taasoo ah bisha Kislee'u.
It happened in the fourth year of king Daryavesh that the word of the LORD came to Zechariah in the fourth day of the ninth month, the month of Chislev.
2 Haddaba reer Beytel waxay soo direen Shareser iyo Regem Meleg iyo raggoodiiba inay Rabbiga baryaan,
The people of Bethel sent Sharezer and Regem Melech, and their men, to entreat the LORD's favor,
3 iyo inay la hadlaan wadaaddadii guriga Rabbiga ciidammada, iyo nebiyadii, oo ay ku yidhaahdaan, Miyaan bisha shanaad ooyaa, oo miyaan gooni iska dhigaa sidii aan yeeli jiray sannadahan badan oo dhan?
and to speak to the priests of the house of the LORD of hosts, and to the prophets, saying, "Should I weep in the fifth month, separating myself, as I have done these so many years?"
4 Oo haddana waxaa ii yimid Eraygii Rabbiga oo wuxuu igu yidhi,
Then the word of the LORD of hosts came to me, saying,
5 Waxaad la hadashaa dadka dalka deggan oo dhan iyo wadaaddadaba, oo waxaad ku tidhaahdaa, Markaad soomi jirteen oo aad barooran jirteen bisha shanaad iyo bisha toddobaad, oo ah toddobaatankan sannadood, miyaad innaba aniga ii soomi jirteen?
"Speak to all the people of the land, and to the priests, saying, 'When you fasted and mourned in the fifth and in the seventh month for these seventy years, did you at all fast to me, really to me?
6 Oo markaad wax cuntaan, iyo markaad wax cabtaan, miyaydaan nafsaddiinna u cunin oo miyaydaan nafsaddiinna u cabbin?
When you eat, and when you drink, do you not eat for yourselves, and drink for yourselves?
7 Sow ma aha erayadii Rabbigu kaga dhex qayliyey nebiyadii hore, markii Yeruusaalem la degganaa oo ay barwaaqada ku dhex jirtay, oo la wada degganaa magaalooyinka hareeraheeda ku wareegsan iyo xagga koonfureed iyo bannaankaba?
Aren't these the words which the LORD proclaimed by the former prophets, when Jerusalem was inhabited and in prosperity, and its cities around her, and the Negev and the lowland were inhabited?'"
8 Markaasaa eraygii Rabbigu u yimid Sekaryaah, isagoo leh,
The word of the LORD came to Zechariah, saying,
9 Rabbiga ciidammadu sidan buu ku hadlay oo yidhi, Garsoorid daacad ah naqa, oo nin waluba walaalkiis ha u sameeyo naxariis iyo raxmad.
"Thus has the LORD of hosts spoken, saying, 'Execute true judgment, and show kindness and compassion every man to his brother.
10 Hana dulmina carmalka, ama agoonta, ama qariibka, ama masaakiinta, oo midkiinna yuusan qalbiga xumaan ugu fikirin walaalkiis.
Do not oppress the widow, nor the fatherless, the foreigner, nor the poor; and let none of you devise evil against his brother in your heart.'
11 Laakiinse way diideen inay dhegaystaan, oo intay caasiyeen ayay dhegaha furaysteen, si ayan u maqlin.
But they refused to listen, and turned their backs, and stopped their ears, that they might not hear.
12 Oo waxay qalbigoodii ka dhigeen sidii dhagax adag oo kale si ayan u maqlin sharcigii iyo erayadii Rabbiga ciidammadu uu ku soo dhiibay ruuxiisa markuu nebiyadiisii hore soo diray, oo sidaas daraaddeed waxaa Rabbiga ciidammada ka timid cadho weyn.
Yes, they made their hearts as hard as flint, lest they might hear the law, and the words which the LORD of hosts had sent by his Spirit by the former prophets. Therefore great wrath came from the LORD of hosts.
13 Oo sidii uu u dhawaaqay oo iyana ay maqli waayeen, sidaas oo kalay u qayliyeen, oo anna ma aan maqlin, ayaa Rabbiga ciidammadu yidhi,
It has come to pass that, as he called, and they refused to listen, so they will call, and I will not listen," said the LORD of hosts;
14 laakiinse waxaan iyaga ku kala firdhiyey dabayl duufaan ah oo waxaan dhex geeyey quruumaha ayan aqoon oo dhan. Sidaasuu dalkii cidla u noqday iyaga dabadood, oo ninna ma dhex marin, ciduna kuma soo noqon, waayo, dalkii wacnaa cidla baa laga dhigay.
"but I will scatter them with a whirlwind among all the nations which they have not known. Thus the land was desolate after them, so that no man passed through nor returned: for they made the pleasant land desolate."
