¹In the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, came this word to Jeremiah from Yahweh, saying,

¹Bilowgii boqornimadii Yehooyaaqiim ina Yoosiyaah oo boqor ka ahaa dalka Yahuudah ayaa erayganu Yeremyaah xagga Rabbiga uga yimid, isagoo leh,

²Thus says Yahweh to me: Make bonds and bars, and put them on your neck;

²Rabbigu wuxuu igu leeyahay, Waxaad samaysataa xadhko iyo harqood, oo waxaad kor saartaa qoortaada.

³and send them to the king of Edom, and to the king of Moab, and to the king of the children of Ammon, and to the king of Tyre, and to the king of Sidon, by the hand of the messengers who come to Jerusalem to Zedekiah king of Judah;

³Oo waxaad iyaga ugu sii dhiibtaa boqorka dalka Edom, iyo boqorka dalka Moo'aab, iyo boqorka reer Cammoon, iyo boqorka Turos, iyo boqorka Siidoon gacanta wargeeyayaasha Yeruusaalem ugu yimid boqorka dalka Yahuudah oo Sidqiyaah ah.

⁴and give them a command to their masters, saying, Thus says Yahweh of Armies, the God of Israel, You shall tell your masters:

⁴Oo waxaad iyaga ku amartaa inay sayidyadooda ku yidhaahdaan, Rabbiga ciidammada oo ah Ilaaha reer binu Israa'iil wuxuu leeyahay, Waxaad sayidyadiinna ku tidhaahdaan,

⁵I have made the earth, the men and the animals that are on the surface of the earth, by my great power and by my outstretched arm; and I give it to whom it seems right to me.

⁵Anigu dhulka, iyo dadka iyo xayawaanka dhulka joogaba waxaan ku sameeyey xooggayga weyn iyo gacantayda fidsan, oo waxaan siiyaa kii ila qumman.

⁶Now have I given all these lands into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, my servant; and the animals of the field also have I given him to serve him.

⁶Oo haatan dalalkan oo dhan waxaan siiyey addoonkayga Nebukadnesar oo ah boqorka Baabuloon, oo weliba xayawaanka duurkana isagaan siiyey inay u adeegaan.

⁷All the nations shall serve him, and his son, and his son’s son, until the time of his own land come: and then many nations and great kings shall make him their bondservant.

⁷Oo quruumaha oo dhammuna way u wada adeegi doonaan isaga, iyo wiilkiisa, iyo wiilka wiilkiisa, ilaa wakhtiga dalkiisu yimaado, oo dabadeedna quruumo badan iyo boqorro waaweyn ayaa isaga addoonsan doona.

⁸It shall happen, that the nation and the kingdom which will not serve the same Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and that will not put their neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon, that nation will I punish, says Yahweh, with the sword, and with the famine, and with the pestilence, until I have consumed them by his hand.

⁸Oo Rabbigu wuxuu leeyahay, Quruuntii iyo boqortooyadii aan u adeegin Nebukadnesar oo ah boqorka Baabuloon, oo diida inay qoortooda ka hoos mariyaan harqoodka boqorka Baabuloon, quruuntaas waxaan ku ciqaabi doonaa seef iyo abaar iyo belaayo, ilaa aan iyaga gacantiisa ku baabbi'iyo.

⁹But as for you, don’t you listen to your prophets, nor to your diviners, nor to your dreams, nor to your soothsayers, nor to your sorcerers, who speak to you, saying, You shall not serve the king of Babylon:

⁹Haddaba idinku innaba ha maqlina nebiyadiinna iyo waxsheegyadiinna, iyo riyolowyadiinna, iyo faaliyayaashiinna amase xataa saaxiriintiinna ee idinku yidhaahda, Idinku uma aad adeegi doontaan boqorka Baabuloon,

¹⁰for they prophesy a lie to you, to remove you far from your land, and that I should drive you out, and you should perish.

¹⁰waayo, been bay idiinku sii sheegaan, si ay dalkiinna idinkaga fogeeyaan, oo aan anigu dibadda idinku kexeeyo, oo aad u halligantaan aawadeed.

¹¹But the nation that shall bring their neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon, and serve him, that nation will I let remain in their own land, says Yahweh; and they shall till it, and dwell therein.

¹¹Laakiinse Rabbigu wuxuu leeyahay, Quruuntii qoorteeda ka hoos marisa harqoodka boqorka Baabuloon inay isaga u adeegto aawadeed, taas dalkeedaan ku dayn doonaa, oo beeraheeday sii fali doontaa, wayna sii degganaan doontaa.

¹²I spoke to Zedekiah king of Judah according to all these words, saying, Bring your necks under the yoke of the king of Babylon, and serve him and his people, and live.

¹²Weliba erayadan oo dhanna waan kula hadlay Sidqiyaah oo ah boqorka dalka Yahuudah, oo waxaan ku idhi, Qoortiinna ka hoos mariya harqoodka boqorka Baabuloon, oo u adeega isaga iyo dadkiisa, oo saas ku noolaada.

¹³Why will you die, you and your people, by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence, as Yahweh has spoken concerning the nation that will not serve the king of Babylon?

¹³Oo bal maxaad adiga iyo dadkaaguba seefta iyo abaarta iyo belaayada ugu dhimanaysaan, sida Rabbigu uga hadlay quruuntii aan u adeegin boqorka Baabuloon?

¹⁴Don’t listen to the words of the prophets who speak to you, saying, You shall not serve the king of Babylon; for they prophesy a lie to you.

¹⁴Innaba ha maqlina nebiyada idinka hadla ee leh, Uma aad adeegi doontaan boqorka Baabuloon, waayo, iyagu been bay idiin sii sheegaan.

¹⁵For I have not sent them, says Yahweh, but they prophesy falsely in my name; that I may drive you out, and that you may perish, you, and the prophets who prophesy to you.

¹⁵Maxaa yeelay, Rabbigu wuxuu leeyahay, Anigu sooma aan dirin, laakiinse been bay magacayga ku sii sheegaan, si aan idiin eryo, oo aad u halligantaan, idinka iyo nebiyada wax idiin sii sheegaba.

¹⁶Also I spoke to the priests and to all this people, saying, Thus says Yahweh: Don’t listen to the words of your prophets who prophesy to you, saying, Behold, the vessels of Yahweh’s house shall now shortly be brought again from Babylon; for they prophesy a lie to you.

¹⁶Oo weliba wadaaddada iyo dadkan oo dhanba, waan la hadlay oo waxaan ku idhi, Rabbigu wuxuu leeyahay, Innaba ha maqlina erayadii nebiyadiinna wax idiin sii sheega, oo idinku yidhaahda, Bal ogaada, weelashii guriga Rabbiga mar dhow baa Baabuloon laga soo celin doonaa, waayo, iyagu been bay idiin sii sheegaan.

¹⁷Don’t listen to them; serve the king of Babylon, and live: why should this city become a desolation?

¹⁷Iyaga ha maqlina. Boqorka Baabuloon u adeega, oo saas ku noolaada, waayo, bal maxay magaaladani cidla u noqonaysaa?

¹⁸But if they be prophets, and if the word of Yahweh be with them, let them now make intercession to Yahweh of Armies, that the vessels which are left in the house of Yahweh, and in the house of the king of Judah, and at Jerusalem, don’t go to Babylon.

¹⁸Laakiinse iyagu hadday nebiyo yihiin, iyo haddii eraygii Rabbigu uu iyaga la jiro, haatan Rabbiga ciidammada ha ka baryeen in weelasha ku hadhay guriga Rabbiga, iyo guriga boqorka dalka Yahuudah, iyo Yeruusaalem gudaheeduba ayan Baabuloon tegin.

¹⁹For thus says Yahweh of Armies concerning the pillars, and concerning the sea, and concerning the bases, and concerning the residue of the vessels that are left in this city,

¹⁹Waayo, Rabbiga ciidammadu wuxuu ka leeyahay tiirarka, iyo berkedda, iyo saldhigyada, iyo weelasha magaaladan ku hadhay,

²⁰which Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon didn’t take, when he carried away captive Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim, king of Judah, from Jerusalem to Babylon, and all the nobles of Judah and Jerusalem;

²⁰oo uusan Nebukadnesar oo ah boqorka Baabuloon qaadan markuu maxaabiis ahaanta u kaxaystay boqorkii dalka Yahuudah oo ahaa Yekonyaah ina Yehooyaaqiim iyo saraakiishii dadka Yahuudah iyo reer Yeruusaalemba, oo intuu Yeruusaalem ka kaxaystay uu Baabuloon la tegey,

²¹yes, thus says Yahweh of Armies, the God of Israel, concerning the vessels that are left in the house of Yahweh, and in the house of the king of Judah, and at Jerusalem:

²¹Rabbiga ciidammada oo ah Ilaaha reer binu Israa'iil wuxuu ka leeyahay weelasha ku hadhay guriga Rabbiga iyo guriga boqorka dalka Yahuudah, iyo Yeruusaalemba,Rabbigu wuxuu leeyahay, Iyaga waxaa loo qaadan doonaa Baabuloon, oo halkaasay oolli doonaan ilaa maalinta aan soo booqan doono, oo dabadeedna waan soo qaadi doonaa oo meeshan baan ku soo celin doonaa.

²²They shall be carried to Babylon, and there shall they be, until the day that I visit them, says Yahweh; then will I bring them up, and restore them to this place.

²²Rabbigu wuxuu leeyahay, Iyaga waxaa loo qaadan doonaa Baabuloon, oo halkaasay oolli doonaan ilaa maalinta aan soo booqan doono, oo dabadeedna waan soo qaadi doonaa oo meeshan baan ku soo celin doonaa.
