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 to them, You have kept all that Moses the servant of the LORD commanded you, and have obeyed 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 You have not left your brothers these many days to this day, but have kept the charge of the commandment of the LORD your God.
Isin bara dheeraaf, hamma harʼaatti illee obboloota keessan hin daganne; ajaja Waaqayyo Waaqni keessan isinii kennes eegdaniirtu.
4 And now the LORD your God has given rest to your brothers, as he promised them: therefore now return you, and get you to your tents, and to the land of your possession, which Moses the servant of the LORD gave you on the other side 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 But take diligent heed to do the commandment and the law, which Moses the servant of the LORD charged you, to love the LORD your God, and to walk in all his ways, and to keep his commandments, and to hold to 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 So 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 Now to the one half of the tribe of Manasseh Moses had given possession in Bashan: but to the other half thereof gave Joshua among their brothers on this side Jordan westward. And when Joshua sent them away also to their tents, then he blessed them,
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 he spoke to them, saying, Return with much riches to your tents, and with very much cattle, with silver, and with gold, and with brass, and with iron, and with very much raiment: divide the spoil of your enemies with your brothers.
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, to the land of their possession, whereof they were possessed, according to the word of the LORD by the hand of 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 when they came to the borders of Jordan, that are in the land of Canaan, the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the half tribe of Manasseh built there an altar by Jordan, a great altar to see to.
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 borders of Jordan, at the passage of 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 congregation of the children of Israel gathered themselves together at Shiloh, to go up to war against them.
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 chief house a prince throughout all the tribes of Israel; and each one was an head of the house of their fathers among 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 they spoke with them, saying,
Isaanis Giliʼaaditti gosa Ruubeen, gosa Gaadii fi walakkaa gosa Minaasee bira dhufanii akkana isaaniin jedhan:
16 Thus says the whole congregation of the LORD, What trespass is this that you have committed against the God of Israel, to turn away this day from following the LORD, in that you have built you an altar, that you might rebel this day against the LORD?
“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 congregation of the LORD,
Cubbuun Pheʼoor keessatti hojjetame sun nu hin gaʼuu? Dhaʼichi saba Waaqayyoo irra buʼu iyyuu, nu hamma harʼaatti cubbuu sana irraa of hin qulqulleessine.
18 But that you must turn away this day from following the LORD? and it will be, seeing you rebel to day against the LORD, that to morrow he will be wroth with the whole congregation 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 be unclean, then pass you over to the land of the possession of the LORD, wherein the LORD’s tabernacle dwells, and take possession among us: but rebel not against the LORD, nor rebel against us, in building you an altar beside the altar of the LORD 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 congregation of Israel? and that man 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 Then 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 LORD God of gods, the LORD God of gods, he knows, and Israel he shall know; if it be in rebellion, or if in transgression against the LORD, (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 us an altar to turn from following the LORD, or if to offer thereon burnt offering or meat offering, or if to offer peace offerings thereon, let the LORD himself require it;
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 rather done it for fear of this thing, saying, In time to come your children might speak to our children, saying, What have you to do with the LORD 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 For the LORD has made Jordan a border between us and you, you children of Reuben and children of Gad; you have no part in the LORD: so shall your children make our children cease from fearing the LORD.
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 Therefore we said, Let us now prepare to build us 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 that it may be a witness between us, and you, and our generations after us, that we might do the service of the LORD 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 time to come, You have no part in the LORD.
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 Therefore said we, that it shall be, when they should so say to us or to our generations in time to come, that we may say again, Behold the pattern of the altar of the LORD, which our fathers made, not for burnt offerings, nor for sacrifices; but it is 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 God forbid that we should rebel against the LORD, and turn this day from following the LORD, to build an altar for burnt offerings, for meat offerings, or for sacrifices, beside the altar of the LORD 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 congregation and heads of the thousands of Israel which were with him, heard the words that the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the children of Manasseh spoke, it pleased them.
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 to the children of Reuben, and to the children of Gad, and to the children of Manasseh, This day we perceive that the LORD is among us, because you have not committed this trespass against the LORD: now you have delivered the children of Israel out of the hand of the LORD.
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 pleased the children of Israel; and the children of Israel blessed God, and did not intend to go up against them in battle, to destroy the land wherein the children of Reuben and Gad dwelled.
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 called the altar Ed: for it shall be a witness between us that the LORD 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.
