¹Now these are the words of the letter that Jeremiah the prophet sent from Jerusalem unto the residue of the elders which were carried away captives, and to the priests, and to the prophets, and to all the people whom Nebuchadnezzar had carried away captive from Jerusalem to Babylon;

¹Haddaba kuwanu waa erayadii warqaddii uu Nebi Yeremyaah Yeruusaalem uga diray kuwii hadhay ee waayeelladii maxaabiisnimadii iyo wadaaddadii, iyo nebiyadii, iyo dadkii uu Nebukadnesar Yeruusaalem maxaabiis ahaanta uga kaxaystay oo uu Baabuloon la tegey oo dhan.

²(After that Jeconiah the king, and the queen, and the eunuchs, the princes of Judah and Jerusalem, and the carpenters, and the smiths, were departed from Jerusalem;)

²(Taasu waxay ahayd markii Boqor Yekonyaah, iyo boqoraddii hooyadiis ahayd, iyo bohommadii, iyo amiirradii dadka Yahuudah iyo Yeruusaalem, iyo saanacyadii, iyo birtumayaashiiba ay Yeruusaalem ka tageen dabadeed.)

³By the hand of Elasah the son of Shaphan, and Gemariah the son of Hilkiah, (whom Zedekiah king of Judah sent unto Babylon to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon) saying,

³Oo wuxuu ugu sii dhiibay gacantii Elcaasaah ina Shaafaan, iyo Gemaryaah ina Xilqiyaah (oo uu boqorkii dalka Yahuudah oo Sidqiyaah ahaa uu u diray Baabuloon iyo ilaa Nebukadnesar oo ahaa boqorkii Baabuloon,) isagoo leh,

⁴Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, unto all that are carried away captives, whom I have caused to be carried away from Jerusalem unto Babylon;

⁴Rabbiga ciidammada oo ah Ilaaha reer binu Israa'iil wuxuu leeyahay, kuwii maxaabiis ahaanta loo kaxaystay oo dhan, oo aan ka yeelay in Yeruusaalem laga kaxaysto oo Baabuloon lala tago, waxaan idinku leeyahay,

⁵Build ye houses, and dwell in them; and plant gardens, and eat the fruit of them;

⁵Guryo dhista, oo ku hoyda, oo beero beerta, oo midhahoodana cuna.

⁶Take ye wives, and beget sons and daughters; and take wives for your sons, and give your daughters to husbands, that they may bear sons and daughters; that ye may be increased there, and not diminished.

⁶Naago guursada, oo wiilal iyo gabdho dhala, oo wiilashiinnana naago u guuriya, oo gabdhihiinnana niman siiya, si ay iyaguna wiilal iyo gabdho u dhalaan, oo halkaasna ku tarma oo ha yaraanina.

⁷And seek the peace of the city whither I have caused you to be carried away captives, and pray unto the LORD for it: for in the peace thereof shall ye have peace.

⁷Oo waxaad nabad u doondoontaan magaaladii aan idinka yeelay in laydiin kaxaysto idinkoo maxaabiis ah, oo iyada Rabbiga u barya, waayo, idinku nabaddeeda ayaad nabad ku heli doontaan.

⁸For thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Let not your prophets and your diviners, that be in the midst of you, deceive you, neither hearken to your dreams which ye cause to be dreamed.

⁸Waayo, Rabbiga ciidammada oo ah Ilaaha reer binu Israa'iil wuxuu leeyahay, Nebiyadiinna iyo waxsheegyadiinna idin dhex joogaa yaanay idin khiyaanayn, oo idinku innaba ha dhegaysanina riyooyinkiinna aad ku riyootaan.

⁹For they prophesy falsely unto you in my name: I have not sent them, saith the LORD.

⁹Waayo, magacaygay wax been ah idiinku sii sheegaan, laakiinse Rabbigu wuxuu leeyahay, Anigu iyaga sooma aan dirin.

¹⁰For thus saith the LORD, That after seventy years be accomplished at Babylon I will visit you, and perform my good word toward you, in causing you to return to this place.

¹⁰Waayo, Rabbigu wuxuu leeyahay, Markii toddobaatan sannadood Baabuloon loo dhammeeyo dabadeed ayaan idin soo booqon doonaa, oo waxaan idiin oofin doonaa eraygaygii wanaagsanaa, oo halkan dib baan idiinku soo celin doonaa.

¹¹For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.

¹¹Waayo, Rabbigu wuxuu leeyahay, Anigu waan garanayaa fikirrada aan idiinku fikiro, waana fikirro nabadeed, oo ma aha kuwa masiibeed, si aan ugudambaystiinna rajo idiin siiyo.

¹²Then shall ye call upon me, and ye shall go and pray unto me, and I will hearken unto you.

¹²Oo markaasaad ii yeedhan doontaan, waanad i soo baryi doontaan, oo aniguna waan idin maqli doonaa.

¹³And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart.

¹³Oo waad i doondooni doontaan, waanad i heli doontaan markaad qalbigiinna oo dhan igu doondoontaan.

¹⁴And I will be found of you, saith the LORD: and I will turn away your captivity, and I will gather you from all the nations, and from all the places whither I have driven you, saith the LORD; and I will bring you again into the place whence I caused you to be carried away captive.

¹⁴Oo Rabbigu wuxuu leeyahay, Waad i heli doontaan, oo maxaabiisahaantiinnana waan idinka celin doonaa, oo waxaan idinka soo wada ururin doonaa quruumaha oo dhan iyo meelihii aan idin kexeeyey oo dhan ayaa Rabbigu leeyahay, oo waxaan idinku soo celin doonaa meeshii aan ka dhigay in maxaabiis ahaan laydinkaga kaxaysto.

¹⁵Because ye have said, The LORD hath raised us up prophets in Babylon;

¹⁵Maxaa yeelay, idinku waxaad tidhaahdeen, Rabbiga ayaa Baabuloon nebiyo nooga dhex kiciyey.

¹⁶Know that thus saith the LORD of the king that sitteth upon the throne of David, and of all the people that dwelleth in this city, and of your brethren that are not gone forth with you into captivity;

¹⁶Rabbigu wuxuu ka leeyahay boqorka carshigii Daa'uud ku fadhiya iyo dadka magaaladan deggan oo dhan, Walaalihiinnii aan maxaabiis ahaan laydiinla kaxaysan,

¹⁷Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Behold, I will send upon them the sword, the famine, and the pestilence, and will make them like vile figs, that cannot be eaten, they are so evil.

¹⁷Rabbiga ciidammadu wuxuu ka leeyahay, Bal ogaada, waxaan korkooda ku soo dayn doonaa seef, iyo abaar, iyo belaayo, oo waxaan iyaga ka dhigi doonaa sida midho berde oo qudhmay oo xumaantooda aawadeed aan innaba la cuni karin.

¹⁸And I will persecute them with the sword, with the famine, and with the pestilence, and will deliver them to be removed to all the kingdoms of the earth, to be a curse, and an astonishment, and an hissing, and a reproach, among all the nations whither I have driven them:

¹⁸Oo waxaan iyaga ku eryan doonaa seef iyo abaar iyo belaayo, oo waxaan ka dhigi doonaa inay boqortooyooyinka dunida oo dhan ku dhex rogrogmadaan hor iyo dib, oo ay inkaar iyo wax laga yaabo oo lagu foodhyo, iyo cay ku dhex noqdaan quruumaha aan u kexeeyey oo dhan,

¹⁹Because they have not hearkened to my words, saith the LORD, which I sent unto them by my servants the prophets, rising up early and sending them; but ye would not hear, saith the LORD.

¹⁹maxaa yeelay, iyagu ma ay dhegaysan erayadaydii aan iyaga ugu soo dhiibay nebiyadii addoommadayda ahaa, anigoo goor wanaagsan soo diraya, laakiinse waad maqli weydeen, ayaa Rabbigu leeyahay.

²⁰Hear ye therefore the word of the LORD, all ye of the captivity, whom I have sent from Jerusalem to Babylon:

²⁰Haddaba maxaabiistii aan Yeruusaalem ka diray oo aan Baabuloon u kexeeyey, bal erayga Rabbiga maqla.

²¹Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, of Ahab the son of Kolaiah, and of Zedekiah the son of Maaseiah, which prophesy a lie unto you in my name; Behold, I will deliver them into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon; and he shall slay them before your eyes;

²¹Rabbiga ciidammada oo ah Ilaaha reer binu Israa'iil wuxuu leeyahay, Axaab ina Qoolaayaah iyo Sidqiyaah ina Macaseeyaah oo magacayga been idiinku sii sheega, bal ogaada iyaga waxaan gelin doonaa gacanta Nebukadresar oo ah boqorka Baabuloon, oo isna indhihiinna hortooda ayuu iyaga ku dili doonaa.

²²And of them shall be taken up a curse by all the captivity of Judah which are in Babylon, saying, The LORD make thee like Zedekiah and like Ahab, whom the king of Babylon roasted in the fire;

²²Oo maxaabiista dadka Yahuudah oo Baabuloon joogta oo dhammu way habaartami doonaan iyagoo leh, Rabbigu ha kaa dhigo sidii Sidqiyaah iyo sidii Axaab ee uu boqorka Baabuloon dabka ku dubay oo kale,

²³Because they have committed villany in Israel, and have committed adultery with their neighbours' wives, and have spoken lying words in my name, which I have not commanded them; even I know, and am a witness, saith the LORD.

²³maxaa yeelay, nacasnimo ayay dalka Israa'iil ku dhex sameeyeen, oo weliba naagihii derisyadooda ayay ka sinaysteen, oo erayo been ah oo aanan iyaga ku soo amrin ayay magacayga ku hadleen. Anigu kan og baan ahay, oo markhaati baan ka ahay, ayaa Rabbigu leeyahay.

²⁴Thus shalt thou also speak to Shemaiah the Nehelamite, saying,

²⁴Oo weliba Shemacyaah oo ah reer Nexlaamiina waxaad ku tidhaahdaa,

²⁵Thus speaketh the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, saying, Because thou hast sent letters in thy name unto all the people that are at Jerusalem, and to Zephaniah the son of Maaseiah the priest, and to all the priests, saying,

²⁵Rabbiga ciidammada oo ah Ilaaha reer binu Israa'iil wuxuu leeyahay, Adigu waxaad warqado magacaaga ugu soo dirtay dadka Yeruusaalem jooga oo dhan, iyo Sefanyaah ina Macaseeyaah oo wadaadka ah, iyo wadaaddada oo dhanba,

²⁶The LORD hath made thee priest in the stead of Jehoiada the priest, that ye should be officers in the house of the LORD, for every man that is mad, and maketh himself a prophet, that thou shouldest put him in prison, and in the stocks.

²⁶oo waxaad tidhi, Rabbigu wadaad buu kaaga dhigay meeshii wadaadkii Yehooyaadaac inaad saraakiil u noqotaan guriga Rabbiga iyo inaad xabsi ku riddid oo aad silsilado ku xidhid nin kasta oo waalan oo nebi iska dhigaba.

²⁷Now therefore why hast thou not reproved Jeremiah of Anathoth, which maketh himself a prophet to you?

²⁷Haddaba bal maxaad u canaanan weyday Yeremyaah oo ah reer Canaatood oo nebi isaga kaa dhigaya?

²⁸For therefore he sent unto us in Babylon, saying, This captivity is long: build ye houses, and dwell in them; and plant gardens, and eat the fruit of them.

²⁸Waayo, isagu cid buu noogu soo diray Baabuloon, oo wuxuu yidhi, Maxaabiisnimadiinnu waa muddo dheer, haddaba guryo dhista, oo ku hoyda, oo beero beerta, oo midhahoodana cuna.

²⁹And Zephaniah the priest read this letter in the ears of Jeremiah the prophet.

²⁹Oo wadaadkii Sefanyaah ahaa ayaa warqaddaas ku akhriyey Nebi Yeremyaah hortiisa.

³⁰Then came the word of the LORD unto Jeremiah, saying,

³⁰Markaasaa eraygii Rabbigu ku soo degay Yeremyaah, isagoo leh,

³¹Send to all them of the captivity, saying, Thus saith the LORD concerning Shemaiah the Nehelamite; Because that Shemaiah hath prophesied unto you, and I sent him not, and he caused you to trust in a lie:

³¹Kuwa maxaabiista ah oo dhan u cid dir oo waxaad ku tidhaahdaa, Rabbigu wuxuu Shemacyaah oo ah reer Nexlaamii ka leeyahay, Shemacyaah wax buu idiin sii sheegay, aniguse sooma aan dirin, oo wuxuu idinka dhigay inaad been isku hallaysaan,sidaas daraaddeed Rabbigu wuxuu leeyahay, Bal ogaada, Shemacyaah oo ah reer Nexlaamii iyo farcankiisaba waan ciqaabi doonaa. Isagu ma uu yeelan doono nin qudha oo dadkan dhex deggan, oo wanaagga aan dadkayga u samayn doonona isagu ma uu arki doono, maxaa yeelay, wuxuu ku hadlay caasinimo Rabbiga ka gees ah, ayaa Rabbigu leeyahay.

³²Therefore thus saith the LORD; Behold, I will punish Shemaiah the Nehelamite, and his seed: he shall not have a man to dwell among this people; neither shall he behold the good that I will do for my people, saith the LORD; because he hath taught rebellion against the LORD.

³²sidaas daraaddeed Rabbigu wuxuu leeyahay, Bal ogaada, Shemacyaah oo ah reer Nexlaamii iyo farcankiisaba waan ciqaabi doonaa. Isagu ma uu yeelan doono nin qudha oo dadkan dhex deggan, oo wanaagga aan dadkayga u samayn doonona isagu ma uu arki doono, maxaa yeelay, wuxuu ku hadlay caasinimo Rabbiga ka gees ah, ayaa Rabbigu leeyahay.
