Keessa Deebii 13

1 Yoo raajiin yookaan namni abjuudhaan waan dhufaa jiru himu tokko gidduu keessanitti argamee mallattoowwan yookaan dinqii isinitti hime,

If a prophet or dreamer of dreams arises among you and proclaims a sign or wonder to you,

2 yoo mallattoon yookaan dinqii inni isinitti hime sun raawwatamee innis, “Kottu waaqota biraa kanneen ati duraan hin beekne duukaa buunee haa waaqeffannu” siin jedhe,

and if the sign or wonder he has spoken to you comes about, but he says, “Let us follow other gods (which you have not known) and let us worship them,”

3 ati dubbii raajii yookaan nama abjootu sanaa hin dhaggeeffatin; Waaqayyo Waaqni kee akka isin garaa keessan guutuu fi yaada keessan guutuudhaan isa jaallattan qoruuf waan kana godhaatii.

you must not listen to the words of that prophet or dreamer. For the LORD your God is testing you to find out whether you love Him with all your heart and with all your soul.

4 Waaqayyo Waaqa keessan duukaa buʼaa; isa sodaadhaa. Ajajawwan isaa eegaa; isaaf ajajamaa; isa tajaajilaa; isattis maxxanaa.

You are to follow the LORD your God and fear Him. Keep His commandments and listen to His voice; serve Him and hold fast to Him.

5 Raajaan yookaan namichi abjuu abjootu sun, sababii akka isin Waaqayyo Waaqa keessan kan biyya Gibxiitii isin baasee biyya garbummaa jalaa isin fure sanatti finciltan dubbateef ajjeefamuu qaba; inni karaa Waaqayyo Waaqni keessan akka duukaa buutan isin ajaje irraa isin jalʼisuuf yaaleera; hamaa of keessaa balleessi.

Such a prophet or dreamer must be put to death, because he has advocated rebellion against the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt and redeemed you from the house of slavery; he has tried to turn you from the way in which the LORD your God has commanded you to walk. So you must purge the evil from among you.

6 Yoo obboleessi kee yookaan ilmi kee yookaan intalli kee yookaan niitiin kee kan ati jaallattu yookaan michuun kee, “Kottu waaqota biraa kanneen atis taatu abbootiin kee hin beekin waaqeffannaa” jedhee dhoksaadhaan si dogoggorsuu barbaade,

If your very own brother, or your son or daughter, or the wife you embrace, or your closest friend secretly entices you, saying, “Let us go and worship other gods” (which neither you nor your fathers have known,

7 yoo inni waaqota saboota naannoo keetii, kanneen dhiʼoo yookaan fagoo jiran, warra daarii lafaa tokkoo hamma daarii lafaa kaaniitti jiranii waaqeffanna, siin jedhe,

the gods of the peoples around you, whether near or far, whether from one end of the earth or the other),

8 tole hin jedhiniif yookaan isa hin dhagaʼin. Hin naʼiniif. Isaaf hin hilin yookaan harka irra hin qabin.

you must not yield to him or listen to him. Show him no pity, and do not spare him or shield him.

9 Ati isa ajjeesuu qabda. Isa ajjeesuufis jalqabatti harki kee, itti aansees harki saba hundaa haa kaʼu.

Instead, you must surely kill him. Your hand must be the first against him to put him to death, and then the hands of all the people.

10 Waan inni akka ati Waaqayyo Waaqa kee kan Gibxi, biyya garbummaatii si baase sana irraa garagaltu godheef dhagaadhaan tumii isa ajjeesi.

Stone him to death for trying to turn you away from the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery.

11 Ergasii Israaʼeloonni hundi dhagaʼanii ni sodaatu; si gidduudhaas eenyu iyyuu deebiʼee waan hamaa akkasii hin hojjetu.

Then all Israel will hear and be afraid, and will never again do such a wicked thing among you.

12 Yoo ati magaalaawwan akka ati keessa jiraattuuf Waaqayyo Waaqni kee siif kennu keessaa tokkotti iyyuu utuu akkas jedhamuu dhageesse,

If, regarding one of the cities the LORD your God is giving you to inhabit, you hear it said

13 yoo namoonni hamoon isin gidduudhaa kaʼanii, “Kottaa waaqota biraa kanneen isin hin beekne waaqeffannaa” jedhanii saba magaalaa isaanii dogoggorsu taʼe,

that wicked men have arisen from among you and have led the people of their city astray, saying, “Let us go and serve other gods” (which you have not known),

14 dubbii sana iyyaafadhu; qoradhu; sirriitti gaafadhu. Kunoo, yoo dubbiin sun dhugaa taʼee wanni jibbisiisaan kun gidduu keetti hojjetamuun isaa mirkanaaʼe,

then you must inquire, investigate, and interrogate thoroughly. And if it is established with certainty that this abomination has been committed among you,

15 ati namoota magaalaa sana keessa jiraatan hunda goraadeedhaan fixi; magaalaa sana illee namoota isheetii fi horii ishee wajjin guutumaan guutuutti barbadeessi.

you must surely put the inhabitants of that city to the sword. Devote to destruction all its people and livestock.

16 Miʼa boojuu kan magaalaa sanaa argame hunda walakkaa oobdii isheetti walitti qabiitii magaalaa sana guutuu boojuu ishee wajjin Waaqayyo Waaqa keetiif aarsaa guutummaan gubamu godhiitii gubi. Isheen bara baraan barbadooftee haa haftu; deebitees hin ijaaramin.

And you are to gather all its plunder in the middle of the public square, and completely burn the city and all its plunder as a whole burnt offering to the LORD your God. The city must remain a mound of ruins forever, never to be rebuilt.

17 Akka Waaqayyo dheekkamsa isaa sodaachisaa irraa deebiʼuuf wanni abaarame tokko harka keetti hin argamin; inni siif araarama; garaa siif laafa; akkuma abbootii keetiif kakatetti si baayʼisa;

Nothing devoted to destruction shall cling to your hands, so that the LORD will turn from His fierce anger, grant you mercy, show you compassion, and multiply you as He swore to your fathers,

18 kunis waan ati ajajawwan isaa kanneen ani harʼa siif kennu hunda eegdee fuula isaa duratti waan qajeelaa hojjechuudhaan Waaqayyo Waaqa keetiif ajajamtuuf.

because you obey the LORD your God, keeping all His commandments I am giving you today and doing what is right in the eyes of the LORD your God.
