Caasinimadii Reer Binu Israa'iil

20 Oo sannaddii toddobaad, bisheedii shanaad, maalinteedii tobnaad ayaa odayaashii reer binu Israa'iil qaarkood u yimaadeen inay Rabbiga wax weyddiistaan, oo hortayday fadhiisteen. Haddana Eraygii Rabbiga ayaa ii yimid isagoo leh, Wiilka Aadamow, odayaasha reer binu Israa'iil la hadal, oo waxaad ku tidhaahdaa, Sayidka Rabbiga ahu wuxuu leeyahay, Ma waxaad u timaadeen inaad wax i weyddiisataan? Sayidka Rabbiga ahu wuxuu leeyahay, Noloshaydaan ku dhaartaye inaanan waxaad i weyddiisataan maqlayn. Wiilka Aadamow, ma doonaysaa inaad iyaga xukuntid? Ma doonaysaa inaad iyaga xukuntid? Bal iyaga waxyaalihii karaahiyada ahaa ee awowayaashood ogeysii, oo waxaad ku tidhaahdaa, Sayidka Rabbiga ahu wuxuu leeyahay, Waagii aan reer binu Israa'iil doortay, oo aan gacantayda kor ugu qaaday oo aan u dhaartay farcanka reer Yacquub, oo aan iyaga dalkii Masar dhexdiisa isku baray, oo aan ugu dhaartay anigoo ku leh, Anigu waxaan ahay Rabbiga Ilaahiinna ah, waagaas gacantaydaan kor ugu qaaday oo aan iyaga u dhaartay inaan dalkii Masar ka soo bixiyo oo aan soo geliyo dal aan iyaga u soo ilaaleeyey oo caano iyo malab la barwaaqaysan, kaasoo ah ammaantii dalalka oo dhan, oo waxaan iyaga ku idhi, Ninkiin kastaaba waxyaalaha karaahiyada ah ee indhihiisa ha iska xooro, oo sanamyada Masar ha isku nijaasaynina. Aniga ayaa ah Rabbiga Ilaahiinna ah. Laakiinse way igu caasiyoobeen, oo inay i maqlaan ayay diideen. Ninkoodna waxyaalihii karaahiyada ahaa ee indhihiisa iskama xoorin, oo sanamyadii Masarna kama ay tegin. Markaasaan idhi, Cadhadaydaan ku kor shubi doonaa, si aan iyaga dalka Masar dhexdiisa xanaaqayga ugu dhammaystiro. Laakiinse magacayga daraaddiis ayaan u shaqeeyey, si uusan ugu nijaasoobin quruumihii ay dhex joogeen hortooda, waayo, iyagoo u jeeda ayaan iyaga isbaray, markaan dalkii Masar ka soo bixiyey. 10 Sidaas daraaddeed ayaan iyaga dalkii Masar ka soo bixiyey oo cidlada keenay. 11 Oo waxaan iyaga siiyey qaynuunnadaydii, xukummadaydiina waan tusay, kuwaasoo ninkii sameeyaaba uu ku noolaanayo. 12 Oo weliba waxaan siiyey sabtiyadayda inay ahaadaan calaamad aniga iyo iyaga noo dhexaysa, si ay u ogaadaan inaan anigu ahay Rabbiga iyaga quduus ka dhiga. 13 Laakiinse reer binu Israa'iil way igu caasiyoobeen intii ay cidlada dhex joogeen. Qaynuunnadaydii kuma ay socon, oo xukummadaydiina way diideen, kuwaasoo ninkii sameeyaaba uu ku noolaanayo, oo sabtiyadaydiina si weyn bay nijaas ka dhigeen. Markaasaan idhi, Anigu waxaan korkooda ku shubi doonaa cadhadayda inta ay cidlada dhex joogaan si aan u baabbi'iyo. 14 Laakiinse magacayga daraaddiis ayaan u shaqeeyey, si uusan ugu nijaasoobin quruumihii ay dhex joogeen hortooda, waayo, iyagoo u jeeda ayaan soo bixiyey. 15 Oo weliba gacantaydaan kor ugu qaaday oo ugu dhaaray cidlada dhexdeedii inaanan geeynayn dalkii aan siiyey oo caanaha iyo malabka la barwaaqaysan oo ah ammaantii dalalka oo dhan, 16 maxaa yeelay, xukummadaydii way diideen, oo qaynuunnadaydiina kuma ay socon oo sabtiyadaydii nijaas bay ka dhigeen, waayo, qalbigoodii wuxuu raacay sanamyadoodii. 17 Habase ahaatee ishaydii way u tudhay si aanan iyaga u baabbi'in, oo cidladiina kuma aanan dhex dhammayn. 18 Oo waxaan carruurtoodii ku idhi intii ay cidladii dhex joogeen, Qaynuunnada aabbayaashiin ha ku soconina, oo xukummadoodana ha dhawrina, oo sanamyadoodana ha isku nijaasaynina. 19 Aniga ayaa ah Rabbiga Ilaahiinna ah. Qaynuunnadayda ku socda, oo xukummadayda xajiya oo sameeya, 20 oo sabtiyadayda quduus ka dhiga, oo iyana waxay ahaan doonaan calaamad aniga iyo idinka inoo dhexaysa, si aad u ogaataan inaan anigu ahay Rabbiga Ilaahiinna ah. 21 Laakiinse carruurtiina way igu caasiyoobeen, oo qaynuunnadaydiina kuma ay socon, xukummadaydiina inay sameeyaan ma xajin, kuwaasoo ninkii sameeyaaba uu ku noolaanayo, oo sabtiyadaydiina nijaas bay ka dhigeen. Markaasaan idhi, Cadhadaydaan ku kor shubi doonaa, si aan xanaaqayga iyaga ugu dhammaystiro cidlada dhexdeeda. 22 Habase ahaatee gacantaydii waan ka soo celiyey, oo magacayga daraaddiis baan u shaqeeyey, si uusan ugu nijaasoobin quruumaha hortooda, waayo, iyagoo u jeeda ayaan soo bixiyey. 23 Oo weliba gacantaydaan kor ugu qaaday oo ugu dhaartay cidlada dhexdeedii inaan iyaga quruumaha ku kala dhex eryi doono, oo aan waddammada ku dhex firdhin doono, 24 maxaa yeelay, xukummadaydii ma ay samayn, laakiinse qaynuunnadaydii way diideen, oo sabtiyadaydiina nijaas bay ka dhigeen, oo indhahooduna waxay raaceen sanamyadii awowayaashood. 25 Oo weliba iyagaan siiyey qaynuunno aan wanaagsanayn, iyo xukummo ayan ku noolaan karayn, 26 oo waxaan iyagii ku nijaaseeyey hadiyadahoodii, maxaa yeelay, dab bay u dhex marsiiyeen wixii maxal fura oo dhan, si aan iyaga cidla uga dhigo, si ay u ogaadaan inaan anigu Rabbiga ahay.

27 Sidaas aawadeed Wiilka Aadamow, waxaad la hadashaa reer binu Israa'iil, oo waxaad ku tidhaahdaa, Sayidka Rabbiga ahu wuxuu leeyahay, Weliba taasay awowayaashiin igu caayeen, wayna igu xadgudbeen. 28 Waayo, markaan dalka keenay, kaasoo aan gacanta ugu qaaday oo aan ugu dhaartay inaan iyaga siin doono ayay arkeen kur kasta oo dheer iyo geed kasta oo weyn, oo waxay halkaas ku bixiyeen allabaryadoodii, oo qurbaankoodii iga cadhaysiiyey ayay halkaas ku soo bixiyeen, oo weliba halkaasay caraftoodii udgoonayd ku sameeyeen, oo halkaasay qurbaannadoodii cabniinka ku daadiyeen. 29 Markaasaan ku idhi, Meesha sare oo aad tagtaan maxay tahay? Ilaa maantadan la joogo waxaa magaceeda la yidhaahdaa [a]Baamaah.

Xukun Iyo Dib U Soo Celin

30 Sidaas daraaddeed waxaad reer binu Israa'iil ku tidhaahdaa, Sayidka Rabbiga ahu wuxuu leeyahay, Ma waxaad isu nijaasaysaan sidii awowayaashiin isu nijaaseeyeen oo kale? Oo ma waxaad ka daba gashaan waxyaalahooda karaahiyada ah sida naag ninkeed ka dhillowda oo kale? 31 Oo markaad hadiyadihiinna bixisaan, oo aad wiilashiinna dabka dhex marsiisaan ma waxaad isku nijaasaysaan sanamyadiinna oo dhan ilaa maantadan la joogo? Haddaba reer binu Israa'iilow, miyaan maqlaa waxaad i weyddiisanaysaan? Sayidka Rabbiga ahu wuxuu leeyahay, Noloshaydaan ku dhaartaye, Maqli maayo waxaad i weyddiisataan. 32 Oo waxa maankiinna soo galaana innaba ma ay ahaan doonaan, waayo, waxaad isku tidhaahdaan, Annagu waxaannu noqon doonnaa sida quruumaha kale, iyo sida qolooyinka waddammada deggan oo kale si aannu qoryo iyo dhagax ugu adeegno. 33 Sayidka Rabbiga ahu wuxuu leeyahay, Noloshaydaan ku dhaartaye, hubaal boqor baan idiinku ahaan doonaa gacan xoog badan iyo dhudhun fidsan iyo cadho la soo daadshay, 34 oo dadyowga waan idinka soo dhex bixin doonaa, oo waddammadii aad ku kala dhex firidheen waxaan idinkaga soo ururin doonaa gacan xoog badan iyo dhudhun fidsan iyo cadho la soo daadshay. 35 Oo waxaan idiin keeni doonaa cidlada dadyowga, oo halkaasaan fool ka fool idinkula xaajoon doonaa. 36 Sidii aan awowayaashiin cidladii dalka Masar ugula xaajooday oo kale ayaan idinkana idiinla xaajoon doonaa, ayaa Sayidka Rabbiga ahu leeyahay. 37 Oo waxaan idin soo marin doonaa usha hoosteeda, oo axdigaan idinku xidhi doonaa. 38 Markaasaan idinka dhex sooci doonaa caasiyiinta iyo kuwa igu xadgudba. Waxaan iyaga ka soo bixin doonaa dalka ay qariib ahaanta u joogaan, laakiinse dalka reer binu Israa'iil sooma ay geli doonaan, oo idinkuna waxaad ogaan doontaan inaan anigu Rabbiga ahay. 39 Reer binu Israa'iilow, Sayidka Rabbiga ahu wuxuu leeyahay, Haddeydnan i dhegaysanayn, taga, oo haddan iyo hadda dabadeedba midkiin kastaaba sanamyadiisa ha u adeego, laakiinse waa inaydaan magacayga quduuska ah mar dambe nijaas kaga dhigin hadiyadihiinna iyo sanamyadiinna. 40 Waayo, Sayidka Rabbiga ahu wuxuu leeyahay, Reer binu Israa'iil oo dhan kulligoodba dalka dhexdiisa ayay iigu adeegi doonaan buurtayda quduuska ah taasoo ah buurta dheer ee dalka reer binu Israa'iil, oo halkaasaan iyaga ku aqbali doonaa. Oo halkaasaan qurbaannadiinna iyo inta ugu horraysa ee hadiyadihiinna, iyo waxyaalihiinna quduuska ah oo dhanba idinku weyddiisan doonaa. 41 Oo sida caraf udgoon baan idiin aqbali doonaa markaan dadyowga idinka soo dhex bixiyo oo aan waddammadii aad ku kala dhex firidheen idinka soo ururiyo, oo dhexdiinnaan quduus ku ahaan doonaa quruumaha hortooda. 42 Oo waxaad ogaan doontaan inaan anigu Rabbiga ahay, markaan idin dhex keeno dalka reer binu Israa'iil, kaasoo ah dalkii aan gacanta ugu qaaday awowayaashiin oo aan ugu dhaartay inaan iyaga siinayo. 43 Oo halkaasaad jidadkiinnii iyo falimihiinnii aad isku nijaasayseenba ku soo xusuusan doontaan, oo waxyaalihiinnii sharka ahaa ee aad samayseen oo dhan ayaad isu nici doontaan. 44 Sayidka Rabbiga ahu wuxuu leeyahay, Reer binu Israa'iilow, iyadoo aan ahayn sidii jidadkiinnii sharka ahaa ay ahaayeen, amase sidii falimihiinnii qudhunka ahaa ay ahaayeen, markaan magacayga aawadiis idiinku shaqeeyo ayaad ogaan doontaan inaan anigu Rabbiga ahay.

Wax Sii Sheegid Ka Gees Ah Dhanka Koonfureed

45 Oo haddana Eraygii Rabbiga ayaa ii yimid isagoo leh, 46 Wiilka Aadamow, wejigaaga xagga koonfureed u sii jeedi, oo hadal xagga koonfureed ka gees ah ku hadal, oo waxaad wax ka sii sheegtaa kaynta duurka xagga koonfureed ku taal; 47 oo waxaad kaynta koonfureed ku tidhaahdaa, Rabbiga eraygiisa maqal: Sayidka Rabbiga ahu wuxuu leeyahay, Bal ogow, dab baan kugu dhex shidi doonaa, oo wuxuu wada baabbi'in doonaa geed kasta oo qoyan oo dhexdaada ku yaal iyo geed kasta oo qallalanba. Ololka ololayana lama demin doono, oo weji kasta oo tan iyo xagga koonfureed iyo ilaa xagga woqooyi joogaana isaguu ku guban doonaa. 48 Oo binu-aadmiga oo dhammuna waxay wada arki doonaan in aniga Rabbiga ahu aan dabkaas shiday, oo innaba lama demin doono. 49 Markaasaan idhi, Sayidow, Rabbiyow, waxay iga yidhaahdaan, Sow isagu masaalooyin kuma hadlin?

Rebellious Israel Purged

20 In the seventh year, in the fifth month on the tenth day, some of the elders of Israel came to inquire(A) of the Lord, and they sat down in front of me.(B)

Then the word of the Lord came to me: “Son of man, speak to the elders(C) of Israel and say to them, ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: Have you come to inquire(D) of me? As surely as I live, I will not let you inquire of me, declares the Sovereign Lord.(E)

“Will you judge them? Will you judge them, son of man? Then confront them with the detestable practices of their ancestors(F) and say to them: ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: On the day I chose(G) Israel, I swore with uplifted hand(H) to the descendants of Jacob and revealed myself to them in Egypt. With uplifted hand I said to them, “I am the Lord your God.(I) On that day I swore(J) to them that I would bring them out of Egypt into a land I had searched out for them, a land flowing with milk and honey,(K) the most beautiful of all lands.(L) And I said to them, “Each of you, get rid of the vile images(M) you have set your eyes on, and do not defile yourselves with the idols(N) of Egypt. I am the Lord your God.(O)

“‘But they rebelled against me and would not listen to me;(P) they did not get rid of the vile images they had set their eyes on, nor did they forsake the idols of Egypt.(Q) So I said I would pour out my wrath on them and spend my anger against them in Egypt.(R) But for the sake of my name, I brought them out of Egypt.(S) I did it to keep my name from being profaned(T) in the eyes of the nations among whom they lived and in whose sight I had revealed myself to the Israelites. 10 Therefore I led them out of Egypt and brought them into the wilderness.(U) 11 I gave them my decrees and made known to them my laws, by which the person who obeys them will live.(V) 12 Also I gave them my Sabbaths(W) as a sign(X) between us,(Y) so they would know that I the Lord made them holy.(Z)

13 “‘Yet the people of Israel rebelled(AA) against me in the wilderness. They did not follow my decrees but rejected my laws(AB)—by which the person who obeys them will live—and they utterly desecrated my Sabbaths.(AC) So I said I would pour out my wrath(AD) on them and destroy(AE) them in the wilderness.(AF) 14 But for the sake of my name I did what would keep it from being profaned(AG) in the eyes of the nations in whose sight I had brought them out.(AH) 15 Also with uplifted hand I swore(AI) to them in the wilderness that I would not bring them into the land I had given them—a land flowing with milk and honey, the most beautiful of all lands(AJ) 16 because they rejected my laws(AK) and did not follow my decrees and desecrated my Sabbaths. For their hearts(AL) were devoted to their idols.(AM) 17 Yet I looked on them with pity and did not destroy(AN) them or put an end to them in the wilderness. 18 I said to their children in the wilderness, “Do not follow the statutes of your parents(AO) or keep their laws or defile yourselves(AP) with their idols. 19 I am the Lord your God;(AQ) follow my decrees and be careful to keep my laws.(AR) 20 Keep my Sabbaths(AS) holy, that they may be a sign(AT) between us. Then you will know that I am the Lord your God.(AU)

21 “‘But the children rebelled against me: They did not follow my decrees, they were not careful to keep my laws,(AV) of which I said, “The person who obeys them will live by them,” and they desecrated my Sabbaths. So I said I would pour out my wrath on them and spend my anger(AW) against them in the wilderness.(AX) 22 But I withheld(AY) my hand, and for the sake of my name(AZ) I did what would keep it from being profaned in the eyes of the nations in whose sight I had brought them out. 23 Also with uplifted hand I swore to them in the wilderness that I would disperse them among the nations and scatter(BA) them through the countries, 24 because they had not obeyed my laws but had rejected my decrees(BB) and desecrated my Sabbaths,(BC) and their eyes lusted after(BD) their parents’ idols.(BE) 25 So I gave(BF) them other statutes that were not good and laws through which they could not live;(BG) 26 I defiled them through their gifts—the sacrifice(BH) of every firstborn—that I might fill them with horror so they would know that I am the Lord.(BI)

27 “Therefore, son of man, speak to the people of Israel and say to them, ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: In this also your ancestors(BJ) blasphemed(BK) me by being unfaithful to me:(BL) 28 When I brought them into the land(BM) I had sworn to give them and they saw any high hill or any leafy tree, there they offered their sacrifices, made offerings that aroused my anger, presented their fragrant incense and poured out their drink offerings.(BN) 29 Then I said to them: What is this high place(BO) you go to?’” (It is called Bamah[a] to this day.)

Rebellious Israel Renewed

30 “Therefore say to the Israelites: ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: Will you defile yourselves(BP) the way your ancestors did and lust after their vile images?(BQ) 31 When you offer your gifts—the sacrifice of your children(BR) in the fire—you continue to defile yourselves with all your idols to this day. Am I to let you inquire of me, you Israelites? As surely as I live, declares the Sovereign Lord, I will not let you inquire of me.(BS)

32 “‘You say, “We want to be like the nations, like the peoples of the world, who serve wood and stone.” But what you have in mind will never happen. 33 As surely as I live, declares the Sovereign Lord, I will reign over you with a mighty hand and an outstretched arm(BT) and with outpoured wrath.(BU) 34 I will bring you from the nations(BV) and gather(BW) you from the countries where you have been scattered—with a mighty hand(BX) and an outstretched arm and with outpoured wrath.(BY) 35 I will bring you into the wilderness(BZ) of the nations and there, face to face, I will execute judgment(CA) upon you. 36 As I judged your ancestors in the wilderness of the land of Egypt, so I will judge you, declares the Sovereign Lord.(CB) 37 I will take note of you as you pass under my rod,(CC) and I will bring you into the bond of the covenant.(CD) 38 I will purge(CE) you of those who revolt and rebel against me. Although I will bring them out of the land where they are living, yet they will not enter the land of Israel. Then you will know that I am the Lord.(CF)

39 “‘As for you, people of Israel, this is what the Sovereign Lord says: Go and serve your idols,(CG) every one of you! But afterward you will surely listen to me and no longer profane my holy name(CH) with your gifts and idols.(CI) 40 For on my holy mountain, the high mountain of Israel,(CJ) declares the Sovereign Lord, there in the land all the people of Israel will serve me, and there I will accept them. There I will require your offerings(CK) and your choice gifts,[b] along with all your holy sacrifices.(CL) 41 I will accept you as fragrant incense(CM) when I bring you out from the nations and gather(CN) you from the countries where you have been scattered, and I will be proved holy(CO) through you in the sight of the nations.(CP) 42 Then you will know that I am the Lord,(CQ) when I bring you into the land of Israel,(CR) the land I had sworn with uplifted hand to give to your ancestors.(CS) 43 There you will remember your conduct(CT) and all the actions by which you have defiled yourselves, and you will loathe yourselves(CU) for all the evil you have done.(CV) 44 You will know that I am the Lord, when I deal with you for my name’s sake(CW) and not according to your evil ways and your corrupt practices, you people of Israel, declares the Sovereign Lord.(CX)’”

Prophecy Against the South

45 The word of the Lord came to me: 46 “Son of man, set your face toward(CY) the south; preach against the south and prophesy against(CZ) the forest of the southland.(DA) 47 Say to the southern forest:(DB) ‘Hear the word of the Lord. This is what the Sovereign Lord says: I am about to set fire to you, and it will consume(DC) all your trees, both green and dry. The blazing flame will not be quenched, and every face from south to north(DD) will be scorched by it.(DE) 48 Everyone will see that I the Lord have kindled it; it will not be quenched.(DF)’”

49 Then I said, “Sovereign Lord,(DG) they are saying of me, ‘Isn’t he just telling parables?(DH)’”[c]
