Keessa Deebii 13

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

If ever you have among you a prophet or a dreamer of dreams and he gives you a sign or a wonder,

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 the sign or the wonder takes place, and he says to you, Let us go after other gods, which are strange to you, and give them worship;

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.

Then give no attention to the words of that prophet or that dreamer of dreams: for the Lord your God is testing you, to see if all the love of your heart and soul is given to him.

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

But keep on in the ways of the Lord your God, fearing him and keeping his orders and hearing his voice, worshipping him and being true 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.

And that prophet or that dreamer of dreams is to be put to death; for his words were said with the purpose of turning you away from the Lord your God, who took you out of the land of Egypt and made you free from the prison-house; and of forcing you out of the way in which the Lord your God has given you orders to go. So you are to put away 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 brother, the son of your mother, or your son or your daughter or the wife of your heart, or the friend who is as dear to you as your life, working on you secretly says to you, Let us go and give worship to other gods, strange to you and to your fathers;

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

Gods of the peoples round about you, near or far, from one end of the earth to the other;

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

Do not be guided by him or give attention to him; have no pity on him or mercy, and give him no cover;

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

But put him to death without question; let your hand be the first stretched out 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.

Let him be stoned with stones till he is dead; because it was his purpose to make you false to the Lord your God, who took you out of the land of Egypt, out of the prison-house.

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

And all Israel, hearing of it, will be full of fear, and no one will again do such evil as this among you.

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

And if word comes to you, in one of the towns which the Lord your God is giving you for your resting-place,

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

That good-for-nothing persons have gone out from among you, turning the people of their town from the right way and saying, Let us go and give worship to other gods, of whom you have no knowledge;

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

Then let a full search be made, and let questions be put with care; and if it is true and certain that such a disgusting thing has been done among you;

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

Then take up arms against the people of that town and give it up to the curse, with all its cattle and everything in it.

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 take all the goods into the middle of its open space, burning the town and all its property with fire as an offering to the Lord your God; it is to be a waste for ever; there is to be no more building there.

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;

Keep not a thing of what is cursed for yourselves: so the Lord may be turned away from the heat of his wrath, and have mercy on you, and give you increase as he said in his oath 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.

So long as you give ear to the voice of the Lord your God, and keep all his orders which I give you today, and do what is right in the eyes of the Lord your God.
