Keessa Deebii 17

1 Sangaa yookaan hoolaa fafa yookaan hirʼina kam iyyuu qabu Waaqayyo Waaqa keetiif aarsaa hin dhiʼeessin; wanni akkasii isa biratti jibbisiisaa dhaatii.

Thou shalt not sacrifice unto the LORD thy God [any] bullock, or sheep, wherein is blemish, [or] any evilfavouredness: for that [is] an abomination unto the LORD thy God.

2 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,

If there be found among you, within any of thy gates which the LORD thy God giveth thee, man or woman, that hath wrought wickedness in the sight of the LORD thy God, in transgressing his covenant,

3 yoo ajaja koo darbee waaqota ormaa waaqeffate, gad jedhee biiftuuf yookaan jiʼaaf yookaan urjiiwwan samiitiif sagadde,

And hath gone and served other gods, and worshipped them, either the sun, or moon, or any of the host of heaven, which I have not commanded;

4 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,

And it be told thee, and thou hast heard [of it], and enquired diligently, and, behold, [it be] true, [and] the thing certain, [that] such abomination is wrought in Israel:

5 namicha yookaan dubartii waan hamaa kana hojjette gara balbala magaalaa sanaatti geessiitii dhagaadhaan tumii ajjeesi.

Then shalt thou bring forth that man or that woman, which have committed that wicked thing, unto thy gates, [even] that man or that woman, and shalt stone them with stones, till they die.

6 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.

At the mouth of two witnesses, or three witnesses, shall he that is worthy of death be put to death; [but] at the mouth of one witness he shall not be put to death.

7 Yommuu ajjeefamus jalqabatti harki dhuga baatotaa, itti aansee immoo kan sabaa isa irra haa buʼu; ati waan hamaa of keessaa baasuu qabda.

The hands of the witnesses shall be first upon him to put him to death, and afterward the hands of all the people. So thou shalt put the evil away from among you.

8 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.

If there arise a matter too hard for thee in judgment, between blood and blood, between plea and plea, and between stroke and stroke, [being] matters of controversy within thy gates: then shalt thou arise, and get thee up into the place which the LORD thy God shall choose;

9 Gara Lewwota warra luboota taʼaniitii fi qondaaltota yeroo sana hojii irra turanii dhaqi. Waaʼee dubbii sanaa isaaniin mariʼadhu; isaanis murtii isaa sitti himu.

And thou shalt come unto the priests the Levites, and unto the judge that shall be in those days, and enquire; and they shall shew thee the sentence of judgment:

10 Atis akkuma yaada isaan siif kennan sanaatti iddoo Waaqayyo filatutti murtii kennuu qabda. Waan hunda qajeelfama isaan siif kennaniin hojjedhu.

And thou shalt do according to the sentence, which they of that place which the LORD shall choose shall shew thee; and thou shalt observe to do according to all that they inform thee:

11 Akka seera isaan si barsiisaniittii fi akka qajeelfama isaan siif kennaniitti hojjedhu. Waan isaan sitti himan irraa mirgatti yookaan bitaatti hin gorin.

According to the sentence of the law which they shall teach thee, and according to the judgment which they shall tell thee, thou shalt do: thou shalt not decline from the sentence which they shall shew thee, [to] the right hand, nor [to] the left.

12 Namni abbaa seeraa yookaan luba Waaqayyo Waaqa kee tajaajiluuf achi dhaabatu tuffatu haa ajjeefamu. Ati waan hamaa Israaʼel keessaa baasuu qabda.

And the man that will do presumptuously, and will not hearken unto the priest that standeth to minister there before the LORD thy God, or unto the judge, even that man shall die: and thou shalt put away the evil from Israel.

13 Sabni hundis waan kana dhagaʼee ni sodaata; itti deebiʼees hin tuffatu.

And all the people shall hear, and fear, and do no more presumptuously.

14 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,

When thou art come unto the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee, and shalt possess it, and shalt dwell therein, and shalt say, I will set a king over me, like as all the nations that [are] about me;

15 mootii Waaqayyo Waaqni kee filatu of irratti moosisi. Nama obboleessa kee Israaʼel taʼe keessaa malee nama biyya alaa of irratti hin moosisin.

Thou shalt in any wise set [him] king over thee, whom the LORD thy God shall choose: [one] from among thy brethren shalt thou set king over thee: thou mayest not set a stranger over thee, which [is] not thy brother.

16 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.

But he shall not multiply horses to himself, nor cause the people to return to Egypt, to the end that he should multiply horses: forasmuch as the LORD hath said unto you, Ye shall henceforth return no more that way.

17 Akka yaadni isaa hin badneef inni niitota baayʼee fuudhuu hin qabu; meetii fi warqee baayʼisees walitti qabachuu hin qabu.

Neither shall he multiply wives to himself, that his heart turn not away: neither shall he greatly multiply to himself silver and gold.

18 Inni yommuu teessoo mootummaa isaa irra taaʼutti garagalchaa seera kanaa luboota Lewwota taʼan irraa fudhatee kitaaba maramaa irratti ofii isaatii haa barreeffatu.

And it shall be, when he sitteth upon the throne of his kingdom, that he shall write him a copy of this law in a book out of [that which is] before the priests the Levites:

19 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;

And it shall be with him, and he shall read therein all the days of his life: that he may learn to fear the LORD his God, to keep all the words of this law and these statutes, to do them:

20 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.

That his heart be not lifted up above his brethren, and that he turn not aside from the commandment, [to] the right hand, or [to] the left: to the end that he may prolong [his] days in his kingdom, he, and his children, in the midst of Israel.
