Joshua 22
1 Then Joshua called the Reubenites, and the Gadites, and the half tribe of Manasseh,
Ergasii Iyyaasuun gosa Ruubeen, gosa Gaadii fi walakkaa gosa Minaasee walitti waamee
2 and said unto them, Ye have kept all that Moses the servant of Jehovah commanded you, and have hearkened to my voice in all that I commanded you.
akkana jedheen; “Isin waan Museen garbichi Waaqayyoo ajaje hundumaa hojjettaniirtu; waan ani isin ajaje hundas naa ajajamtaniirtu.
3 Ye have not left your brethren these many days unto this day, and ye have kept the charge of the commandment of Jehovah your God.
Isin bara dheeraaf, hamma harʼaatti illee obboloota keessan hin daganne; ajaja Waaqayyo Waaqni keessan isinii kennes eegdaniirtu.
4 And now Jehovah your God hath given rest to your brethren, as he said unto them; and now return, and get you unto your tents, unto the land of your possession, which Moses the servant of Jehovah gave you beyond the Jordan.
Waaqayyo Waaqni keessan akkuma waadaa gale sanatti obboloota keessan boqochiiseera; isin biyya Museen garbichi Waaqayyoo Yordaanos gamaa isinii kenne sanatti gara mana keessaniitti deebiʼaa.
5 Only, take great heed to do the commandment and the law, which Moses the servant of Jehovah commanded you, to love Jehovah your God, and to walk in all his ways, and to keep his commandments, and to cleave unto him, and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul.
Garuu akka Waaqayyo Waaqa keessan jaallattaniif, akka karaa isaa hunda irra deemtaniif, akka ajajawwan isaa eegdaniif, akka isatti maxxantanii fi akka garaa keessan guutuu fi lubbuu keessan guutuudhaan isa tajaajiltaniif ajajaa fi seera Museen garbichi Waaqayyoo isinii kenne sana jabeessaa eegaa.”
6 And Joshua blessed them, and sent them away; and they went to their tents.
Ergasiis Iyyaasuun eebbisee gad isaan dhiise; isaanis gara mana isaaniitti deebiʼan.
7 And to half the tribe of Manasseh Moses had given [inheritance] in Bashan, and to the other half thereof had Joshua given among their brethren on this side the Jordan westward. And when Joshua sent them away to their tents, he blessed them also,
Museen walakkaa gosa Minaaseetiif Baashaan keessaa lafa kennee ture; Iyyaasuun immoo walakkaa kaaniif Yordaanosiin gama lixaatti obboloota isaanii cinatti lafa kenne. Iyyaasuun yommuu gara mana isaaniitti isaan ergetti isaan eebbise;
8 and spoke to them, saying, Return unto your tents with much wealth and with very much cattle, with silver, and with gold, and with copper, and with iron, and with clothing, in very great quantity; divide the spoil of your enemies with your brethren.
akkanas jedheen; “Qabeenya keessan guddaa jechuunis horii baayʼee, meetii, warqee, naasii fi sibiila akkasumas uffata baayʼee fudhadhaa galaatii boojuu diinota keessan irraa boojitan sana obboloota keessan wajjin qooddadhaa.”
9 And the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the half tribe of Manasseh returned, and departed from the children of Israel out of Shiloh, which is in the land of Canaan, to go to the country of Gilead, into the land of their possession, of which they had become possessed, according to the word of Jehovah through Moses.
Kanaafuu gosti Ruubeen, gosti Gaadii fi walakkaan gosa Minaasee gara biyya ofii isaanii gara Giliʼaad ishee akkuma Waaqayyo karaa Museetiin ajajetti argatan sanaatti deebiʼuuf jedhanii Shiiloo ishee Kanaʼaan keessaa sanatti Israaʼeloota dhiisanii deeman.
10 And they came to the districts of the Jordan that are in the land of Canaan; and the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the half tribe of Manasseh built there an altar by the Jordan, an altar of grand appearance.
Gosti Ruubeen, gostii Gaadii fi walakkaan gosa Minaasee yommuu Galiilooti biyya Kanaʼaan keessaa kan Yordaanos biraa sana gaʼanitti, iddoo aarsaa guddaa isaa Yordaanos biratti tolchan.
11 And the children of Israel heard say, Behold, the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the half tribe of Manasseh have built an altar over against the land of Canaan, in the districts of the Jordan, separately from the children of Israel.
Israaʼeloonni yommuu akka isaan gama Israaʼelootaatiin daarii Kanaʼaan irratti Galiilooti ishee Yordaanos cinaa sanatti iddoo aarsaa tolchan dhagaʼanitti,
12 And when the children of Israel heard [of it], the whole assembly of the children of Israel gathered together at Shiloh, to go up against them to war.
guutummaan waldaa Israaʼel isaanitti duuluuf Shiilootti walitti qabaman.
13 And the children of Israel sent to the children of Reuben, and to the children of Gad, and to the half tribe of Manasseh, into the land of Gilead, Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest,
Kanaafuu Israaʼeloonni Fiinehaas ilma Eleʼaazaar lubichaa sana gara gosa Ruubeen, gosa Gaadii fi gara walakkaa gosa Minaasee warra Giliʼaad keessa jiraatanitti ergan.
14 and with him ten princes, of each father's house a prince, out of all the tribes of Israel; and each of them was head of a father's house, of the thousands of Israel.
Isa wajjinis hangafoota kudhan, tokkoo tokkoo gosa Israaʼeliif nama tokko ergan; tokkoon tokkoon isaaniis hangafa balbala maatii Israaʼel.
15 And they came to the children of Reuben, and to the children of Gad, and to the half tribe of Manasseh, to the land of Gilead, and spoke with them, saying,
Isaanis Giliʼaaditti gosa Ruubeen, gosa Gaadii fi walakkaa gosa Minaasee bira dhufanii akkana isaaniin jedhan:
16 Thus saith the whole assembly of Jehovah: What wickedness is this which ye have committed against the God of Israel, to turn away this day from following Jehovah, in that ye have built yourselves an altar, rebelling this day against Jehovah?
“Guutummaan waldaa Waaqayyoo akkana jedha: ‘Isin akkamitti akkanaan amanamummaa Waaqa Israaʼel wajjin qabdan sana cabsitu? Isin akkamitti Waaqayyo irraa garagaltanii isatti finciluudhaan ofii keessaniif iddoo aarsaa tolfattu?
17 Is the iniquity of Peor too little for us? from which we are not cleansed until this day, although there was a plague in the assembly of Jehovah.
Cubbuun Pheʼoor keessatti hojjetame sun nu hin gaʼuu? Dhaʼichi saba Waaqayyoo irra buʼu iyyuu, nu hamma harʼaatti cubbuu sana irraa of hin qulqulleessine.
18 And ye turn away this day from following Jehovah; and it will be, that since ye rebel this day against Jehovah, to-morrow he will be wroth with the whole assembly of Israel.
Isin ammas Waaqayyo irraa garagaluu keessanii? “‘Yoo isin harʼa Waaqayyotti finciltan inni immoo bori hawaasa Israaʼel hundatti ni dheekkama.
19 Notwithstanding, if the land of your possession is unclean, come over into the land of the possession of Jehovah, where Jehovah's tabernacle dwelleth, and take possession amongst us; but rebel not against Jehovah, and rebel not against us, in building for yourselves an altar besides the altar of Jehovah our God.
Yoo lafti isin qabattan sun xuroofte, gara lafa Waaqayyo iddoo dunkaanni Waaqayyoo dhaabatuu kottaatii nu wajjin lafa qoodadhaa. Garuu iddoo aarsaa Waaqayyo Waaqa keenyaa malee iddoo aarsaa biraa ofii keessanii tolfattanii Waaqayyotti yookaan nutti hin fincilinaa.
20 Did not Achan the son of Zerah commit a trespass in the accursed thing? and wrath fell on all the assembly of Israel, and he perished not alone in his iniquity.
Yeroo Aakaan ilmi Zaaraa waan dhowwamaa taʼe fudhachuudhaan cubbuu hojjetetti waldaa Israaʼel hundatti dheekkamsi hin dhufnee? Namni sababii cubbuu isaatiin duʼe isa qofa miti.’”
21 And the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the half tribe of Manasseh answered and said to the heads of the thousands of Israel,
Kana irratti gosti Ruubeen, gosti Gaadii fi walakkaan gosa Minaasee akkana jedhanii hangafoota maatiiwwan Israaʼeliif deebisan;
22 The God of gods, Jehovah, the God of gods, Jehovah, he knoweth, and Israel he shall know [it]; if it is in rebellion, or if in trespass against Jehovah, — save us not this day!
“Waaqayyo Waaqni waaqotaa, Waaqayyo Waaqni waaqotaa ni beeka! Israaʼelis haa beeku! Yoo wanni kun Waaqayyotti finciluuf yookaan isaa ajajamuu diduuf taʼe harʼa nu hin hambisin.
23 — that we have built for ourselves an altar to turn from following Jehovah, and if it is to offer up burnt-offering and oblation on it, and if to offer peace-offerings thereon, let Jehovah himself require it [from us];
Yoo nu Waaqayyo irraa deebiʼuuf jennee, aarsaa gubamuu fi kennaa midhaanii, yookaan aarsaa nagaa achi irratti dhiʼeessuuf iddoo aarsaa ofii keenyaa tolfannee jiraanne, Waaqayyo mataan isaa itti nu haa gaafatu.
24 and if we have not done it from fear of this thing, saying, In future your children will speak to our children, saying, What have ye to do with Jehovah the God of Israel?
“Sababiin nu waan kana gooneef ijoolleen keessan gara fuula duraatti ijoollee keenyaan akkana jedhu taʼa jennee sodaannee ti; ‘Isin Waaqayyo Waaqa Israaʼel irraa maali qabdu?
25 Jehovah hath made the Jordan a border between us and you, ye children of Reuben and children of Gad, ye have no portion in Jehovah! And so shall your children make our children cease from fearing Jehovah.
Waaqayyo nuu fi isin jechuunis isin gosa Ruubeenii fi gosa Gaad gidduu Yordaanos daarii godhee dhaabeera! Isin Waaqayyo irraa qooda tokko illee hin qabdan.’ Kanaafuu ijoolleen keessan akka ijoolleen keenya Waaqayyoon sodaachuu dhiisan godhu taʼa.
26 And we said, Let us now set to work to build an altar, not for burnt-offering, nor for sacrifice,
“Sababiin nu, ‘Kottaa qophoofnee iddoo aarsaa tokko tolfannaa; garuu iddoon aarsaa kun kan aarsaan gubamu yookaan qalmi irratti dhiʼeeffamuu miti’ jenneefis kanuma.
27 but to be a witness between us and you, and between our generations after us, that we might do service to Jehovah before him with our burnt-offerings, and with our sacrifices, and with our peace-offerings; that your children may not say to our children in future, Ye have no portion in Jehovah.
Karaa biraa immoo akka iddoon aarsaa kun akka nu aarsaa keenya kan gubamu, qalma keenyaa fi aarsaa nagaatiin iddoo qulqulluu isaatti Waaqayyoon waaqeffannuuf nu, isinii fi dhaloota dhufu gidduutti dhugaa baatuu taʼuuf. Kana booddee ijoolleen keessan ijoollee keenyaan, ‘Isin Waaqayyo irraa qooda tokko illee hin qabdan’ jechuu hin dandaʼan.
28 And we said, If it shall be that in future they so say to us and to our generations, we will say, Behold the pattern of the altar of Jehovah which our fathers made, not for burnt-offering, nor for sacrifice, but as a witness between us and you.
“Nus akkana jenne; ‘Yoo isaan baroota dhufuuf jiran keessa nuun yookaan dhaloota keenyaan akkas jedhan, mee fakkii iddoo aarsaa Waaqayyoo kan abbootiin keenya aarsaa gubamu yookaan qalma irratti dhiʼeessuuf utuu hin taʼin akka inni nuu fi isin gidduutti dhuga baatuu taʼuuf tolchan kana ilaalaa jennaan.’
29 Far be it from us that we should rebel against Jehovah, and turn this day from following Jehovah, in building an altar for burnt-offering, for oblation, and for sacrifice, besides the altar of Jehovah our God that is before his tabernacle.
“Iddoo aarsaa Waaqayyo Waaqa keenyaa kan dunkaana isaa qulqulluu dura dhaabatu sana malee harʼa iddoo aarsaa kan aarsaan gubamu, kennaan midhaaniitii fi qalmi irratti dhiʼeeffamu kan biraa tolchuudhaan Waaqayyotti fincillee isa irraa garagaluun nurraa haa fagaatu.”
30 And when Phinehas the priest and the princes of the assembly and the heads of the thousands of Israel that were with him heard the words that the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the children of Manasseh spoke, it was good in their sight.
Fiinehaas lubichi, qajeelchitoonni sabaatii fi hangafoonni maatiiwwan Israaʼel yommuu waan gosti Ruubeen, gosti Gaadii fi gosti Minaasee jedhan dhagaʼanitti ni gammadan.
31 And Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest said unto the children of Reuben, and to the children of Gad, and to the children of Manasseh, This day we perceive that Jehovah is among us, because ye have not committed this trespass against Jehovah: now have ye delivered the children of Israel out of the hand of Jehovah.
Fiinehaas ilmi Eleʼaazaar lubichaas ijoollee Ruubeeniin, ijoollee Gaadii fi ilmaan Minaaseetiin, “Nu harʼa sababii isin waan kana keessatti Waaqayyoof amanamummaa hin dhiisiniif akka Waaqayyo nu wajjin jiru beekneerra. Isin amma Israaʼeloota harka Waaqayyoo jalaa baaftaniirtu” jedhe.
32 And Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest, and the princes, returned from the children of Reuben, and from the children of Gad, out of the land of Gilead, to the land of Canaan, to the children of Israel, and brought them word again.
Ergasiis Fiinehaas ilmi Eleʼaazaar lubichaa fi qajeelchitoonni sun ijoollee Ruubeenii fi ijoollee Gaad wajjin Giliʼaaditti wal gaʼii godhatanii gara Kanaʼaanitti deebiʼanii oduu achii fidan Israaʼelootatti himan.
33 And the thing was good in the sight of the children of Israel, and the children of Israel blessed God, and no more said that they would go up in warfare against them, to destroy the land in which the children of Reuben and the children of Gad dwelt.
Isaanis oduu kana dhagaʼanii gammadanii Waaqa galateeffatan. Lammatas itti deebiʼanii waaʼee isaanitti duuluu fi biyya gosti Ruubeenii fi gosti Gaad keessa jiraatu sana balleessuu hin dubbanne.
34 And the children of Reuben and the children of Gad gave a name to the altar; for it is a witness between us that Jehovah is God.
Gosti Ruubeenii fi gosti Gaadis maqaa kanaan iddoo aarsaa sana moggaasan: Iddoon Aarsaa kun akka Waaqayyo Waaqa taʼe Nu Gidduutti Dhugaa Baatuu dha.
