< Yeremyaah 13 >

1 Rabbigu wuxuu igu yidhi, Tag oo waxaad soo iibsataa gunti maro wanaagsan ah oo dhexda ku xidho, oo marnaba biyo ha dhex gelin.
[One day] Yahweh said to me, “Go and buy a linen waistcloth. Put it on, but do not wash it.”
2 Sidaas daraaddeed gunti baan soo iibsaday sidii erayga Rabbigu ahaa, oo dhexdaan ku xidhay.
So I bought a [very nice] waistcloth, which is what Yahweh told me to do, and I put it on.
3 Oo haddana mar labaad ayaa eraygii Rabbigu ii yimid, oo wuxuu igu yidhi,
Then [later] Yahweh gave me another message.
4 Waxaad qaadataa guntigii aad soo iibsatay oo haatan dhexda kuugu xidhan, oo kac, oo waxaad tagtaa xagga Webi Yufraad, oo halkaas ku qari dhagaxa weyn godkiisa.
He said, “Go to the small Perath Stream [near Jerusalem] and hide your waistcloth in a crevice/hole in the rocks.”
5 Sidaas daraaddeed waan tegey oo waxaan guntigii ku soo qariyey Webi Yufraad agtiisa, sidii Rabbigu igu amray.
So I went to the stream and did what Yahweh told me to do.
6 Oo maalmo badan dabadeed ayaa Rabbigu igu yidhi, Kac oo waxaad tagtaa xagga Webi Yufraad, oo waxaad halkaas ka soo bixisaa guntigii aan kugu amray inaad halkaas ku qariso.
A long time later, Yahweh said to me, “Go [back] to that stream and get the waistcloth that I told you to hide there.”
7 Markaasaan Webi Yufraad tegey, oo intaan qoday ayaan guntigii ka soo bixiyey meeshii aan ku qariyey, oo bal eeg, guntigii wuu ba'ay, oo waxba ma taraynin.
So I went to the Perath Stream and dug out the waistcloth from the crevice/hole in which I had hidden it. But it was ruined, and useless.
8 Markaasaa eraygii Rabbigu ii yimid oo wuxuu igu yidhi,
Then Yahweh gave me this message:
9 Rabbigu wuxuu leeyahay, Sidaas oo kale ayaan u bi'in doonaa kibirka dadka Yahuudah, iyo kibirka weyn oo Yeruusaalemba.
“[What happened to your waistcloth] shows that I will destroy the things that [the people of] Jerusalem and [other places in] Judah are very proud of.
10 Dadkan sharka ah, oo diida inay erayadayda maqlaan, oo iska daba gala caasinimada qalbigooda, oo raaca ilaahyo kale inay iyaga u adeegaan oo caabudaan, waxay kulligood noqon doonaan sida guntigan aan waxba taraynin oo kale.
Those wicked people refuse to pay attention to what I say. They stubbornly do just what they desire to do; they worship other gods. Therefore, they will become completely useless, like your waistcloth.
11 Waayo, Rabbigu wuxuu leeyahay, Sida guntigu ugu dhegsan yahay nin dhexdiis, sidaas oo kalaan uga dhigay inay aniga iigu dhegsanaadaan dadka Israa'iil oo dhan iyo dadka Yahuudah oo dhammuba, inay ii ahaadaan dad, iyo magac, iyo ammaan, iyo sharafba, laakiinse iyagu way i maqli waayeen innaba.
Just like a waistcloth clings closely/tightly to a man’s waist, I wanted the people [MTY] of Israel and Judah to cling closely to me. I wanted them to be my people, people who would praise me and honor me. But they would not pay attention [to me]. “
12 Sidaas daraaddeed waxaad iyaga u sheegtaa eraygan, oo waxaad ku tidhaahdaa, Rabbiga ah Ilaaha reer binu Israa'iil wuxuu leeyahay, Sibraar kasta waxaa laga buuxin doonaa khamri, iyaguna waxay kugu odhan doonaan, War sida runta ah miyaannan ogayn in sibraar kastaba khamri laga buuxin doono?
“[So], tell this to them: ‘Yahweh, the God whom you Israeli [people worship], says that every leather wineskin should be filled with wine.’ And [when you tell that to them], they will reply, ‘(Of course/Certainly) we know [RHQ] that all wineskins should be filled with wine!’
13 Oo markaas waxaad iyaga ku tidhaahdaa, Rabbigu wuxuu leeyahay, Bal ogaada, dadka dalkan deggan oo dhan iyo xataa boqorrada carshigii Daa'uud ku fadhiya, iyo wadaaddada, iyo nebiyada, iyo dadka Yeruusaalem deggan oo dhanba waxaan ka wada buuxin doonaa sakhraannimo.
And then you must tell them, ‘No, that is not what Yahweh means. What he said means that he will cause this land to be filled with people who are drunk. [That will include all of you]—the king who sits on the throne that King David previously sat on, the priests and the prophets, and even the common people of Jerusalem.’
14 Oo Rabbigu wuxuu leeyahay, Midba mid kalaan ku garaaci doonaa, xataa aabbayaasha iyo wiilashoodaba. Oo innaba uma aan nixi doono, umana aan tudhi doono, umana aan naxariisan doono, waanan wada baabbi'in doonaa.
[He is saying], ‘I will cause you to bash each other. [Even] parents will bash their children. I will not pity you or act mercifully toward you at all; pitying you will not prevent me from getting rid of you.’”
15 Maqla, oo dheg u dhiga, hana kibrina, waayo, Rabbigu wuu hadlay.
[You people of Judah], pay very careful attention [DOU]. Do not be proud, because Yahweh has spoken to you.
16 Rabbiga Ilaahiinna ah ammaana intuusan gudcur idinku soo dejin, iyo intaan cagihiinnu ku turunturoon buuraha gudcurka ah, oo intaad iftiin sugaysaan uusan idiinku beddelin hooskii dhimashada iyo gudcur dam ah.
[It is as though] he is ready to bring darkness on you and to cause you to stumble and fall [as you walk] on the hills when it is becoming dark. [So] praise/honor Yahweh your God before that happens. If you do not do that, you will look for light, but all you will see is darkness and gloom.
17 Laakiinse haddaad maqli weydaan, naftaydu meel qarsoon bay kibirkiinna aawadiis u ooyi doontaa, oo indhahayguna aad bay u ooyi doonaan, oo ilmaa ka soo daadan doonta, maxaa yeelay, dadkii Rabbiga waa la kaxaystay sida adhi oo kale.
And if you [still] refuse to heed what he says, [what will happen to you because of] your being proud will cause me to cry when I am alone. My eyes will be filled with tears because [you], Yahweh’s people, [whom he takes care of like a shepherd takes care of] [MET] his flock, will [all] be [captured by your enemies and] taken to other countries.
18 Oo boqorka iyo hooyadiisa boqoradda ahba waxaad ku tidhaahdaa, Is-hoosaysiiya, waayo, taajkii sharaftiinnu hoos buu madaxa uga soo dhacay.
[You people of Judah], say to the king and to his mother, “Come down from sitting on your thrones and [humbly] sit in the dust, because [your enemies] will soon snatch from your heads your glorious crowns.”
19 Magaalooyinkii koonfureed waa la xidhay, oo cid furaysaana ma jirto. Dadka Yahuudah oo dhan maxaabiis ahaan baa loo kaxaystay, oo kulligood maxaabiis ahaan baa loo wada kaxaystay.
The towns in the southern part of Judah will be surrounded by your enemies, and no one will be able to get through their lines [to rescue the people in those towns]. [You people of] Judah will be captured and taken away; you will all be (exiled/taken [to foreign countries)].
20 Indhihiinna kor u qaada, oo bal waxaad fiirisaan kuwa woqooyi ka soo socda, bal meeh adhigii lagu siiyey oo ah xayntaadii quruxda badnayd?
[You leaders of Jerusalem], open your eyes and look: [The enemy armies are ready to] march down from the north. [When that happens], what will happen to [RHQ] the [people of Judah who are like] a beautiful flock of sheep, people that he gave to you to take care of?
21 Bal maxaad odhan doontaa markii madax lagaaga dhigo kuwaad bartay inay saaxiibbo kuu noqdaan? Sow xanuun kuuma qaban doono sida naag foolanaysa?
What will you say [RHQ] when Yahweh appoints people from other countries to rule over you, people who you [mistakenly] thought were your friends? You will [RHQ] suffer very much pain, like a woman who is about to give birth to a baby.
22 Oo haddaad qalbigaaga iska tidhaahdid, Bal maxaa waxyaalahanu iigu dheceen? Xumaantaada badatay aawadeed ayaa darfaha dharkaaga loo xayday oo cedhbahaagiina loo qaawiyey.
You will ask yourselves, “Why is this happening to us?” [I will reply that] it is because of your many sins. That is why [soldiers of the invading armies] will lift up the skirts [of your women] and rape them.
23 Miyaa Xabashi midabkiisa beddeli karaa, shabeelse miyuu barihiisa beddeli karaa? Markaas idinka xumaanta u bartayba wanaag baad samayn kari doontaan.
A man from Ethiopia certainly cannot [RHQ] change the color of his [black] skin, and a leopard certainly cannot [RHQ] change its spots. Similarly, you cannot start doing what is good, because you have always done what is evil.
24 Sidaas daraaddeed ayaan kala firdhin doonaa sida dabaysha cidladu ay xaab baabba'aya u kala firdhiso oo kale.
[Yahweh says], “I will scatter you like chaff that is blown away by the wind from the desert.
25 Rabbigu wuxuu leeyahay, Tanu waa qaybtaada oo ah intii aan kuu qiyaasay, maxaa yeelay, waad i illowday, oo been baad isku hallaysay.
That is what is certainly going to happen to you; the things that I have determined will happen to you, because you have forgotten me, and you are trusting in false [gods].
26 Sidaas daraaddeed darfaha dharkaagaan xaydi doonaa ilaa wejigaaga si ay ceebtaadu u muuqato aawadeed.
[It is as though] I myself will pull your skirts up over your faces and cause you to be very ashamed because everyone will be able to see your sex organs.
27 Waan arkay sinadaadii, iyo dananiddaadii, iyo wasakhnimadii dhillanimadaada kuwaasoo ahaa karaahiyadaadii aad kuraha iyo berrinkaba ku samaysay. Yeruusaalemay, adigaa iska hoogay! Ilaa goormaad diidaysaa inaad nadiifsanaato?
I have seen that you [act like men who are eager to commit adultery]; you are like male horses that whinny when they desire [to have sex with] a female horse. I have seen that you worship disgusting idols in the fields and on the hills. [You people of] Jerusalem, terrible things will happen to you! How long will it be [RHQ] until you are acceptable to me [again]?”
