Deuteronomy 9
1 Hear, Israel! Thou art to pass over the Jordan this day, to enter in to possess nations greater and mightier than thou, cities great and walled up to heaven,
Yaa Israaʼel dhagaʼi. Ati Saboota si caalaa gurguddaa fi humna qabeeyyii, magaalaawwan dallaa samii gaʼuun marfaman qaban achii baaftee dhaaluuf Yordaanos ceʼuuf jirta.
2 a people great and tall, the sons of the Anakim, whom thou knowest, and of whom thou hast heard [say], Who can stand before the sons of Anak!
Namoonni sun ilmaan Anaaq warra jajjaboo fi dhedheeroo dha! Atis waaʼee isaanii ni beekta; akka, “Eenyutu Anaaqota dura dhaabachuu dandaʼa?” jedhamu illee dhageesseerta.
3 Know then this day, that Jehovah thy God is he that goeth over before thee, a consuming fire; he will destroy them, and he will cast them down before thee, and thou shalt dispossess them and cause them to perish quickly, as Jehovah hath said unto thee.
Taʼus kan akkuma ibidda waa gubee fixuu si dura ceʼu Waaqayyo Waaqa kee taʼuu isaa harʼa beeki. Inni isaan balleessa; fuula kee durattis gad isaan deebisa. Atis akkuma Waaqayyo si abdachiise sanatti ariitee isaan baafta; daftees isaan fixxa.
4 Thou shalt not say in thy heart, when Jehovah thy God thrusteth them out from before thee, saying, For my righteousness Jehovah hath brought me in to possess this land; but for the wickedness of these nations doth Jehovah dispossess them from before thee.
Erga Waaqayyo Waaqni kee fuula kee duraa ariʼee isaan baasee booddee ati garaa keetti, “Waaqayyo sababii qajeelummaa kootiif akka ani biyya kana dhaalu as na fide” hin jedhin. Waaqayyo sababii hammina isaaniitiif saboota kanneen fuula kee duraa ariʼee baasa.
5 Not for thy righteousness, or for the uprightness of thy heart, dost thou enter in to possess their land, but for the wickedness of these nations doth Jehovah thy God dispossess them from before thee, and that he may perform the word which Jehovah swore unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.
Ati biyya isaaniitti galtee kan dhaaltu qajeelummaa keetiin yookaan gaarummaa garaa keetiitiin utuu hin taʼin Waaqayyo kakuu abbootii kee Abrahaamiif, Yisihaaqii fi Yaaqoobiif gale sana guutuudhaaf jedhee Waaqayyo Waaqni kee saboota kanneen sababii hammina isaaniitiif fuula kee duraa ariʼee baasa.
6 Know therefore that Jehovah thy God doth not give thee this good land to possess it for thy righteousness; for thou art a stiff-necked people.
Egaa Waaqayyo Waaqni kee kan biyya gaarii kana akka dhaaltuuf siif kennu sababii qajeelummaa keetiitiif akka hin taʼin hubadhu; ati saba mata jabeessaatii.
7 Remember, forget not, how thou provokedst Jehovah thy God to wrath in the wilderness. From the day that thou didst depart out of the land of Egypt, until ye came to this place, ye have been rebellious against Jehovah.
Ati akkamitti akka gammoojjii keessatti Waaqayyo Waaqa kee dheekkamsaaf kakaafte yaadadhu; hin dagatinis. Ati gaafa biyya Gibxii baatee jalqabdee hamma as geessutti Waaqayyotti fincilaa turte.
8 And at Horeb ye provoked Jehovah to wrath, and Jehovah was angry with you, to destroy you,
Isin Kooreebitti iyyuu Waaqayyoon dheekkamsaaf kakaasnaan Waaqayyo isin barbadeessuuf isinitti aare.
9 when I went up the mountain to receive the tables of stone, the tables of the covenant which Jehovah made with you, and I abode in the mountain forty days and forty nights, — I ate no bread and drank no water, —
Ani yeroo gabateewwan dhagaa jechuunis gabateewwan kakuu Waaqayyo isin wajjin gale sanaa fuudhuuf tulluutti ol baʼetti guyyaa afurtamaa fi halkan afurtama tulluu sana irran ture; ani buddeena tokko illee hin nyaanne; bishaan illee hin dhugne.
10 — and Jehovah delivered to me the two tables of stone written with the finger of God; and on them [was written] according to all the words which Jehovah spoke with you on the mountain from the midst of the fire on the day of the assembly.
Waaqayyos gabateewwan dhagaa lama kanneen quba Waaqayyootiin irratti barreeffame natti kenne. Ajajawwan Waaqayyo yeroo isin walitti qabamtanitti tulluu irratti ibidda keessaa isinitti labse hundi gabateewwan sana irra turan.
11 And it came to pass at the end of forty days and forty nights, that Jehovah gave me the two tables of stone, the tables of the covenant.
Dhuma guyyaa afurtamaatii fi halkan afurtamaatti Waaqayyo gabateewwan dhagaa lama jechuunis gabateewwan kakuu natti kenne.
12 And Jehovah said unto me, Arise, go down quickly from hence; for thy people which thou hast brought forth out of Egypt have corrupted themselves; they have quickly turned aside from the way which I commanded them: they have made for themselves a molten image.
Gaafas Waaqayyo akkana naan jedhe; “Kaʼii dafii gad buʼi; sabni kee kan ati biyya Gibxiitii baaftee fidde sun xuraaʼeeraatii. Isaan waan ani isaan ajaje irraa dafanii garagalanii ofii isaaniitiif Waaqa baqfamee hojjetame tolfataniiruutii.”
13 And Jehovah spoke unto me, saying, I have seen this people, and behold, it is a stiff-necked people.
Waaqayyo ammas akkana naan jedhe; “Ani saba kana argeera; kunoo inni saba mata jabeessa!
14 Let me alone, that I may destroy them, and blot out their name from under heaven; and I will make of thee a nation mightier and greater than they.
Akka ani isaan balleessee maqaa isaanii illee samii gadii haquuf na dhiisi; siʼi immoo isaan caalaa saba guddaa fi jabaa nan godha.”
15 And I turned and came down from the mountain, and the mountain burned with fire; and the two tables of the covenant were in my two hands.
Anis of irra garagalee utuma tulluun sun bobaʼaa jiruu tulluu irraa gad nan buʼe. Gabateewwan kakuu lamaan sunis na harka turan.
16 And I saw, and behold, ye had sinned against Jehovah your God: ye had made for yourselves a molten calf; ye had quickly turned aside from the way which Jehovah had commanded you.
Anis nan arge; kunoo isin Waaqayyo Waaqa keessanitti cubbuu hojjettanii turtan; isin bifa jabbiitiin Waaqa baqfamee hojjetame ofii keessaniif tolfattanii turtan. Isin daftanii karaa Waaqayyo isin ajaje irraa jalʼattan.
17 And I seized the two tables, and cast them out of my two hands, and broke them before your eyes.
Kanaafuu ani gabateewwan lamaan sana harka koo irraa darbadhee ijuma keessan duratti nan caccabse.
18 And I fell down before Jehovah, as at the first, forty days and forty nights, — I ate no bread and drank no water, — because of all your sin which ye had sinned, in doing what is evil in the eyes of Jehovah, to provoke him to anger.
Sababii cubbuu isin hojjettan hundaa kan isin fuula Waaqayyoo duratti waan hamaa hojjechuudhaan dheekkamsaaf isa kakaaftan sanaatiif ani ammas fuula Waaqayyoo duratti gombifamee utuun buddeena hin nyaatinii fi bishaan hin dhugin guyyaa afurtamaa fi halkan afurtaman ture.
19 For I was afraid of the anger and fury wherewith Jehovah was wroth against you to destroy you. And Jehovah listened unto me also at that time.
Sababii inni isin balleessuuf aaree tureef, ani aarii fi dheekkamsa Waaqayyoo nan sodaadhe. Waaqayyo garuu amma illee na dhagaʼe.
20 And with Aaron Jehovah was very angry to destroy him; and I prayed for Aaron also at the same time.
Waaqayyo Aroonin balleessuuf akka malee itti aaree ture; ani garuu yeroo sana Arooniifis nan kadhadhe.
21 And I took your sin, the calf which ye had made, and burned it with fire, and crushed it, and ground it very small, until it became fine dust; and I cast the dust thereof into the brook that flowed down from the mountain.
Akkasumas ani cubbuu keessan bifa jabbii isin tolfattan sanaa fuudhee ibiddaan nan gube. Caccabsees hamma inni bullaaʼaa akka awwaaraa taʼutti bulleessee burqaa tulluu irraa gad yaaʼuttan firfirse.
22 And at Taberah, and at Massah, and at Kibroth-hattaavah, ye provoked Jehovah to wrath.
Isinis Tabeeraatti, Maasaahii fi Qiibrooti Hataawaatti Waaqayyo dheekkamsiiftan.
23 And when Jehovah sent you from Kadesh-barnea, saying, Go up and take possession of the land which I have given you, ye rebelled against the word of Jehovah your God, and ye believed him not, nor hearkened to his voice.
Waaqayyo yommuu Qaadesh Barneetii isin baasetti, “Ol baʼaatii biyya ani isiniif kenne sana dhaalaa” isiniin jedhe. Isin garuu ajaja Waaqayyo Waaqa keessaniitti finciltan. Isas hin amananne; hin ajajamneefis.
24 Ye have been rebellious against Jehovah from the day that I knew you.
Isin erga ani isin beekee jalqabdanii Waaqayyotti finciltaniirtu.
25 So I fell down before Jehovah the forty days and forty nights, as I fell down; for Jehovah had said he would destroy you.
Sababii Waaqayyo akka isin balleessu dubbatee tureef ani guyyaa afurtamaa fi halkan afurtaman sana fuula Waaqayyoo duratti lafatti nan gombifame.
26 I prayed therefore to Jehovah, and said, Lord Jehovah, destroy not thy people and thine inheritance, which thou hast redeemed through thy greatness, which thou hast brought forth out of Egypt with a powerful hand.
Anis akkana jedheen Waaqayyoon kadhadhe; “Yaa Waaqayyo Gooftaa, ati saba kee, dhaala kee kan humna kee guddichaa fi harka kee jabaadhaan furtee biyya Gibxii baafte kana hin balleessin.
27 Remember thy servants Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; look not at the stubbornness of this people, nor at their wickedness, nor at their sin;
Garboota kee Abrahaam, Yisihaaqii fi Yaaqoobin yaadadhu. Mata jabina saba kanaa, hammina isaatii fi cubbuu isaa hin ilaalin.
28 lest the land whence thou broughtest us out say, Because Jehovah was not able to bring them into the land which he had promised them, and because he hated them, he hath brought them out to kill them in the wilderness.
Yoo kanaa achii biyyi ati keessaa nu baafte sun, ‘Waaqayyo waan biyya waadaa isaaniif gale sanatti isaan galchuu hin dandeenyee fi waan isaan jibbeef gammoojjii keessatti isaan fixuuf isaan baase’ jedha.
29 They are indeed thy people and thine inheritance, which thou broughtest out with thy great power and with thy stretched-out arm.
Isaan garuu saba keetii fi dhaala kee kan ati humna jabaa fi irree diriirfameen baaftee fiddee dha.”
