Keessa Deebii 22

1 Utuu sangaan yookaan hoolaan obboleessa keetii badaa jiruu yoo argite, deebisiitii isatti fidi malee calʼiftee bira hin darbin.

“You do not see the ox of your brother or his sheep driven away, and have hidden yourself from them, you certainly turn them back to your brother;

2 Yoo obboleessi sun sirraa fagoo jiraate yookaan yoo isa beekuu baatte sangaa yookaan hoolaa sana fuudhii galiitii hamma inni barbaacha dhufutti of bira tursi. Ergasii deebisii isaaf kenni.

and if your brother [is] not near to you, and you have not known him, then you have removed it to the midst of your house, and it has been with you until your brother seeks it, and you have given it back to him;

3 Yoo harreen yookaan wayyaan yookaan wanni fedhe iyyuu obboleessa kee jalaa badee argite akkasuma godhi malee dhiiftee bira hin darbin.

and so you do to his donkey, and so you do to his garment, and so you do to any lost thing of your brother’s, which is lost by him, and you have found it; you are not able to hide yourself.

4 Yoo harreen yookaan sangaan obboleessa keetii karaa irratti kufee argite akka inni ol kaasee miilla isaatiin dhaabu gargaari malee bira hin darbin.

You do not see the donkey of your brother, or his ox, falling in the way, and have hid yourself from them; you certainly raise [them] up for him.

5 Dubartiin uffata dhiiraa uffachuu hin qabdu yookaan dhiirri uffata dubartii uffachuu hin qabu; Waaqayyo Waaqni kee nama waan akkasii hojjetu kam iyyuu ni jibbaatii.

Anything of a man is not on a woman, nor does a man put on the garment of a woman, for anyone doing these [is] an abomination [to] your God YHWH.

6 Ati yoo mana simbiraa kan muka irra yookaan lafa jiru utuu haati cuucii ishee yookaan anqaaquu ishee hammattee jirtuu karaa cinatti argite haadha sana cuucii ishee wajjin hin fudhatin;

When a bird’s nest comes before you in the way, in any tree, or on the earth, [with] brood or eggs, and the mother is sitting on the brood or on the eggs, you do not take the mother with the young ones;

7 ati cuucii ishee fudhachuu ni dandeessa; garuu akka siif tolee bara dheeraa jiraattuuf akka haadha gad dhiifte mirkaneeffadhu.

you certainly send the mother away, and take the young ones for yourself, so that it is well with you and you have prolonged days.

8 Yommuu mana haaraa ijaartutti akka namni bantii manaa irraa kufee mana keetti yakka dhangalaʼuu dhiigaa hin fidneef qarqara bantii isaatti ittisa tolchi.

When you build a new house, then you have made a parapet for your roof, and you do not put blood on your house when one falls from it.

9 Iddoo dhaabaa wayinii keetii keessa sanyii gosa lamaa hin facaasin; yoo ati akkas goote sanyii ati facaafte sana qofa utuu hin taʼin iji iddoo dhaabaa wayinii keetiis ni bada.

You do not sow your vineyard [with] two kinds [of seed], lest the fullness of the seed which you sow and the increase of the vineyard be separated.

10 Qotiyyoo fi harree walitti camaddee ittiin hin qotin.

You do not plow with an ox and with a donkey together.

11 Uffata suufii fi quncee talbaa kan walitti foʼamee dhaʼame hin uffatin.

You do not put on mixed material, wool and linens together.

12 Roga wayyaa uffattuu afran irratti handaara tolchi.

You make fringes for yourself on the four skirts of your covering with which you cover [yourself].

13 Yoo namni tokko niitii fuudhee erga ishee wajjin ciisee booddee ishee jibbee,

When a man takes a wife, and has gone in to her, and hated her,

14 ishees qaanessee maqaa balleessuudhaan, “Ani niitii tana fuudheera; garuu yommuu ani ishee wajjin ciisetti waan durbummaa ishee mirkaneessu hin arganne” jedhee,

and laid evil deeds of words against her, and brought out an evil name against her, and said, I have taken this woman, and I draw near to her, and I have not found proofs of virginity in her;

15 abbaa fi haati intalattii ragaa durbummaa ishee mirkaneessu balbala irratti maanguddoota magaalattiitti haa dhiʼeessan.

then the father of the girl, and her mother, have taken and brought out the girl’s proofs of virginity to [the] elderly of the city in the gate,

16 Abbaan intalattiis maanguddootaan akkana haa jedhu; “Ani intala koo nama kanatti heerumsiiseera; inni garuu ishee jibbe.

and the father of the girl has said to the elderly, I have given my daughter to this man for a wife, and he hates her;

17 Maqaa ishees balleessee, ‘Ani intala kee durbummaa isheetiin hin arganne’ jedhe. Garuu ragaan durbummaa intala kootii mirkaneessu kunoo ti.” Kana irratti abbaa fi haati ishee fuula maanguddoota magaalattii duratti wayyaa sana haa diriirsan;

and behold, he has laid evil deeds of words, saying, I have not found proofs of virginity for your daughter—and these [are] the proofs of virginity of my daughter! And they have spread out the garment before [the] elderly of the city.

18 maanguddoonni sunis namicha sana qabanii haa adaban.

And [the] elderly of that city have taken the man, and discipline him,

19 Isaanis sababii namichi kun maqaa durba Israaʼel tokkoo xureesseef meetii saqilii dhibba tokko baasisanii abbaa intalattiitiif haa kennan; isheen niitii isaa taatee haa jiraattu; innis hamma lubbuudhaan jirutti ishee hiikuu hin dandaʼu.

and fined him one hundred pieces of silver, and given [them] to the father of the girl, because he has brought out an evil name on a virgin of Israel; and she is to him for a wife—he is not able to send her away [for] all his days.

20 Taʼus yoo himannaan dhiʼaate sun dhugaa taʼee ragaan durbummaa intalattii mirkaneessu hin argamin,

And if this thing has been truth—proofs of virginity have not been found for the girl—

21 isheen balbala mana abbaa ishee duratti fidamtee namoonni magaalaa ishee hamma isheen duututti dhagaadhaan ishee haa tuman; isheen utuma mana abbaa ishee jirtuu sagaagaluudhaan gocha Israaʼel keessatti qaanii taʼe hojjetteerti. Ati gidduu keetii waan hamaa baasuu qabda.

then they have brought out the girl to the opening of her father’s house, and the men of her city have stoned her with stones and she has died, for she has done folly in Israel, to go whoring [in] her father’s house; and you have put away evil out of your midst.

22 Yoo namni tokko utuu niitii nama biraa wajjin ciisuu argame lamaan isaanii iyyuu, namichi ishee wajjin ciisee fi dubartiin sun ajjeefamuu qabu. Ati Israaʼel keessaa waan hamaa baasuu qabda.

When a man is found lying with a woman married to a husband, then both of them have died—the man who is lying with the woman, and the woman; and you have put away evil out of Israel.

23 Yoo namni tokko durba kaadhimamte magaalaatti argee ishee wajjin ciise,

When there is a girl, a virgin, betrothed to a man, and a man has found her in a city and lain with her,

24 waan isheen utuu magaalaa keessa jirtuu na oolchaa jettee hin iyyiniif, namichi immoo waan niitii nama biraa salphiseef, lamaan isaanii iyyuu gara balbala magaalaatti geessaatii hamma isaan duʼanitti dhagaadhaan tumaa. Waan hamaa gidduu keessanii balleessaa.

then you have brought them both out to the gate of that city, and stoned them with stones, and they have died: the girl, because that she has not cried in a city; and the man, because that he has humbled his neighbor’s wife; and you have put away evil out of your midst.

25 Garuu yoo namni tokko durba kadhatamte tokko baadiyyaatti argee ishee gudeede, namichi waan kana godhe qofti haa ajjeefamu.

And if the man finds the girl who is betrothed in a field, and the man has laid hold on her, and lain with her, then the man who has lain with her has died alone;

26 Intalattii hin tuqinaa; isheen cubbuu duʼaan ishee gaʼu tokko iyyuu hin hojjenneetii. Dubbiin akkasii nama balaa buusee namicha ollaa isaa ajjeesuun wal fakkaata;

and you do not do anything to the girl—the girl has no deadly sin; for as a man rises against his neighbor and has murdered him, [taking] a life, so [is] this thing;

27 kunis waan namichi durba kaadhimamte sana baadiyyaatti argatee yoo iyyite illee namni isheef birmatu hin argamneef.

for he found her in a field, [and when] she has cried—the girl who is betrothed—then she has no savior.

28 Namni tokko yoo durba hin kaadhimamin tokko argee humnaan ishee gudeedee wanni kun beekame,

When a man finds a girl, a virgin who is not betrothed, and has caught her, and lain with her, and they have been found,

29 inni abbaa isheetii fi meetii saqilii shantama haa baasu. Inni waan gudeedee durbummaa ishee balleesseef ishee fuudhuu qaba. Hamma lubbuun jiruttis ishee hiikuu hin dandaʼu.

then the man who is lying with her has given fifty pieces of silver to the father of the girl, and she is to him for a wife; because that he has humbled her, he is not able to send her away [for] all his days.

30 Namni tokko niitii abbaa isaa fuudhuu hin qabu; inni siree abbaa isaa hin xureessin.

A man does not take his father’s wife, nor uncover his father’s skirt.”
