1 K anu waa Eraygii Rabbiga ee abaarta ku saabsanaa ee Yeremyaah u yimid.

The Word of the Lord which came to Jeremiah when there was no water:

2 D adka dalka Yahuudah way barooranayaan, irdahoodii way jilceen, oo iyagoo ooyaya ayay dhulka fadhiyaan, oo Yeruusaalem qayladeeduna kor bay u kacaysaa.

“Judah is full of sorrow and her gates are weak. Her people sit on the ground in sorrow, and a cry goes up from Jerusalem.

3 O o kuwooda waaweyn ayaa yaryarkooda biyo u soo dira, oo waxay yimaadaan ceelasha, biyona kama ay helaan, oo weelashooda oo madhan ayay dib ula soo noqdaan, oo intay ceeboobaan oo qasmaan ayay madaxa hagoogtaan.

Their men of honor have sent their servants for water. They have come to the wells and found no water, and returned with their jars empty. They have been put to shame and troubled, and covered their heads.

4 D hulkii wuu dildillaacay, waayo, roob kuma di'in, oo taas darteed raggii beerta qodan jiray ayaa ceebooba, oo madaxay hagoogtaan.

The ground is dried up because there has been no rain on the land. The farmers have been put to shame and have covered their heads.

5 O o xataa deeradii duurkay ku dhashaa, oo ilmaheedana way dayrisaa, maxaa yeelay, meeshaasu caws ma leh innaba.

Even the deer in the field leaves her young one which has just been born, because there is no grass.

6 O o dameerdibadeedyadana waxay istaagaan meelaha dhaadheer, oo waxay u hinraagaan sida dawacooyin oo kale. Indhahoodii way madoobaanayaan, maxaa yeelay, doog bay waayaan.

The wild donkeys stand on the open hill-tops. They breathe hard for air like wild dogs. Their eyes become weak because there is nothing to eat.

7 R abbiyow, in kastoo ay xumaatooyinkayagu nagu marag furayaan, magacaaga aawadiis wax u samee, waayo, dibunoqoshadayadu way badan tahay, oo adigaannu kugu dembaabnay.

“Even when our sins speak against us, O Lord, do something for the good of Your name. For we have fallen away from You many times. We have sinned against You.

8 R ajadii reer binu Israa'iilow, Badbaadiyahoodii wakhtiga ay dhibaataysan yihiinow, bal maxaad dalka dhexdiisa ugu noqonaysaa qariib iyo sidii nin socdaal ah oo u soo leexda inuu habeen ku hoydo?

You are the Hope of Israel, the One Who saves it in time of trouble. Why are You like a stranger in the land? Why are You like a traveler who has set up his tent for the night?

9 B al maxaad u noqonaysaa sidii nin amankaagay, iyo sidii nin xoog badan oo aan waxba badbaadin karin? Laakiinse Rabbiyow, adigu waad na dhex joogtaa, oo annana magacaagaa naloogu yeedhaa, haddaba ha naga tegin.

Why are You like a man surprised, like a strong man who cannot save? Yet You are among us, O Lord, and we are called by Your name. Do not leave us!”

10 R abbigu wuxuu dadkan ka leeyahay, Waxay jeclaadeen inay warwareegaan, oo cagahoodana ma ay celin, sidaas daraaddeed Rabbigu iyaga ma aqbalo. Haatan wuu soo xusuusan doonaa xumaantoodii, oo dembiyadoodana wuu ciqaabi doonaa.

The Lord says this about these people, “They have loved to go their own way. They have not held their feet back. So the Lord is not pleased with them. Now He will remember their wrong-doing and punish their sins.”

11 O o Rabbigu wuxuu igu yidhi, Dadkan wax wanaagsan ha ugu ducayn.

The Lord said to me, “Do not pray for the well-being of these people.

12 M arkay soomaan qayladooda innaba ma aan maqli doono, oo markay qurbaan la gubo iyo qurbaan hadhuudh ah ii soo bixiyaanna innaba ma aan aqbali doono, laakiinse waxaan iyaga ku baabbi'in doonaa seef, iyo abaar, iyo belaayo.

When they go without food, I will not listen to their cry. And when they give burnt gifts and grain gifts, I will not receive them. But I will destroy them by the sword, hunger and disease.”

13 M arkaasaan idhi, Sayidow, Rabbiyow, bal eeg, nebiyadiiba waxay ku yidhaahdaan, Seef arki maysaan, abaaruna idinku dhici mayso, laakiinse waxaan meeshan idinku siin doonaa nabad hubaal ah.

Then I said, “O Lord God, the ones who speak in Your name are telling them, ‘You will not see the sword and you will not go hungry. But I will give you lasting peace in this place.’”

14 M arkaasaa Rabbigu igu yidhi, Nebiyadu wax been ah ayay magacayga ku sii sheegaan. Anigu sooma aan dirin, soomana aan amrin, lamana aan hadlin innaba. Waxay idiin sii sheegaan riyo been ah, iyo faal, iyo wax aan waxba ahayn, iyo khiyaanadii qalbigooda.

Then the Lord said to me, “Those men are speaking lies in My name. I have not sent them, or told them, or spoken to them. They are telling you a false dream of a false future that means nothing. They are speaking the lies of their own hearts.

15 S idaas daraaddeed Rabbigu wuxuu nebiyadaas ka leeyahay, Nebiyada magacayga wax ku sii sheega, oo aanan soo dirin, laakiinse yidhaahda, Seef iyo abaar toona dalkan dhexdiisa laguma arki doono, waxaa baabbi'in doona seef iyo abaar.

So this is what the Lord says about those men who tell what is going to happen in the future using My name. I did not send them, yet they keep saying, ‘There will be no sword or hunger in this land.’ So by the sword and by hunger those false teachers will be destroyed!

16 O o dadka ay wax u sii sheegaanna waxaa lagu tuuri doonaa jidadka Yeruusaalem, waana abaar iyo seef daraaddood, oo ciduna ma ay xabaali doonto iyaga, iyo naagahooda, iyo wiilashooda, iyo gabdhahoodaba, waayo, waxaan iyaga ku soo dejin doonaa xumaantoodii oo dhan.

And the people they tell these things to will be thrown out into the streets of Jerusalem because of hunger and the sword. There will be no one to bury them, or their wives, or their sons, or their daughters. For I will pour out their own sin upon them.

17 W axaad iyaga ku tidhaahdaa erayadan, Habeen iyo maalinba indhahayga ilmo ha ka hoorto, oo yaanay marnaba joogsan, waayo, dadkayga oo ah sida gabadh bikrad ah nabar weyn baa ku dhacay iyo dhaawac aad iyo aad u xun.

You will say to them, ‘Let my eyes flow with tears without stopping night and day. For my people have been crushed with a very hard beating.

18 H addaan duurka tago waxaan arkaa kuwa seef lagu laayay, oo haddaan magaalada galona waxaa arkaa kuwa gaajo la buka, waayo, nebiyadii iyo wadaaddadiiba dalkay ku dhex warwareegaan iyagoo aan aqoon lahayn.

If I go out to the country, I see those killed by the sword! Or if I go into the city, I see diseases because of hunger! For both the man who speaks for God and the religious leader have gone around and around in the land they do not know.’” The People Cry to the Lord

19 R abbiyow, aslanba dalka Yahuudah ma nacday? Naftaadu Siyoon ma karahday? Bal maxaad wax noogu dhufatay oo aannu u bogsan waynay? Nabad baannu filanaynay, laakiinse wax wanaagsanina ma iman, oo waxaannu filanaynay wakhti caafimaad leh, laakiinse waxaa noo timid cabsi keliya!

Have You nothing at all to do with Judah any more? Do You hate Zion? Why have You punished us so that we cannot be healed? We waited for peace, but nothing good came. We waited for a time of healing, but there is much trouble.

20 R abbiyow, annagu waannu aqoonsannaa sharnimadayada iyo xumaantii awowayaashayoba, waayo, waannu kugu dembaabnay.

We know that we are sinful, O Lord, and we know the sin of our fathers. For we have sinned against You.

21 M agacaaga aawadiis waan ku baryayaaye, Ha na karaahsan oo arshigii sharaftaadana ha sharafjebin, bal na soo xusuuso, oo ha nagu axdi furin.

For the good of Your name do not hate us. Do not put to shame the throne of Your shining-greatness. Remember and do not break Your agreement with us.

22 S anamyada beenta ah oo quruumaha miyaa lagu arkaa mid roob keeni kara? Amase samooyinku miyey iska soo tiixi karaan? Rabbiyow Ilaahayagow, sow adigu ma tihid kan kara? Sidaas daraaddeed adiga uun baan ku sugaynaa, waayo, adigaa sameeyey waxyaalahaas oo dhan.

Are there any among the false gods of the nations who give rain? Or can the heavens give rain? Is it not You, O Lord our God? So we hope in You. For You are the One Who has done all these things.
