< Keessa Deebii 2 >

1 Ergasii akkuma Waaqayyo natti himetti, duubatti deebinee karaa Galaana Diimaatiin gara gammoojjiitti qajeelle; yeroo dheeraadhaafis naannoo biyya gaaraa Seeʼiir keessa joorre.
“And we turn and journey into the wilderness, the way of the Red Sea, as YHWH has spoken to me, and we go around Mount Seir [for] many days.
2 Waaqayyos akkana naan jedhe;
And YHWH speaks to me, saying,
3 “Biyya gaaraa kana naannaʼuun isin gaʼa; gara kaabaatti garagalaa.
For you go around this mountain long enough; turn for yourselves northward.
4 Saba kana akkana jedhii ajaji: ‘Isin biyya obboloota keessan sanyiiwwan Esaawu kanneen Seeʼiir keessa jiraatanii keessa darbitu. Isaan isin sodaatu; isin garuu jabeessaa of eeggadhaa.
And the people command you, saying, You are passing over into the border of your brothers, sons of Esau, who are dwelling in Seir, and they are afraid of you; and you have been very watchful;
5 Lolaaf isaan hin kakaasinaa; ani lafa isaanii irraa iddoo isin miilla keessan irra dhaabbattan illee isiniif hin kennuutii. Ani biyya gaaraa Seeʼiir dhaala godhee Esaawuuf kenneera.
you do not strive with them, for I do not give [any] of their land to you—even the treading of the sole of a foot; I have given Mount Seir to Esau for a possession.
6 Nyaata achii nyaattanii fi bishaan dhugdaniif maallaqa baaftuuf.’”
You buy food from them with money, and have eaten; and you also buy water from them with money, and have drunk.
7 Waaqayyo Waaqni keessan waan isin hojjettan hundaan isin eebbiseera. Inni deemsa dheeraa isin gammoojjii balʼaa kana keessa deemtan irratti isin eegeera. Waaqayyo Waaqni keessan waggoota afurtamman kanneen isin wajjin ture; isinis waan tokko illee hin dhabne.
For your God YHWH has blessed you in all the work of your hands; He has known your walking in this great wilderness these forty years; your God YHWH [is] with you; you have not lacked anything.
8 Obboloota keenya ilmaan Esaawu warra Seeʼiir keessa jiraatan bira dabarree deemne. Nus daandii Arabbaa kan Eelaatii fi Eziyoon Geberii dhufu irraa garagallee karaa daandii gammoojjii Moʼaab deemne.
And we pass by from our brothers, sons of Esau, who are dwelling in Seir, by the way of the plain, by Elath and by Ezion-Gaber, and we turn and pass over the way of the wilderness of Moab;
9 Ergasiis Waaqayyo akkana naan jedhe; “Waan ani lafa Moʼaab irraa isiniif hin kennineef akkasumaan isaan hin rakkisinaa; waraanaafis isaan hin kakaasinaa. Ani Aarin dhaala godhee sanyii Looxiif kenneeraatii.”
and YHWH says to me, Do not distress Moab, nor stir yourself up against them [in] battle, for I do not give [any] of their land to you [for] a possession; for I have given Ar to the sons of Lot [for] a possession.
10 Eemiimoonni achi jiraachaa turan; isaanis namoota jajjaboo fi baayʼee dha; akkuma Anaaqotaas dhedheeroo turan.
The Emim have formerly dwelt in it, a people great, and numerous, and tall as the Anakim;
11 Isaan kunneenis akkuma Anaaqotaa, Refaayimoota jedhamanii hedamu turan; Moʼaabonni garuu Eemiimoota jedhuun.
they are reckoned [as] Rephaim, they also, as the Anakim; and the Moabites call them Emim.
12 Huuronni kunneen Seeʼiir keessa jiraachaa turan; ilmaan Esaawu garuu ariʼanii achii isaan baasan. Isaanis akkuma Israaʼeloonni biyya Waaqayyo dhaala isaaniif kenne sana keessatti godhan sana Hoorota achii balleessanii ofii isaaniitii biyya jaraa keessa qubatan.
And the Horim have formerly dwelt in Seir, but the sons of Esau dispossess them, and destroy them from before them, and dwell in their stead, as Israel has done to the land of his possession which YHWH has given to them.
13 Waaqayyo, “Ammuma kaʼaatii Laga Zered ceʼaa” nuun jedhe. Nu laga sana ceene.
Now rise and pass over the Brook of Zered for yourselves; and we pass over the Brook of Zered.
14 Yeroo nu Qaadesh Barnee kaanee jalqabee hamma laga Zered ceenutti waggaa soddomii saddeet fudhate. Akkuma Waaqayyo isaanitti kakatetti dhaloonni dhiira waraanaa hundi yeroo sanatti qubata keessaa dhume.
And the days which we have walked from Kadesh-Barnea until we have passed over the Brook of Zered [are] thirty-eight years, until the consumption of all the generation of the men of battle from the midst of the camp, as YHWH has sworn to them;
15 Harki Waaqayyoos qubata keessaa isaan balleessuudhaaf isaan irra ture.
and indeed the hand of YHWH has been against them, to destroy them from the midst of the camp until they are consumed.
16 Yeroo loltoonni hundi saba keessaa dhumanitti,
And it comes to pass, when all the men of battle have finished dying from the midst of the people,
17 Waaqayyo akkana naan jedhe;
that YHWH speaks to me, saying,
18 “Ati harʼa daarii Moʼaab, Aari keessa dabarta.
Today you are passing over the border of Moab, even Ar,
19 Yommuu Amoonotatti dhuftanitti akkasumaan isaan hin rakkisinaa yookaan waraanaaf isaan hin kakaasinaa; ani biyya isaanii keessaa tokko illee dhaala godhee isiniif hin kennuutii. Ani biyya isaanii sanyii Looxiif handhuuraa godhee kenneera.”
and [when] you have come near the sons of Ammon, you do not distress them, nor stir yourself up against them, for I do not give [any] of the land of the sons of Ammon to you [for] a possession; for I have given it to the sons of Lot [for] a possession.
20 Kunis biyya Refaayimoota achi jiraachaa turaniiti jedhamee hedama; Amoononni garuu Zamzumoota jedhanii isaan waamu ture.
It is reckoned [as] a land of Rephaim, even it; Rephaim formerly dwelt in it, and the Ammonites call them Zamzummim,
21 Isaanis namoota jajjaboo fi baayʼee dha; akkuma Anaaqotaa dhedheeroo turan. Waaqayyos fuula Amoonota achii isaan baasanii iddoo isaanii qubatan sanaa duraa isaan barbadeesse.
a people great, and numerous, and tall as the Anakim, and YHWH destroys them before them, and they dispossess them, and dwell in their stead,
22 Waaqayyos yommuu Hoorota fuula isaanii duraa balleessetti ilmaan Esaawu kanneen Seeʼiir keessa jiraachaa turanis akkasuma godhe. Isaanis jara achii baasanii hamma harʼaatti biyya isaanii keessa jiraatan.
as He has done for the sons of Esau who are dwelling in Seir, when He destroyed the Horim from before them, and they dispossess them, and dwell in their stead to this day.
23 Awoota gandoota hamma Gaazaatti jiran keessa jiraatan immoo Kaftooronni Kaftoorii baʼanii dhufan sun balleessanii iddoo isaanii qubatan.
As for the Avim who are dwelling in villages as far as Gaza, the Caphtorim—who are coming out from Caphtor—have destroyed them, and dwell in their stead.
24 “Kaʼaatii Laga Arnoon ceʼaa; ani kunoo, Sihoon Amooricha mootii Heshbooniitii fi biyya isaa illee dabarsee harka keessanitti isinii kenneeraatii. Waraana itti banaatii biyya sana qabachuu jalqabaa.
Rise, journey, and pass over the Brook of Arnon; see, I have given into your hand Sihon king of Heshbon, the Amorite, and his land; begin to possess [it], and stir yourself up against him [in] battle.
25 Anis naasisuu fi sodaachisuu keessan saboota samii gad jiran hundatti buusuu hardhuma nan jalqaba. Isaanis oduu waaʼee keessanii dhagaʼanii sababii keessaniif hollatu; naasuunis isaan qabata.”
This [is] the day I begin to put your dread and your fear on the face of the peoples under the whole heavens, who hear your fame, and have trembled and been pained because of you.
26 Anis akkana jedhee gammoojjii Qidemooti keessaa Sihoon mooticha Heshbooniitti ergamoota nagaa nan erge;
And I send messengers from the wilderness of Kedemoth to Sihon king of Heshbon, [with] words of peace, saying,
27 “Akka nu biyya kee keessaan darbinu nuu eeyyami. Nu karaa guddicha irraa hin gorru; mirgattis gara bitaattis hin gorru.
Let me pass over through your land; in the way—in the way I go, I do not turn aside [to the] right or left.
28 Waan nyaannuu fi bishaan dhugnu maallaqaan nutti gurguri. Akka miilla qofaan achi keessa dabarru nuuf eeyyami;
You sell me food for money, and I have eaten; and you give to me water for money, and I have drunk; only, let me pass over on my feet,
29 akkuma ilmaan Esaawu kanneen Seeʼiir keessa jiraatanii fi Moʼaabonni Aari keessa jiraatan nuuf godhan sana atis hamma nu gara biyya Waaqayyo Waaqni keenya nuu kennuutti galuuf laga Yordaanos ceenutti akkasuma nuuf godhi.”
as the sons of Esau who are dwelling in Seir and the Moabites who are dwelling in Ar have done for me, until I pass over the Jordan to the land which our God YHWH is giving to us.
30 Sihoon mootiin Heshboon garuu akka nu dabarru nuuf eeyyamuu dide. Waaqayyo Waaqni keessan akkuma amma godhe kana dabarsee harka keessanitti isa kennuuf mataa fi garaa isaa jabeessee tureetii.
And Sihon king of Heshbon has not been willing to let us pass over by him, for your God YHWH has hardened his spirit and strengthened his heart, so as to give him into your hand as at this day.
31 Waaqayyos, “Kunoo, ani Sihoonii fi biyya isaa dabarsee siif kennuu jalqabeera. Ati biyya isaa dhaaluuf qabachuu jalqabi” naan jedhe.
And YHWH says to me, See, I have begun to give Sihon and his land before your faces; begin to possess—to possess his land.
32 Yommuu Sihoonii fi guutummaan loltoota isaa nu waraanuuf Yaahazitti baʼanitti,
And Sihon comes out to meet us, he and all his people, to the battle at Jahaz;
33 Waaqayyo Waaqni keenya dabarsee harka keenyatti isa nuuf kenne; nus isa, ilmaan isaatii fi loltoota isaa hunda dhoofne.
and our God YHWH gives him before our faces, and we strike him, and his sons, and all his people;
34 Yeroo sanattis magaalaawwan isaa hunda qabannee dhiirota, dubartootaa fi ijoollee, tokkoo tokkoo magaalaawwanii guutumaan guutuutti barbadeessine. Nama tokko illee hin hambifne.
and we capture all his cities at that time, and devote the whole city—men, and the women, and the infants; we have not left a remnant;
35 Garuu horii fi boojuu magaalaawwan qabanne sana keessaa boojine ofii keenyaaf fudhanne.
only, we have spoiled the livestock for ourselves, and the spoil of the cities which we have captured.
36 Magaalaa Aroʼeer kan qarqara Sulula Arnoonitti argamuu fi magaalaa sululicha keessatti argamuu jalqabee magaalaa hamma Giliʼaaditti argamu keessaa tokko iyyuu nu ittisuu hin dandeenye. Waaqayyo Waaqni keenya hunda isaanii dabarsee nuuf kenne.
From Aroer, which [is] by the edge of the Brook of Arnon, and the city which [is] by the brook, even to Gilead, there has not been a city which [is] too high for us; our God YHWH has given the whole before our faces.
37 Garuu akkuma ajaja Waaqayyo Waaqni keenya nuuf kenne sanaatti isin gara biyyoota Amoonotaa tokkootti illee yookaan gara biyya qarqara laga Yaaboq irratti argamuu yookaan biyyoota naannoo magaalaawwan gaarran irratti argamaniitti hin dabarre.
Only, you have not drawn near to the land of the sons of Ammon—any part of the Brook of Jabbok, and cities of the hill-country, and anything which our God YHWH has [not] commanded.”
