Deuteronomy 9
1 “You people of Israel, listen to me! You will soon [HYP] cross the Jordan [River]. In the land that you will enter, there are large cities that have very high walls [around them] that [seem to] [HYP] extend up to the sky. There are people-groups in that land that are more numerous and more powerful than you are.
Isala: ili fi nabima! Wali eso dilia da Yodane Hano degemusa: ouesala. Dilia da dunu fi amo ilia idi da dilia idi amo baligisa, amo ilia soge gesowale fimu. Ilia moilai bai bagade da bagadedafa, amola ilia gagili sali dobea da muagado agoane heda: sa.
2 Those people are very tall and strong. [Some of them] are giants who are descendants of Anak. You know about them, and you have heard people say that no one [RHQ] can defeat the descendants of Anak.
Dunu da sedade amola gasa bagade. Ilia da dunu bagade amola dilia da nabi eno dunu da ilima hasalasimu da hamedei.
3 But I want you to know that Yahweh our God will go ahead of you. He will be like a raging/roaring fire. While you advance, he will defeat and destroy them. As a result, you will quickly be able to expel some of them and kill the others, which is what Yahweh promised that you would do.
Be wali dilisu da ba: mu. Hina Gode da nimi bagade lalu defele dilima bisimu. Dilia da gusuba: i ahoasea, E da ili fane legemu. Amasea, E da dilima ilegele sia: i defele, dilia da ili gadili sefasili, hedolowane gugunufinisimu.
4 “After Yahweh our God has expelled them for you, do not say to yourselves, ‘It is because we are righteous that Yahweh has enabled us to capture this land.’ The truth is that it is because the people in that land are wicked that Yahweh will expel them as you advance.
Be Hina Gode da dili fidima: ne amo dunu fi gadili sefasi dagoi ba: sea, E da dilisu hou noga: idafa hamoiba: le, dili gesowale fimusa: ganodini oule misi mae sia: ma. Hame mabu! Hina Gode da amo dunu fi da wadela: idafa hamobeba: le, E da amo dunu fi gadili sefasimu.
5 [I say again that] it is not because you are righteous or because you do things that are righteous that you will enter and capture that land. It is because those people-groups are very wicked that Yahweh our God will expel them as you advance, and because he intends to do what he vowed to your ancestors Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob that he would do.
Hina Gode da dilia amo fi ilia soge lama: ne, logo doasisa. Be bai dilia da dunu ida: iwane amola hou noga: i fawane hamosa amo hame. Amo dunu fi da wadela: idafaba: le amola Hina Gode da Ea musa dilia aowalali A: ibalaha: me, Aisage amola Ya: igobe ilima ilegele sia: i dagoiba: le, E da amo dunu fi gadili sefasimu.
6 I want you to know that it is not because you are righteous that Yahweh our God is giving you this good/fertile land. I say that because [you are not righteous]; you are a very stubborn [IDM] people.”
Dilia dabe ida: iwane lama: ne noga: le hamoi dagoiba: le, Hina Gode da amo soge dilima iaha, amo mae dawa: ma! Hame mabu! Dilia da hame nabasu dunu fi.
7 “Never forget what your ancestors did in the desert that caused Yahweh our God to become angry. From the day that we left Egypt until the day that we arrived here, you and your ancestors have continually rebelled against him.
Dilia hou hamobeba: le, Hina Gode da hafoga: i soge ganodini ougi bagade galu. Amo mae gogolema! Dilia da Idibidi soge fisili, amo esoganini dilia da Gode Ea sia: hame nabasu.
8 Even at Sinai [Mountain] your ancestors caused Yahweh to become angry. Because he was very angry, he was ready to get rid of [all of] them.
Amola Sainai Goumi amoga dilia hou hamobeba: le, Hina Gode da dilima ougi galu. E da dili gugunufinisimusa: amo defele ougi galu.
9 When I climbed the mountain to receive from him the stone tablets on which he had written the Ten Commandments that he was giving to them, I stayed there 40 days and nights, and [during that time] I did not eat or drink anything.
Na da gele gasui amoga Hina Gode Ea gousa: su E dilima hamoi dedei dagoi, amo lamusa: goumiba: le heda: i. Na da amogawi eso 40amola gasi 40, ha: i amola hano mae nawane esalu.
10 Yahweh gave me the two stone tablets on which he had written [the commandments] with his own fingers. They were the words/commandments that he had spoken to your ancestors from the fire on that mountain, when they were gathered together [at the bottom of the mountain].
Amalalu, Hina Gode da gele gasui aduna nama i. Amoga Ea sia: E da musa: dilia da goumia gilisisu E da laluga amodili dilima sia: i, amo Ea loboga gele gasuiga dedei ba: i.
11 “At the end of those 40 days and nights, Yahweh gave me those two stone tablets on which he had written those commandments.
Dafawane! Amo eso 40amola gasi 40da dagoloba, Hina Gode da amo gousa: su E da gele gasuiga dedei amo nama i.
12 But then he said to me, ‘Go down the mountain immediately, because [the people whom you are leading], the people whom you led out of Egypt, have committed a terrible sin! They have very quickly done what I commanded them not to do. They have made for themselves a metal statue [of a calf to worship].’
Amalalu, Hina Gode da nama amane sia: i, ‘Hedolo! Goumiba: le sa: ima! Bai dia fi amo di da Idibidi soge yolesimusa: gadili oule asi amo da ilia hou gugunufinisi dagoi. Ilia da Na sia: mae nabawane, sinidigili, loboga hamoi ‘gode’ liligi amoma sia: ne gadomusa: hamoi dagoi.’
13 Then Yahweh said to me, ‘I have been watching these people, and I see that they are very stubborn.
Hina Gode da eno nama amane sia: i, ‘Amo dunu ilia ga: nasi hame nabasu hou Na dawa: !
14 So do not try to stop me. I am going to destroy all of them, with the result that no one anywhere will remember (their names [MTY]/that they ever existed). Then I will enable you to become [the ancestor of] a nation that will be more numerous and more powerful than they are.’
Na logo mae damuma! Na da amo dunu fi fane legemu. Amasea, fa: no dunu huluane da amo fi bu hame dawa: mu. Amasea, Na da di amo dunu fi guiguda: esala ilia idi amola ilia gasa baligisu, fi gaheabolo dia fi hamomu.’
15 So I turned and went down the mountain, carrying in my hands the two stone tablets on which the Ten Commandments were [written]. Fire was burning all over the mountain.
Amalalu, na da sinidigili, gele gasui aduna amoga gousa: su dedei amo gaguiwane goumiba: le sa: i. Lalu gona: su amo goumia manebe ba: i.
16 I looked, and I was shocked to see that your ancestors had committed a [great] sin against Yahweh. They very quickly had begun to do what Yahweh our God had commanded them not to do. They had [requested Aaron to] make for them [a metal image of] a calf [to worship].
Dilia da Hina Gode Ea hamoma: ne sia: i amo hame nabasu amola bulamagau mano gouliga hamoi dagoi, amo na ba: i dagoi.
17 So while they were watching, I lifted up those two stone tablets and threw them [on the ground], and they broke into pieces.
Amaiba: le, dilia midadi na da gele gasui amo galaguduli goudane dagoi.
18 Then I (prostrated myself/lay) on the ground in Yahweh’s presence as I had done before, and I did not eat or drink anything for 40 days and nights. I did that because your ancestors had sinned against Yahweh and caused him to become very angry.
Amalalu, na da osoboga diasa: ili, na odagi osoboga doaga: le, eso 40amola gasi 40, ha: i amola hano mae nawane, Hina Gode ba: ma: ne ouesalu. Bai dilia da Hina Godema ougima: ne wadela: le hamoi.
19 I was afraid/worried that because Yahweh was very angry with them, he would get rid of all of them. [But again I prayed that he would not do that], and again he listened to me [and answered my prayer].
Hina Gode Ea ougi da gia: i bagadeba: le, E da dili huluane gugunufinisimusa: dawa: i. Amaiba: le, na da bagadewane beda: i galu. Be Hina Gode da na sia: bu nabi.
20 Yahweh was also very angry with Aaron [for making that golden calf] and was ready to kill Aaron. But at the same time I prayed for Aaron also, [and Yahweh answered my prayer].
Hina Gode da Elanema ougiba: le, E da Elane amola medole legemusa: defele ba: i. Amaiba: le, na da Elane gaga: musa: sia: ne gadoi.
21 Your ancestors had sinned by [requesting Aaron to] make [a metal statue of] a calf. So I took that statue and [I melted it] in a fire and crushed it and ground it into very tiny pieces [HYP]. Then I threw those tiny pieces into the stream that flowed down the mountain.
Na da dilia hamoi liligi, amo wadela: i gouli bulamagau mano agoaila: , amo lale, lalu ganodini galadigi. Amalalu, amo liligi goudane, osobo su agoane hamone, hano amo da goumia dasu amo ganodini galadigi.
22 Your ancestors also caused Yahweh to become very angry [by what they did] at [places which they named] Taberah, Massah, and Kibroth-Hattaavah.
Amola dilia da Hina Gode ougima: ne eno hamoi. Dilia da Dabila, Masa amola Gibalode Ha: da: iafa amo sogega agoane hamosu.
23 And when we were at Kadesh-Barnea, Yahweh said to your ancestors, ‘Go up and capture the land that I am about to give to you!’ But they rebelled against him. They did not trust him, and they did not obey what he told [MTY] them to do.
Amola Ga: idesie Bania sogega, Hina Gode da soge E da dilima iaha amo dili lamusa: asunahoa, dilia da Ea sia: bu hame nabasu. Dilia da Ea sia: dafawaneyale hame dawa: su amola Ea sia: hame nabasu.
24 Your ancestors rebelled against Yahweh from the first day that I knew them, [in Egypt].
Eso huluane amoga na da dili dawa: , dilia da Hina Godema odoga: su hou hamosu.
25 So, [as I said], I lay on the ground in Yahweh’s presence for 40 days and nights, because Yahweh had said that he would get rid of your ancestors.
Amaiba: le, na da odagi osoboga diasa: ili, Hina Gode Ea midadi esalu. Bai E da dili gugunufinisimusa: dawa: beba: le, na da agoane hamosu.
26 And I prayed to Yahweh, saying, ‘Lord God, these people belong to you; do not destroy them. They are people whom you rescued and brought out of Egypt by your very great power. [DOU, MTY]
Amola na da amane sia: ne gadoi, ‘Hina Gode Bagadedafa. Dia fi dunu mae gugunufinisima. Amo fi Di fawane da Dia gasa bagade amoga gaga: le, Idibidi sogega fisili masa: ne gadili oule asi.
27 Do not forget [what you promised to] Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Please ignore these stubborn and wicked people and the sin that they have committed.
Dia hawa: hamosu dunu amo A: ibalaha: me, Aisage amola Ya: igobe ili bu dawa: ma. Amola amo dunu fi ilia hame nabasu amola ga: nasi si dofoi hou mae dawa: ma.
28 If you do not do that, [and if you get rid of them], the people of Egypt will [hear about it and] say that you were not able to bring them into the land that you promised to give to them. They will say that you took them into the desert only to kill them there because you hated them.
Idibidi dunu da Di da Dia fi dunu amo Dia sia: i soge amo ganodini oule masunu da hamedei, amo ilia da sia: sa: besa: le, Dia fi mae wadela: ma. Di da Dia fi ilima higabeba: le, Di da ili medole legemusa: wadela: i hafoga: i sogega oule asi dagoi, ilia da sia: mu.
29 [Do not forget that] they are your people. [You chose them to] belong to you. You brought them out [from Egypt] by your very great power [DOU, MTY].’”
Bu dawa: ma! Amo fi Di da Dia fidafa hamoma: ne ilegei dagoi. Di da amo fi Dia gasa bagade amoga Idibidi sogega fisili masa: ne gadili oule asi.’”
