< Deuteronomy 12 >

1 “These are the precepts and judgments which you must do in the land which the Lord, the God of your fathers, will give to you, so that you may possess it during all the days that you shall walk upon the soil.
Sirnawwanii fi seerawwan isin bara lafa irra jiraattan guutuu biyya Waaqayyo Waaqni abbootii keessanii akka isin dhaaltaniif isiniif kenne keessatti of eeggannaadhaan eegdan kanneenii dha.
2 Overturn all the places where the nations, which you will possess, worshipped their gods on lofty mountains, and on hills, and under every leafy tree.
Iddoowwan saboonni isin irraa fudhattan waaqota isaanii itti waaqeffatan kanneen tulluuwwan ol dhedheeroo fi gaarran irraa, akkasumas kanneen muka lalisaa kam iyyuu jalaa hunda guutumaan guutuutti balleessaa;
3 Scatter their altars and break their statues. Burn their sacred groves with fire and crush their idols. Abolish their names from those places.
iddoowwan aarsaa isaanii diigaa; utubaawwan isaanii kanneen sagadaa caccabsaa; Aasheeraa isaanii ibiddaan gubaa; fakkii waaqota isaanii kukkutaa gataa; maqaa isaanii illee iddoo sanaa balleessaa.
4 But you shall not do the same to the Lord your God.
Isin haala isaan waaqeffataniin Waaqayyo Waaqa keessan hin waaqeffatinaa.
5 Instead, you shall approach the place which the Lord your God will choose among all your tribes, so that he may set his name there, and may dwell in that place.
Garuu iddoo Waaqayyo Waaqni keessan Maqaa isaa achi dhaabuuf jedhee iddoo jireenya isaatiif gosoota keessan hunda keessaa filatu barbaadaa. Achis dhaqaa;
6 And you shall offer, in that place, your holocausts and victims, the tithes and first-fruits of your hands, and your vows and gifts, the firstborn of the cattle and of the sheep.
achittis aarsaa gubamuu fi qalma keessan, kennaa keessan kudhan keessaa tokko, kennaa addaa, waan kennuuf wareegdanii fi kennaa fedhiidhaan kennitan, loonii fi bushaayee keessan keessaa hangafa dhiʼeessaa.
7 And you shall eat it there, in the sight of the Lord your God. And you shall rejoice in all the things to which you shall set your hand: you and your household, which the Lord your God has blessed for you.
Achittis atii fi warri mana kee jiraatan fuula Waaqayyo Waaqa keessanii duratti ni nyaattu; sababii Waaqayyo Waaqni keessan hojii harka keessanii hundaan isin eebbiseefis ni gammaddu.
8 You shall not do there the things that we are doing here today: each one doing what seems good to himself.
Akka nu harʼa godhaa jirru kana, akka tokkoon tokkoon namaa waanuma tolaa itti fakkaate godhu kana hin godhinaa;
9 For even until the present time, you did not arrive at the rest and the possession, which the Lord your God will give to you.
isin amma iyyuu boqonnaa fi dhaala Waaqayyo Waaqni keessan isiniif kennu hin geenyeetii.
10 You shall cross over the Jordan, and you shall live in the land which the Lord your God will give to you, so that you may have rest from all the surrounding enemies, and so that you may live without any fear,
Garuu Yordaanos ceetanii biyya Waaqayyo Waaqni keessan dhaala godhee isiniif kennu keessa ni qubattu; innis akka isin nagaan jiraattaniif diinota naannoo keessanii hunda jalaa boqonnaa isinii kenna.
11 in the place which the Lord your God will choose, so that his name may be in it. To that place, you shall bring all the things that I instruct you: holocausts, and victims, and tithes, and the first-fruits of your hands, and whatever is best among the gifts that you shall vow to the Lord.
Ergasiis gara Waaqayyo Waaqni keessan iddoo jireenya Maqaa isaatiif filatuutti waan ani isin ajaje hunda fiduu qabdu; kunis aarsaa gubamuu fi qalma keessan, kennaa keessan kudhan keessaa tokko, kennaa addaa, akkasumas wareega filatamaa Waaqayyoof kennuuf wareegdan hundaa dha.
12 In that place, you shall feast before the Lord your God: you, and your sons and daughters, your men and women servants, as well as the Levite who dwells in your cities. For he has no other portion or possession among you.
Achittis isin, ilmaanii fi intallan keessan, hojjetaa fi xomboreen keessan, akkasumas Lewwonni magaalaawwan keessan keessa jiraatan kanneen qooda yookaan dhaala mataa isaanii hin qabnes fuula Waaqayyo Waaqa keessanii duratti gammadaa.
13 Take care that you do not offer your holocausts in any place that you see.
Akka aarsaa keessan kan gubamu idduma argitan hundatti hin dhiʼeessine of eeggadhaa.
14 Instead, you shall offer sacrifices in the place which the Lord will choose within one of your tribes, and you shall do whatsoever I instruct you.
Iddoo Waaqayyo gosoota kee keessaa filatu tokko qofatti aarsaawwan gubaman dhiʼeessi; achittis waan ani si ajaju hunda eegi.
15 So, if you wish to eat, and if the eating of flesh pleases you, then kill and eat according to the blessing of the Lord your God, which he has given to you, in your cities: you may eat it whether it is unclean, that is, having blemish or defect, or whether it is clean, that is, whole and without blemish, of the kind which is permitted to be offered, such as the roe deer and the stag.
Taʼus akkuma eebba Waaqayyo Waaqni kee siif kennuutti, magaalaawwan kee kam iyyuu keessatti kuruphee yookaan gadamsa qaladhuutii hamma feete nyaadhu; warri akka seeraatti hin qulqullaaʼinii fi warri qulqullaaʼanis foon kana nyaachuu ni dandaʼu.
16 Only the blood you shall not eat. Instead, you shall pour it upon the ground like water.
Isin garuu dhiiga sana hin nyaatinaa; akkuma bishaaniitti lafatti dhangalaasaa.
17 You may not eat in your towns the tithes of your crops, and your wine and oil, the firstborn of your herds and your flocks, nor anything which you will vow, or which you will offer spontaneously, nor the first-fruits of your hands.
Ati midhaan kee yookaan daadhii wayinii keetii yookaan zayitii kee harka kudhan keessaa harka tokko yookaan kennaa hangafa loon keetii yookaan kan bushaayee keetii yookaan waan kennuuf wareega gootu kam iyyuu yookaan kennaa fedhii keetiin kennitu yookaan kennaa addaa magaalaawwan kee keessatti hin nyaatin.
18 But you shall eat these before the Lord your God, in the place which the Lord your God will choose: you, and your son, and your daughter, and your man servant and woman servant, and the Levite who dwells in your cities. And you shall rejoice and be refreshed in the sight of the Lord your God by all the things to which you will extend your hand.
Qooda kanaa iddoo Waaqayyo Waaqni kee filatuutti ati, ilmaan kee, intallan kee, hojjettoonni kee dhiiraa dubartiin, Lewwonni magaalaawwan kee keessa jiraatan fuula Waaqayyo Waaqa keetii duratti nyaadhaa; atis waan harki kee hojjetu hundaan fuula Waaqayyo Waaqa keetii duratti gammadi.
19 Be careful, lest you abandon the Levite, at any time while you are living in the land.
Bara biyya kee keessa jiraattu guutuu akka Lewwota hin daganne of eeggadhu.
20 When the Lord your God will have enlarged your borders, just as he has spoken to you, and when you would eat the flesh that your soul desires,
Yommuu Waaqayyo Waaqni kee akkuma si abdachiisetti biyya kee siif balʼisutti, ati yoo foon dharraatee, “Ani foon nyaachuu fedha” jette, hamma feete nyaachuu dandeessa.
21 but if the place which the Lord your God will choose, so that his name may be there, is far away, you may kill, from your herds and your flocks which you will have, in the manner I have instructed to you, and you may eat in your towns, as it pleases you.
Yoo iddoon Waaqayyo Waaqni kee Maqaa isaa achi dhaabbachuuf filatu akka malee sirraa fagoo taʼe, akkuma ani si ajajetti loonii fi bushaayee Waaqayyo Waaqni kee siif kenne keessaa qalachuu, magaalaawwan kee keessattis hamma feete nyaachuu dandeessa.
22 Just as the roe deer and the stag may be eaten, so also may you eat these: you may eat both the clean and the unclean alike.
Akkuma kurupheen yookaan gadamsi nyaatamu sana isaan nyaadhu; warri akka seeraatti hin qulqullaaʼinii fi warri qulqullaaʼan hundi nyaachuu ni dandaʼu.
23 Only beware of this: you may not eat the blood. For their blood is for the soul. And because of this, you must not eat the soul with the flesh.
Garuu akka dhiiga hin nyaanne of eeggadhu; sababiin isaa dhiigni waan lubbuu taʼeef ati foon wajjin lubbuu hin nyaatin.
24 Instead, you shall pour it upon the ground like water,
Ati dhiiga hin nyaatin; akkuma bishaanii lafatti dhangalaasi.
25 so that it may be well with you, and with your sons after you, when you will do what is pleasing in the sight of the Lord.
Akka siʼii fi ijoollee kee kanneen si duubaan dhalataniif toluuf ati dhiiga hin nyaatin; ati fuula Waaqayyoo duratti waan qajeelaa hojjechaa jirtaatii.
26 But the things that you have sanctified and vowed to the Lord, you shall take up and bring to the place which the Lord will choose.
Garuu wantoota kee qulqulluu fi waan kennuuf wareegde fudhadhuu iddoo Waaqayyo filatu dhaqi.
27 And you shall offer your oblations of flesh and of blood upon the altar of the Lord your God. You shall poor out the blood of your victims upon the altar. And you yourself shall eat the flesh.
Foonii fi dhiiga aarsaa kee kan gubamuu iddoo aarsaa Waaqayyo Waaqa keetii irratti dhiʼeessi. Dhiigni aarsaa keetii iddoo aarsaa Waaqayyo Waaqa keetii biratti dhangalaafamuu qaba; foon isaa garuu nyaachuu dandeessa.
28 Observe and heed all the things that I instruct to you, so that it may be well with you, and with your sons after you, continually, when you will do what is good and pleasing in the sight of the Lord your God.
Akka siʼii fi ijoollee kee kanneen si duuba dhalataniif yeroo hunda toluuf qajeelchawwan ani siif kennu kanneen hunda of eeggannaadhaan eegi; sababiin isaa ati ija Waaqayyo Waaqa keetii duratti waan gaarii fi qajeelaa hojjechaa jirtaatii.
29 When the Lord your God will have abolished before your face the nations, which you shall enter so as to possess them, and when you will possess them and live in their land,
Waaqayyo Waaqni kee saboota ati weerartee biyyaa baasuuf jirtu fuula kee duraa ni balleessa. Ati garuu yommuu ariitee isaan baaftee lafa isaanii irra qubattutti,
30 be careful that you do not imitate them, after they have been overturned at your arrival, and that you do not seek their ceremonies, saying: ‘Just as these nations have worshipped their gods, so also will I worship.’
erga isaan fuula kee duraa balleeffamanii booddees, “Saboonni kunneen akkamitti waaqota isaanii tajaajilu? Anis akkasuman godha” jettee waaʼee waaqota isaanii gaafachuudhaan kiyyoo keessa akka hin galle of eeggadhu.
31 You shall not act in like manner toward the Lord your God. For they have done to their gods all the abominations that the Lord spurns, offering their sons and daughters, and burning them with fire.
Isaan sababii waaqota isaanii waaqeffachuudhaan hojii jibbisiisaa Waaqayyo jibbu hedduu hojjetaniif, ati haala isaaniitiin Waaqayyo Waaqa kee hin waaqeffatin. Isaan ilmaan isaaniitii fi intallan isaanii illee waaqota isaaniitiif aarsaa godhanii ibiddaan gubu.
32 What I command to you, this only shall you do, for the Lord. You may neither add nor subtract anything.”
Ati waan ani si ajaju hunda eegi; itti hin dabalin; irraas hin hirʼisin.
