Deuteronomy 27
1 Moses/I, along with the other Israeli leaders, said this to the people: “Obey all the commandments that I am giving to you today.
Musee fi maanguddoonni Israaʼel akkana jedhanii saba ajajan; “Ajajawwan ani harʼa isiniif kennu kanneen hunda eegaa.
2 [Soon] you will cross the Jordan [River] and enter the land that Yahweh, the God whom our ancestors [worshiped], promised to give to you. There, in that very fertile [IDM] land on the [west] side of the Jordan [River], set up some large stones [on Ebal Mountain], and cover them with plaster. Then write on those stones all these laws and teachings/instructions.
Erga biyya Waaqayyo Waaqni kee siif kennutti galuuf Yordaanos ceetanii booddee dhagoota gurguddaa dhaabiitii nooraa dibi.
Yommuu akkuma Waaqayyo Waaqni abbootii keetii si abdachiisetti biyya aannanii fi dammi keessaa burqu kan Waaqayyo Waaqni kee siif kennutti galuuf ceetutti dubbiiwwan seera kanaa hunda dhagoota irratti barreessi.
Ati erga Yordaanos ceetee booddee akkuma ani harʼa si ajajutti dhagoota kanneen Tulluu Eebaal irra dhaabii nooraa dibi.
5 And build a stone altar there to offer sacrifices to Yahweh, but do not cut those stones with iron tools.
Achittis Waaqayyo Waaqa keetiif iddoo aarsaa kan dhagaa irraa hojjetame dhaabi; miʼa sibiilaa tokko iyyuu hin fayyadamin.
6 The altar that you make to burn sacrifices to Yahweh our God must be made with uncut stones.
Iddoo aarsaa Waaqayyoo Waaqa keetii dhagaa hin soofaminiin hojjedhu; achi irrattis Waaqayyo Waaqa keetiif aarsaa gubamu dhiʼeessi.
7 And there you must sacrifice offerings to maintain fellowship with Yahweh, and you must eat [your share of those offerings] and rejoice/celebrate in the presence of Yahweh.
Achittis aarsaa nagaa qalii nyaadhuutii fuula Waaqayyo Waaqa keetii duratti gammadi.
8 And, when you write these laws on those stones, you must write them very clearly.”
Dhagoota irratti dubbiiwwan seera kanaa hunda ibsii barreessi.”
9 Then Moses/I, along with the priests, said to all the Israeli people, “You Israeli people, be quiet and listen [to what I am saying]. Today you have become the people who belong to Yahweh, our God.
Musee fi Lewwonni luboota taʼan Israaʼeloota hundaan akkana jedhan; “Yaa Israaʼel, calʼisii dhagaʼi! Ati harʼa saba Waaqayyo Waaqa keetii taateerta.
10 So, you must do what he tells you, and obey all the rules and regulations that I am giving to you today.”
Waaqayyo Waaqa keetiif ajajamiitii ajajawwan isaatii fi qajeelchawwan ani harʼa siif kennu dhagaʼi.”
11 On that same day Moses/I said to the Israeli people,
Museenis gaafasuma akkana jedhee saba ajaje:
12 “After you have crossed over the Jordan [River], the tribes of Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, Joseph, and Benjamin must stand on Gerizim Mountain and [request Yahweh to] bless the people.
Yommuu isin Yordaanosin ceetanitti gosoonni Simiʼoon, Lewwii, Yihuudaa, Yisaakor, Yoosefii fi kan Beniyaam saba eebbisuuf gaara Gerziim irra haa dhaabatan.
13 And the tribes of Reuben, Gad, Asher, Zebulun, Dan, and Naphtali must stand on Ebal Mountain and listen to the things that Yahweh will do when he curses the people.
Gosoonni Ruubeen, Gaad, Aasheer, Zebuuloon, Daanii fi Niftaalem immoo abaaruuf Tulluu Eebaal irra haa dhaabatan.
14 The descendants of Levi must shout these words loudly:

“Namni fakkii soofu yookaan baqsee Waaqa tolfamaa jechuunis waan fuula Waaqayyoo duratti balfamaa taʼe hojjetu kan waan ogummaa harkaatiin hojjetame dhoksee ol dhaabu haa abaaramu.” Ergasiis sabni hundi, “Ameen!” haa jedhu.
