Joshua 23
1 And it came to pass after many days, after the Lord had given rest unto Israel from all their enemies round about, and Joshua had grown old and was well stricken in age,
Erga barri dheeraan darbee Waaqayyos diinota isaan marsan hunda irraa Israaʼeloota boqochiisee booddee Iyyaasuun bara dheeraa jiraatee dulloome;
2 That Joshua called for all Israel, for their elders, and for their heads, and for their judges, and for their officers, and said unto them, I am become old and well stricken in age;
innis Israaʼeloota hunda jechuunis maanguddoota isaanii, hooggantoota isaanii, abbootii murtii isaaniitii fi qondaaltota isaanii ofitti waamee akkana jedheen: “Kunoo ani bara dheeraa jiraadhee dulloomeera.
3 And ye have yourselves seen all that the Lord your God hath done unto all these nations, because of you; for the Lord your God it is that hath fought for you.
Isin mataan keessanuu waan Waaqayyo Waaqni keessan isiniif jedhee saboota kana godhe hundumaa argitaniirtu; Waaqayyo Waaqa keessantu isiniif lole.
4 Behold, I have divided unto you by lot those nations that yet remain, to be an inheritance according to your tribes, from the Jordan, with all the nations that I have cut off, as far as the great sea, toward the setting of the sun.
Akka ani itti biyya saboota hafanii jechuunis biyya saboota ani Yordaanosii jalqabee hamma lixa Galaana Guddichaatti moʼadhe sanaa hunda gosoota keessaniif dhaala godhee kenne mee yaadadhaa.
5 And the Lord your God will indeed expel them from before you, and drive them out from before you; and ye shall possess their land, as the Lord your God hath spoken unto you.
Waaqayyo Waaqni keessan mataan isaa iyyuu fuula keessan duraa ariʼee isaan baasa. Inni fuula keessan duraa dhiibee isaan baasa; isin immoo akkuma Waaqayyo Waaqni keessan isin abdachiise sanatti biyya isaanii qabattu.
6 But be ye very steadfast to keep and to do all that is written in the book of the law of Moses, so as not to turn aside therefrom to the right or to the left;
“Jabaadhaa dhaabadhaa; akka waan Kitaaba Seera Musee keessatti barreeffame hunda, utuu gara mirgaatti yookaan bitaatti hin jalʼatin jabeessaa eegaa.
7 So as not to come among these nations, those that are left remaining near you; and of the name of their gods shall ye not make mention, nor cause any to swear thereby, neither shall ye serve them, nor bow yourselves down unto them;
Saboota gidduu keessanitti hafan kanneenitti hin makaminaa; maqaa waaqota isaanii hin dhaʼinaa yookaan ittiin hin kakatinaa. Waaqota sana hin tajaajilinaa yookaan isaaniif hin sagadinaa.
8 But unto the Lord your God shall ye cleave, as ye have done unto this day.
Garuu akkuma hamma harʼaatti gochaa turtan sana jabaadhaa Waaqayyo Waaqa keessanitti maxxanaa.
9 And the Lord drove out from before you great and mighty nations; but as for you, no man hath been able to stand up before you unto this day.
“Waaqayyo saboota gurguddaa fi humna qabeeyyii fuula keessan duraa ariʼee baaseera; hamma ammaatti namni tokko iyyuu isin dura dhaabachuu hin dandeenye.
10 One man of you can chase a thousand; for the Lord your God it is that fighteth for you, as he hath spoken unto you.
Sababii Waaqayyo Waaqni keessan akkuma waadaa gale sana isinii loluuf namni keessan tokkichi nama kuma tokko ariʼa.
11 Take good heed therefore for your souls' sake, to love the Lord your God.
Kanaafuu Waaqayyo Waaqa keessan cimsaa jaalladhaa.
12 For if ye do in any wise turn back, and cleave unto the remnant of these nations, those that are left remaining near you, and make marriages with them, and come in among them, and they among you:
“Garuu yoo isin karaa irraa jalʼattanii hambaa saboota gidduu keessan jiraatan kanneeniitti maxxantan, yoo isin isaaniin walfuutanii isaanitti makamtan,
13 Know for a certainty that the Lord your God will no more drive out these nations from before you; but they shall be snares and traps unto you, and scourges in your sides, and stings in your eyes, until ye perish from off this good land which the Lord your God hath given you.
akka Waaqayyo Waaqni keessan siʼachi saboota kanneen isin duraa ariʼee hin baafne beekkadhaa. Qooda kanaa isaan hamma isin biyya gaarii Waaqayyo Waaqni keessan isiniif kenne kana keessaa dhumtanitti iddaa fi kiyyoo isinitti taʼu; dugda keessanitti qaccee, ija keessanittis qoraattii taʼu.
14 And, behold, I am going this day the way of all the earth; and ye know with all your heart and with all your soul, that not one thing hath failed of all the good things which the Lord your God spoke concerning you: all are come to pass unto you, not one thing thereof hath failed.
“Kunoo ani karaa lafa hundaa deemuufin jira. Akka waadaa gaarii Waaqayyo Waaqni keessan isiniif gale hunda keessaa tokko iyyuu utuu hin guutamin hafee hin jirre isin garaa keessan guutuu fi lubbuu keessan guutuudhaan ni beektu. Waadaan hundi guutameera; tokko iyyuu hin hirʼanne.
15 But it shall come to pass, that as every good thing is come upon you, which the Lord your God spoke unto you: so will the Lord bring upon you every evil thing, until he have destroyed you from off this good land which the Lord your God hath given unto you.
Garuu akkuma waadaan gaariin Waaqayyo Waaqa keessanii hundi guutame sana, Waaqayyo akkasuma waan hamaa ittiin isin sodaachise sana hunda hamma biyya gaarii isinii kenne kana irraa isin fixutti isinitti fida.
16 When ye transgress the covenant of the Lord your God, which he hath commanded you, and go and serve other gods, and bow yourselves down to them: then will the anger of the Lord be kindled against you, and ye shall perish quickly from off the good land which he hath given unto you.
Yoo isin kakuu Waaqayyo Waaqni keessan isin ajaje cabsitanii dhaqxanii waaqota biraa tajaajiltanii fi isaaniif sagaddan dheekkamsi Waaqayyoo isinitti bobaʼa; isinis biyya gaarii inni isinii kenne sana irraa daftanii ni baddu.”
