Sanam Yaal Macbudka

Oo sannaddii lixaad, bisheedii lixaad, maalinteedii shanaad intii aan gurigaygii dhex fadhiyeyey, oo ay odayaashii dalka Yahuudah i hor fadhiyeyeen ayaa gacantii Sayidka Rabbiga ahu igu soo kor degtay. Markaasaa intaan wax fiirinayay waxaa ii muuqday wax muuqashadiisu u ekayd dab oo kale, oo qaarkiisa dambe wuxuu u ekaa dab, oo qaarkiisa horena wuxuu u ekaa dhuxul cadaatay oo dhalaalaysa. Oo isna wax gacan u eg buu igu soo taagay, oo wuxuu igu dhegay timahayga, oo ruuxii ayaa dhulka iyo samada dhexdooda kor iigu qaaday, oo waxyaalihii Ilaah i tusay wuxuu iigu keenay Yeruusaalem, iyo iridda gudaha ku taal albaabkeeda xagga woqooyi u sii jeeda, oo halkaas waxaa yiil kursigii sanamkii hinaasada, kaasoo hinaasada kiciya. Oo bal eeg, ammaantii Ilaaha reer binu Israa'iil ayaa halkaas joogtay, oo waxay u ekayd sidii muuqashadii aan bannaanka ku arkay oo kale. Oo markaasuu igu yidhi, Wiilka Aadamow, bal haatan indhaha xagga woqooyi ku taag. Markaasaan indhaha kor ugu taagay jidkii xagga woqooyi, oo waxaan xaggii woqooyi iriddii meeshii allabariga ku arkay sanamkan hinaasada ee iridda ka taagan. Oo wuxuu kaloo igu sii yidhi, Wiilka Aadamow, ma u jeedda waxa ay samaynayaan, xataa waxyaalaha waaweyn oo karaahiyada ah ee ay reer binu Israa'iil halkan ku sameeyaan si aan meeshayda quduuska ah uga sii fogaado? Laakiinse bal haddana waxaad arki doontaa waxyaalo karaahiyo ah oo tan ka sii weyn. Oo haddana wuxuu i geeyey albaabkii barxadda, oo markaan wax fiiriyey waxaan arkay god derbiga ku dhex yaal. Markaasuu igu yidhi, Wiilka Aadamow, bal haddana derbiga qod, oo markaan derbigii qoday waxaan arkay albaab. Oo isna wuxuu igu yidhi, Sii gal, oo bal fiiri waxyaalaha karaahiyada iyo sharka ah oo ay halkan ku samaynayaan. 10 Sidaas daraaddeed waan galay oo waxaan arkay cayn kasta oo wax gurguurta ah, iyo xayawaan karaahiyo ah, iyo sanamyadii reer binu Israa'iil oo dhan oo lagu taswiiray derbiga hareerihiisa oo dhan. 11 Oo waxaa iyagii halkaas ku hor taagnaa toddobaatan nin oo odayaashii reer binu Israa'iil ka mid ahaa, oo waxaa dhexdooda taagnaa Ya'asanyaah ina Shaafaan, oo ninkood kastaaba wuxuu gacanta ku haystay idankiisii, oo waxaa kor uga baxayay caraftii qiiqii fooxa. 12 Markaasuu igu yidhi, Wiilka Aadamow, ma aragtay waxa odayaashii reer binu Israa'iil ay gudcurka ku sameeyaan, oo ninkood kastaaba uu qolladihiisa taswiirta ku sameeyo? Waayo, waxay isyidhaahdaan, Rabbigu inooma jeedo, waayo, Rabbigu dhulkuu ka tegey. 13 Oo weliba wuxuu igu sii yidhi, Bal haddana waxaad arki doontaa waxyaalo kale oo karaahiyo ah oo kuwan ka sii weyn. 14 Markaasuu i geeyey albaabkii iriddii gurigii Rabbiga oo xagga woqooyi u sii jeeday, oo waxaan halkaas ku arkay naagaha fadhiya oo sanamkii Tammuus u ooyaya. 15 Markaasuu igu yidhi, Waxaas ma aragtay, Wiilka Aadamow? Bal haddana waxaad arki doontaa waxyaalo kale oo karaahiyo ah oo kuwan ka sii weyn. 16 Oo haddana wuxuu i geeyey barxaddii hoose oo gurigii Rabbiga, oo bal eeg, iriddii macbudkii Rabbiga, meel u dhaxaysa balbalada iyo meeshii allabariga waxaa taagnaa rag shan iyo labaatan ku dhow iyagoo dhabarka macbudkii Rabbiga u sii jeediyey, wejigana xagga bari u sii jeediyey, oo waxay caabudayeen qorraxda bari jirta. 17 Markaasuu igu yidhi, Waxan ma aragtay, Wiilka Aadamow? Tanu ma wax dadka Yahuudah u fudud baa inay sameeyaan waxyaalaha karaahiyada ah ee ay halkan ku samaynayaan? Waayo, dalkii dulmi bay ka buuxiyeen oo mar kalay u noqdeen inay iga cadhaysiiyaan, oo bal eeg, laantii ayay sanka u dhoweeyeen. 18 Oo sidaas daraaddeed weli cadhaan ku shaqayn doonaa, indhahaygu uma tudhi doonaan, oo innaba uma aan nixi doono, oo in kastoo ay dhegahaygu qaylo weyn ugu qayliyaanna innaba ma aan maqli doono.

Idolatry in the Temple

In the sixth year, in the sixth month on the fifth day, while I was sitting in my house and the elders(A) of Judah were sitting before(B) me, the hand of the Sovereign Lord came on me there.(C) I looked, and I saw a figure like that of a man.[a] From what appeared to be his waist down he was like fire, and from there up his appearance was as bright as glowing metal.(D) He stretched out what looked like a hand(E) and took me by the hair of my head. The Spirit lifted me up(F) between earth and heaven and in visions(G) of God he took me to Jerusalem, to the entrance of the north gate of the inner court,(H) where the idol that provokes to jealousy(I) stood. And there before me was the glory(J) of the God of Israel, as in the vision I had seen in the plain.(K)

Then he said to me, “Son of man, look toward the north.” So I looked, and in the entrance north of the gate of the altar I saw this idol(L) of jealousy.

And he said to me, “Son of man, do you see what they are doing—the utterly detestable(M) things the Israelites are doing here, things that will drive me far from my sanctuary?(N) But you will see things that are even more detestable.”

Then he brought me to the entrance to the court. I looked, and I saw a hole in the wall. He said to me, “Son of man, now dig into the wall.” So I dug into the wall and saw a doorway there.

And he said to me, “Go in and see the wicked and detestable things they are doing here.” 10 So I went in and looked, and I saw portrayed all over the walls(O) all kinds of crawling things and unclean(P) animals and all the idols of Israel.(Q) 11 In front of them stood seventy elders(R) of Israel, and Jaazaniah son of Shaphan was standing among them. Each had a censer(S) in his hand, and a fragrant cloud of incense(T) was rising.(U)

12 He said to me, “Son of man, have you seen what the elders of Israel are doing in the darkness,(V) each at the shrine of his own idol? They say, ‘The Lord does not see(W) us; the Lord has forsaken the land.’” 13 Again, he said, “You will see them doing things that are even more detestable.”

14 Then he brought me to the entrance of the north gate of the house of the Lord, and I saw women sitting there, mourning the god Tammuz.(X) 15 He said to me, “Do you see this, son of man? You will see things that are even more detestable than this.”

16 He then brought me into the inner court(Y) of the house of the Lord, and there at the entrance to the temple, between the portico and the altar,(Z) were about twenty-five men. With their backs toward the temple of the Lord and their faces toward the east, they were bowing down to the sun(AA) in the east.(AB)

17 He said to me, “Have you seen this, son of man? Is it a trivial matter for the people of Judah to do the detestable things(AC) they are doing here? Must they also fill the land with violence(AD) and continually arouse my anger?(AE) Look at them putting the branch to their nose! 18 Therefore I will deal with them in anger;(AF) I will not look on them with pity(AG) or spare them. Although they shout in my ears, I will not listen(AH) to them.”
