1 R abbigu wuxuu igu yidhi, Tag oo waxaad soo iibsataa gunti maro wanaagsan ah oo dhexda ku xidho, oo marnaba biyo ha dhex gelin.

The Lord said to me, “Go and buy a linen belt, and put it around yourself. But do not put it in water.”

2 S idaas daraaddeed gunti baan soo iibsaday sidii erayga Rabbigu ahaa, oo dhexdaan ku xidhay.

So I bought the belt as the Lord had said and put it around me.

3 O o haddana mar labaad ayaa eraygii Rabbigu ii yimid, oo wuxuu igu yidhi,

Then the Word of the Lord came to me a second time, saying,

4 W axaad 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.

“Take the belt that you have bought and are wearing, get up, and go to the Euphrates. Hide it there in a hole in the rock.”

5 S idaas daraaddeed waan tegey oo waxaan guntigii ku soo qariyey Webi Yufraad agtiisa, sidii Rabbigu igu amray.

So I went and hid it by the Euphrates, as the Lord had told me.

6 O o 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.

After many days the Lord said to me, “Get up and go to the Euphrates and get the belt which I told you to hide there.”

7 M arkaasaan 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.

Then I went to the Euphrates and dug, and I took the belt from the place where I had hidden it. And I saw that the belt was worth nothing.

8 M arkaasaa eraygii Rabbigu ii yimid oo wuxuu igu yidhi,

Then the Word of the Lord came to me, saying,

9 R abbigu wuxuu leeyahay, Sidaas oo kale ayaan u bi'in doonaa kibirka dadka Yahuudah, iyo kibirka weyn oo Yeruusaalemba.

“This is what the Lord says: ‘In this way I will destroy the pride of Judah and the great pride of Jerusalem.

10 D adkan 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.

These sinful people would not listen to My words. They walk in the strong-will of their own hearts and have gone to serve and worship other gods. So let them be just like this linen belt, which is good for nothing.

11 W aayo, 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. Sibraarrada Khamriga

For as the belt holds on to a man’s body, so I made the whole family of Israel and the whole family of Judah hold on to Me,’ says the Lord. ‘This was so that they might be for Me a people, a name, a praise, and an honor. But they would not listen.’ The Wine Bottles

12 S idaas 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 you are to tell this to them: ‘The Lord, the God of Israel, says, “Every jar is to be filled with wine.”’ And when they say to you, ‘Do we not know very well that every jar is to be filled with wine?’

13 O o 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.

then tell them, ‘The Lord says, “I am about to fill all the people of this land, the kings who sit on David’s throne, the religious leaders, the men of God, and all the people of Jerusalem with too much drink.

14 O o 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. Digniintii Maxaabiisnimada

And I will throw them against each other, both the fathers and sons together,” says the Lord. “I will not let pity or sorrow or loving-kindness keep Me from destroying them.”’” Pride Comes before Punishment

15 M aqla, oo dheg u dhiga, hana kibrina, waayo, Rabbigu wuu hadlay.

Listen and hear. Do not be proud, for the Lord has spoken.

16 R abbiga 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.

Give honor to the Lord your God before He brings darkness and before you slip and fall on the dark mountains. You hope for light, but He will turn it into darkness and it will be very dark.

17 L aakiinse 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.

But if you will not listen, my soul will cry in secret because of your pride. My eyes will cry with a bitter cry and tears will flow down, because the Lord’s people have been taken away in chains.

18 O o boqorka iyo hooyadiisa boqoradda ahba waxaad ku tidhaahdaa, Is-hoosaysiiya, waayo, taajkii sharaftiinnu hoos buu madaxa uga soo dhacay.

Say to the king and the queen mother, “Come down from your throne. Your beautiful crown has been taken from your head.”

19 M agaalooyinkii 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 cities of the Negev have been locked up, and there is no one to open them. All Judah has been taken away. All the people of Judah have been taken to another land.

20 I ndhihiinna kor u qaada, oo bal waxaad fiirisaan kuwa woqooyi ka soo socda, bal meeh adhigii lagu siiyey oo ah xayntaadii quruxda badnayd?

“Look up and see those who are coming from the north. Where is the flock that was given to you, your beautiful sheep?

21 B al 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 when He sets over you those whom you have taught and who were your friends? Will not pain take hold of you, like a woman giving birth?

22 O o haddaad qalbigaaga iska tidhaahdid, Bal maxaa waxyaalahanu iigu dheceen? Xumaantaada badatay aawadeed ayaa darfaha dharkaaga loo xayday oo cedhbahaagiina loo qaawiyey.

And if you say in your heart, ‘Why have these things happened to me?’ It is because of your many sins that your clothing has been torn off and you suffer punishment.

23 M iyaa Xabashi midabkiisa beddeli karaa, shabeelse miyuu barihiisa beddeli karaa? Markaas idinka xumaanta u bartayba wanaag baad samayn kari doontaan.

Can the Ethiopian change his skin or the leopard his spots? Then you also can do good who are used to doing wrong.

24 S idaas daraaddeed ayaan kala firdhin doonaa sida dabaysha cidladu ay xaab baabba'aya u kala firdhiso oo kale.

I will cause you to go everywhere like straw blown by the desert wind.

25 R abbigu wuxuu leeyahay, Tanu waa qaybtaada oo ah intii aan kuu qiyaasay, maxaa yeelay, waad i illowday, oo been baad isku hallaysay.

This is what you get, the share given to you from Me,” says the Lord, “because you have forgotten Me and trusted in lies.

26 S idaas daraaddeed darfaha dharkaagaan xaydi doonaa ilaa wejigaaga si ay ceebtaadu u muuqato aawadeed.

So I will pull your clothing up over your face, that your shame may be seen.

27 W aan 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?

As for your sex sins and cries of desire, your sinful sex acts on the hills in the field, I have seen your hated sins. It is bad for you, O Jerusalem! How long will you be unclean?”
