Keessa Deebii 26

1 Ati yommuu biyya Waaqayyo Waaqni kee dhaala godhee siif kennutti galtee dhaaltee keessa qubattutti,

“And it has been, when you come into the land which your God YHWH is giving to you [for] an inheritance, and you have possessed it and dwelt in 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;

that you have taken from the first of all the fruits of the ground, which you bring in out of your land which your God YHWH is giving to you, and have put [it] in a basket, and gone to the place which your God YHWH chooses to cause His Name to dwell 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 have come to the priest who is in those days, and have said to him, I have declared to your God YHWH today that I have come into the land which YHWH has sworn to our fathers to give to us;

4 Lubni sunis guuboo sana si harkaa fuudhee iddoo aarsaa Waaqayyo Waaqa keetii dura ni kaaʼa.

and the priest has taken the basket out of your hand and placed it before the altar of your God YHWH.

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 have answered and said before your God YHWH, My father [is] a perishing Aramean! And he goes down to Egypt, and sojourns there with few men, and becomes a great, mighty, and populous nation there;

6 Warri Gibxi garuu nu hacuucuu fi nu dhiphisuudhaan hojii jabaa nutti feʼan.

and the Egyptians do us evil, and afflict us, and put hard service on us;

7 Nu ergasii gara Waaqayyo Waaqa abbootii keenyaatti iyyanne; Waaqayyos sagalee keenya dhagaʼee rakkina keenya, dadhabbii keenyaa fi hacuucamuu keenya arge.

and we cry to YHWH, God of our fathers, and YHWH hears our voice, and sees our affliction, and our labor, and our oppression;

8 Kanaafuu Waaqayyo harka jabaa fi irree diriirfameen, sodaachisa guddaadhaan, mallattoo fi dinqiidhaan Gibxii nu baase.

and YHWH brings us out from Egypt by a strong hand, and by an outstretched arm, and by great fear, and by signs, and by wonders,

9 Iddoo kanattis nu fidee biyya aannanii fi damma baaftu kana nuuf kenne;

and He brings us to this place, and gives this land to us—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.

And now, behold, I have brought in the first of the fruits of the ground which you have given to me, O YHWH. (And you have placed it before your God YHWH, and bowed yourself before your God YHWH,

11 Ati, Lewwonnii fi alagoonni gidduu kee jiraatan waan gaarii Waaqayyo Waaqni kee sii fi maatii keetiif kenne hundaan gammadaa.

and rejoiced in all the good which your God YHWH has given to you and to your house—you, and the Levite, and the sojourner who [is] in your midst.)

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 complete to tithe all the tithe of your increase in the third year, the year of the tithe, then you have given to the Levite, to the sojourner, to the fatherless, and to the widow, and they have eaten within your gates and been 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 have said before your God YHWH, I have put away the separated thing out of the house, and have also given it to the Levite, and to the sojourner, and to the orphan, and to the widow, according to all Your command which You have commanded me; I have not passed over from Your commands, nor have I forgotten.

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 of it in my affliction, nor have I put away of it for uncleanness, nor have I given of it for the dead; I have listened to the voice of my God YHWH; I have done according to all that You have commanded 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 from Your holy habitation, from the heavens, and bless Your people Israel and the ground which You have given to us, as You have sworn 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.

This day your God YHWH is commanding you to do these statutes and judgments; and you have listened and done 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 proclaimed YHWH to be to you for God, that [you are] to walk in His ways, and to keep His statutes, and His commands, and His judgments, and to listen to His voice.

18 Waaqayyos akkuma abdachiise sanatti akka ati saba isaatii fi qabeenya isaa taatee ajajawwan isaa hunda eegdu harʼa dubbateera.

And today YHWH has proclaimed you to be to Him for a people, a peculiar treasure, as He has spoken to you, that [you are] to keep all His commands,

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.

so as to make you highest above all the nations whom He has made for a praise, and for a name, and for beauty, and for your being a holy people to your God YHWH, as He has spoken.”
