Abaar, Gaajo Iyo Seef

14 Kanu waa Eraygii Rabbiga ee abaarta ku saabsanaa ee Yeremyaah u yimid. Dadka dalka Yahuudah way barooranayaan, irdahoodii way jilceen, oo iyagoo ooyaya ayay dhulka fadhiyaan, oo Yeruusaalem qayladeeduna kor bay u kacaysaa. Oo 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. Dhulkii wuu dildillaacay, waayo, roob kuma di'in, oo taas darteed raggii beerta qodan jiray ayaa ceebooba, oo madaxay hagoogtaan. Oo xataa deeradii duurkay ku dhashaa, oo ilmaheedana way dayrisaa, maxaa yeelay, meeshaasu caws ma leh innaba. Oo dameerdibadeedyadana waxay istaagaan meelaha dhaadheer, oo waxay u hinraagaan sida dawacooyin oo kale. Indhahoodii way madoobaanayaan, maxaa yeelay, doog bay waayaan.

Rabbiyow, in kastoo ay xumaatooyinkayagu nagu marag furayaan, magacaaga aawadiis wax u samee, waayo, dibunoqoshadayadu way badan tahay, oo adigaannu kugu dembaabnay. Rajadii 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? Bal 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.

10 Rabbigu 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. 11 Oo Rabbigu wuxuu igu yidhi, Dadkan wax wanaagsan ha ugu ducayn. 12 Markay 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. 13 Markaasaan 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. 14 Markaasaa 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. 15 Sidaas 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. 16 Oo 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. 17 Waxaad 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. 18 Haddaan 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.

19 Rabbiyow, 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! 20 Rabbiyow, annagu waannu aqoonsannaa sharnimadayada iyo xumaantii awowayaashayoba, waayo, waannu kugu dembaabnay. 21 Magacaaga aawadiis waan ku baryayaaye, Ha na karaahsan oo arshigii sharaftaadana ha sharafjebin, bal na soo xusuuso, oo ha nagu axdi furin. 22 Sanamyada 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.

Drought, Famine, Sword

14 This is the word of the Lord that came to Jeremiah concerning the drought:(A)

“Judah mourns,(B)
    her cities languish;
they wail for the land,
    and a cry goes up from Jerusalem.
The nobles send their servants for water;
    they go to the cisterns
    but find no water.(C)
They return with their jars unfilled;
    dismayed and despairing,
    they cover their heads.(D)
The ground is cracked
    because there is no rain in the land;(E)
the farmers are dismayed
    and cover their heads.
Even the doe in the field
    deserts her newborn fawn
    because there is no grass.(F)
Wild donkeys stand on the barren heights(G)
    and pant like jackals;
their eyes fail
    for lack of food.”(H)

Although our sins testify(I) against us,
    do something, Lord, for the sake of your name.(J)
For we have often rebelled;(K)
    we have sinned(L) against you.
You who are the hope(M) of Israel,
    its Savior(N) in times of distress,(O)
why are you like a stranger in the land,
    like a traveler who stays only a night?
Why are you like a man taken by surprise,
    like a warrior powerless to save?(P)
You are among(Q) us, Lord,
    and we bear your name;(R)
    do not forsake(S) us!

10 This is what the Lord says about this people:

“They greatly love to wander;
    they do not restrain their feet.(T)
So the Lord does not accept(U) them;
    he will now remember(V) their wickedness
    and punish them for their sins.”(W)

11 Then the Lord said to me, “Do not pray(X) for the well-being of this people. 12 Although they fast, I will not listen to their cry;(Y) though they offer burnt offerings(Z) and grain offerings,(AA) I will not accept(AB) them. Instead, I will destroy them with the sword,(AC) famine(AD) and plague.”(AE)

13 But I said, “Alas, Sovereign Lord! The prophets(AF) keep telling them, ‘You will not see the sword or suffer famine.(AG) Indeed, I will give you lasting peace(AH) in this place.’”

14 Then the Lord said to me, “The prophets are prophesying lies(AI) in my name. I have not sent(AJ) them or appointed them or spoken to them. They are prophesying to you false visions,(AK) divinations,(AL) idolatries[a] and the delusions of their own minds. 15 Therefore this is what the Lord says about the prophets who are prophesying in my name: I did not send them, yet they are saying, ‘No sword or famine will touch this land.’ Those same prophets will perish(AM) by sword and famine.(AN) 16 And the people they are prophesying to will be thrown out into the streets of Jerusalem because of the famine and sword. There will be no one to bury(AO) them, their wives, their sons and their daughters.(AP) I will pour out on them the calamity they deserve.(AQ)

17 “Speak this word to them:

“‘Let my eyes overflow with tears(AR)
    night and day without ceasing;
for the Virgin(AS) Daughter, my people,
    has suffered a grievous wound,
    a crushing blow.(AT)
18 If I go into the country,
    I see those slain by the sword;
if I go into the city,
    I see the ravages of famine.(AU)
Both prophet and priest
    have gone to a land they know not.(AV)’”

19 Have you rejected Judah completely?(AW)
    Do you despise Zion?
Why have you afflicted us
    so that we cannot be healed?(AX)
We hoped for peace
    but no good has come,
for a time of healing
    but there is only terror.(AY)
20 We acknowledge(AZ) our wickedness, Lord,
    and the guilt of our ancestors;(BA)
    we have indeed sinned(BB) against you.
21 For the sake of your name(BC) do not despise us;
    do not dishonor your glorious throne.(BD)
Remember your covenant(BE) with us
    and do not break it.
22 Do any of the worthless idols(BF) of the nations bring rain?(BG)
    Do the skies themselves send down showers?
No, it is you, Lord our God.
    Therefore our hope is in you,
    for you are the one who does all this.(BH)

  1. Jeremiah 14:14 Or visions, worthless divinations

14 The word of the Lord that came to Jeremiah concerning the dearth.

Judah mourneth, and the gates thereof languish; they are black unto the ground; and the cry of Jerusalem is gone up.

And their nobles have sent their little ones to the waters: they came to the pits, and found no water; they returned with their vessels empty; they were ashamed and confounded, and covered their heads.

Because the ground is chapt, for there was no rain in the earth, the plowmen were ashamed, they covered their heads.

Yea, the hind also calved in the field, and forsook it, because there was no grass.

And the wild asses did stand in the high places, they snuffed up the wind like dragons; their eyes did fail, because there was no grass.

O Lord, though our iniquities testify against us, do thou it for thy name's sake: for our backslidings are many; we have sinned against thee.

O the hope of Israel, the saviour thereof in time of trouble, why shouldest thou be as a stranger in the land, and as a wayfaring man that turneth aside to tarry for a night?

Why shouldest thou be as a man astonied, as a mighty man that cannot save? yet thou, O Lord, art in the midst of us, and we are called by thy name; leave us not.

10 Thus saith the Lord unto this people, Thus have they loved to wander, they have not refrained their feet, therefore the Lord doth not accept them; he will now remember their iniquity, and visit their sins.

11 Then said the Lord unto me, Pray not for this people for their good.

12 When they fast, I will not hear their cry; and when they offer burnt offering and an oblation, I will not accept them: but I will consume them by the sword, and by the famine, and by the pestilence.

13 Then said I, Ah, Lord God! behold, the prophets say unto them, Ye shall not see the sword, neither shall ye have famine; but I will give you assured peace in this place.

14 Then the Lord said unto me, The prophets prophesy lies in my name: I sent them not, neither have I commanded them, neither spake unto them: they prophesy unto you a false vision and divination, and a thing of nought, and the deceit of their heart.

15 Therefore thus saith the Lord concerning the prophets that prophesy in my name, and I sent them not, yet they say, Sword and famine shall not be in this land; By sword and famine shall those prophets be consumed.

16 And the people to whom they prophesy shall be cast out in the streets of Jerusalem because of the famine and the sword; and they shall have none to bury them, them, their wives, nor their sons, nor their daughters: for I will pour their wickedness upon them.

17 Therefore thou shalt say this word unto them; Let mine eyes run down with tears night and day, and let them not cease: for the virgin daughter of my people is broken with a great breach, with a very grievous blow.

18 If I go forth into the field, then behold the slain with the sword! and if I enter into the city, then behold them that are sick with famine! yea, both the prophet and the priest go about into a land that they know not.

19 Hast thou utterly rejected Judah? hath thy soul lothed Zion? why hast thou smitten us, and there is no healing for us? we looked for peace, and there is no good; and for the time of healing, and behold trouble!

20 We acknowledge, O Lord, our wickedness, and the iniquity of our fathers: for we have sinned against thee.

21 Do not abhor us, for thy name's sake, do not disgrace the throne of thy glory: remember, break not thy covenant with us.

22 Are there any among the vanities of the Gentiles that can cause rain? or can the heavens give showers? art not thou he, O Lord our God? therefore we will wait upon thee: for thou hast made all these things.
