Deuteronomy 4
1 And now, Israel, hearken to the statutes and to the ordinances which I teach you, to do [them], that ye may live, and go in and possess the land which Jehovah the God of your fathers giveth you.
Yaa Israaʼel, ajajawwanii fi seerawwan ani isin barsiisu dhagaʼaa. Akka jiraattanii fi dhaqxanii biyya Waaqayyo Waaqni abbootii keessanii isiniif kennu dhaaltaniifis isaan duukaa buʼaa.
2 Ye shall not add to the word which I command you, neither shall ye take from it, that ye may keep the commandments of Jehovah your God which I command you.
Ajaja Waaqayyo Waaqa keessanii kan ani isiniif kennu eegaa malee waan tokko illee itti hin dabalinaa yookaan irraa hin hirʼisinaa.
3 Your eyes have seen what Jehovah did because of Baal-Peor; for all the men that followed Baal-Peor, Jehovah thy God hath destroyed them from among you;
Isin waan Waaqayyo Baʼaal Pheʼooritti hojjete ijuma keessaniin argitaniirtu. Waaqayyo Waaqni keessan warra isin gidduudhaa Baʼaal Pheʼoor duukaa buʼan hunda balleesseera;
4 but ye that did cleave to Jehovah your God are alive every one of you this day.
isin warri Waaqayyo Waaqa keessan qabattan hundi garuu hamma harʼaatti lubbuudhaan jiraattan.
5 See, I have taught you statutes and ordinances, even as Jehovah my God commanded me, that ye may do so in the land into which ye enter to possess it.
Kunoo, akka isin biyya dhaaluuf itti galuuf jirtanitti isaan duukaa buutaniif ani akkuma Waaqayyo Waaqni koo na ajajetti ajajawwanii fi seerawwan isin barsiiseera.
6 And ye shall keep and do them; for that will be your wisdom and your understanding before the eyes of the peoples that shall hear all these statutes, and say, Verily this great nation is a wise and understanding people.
Kunis akka saboonni waaʼee ajajawwan kanaa hunda dhagaʼanii, “Dhugumaan sabni guddaan kun saba ogeessaa fi hubataa dha” jedhaniif ogummaa fi hubannaa keessan sabootatti argisiisaatii akka gaariitti isaan eegaa.
7 For what great nation is there that hath God near to them as Jehovah our God is in everything we call upon him for?
Sabni guddaan akka yeroo nu Waaqayyo Waaqa keenya waammannutti nutti dhiʼaatu sana waaqonni isaanii itti dhiʼaatan kan biraa kami?
8 And what great nation is there that hath righteous statutes and ordinances, as all this law which I set before you this day?
Sabni guddaan ajajawwanii fi seera qajeelaa akka seera ani harʼa fuula keessan dura kaaʼu kanaa qabu biraa kami?
9 Only take heed to thyself, and keep thy soul diligently, lest thou forget the things that thine eyes have seen (and lest they depart from thy heart all the days of thy life; but thou shalt make them known to thy sons and to thy sons' sons),
Akka waan iji kee arge hin daganneef yookaan akka hamma ati lubbuudhaan jirtutti garaa keetii hin badneef ofuma eeggadhu; jabaadhuu of eeggadhu. Waan kanas ijoollee keetii fi ijoollee ijoollee ijoollee keetii barsiisi.
10 the day that thou stoodest before Jehovah thy God in Horeb, when Jehovah said to me, Gather me the people together, that I may cause them to hear my words, that they may learn them, and fear me all the days that they live upon the earth, and teach them to their children.
Gaafa isin Kooreebitti fuula Waaqayyo Waaqa keessanii dura dhaabattan, yeroo inni, “Akka isaan hamma lubbuudhaan lafa irra jiraatan hundatti na sodaachuu baratanii ijoollee ijoollee isaanii illee na sodaachuu barsiisaniif dubbii koo haa dhagaʼaniitii namoota walitti qabi” naan jedhe sana yaadadhaa.
11 And ye came near and stood under the mountain; and the mountain burned with fire to the heart of heaven, with darkness, clouds, and obscurity.
Isin utumaa tulluun sun bobaʼaa ibidda hamma wiirtuu samiitti ol baʼee duumessa gurraachaa fi dukkana limixiidhaan haguugamee jiruu itti dhiʼaattanii miilla tulluu sanaa jala dhadhaabattan.
12 And Jehovah spoke to you from the midst of the fire: ye heard the voice of the words, but ye saw no form; only [ye heard] a voice.
Ergasiis Waaqayyo ibidda keessaa isinitti dubbate. Isinis sagalee dubbii sanaa malee bifa tokko illee hin argine; sagalee tokko qofatu ture.
13 And he declared to you his covenant, which he commanded you to do, the ten words; and he wrote them on two tables of stone.
Innis kakuu isaa jechuunis Ajajawwan Kurnan akka isin isaan duukaa buutaniif isin ajaje sana isiniif labse. Ergasii immoo gabatee dhagaa lama irratti isaan barreesse.
14 And Jehovah commanded me at that time to teach you statutes and ordinances, that ye might do them in the land whither ye are passing over to possess it.
Waaqayyos yeroo sanatti akka ani ajajawwanii fi seerawwan biyya isin Yordaanos ceetanii dhaaltan sana keessatti duukaa buʼuu qabdan isin barsiisu na ajaje.
15 And take great heed to your souls (for ye saw no form on the day that Jehovah spoke to you in Horeb from the midst of the fire),
Gaafa Waaqayyo Kooreeb irratti ibidda keessaa isinitti dubbatetti isin bifa tokko illee hin argine. Kanaafuu jabeessaa of eeggadhaa;
16 lest ye corrupt yourselves, and make you a graven image, the form of any figure, the pattern of male or female,
kunis akka isin hin xuroofne, akka Waaqa tolfamaa bifa dhiiraatiin yookaan dubartiitiin soofame kam iyyuu ofii keessaniif hin tolfanne
17 the pattern of any beast that is on the earth, the pattern of any winged fowl that flieth in the heaven,
yookaan horii lafa irra jiraatu yookaan simbira samii keessa barrisu kam iyyuu
18 the pattern of anything that creepeth on the ground, the pattern of any fish that is in the waters under the earth;
yookaan uumama lafa irra munyuuqu kam iyyuu yookaan qurxummii lafa jala bishaan keessa jiraatu kam iyyuu hin tolfanneef.
19 and lest thou lift up thine eyes to the heavens, and see the sun, and the moon, and the stars, the whole host of heaven, and be drawn away and bow down to them and serve them, which Jehovah thy God hath assigned unto all peoples under the whole heaven.
Ati yommuu samii ol ilaaltee aduu, jiʼa, urjiiwwanii fi raayyaa samii hunda argitutti gowwoomfamtee fuula waan Waaqayyo Waaqni kee saboota samiidhaa gadii hundaaf qoodee kennee duratti gad jettee hin sagadin.
20 But you hath Jehovah taken, and hath brought you forth out of the iron furnace, out of Egypt, that ye might be to him a people of inheritance, as it is this day.
Waaqayyo garuu akka isin akkuma amma jirtan kana dhaala isaa taataniif badaa sibiila itti baqsan jechuunis biyya Gibxiitii baasee isin fide.
21 And Jehovah was angry with me on your account, and swore that I should not go over the Jordan, and that I should not enter in to that good land which Jehovah thy God giveth thee [for] an inheritance;
Waaqayyos sababii keessaniif natti dheekkamee akka ani laga Yordaanos ceʼee biyya gaarii kan Waaqayyo Waaqni keessan dhaala godhee isiniif kennu sana hin seenne kakate.
22 for I shall die in this land, I shall not go over the Jordan; but ye shall go over, and possess this good land.
Ani biyyuma kanatti nan duʼa; ani Yordaanosin hin ceʼu; isin garuu ceetanii biyya gaarii sana dhaaluuf jirtu.
23 Take heed to yourselves lest ye forget the covenant of Jehovah your God, which he made with you, and make yourselves a graven image, the form of anything which Jehovah thy God hath forbidden thee.
Akka kakuu Waaqayyo Waaqni keessan isin wajjin gale sana hin daganne of eeggadhaa; waaqota tolfamoo Waaqayyo Waaqni keessan isin dhowwe bifa kamiin iyyuu ofii keessaniif hin tolfatinaa.
24 For Jehovah thy God is a consuming fire, a jealous God.
Waaqayyo Waaqni keessan ibidda gubee balleessuudhaatii; Waaqa hinaafudhas.
25 When thou begettest sons, and sons' sons, and ye have remained long in the land, and shall corrupt yourselves, and make a graven image, the form of anything, and do evil in the sight of Jehovah thy God, to provoke him to anger,
Isin erga ijoollee fi ijoollee ijoollee keessanii hortanii biyya sana keessa bara dheeraa jiraattanii booddee, yoo xurooftanii fakkii waaqota tolfamoo bifa kamii iyyuu tolchitanii fuula Waaqayyo Waaqa keessanii duratti waan hamaa hojjettanii dheekkamsaaf isa kakaaftan,
26 I call heaven and earth to witness against you this day, that ye shall soon utterly perish from off the land whereunto ye pass over the Jordan to possess it: ye shall not prolong your days on it, but shall be utterly destroyed.
akka isin biyya Yordaanos ceetanii dhaaltan irraa ariitiidhaan dhabamtan ani guyyaa harʼaa samii fi lafa dhugaa baatota godhee isinitti nan waama. Iddoo sana yeroo dheeraa hin jiraattan; isin guutumaan guutuutti barbadooftu.
27 And Jehovah will scatter you among the peoples, and ye shall be left a small company among the nations to which Jehovah will lead you.
Waaqayyos saboota keessa isin faffacaasa; saboota warra Waaqayyo isaan gidduutti isin faffacaase keessattis muraasa taatanii haftu.
28 And ye shall there serve gods, the work of men's hands, wood and stone, which neither see, nor hear, nor eat, nor smell.
Isinis achitti waaqota harka namaatiin mukaa fi dhagaa irraa hojjetaman kanneen arguu yookaan dhagaʼuu yookaan nyaachuu yookaan fuunfachuu hin dandeenye waaqeffattu.
29 And from thence ye shall seek Jehovah thy God, and thou shalt find him, if thou shalt seek him with thy whole heart and with thy whole soul.
Garuu yoo achittis Waaqayyo Waaqa keessan barbaaddan ni argattu; isin yoo garaa fi yaada keessan guutuudhaan isa barbaaddan ni argattu.
30 In thy tribulation, and when all these things shall come upon thee, at the end of days, thou shalt return to Jehovah thy God, and shalt hearken to his voice,
Yommuu dhiphattee wanni kun hundi sitti dhufutti, baroota dhufuuf jiran keessa gara Waaqayyo Waaqa keetiitti ni deebita; isaafis ni ajajamta.
31 — for Jehovah thy God is a merciful God, — he will not forsake thee, neither destroy thee, nor forget the covenant of thy fathers which he swore unto them.
Waaqayyo Waaqni kee Waaqa araaraa ti; inni si hin gatu yookaan si hin balleessu yookaan kakuu abbootii keetiif kakate sana hin dagatu.
32 For ask now of the days that are past, which were before thee, since the day that God created man on the earth, and from one end of the heavens to the other end of the heavens, whether there hath been anything as this great thing is, or if anything hath been heard like it?
Waaʼee baroota durii kan utuu ati hin dhalatin dura gaafa Waaqayyo lafa irratti nama uumee jalqabee ture sana iyyaafadhaa; daarii samii tokko irraa hamma daarii kaaniitti iyyaafadhaa. Wanni guddaan akkanaa takkumaa uumamee yookaan wanni akkanaa takkumaa dhagaʼamee beekaa?
33 Did [ever] people hear the voice of God speaking from the midst of the fire, as thou hast heard, and live?
Sabni akka keessan sagalee Waaqaa kan ibidda keessaa dubbatu dhagaʼee lubbuudhaan jiraate kan biraa takkumaa argameeraa?
34 Or hath God essayed to come to take him a nation from the midst of a nation, by trials, by signs, and by wonders, and by war, and by a powerful hand, and by a stretched-out arm, and by great terrors, according to all that Jehovah your God did for you in Egypt before your eyes?
Waaqni kam iyyuu takkumaa akka Waaqayyo Waaqni keessan utuma iji keessan arguu biyya Gibxitti isinii godhe sana saba tokko saba biraa keessaa qorumsaan, mallattoo fi dinqiidhaan, waraanaan, harka jabaa fi irree diriirfameen, yookaan hojii guddaa fi sodaachisaadhaan baasee kan ofii isaa godhachuu yaale jira?
35 Unto thee it was shewn, that thou mightest know that Jehovah, he is God — there is none other besides him.
Isinis Waaqayyo Waaqa taʼuu isaa akka beektaniif wantoonni kunneen isinitti argisiifaman; isa malees kan biraa hin jiru.
36 From the heavens he made thee hear his voice, that he might instruct thee; and on the earth he shewed thee his great fire; and thou heardest his words from the midst of the fire.
Inni si adabachuuf jedhee samiidhaa sagalee isaa si dhageessise. Lafa irratti ibidda isaa guddicha sitti argisiisee atis ibidda keessaa dubbii isaa dhageesse.
37 And because he loved thy fathers, and chose their seed after them, he brought thee out with his countenance, with his great power, out of Egypt,
Inni waan abbootii kee jaallatee isaan booddees sanyiiwwan isaanii filateef ofii isaatiin humna isaa guddaadhaan biyya Gibxiitii baasee isin fide;
38 to dispossess nations from before thee greater and mightier than thou art, to bring thee in, to give thee their land for an inheritance, as it is this day.
kanas akka harʼa taʼee jiru kana saboota si caalaa gurguddaa fi jajjaboo si duraa ariʼee biyya isaanii dhaala godhee siif kennuuf itti si fide.
39 Thou shalt know therefore this day, and consider it in thy heart, that Jehovah, he is God in the heavens above, and on the earth beneath: [there is] none else.
Harʼa akka Waaqayyo ol samii gubbaatti, gad lafa irrattis Waaqa taʼe beeki; garaa keettis qabadhu. Kan biraas hin jiru.
40 And thou shalt keep his statutes, and his commandments, which I command thee this day, that it may be well with thee and with thy sons after thee, and that thou mayest prolong thy days on the land which Jehovah thy God giveth thee, for ever.
Akka sii fi ijoollee kee warra siʼiin duubaatiif toluu fi akka biyya Waaqayyo Waaqni kee bara baraan siif kennutti umuriin kee dheeratuuf qajeelchawwanii fi ajajawwan isaa kanneen ani harʼa siif kennu eegi.
41 Then Moses separated three cities on this side the Jordan toward the sun-rising,
Yeroo sanatti Museen magaalaawwan baʼa Yordaanos sadii addaan baafate;
42 that the manslayer might flee thither, who should kill his neighbour unawares, and hated him not previously, that fleeing to one of these cities, he might live:
kunis lafa namni nama ajjeese yoo utuu itti hin yaadin nama ajjeese itti baqatuu dha. Innis magaalaawwan kanneen keessaa tokkotti baqatee lubbuu isaa oolfachuu dandaʼa.
43 Bezer in the wilderness, in the plateau, of the Reubenites, and Ramoth in Gilead, of the Gadites, and Golan in Bashan, of the Manassites.
Magaalaawwan sunis kanneen turan: Bezer kan gammoojjii keessa tabba irra jirtu gosa Ruubeeniif, Raamooti kan Giliʼaaditti argamtu gosa Gaadiif, Goolaan kan Baashaanitti argamtu immoo gosa Minaaseef.
44 And this is the law which Moses set before the children of Israel:
Kun Seera Museen Israaʼeloota dura kaaʼee dha.
45 these are the testimonies, and the statutes, and the ordinances that Moses declared to the children of Israel, when they came out of Egypt,
Qajeelchi, ajajnii fi seerri Museen yommuu isaan biyya Gibxii baʼanitti Israaʼelootaaf kenne kanaa dha;
46 on this side the Jordan, in the valley opposite to Beth-Peor, in the land of Sihon the king of the Amorites, who dwelt in Heshbon, whom Moses and the children of Israel smote when they came out of Egypt;
kunis yeroo isaan Sulula Beet Pheʼoor biyya baʼa Yordaanositti argamtu keessa turanitti taʼe; biyyi kunis biyya Sihoon mootii Amoorotaa kan Heshboon keessa jiraachaa turee Musee fi Israaʼeloonni yeroo biyya Gibxii baʼanitti isa moʼatanii ti.
47 and they took possession of his land, and the land of Og the king of Bashan, two kings of the Amorites, who were on this side the Jordan, toward the sun-rising;
Isaanis biyya isaatii fi biyya Oogi mooticha Baashaan jechuunis biyyoota mootota Amoorii lamaan baʼa Yordaanositti argaman dhaala godhanii fudhatan.
48 from Aroer, which is on the bank of the river Arnon, as far as mount Sion, which is Hermon,
Biyyi kunis Aroʼeer kan daarii Sulula Arnoonii jalqabee hamma Gaara Sihoonitti jechuunis hamma Hermooniitti balʼata;
49 and all the plain on this side the Jordan, eastward, and as far as the sea of the plain, under the slopes of Pisgah.
innis Arabbaa baʼa Yordaanosii hamma galaana Arabbaatti jiru kan tabba Phisgaatii gaditti argamu hunda dabalata.
