Keessa Deebii 26
1 Ati yommuu biyya Waaqayyo Waaqni kee dhaala godhee siif kennutti galtee dhaaltee keessa qubattutti,
“And when you will have entered into the land which the Lord your God will give to you to possess, and when you will have obtained it and are living within it:
2 midhaan lafa biyya Waaqayyo Waaqni kee siif kennu irraa argattu hunda irraa mataa isaa fuudhiitii guuboo keessa kaaʼi. Ergasiis iddoo Waaqayyo Waaqni kee iddoo jireenya Maqaa isaatiif filatu dhaqi;
you shall take the first of all your crops, and place them in a basket, and you shall travel to the place which the Lord your God will choose, so that his name may be invoked there.
3 luba yeroo sanatti hojii irra jiruun, “Ani biyya Waaqayyo akka nuu kennu abbootii keenyaaf waadaa galetti dhufuu koo harʼa fuula Waaqayyo Waaqa keetii duratti nan labsa” jedhi.
And you shall approach the priest who will be in those days, and you shall say to him: ‘I profess this day, before the Lord your God, that I have entered into the land about which he swore to our fathers that he would give it to us.’
4 Lubni sunis guuboo sana si harkaa fuudhee iddoo aarsaa Waaqayyo Waaqa keetii dura ni kaaʼa.
And the priest, taking up the basket from your hand, shall place it before the altar of the Lord your God.
5 Atis Waaqayyo Waaqa kee duratti akkana jettee ni labsita; “Abbaan koo nama biyya Arraam kan asii fi achi godaanu ture; innis namoota xinnoo fudhatee Gibxitti gad buʼe; achis jiraatee saba guddaa, humna qabeessaa fi akka malee baayʼee taʼe.
And you shall say, in the sight of the Lord your God: ‘The Syrian pursued my father, who descended into Egypt, and he sojourned there in a very small number, and he increased into a great and strong nation and into an innumerable multitude.
6 Warri Gibxi garuu nu hacuucuu fi nu dhiphisuudhaan hojii jabaa nutti feʼan.
And the Egyptians afflicted us, and they persecuted us, imposing upon us the most grievous burdens.
7 Nu ergasii gara Waaqayyo Waaqa abbootii keenyaatti iyyanne; Waaqayyos sagalee keenya dhagaʼee rakkina keenya, dadhabbii keenyaa fi hacuucamuu keenya arge.
And we cried out to the Lord, the God of our fathers. He heard us, and he looked with favor upon our humiliation, and hardship, and distress.
8 Kanaafuu Waaqayyo harka jabaa fi irree diriirfameen, sodaachisa guddaadhaan, mallattoo fi dinqiidhaan Gibxii nu baase.
And he led us away from Egypt, with a strong hand and an outstretched arm, with a mighty terror, with signs and wonders.
9 Iddoo kanattis nu fidee biyya aannanii fi damma baaftu kana nuuf kenne;
And he led us into this place, and he delivered to us the land flowing with milk and honey.
10 ammas yaa Waaqayyo kunoo, ani midhaan lafa ati naa kennitee irraa mataa isaa fideera.” Guuboo sanas fuula Waaqayyo Waaqa keetii dura kaaʼiitii fuula isaa duratti gad jedhii sagadi.
And because of this, I now offer the first fruits of the land which the Lord has given to me.’ And you shall leave them in the sight of the Lord your God, and you shall adore the Lord your God.
11 Ati, Lewwonnii fi alagoonni gidduu kee jiraatan waan gaarii Waaqayyo Waaqni kee sii fi maatii keetiif kenne hundaan gammadaa.
And you shall feast on all the good things which the Lord your God will give to you and to your house: you, and the Levite, and the new arrival who is with you.
12 Yommuu waggaa sadaffaatti jechuunis waggaa itti kennaa kudhan keessaa tokko baafamutti midhaan kee irraa erga kennaa kudhan keessaa tokko baaftee raawwatee booddee akka isaan magaalaawwan kee keessatti nyaatanii quufaniif Lewwotaaf, alagootaaf, ijoollee abbaa hin qabnee fi haadhota hiyyeessaatiif kenni.
When you will have completed the tithing of all your crops, in the third year of tithes, you shall give it to the Levite, and to the new arrival, and to the orphan, and to the widow, so that they may eat within your gates and be satisfied.
13 Ergasii Waaqayyo Waaqa keetiin akkana jedhi; “Ani akkuma ajaja kee kan ati na ajajje hundaatti qooda qulqulluu mana kootii baasee Lewwotaaf, alagootaaf, ijoollee abbaa hin qabnee fi haadhota hiyyeessaatiif kenneera. Ani ajajawwan kee irraa hin gorre yookaan tokkoo isaanii illee hin daganne.
And you shall say, in the sight of the Lord your God: ‘I have taken what was sanctified from my house, and I have given it to the Levite, and to the new arrival, and to the orphan and the widow, just as you have commanded me. I have not transgressed your commandments, nor have I forgotten your precepts.
14 Ani yeroon gadda irra tures kutaa qulqulluu sana irraa homaa hin nyaanne; yookaan ani yeroon xuraaʼetti isa irraa waan tokko illee hin fuune; warra duʼaniifis hin dhiʼeessine; ani Waaqayyo Waaqa kootiif ajajameera; waan ati na ajajje hundas hojjedheera.
I have not eaten from these things in my grief, nor have I separated them due to any kind of uncleanness, nor have I expended any of these things in funerals. I have obeyed the voice of the Lord my God, and I have done all things just as you have instructed me.
15 Samii irraa, iddoo jireenya keetii qulqulluu irraa gad ilaali; saba kee Israaʼelii fi biyya akkuma abbootii keenyaaf waadaa galtetti nuu kennite kan aannanii fi dammi keessaa burqu kana eebbisi.”
Look with favor from your sanctuary and from your lofty habitation amid the heavens, and bless your people Israel and the land which you have given to us, just as you swore to our fathers, a land flowing with milk and honey.’
16 Waaqayyo Waaqni kee akka ati ajajawwanii fi seerawwan kanneen eegdu harʼa si ajaja; ati akka garaa kee guutuu fi lubbuu kee guutuudhaan isaan eegdu of eeggadhu.
Today the Lord your God has instructed you to carry out these commandments and judgments, and to keep and fulfill them, with all your heart and with all your soul.
17 Ati akka Waaqayyo Waaqa kee taʼee fi akka karaa isaa irra deddeebitu, akka qajeelchawwan isaa, ajajawwanii fi seerawwan isaa eegdee isaaf ajajamtu harʼa dubbatteerta.
Today, you have chosen the Lord to be your God, so that you may walk in his ways, and keep his ceremonies and commandments and judgments, and obey his command.
18 Waaqayyos akkuma abdachiise sanatti akka ati saba isaatii fi qabeenya isaa taatee ajajawwan isaa hunda eegdu harʼa dubbateera.
Today, the Lord has chosen you, so that you may be his particular people, just as he has spoken to you, and so that you may keep all his precepts,
19 Inni akka saboota uume hundaan olitti galataan, maqaa fi ulfinaan ol si kaasuu fi akkuma waadaa gale sanaatti akka ati Waaqayyo Waaqa keetiif saba qulqulluu taatu dubbateera.
and so that he may cause you to be more exalted than all the nations which he has created, for the sake of his own praise and name and glory, in order that you may be a holy people for the Lord your God, just as he has spoken.”
