Deuteronomy 17
1 'Thou dost not sacrifice to Jehovah thy God ox or sheep in which there is a blemish — any evil thing; for it [is] the abomination of Jehovah thy God.
Sangaa yookaan hoolaa fafa yookaan hirʼina kam iyyuu qabu Waaqayyo Waaqa keetiif aarsaa hin dhiʼeessin; wanni akkasii isa biratti jibbisiisaa dhaatii.
2 'When there is found in thy midst, in one of thy cities which Jehovah thy God is giving to thee, a man or a woman who doth the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah thy God by transgressing His covenant,
Yoo dhiirri yookaan dubartiin magaalaawwan Waaqayyo Waaqni kee siif kennu keessaa tokko keessa gidduu kee jiraattu tokko kakuu isaa cabsuudhaan fuula Waaqayyo Waaqa keetii duratti waan hamaa hojjetee argame,
3 and he doth go and serve other gods, and doth bow himself to them, and to the sun, or to the moon, or to any of the host of the heavens, which I have not commanded —
yoo ajaja koo darbee waaqota ormaa waaqeffate, gad jedhee biiftuuf yookaan jiʼaaf yookaan urjiiwwan samiitiif sagadde,
4 and it hath been declared to thee, and thou hast heard, and hast searched diligently, and lo, truth; the thing is established; this abomination hath been done in Israel —
yoo wanni kun sitti himamee atis dhageesse, dubbicha gad qabii akka gaariitti qoradhu; yoo wanni jedhame sun dhugaa taʼee wanni jibbisiisaan akkasii Israaʼel keessatti hojjetamuun isaa mirkanaaʼe,
5 'Then thou hast brought out that man, or that woman, who hath done this evil thing, unto thy gates — the man or the woman — and thou hast stoned them with stones, and they have died.
namicha yookaan dubartii waan hamaa kana hojjette gara balbala magaalaa sanaatti geessiitii dhagaadhaan tumii ajjeesi.
6 By the mouth of two witnesses or of three witnesses is he who is dead put to death; he is not put to death by the mouth of one witness;
Namni duuti isaaf malu tokko dhuga baʼumsa nama lamaa yookaan sadiitiin haa ajjeefamu; garuu dhuga baʼumsa nama tokkoo qofaan namni kam iyyuu ajjeefamuu hin qabu.
7 the hand of the witnesses is on him, in the first place, to put him to death, and the hand of all the people last; and thou hast put away the evil thing out of thy midst.
Yommuu ajjeefamus jalqabatti harki dhuga baatotaa, itti aansee immoo kan sabaa isa irra haa buʼu; ati waan hamaa of keessaa baasuu qabda.
8 'When anything is too hard for thee for judgment, between blood and blood, between plea and plea, and between stroke and stroke — matters of strife within thy gates — then thou hast risen, and gone up unto the place on which Jehovah thy God doth fix,
Yoo dubbiiwwan murteessuuf rakkisaa taʼan mana murtii keetti dhiʼaatan jechuunis kan akka dhiiga dhangalaasuu, wal mormii seera tokkootii fi kan biraa, yookaan miidhaa dhagna irra gaʼu kan garaa garaa gidduutti wanni murtii kennuuf rakkisu yoo kaʼe, ati lafa Waaqayyo Waaqni kee filatutti geessi.
9 and hast come in unto the priests, the Levites, and unto the judge who is in those days, and hast inquired, and they have declared to thee the word of judgment,
Gara Lewwota warra luboota taʼaniitii fi qondaaltota yeroo sana hojii irra turanii dhaqi. Waaʼee dubbii sanaa isaaniin mariʼadhu; isaanis murtii isaa sitti himu.
10 and thou hast done according to the tenor of the word which they declare to thee ([they] of that place which Jehovah doth choose; and thou hast observed to do according to all that they direct thee.
Atis akkuma yaada isaan siif kennan sanaatti iddoo Waaqayyo filatutti murtii kennuu qabda. Waan hunda qajeelfama isaan siif kennaniin hojjedhu.
11 'According to the tenor of the law which they direct thee, and according to the judgment which they say to thee thou dost do; thou dost not turn aside from the word which they declare to thee, right or left.
Akka seera isaan si barsiisaniittii fi akka qajeelfama isaan siif kennaniitti hojjedhu. Waan isaan sitti himan irraa mirgatti yookaan bitaatti hin gorin.
12 And the man who acteth with presumption, so as not to hearken unto the priest (who is standing to serve there Jehovah thy God), or unto the judge, even that man hath died, and thou hast put away the evil thing from Israel,
Namni abbaa seeraa yookaan luba Waaqayyo Waaqa kee tajaajiluuf achi dhaabatu tuffatu haa ajjeefamu. Ati waan hamaa Israaʼel keessaa baasuu qabda.
13 and all the people do hear and fear, and do not presume any more.
Sabni hundis waan kana dhagaʼee ni sodaata; itti deebiʼees hin tuffatu.
14 'When thou comest in unto the land which Jehovah thy God is giving to thee, and hast possessed it, and dwelt in it, and thou hast said, Let me set over me a king like all the nations which [are] round about me, —
Ati yommuu biyya Waaqayyo Waaqni kee siif kennutti galtee dhaaltuu fi biyya sana keessa qubattee, “Akkuma saboota naannoo koo jiraataniitti anis mootii of irrattan moosisa” jettutti,
15 thou dost certainly set over thee a king on whom Jehovah doth fix; from the midst of thy brethren thou dost set over thee a king; thou art not able to set over thee a stranger, who is not thy brother.
mootii Waaqayyo Waaqni kee filatu of irratti moosisi. Nama obboleessa kee Israaʼel taʼe keessaa malee nama biyya alaa of irratti hin moosisin.
16 'Only, he doth not multiply to himself horses, nor cause the people to turn back to Egypt, so as to multiply horses, seeing Jehovah hath said to you, Ye do not add to turn back in this way any more.
Sababii Waaqayyo, “Lammata garas hin deebitan” jedhee sitti himeef, mootichi ofii isaatii fardeen hin baayʼifatin yookaan lakkoobsa fardeenii baayʼifachuuf jedhee gara Gibxitti saba hin deebisin.
17 And he doth not multiply to himself wives, and his heart doth not turn aside, and silver and gold he doth not multiply to himself — exceedingly.
Akka yaadni isaa hin badneef inni niitota baayʼee fuudhuu hin qabu; meetii fi warqee baayʼisees walitti qabachuu hin qabu.
18 'And it hath been, when he sitteth on the throne of his kingdom, that he hath written for himself the copy of this law, on a book, from [that] before the priests the Levites,
Inni yommuu teessoo mootummaa isaa irra taaʼutti garagalchaa seera kanaa luboota Lewwota taʼan irraa fudhatee kitaaba maramaa irratti ofii isaatii haa barreeffatu.
19 and it hath been with him, and he hath read in it all days of his life, so that he doth learn to fear Jehovah his God, to keep all the words of this law, and these statutes, to do them;
Inni akka Waaqayyo Waaqa isaa sodaachuu baratuuf dubbii seera kanaa hundaa fi ajajawwan kanneen of eeggannaadhaan duukaa buʼuuf kitaabichi isa wajjin haa turu; innis bara jireenya isaa guutuu haa dubbisu;
20 so that his heart is not high above his brethren, and so as not to turn aside from the command, right or left, so that he prolongeth days over his kingdom, he and his sons, in the midst of Israel.
kunis akka inni akka waan obboloota isaa caaluutti of ilaalee seericha irraa gara mirgaatti yookaan bitaatti hin gorreef. Akkasiinis innii fi sanyiin isaa mootummaa isaa irratti Israaʼel keessatti bara dheeraadhaaf ni mooʼu.
