1 M arkaasaa saraakiishii ciidammada, iyo Yooxaanaan ina Qaaree'ax, iyo Yesanyaah ina Hooshacyaah, iyo dadkii oo dhan, kii ugu yaraa ilaa kii ugu weynaa, way soo dhowaadeen,

Now all the captains of the forces, Johanan the son of Kareah, Jezaniah the son of Hoshaiah, and all the people, from the least to the greatest, came near

2 o o waxay Nebi Yeremyaah ku yidhaahdeen, Waannu ku baryaynaaye, baryootankayagu ha ahaado mid hortaada lagu aqbalo, oo waxaad noo baridaa Rabbiga Ilaahaaga ah, annagoo ah kuwan hadhay oo dhan, waayo, kuwayagan yar ayaa ka hadhay dadkii badnaa, sida aad adiguba indhahaaga noogu aragtid.

and said to Jeremiah the prophet, “Please, let our petition be acceptable to you, and pray for us to the Lord your God, for all this remnant (since we are left but a few of many, as you can see),

3 N oo ducee si Rabbiga Ilaahaaga ahu uu noo tuso jidkii aannu ku socon lahayn iyo wixii aannu samayn lahayn.

that the Lord your God may show us the way in which we should walk and the thing we should do.”

4 M arkaasaa Nebi Yeremyaah wuxuu iyagii ku yidhi, Waan idin maqlay, oo bal eega, Rabbiga Ilaahiinna ah sidii ay erayadiinnu ahaayeen ayaan u baryayaa, oo wax alla wixii Rabbigu idiinku soo jawaaboba waan idiin sheegayaa, oo waxba dib idiinka ceshan maayo.

Then Jeremiah the prophet said to them, “I have heard. Indeed, I will pray to the Lord your God according to your words, and it shall be, that whatever the Lord answers you, I will declare it to you. I will keep nothing back from you.”

5 M arkaasay Yeremyaah ku yidhaahdeen, Rabbigu dhexdeenna ha ku ahaado markhaati run iyo daacad ah, haddaannan wada samayn waxyaalihii Rabbiga Ilaahaaga ahu uu noogu soo kaa dhiibo oo dhan.

So they said to Jeremiah, “Let the Lord be a true and faithful witness between us, if we do not do according to everything which the Lord your God sends us by you.

6 H adduu wanaag yahay iyo hadduu shar yahayba, annagu waannu addeeci doonnaa codka Rabbiga Ilaahayaga ah, kaasoo aannu kuu dirnay, si aannu u nabdoonaanno aawadeed markaannu addeecno codka Rabbiga Ilaahayaga ah.

Whether it is pleasing or displeasing, we will obey the voice of the Lord our God to whom we send you, that it may be well with us when we obey the voice of the Lord our God.”

7 O o toban maalmood dabadeed ayaa eraygii Rabbigu Yeremyaah u yimid.

And it happened after ten days that the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah.

8 M arkaasuu u yeedhay Yooxaanaan ina Qaaree'ax, iyo saraakiishii ciidammada ee isaga la joogtay oo dhan, iyo dadkii oo dhan xataa kii ugu yaraa ilaa kii ugu weynaa,

Then he called Johanan the son of Kareah, all the captains of the forces which were with him, and all the people from the least even to the greatest,

9 o o wuxuu iyagii ku yidhi, Rabbiga ah Ilaaha reer binu Israa'iil oo aad iigu dirteen inaan baryootankiinna hortiisa geeyo wuxuu leeyahay,

and said to them, “Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel, to whom you sent me to present your petition before Him:

10 H addaad dalkan sii joogtaan, waan idin dhisi doonaa, oo idinma dumin doono, oo waan idin beeri doonaa, oo idinma rujin doono innaba, waayo, waan ka qoomamooday masiibadii aan idinku sameeyey.

‘If you will still remain in this land, then I will build you and not pull you down, and I will plant you and not pluck you up. For I relent concerning the disaster that I have brought upon you.

11 B oqorka Baabuloon oo aad ka baqaysaan ha ka cabsanina. Rabbigu wuxuu leeyahay, Innaba isaga ha ka cabsanina, waayo, anigaa idinla jira inaan idin badbaadiyo oo aan gacantiisa idinka samatabbixiyo.

Do not be afraid of the king of Babylon, of whom you are afraid; do not be afraid of him,’ says the Lord, ‘for I am with you, to save you and deliver you from his hand.

12 W aanan idiin naxariisan doonaa si uu isagu idiinku naxariisto, oo uu dalkiinnii idiinku soo celiyo.

And I will show you mercy, that he may have mercy on you and cause you to return to your own land.’

13 L aakiinse haddaad tidhaahdaan, Annagu dalkan degganaan mayno, oo codka Rabbiga Ilaahaaga ahna addeeci mayno,

“But if you say, ‘We will not dwell in this land,’ disobeying the voice of the Lord your God,

14 o o aad tidhaahdaan, Maya, laakiinse waxaannu tegaynaa dalka Masar, halkaasoo aannan dagaal arki doonin, amase aannan buunka dhawaaqiisa maqli doonin, oo aannan innaba kibis u gaajoon doonin, oo halkaasaannu degganaan doonnaa,

saying, ‘No, but we will go to the land of Egypt where we shall see no war, nor hear the sound of the trumpet, nor be hungry for bread, and there we will dwell’—

15 h addaba sidaas daraaddeed, kuwiinna dadka Yahuudah ka hadhayow, bal erayga Rabbiga maqla. Rabbiga ciidammada oo ah Ilaaha reer binu Israa'iil wuxuu leeyahay, Haddaad wejigiinna ku qummaatisaan inaad Masar gashaan, oo aad u tagtaan inaad halkaas degtaan,

Then hear now the word of the Lord, O remnant of Judah! Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: ‘If you wholly set your faces to enter Egypt, and go to dwell there,

16 m arkaas seefta aad ka cabsanaysaan ayaa dalka Masar idinku gaadhi doonta, oo abaarta aad ka baqaysaan ayaa dalka Masar idinku heli doonta, oo halkaasaad ku dhiman doontaan.

then it shall be that the sword which you feared shall overtake you there in the land of Egypt; the famine of which you were afraid shall follow close after you there in Egypt; and there you shall die.

17 O o saasay wada noqon doonaan dadkii wejigooda ku qummaatiyaa inay Masar galaan oo ay halkaas degaan. Waxay ku dhiman doonaan seef, iyo abaar, iyo belaayo, oo midkoodna kama hadhi doono, kamana baxsan doono masiibada aan korkooda ku soo dejin doono.

So shall it be with all the men who set their faces to go to Egypt to dwell there. They shall die by the sword, by famine, and by pestilence. And none of them shall remain or escape from the disaster that I will bring upon them.’

18 W aayo, Rabbiga ciidammada oo ah Ilaaha reer binu Israa'iil wuxuu leeyahay, Sidii xanaaqaygii iyo cadhadaydii ay kuwii Yeruusaalem degganaa ugu dheceen oo kale ayaa cadhadaydu idiinku dhici doonta markaad dalka Masar gashaan, oo weliba waxaad wada noqon doontaan wax aad loo karho, iyo wax laga yaabo, iyo inkaar, iyo cay, oo meeshanna mar dambe ma aad arki doontaan innaba.

“For thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: ‘As My anger and My fury have been poured out on the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so will My fury be poured out on you when you enter Egypt. And you shall be an oath, an astonishment, a curse, and a reproach; and you shall see this place no more.’

19 K uwiinna dadka Yahuudah ka hadhayow, Rabbigu wuxuu idinku soo yidhi, Masar ha tegina. Haddaba bal si xaqiiqa ah u ogaada inaan maanta idiin digay.

“The Lord has said concerning you, O remnant of Judah, ‘Do not go to Egypt!’ Know certainly that I have admonished you this day.

20 W aayo, idinku nafsaddiinnaad aad u khiyaanayseen, maxaa yeelay, waxaad ii dirteen Rabbiga Ilaahiinna ah, oo aad igu tidhaahdeen, Rabbiga Ilaaheenna ah noo bari, oo wax alla wixii Rabbiga Ilaaheenna ahu uu kugu soo yidhaahdaba noo soo sheeg, oo annaguna waannu samayn doonnaa.

For you were hypocrites in your hearts when you sent me to the Lord your God, saying, ‘Pray for us to the Lord our God, and according to all that the Lord your God says, so declare to us and we will do it. ’

21 H addaba maanta xaalkan waan idiin sheegay, laakiinse idinku ma aydaan addeecin codkii Rabbiga Ilaahiinna ah iyo wixii uu iigu soo kiin dhiibay toona.

And I have this day declared it to you, but you have not obeyed the voice of the Lord your God, or anything which He has sent you by me.

22 H addaba bal si xaqiiqa ah u ogaada in meesha aad doonaysaan inaad tagtaan oo aad sii joogtaan aad seef iyo abaar iyo belaayo ugu dhiman doontaan.

Now therefore, know certainly that you shall die by the sword, by famine, and by pestilence in the place where you desire to go to dwell.”
