1 I t came to pass in the seventh year, in the fifth month, on the tenth day of the month, that certain of the elders of Israel came to inquire of the Lord, and sat before me.

Oo sannaddii toddobaad, bisheedii shanaad, maalinteedii tobnaad ayaa odayaashii reer binu Israa'iil qaarkood u yimaadeen inay Rabbiga wax weyddiistaan, oo hortayday fadhiisteen.

2 T hen the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

Haddana Eraygii Rabbiga ayaa ii yimid isagoo leh,

3 “ Son of man, speak to the elders of Israel, and say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord God: “Have you come to inquire of Me? As I live,” says the Lord God, “I will not be inquired of by you.”’

Wiilka Aadamow, odayaasha reer binu Israa'iil la hadal, oo waxaad ku tidhaahdaa, Sayidka Rabbiga ahu wuxuu leeyahay, Ma waxaad u timaadeen inaad wax i weyddiisataan? Sayidka Rabbiga ahu wuxuu leeyahay, Noloshaydaan ku dhaartaye inaanan waxaad i weyddiisataan maqlayn.

4 W ill you judge them, son of man, will you judge them? Then make known to them the abominations of their fathers.

Wiilka Aadamow, ma doonaysaa inaad iyaga xukuntid? Ma doonaysaa inaad iyaga xukuntid? Bal iyaga waxyaalihii karaahiyada ahaa ee awowayaashood ogeysii,

5 “ Say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord God: “On the day when I chose Israel and raised My hand in an oath to the descendants of the house of Jacob, and made Myself known to them in the land of Egypt, I raised My hand in an oath to them, saying, ‘I am the Lord your God.’

oo waxaad ku tidhaahdaa, Sayidka Rabbiga ahu wuxuu leeyahay, Waagii aan reer binu Israa'iil doortay, oo aan gacantayda kor ugu qaaday oo aan u dhaartay farcanka reer Yacquub, oo aan iyaga dalkii Masar dhexdiisa isku baray, oo aan ugu dhaartay anigoo ku leh, Anigu waxaan ahay Rabbiga Ilaahiinna ah,

6 O n that day I raised My hand in an oath to them, to bring them out of the land of Egypt into a land that I had searched out for them, ‘flowing with milk and honey,’ the glory of all lands.

waagaas gacantaydaan kor ugu qaaday oo aan iyaga u dhaartay inaan dalkii Masar ka soo bixiyo oo aan soo geliyo dal aan iyaga u soo ilaaleeyey oo caano iyo malab la barwaaqaysan, kaasoo ah ammaantii dalalka oo dhan,

7 T hen I said to them, ‘Each of you, throw away the abominations which are before his eyes, and do not defile yourselves with the idols of Egypt. I am the Lord your God.’

oo waxaan iyaga ku idhi, Ninkiin kastaaba waxyaalaha karaahiyada ah ee indhihiisa ha iska xooro, oo sanamyada Masar ha isku nijaasaynina. Aniga ayaa ah Rabbiga Ilaahiinna ah.

8 B ut they rebelled against Me and would not obey Me. They did not all cast away the abominations which were before their eyes, nor did they forsake the idols of Egypt. Then I said, ‘I will pour out My fury on them and fulfill My anger against them in the midst of the land of Egypt.’

Laakiinse way igu caasiyoobeen, oo inay i maqlaan ayay diideen. Ninkoodna waxyaalihii karaahiyada ahaa ee indhihiisa iskama xoorin, oo sanamyadii Masarna kama ay tegin. Markaasaan idhi, Cadhadaydaan ku kor shubi doonaa, si aan iyaga dalka Masar dhexdiisa xanaaqayga ugu dhammaystiro.

9 B ut I acted for My name’s sake, that it should not be profaned before the Gentiles among whom they were, in whose sight I had made Myself known to them, to bring them out of the land of Egypt.

Laakiinse magacayga daraaddiis ayaan u shaqeeyey, si uusan ugu nijaasoobin quruumihii ay dhex joogeen hortooda, waayo, iyagoo u jeeda ayaan iyaga isbaray, markaan dalkii Masar ka soo bixiyey.

10 “ Therefore I made them go out of the land of Egypt and brought them into the wilderness.

Sidaas daraaddeed ayaan iyaga dalkii Masar ka soo bixiyey oo cidlada keenay.

11 A nd I gave them My statutes and showed them My judgments, ‘which, if a man does, he shall live by them.’

Oo waxaan iyaga siiyey qaynuunnadaydii, xukummadaydiina waan tusay, kuwaasoo ninkii sameeyaaba uu ku noolaanayo.

12 M oreover I also gave them My Sabbaths, to be a sign between them and Me, that they might know that I am the Lord who sanctifies them.

Oo weliba waxaan siiyey sabtiyadayda inay ahaadaan calaamad aniga iyo iyaga noo dhexaysa, si ay u ogaadaan inaan anigu ahay Rabbiga iyaga quduus ka dhiga.

13 Y et the house of Israel rebelled against Me in the wilderness; they did not walk in My statutes; they despised My judgments, ‘which, if a man does, he shall live by them’; and they greatly defiled My Sabbaths. Then I said I would pour out My fury on them in the wilderness, to consume them.

Laakiinse reer binu Israa'iil way igu caasiyoobeen intii ay cidlada dhex joogeen. Qaynuunnadaydii kuma ay socon, oo xukummadaydiina way diideen, kuwaasoo ninkii sameeyaaba uu ku noolaanayo, oo sabtiyadaydiina si weyn bay nijaas ka dhigeen. Markaasaan idhi, Anigu waxaan korkooda ku shubi doonaa cadhadayda inta ay cidlada dhex joogaan si aan u baabbi'iyo.

14 B ut I acted for My name’s sake, that it should not be profaned before the Gentiles, in whose sight I had brought them out.

Laakiinse magacayga daraaddiis ayaan u shaqeeyey, si uusan ugu nijaasoobin quruumihii ay dhex joogeen hortooda, waayo, iyagoo u jeeda ayaan soo bixiyey.

15 S o I also raised My hand in an oath to them in the wilderness, that I would not bring them into the land which I had given them, ‘flowing with milk and honey,’ the glory of all lands,

Oo weliba gacantaydaan kor ugu qaaday oo ugu dhaaray cidlada dhexdeedii inaanan geeynayn dalkii aan siiyey oo caanaha iyo malabka la barwaaqaysan oo ah ammaantii dalalka oo dhan,

16 b ecause they despised My judgments and did not walk in My statutes, but profaned My Sabbaths; for their heart went after their idols.

maxaa yeelay, xukummadaydii way diideen, oo qaynuunnadaydiina kuma ay socon oo sabtiyadaydii nijaas bay ka dhigeen, waayo, qalbigoodii wuxuu raacay sanamyadoodii.

17 N evertheless My eye spared them from destruction. I did not make an end of them in the wilderness.

Habase ahaatee ishaydii way u tudhay si aanan iyaga u baabbi'in, oo cidladiina kuma aanan dhex dhammayn.

18 “ But I said to their children in the wilderness, ‘Do not walk in the statutes of your fathers, nor observe their judgments, nor defile yourselves with their idols.

Oo waxaan carruurtoodii ku idhi intii ay cidladii dhex joogeen, Qaynuunnada aabbayaashiin ha ku soconina, oo xukummadoodana ha dhawrina, oo sanamyadoodana ha isku nijaasaynina.

19 I am the Lord your God: Walk in My statutes, keep My judgments, and do them;

Aniga ayaa ah Rabbiga Ilaahiinna ah. Qaynuunnadayda ku socda, oo xukummadayda xajiya oo sameeya,

20 h allow My Sabbaths, and they will be a sign between Me and you, that you may know that I am the Lord your God.’

oo sabtiyadayda quduus ka dhiga, oo iyana waxay ahaan doonaan calaamad aniga iyo idinka inoo dhexaysa, si aad u ogaataan inaan anigu ahay Rabbiga Ilaahiinna ah.

21 “ Notwithstanding, the children rebelled against Me; they did not walk in My statutes, and were not careful to observe My judgments, ‘which, if a man does, he shall live by them’; but they profaned My Sabbaths. Then I said I would pour out My fury on them and fulfill My anger against them in the wilderness.

Laakiinse carruurtiina way igu caasiyoobeen, oo qaynuunnadaydiina kuma ay socon, xukummadaydiina inay sameeyaan ma xajin, kuwaasoo ninkii sameeyaaba uu ku noolaanayo, oo sabtiyadaydiina nijaas bay ka dhigeen. Markaasaan idhi, Cadhadaydaan ku kor shubi doonaa, si aan xanaaqayga iyaga ugu dhammaystiro cidlada dhexdeeda.

22 N evertheless I withdrew My hand and acted for My name’s sake, that it should not be profaned in the sight of the Gentiles, in whose sight I had brought them out.

Habase ahaatee gacantaydii waan ka soo celiyey, oo magacayga daraaddiis baan u shaqeeyey, si uusan ugu nijaasoobin quruumaha hortooda, waayo, iyagoo u jeeda ayaan soo bixiyey.

23 A lso I raised My hand in an oath to those in the wilderness, that I would scatter them among the Gentiles and disperse them throughout the countries,

Oo weliba gacantaydaan kor ugu qaaday oo ugu dhaartay cidlada dhexdeedii inaan iyaga quruumaha ku kala dhex eryi doono, oo aan waddammada ku dhex firdhin doono,

24 b ecause they had not executed My judgments, but had despised My statutes, profaned My Sabbaths, and their eyes were fixed on their fathers’ idols.

maxaa yeelay, xukummadaydii ma ay samayn, laakiinse qaynuunnadaydii way diideen, oo sabtiyadaydiina nijaas bay ka dhigeen, oo indhahooduna waxay raaceen sanamyadii awowayaashood.

25 “ Therefore I also gave them up to statutes that were not good, and judgments by which they could not live;

Oo weliba iyagaan siiyey qaynuunno aan wanaagsanayn, iyo xukummo ayan ku noolaan karayn,

26 a nd I pronounced them unclean because of their ritual gifts, in that they caused all their firstborn to pass through the fire, that I might make them desolate and that they might know that I am the Lord.”’

oo waxaan iyagii ku nijaaseeyey hadiyadahoodii, maxaa yeelay, dab bay u dhex marsiiyeen wixii maxal fura oo dhan, si aan iyaga cidla uga dhigo, si ay u ogaadaan inaan anigu Rabbiga ahay.

27 “ Therefore, son of man, speak to the house of Israel, and say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord God: “In this too your fathers have blasphemed Me, by being unfaithful to Me.

Sidaas aawadeed Wiilka Aadamow, waxaad la hadashaa reer binu Israa'iil, oo waxaad ku tidhaahdaa, Sayidka Rabbiga ahu wuxuu leeyahay, Weliba taasay awowayaashiin igu caayeen, wayna igu xadgudbeen.

28 W hen I brought them into the land concerning which I had raised My hand in an oath to give them, and they saw all the high hills and all the thick trees, there they offered their sacrifices and provoked Me with their offerings. There they also sent up their sweet aroma and poured out their drink offerings.

Waayo, markaan dalka keenay, kaasoo aan gacanta ugu qaaday oo aan ugu dhaartay inaan iyaga siin doono ayay arkeen kur kasta oo dheer iyo geed kasta oo weyn, oo waxay halkaas ku bixiyeen allabaryadoodii, oo qurbaankoodii iga cadhaysiiyey ayay halkaas ku soo bixiyeen, oo weliba halkaasay caraftoodii udgoonayd ku sameeyeen, oo halkaasay qurbaannadoodii cabniinka ku daadiyeen.

29 T hen I said to them, ‘What is this high place to which you go?’ So its name is called Bamah to this day.”’

Markaasaan ku idhi, Meesha sare oo aad tagtaan maxay tahay? Ilaa maantadan la joogo waxaa magaceeda la yidhaahdaa Baamaah. Xukun Iyo Dib U Soo Celin

30 T herefore say to the house of Israel, ‘Thus says the Lord God: “Are you defiling yourselves in the manner of your fathers, and committing harlotry according to their abominations?

Sidaas daraaddeed waxaad reer binu Israa'iil ku tidhaahdaa, Sayidka Rabbiga ahu wuxuu leeyahay, Ma waxaad isu nijaasaysaan sidii awowayaashiin isu nijaaseeyeen oo kale? Oo ma waxaad ka daba gashaan waxyaalahooda karaahiyada ah sida naag ninkeed ka dhillowda oo kale?

31 F or when you offer your gifts and make your sons pass through the fire, you defile yourselves with all your idols, even to this day. So shall I be inquired of by you, O house of Israel? As I live,” says the Lord God, “I will not be inquired of by you.

Oo markaad hadiyadihiinna bixisaan, oo aad wiilashiinna dabka dhex marsiisaan ma waxaad isku nijaasaysaan sanamyadiinna oo dhan ilaa maantadan la joogo? Haddaba reer binu Israa'iilow, miyaan maqlaa waxaad i weyddiisanaysaan? Sayidka Rabbiga ahu wuxuu leeyahay, Noloshaydaan ku dhaartaye, Maqli maayo waxaad i weyddiisataan.

32 W hat you have in your mind shall never be, when you say, ‘We will be like the Gentiles, like the families in other countries, serving wood and stone.’ God Will Restore Israel

Oo waxa maankiinna soo galaana innaba ma ay ahaan doonaan, waayo, waxaad isku tidhaahdaan, Annagu waxaannu noqon doonnaa sida quruumaha kale, iyo sida qolooyinka waddammada deggan oo kale si aannu qoryo iyo dhagax ugu adeegno.

33 “ As I live,” says the Lord God, “surely with a mighty hand, with an outstretched arm, and with fury poured out, I will rule over you.

Sayidka Rabbiga ahu wuxuu leeyahay, Noloshaydaan ku dhaartaye, hubaal boqor baan idiinku ahaan doonaa gacan xoog badan iyo dhudhun fidsan iyo cadho la soo daadshay,

34 I will bring you out from the peoples and gather you out of the countries where you are scattered, with a mighty hand, with an outstretched arm, and with fury poured out.

oo dadyowga waan idinka soo dhex bixin doonaa, oo waddammadii aad ku kala dhex firidheen waxaan idinkaga soo ururin doonaa gacan xoog badan iyo dhudhun fidsan iyo cadho la soo daadshay.

35 A nd I will bring you into the wilderness of the peoples, and there I will plead My case with you face to face.

Oo waxaan idiin keeni doonaa cidlada dadyowga, oo halkaasaan fool ka fool idinkula xaajoon doonaa.

36 J ust as I pleaded My case with your fathers in the wilderness of the land of Egypt, so I will plead My case with you,” says the Lord God.

Sidii aan awowayaashiin cidladii dalka Masar ugula xaajooday oo kale ayaan idinkana idiinla xaajoon doonaa, ayaa Sayidka Rabbiga ahu leeyahay.

37 “ I will make you pass under the rod, and I will bring you into the bond of the covenant;

Oo waxaan idin soo marin doonaa usha hoosteeda, oo axdigaan idinku xidhi doonaa.

38 I will purge the rebels from among you, and those who transgress against Me; I will bring them out of the country where they dwell, but they shall not enter the land of Israel. Then you will know that I am the Lord.

Markaasaan idinka dhex sooci doonaa caasiyiinta iyo kuwa igu xadgudba. Waxaan iyaga ka soo bixin doonaa dalka ay qariib ahaanta u joogaan, laakiinse dalka reer binu Israa'iil sooma ay geli doonaan, oo idinkuna waxaad ogaan doontaan inaan anigu Rabbiga ahay.

39 “ As for you, O house of Israel,” thus says the Lord God: “Go, serve every one of you his idols—and hereafter—if you will not obey Me; but profane My holy name no more with your gifts and your idols.

Reer binu Israa'iilow, Sayidka Rabbiga ahu wuxuu leeyahay, Haddeydnan i dhegaysanayn, taga, oo haddan iyo hadda dabadeedba midkiin kastaaba sanamyadiisa ha u adeego, laakiinse waa inaydaan magacayga quduuska ah mar dambe nijaas kaga dhigin hadiyadihiinna iyo sanamyadiinna.

40 F or on My holy mountain, on the mountain height of Israel,” says the Lord God, “there all the house of Israel, all of them in the land, shall serve Me; there I will accept them, and there I will require your offerings and the firstfruits of your sacrifices, together with all your holy things.

Waayo, Sayidka Rabbiga ahu wuxuu leeyahay, Reer binu Israa'iil oo dhan kulligoodba dalka dhexdiisa ayay iigu adeegi doonaan buurtayda quduuska ah taasoo ah buurta dheer ee dalka reer binu Israa'iil, oo halkaasaan iyaga ku aqbali doonaa. Oo halkaasaan qurbaannadiinna iyo inta ugu horraysa ee hadiyadihiinna, iyo waxyaalihiinna quduuska ah oo dhanba idinku weyddiisan doonaa.

41 I will accept you as a sweet aroma when I bring you out from the peoples and gather you out of the countries where you have been scattered; and I will be hallowed in you before the Gentiles.

Oo sida caraf udgoon baan idiin aqbali doonaa markaan dadyowga idinka soo dhex bixiyo oo aan waddammadii aad ku kala dhex firidheen idinka soo ururiyo, oo dhexdiinnaan quduus ku ahaan doonaa quruumaha hortooda.

42 T hen you shall know that I am the Lord, when I bring you into the land of Israel, into the country for which I raised My hand in an oath to give to your fathers.

Oo waxaad ogaan doontaan inaan anigu Rabbiga ahay, markaan idin dhex keeno dalka reer binu Israa'iil, kaasoo ah dalkii aan gacanta ugu qaaday awowayaashiin oo aan ugu dhaartay inaan iyaga siinayo.

43 A nd there you shall remember your ways and all your doings with which you were defiled; and you shall loathe yourselves in your own sight because of all the evils that you have committed.

Oo halkaasaad jidadkiinnii iyo falimihiinnii aad isku nijaasayseenba ku soo xusuusan doontaan, oo waxyaalihiinnii sharka ahaa ee aad samayseen oo dhan ayaad isu nici doontaan.

44 T hen you shall know that I am the Lord, when I have dealt with you for My name’s sake, not according to your wicked ways nor according to your corrupt doings, O house of Israel,” says the Lord God.’” Fire in the Forest

Sayidka Rabbiga ahu wuxuu leeyahay, Reer binu Israa'iilow, iyadoo aan ahayn sidii jidadkiinnii sharka ahaa ay ahaayeen, amase sidii falimihiinnii qudhunka ahaa ay ahaayeen, markaan magacayga aawadiis idiinku shaqeeyo ayaad ogaan doontaan inaan anigu Rabbiga ahay. Wax Sii Sheegid Ka Gees Ah Dhanka Koonfureed

45 F urthermore the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

Oo haddana Eraygii Rabbiga ayaa ii yimid isagoo leh,

46 “ Son of man, set your face toward the south; preach against the south and prophesy against the forest land, the South,

Wiilka Aadamow, wejigaaga xagga koonfureed u sii jeedi, oo hadal xagga koonfureed ka gees ah ku hadal, oo waxaad wax ka sii sheegtaa kaynta duurka xagga koonfureed ku taal;

47 a nd say to the forest of the South, ‘Hear the word of the Lord! Thus says the Lord God: “Behold, I will kindle a fire in you, and it shall devour every green tree and every dry tree in you; the blazing flame shall not be quenched, and all faces from the south to the north shall be scorched by it.

oo waxaad kaynta koonfureed ku tidhaahdaa, Rabbiga eraygiisa maqal: Sayidka Rabbiga ahu wuxuu leeyahay, Bal ogow, dab baan kugu dhex shidi doonaa, oo wuxuu wada baabbi'in doonaa geed kasta oo qoyan oo dhexdaada ku yaal iyo geed kasta oo qallalanba. Ololka ololayana lama demin doono, oo weji kasta oo tan iyo xagga koonfureed iyo ilaa xagga woqooyi joogaana isaguu ku guban doonaa.

48 A ll flesh shall see that I, the Lord, have kindled it; it shall not be quenched.”’”

Oo binu-aadmiga oo dhammuna waxay wada arki doonaan in aniga Rabbiga ahu aan dabkaas shiday, oo innaba lama demin doono.

49 T hen I said, “Ah, Lord God! They say of me, ‘Does he not speak parables?’”

Markaasaan idhi, Sayidow, Rabbiyow, waxay iga yidhaahdaan, Sow isagu masaalooyin kuma hadlin?
