Hoosheeca 12
1 Reer Efrayim waxay quutaan dabayl oo waxay daba galaan dabaysha bari. Had iyo goorba been iyo baabba' bay badiyaan, oo waxay axdi la dhigtaan dadka dalka Ashuur, saliidna Masar bay u qaadaan.
Ephraim feedeth on wind, and pursueth the east wind; the whole day he increaseth deceit and corruption; and a covenant do they make with Assyria, and oil is carried into Egypt.
2 Oo weliba Rabbigu dacwad buu la leeyahay dadka Yahuudah, oo wuxuu reer Yacquub u ciqaabi doonaa si waafaqsan jidadkooda, oo wuxuu u abaalmarin doonaa si waafaqsan falimahooda.
But with Judah also hath the Lord [to hold] a controversy; and to punish Jacob according to his ways, according to his doings will he recompense him.
3 Yacquub markuu uurka ku jiray walaalkiis buu cedhibta ku dhegay, oo markuu nin noqdayna Ilaah buu la dagaallamay.
In the womb he took his brother by the heel, and in his strength he strove with an angel.
4 Haah, oo wuxuu la dagaallamay malaa'igtii, wuuna ka adkaaday, wuuna ooyay oo baryay. Wuxuu isagii ka helay Beytel, oo halkaasuu nagula hadlay.
Yea, he strove with an angel, and prevailed; he wept, and made supplication unto him: in Beth-el he should find him, and there he will speak with us.
5 Rabbigu waa Ilaaha ciidammada. Rabbigu waa magiciisa lagu xusuusto.
And the Lord God of hosts, the Eternal One is his memorial.
6 Haddaba sidaas daraaddeed Ilaahaaga u soo jeeso, oo naxariista iyo garsooridda xaji, oo had iyo goorna Ilaahaaga sug.
Therefore do thou return to thy God: keep goodness and justice, and wait on thy God continually.
7 Dadkaygu waa baayacmushtari, oo waxaa gacanta ugu jira kafadihii khiyaanada, waxay jecel yihiin inay wax dulmaan.
But like a merchant, who hath the balances of deceit in his hand, loving to overreach,
8 Oo reer Efrayim wuxuu yidhi, Sida xaqiiqada ah taajir baan noqday, oo maal baan helay, oo innaba hawlahayga oo dhan lagama heli doono xumaan dembi ah.
Did Ephraim say, I am certainly become rich, I have acquired substance unto myself: it is all through my labors; they will find no iniquity in me, that could be sin.
9 Laakiinse anigu waxaan ahay Rabbiga Ilaahiinna ah oo idinka soo bixiyey dalkii Masar, oo weliba waxaan ka dhigi doonaa inaad mar kale teendhooyin degganaataan sidii wakhtigii iidda.
And I am the Lord thy God from the land of Egypt: I will yet make thee dwell in tents, as in the days of antiquity.
10 Oo weliba waxaan la hadlay nebiyadii, oo waxaan badiyey waxyaalo aan tusay, oo nebiyadana waxaan u soo dhiibay masaalooyin.
And I have spoken through the prophets, and I myself have multiplied visions, and by the means of the prophets have I spoken in similitudes.
11 Reer Gilecaad waa xumaan miidhan oo iyagu dhammaantood waa wax aan waxtar lahayn. Waxay Gilgaal ku allabaryaan dibiyo, oo weliba meelahooda allabarigu waa sida tuulmooyin ku dhex yaal jeexjeexyada beerta oo kale.
If in Gil'ad there was misfortune, [it is because] there was naught but idolatry; in Gilgal they sacrificed bullocks [to idols]: their altars also are as stone-heaps on the furrows of the fields.
12 Yacquub wuxuu ku dhex cararay beertii Aram, oo Israa'iil inuu naag helo buu u shaqeeyey oo ido u ilaaliyey.
And Jacob fled into the fields of Syria, and Israel served for a wife, and for a wife he kept [the flocks].
13 Oo Rabbigu reer binu Israa'iil nebi buu kaga soo bixiyey dalkii Masar, oo nebi baa iyagii lagu ilaashay.
And by a prophet did the Lord bring Israel out of Egypt, and by a prophet was he guarded.
14 Reer Efrayim si qadhaadh bay Rabbiga uga xanaajiyeen, haddaba dhiiggoodu korkooduu ku hadhi doonaa, oo ceebtoodana Sayidkoodu waa ku soo celin doonaa.
[Yet] Ephraim provoked [him] to anger most bitterly: therefore will his Lord cast his blood-guiltiness upon him, and his reproach will he recompense unto him.
