Keessa Deebii 11
1 Waaqayyo Waaqa kee jaalladhu; yeroo hundas fedhii isaa, qajeelchawwan isaa, seerawwan isaatii fi ajajawwan isaa eegi.
“[Because of all that] Yahweh your God [has done for you], you must love him and continually obey all his rules and regulations and commandments.
2 Kan adabbii Waaqayyo Waaqa keessanii, surraa isaa, harka isaa jabaa fi irree isaa kan diriirfame beeke yookaan arge isinuma malee akka ijoollee keessan hin taʼin harʼa yaadadhaa.
It was you and your ancestors, not your children, whom he disciplined [by causing all of you to have/experience difficulties]. So, starting today, continue to think about how very great and very powerful he is [DOU, MTY].
3 Mallattoowwanii fi wantoota inni Gibxi keessatti Faraʼoon mootii Gibxii fi biyya isaa guutuu irratti hojjete,
Think about the various miracles [DOU] that he performed in Egypt. Think about what he did to the king of Egypt and to his country.
4 waan inni loltoota Gibxi, fardeenii fi gaariiwwanis godhe, utuma isaan isin duukaa buʼanuu akka inni Galaana Diimaadhaan isaan haguuge, akka itti Waaqayyo badiisa bara baraa isaanitti fide yaadadhaa.
Think about what he did to the army of Egypt, to their horses and their chariots. Think about how he caused the Red Sea to flood/cover over them while they were pursuing your ancestors, and how the army of Egypt was completely (wiped out/destroyed).
5 Waan inni hamma isin iddoo kana geessanitti lafa gammoojjii keessatti isiniif godhe kan arge ijoollee keessan miti;
Think about what Yahweh did for your ancestors in the desert before you arrived at this place.
6 isaan waan inni gaafa lafti afaan ishee banattee guutummaa Israaʼel gidduutti Daataanii fi Abiiraam ilmaan Eliiyaab namicha gosa Ruubeen sana maatii isaanii wajjin, dunkaanota isaaniitii fi qabeenya isaanii kan lubbuu qabu hunda liqimsitetti isaan godhe hin argine.
Think about what he did to Dathan and Abiram, the two sons of Eliab from the tribe of Reuben. While all of your ancestors were watching, the earth split open, and they fell into the opening [and disappeared], along with their families and their tents, their servants, and their animals.
7 Iji keessan garuu waan guddaa Waaqayyo godhe kanneen hunda argeera.
You [SYN] and your ancestors have seen all these miracles that Yahweh performed.
8 Kanaafuu isin akka Yordaanosiin ceetanii biyya dhaaluuf jirtanitti galuuf jabaattaniif ajajawwan ani harʼa isinii kennu hunda eegaa;
So, obey all the commandments that I am giving you today, in order that you will be strong and able to cross the river and occupy the land that you are about to enter,
9 kunis akka isin biyya Waaqayyo abbootii keessanii fi sanyii isaaniitiif kennuuf kakate kan aannanii fi damma baasu sana keessatti bara dheeraa jiraattaniif.
and in order that you will live for a long time in that land, the land that Yahweh solemnly promised your ancestors that he would give to them and to their descendants, a land that is very fertile [IDM].
10 Biyyi ati dhaaluuf itti galaa jirtu kun akka biyya Gibxi kan ati keessaa baatee dhufte kan ati akkuma lafa biqiltuutti sanyii kee facaaftee miilla keetiin bishaan obaafte sanaa miti.
The land that you are about to enter and occupy is not like the land of Egypt, where your ancestors lived. In Egypt, after they planted seeds, it was necessary for them to work hard [MTY] to water [the plants that grew].
11 Biyyi ati Yordaanos ceetee dhaaltu kun garuu biyya tulluuwwanii fi sululawwanii kan samiidhaa bokkaa argatuu dha.
But the land that you are about to enter is a land where there are many hills and valleys, where there is plenty of rain.
12 Biyyi kun biyya Waaqayyo Waaqni kee kunuunsuu dha; jalqaba waggaatii hamma dhuma waggaattis iji Waaqayyo Waaqa keetii ishee irraa hin buqqaʼu.
Yahweh takes care of that land. He [SYN] watches over it every day, from the beginning of each year to the end of each year.
13 Yoo ajajawwan ani harʼa isiniif kennu amanamummaadhaan eegdan jechuunis yoo isin Waaqayyo Waaqa keessan jaallattanii garaa keessan guutuu fi lubbuu keessan guutuudhaan isa tajaajiltan,
Today I am commanding you to love Yahweh our God and to serve him with your entire inner beings. If you do that,
14 akka ati midhaan kee, wayinii keetii fi zayitii kee galfattuuf ani yeroo isaatti bokkaa birraatii fi bokkaa arfaasaa lafa keetti nan roobsa.
each year he will send rain on your land at the (right times/times when it is needed), (in the autumn/at the end of the dry season) and (in the spring/before the next dry season starts). As a result, you will have grain and [grapes to make] wine and [olives to make olive] oil.
15 Loon keetiif marga bakkee nan kenna; atis nyaattee quufta.
And he will cause grass to grow in your fields for your livestock [to eat]. You will have all the food that you want.
16 Of eeggadhaa! Yoo kanaa achii isin akka garagaltanii waaqota biraa waaqeffattanii fi isaaniifis sagaddan gowwoomfamtu.
“But I warn you, do not turn away from Yahweh our God and start to worship other gods,
17 Ergasii dheekkamsi Waaqayyoo isinitti bobaʼa; innis akka bokkaan hin roobne, laftis oomisha hin kennineef samiiwwan ni cufa; isinis biyya gaarii Waaqayyo isiniif kennu irraa daftanii ni baddu.
because if you do that, Yahweh will become very angry with you. He will prevent any rain from falling. As a result, the crops will not grow, and you will soon die [from hunger] in the good land that Yahweh is about to give to you.
18 Dubbiiwwan koo kanneen garaa fi qalbii keessanitti qabadhaa; akka mallattootti harkatti hidhadhaa; adda keessan irrattis maxxanfadhaa.
So, keep thinking [IDM] about these commands. Write them [on tiny scrolls] and fasten them to your arms/wrists, and write them on bands that you fasten to your foreheads [to help you to remember them].
19 Ijoollee keessanis barsiisaa; yeroo mana teessu, yeroo karaa deemtu, yeroo ciiftuu fi yeroo dammaqxutti waaʼee isaanii odeessi.
Teach them to your children again and again. Talk about them [all the time]: When you are in your houses and when you are walking outside; talk about them when you are lying down at night and when you are getting up in the morning.
20 Michichilawwan balbala mana keetiitii fi karrawwan kee irrattis isaan barreessi;
Write them on the doorposts and on the gates of your houses.
21 kunis akka umuriin keessanii fi umuriin ijoollee keessanii biyya Waaqayyo abbootii keessaniif kennuuf kakate keessatti akkuma umurii samiiwwan lafaa oli jiraniitti dheeratuuf.
Do that in order that you and your children will live for a long time in the land that Yahweh promised to our ancestors that he would give to them. That land will belong to you [and your descendants] as long as there is a sky above the earth.
22 Yoo isin ajajawwan ani isiniif kennu kanneen hunda of eeggannoodhaan duukaa buutan jechuunis yoo isin Waaqayyo Waaqa keessan jaallattan, karaa isaa hunda irra deemtanii fi isatti maxxantan,
“Faithfully continue to obey what I am commanding you to do—to love Yahweh our God, and to conduct your lives as he wants you to do, and to (be faithful to/have a close relationship with) him.
23 Waaqayyo saboota hunda fuula keessan duraa ariʼee ni baasa; isinis saboota isin caalaa gurguddaa fi jajjaboo ni dhaaltu.
If you do that, Yahweh will expel all the people-groups in that land as you advance, people-groups that are more numerous and more powerful than you are.
24 Lafti miilli keessan irra dhaabate hundinuu keessan taʼa; daariin keessanis gammoojjiidhaa hamma Libaanoonitti, laga Efraaxiisii hamma galaana lixaatti ni balʼata.
All the ground [in that land] on which you walk will be yours. Your territory will extend from the desert [in the south] to the Lebanon [Mountains in the north], and from the Euphrates River [in the east] to the [Mediterranean] Sea in the west.
25 Namni kam iyyuu fuula keessan dura dhaabachuu hin dandaʼu. Waaqayyo Waaqni keessan akkuma isin abdachiisetti rifachiisuu fi sodaachisuu keessan lafa isin dhaqxan hunda irra ni buusa.
Yahweh our God will cause all the people in that land to be afraid of you, which is what he promised, with the result that no people-group will be able to stop you.
26 Kunoo, ani harʼa eebbaa fi abaarsa fuula keessan dura nan kaaʼa;
“Listen carefully: Today I am telling you [that Yahweh will either] bless [you or he will] curse you.
27 eebbi kunis yoo isin ajajawwan Waaqayyo Waaqa keessanii kanneen ani harʼa isiniif kennu eegdanii dha.
If you obey the commandments of Yahweh our God that I am giving to you today, he will bless you.
28 Abaarsi immoo yoo isin ajajawwan Waaqayyo Waaqa keessanii dhagaʼuu diddanii karaa ani harʼa isin ajaje irraa garagaltanii waaqota biraa kanneen isin duraan hin beekne duukaa buutanii dha.
If you do not obey them, and if you turn away from him to worship other gods that you have never known about before, he will curse you.
29 Yommuu Waaqayyo Waaqni kee biyya ati dhaaluuf itti galtu kanatti si fidutti Tulluu Gerziim irratti eebba, Tulluu Eebaal irratti immoo abaarsa labsita.
And when Yahweh brings you into the land that you are about to enter and occupy, [some of you must stand on top of] Gerizim Mountain and proclaim what will cause Yahweh to bless you, and [the others must stand on top of] Ebal Mountain and proclaim [what will cause Yahweh to] curse you.”
30 Tulluuwwan kunneen Yordaanos gamatti, karaa gara lixa biiftuutti geessuun gama lixaatti, muka Mooree guddicha biratti, biyya Kanaʼaanota Arabbaa keessa jiraatan keessatti fuullee Gilgaalitti argamu mitii?
(Those two mountains are [RHQ] west of the Jordan [River], west of the Jordan Valley near the huge oak tree at Moreh [village] in the land where the Canaan people-group lives. They live close to the sacred trees near Gilgal.)
31 Isin biyya Waaqayyo Waaqni keessan isiniif kennu seentanii dhaaluuf Yordaanosin ceʼuudhaaf jirtu; yommuu lafa sana dhaaltanii irra jiraattanitti,
“You will soon cross the Jordan [River] to occupy the land that Yahweh our God is giving to you. When you enter that land and start to live there,
32 ajajawwanii fi seerawwan ani harʼa fuula keessan dura kaaʼu hunda eegaa.
be sure to obey all the rules and regulations that I am giving to you today.”
