Sefanyaah 3
1 Waxaa iska hoogtay magaalada caasiyowday oo nijaasowday oo wax dulunta!
Woe to her who is rebellious and polluted, 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 didn’t obey the voice. She didn’t receive correction. She didn’t trust in the LORD. She didn’t draw 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 leave nothing until the next day.
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 arrogant and treacherous people. Her priests have profaned 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 LORD, within her, is righteous. He will do no wrong. Every morning he brings his justice to light. He doesn’t fail, but the unjust know 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 nations. Their battlements are desolate. I have made their streets waste, so that no one passes by. Their cities are destroyed, so that there is no man, so that there is no 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, “Just fear me. Receive correction,” so that her dwelling won’t be cut off, according to all that I have appointed concerning her. 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 for me”, says 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 on them my indignation, even all my fierce anger, for all the earth will 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 I will purify the lips of the peoples, that they may all call on the LORD’s name, to serve him shoulder to shoulder.
10 Kuwa i barya oo ah dadkayga firidhsan waxay webiyaasha Itoobiya shishadooda ka keeni doonaan qurbaankayga.
From beyond the rivers of Cush, my worshippers, even the daughter of my dispersed people, will bring my 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 you will not be disappointed for all your doings in which you have transgressed against me; for then I will take away out from amongst you your proudly exulting ones, and you will no more be arrogant in my holy mountain.
12 Laakiinse dhexdaada waxaan uga tegi doonaa dad dhibaataysan oo masaakiin ah, oo iyana magaca Rabbiga ayay isku hallayn doonaan.
But I will leave amongst you an afflicted and poor people, and they will take refuge in the LORD’s name.
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 will not do iniquity nor speak lies, neither will a deceitful tongue be found in their mouth, for they will feed and lie down, and no one will make them afraid.”
14 Magaalada Siyoonay, gabay, reer binu Israa'iilow, qayliya, Magaalada Yeruusaalemay, farax oo qalbiga oo dhan ku reyree.
Sing, daughter of Zion! Shout, Israel! Be glad and rejoice with all your heart, 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 has taken away your judgements. He has thrown out your enemy. The King of Israel, the LORD, is amongst you. You will not be afraid of evil any more.
16 Wakhtigaas waxaa Yeruusaalem lagu odhan doonaa, Ha cabsan, Siyoonay, yaan gacmahaagu debcin.
In that day, it will be said to Jerusalem, “Don’t be afraid, Zion. Don’t let your hands be weak.”
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, your God, is amongst you, a mighty one who will save. He will rejoice over you with joy. He will calm you in his love. He will rejoice over you 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 remove those who grieve about the appointed feasts from you. They are a burden and a reproach to you.
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 deal with all those who afflict you; and I will save those who are lame and gather those who were driven away. I will give them praise and honour, whose shame has been in all the earth.
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 I will bring you in, and at that time I will gather you; for I will give you honour and praise amongst all the peoples of the earth when I restore your fortunes before your eyes, says the LORD.
