< Deuteronomy 7 >
1 When the LORD thy God shall bring thee into the land whither thou goest to possess it, and hath cast out many nations before thee, the Hittites, and the Girgashites, and the Amorites, and the Canaanites, and the Perrizites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, seven nations greater and mightier than thou;
Yommuu Waaqayyo Waaqni kee biyya ati dhaaluuf itti galaa jirtu kanatti si fidee saboota hedduu jechuunis Heetota, Girgaashota, Amoorota, Kanaʼaanota, Feerzota, Hiiwotaa fi Yebuusota jechuunis saboota isin caalaa gurguddaa fi jajjaboo torba fuula kee duraa ariʼee baasutti,
2 And when the LORD thy God shall deliver them before thee, thou shalt smite them [and] utterly destroy them, thou shalt make no covenant with them, nor show mercy to them:
yommuu Waaqayyo Waaqni kee dabarsee isaan siif kennee atis isaan moʼattutti, guutumaan guutuutti isaan barbadeessi. Isaan wajjin kakuu tokko illee hin seenin; garaas isaanii hin laafin.
3 Neither shalt thou make marriages with them; thy daughter thou shalt not give to his son, nor his daughter shalt thou take to thy son.
Isaanitti hin soddoomin; ilmaan isaaniitiif intallan kee hin kennin yookaan intallan isaanii ilmaan keetiif hin fidin;
4 For they will turn away thy son from following me, that they may serve other gods: so will the anger of the LORD be kindled against you, and destroy thee suddenly.
sababiin isaas isaan ilmaan kee na duukaa buʼuu irraa deebisanii akka isaan waaqota biraa tajaajilan godhu; dheekkamsi Waaqayyoos sitti bobaʼee dafee si balleessa.
5 But thus shall ye deal with them; ye shall destroy their altars, and break down their images, and cut down their groves, and burn their graven images with fire.
Wanni isin isaan gochuu qabdan kana: iddoowwan aarsaa isaanii diigaa; siidaawwan waaqeffannaa isaanii caccabsaa; utubaawwan Aasheeraa isaaniis jijjigsaa; waaqota isaaniis ibiddaan gubbaa.
6 For thou [art] a holy people to the LORD thy God: the LORD thy God hath chosen thee to be a special people to himself, above all people that [are] upon the face of the earth.
Ati saba Waaqayyo Waaqa keetiif qulqulluu taatee dha. Waaqayyo Waaqni kee akka ati saba isaatii fi qabeenya isaa jaallatamaa taatuuf jedhee saboota lafa irra jiraatan hunda keessaa si filate.
7 The LORD did not set his love upon you, nor choose you, because ye were more in number than any people; for ye [were] the fewest of all people:
Wanni Waaqayyo isin jaallatee isin filateef waan isin saboota kaan caalaa baayʼee taataniif miti; isin saboota hunda caalaa xinnoo turtan.
8 But because the LORD loved you, and because he would keep the oath which he had sworn to your fathers, hath the LORD brought you out with a mighty hand, and redeemed you from the house of bond-men, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt.
Garuu wanni Waaqayyo harka jabaadhaan isin baasee biyya garbummaatii fi irree Faraʼoon mooticha Gibxi jalaa isin fureef sababii isin jaallatee kakuu abbootii keessan wajjin gale sana eegeef.
9 Know therefore that the LORD thy God, he [is] God, the faithful God, who keepeth covenant and mercy with them that love him and keep his commandments to a thousand generations:
Kanaafuu akka Waaqayyo Waaqni kee Waaqa taʼe beeki; inni Waaqa amanamaa warra isa jaallatanii ajaja isaas eeganiif kakuu fi araara isaa hamma dhaloota kumaatti eeguu dha.
10 And repayeth them that hate him to their face, to destroy them: he will not be slack to him that hateth him, he will repay him to his face.
Warra isa jibban garuu, balleessuuf gatii isaanii mataa isaaniitti deebisa; nama isa jibbus gatii isaa mataa isaatti deebisuudhaaf lafa irra hin harkifatu.
11 Thou shalt therefore keep the commandments, and the statutes, and the judgments, which I command thee this day, to do them.
Kanaafuu ati ajajawwan, qajeelchawwanii fi seerawwan ani harʼa siif kennu kanneen eegi.
12 Wherefore it shall come to pass, if ye hearken to these judgments, and keep, and do them, that the LORD thy God will keep to thee the covenant and the mercy which he swore to thy fathers:
Yoo ati seerawwan kanneeniif xiyyeeffannaa kennitee of eeggannaadhaan duukaa buute, Waaqayyo Waaqni kee akkuma abbootii keetiif kakate sana kakuu fi araara isaa siifis ni eega.
13 And he will love thee, and bless thee, and multiply thee: he will also bless thy children, and the fruit of thy land, thy corn, and thy wine, and thy oil, the increase of thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep, in the land which he swore to thy fathers to give thee.
Inni si jaallata; si eebbisa; si baayʼisas. Biyya siif kennuuf abbootii keetiif kakuu gale keessatti ija garaa keetii, oomisha lafa keetii jechuunis midhaan, wayinii haaraa fi zayitii, jabbiiwwan loon keetii, xobbaallaawwan bushaayee keetii siif eebbisa.
14 Thou shalt be blessed above all people: there shall not be male or female barren among you, or among your cattle.
Ati saboota kam iyyuu caalaa ni eebbifamta; dhiira yookaan dubartii kee keessaa tokko illee ijoollee hin dhabu yookaan loon kee keessaa tokko illee hin maseenu.
15 And the LORD will take away from thee all sickness, and will put none of the evil diseases of Egypt (which thou knowest) upon thee; but will lay them upon all [them] that hate thee.
Waaqayyo dhukkuba hunda sirraa fuudha. Inni dhukkuboota suukaneessaa ati biyya Gibxitti argite sana warra si jibbanitti fida malee sitti hin fidu.
16 And thou shalt consume all the people which the LORD thy God shall deliver to thee; thy eye shall have no pity upon them: neither shalt thou serve their gods; for that [will be] a snare to thee.
Ati saboota Waaqayyo Waaqni kee dabarsee sitti kennu hunda balleessuu qabda. Ati isaaniif garaa hin laafin; kuni kiyyoo sitti taʼaatii waaqota isaanii hin waaqeffatin.
17 If thou shalt say in thy heart, These nations [are] more than I, how can I dispossess them?
Ati, “Saboonni kunneen nu caalaa jajjaboo dha; nu akkamitti isaan baafna?” jettee yaadda taʼa.
18 Thou shalt not be afraid of them: [but] shalt well remember what the LORD thy God did to Pharaoh, and to all Egypt;
Garuu ati isaan hin sodaatin; waan Waaqayyo Waaqni kee Faraʼoonii fi guutummaa Gibxitti hojjete sana yaadadhu.
19 The great temptations which thy eyes saw, and the signs, and the wonders, and the mighty hand, and the out-stretched arm, by which the LORD thy God brought thee out: so shall the LORD thy God do to all the people of whom thou art afraid.
Ati qormaatawwan gurguddaa, mallattoowwanii fi dinqiiwwan, harka jabaa fi irree diriirfame kan Waaqayyo Waaqni kee ittiin si baase sana ijuma keetiin argiteerta. Waaqayyo Waaqni kee saboota ati amma sodaattu hundas akkasuma godha.
20 Moreover, the LORD thy God will send the hornet among them, until they that are left, and hide themselves from thee, shall be destroyed.
Kana caalaa iyyuu Waaqayyo Waaqni kee hamma warri lubbuudhaan hafanii si duraa dhokatan iyyuu barbadaaʼanitti gidduu isaaniitti sonsa ni erga.
21 Thou shalt not be affrighted at them: for the LORD thy God [is] among you, a mighty God and terrible.
Sababii Waaqayyo Waaqni kee inni gidduu kee jiru sun Waaqa guddaa fi sodaachisaa taʼeef isaan hin sodaatin.
22 And the LORD thy God will drive out those nations before thee by little and little: thou mayest not consume them at once, lest the beasts of the field increase upon thee.
Waaqayyo Waaqni kee saboota sana xinnoo xinnoodhaan fuula kee duraa ni baasa; akka bineensonni bosonaa naannoo keetti hin baayʼanneef yeruma tokkotti isaan balleesuun siif hin eeyyamamu.
23 But the LORD thy God shall deliver them to thee, and shall destroy them with a mighty destruction, until they are destroyed.
Waaqayyo Waaqni kee garuu hamma isaan badanitti isaan raatessuudhaan dabarsee harka keetti isaan kenna.
24 And he shall deliver their kings into thy hand, and thou shalt destroy their name from under heaven: there shall no man be able to stand before thee, until thou shalt have destroyed them.
Mootota isaaniis dabarsee sitti kenna; atis maqaa isaanii samii jalaa ni balleessita. Hamma ati isaan balleessitutti namni fuula kee dura dhaabachuu dandaʼu tokko iyyuu hin jiru.
25 The graven images of their gods shall ye burn with fire: thou shalt not desire the silver or gold [that is] on them, nor take [it] to thee, lest thou shouldst be snared in it: for it [is] an abomination to the LORD thy God.
Fakkii waaqota isaanii ibiddaan gubi; meetii fi warqee isaan irra jiru hin hawwin; ofii keetiifis hin fudhatin; yoo kanaa achii inni sababii fuula Waaqayyo Waaqa keetii duratti jibbisiisaa taʼeef kiyyoo sitti taʼa.
26 Neither shalt thou bring an abomination into thy house, lest thou shouldst be a cursed thing like it: [but] thou shalt utterly detest it, and thou shalt utterly abhor it; for it [is] a cursed thing.
Waan jibbisiisaa gara mana keetiitti hin galchin; yoo kanaa achii atis akkuma isaa badiisaaf addaan baafamta. Waan inni badiisaaf addaan baafameef ati guutumaan guutuutti isa jibbi; balfis.
