1 T he Word of the Lord came to me saying,

Oo haddana Eraygii Rabbiga ayaa ii yimid isagoo leh,

2 “ Son of man, give the people of Israel this picture-story to think about.

Wiilka Aadamow, halxidho, oo reer binu Israa'iil masaal kula hadal,

3 T ell them, ‘The Lord God says, “A large eagle with big wings and long feathers of many colors came to Lebanon and took away the top of the cedar tree.

oo waxaad ku tidhaahdaa, Sayidka Rabbiga ahu wuxuu leeyahay, Waxaa Lubnaan yimid gorgor weyn oo baadad waaweyn oo baalashiisu dheerdheer yihiin, oo baalal badan oo kala midab ah leh, oo wuxuu qaatay intii ugu sarraysay oo geedka kedarka la yidhaahdo.

4 H e broke off the very top of its young branches and brought it to a land of traders. He placed it in a city of people who buy and sell.

Oo wuxuu jaray laamihiisii yaryaraa, ta ugu korraysa, oo dal baayacmushtar badan geeyey, oo wuxuu dhigay magaalo baayacmushtariyaal.

5 T hen he took some of the seed of the land and planted it in good ground for growing. He planted it like a willow tree where there was much water to make it grow.

Markaasuu qaatay iniinihii dalka, wuuna ku dhex beeray beer wanaagsan, oo wuxuu ag dhigay biyo badan dhinacood oo u qotomiyey sidii geed safsaf ah.

6 A nd it grew and became a low spreading vine. Its branches grew toward him, but its roots stayed under it. So it became a vine, and branches and leaves grew out from it.

Oo iyana way kortay, oo waxay noqotay geed canab ah oo fidsan laakiinse sarajooggiisu gaaban yahay oo laamihiisu xaggiisa u soo noqdeen, oo xididdadiisuna isagay ka hooseeyeen, oo saasuu geedcanab u noqday, oo uu laamo u soo bixiyey, oo uu caleemo cagaar ah u soo saaray.

7 “ But there was another large eagle with big wings and many feathers. And the vine turned its roots and branches toward him from where it was planted, that he might water it.

Oo weliba waxaa kaloo jiray gorgor kale oo weyn, oo baadad waaweyn, oo baalashiisu ay badan yihiin, oo bal eeg, geedkan canabka ahu xididdadiisuu xaggiisa u soo leexiyey, oo laamihiisiina xaggiisuu u soo bixiyey si uu uga waraabiyo meel ka leexsan meeshii lagu dhex beeray.

8 I t had been planted in good ground beside much water, that it might grow branches and give fruit and become a beautiful vine.”’

Waxaa lagu beeray ciid wanaagsan oo biyo badan u dhow, si uu laamo u soo bixiyo, oo uu midho u dhalo, oo uu geedcanab wanaagsan u noqdo aawadeed.

9 T ell them, ‘The Lord God says, “Will it live and grow? Will not its roots be pulled up and its fruit be cut off so that its leaves that started to grow dry up? It will not take a strong arm or many people to pull it up by the roots.

Waxaad ku tidhaahdaa, Sayidka Rabbiga ahu wuxuu leeyahay, Miyaa geedkaasu liibaani doonaa? Miyuusan xididdadiisa rujin doonin, oo uusan midhihiisa u googooyn doonin si uu u engego, oo caleemihiisa cagaarka ah oo dhammu ay u engegaan, in kastoo aan xoog weyn amase dad tiro badanu xididdadiisa rujin?

10 E ven if it is planted again, will it live and grow? Will it not dry up when the east wind hits it? Will it not dry up in the place where it grew?”’”

In kastoo la beeray miyuu liibaani doonaa? Oo miyuusan kulligiis engegi doonin markii dabaysha bari ay taabato? Meeshii lagu beeray wuu ka engegi doonaa.

11 T hen the Word of the Lord came to me saying,

Oo haddana Eraygii Rabbiga ayaa ii yimid isagoo leh,

12 “ Now tell these sinful people, ‘Do you not know what these things mean?’ Tell them, ‘See, the king of Babylon came to Jerusalem. He took its king and the king’s sons, and brought them back with him to Babylon.

Haddaba waxaad reerka caasiyoobay ku tidhaahdaa, War miyaydaan waxyaalahaas micnahooda garanayn? Waxaad ku tidhaahdaa, Bal eega, boqorkii Baabuloon Yeruusaalem buu yimid, oo wuxuu kaxaystay boqorkeedii iyo amiirradeediiba, oo Baabuloon buu u watay.

13 H e took one of the king’s family and made an agreement with him. And he made him promise to keep it. He also took away the strong leaders of the land,

Oo boqorka farcankiisiina wuu watay, oo axdi buu la dhigtay, oo dhaar buu isagii marsaday, oo weliba wuxuu kaloo kaxaystay dalka raggiisii xoogga badnaa,

14 s o that the nation would be under his power and not become strong again. It could only last by keeping his agreement.

si ay boqortooyadu u sii hoosayso, oo ayan marnaba kor isu qaadin, laakiinse ay u sii taagnaato axdigiisa oo ay dhawrto aawadiis.

15 B ut the king of Judah turned against him by sending his men to Egypt to get horses and a large army for him. Will it go well for him? Can he get away with that? Can he break the agreement and not be punished?

Laakiinse isagu wuu ku caasiyoobay markuu ergooyinkiisii Masar ugu diray si ay isaga u siiyaan fardo iyo dad faro badan. Miyuu liibaanayaa? Kii waxyaalahaas oo kale sameeyaa miyuu baxsan doonaa? Amase intuu axdiga jebiyo miyuu baxsan doonaa?

16 A s I live,’ says the Lord God, ‘he will die in the land of the king who put him on the throne, whose promise he hated, and whose agreement he broke. He will die in Babylon.

Sayidka Rabbiga ahu wuxuu leeyahay, Noloshaydaan ku dhaartaye, sida xaqiiqada ah meesha uu deggan yahay boqorkii isaga boqorka ka dhigay, oo uu isagu dhaartiisii quudhsaday, oo uu weliba axdigiisii jebiyey, isaga qudhdiisa ayuu Baabuloon gudaheeda kula dhiman doonaa.

17 P haraoh with his powerful army of many men will not help him in the war, when battle-walls are put up so that many people are killed.

Oo Fircoon iyo ciidankiisa xoogga badan, iyo guuto badan toona isaga dagaalka kuma ay taageeri doonaan marka tuulmo la tuulo, oo qalcado la dhiso si dad badan loo baabbi'iyo.

18 H e hated the promise and broke the agreement. Because he had given his promise and then did all these things, he will not get away from being punished.’”

Maxaa yeelay, isagu dhaartii wuu quudhsaday markuu axdigii jebiyey, oo intuu gacantiisa ku dhaartay ayuu haddana waxyaalahaas oo dhan sameeyey, oo sidaas aawadeed innaba ma uu baxsan doono.

19 S o the Lord God says, “As I live, I will punish him for hating My promise and for breaking My agreement.

Sidaas daraaddeed Sayidka Rabbiga ahu wuxuu leeyahay, Noloshaydaan ku dhaartaye, sida xaqiiqada ah dhaartaydii uu quudhsaday iyo axdigaygii uu jebiyey ayaan madaxiisa kaga abaalmarin doonaa.

20 I will spread My net over him and he will be caught in My trap. Then I will bring him to Babylon and punish him there for not being faithful to Me.

Oo korkiisaan ku kala bixin doonaa shabaggayga, oo isagaa dabinkayga lagu soo qaban doonaa, oo Baabuloon waan keeni doonaa, oo xadgudubkii uu igu xadgudbay aawadiis ayaan isaga halkaas kula xaajoon doonaa.

21 A nd all the best of his soldiers will be killed by the sword, and those left alive will be thrown to the wind. Then you will know that I, the Lord, have spoken.” God’s Promise of Hope

Oo kuwiisa qaxay ee guutooyinkiisa oo dhammuba seef bay ku le'an doonaan, oo inta ka hadhaana waxay u kala firdhi doonaan qalbadaha oo dhan, oo markaasaad ogaan doontaan inaan aniga Rabbiga ahu waxan ku hadlay.

22 T he Lord God says, “I will also take a young branch from the very top of the cedar tree and plant it. I will break a soft new one from the very top of its young branches, and plant it on a high mountain.

Sayidka Rabbiga ahu wuxuu leeyahay, Weliba waxaan qaadan doonaa geedkedarka dheer laantiisa ugu sarraysa, oo meel baan ka taagi doonaa, oo waxaan gooyn doonaa mid curdan ah oo ka mid ah laamihiisa yaryar oo ugu korreeya, oo waxaan ku dul beeri doonaa buur dheer oo sare.

23 I will plant it on the high mountain of Israel. It will grow branches and give fruit and become a beautiful cedar. Birds of every kind will nest in it. They will nest in the shadow of its branches.

Buurta dheer oo dalka reer binu Israa'iil ayaan ku beeri doonaa, oo waxay soo bixin doontaa laamo, oo midhona way dhali doontaa, oo waxay noqon doontaa geedkedar wanaagsan, oo waxaa hoostiisa ku hoyan doona haad cayn kasta ah, oo waxay degganaan doonaan hooska laamihiisa.

24 T hen all the trees of the field will know that I am the Lord. I bring down the high tree and make the low tree grow tall. I dry up the green tree, and make the dry tree become green. I, the Lord, have spoken, and I will do what I say.”

Oo dhirta duurka ku taal oo dhammuna waxay wada ogaan doonaan in aniga Rabbiga ahu aan geedkii sare hoos u dejiyey, oo aan geedkii hoose kor u qaaday, iyo inaan geedkii qoyanaa qallajiyey, oo aan geedkii qallalnaa magooliyey. Aniga Rabbiga ah ayaa saas ku hadlay oo saas sameeyey.
