< Judges 2 >

1 And a messenger of Jehovah goeth up from Gilgal unto Bochim,
Ergamaan Waaqayyoo Gilgaalii Bookiimitti ol baʼee akkana jedhe; “Ani Gibxii isin baasee biyya ani abbootii keessaniif kennuuf kakadhe sanatti isin fideera. Akkanas nan jedhe; ‘Ani kakuu isin wajjin gale sana gonkumaa hin diigu;
2 and saith, 'I cause you to come up out of Egypt, and bring you in unto the land which I have sworn to your fathers, and say, I do not break My covenant with you to the age; and ye — ye make no covenant with the inhabitants of this land — their altars ye break down; and ye have not hearkened to My voice — what [is] this ye have done?
isinis warra lafa kana irra jiraatan wajjin kakuu hin galinaa; iddoo aarsaa isaanii garuu caccabsaa.’ Taʼus isin naaf hin ajajamne. Isin maaliif waan kana gootan?
3 And I also have said, I do not cast them out from your presence, and they have been to you for adversaries, and their gods are to you for a snare.'
Kanaafuu ani amma akka fuula keessan duraa ariʼee isaan hin baafne isinitti nan hima; isaan iddaa isinitti taʼu; waaqonni isaanii immoo kiyyoo isinitti taʼu.”
4 And it cometh to pass, when the messenger of Jehovah speaketh these words unto all the sons of Israel, that the people lift up their voice and weep,
Yeroo ergamaan Waaqayyoo waan kana Israaʼeloota hundatti dubbatetti namoonni sagalee isaanii ol fudhatanii booʼan;
5 and they call the name of that place Bochim, and sacrifice there to Jehovah.
isaanis iddoo sana Bookiim jedhanii waaman. Achittis Waaqayyoof aarsaa dhiʼeessan.
6 And Joshua sendeth the people away, and the sons of Israel go, each to his inheritance, to possess the land;
Erga Iyyaasuun Israaʼeloota gad dhiisee booddee tokkoon tokkoon isaanii biyyattii dhaaluuf gara dhaala ofii isaanii deeman.
7 and the people serve Jehovah all the days of Joshua, and all the days of the elders who prolonged days after Joshua, who saw all the great work of Jehovah which He did to Israel.
Uummanni bara jireenya Iyyaasuu guutuu fi bara maanguddoota erga inni duʼee as hafanii jiraatanii waan guddaa Waaqayyo Israaʼeliif godhe argan sunis Waaqayyoon tajaajilan.
8 And Joshua son of Nun, servant of Jehovah, dieth, a son of a hundred and ten years,
Iyyaasuun ilmi Nuuni garbichi Waaqayyoo waggaa dhibba tokkoo fi kudhanitti duʼe.
9 and they bury him in the border of his inheritance, in Timnath-Heres, in the hill-country of Ephraim, on the north of mount Gaash;
Isaanis lafa dhaala isaa Timnaat Herees kan biyya gaaraa Efreemitti karaa kaaba Tulluu Gaʼaashitti argamtu sanatti isa awwaalan.
10 and also all that generation have been gathered unto their fathers, and another generation riseth after them who have not known Jehovah, and even the work which He hath done to Israel.
Erga dhaloonni sun guutuun gara abbootii isaaniitti walitti qabamanii booddee dhaloonni Waaqayyoon hin beekin yookaan waan inni saba Israaʼeliif godhe hin beekin kan biraa kaʼe.
11 And the sons of Israel do the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah, and serve the Baalim,
Israaʼeloonnis fuula Waaqayyoo duratti waan hamaa hojjetan; Baʼaaliinis ni tajaajilan.
12 and forsake Jehovah, God of their fathers, who bringeth them out from the land of Egypt, and go after other gods (of the gods of the peoples who [are] round about them), and bow themselves to them, and provoke Jehovah,
Isaan Waaqayyo Waaqa abbootii isaanii kan Gibxii isaan baase sana ni dhiisan. Waaqota adda addaa kanneen saboota naannoo isaanii jiraatanii duukaa buʼan; ni waaqeffatanis. Waaqayyonis dheekkamsaaf kakaasan;
13 yea, they forsake Jehovah, and do service to Baal and to Ashtaroth.
isaan isa dhiisanii Baʼaalii fi Ashtooretin waaqeffataniiruutii.
14 And the anger of Jehovah burneth against Israel, and He giveth them into the hand of spoilers, and they spoil them, and He selleth them into the hand of their enemies round about, and they have not been able any more to stand before their enemies;
Waaqayyos Israaʼelootatti dheekkamee saamtota isaan saamanitti dabarsee isaan kenne. Diinota naannoo isaanii kanneen isaan of irraa ittisuu hin dandeenye hundatti isaan gurgure.
15 in every [place] where they have gone out, the hand of Jehovah hath been against them for evil, as Jehovah hath spoken, and as Jehovah hath sworn to them, and they are distressed — greatly.
Yommuu Israaʼeloonni lolaaf baʼanitti akkuma inni duraan kakate sanatti harki Waaqayyoo isaanitti hammaatee akka isaan moʼataman godha ture. Isaanis rakkina guddaa keessa buʼan.
16 And Jehovah raiseth up judges, and they save them from the hand of their spoilers;
Waaqayyos abbootii murtii kanneen saamtota jalaa isaan baasan isaaniif kaase.
17 and also unto their judges they have not hearkened, but have gone a-whoring after other gods, and bow themselves to them; they have turned aside [with] haste out of the way [in] which their fathers walked to obey the commands of Jehovah — they have not done so.
Isaan garuu waaqota biraa wajjin sagaagalanii isaan waaqeffatan malee abbootii murtii sana hin dhaggeeffanne. Karaa abbootiin isaanii Waaqayyoof ajajamuudhaan irra deemaa turan sana irraa dafanii jalʼatan; isaan waan abbootiin isaanii godhan hin goone.
18 And when Jehovah raised up to them judges — then was Jehovah with the judge, and saved them out of the hand of their enemies all the days of the judge; for it repenteth Jehovah, because of their groaning from the presence of their oppressors, and of those thrusting them away.
Waaqayyo yeroo abbaa murtii tokko isaanii kaasetti hamma abbaan murtii sun jirutti isa wajjin jiraatee harka diinota isaanii jalaa isaan baasa ture; Waaqayyo yeroo isaan sababii warra isaan cunqursanii fi warra isaan miidhaniitiin wawwaatanitti garaa laafaaf tureetii.
19 And it hath come to pass, at the death of the judge — they turn back and have done corruptly above their fathers, to go after other gods, to serve them, and to bow themselves to them; they have not fallen from their doings, and from their stiff way.
Yommuu abbaan murtii sun duʼu garuu isaan waaqota biraa duukaa buʼuudhaan, tajaajiluu fi isaan waaqeffachuudhaan abbootii isaanii iyyuu caalaa gara hamminaatti deebiʼan. Hojii hamminaatii fi mataa jabina isaanii irraas hin deebiʼan ture.
20 And the anger of Jehovah doth burn against Israel, and He saith, 'Because that this nation have transgressed My covenant which I commanded their fathers, and have not hearkened to My voice —
Kanaafuu Waaqayyo Israaʼelitti akka malee dheekkamee akkana jedhe; “Waan sabni kun kakuu ani abbootii isaatiif gale sana cabsee anas dhagaʼuu dideef,
21 I also continue not to dispossess any from before them of the nations which Joshua hath left when he dieth,
ani siʼachi saboota Iyyaasuun yeroo duʼetti isaan gidduutti dhiise sana isaan duraa ariʼee hin baasu.
22 in order to try Israel by them, whether they are keeping the way of Jehovah, to go in it, as their fathers kept [it] or not.'
Karaa saboota kanaatiinis akka isaan akkuma abbootii isaanii karaa Waaqayyoo eeganii irra deddeebiʼanii fi akka isaan hin eegne ilaaluuf jedhee Israaʼelin nan qora.”
23 And Jehovah leaveth these nations, so as not to dispossess them hastily, and did not give them into the hand of Joshua.
Kanaafuu Waaqayyo akka saboonni kunneen achumatti hafan eeyyame; harka Iyyaasuuttis dabarsee isaan kennuudhaan dafee achii isaan hin baafne.
