Hoogga Kuwa Caajisan

Waxaa iska hoogay kuwa Siyoon xasilloonaan ku nool, oo buurta Samaariya ammaan ku deggan, kuwaasoo ah kuwa caanka ah ee madaxda quruumaha oo dadka Israa'iil u yimaadaan! Kalneh u gudba oo bal eega, oo halkaasna ka sii taga Xamaad tan weyn, dabadeedna waxaad sii tagtaan Gad ta reer Falastiin. Iyagu miyey ka wanaagsan yihiin boqortooyooyinkaas? Dalkoodu miyuu ka weyn yahay dalkiinna? Waxaa iska hoogay kuwiinna maalintii sharka fogeeya, oo ka dhiga fadhigii dulmiga inuu soo dhowaado, oo sariiro foolmaroodi ah ku jiifsada, oo gogosha isku kala bixiya, oo cuna baraarka idaha iyo weylaha edegga ku dhex jira, oo u heesa dhawaaqa shareeradda, oo isu hindisa alaab muusiko sidii kuwii Daa'uud, oo khamriga maddiibadaha ku cabba, oo ku subkada saliidda ugu wada fiican, laakiinse kama murugaysna dhibaatada reer Yuusuf haysata. Haddaba sidaas daraaddeed iyagu waxay haatan raaci doonaan kuwa marka hore maxaabiis ahaanta loo kaxaysan doono, oo diyaafadda kuwa iskala bixin jiray waa dhammaan doontaa.

Rabbiga Oo Karhay Kibirkii Yacquub

Rabbiga ah Ilaaha ciidammadu wuxuu leeyahay, Sayidka Rabbiga ahu wuxuu ku dhaartay nafsaddiisa, oo yidhi, Anigu waan karhay islaweynaanta reer Yacquub, oo waan nebcahay daarihiisa waaweyn, sidaas daraaddeed magaalada iyo waxa ku dhex jira oo dhanba cadow baan u gacangelin doonaa. Oo haddii toban nin guri keliya ku hadho way dhiman doonaan. 10 Oo markii nin adeerkiis oo ah kan isaga gubi doona uu kor u qaado inuu lafaha guriga ka soo bixiyo, oo uu ku yidhaahdo kan guriga gudihiisa shishe ku jira, War weli ma qaar baa kula jooga? Oo isna uu yidhaahdo, Maya, markaasuu ku odhan doonaa, War naga aamus, waayo, waa inaannan magaca Rabbiga soo qaadin. 11 Waayo, bal eeg, Rabbigu waa amraa, oo daarta weyn waxaa lagu dhufan doonaa daldalool, guriga yarna waxaa lagu dhufan dildillaac. 12 Miyaa fardo dhagaxa ku ordi doonaan? Miyaase mid halkaas dibi ku beerjeexi doonaa? Laakiin, idinku garsooriddii waxaad u beddesheen xammeeti, oo midhihii xaqnimadana waxaad u beddesheen dacar. 13 Waxaad ku rayraysaan wax aan waxtar lahayn, oo waxaad tidhaahdaan, Miyaannan geeso kula soo yeelan xooggayaga? 14 Laakiinse bal eega, dadka dalka Israa'iilow, Rabbiga ah Ilaaha ciidammadu wuxuu leeyahay, Quruun baan idinku soo kicin doonaa, oo iyana waxay idinku dhibi doonaan tan iyo meesha Xamaad laga galo iyo ilaa webiga Carabaah.

Woe to the Complacent

Woe to you(A) who are complacent(B) in Zion,
    and to you who feel secure(C) on Mount Samaria,(D)
you notable men of the foremost nation,
    to whom the people of Israel come!(E)
Go to Kalneh(F) and look at it;
    go from there to great Hamath,(G)
    and then go down to Gath(H) in Philistia.
Are they better off than(I) your two kingdoms?
    Is their land larger than yours?
You put off the day of disaster
    and bring near a reign of terror.(J)
You lie on beds adorned with ivory
    and lounge on your couches.(K)
You dine on choice lambs
    and fattened calves.(L)
You strum away on your harps(M) like David
    and improvise on musical instruments.(N)
You drink wine(O) by the bowlful
    and use the finest lotions,
    but you do not grieve(P) over the ruin of Joseph.(Q)
Therefore you will be among the first to go into exile;(R)
    your feasting and lounging will end.(S)

The Lord Abhors the Pride of Israel

The Sovereign Lord has sworn by himself(T)—the Lord God Almighty declares:

“I abhor(U) the pride of Jacob(V)
    and detest his fortresses;(W)
I will deliver up(X) the city
    and everything in it.(Y)

If ten(Z) people are left in one house, they too will die. 10 And if the relative who comes to carry the bodies out of the house to burn them[a](AA) asks anyone who might be hiding there, “Is anyone else with you?” and he says, “No,” then he will go on to say, “Hush!(AB) We must not mention the name of the Lord.”

11 For the Lord has given the command,
    and he will smash(AC) the great house(AD) into pieces
    and the small house into bits.(AE)

12 Do horses run on the rocky crags?
    Does one plow the sea[b] with oxen?
But you have turned justice into poison(AF)
    and the fruit of righteousness(AG) into bitterness(AH)
13 you who rejoice in the conquest of Lo Debar[c]
    and say, “Did we not take Karnaim[d] by our own strength?(AI)

14 For the Lord God Almighty declares,
    “I will stir up a nation(AJ) against you, Israel,
that will oppress you all the way
    from Lebo Hamath(AK) to the valley of the Arabah.(AL)
