Biqilka Xaq Ah

23 Rabbigu wuxuu leeyahay, Waxaa iska hoogay adhijirrada idihii daaqsintayda baabbi'iya oo kala firdhiya! Sidaas daraaddeed Rabbiga ah Ilaaha reer binu Israa'iil wuxuu ka leeyahay adhijirrada dadkayga daajiya, Adhigaygii waad kala firdhiseen, waadna kala erideen, oo soomana aydnaan ilaalin. Bal eega, waxaan idiin ciqaabi doonaa sharkii falimihiinna, ayaa Rabbigu leeyahay. Oo intii adhigayga ka hadhayna waxaan ka soo wada ururin doonaa waddammadii aan u kexeeyey oo dhan, waanan ku soo celin doonaa xeryahoodii, oo wax badan way dhali doonaan, wayna tarmi doonaan. Oo waxaan iyaga u yeeli doonaa adhijirro daajiya, oo mar dambe ma ay baqi doonaan, mana ay nixi doonaan, oo innaba midna kama dhimmanaan doono.

Rabbigu wuxuu leeyahay, Bal eega, waxaa soo socda wakhti aan Daa'uud u kicin doono biqil xaq ah, oo boqor ayuu ahaan doonaa, wuuna liibaani doonaa, oo wuxuu dhulka ku samayn doonaa caddaalad iyo xaqnimo. Oo wakhtigiisa dadka Yahuudah way badbaadi doonaan, oo dadka Israa'iilna ammaan bay ku degganaan doonaan, oo magiciisa lagu magacaabi doonona waa Rabbiga Xaqnimadayada ah. Sidaas daraaddeed Rabbigu wuxuu leeyahay, Bal ogaada, waxaa soo socda wakhti aan mar dambe la odhan doonin, Waxaa nool Rabbigii reer binu Israa'iil dalkii Masar ka soo bixiyey. Laakiinse waxaa la odhan doonaa, Waxaa nool Rabbigii farcankii reer binu Israa'iil ka soo bixiyey oo ka soo hor kacay dalkii woqooyi, iyo dalalkii uu u kexeeyey oo dhan, oo iyana waxay degganaan doonaan dalkooda.

Nebiyo Been Ah

Qalbigaygii uurkayguu ku qarracmay waana nebiyada daraaddood, lafahayga oo dhammu way wada ruxmadaan, oo waxaan la mid ahay nin sakhraan ah oo khamri ka adkaaday, waana Rabbiga iyo erayadiisa quduuska ah daraaddood. 10 Dalka waxaa ka buuxa dhillayo, oo habaar daraaddiis ayaa dalkii la barooranayaa. Daaqsimihii duurku way wada engegeen. Socodkoodu waa shar oo xooggooduna ma qummana. 11 Waayo, Rabbigu wuxuu leeyahay, Nebigii iyo wadaadkiiba nijaas bay wada yihiin, oo gurigayga ayaan xumaantoodii ka helay. 12 Sidaas daraaddeed jidkoodu wuxuu u noqon doonaa sida meelo sibiibix ah oo gudcur ku dhex yaal. Iyaga waa lagu sii kaxayn doonaa oo halkaasay ku dhici doonaan, waayo, sannadda ciqaabiddooda masiibo baan ku soo dayn doonaa, ayaa Rabbigu leeyahay. 13 Oo nebiyada Samaariyana nacasnimaan ku arkay. Waxay wax ku sii sheegeen Bacal magiciisa, oo dadkaygii reer binu Israa'iilna way qaldeen. 14 Oo nebiyadii Yeruusaalemna wax aad iyo aad u xun, baan ku arkay. Way sinaystaan, oo been bay ku socdaan, oo weliba waxay sii xoogeeyaan gacmaha xumaanfalayaasha, si aan midnaba xumaantiisa uga soo noqon. Iyagu kulligood waxay iila mid noqdeen sidii Sodom, oo kuwii degganaana sidii Gomora oo kale.

15 Sidaas daraaddeed Rabbiga ciidammadu wuxuu nebiyada ka leeyahay, Bal ogaada, waxaan iyaga ku quudin doonaa dacar, oo waxaan cabsiin doonaa biyo xammeetiyeed, waayo, nijaas baa nebiyada Yeruusaalem ka soo faaftay oo waxay wada gaadhay dalka oo dhan. 16 Rabbiga ciidammadu wuxuu leeyahay, Nebiyada wax idiin sii sheega hadalkooda ha maqlina, waayo, wax aan waxba ahayn way idin baraan, oo waxay ku hadlaan riyo qalbigooda ka timid oo aan afka Rabbiga ka soo bixin. 17 Oo waxay had iyo goorba kuwa i quudhsada ku yidhaahdaan, Rabbigu wuxuu yidhi, Nabad baad helaysaan. Oo waxay mid kasta oo caasinimada qalbigiisa daba galana ku yidhaahdaan, Wax masiibo ahu innaba kugu dhici maayaan. 18 Waayo, bal yaa guddiga Rabbiga dhex istaagay inuu garto oo maqlo eraygiisa? Yaase eraygiisa dhegta u dhigay oo soo maqlay? 19 Bal eega, duufaankii Rabbiga ayaa soo baxay, kaasoo ah cadhadiis, waana dabayl cirwareen ah, oo waxay ku dhici doontaa madaxa sharrowyada. 20 Rabbiga xanaaqiisu dib u noqon maayo jeeruu sameeyo oo wada oofiyo qasdiga qalbigiisa, oo ugudambaystana aad baad u garan doontaan. 21 Anigu nebiyadaas sooma aan dirin, laakiinse way ordeen oo iyaga lama aan hadlin, laakiinse wax bay sii sheegeen. 22 Haddii ay guddigayga dhex istaageen, de markaas dadkaygay erayadayda maqashiin lahaayeen, oo waxay iyaga ka soo celin lahaayeen jidkooda xun iyo sharka falimahoodaba. 23 Rabbigu wuxuu leeyahay, Anigu ma waxaan ahay Ilaah dhow, oo miyaanan ahayn Ilaah fog? 24 Rabbigu wuxuu leeyahay, Miyaa cidi isku qarin kartaa meelo qarsoon oo aanan ka arki karin? Waxaa kaluu Rabbigu leeyahay, Anigu sow kama buuxo cirka iyo dhulkaba? 25 Waan maqlay wixii ay yidhaahdeen nebiyada magacayga beenta ku sii sheega oo yidhaahda, Waan riyooday, waan riyooday. 26 Ilaa goormay waxanu ku sii jirayaan qalbiga nebiyada beenta sii sheega? Iyagu waa nebiyo sii sheega khiyaanada qalbigooda. 27 Waxay u malaynayaan inay dadkayga magacayga ku illowsiiyaan riyooyinkooda midkood kastaba uu deriskiisa u sheego, sidii awowayaashoodba ay magacayga ugu illoobeen Bacal aawadiis. 28 Rabbigu wuxuu leeyahay, Nebigii riyo arkay, riyadiisa ha sheego, oo kii eraygayga maqlayna si daacad ah eraygayga ha u sheego. Buunshaha iyo sarreenka bal maxaa u kala dhexeeya? 29 Rabbigu wuxuu leeyahay, Miyaan eraygaygu ahayn sida dab oo kale, iyo sida dubbe dhagaxa kala burburiya oo kale? 30 Sidaas daraaddeed Rabbigu wuxuu leeyahay, Bal ogaada, anigu waxaan col ku ahay nebiyada midkood kastaba erayadayda ka xada deriskiisa. 31 Rabbigu wuxuu leeyahay, Bal ogaada, col baan ku ahay nebiyada carrabkooda ku isticmaala oo yidhaahda, Saasuu Rabbigu leeyahay. 32 Rabbigu wuxuu leeyahay, Bal ogaada, col baan ku ahay kuwa wax ku sii sheega riyooyin been ah, oo intay u warramaan dadkayga ku qalda beentooda iyo faankooda aan waxtarka lahayn. Rabbigu waxaa kaluu leeyahay, Anigu iyaga ma soo dirin, oo innaba mana amrin, oo iyagu dadkan waxba kuma tari doonaan.

Saadaallo Been Ah Iyo Nebiyo Been Ah

33 Oo markii dadkan ama nebi ama wadaad uu ku weyddiiyo, oo uu kugu yidhaahdo, Rabbiga warkiisa culus waa maxay? Waxaad iyaga ku tidhaahdaa, Waa war maxay ah? Waan idin xoorayaa, ayaa Rabbigu leeyahay. 34 Oo weliba nebigii iyo wadaadkii iyo dadkii odhan doona, Waa kan warka culus ee Rabbiga, ninkaas iyo reerkiisaba waan ciqaabi doonaa. 35 Midkiin kastaaba wuxuu deriskiisa ku odhan doonaa, oo midkiin kastaaba wuxuu walaalkiis ku odhan doonaa, Muxuu Rabbigu ku jawaabay? Oo muxuu Rabbigu ku hadlay? 36 Oo Rabbiga warkiisa culusna mar dambe kama aad hadli doontaan, waayo, nin walba eraygiisaa war culus u noqon doona, maxaa yeelay, idinku waxaad qalloociseen erayadii Ilaaha nool oo ah Rabbiga ciidammada oo ah Ilaahayaga. 37 Waxaad nebiga ku tidhaahdaa, Muxuu Rabbigu kuugu jawaabay? Oo muxuu Rabbigu ku hadlay? 38 Laakiinse haddaad tidhaahdaan, Waa warka culus ee Rabbiga, Rabbigu wuxuu idinku leeyahay, Idinku waxaad tidhaahdaan erayadan oo ah, Waa warka culus ee Rabbiga, oo sidaas daraaddeed baan idiinku soo cid diray anigoo idinku leh, Waa inaadan odhan, Waa warka culus ee Rabbiga. 39 Sidaas daraaddeed bal ogaada, Aniga qudhayda ayaa giddigiin idin illoobi doona, waanan idin xoori doonaa idinka iyo magaaladii aan idinka iyo awowayaashiinba siiyey, oo hortaydana waan idinka fogayn doonaa. 40 Oo waxaan idinku soo dejin doonaa cay aan weligeed idinka hadhayn, iyo ceeb had iyo goorba idinku dul waaraysa, oo aan marnaba la illoobayn.

The Righteous Branch

23 “Woe to the shepherds(A) who are destroying and scattering(B) the sheep of my pasture!”(C) declares the Lord. Therefore this is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says to the shepherds(D) who tend my people: “Because you have scattered my flock(E) and driven them away and have not bestowed care on them, I will bestow punishment on you for the evil(F) you have done,” declares the Lord. “I myself will gather the remnant(G) of my flock out of all the countries where I have driven them and will bring them back to their pasture,(H) where they will be fruitful and increase in number. I will place shepherds(I) over them who will tend them, and they will no longer be afraid(J) or terrified, nor will any be missing,(K)” declares the Lord.

“The days are coming,” declares the Lord,
    “when I will raise up for David[a] a righteous Branch,(L)
a King(M) who will reign(N) wisely
    and do what is just and right(O) in the land.
In his days Judah will be saved
    and Israel will live in safety.(P)
This is the name(Q) by which he will be called:
    The Lord Our Righteous Savior.(R)

“So then, the days are coming,”(S) declares the Lord, “when people will no longer say, ‘As surely as the Lord lives, who brought the Israelites up out of Egypt,’(T) but they will say, ‘As surely as the Lord lives, who brought the descendants of Israel up out of the land of the north and out of all the countries where he had banished them.’ Then they will live in their own land.”(U)

Lying Prophets

Concerning the prophets:

My heart(V) is broken within me;
    all my bones tremble.(W)
I am like a drunken man,
    like a strong man overcome by wine,
because of the Lord
    and his holy words.(X)
10 The land is full of adulterers;(Y)
    because of the curse[b](Z) the land lies parched
    and the pastures(AA) in the wilderness are withered.(AB)
The prophets follow an evil course
    and use their power unjustly.

11 “Both prophet and priest are godless;(AC)
    even in my temple(AD) I find their wickedness,”
declares the Lord.
12 “Therefore their path will become slippery;(AE)
    they will be banished to darkness
    and there they will fall.
I will bring disaster on them
    in the year they are punished,(AF)
declares the Lord.

13 “Among the prophets of Samaria
    I saw this repulsive thing:
They prophesied by Baal(AG)
    and led my people Israel astray.(AH)
14 And among the prophets of Jerusalem
    I have seen something horrible:(AI)
    They commit adultery and live a lie.(AJ)
They strengthen the hands of evildoers,(AK)
    so that not one of them turns from their wickedness.(AL)
They are all like Sodom(AM) to me;
    the people of Jerusalem are like Gomorrah.”(AN)

15 Therefore this is what the Lord Almighty says concerning the prophets:

“I will make them eat bitter food
    and drink poisoned water,(AO)
because from the prophets of Jerusalem
    ungodliness(AP) has spread throughout the land.”

16 This is what the Lord Almighty says:

“Do not listen(AQ) to what the prophets are prophesying to you;
    they fill you with false hopes.
They speak visions(AR) from their own minds,
    not from the mouth(AS) of the Lord.
17 They keep saying(AT) to those who despise me,
    ‘The Lord says: You will have peace.’(AU)
And to all who follow the stubbornness(AV) of their hearts
    they say, ‘No harm(AW) will come to you.’
18 But which of them has stood in the council(AX) of the Lord
    to see or to hear his word?
    Who has listened and heard his word?
19 See, the storm(AY) of the Lord
    will burst out in wrath,
a whirlwind(AZ) swirling down
    on the heads of the wicked.
20 The anger(BA) of the Lord will not turn back(BB)
    until he fully accomplishes
    the purposes of his heart.
In days to come
    you will understand it clearly.
21 I did not send(BC) these prophets,
    yet they have run with their message;
I did not speak to them,
    yet they have prophesied.
22 But if they had stood in my council,(BD)
    they would have proclaimed(BE) my words to my people
and would have turned(BF) them from their evil ways
    and from their evil deeds.(BG)

23 “Am I only a God nearby,(BH)
declares the Lord,
    “and not a God far away?
24 Who can hide(BI) in secret places
    so that I cannot see them?”
declares the Lord.
    “Do not I fill heaven and earth?”(BJ)
declares the Lord.

25 “I have heard what the prophets say who prophesy lies(BK) in my name. They say, ‘I had a dream!(BL) I had a dream!’ 26 How long will this continue in the hearts of these lying prophets, who prophesy the delusions(BM) of their own minds?(BN) 27 They think the dreams they tell one another will make my people forget(BO) my name, just as their ancestors forgot(BP) my name through Baal worship.(BQ) 28 Let the prophet who has a dream(BR) recount the dream, but let the one who has my word(BS) speak it faithfully. For what has straw to do with grain?” declares the Lord. 29 “Is not my word like fire,”(BT) declares the Lord, “and like a hammer(BU) that breaks a rock in pieces?

30 “Therefore,” declares the Lord, “I am against(BV) the prophets(BW) who steal from one another words supposedly from me. 31 Yes,” declares the Lord, “I am against the prophets who wag their own tongues and yet declare, ‘The Lord declares.’(BX) 32 Indeed, I am against those who prophesy false dreams,(BY)” declares the Lord. “They tell them and lead my people astray(BZ) with their reckless lies,(CA) yet I did not send(CB) or appoint them. They do not benefit(CC) these people in the least,” declares the Lord.

False Prophecy

33 “When these people, or a prophet or a priest, ask you, ‘What is the message(CD) from the Lord?’ say to them, ‘What message? I will forsake(CE) you, declares the Lord.’ 34 If a prophet or a priest or anyone else claims, ‘This is a message(CF) from the Lord,’ I will punish(CG) them and their household. 35 This is what each of you keeps saying to your friends and other Israelites: ‘What is the Lord’s answer?’(CH) or ‘What has the Lord spoken?’ 36 But you must not mention ‘a message from the Lord’ again, because each one’s word becomes their own message. So you distort(CI) the words of the living God,(CJ) the Lord Almighty, our God. 37 This is what you keep saying to a prophet: ‘What is the Lord’s answer to you?’ or ‘What has the Lord spoken?’ 38 Although you claim, ‘This is a message from the Lord,’ this is what the Lord says: You used the words, ‘This is a message from the Lord,’ even though I told you that you must not claim, ‘This is a message from the Lord.’ 39 Therefore, I will surely forget you and cast(CK) you out of my presence along with the city I gave to you and your ancestors. 40 I will bring on you everlasting disgrace(CL)—everlasting shame that will not be forgotten.”
