Keessa Deebii 26
1 Ati yommuu biyya Waaqayyo Waaqni kee dhaala godhee siif kennutti galtee dhaaltee keessa qubattutti,
Once you've entered the country that the Lord your God is giving you to own, and you take it over and settle there,
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;
take some of the firstfruits of all your crops produced by the land that the Lord your God is giving you and place them in a basket. Then go to the place the Lord your God will choose to live with you,
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 tell the priest in charge at the time, “Today I declare to the Lord your God that I now live in the country that the Lord promised our forefathers to give us.”
4 Lubni sunis guuboo sana si harkaa fuudhee iddoo aarsaa Waaqayyo Waaqa keetii dura ni kaaʼa.
The priest will take the basket from you and place it in front of 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.
Then this is what you are to publicly declare before the Lord your God, “My father was a Aramean who moved from place to place. There were only a few of them when he and his family went to live in Egypt. But they became a large and powerful nation.
6 Warri Gibxi garuu nu hacuucuu fi nu dhiphisuudhaan hojii jabaa nutti feʼan.
But the Egyptians treated us very badly, oppressing us and forcing us to do hard labor.
7 Nu ergasii gara Waaqayyo Waaqa abbootii keenyaatti iyyanne; Waaqayyos sagalee keenya dhagaʼee rakkina keenya, dadhabbii keenyaa fi hacuucamuu keenya arge.
We cried out for help to the Lord, the God of our forefathers; and the Lord answered us as he saw how much we were suffering, forced to work so hard in such cruelty.
8 Kanaafuu Waaqayyo harka jabaa fi irree diriirfameen, sodaachisa guddaadhaan, mallattoo fi dinqiidhaan Gibxii nu baase.
The Lord led us out of Egypt with his great power and incredible strength and terrifying actions, signs and miracles.
9 Iddoo kanattis nu fidee biyya aannanii fi damma baaftu kana nuuf kenne;
He brought us here and gave us this country, a 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.
Look, Lord! I have brought you the firstfruits of the land that you have given me.” You shall place the basket before the Lord your God and bow down in worship before him.
11 Ati, Lewwonnii fi alagoonni gidduu kee jiraatan waan gaarii Waaqayyo Waaqni kee sii fi maatii keetiif kenne hundaan gammadaa.
Then you, the Levites, and the foreigners who live with you are to celebrate all the good things the Lord your God has given to you and your family.
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.
Once you've finished storing up a tenth of all your crops in the third year, (the year of the tithe), you shall give it to the Levites, the foreigners, the orphans, and the widows, so they will have enough to eat in your towns.
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.
Then you are to make this declaration in the presence of the Lord your God: “I have brought the holy tithe and I have given it to the Levite, the foreigners, the orphans, and the widows as you have ordered me to do. I have not broken or forgotten your commandments.
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 any of the holy tithe while in mourning, or taken any of it while I was unclean, or used any of it as an offering for the dead. I have obeyed the Lord my God. I have done everything you ordered me to do.
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.”
Please look down from your home in heaven, and bless your people the Israelites and the country you have given us as you promised 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 orders you to carry out these rules and regulations. Make sure you follow them with all your mind and with all your being.
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 publicly declared that the Lord is your God and that you will follow his ways, keep rules and commandments and regulations, and obey what he says.
18 Waaqayyos akkuma abdachiise sanatti akka ati saba isaatii fi qabeenya isaa taatee ajajawwan isaa hunda eegdu harʼa dubbateera.
Today the Lord has announced that you are a special people who belong to him as he promised. He has announced that you are to keep all his commandments.
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.
He has announced that he will give you greater praise and reputation and honor than any other nation he has made. He has announced that you will be a holy people to the Lord your God, as he promised.
