Sefanyaah 3
1 Waxaa iska hoogtay magaalada caasiyowday oo nijaasowday oo wax dulunta!
WOE to her that is filthy and polluted, to the oppressing city!
2 Iyadu codkii ma ay addeecin, oo edbintiina ma ay aqbalin, oo Rabbiga iskuma ay hallayn, oo Ilaahna kuma ay soo dhowaan.
She obeyed not the voice; she received not correction; she trusted not in the Lord; she drew not near to her God.
3 Amiirradeeda iyada dhex jooga waa sida libaaxyo ciyaya, xaakinnadeeduna waa sida yeey habeennimo oo aan waxba tan iyo aroortii reebin.
Her princes within her are roaring lions; her judges are evening wolves; they gnaw not the bones till the morrow.
4 Nebiyadeedu waa kuwo fudud oo khiyaano badan, oo wadaaddadeediina meeshii quduuska ahayd ayay nijaaseeyeen, oo sharcigiina si xun bay u dhaafeen.
Her prophets are light and treacherous persons: her priests have polluted the sanctuary, they have done violence to the law.
5 Rabbiga dhexdeeda jooga waa xaq, oo innaba xumaan ma samayn doono, oo caddaaladdiisana aroor kastaba wuu soo saaraa, oo marnaba kama baaqdo, laakiinse caddaaladlaawuhu isma ceebsan yaqaan.
The just Lord is in the midst thereof; he will not do iniquity: every morning doth he bring his judgment to light, he faileth not; but the unjust knoweth no shame.
6 Anigu quruumo ayaan baabbi'iyey, oo qalcadahoodiina waa baabba', oo jidadkoodiina cidla baan ka dhigay si aan ciduna u marin, oo magaalooyinkoodiina waa la dumiyey, si aan qofna u joogin oo aan cid keliyuhuna u degganaan.
I have cut off the nations: their towers are desolate; I made their streets waste, that none passeth by: their cities are destroyed, so that there is no man, that there is none inhabitant.
7 Waxaan idhi, Sida xaqiiqada ah waad iga cabsan doontaa, oo edbin baad aqbali doontaa. Markaas hoygeedu uma uu baabbe'een sidii aan iyada u goostay. Laakiinse aroor horay keceen oo falimahoodii oo dhan way xumeeyeen.
I said, Surely thou wilt fear me, thou wilt receive instruction; so their dwelling should not be cut off, howsoever I punished them: but they rose early, and corrupted all their doings.
8 Haddaba i suga, ayaa Rabbigu leeyahay, ilaa maalinta aan ugaadhsade u soo kici doono, waayo, waxaan ku talajiraa inaan quruumaha isu soo ururiyo oo aan boqortooyooyinka isu soo shiriyo, si aan korkooda ugu shubo dhirifkayga iyo xataa xanaaqayga kulul oo dhan, waayo, dhulka oo dhan waxaa baabbi'in doona dabka qiiradayda.
Therefore wait ye upon me, saith the Lord, until the day that I rise up to the prey: for my determination is to gather the nations, that I may assemble the kingdoms, to pour upon them mine indignation, even all my fierce anger: for all the earth shall be devoured with the fire of my jealousy.
9 Waayo, markaas ayaan dadyowga siin doonaa af daahir ah, si ay kulligood magaca Rabbiga ugu yeedhaan, oo ay isaga ugu adeegaan isku niyad keliya.
For then will I turn to the people a pure language, that they may all call upon the name of the Lord, to serve him with one consent.
10 Kuwa i barya oo ah dadkayga firidhsan waxay webiyaasha Itoobiya shishadooda ka keeni doonaan qurbaankayga.
From beyond the rivers of Ethiopia my suppliants, even the daughter of my dispersed, shall bring mine offering.
11 Wakhtigaas uma aad ceeboobi doontid falimahaaga oo dhan, kuwaas oo aad igaga xadgudubtay, waayo, markaas waxaan dhexdaada ka bixin doonaa kuwaaga kibray oo isfaaninaya, oo adna mar dambe ku madax weynaan maysid buurtayda quduuska ah.
In that day shalt thou not be ashamed for all thy doings, wherein thou hast transgressed against me: for then I will take away out of the midst of thee them that rejoice in thy pride, and thou shalt no more be haughty because of my holy mountain.
12 Laakiinse dhexdaada waxaan uga tegi doonaa dad dhibaataysan oo masaakiin ah, oo iyana magaca Rabbiga ayay isku hallayn doonaan.
I will also leave in the midst of thee an afflicted and poor people, and they shall trust in the name of the Lord.
13 Kuwa reer binu Israa'iil ka hadhay xumaan ma samayn doonaan, beenna ma sheegi doonaan, oo afkoodana innaba carrab khiyaano badan lagama heli doono, waayo, iyagu wax bay quudan doonaan oo way iska jiifsan doonaan, oo waxba iyaga ma cabsiin doonaan.
The remnant of Israel shall not do iniquity, nor speak lies; neither shall a deceitful tongue be found in their mouth: for they shall feed and lie down, and none shall make them afraid.
14 Magaalada Siyoonay, gabay, reer binu Israa'iilow, qayliya, Magaalada Yeruusaalemay, farax oo qalbiga oo dhan ku reyree.
Sing, O daughter of Zion; shout, O Israel; be glad and rejoice with all the heart, O daughter of Jerusalem.
15 Rabbigu wuxuu qaaday xukummadaadii, oo cadowgaagiina wuu tuuray. Boqorkii reer binu Israa'iil oo Rabbiga ah ayaa dhexdaada jooga, oo mar dambe shar ka baqi maysid.
The Lord hath taken away thy judgments, he hath cast out thine enemy: the king of Israel, even the Lord, is in the midst of thee: thou shalt not see evil any more.
16 Wakhtigaas waxaa Yeruusaalem lagu odhan doonaa, Ha cabsan, Siyoonay, yaan gacmahaagu debcin.
In that day it shall be said to Jerusalem, Fear thou not: and to Zion, Let not thine hands be slack.
17 Rabbiga Ilaahaaga ah ayaa dhexdaada jooga, isagu waa mid xoog badan oo ku badbaadin doona. Farxad buu kuugu rayrayn doonaa, oo wuxuu ku nasan doonaa jacaylkiisa, oo gabay buu kuugu farxi doonaa.
The Lord thy God in the midst of thee is mighty; he will save, he will rejoice over thee with joy; he will rest in his love, he will joy over thee with singing.
18 Waxaan soo ururin doonaa kuwaagii laga masaafuriyey oo haatan u murugaysan shirka quduuska ah, kuwaasoo culaabta kor saaranu ay cay ahayd.
I will gather them that are sorrowful for the solemn assembly, who are of thee, to whom the reproach of it was a burden.
19 Bal eeg, wakhtigaas anigaa la macaamiloon doona kuwa ku dhiba oo dhan, oo waan badbaadin doonaa kuwa dhutiya, oo kuwii la eryayna waan soo ururin doonaa, oo kuwii ceebtoodu ay wada gaadhay dhulka oo dhan ayaan u yeeli doonaa ammaan iyo magac.
Behold, at that time I will undo all that afflict thee: and I will save her that halteth, and gather her that was driven out; and I will get them praise and fame in every land where they have been put to shame.
20 Oo wakhtigaas waan idin soo gelin doonaa gudaha, oo wakhtigaas waan idin soo ururin doonaa, waayo, dadyowga dunida jooga oo dhan waxaan idiinku dhex yeeli doonaa magac iyo ammaan, markaan maxaabiistiinnii oo dhan hortiinna ku soo celiyo, ayaa Rabbigu leeyahay.
At that time will I bring you again, even in the time that I gather you: for I will make you a name and a praise among all people of the earth, when I turn back your captivity before your eyes, saith the Lord.
