< Deuteronomy 28 >

1 “So then, if you will listen to the voice of the Lord your God, so as to keep and do all of his commandments, which I instruct to you this day, the Lord your God will cause you to be more exalted than all the nations which exist upon the earth.
Yoo ati guutumaan guutuutti Waaqayyo Waaqa keetiif ajajamtee ajajawwan isaa kanneen ani harʼa siif kennu of eeggannaadhaan duukaa buute, Waaqayyo Waaqni kee saboota lafa irra jiraatan hundaa olitti ol si qaba.
2 And all these blessings shall come to you and take hold of you, but only if you listen to his precepts.
Yoo ati Waaqayyo Waaqa keetiif ajajamte eebbi kun hundi siif taʼa; si faana deemas:
3 Blessed shall you be in the city, and blessed in the field.
Ati magaalaatti ni eebbifamta; baadiyyaattis ni eebbifamta.
4 Blessed shall be the fruit of your loins, and the fruit of your land, and the fruit of your cattle, the droves of your herds, and the folds of your sheep.
Iji gadameessa keetii, iji lafa keetii, iji horii keetii, jabbiin loon keetiitii fi korbeeyyiin bushaayee keetii ni eebbifamu.
5 Blessed shall be your barns, and blessed your storehouses.
Guuboon keetii fi miʼi bukoo keetii ni eebbifamu.
6 Blessed shall you be entering and departing.
Ati yommuu galtu ni eebbifamta; yommuu baatus ni eebbifamta.
7 The Lord will grant that your enemies, who rise up against you, will fall down in your sight. They will come against you by one way, and they will flee from your face by seven ways.
Waaqayyo akka diinonni kee kanneen sitti kaʼan fuula kee duratti moʼataman ni godha. Isaan karaa tokkoon sitti dhufu, garuu karaa torbaan si baqatu.
8 The Lord will send forth a blessing upon your cellars, and upon all the works of your hands. And he will bless you in the land that you shall receive.
Waaqayyo gombisaa keetii fi waan harki kee qabate hundatti eebba isaa ni erga. Waaqayyo Waaqni kee biyya siif kennu keessatti si eebbisa.
9 The Lord will raise you up as a holy people for himself, just as he swore to you, if you will keep the commandments of the Lord your God, and walk in his ways.
Yoo ati ajaja Waaqayyo Waaqa keetii eegdee karaa isaa irra deddeebite, Waaqayyo akkuma kakuudhaan si abdachiisetti saba isaa qulqulluu godhee si dhaaba.
10 And all the peoples of the earth shall see that the name of the Lord has been invoked over you, and they shall fear you.
Ergasii saboonni lafa irra jiraatan hundi akka ati maqaa Waaqayyootiin waamamtu arganii si sodaatu.
11 The Lord will cause you to be abundant in every good thing: in the fruit of your womb, and in the fruit of your cattle, and in the fruit of your land, which the Lord swore to your fathers that he would give to you.
Waaqayyo biyya siif kennuuf abbootii keetiif kakate keessatti ijoolleedhaan, jabbootaa fi midhaan lafaatiin sooruma irra dhangalaʼaa siif kenna.
12 The Lord will open his excellent treasury, the heavens, so that it may distribute rain in due time. And he will bless all the works of your hands. And you shall lend to many nations, but you yourself will borrow nothing from anyone.
Waaqayyo yeroodhaan lafa keetti bokkaa ergee hojii harka keetii hunda eebbisuuf gombisaa badhaadhummaa isaa jechuunis samiiwwan ni bana. Ati saboota hedduudhaaf ni liqeessita malee tokkoo isaanii irraa iyyuu hin liqeeffattu.
13 And the Lord will appoint you as the head, and not as the tail. And you shall be always above, and not beneath. But only if you will listen to the commandments of the Lord your God, which I entrust to you this day, and will keep and do them,
Waaqayyo mataa si godha malee eegee si hin godhu. Ati yoo ajajawwan Waaqayyo Waaqa keetii kanneen ani harʼa siif kennu of eeggannaadhaan eegdee duukaa buute, yeroo hunda irra aanta malee jala hin aantu.
14 and will not turn aside from them, neither to the right, nor to the left, nor follow strange gods, nor worship them.
Ati waaqota biraa duukaa buʼuu fi tajaajiluudhaan ajajawwan ani harʼa siif kennu kanneen irraa mirgattis bitaattis hin gorin.
15 But if you are not willing to listen to the voice of the Lord your God, so as to keep and do all his commandments and ceremonies, which I instruct to you this day, all these curses shall come to you, and take hold of you.
Garuu yoo ati Waaqayyo Waaqa keetiif ajajamuu baattee ajajawwan isaatii fi qajeelchawwan isaa kanneen ani harʼa siif kennu hunda of eeggannaadhaan eeguu didde, abaarsawwan kunneen hundi si qaqqabu; si liqimsus:
16 Cursed shall you be in the city, cursed in the field.
Ati magaalaatti ni abaaramta; baadiyyaattis ni abaaramta.
17 Cursed shall be your barn, and cursed your storehouses.
Guuboon kee ni abaarama; miʼi bukoo keetiis ni abaarama.
18 Cursed shall be the fruit of your loins, and the fruit of your land, the herds of your oxen, and the flocks of your sheep.
Iji gadameessa keetii, iji lafa keetii, jabbiin loon keetiitii fi korbeeyyiin bushaayee keetii ni abaaramu.
19 Cursed shall you be entering, and cursed departing.
Ati yommuu galtu ni abaaramta; yommuu baatu illee ni abaaramta.
20 The Lord will send famine and hunger upon you, and a rebuke upon all the works that you do, until he quickly crushes and perishes you, because of your very wicked innovations, by which you have forsaken me.
Ati sababii isa dhiiftee waan hamaa hojjetteef Waaqayyo hamma ati barbadooftee daftees lafa irraa dhabamtutti waan harki kee hojjetu hundaan abaarsa, joonjaʼuu fi dheekkamsa sitti erga.
21 May the Lord join a pestilence to you, until he consumes you from the land, which you shall enter so as to possess.
Waaqayyo hamma biyya ati dhaaluuf itti galtu irraa si balleessutti dhukkubaan si dhaʼa.
22 May the Lord strike you with destitution, with fever and cold, with burning and heat, and with polluted air and rot, and may he pursue you until you perish.
Waaqayyo hamma ati lafa irraa dhabamtutti, dhukkuba nama huqqisuun, dhagna gubaa fi dhullaadhaan, hoʼa aduutii fi bona hamaadhaan, coollaguu fi waagiidhaan si dhaʼa.
23 May the heavens which are above you be of brass, and may the ground upon which you tread be of iron.
Samiin mataa keetii olii naasii, lafti miilla kee jalaa sibiila taʼa.
24 May the Lord give you dust instead of rain upon your land, and may ashes descend from heaven over you, until you have been wiped away.
Waaqayyo bokkaa lafa keetii awwaaraa fi daaraatti geeddara; kunis hamma ati baddutti samiidhaa sitti gad harcaʼa.
25 May the Lord hand you over to fall before your enemies. May you go forth against them by one way, and flee by seven ways, and may you be scattered across all the kingdoms of the earth.
Waaqayyo akka ati diina kee duratti moʼatamtu godha. Ati karaa tokkoon isaanitti dhufta; garuu karaa torbaan isaan duraa baqatta; mootummoota lafa irra jiran hundaaf waan kolfaa taata.
26 And may your carcass be food for all the flying things of the air and the wild beasts of the land, and may there be no one to drive them away.
Reeffi kee simbirroota samii hundaa fi bineensota lafaatiif nyaata taʼa; namni sodaachisee isaan ariʼus hin jiraatu.
27 May the Lord strike you with the ulcer of Egypt, and may he strike the part of your body, through which the dung goes out, with disease as well as itch, so much so that you are unable to be cured.
Waaqayyos dhukkuba ati hin fayyine jechuunis dhullaa biyya Gibxiitiin, iitaan, madaa malaʼuu fi cittoodhaan si dhiphisa.
28 May the Lord strike you with frenzy and blindness and a madness of the mind.
Waaqayyo maraatummaadhaan, jaamummaa fi burjaajaʼuu sammuutiin si dhiphisa.
29 And may you grope at midday, just as a blind man is accustomed to grope in darkness, and may your paths not be straight. And at all times may you suffer slander and be oppressed with violence, and may you have no one who may free you.
Ati guyyaa saafaa akka jaamaa dukkana keessa waa qaqqabatuutti deemta; wanni ati hojjettu hundinuu siif hin milkaaʼu; guyyuma guyyaan cunqurfamtee saamamta; kan si oolchus hin jiru.
30 May you take a wife, though another sleeps with her. May you build a house, but not live within it. May you plant a vineyard, and not gather its vintage.
Ati niitii kaadhimatta; garuu nama biraatu ishee wajjin ciisa. Mana ijaarratta; garuu keessa hin jiraattu. Wayinii dhaabbatta, garuu ija isaa hin nyaattu.
31 May your ox be immolated before you, though you do not eat from it. May your donkey be seized in your sight, and not restored to you. May your sheep be given to your enemies, and may there be no one who may help you.
Sangaan kee fuula kee duratti qalama; garuu ati foon isaa irraa homaa hin nyaattu. Harreen kee humnaan sirraa fudhatama; siif hin deebifamus. Hoolonni kee diinota keetiif kennamu; namni isaan harkaa buusus hin jiru.
32 May your sons and your daughters be handed over to another people, as your eyes watch and languish at the sight of them throughout the day, and may there be no strength in your hand.
Ilmaanii fi intallan kee namoota ormaatiif kennamu; iji kees guyyuma guyyaan isaan eeguudhaan fajaja; ati harka ol fudhachuuf humna hin qabaattu.
33 May a people you do not know eat the fruits of your land and of all your labors. And may you continually suffer from slander and oppression every day.
Oomisha lafa keetiitii fi humna keetii hunda namoonni ati hin beekne ni nyaatu; ati bara jireenya keetii guutuu cunqurfamtee jiraachuu malee homaa hin qabaattu.
34 And may you be stupefied at the terror of the things your eyes will see.
Wanni ati argitu hundi si maraacha.
35 May the Lord strike you with a very grievous ulcer in the knees and in the legs, and may you be unable to attain health, from the sole of the foot to the top of the head.
Waaqayyo faana miilla keetiitii jalqabee hamma gubbaa mataa keetii gaʼutti madaa hin fayyine kan nama dhiphisuun jilbaa fi miilla kee ni dhaʼa.
36 May the Lord lead you and your king, whom you will have appointed over yourself, into a nation which you and your fathers have not known. And there you will serve foreign gods, of wood and of stone.
Waaqayyo siʼii fi mootii ati of irratti moosifte saboota ati yookaan abbootiin kee hin beekinitti ni kenna. Atis achitti waaqota biraa, waaqota mukaatii fi kan dhagaa ni waaqeffatta.
37 And you will become nothing but a proverb and a fable to all the peoples to whom the Lord will lead you.
Saboota Waaqayyo itti si geessu hunda keessatti waan qaanii, kan kolfaatii fi kan quba itti qaban ni taata.
38 You will sow much seed upon the ground, but you will harvest little. For the locusts will devour everything.
Lafa qotiisaa kee keessa sanyii baayʼee facaafatta; garuu sababii hawwaannisni nyaatee fixuuf xinnoo walitti qabatta.
39 You will dig and plant a vineyard, but you will not drink the wine, nor gather anything at all from it. For it will be devastated by worms.
Atis wayinii dhaabdee kunuunsita; garuu waan raammoon nyaatuuf daadhii isaa hin dhugdu yookaan ija isaa hin cirattu.
40 You will have olive trees in all your borders, but you will not be anointed with the oil. For the olives will fall off and perish.
Biyya kee guutuu keessaa muka ejersaa qabaatta; garuu waan iji isaa lafatti harcaʼuuf ati zayitii isaatti hin fayyadamtu.
41 You will conceive sons and daughters, and you will not enjoy them. For they will be led into captivity.
Ati ilmaanii fi intallan qabaatta; garuu isaan waan boojiʼamaniif kan kee hin taʼan.
42 Rot will consume all the trees, as well as the fruits of your land.
Mukaa fi oomisha lafa qotiisaa keetii hunda tuuta hawwaannisaatu fixa.
43 The new arrival who lives with you in the land will ascend over you, and be higher. But you will descend, and be lower.
Alagaan gidduu kee jiraatu si caalaa guddata; ati garuu gad deemta.
44 He will lend to you, and you will not lend to him. He will be as the head, and you will be as the tail.
Isatu siif liqeessa malee ati isaaf hin liqeessitu. Inni mataa taʼa; ati garuu eegee taata.
45 And all these curses shall come to you, and shall pursue you, and shall take hold of you, until you pass away, because you would not listen to the voice of the Lord your God, and you would not serve his commandments and ceremonies, which he has instructed to you.
Abaarsi kun hundinuu si qaqqaba. Ati waan Waaqayyo Waaqa keetiif hin ajajamnee fi waan ajajawwanii fi qajeelchawwan inni siif kenne hin eeginiif hamma ati baddutti abaarsi kun si biraa hin hafu; si fudhatas.
46 And there will be the signs and portents with you, and with your offspring, forever.
Isaan bara baraan siʼii fi sanyii keetti mallattoo fi dinqii taʼu.
47 Because you did not serve the Lord your God, with gladness and a joyful heart, over the abundance of all things.
Ati waan yeroo sooromaatti galataa fi gammachuudhaan Waaqayyo Waaqa kee hin tajaajiliniif,
48 You will serve your enemy, whom the Lord will send to you, in hunger and thirst and nakedness, and in destitution of all things. And he will place an iron yoke upon your neck, until he has crushed you.
beelaa fi dheebuudhaan, daaraa fi hiyyummaa hamaadhaan diinota Waaqayyo sitti kaasu ni tajaajilta. Inni hamma si balleessutti waanjoo sibiilaa morma keetti kaaʼa.
49 The Lord will lead over you a nation from far away, even from the furthest parts of the earth, like an eagle flying with great force, whose language you are not able to understand:
Waaqayyo biyya akka malee fagoo irraa, daarii lafaatiis saba akka risaa dafee gad buʼu kan ati afaan isaa hin beekne sitti kaasa;
50 a very insolent nation, which will show no deference to elders, nor take pity on little ones.
innis saba jaarsaaf ulfina hin kennine, kan daaʼimmaniif garaa hin laafnee fi kan akka malee sodaachisuu dha.
51 And he will devour the fruit of your cattle, and the fruits of your land, until you have passed away, without leaving behind you wheat, or wine, or oil, or herds of oxen, or flocks of sheep: until he utterly destroys you.
Isaanis hamma ati baddutti ija loon keetiitii fi ija lafa keetii ni nyaatu. Hamma ati barbadooftutti midhaan tokko iyyuu, daadhii wayinii haaraa yookaan zayitii, jabboota loon keetiitii fi korbeeyyii bushaayee keetii tokko illee siif hin dhiisan.
52 And he will crush you in all your cities. And your strong and lofty walls, in which you trusted, will be destroyed throughout all your land. You will be besieged within your gates throughout all your land, which the Lord your God will give to you.
Isaan magaalaa biyya keetii hunda hamma dallaawwan ittisaa kanneen ati amanattu jijjiganitti ni marsu; magaalaa biyya Waaqayyo Waaqni kee siif kennu keessa jiran hunda iyyuu ni marsu.
53 And you will eat the fruit of your womb, and the flesh of your sons and of your daughters, which the Lord your God will give to you, due to the anguish and devastation with which your enemy will oppress you.
Ati sababii dhiphina diinonni kee yeroo si marsanitti sitti fidaniitiif ija gudeeda keetii, foon ilmaanii fi intallan keetii kanneen Waaqayyo Waaqni kee siif kennee ni nyaatta.
54 The man who is pampered and very self-indulgent among you will vie with his own brother, and with the wife who lies at his bosom,
Namni gidduu keetii akka malee gara laafessaa fi garraamii taʼe iyyuu obboleessa isaatiif yookaan niitii isaa kan jaallatuuf yookaan ijoollee isaa warra hafaniif garaa hin laafu;
55 lest he give to them from the flesh of his sons, which he will eat. For he has nothing else due to the siege and the destitution, with which your enemies will devastate you within all your gates.
inni foon ijoollee isaa kan nyaachaa jiru irraa xinnoo ishee illee tokkoo isaaniitiif iyyuu hin kennu. Sababii dhiphina diinonni kee yeroo magaalaawwan kee hunda marsanitti sirraan gaʼaniitiif wanni isaaf hafe kanuma qofaatii.
56 The tender and pampered woman, who would not walk upon the soil, nor step firmly with her foot due to her very great softness and tenderness, will vie with her husband, who lies at her bosom, over the flesh of son and of daughter,
Niitiin arjaa fi boontuun gidduu kee jiraattu kan sababii akka malee arjaa fi boontuu taateef miilla isheetiin lafa hin tuqne iyyuu dhirsa ishee kan jaallattutti, ilma isheetii fi intala isheetti illee ni hammaatti;
57 and over the filth of the afterbirth, which goes forth from between her thighs, and over the children who are born in the same hour. For they will eat them secretly, due to the scarcity of all things during the siege and the devastation, with which your enemy will oppress you within your gates.
isheen hobbaatii garaa isheetii baʼuu fi ijoollee deessu illee ni jibbiti. Sababiin isheen waan kana gootuufis yeroo marfamaa fi rakkinaatti, yommuu diinonni kee magaalaa kee keessatti si dhiphisanitti dhoksitee nyaachuuf jettee ti.
58 If you will not keep and do all the words of this law, which have been written in this volume, and fear his glorious and terrible name, that is, the Lord your God,
Yoo ati of eeggannaadhaan dubbiiwwan seera kanaa kanneen kitaaba kana keessatti barreeffaman hunda duukaa buʼuu dhiiftee maqaa Waaqayyo Waaqa keetii kabajamaa fi sodaachisaa sana sodaachuu baatte,
59 then the Lord will increase your plagues, and the plagues of your offspring, plagues great and long-lasting, infirmities very grievous and continuous.
Waaqayyo siʼii fi sanyii keetti dhaʼicha sodaachisaa, balaa dhiphisaa fi kan yeroo dheeraa turu, dhukkuba akka malee hamaa fi dafee hin fayyine ni erga.
60 And he will turn back upon you all the afflictions of Egypt, which you fear, and these will cling to you.
Dhukkuboota Gibxi kanneen ati sodaattus sitti fida; isaanis ciniinanii sitti qabatu.
61 In addition, the Lord will lead over you all the diseases and plagues that are not written in the volume of this law, until he crushes you.
Akkasumas hamma ati dhabamtutti Waaqayyo dhukkubootaa fi rakkinnoota biraa kanneen Kitaaba Seeraa kana keessatti hin barreeffamin sitti fida.
62 And you will remain few in number, though you were before like the stars of heaven in multitude, because you would not listen to the voice of the Lord your God.
Isin sababii Waaqayyo Waaqa keessaniif ajajamuu diddaniif isin warra akka urjiiwwan samii baayʼattanii turtan keessaa xinnootu hafa.
63 And just as before, when the Lord rejoiced over you, doing good for you and multiplying you, so shall he rejoice, scattering and overturning you, so as to take you away from the land, which you shall enter in order to possess.
Akkuma isin sooromsuu fi isin baayʼisuun Waaqayyo gammachiisu sana isin balleessuu fi isin barbadeessuunis isa gammachiisa. Isin biyya dhaaluuf itti galtan keessaa ni buqqaatu.
64 The Lord will disperse you among all the peoples, from the heights of the earth to its furthest limits. And there you will serve foreign gods of wood and of stone, which you and your fathers did not know.
Ergasiis Waaqayyo daarii lafaa tokko irraa hamma daarii lafaa kaaniitti saboota hunda gidduutti si bittinneessa. Ati achitti waaqota biraa, waaqota mukaatii fi kan dhagaa kanneen atii fi abbootiin kee hin beekin ni waaqeffatta.
65 Similarly, you will not have tranquility, even within those nations, nor will there be any rest for the steps of your feet. For the Lord will give to you in that place a fearful heart, and failing eyes, and a life consumed with grieving.
Ati saboota sana gidduutti boqonnaa hin argattu; lafa kophee miilla keetii irra keeyyattu illee hin argattu. Achittis Waaqayyo sammuu dhiphatu, ija hawwiidhaan fajajuu fi garaa abdii kutatu siif kenna.
66 And your life will be as if it were hanging before you. You will be afraid night and day, and you will not have confidence in your own life.
Ati halkanii guyyaa sodaadhaan qabamtee utuu lubbuun kee wabii hin argatin, yeroo hunda yaaddoodhaan jiraatta.
67 In the morning you will say, ‘Who will grant evening to me?’ and at evening, ‘Who will grant morning to me?’ because of the dread of your heart, with which you will be terrified, and because of those things that you will see with your eyes.
Sababii sodaa garaa kee guutuu sanaatii fi waan ija keetiin argitu sanaatiif ganama, “Utuu bariʼuu baatee!” galgala immoo, “Utuu dhiʼuu baatee!” jetta.
68 The Lord will lead you back into Egypt with a fleet of ships, along the way, about which he said to you that you would not see it again. In that place, you will be put up for sale as men and women servants to your enemies, but there will be no one willing to buy you.”
Karaa ani ati lammata as hin deebitu siin jedheenis Waaqayyo dooniidhaan Gibxitti si deebisa. Achittis akka garboota dhiiraa dubartiitti diinota keessanitti gurguramuuf of dhiʼeessitu; garuu namni tokko iyyuu isin hin bitatu.
