Israa'iil Waa La Baabbi'in Doonaa

Waxaan arkay Sayidka oo ag taagan meesha allabariga, oo wuxuu yidhi, Fayaaradaha garaac ilaa meelahooda sare gariiraan, oo dadka oo dhan madaxooda ku wada jejebi, oo intii ka hadhana seef baan ku layn doonaa. Midkoodna ma carari doono, oo midkoodna ma baxsan doono. Oo xataa hadday hoos u qodaan ilaa She'ool, gacantaydaa halkaas ka soo saari doonta, oo xataa hadday samada fuulaan anigaa ka soo dejin doona halkaasna. Oo xataa hadday ku dhuntaan Buur Karmel dhaladeeda anigaa halkaas ka baadhi doona oo ka soo bixin doona, oo xataa hadday badda gunteeda iga dhuntaan, halkaasna waan ka amri doonaa mas, oo isna wuu qaniini doonaa. Oo xataa hadday cadaawayaashooda maxaabiis ahaan u hor socdaan, halkaasna seef baan ka amri doonaa, iyana way layn doontaa, oo waxaan indhahayga iyaga ugu taagi doonaa inaan belaayo ku sameeyo oo aanan wanaag u samayn. Oo Sayidka Rabbiga ciidammada ahu waa kan dhulka taabta oo dhulkuna wuu dhalaalaa, oo kuwa deggan oo dhammuna way wada barooran doonaan, oo dhammaantiis wuxuu u kici doonaa sida Webiga, dabadeedna wuxuu u degi doonaa sida Webiga Masar. Waa isaga kan qolladihiisa sare samada ka dhistay, oo hoygiisa hoose ee isku qabtana dhalka ku aasaasay, oo intuu biyaha badda u yeedha dhulka korkiisa ku daadiya, magiciisuna waa Rabbi. Dadka Israa'iilow, sow aniga ilama mid ahidin sida reer Itoobiya? ayaa Rabbigu leeyahay. Sow anigu reer binu Israa'iil kama soo bixin dalkii Masar? Reer Falastiinna sow kama soo bixin Kaftoor, reer Suuriyana sow kama soo bixin Qiir? Bal eega, Sayidka Rabbiga ah indhihiisu waxay fiirinayaan Boqortooyadii dembi badan, oo dhulkaan ka baabbi'in doonaa, laakiinse reer Yacquub ma aan wada baabbi'in doono, ayaa Rabbigu leeyahay. Waayo, bal eega, anigu waan amri doonaa, oo dadka Israa'iil waan ku kala haadin doonaa quruumaha oo dhan, sida hadhuudh xaadhin loogu haadiyo, laakiinse xabbad yaruna dhulka kuma dhici doonto. 10 Dembilayaasha dadkayga oo dhan oo leh, Belaayo na soo gaadhi mayso nana heli mayso, dhammaantood seef bay ku dhiman doonaan.

Soo Celintii Israa'iil

11 Wakhtigaas waxaan sare kicin doonaa taambuuggii Daa'uud oo dhacay, waanan awdi doonaa daldaloolkiisa, oo jajabkiisana waan sare kicin doonaa, oo waxaan u dhisi doonaa sidii waagii hore, 12 inay iyagu dhaxlaan kuwii ka hadhay reer Edom iyo quruumaha magacayga loogu yeedho oo dhan, ayaa Rabbiga waxan sameeya leeyahay. 13 Oo Rabbigu wuxuu leeyahay, Bal eega, waxaa iman doona wakhti kan beerta falaa uu soo gaadhi doono kan gooya, oo kan canabka ku tuntaana wuxuu soo gaadhi doonaa kan iniinaha beera, oo buurahana waxaa ka soo daadan doona khamri macaan, oo kuraha oo dhammuna way wada dhalaali doonaan. 14 Oo anigu waxaan soo celin doonaa maxaabiistii dadkayga Israa'iil, oo iyana way dhisi doonaan magaalooyinkii baabba'ay, wayna degi doonaan, oo beercanabyo way beeran doonaan, khamrigoodana way cabbi doonaan, oo weliba waxay samaysan doonaan beero, oo midhahooda way cuni doonaan. 15 Oo Rabbiga Ilaahaaga ahu wuxuu leeyahay, Waxaan iyaga ku beeri doonaa dalkoodii, oo mar dambena lagama rujin doono dalkooda aan siiyey.

The Destruction of Israel

I saw the Lord standing beside[a] the altar, and he said:

(A)“Strike the capitals until (B)the thresholds (C)shake,
    (D)and shatter them on the heads of all the people;[b]
and those who are left of them I will kill with the sword;
    (E)not one of them shall flee away;
    not one of them shall escape.

(F)“If they dig into Sheol,
    from there shall my hand take them;
(G)if they climb up to heaven,
    from there I will bring them down.
If they hide themselves on (H)the top of Carmel,
    from there I will search them out and take them;
(I)and if they hide from my sight at the bottom of the sea,
    there I will command the serpent, and it shall bite them.
(J)And if they go into captivity before their enemies,
    there I will command the sword, and it shall kill them;
(K)and I will fix my eyes upon them
    for evil and not for good.”

The Lord God of hosts,
he who touches the earth and (L)it melts,
    and all who dwell in it mourn,
(M)and all of it rises like the Nile,
    (N)and sinks again, like the Nile of Egypt;
(O)who builds his upper chambers in the heavens
    and founds his vault upon the earth;
(P)who calls for the waters of the sea
    and pours them out upon the surface of the earth—
(Q)the Lord is his name.

“Are you not like (R)the Cushites to me,
    O people of Israel?” declares the Lord.
(S)“Did I not bring up Israel from the land of Egypt,
    and (T)the Philistines from (U)Caphtor and the Syrians from (V)Kir?
Behold, (W)the eyes of the Lord God are upon the sinful kingdom,
    and I will destroy it from the surface of the ground,
    (X)except that I will not utterly destroy the house of Jacob,”
declares the Lord.

“For behold, I will command,
    (Y)and shake the house of Israel among all the nations
as one shakes with a sieve,
    but no pebble shall fall to the earth.
10 All the sinners of my people shall die by the sword,
    who say, (Z)‘Disaster shall not overtake or meet us.’

The Restoration of Israel

11 “In that day (AA)I will raise up
    the booth of David that is fallen
and repair its breaches,
    and raise up its ruins
    and rebuild it as in the days of old,
12 (AB)that they may possess the remnant of Edom
    and (AC)all the nations who are called by my name,”[c]
    declares the Lord who does this.

13 “Behold, the days are coming,” declares the Lord,
    (AD)“when the plowman shall overtake the reaper
    and the treader of grapes him who sows the seed;
(AE)the mountains shall drip sweet wine,
    and all the hills shall flow with it.
14 (AF)I will restore the fortunes of my people Israel,
    and (AG)they shall rebuild the ruined cities and inhabit them;
(AH)they shall plant vineyards and drink their wine,
    and they shall make gardens and eat their fruit.
15 (AI)I will plant them on their land,
    (AJ)and they shall never again be uprooted
    out of the land (AK)that I have given them,”
says the Lord your God.

Israel to Be Destroyed

I saw the Lord standing by the altar, and he said:

“Strike the tops of the pillars
    so that the thresholds shake.
Bring them down on the heads(A) of all the people;
    those who are left I will kill with the sword.
Not one will get away,
    none will escape.(B)
Though they dig down to the depths below,(C)
    from there my hand will take them.
Though they climb up to the heavens above,(D)
    from there I will bring them down.(E)
Though they hide themselves on the top of Carmel,(F)
    there I will hunt them down and seize them.(G)
Though they hide from my eyes at the bottom of the sea,(H)
    there I will command the serpent(I) to bite them.(J)
Though they are driven into exile by their enemies,
    there I will command the sword(K) to slay them.

“I will keep my eye on them
    for harm(L) and not for good.(M)(N)

The Lord, the Lord Almighty—
he touches the earth and it melts,(O)
    and all who live in it mourn;
the whole land rises like the Nile,
    then sinks like the river of Egypt;(P)
he builds his lofty palace[a](Q) in the heavens
    and sets its foundation[b] on the earth;
he calls for the waters of the sea
    and pours them out over the face of the land—
    the Lord is his name.(R)

“Are not you Israelites
    the same to me as the Cushites[c]?”(S)
declares the Lord.
“Did I not bring Israel up from Egypt,
    the Philistines(T) from Caphtor[d](U)
    and the Arameans from Kir?(V)

“Surely the eyes of the Sovereign Lord
    are on the sinful kingdom.
I will destroy(W) it
    from the face of the earth.
Yet I will not totally destroy
    the descendants of Jacob,”
declares the Lord.(X)
“For I will give the command,
    and I will shake the people of Israel
    among all the nations
as grain(Y) is shaken in a sieve,(Z)
    and not a pebble will reach the ground.(AA)
10 All the sinners among my people
    will die by the sword,(AB)
all those who say,
    ‘Disaster will not overtake or meet us.’(AC)

Israel’s Restoration

11 “In that day

“I will restore David’s(AD) fallen shelter(AE)
    I will repair its broken walls
    and restore its ruins(AF)
    and will rebuild it as it used to be,(AG)
12 so that they may possess the remnant of Edom(AH)
    and all the nations that bear my name,[e](AI)
declares the Lord, who will do these things.(AJ)

13 “The days are coming,”(AK) declares the Lord,

“when the reaper(AL) will be overtaken by the plowman(AM)
    and the planter by the one treading(AN) grapes.
New wine(AO) will drip from the mountains
    and flow from all the hills,(AP)
14     and I will bring(AQ) my people Israel back from exile.[f](AR)

“They will rebuild the ruined cities(AS) and live in them.
    They will plant vineyards(AT) and drink their wine;
    they will make gardens and eat their fruit.(AU)
15 I will plant(AV) Israel in their own land,(AW)
    never again to be uprooted(AX)
    from the land I have given them,”(AY)

says the Lord your God.(AZ)
