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.

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)

I saw the Lord standing upon the altar: and he said, Smite the lintel of the door, that the posts may shake: and cut them in the head, all of them; and I will slay the last of them with the sword: he that fleeth of them shall not flee away, and he that escapeth of them shall not be delivered.

Though they dig into hell, thence shall mine hand take them; though they climb up to heaven, thence will I bring them down:

And though they hide themselves in the top of Carmel, I will search and take them out thence; and though they be hid from my sight in the bottom of the sea, thence will I command the serpent, and he shall bite them:

And though they go into captivity before their enemies, thence will I command the sword, and it shall slay them: and I will set mine eyes upon them for evil, and not for good.

And the Lord God of hosts is he that toucheth the land, and it shall melt, and all that dwell therein shall mourn: and it shall rise up wholly like a flood; and shall be drowned, as by the flood of Egypt.

It is he that buildeth his stories in the heaven, and hath founded his troop in the earth; he that calleth for the waters of the sea, and poureth them out upon the face of the earth: The Lord is his name.

Are ye not as children of the Ethiopians unto me, O children of Israel? saith the Lord. Have not I brought up Israel out of the land of Egypt? and the Philistines from Caphtor, and the Syrians from Kir?

Behold, the eyes of the Lord God are upon the sinful kingdom, and I will destroy it from off the face of the earth; saving that I will not utterly destroy the house of Jacob, saith the Lord.

For, lo, I will command, and I will sift the house of Israel among all nations, like as corn is sifted in a sieve, yet shall not the least grain fall upon the earth.

10 All the sinners of my people shall die by the sword, which say, The evil shall not overtake nor prevent us.

11 In that day will I raise up the tabernacle of David that is fallen, and close up the breaches thereof; and I will raise up his ruins, and I will build it as in the days of old:

12 That they may possess the remnant of Edom, and of all the heathen, which are called by my name, saith the Lord that doeth this.

13 Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that the plowman shall overtake the reaper, and the treader of grapes him that soweth seed; and the mountains shall drop sweet wine, and all the hills shall melt.

14 And I will bring again the captivity of my people of Israel, and they shall build the waste cities, and inhabit them; and they shall plant vineyards, and drink the wine thereof; they shall also make gardens, and eat the fruit of them.

15 And I will plant them upon their land, and they shall no more be pulled up out of their land which I have given them, saith the Lord thy God.
