Keessa Deebii 29

1 Dubbiin kakuu kan Waaqayyo kakuu Kooreebitti isaan wajjin gale sana irratti dabalee akka inni Moʼaab keessatti Israaʼeloota wajjin galuuf Musee ajaje kanaa dha.

These are the words of the covenant which the Lord instructed Moses to form with the sons of Israel in the land of Moab, beside that covenant which he struck with them at Horeb.

2 Museen Israaʼeloota hunda walitti waamee akkana jedheen: Waan Waaqayyo Gibxi keessatti Faraʼoon irratti, qondaaltota isaa hundaa fi guutummaa biyya isaa irratti hojjete hunda iji keessan argeera.

And Moses called all of Israel, and he said to them: “You have seen all the things that the Lord has done in your sight in the land of Egypt to Pharaoh, and to all his servants, and to his entire land:

3 Isin qorumsawwan gurguddaa sana, mallattoowwanii fi dinqiiwwan gurguddaa sana ijuma keessaniin argitaniirtu.

the great trials, which your eyes have seen, those immense signs and wonders.

4 Waaqayyo garuu hamma harʼaatti qalbii hubatu yookaan ija argitu yookaan gurra dhagaʼu isinii hin kennine.

But the Lord has not given you an understanding heart, and seeing eyes, and ears that are able to hear, even to this present day.

5 Yeroo waggoota afurtamman ani gammoojjii keessa isin geggeesse sanatti uffanni keessan isin irratti hin dhumne yookaan kopheen miilla keessan irratti hin ciccinne.

He led you for forty years through the desert. Your garments have not been worn out, nor have the shoes on your feet been consumed by age.

6 Isin buddeena hin nyaanne; daadhii wayinii yookaan dhugaatii nama macheessu hin dhugne. Ani akka isin akka ani Waaqayyo Waaqa keessan taʼe beektaniifan waan kana godhe.

You did not eat bread, nor did you drink wine or liquor, so that you would know that I am the Lord your God.

7 Yommuu isin as geessanitti Sihoon mootiin Heshboonii fi Oogi mootiin Baashaan nu loluuf nutti baʼan; nu garuu isaan moʼanne.

And you arrived at this place. And Sihon, the king of Heshbon, and Og, the king of Bashan, went out to meet us in battle. And we struck them down.

8 Biyya isaaniis fudhannee gosa Ruubeeniif, gosa Gaadii fi walakkaa gosa Minaaseetiif dhaala goonee kennine.

And we took their land and delivered it as a possession to Ruben and to Gad, and to half of the tribe of Manasseh.

9 Isin akka waan hojjettan hundaan milkooftaniif dubbiiwwan kakuu kanaa of eeggannaadhaan duukaa buʼaa.

Therefore, keep the words of this covenant, and fulfill them, so that you may understand all that you are doing.

10 Hundi keessan jechuunis qajeelchitoonnii fi hooggantoonni keessan, maanguddoonnii fi qondaaltonni keessan akkasumas namoonni Israaʼel kanneen biraa hundinuu harʼa fuula Waaqayyo Waaqa keessanii dura dhaabattaniirtu;

Today, you all stand in the sight of the Lord your God: your leaders, and tribes, and those greater by birth, and teachers, all the people of Israel,

11 ijoolleen keessanii fi niitonni keessan akkasumas alagoonni muka kee ciraa, bishaan kees waraabaa qubata kee keessa jiraatan si wajjin dhaabataniiru.

your children and wives, and the new arrival who dwells with you in the camp, aside from those who cut wood, and those who bring water,

12 Atis kakuu Waaqayyo harʼa si wajjin galee kakaadhaan siif mirkaneessu kana Waaqayyo Waaqa kee wajjin galuuf as dhaabatteerta;

so that you may cross into the covenant of the Lord your God, and into the oath which the Lord your God strikes with you today.

13 innis akkuma si abdachiisee abbootii kee Abrahaamiif, Yisihaaqii fi Yaaqoobiif waadaa gale sanatti akka ati saba isaa taatee innis Waaqa kee taʼuuf jabeessee si dhaabuuf waan kana godhe.

So shall he raise you up as a people to himself, and so shall he be your God, just as he has spoken to you, and just as he swore to your fathers: Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

14 Anis kakuu kakaadhaan mirkanaaʼe kana isin qofa wajjin utuu hin taʼin,

And I am not forming this covenant and confirm these oaths with you alone,

15 warra nu wajjin as fuula Waaqayyo Waaqa keenyaa dura dhaabatan warra harʼa as hin jirre wajjinis nan gala.

but with all those who are present as well as those who are absent.

16 Akka nu itti Gibxi keessa jiraannee fi yommuu as dhufnus akka nu itti biyyoota keessa dabarre isin mataan keessanuu ni beektu.

For you know how we lived in the land of Egypt, and how we passed through the midst of nations. And when passing through them,

17 Isinis gidduu isaaniitti fakkiiwwan isaanii jibbisiisoo, waaqota isaanii tolfamoo kanneen muka, dhagaa, meetii fi warqee irraa hojjetaman argitaniirtu.

you saw their abominations and filth, that is, their idols of wood and of stone, of silver and of gold, which they worshipped,

18 Akka dhiirri yookaan dubartiin balballi yookaan gosti garaan isaa Waaqayyo Waaqa keenya irraa garagalee waaqota saboota sanaa faana buʼe isin gidduu hin jiraanne mirkaneeffadhaa; akka hiddi summii hadhaaʼaa akkasii baasu tokko iyyuu isin gidduu hin jiraanne qulqulleeffadhaa.

so that there would not be among you man or woman, family or tribe, whose heart has been turned away this day from the Lord our God, so as to go and serve the gods of those nations. For then there would be among you a root springing forth gall and bitterness.

19 Namni akkasii yommuu dubbii kakuu kanaa dhagaʼutti, garaa isaatti of eebbisee, “Ani yoon akka fedhii kootti deeme illee nagaa qaba” jedhee yaada. Kun immoo lafa jiidhaa irrattis taʼu lafa goggogaa irratti badiisa fida.

And if he were to hear the words of this oath, he would bless himself in his own heart saying: ‘There will be peace for me, and I will walk in the depravity of my heart.’ And so, the one who is inebriated would consume the one who is thirsty.

20 Waaqayyo nama sanaaf gonkumaa dhiifama hin godhu; dheekkamsi isaatii fi hinaaffaan isaa namicha sana irratti bobaʼa. Abaarsi kitaaba kana keessatti barreeffame hundi isa qaqqaba; Waaqayyos samii jalaa maqaa isaa ni dhabamsiisa.

But the Lord would not ignore him. Instead, at that time, his fury and zealousness would be very greatly enflamed against that man, and all the curses which have been written in this volume would settle upon him. And the Lord would abolish his name from under heaven,

21 Akkuma kakuu abaarsa Kitaaba Seeraa kana keessatti barreeffame hundaatti, Waaqayyo gosoota Israaʼel hunda keessaa badiisaaf kophaatti isa baasa.

and consume him unto perdition out of all the tribes of Israel, according to the curses which are contained in the book of this law and in the covenant.

22 Dhaloonni itti aanu jechuunis ijoolleen keessan warri isiniin duuba dhufan akkasumas keessummoonni biyyoota fagootii dhufan dhaʼicha guddaa biyyattii irra gaʼee fi dhukkuba Waaqayyo ittiin ishee dhaʼe ni argu.

And the subsequent generation would speak out, along with the sons who will be born afterward. And the sojourners, who will arrive from far away, will see the plagues of that land and the infirmities with which the Lord will have afflicted it,

23 Guutummaan biyyattii gammoojjii gubduu kan soogiddaa fi dinyiin guutamte kan wanni tokko iyyuu irra hin dhaabamne, kan wanni tokko iyyuu irratti hin biqille, kan biqiltuun tokko iyyuu irratti hin guddanne taati. Badiisni ishee irra gaʼus akka badiisa Sodoomiitii fi Gomoraa, Adimaatii fi Zebooʼiim kanneen Waaqayyo dheekkamsa guddaadhaan isaan barbadeesse sanaa ni taʼa.

having burned it with sulphur and molten salt, so that it can no longer be sown. And certainly no greenery would spring up, as in the example of the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah, Admah and Zeboiim, which the Lord overturned with his wrath and fury.

24 Sabni hundinuu, “Waaqayyo maaliif waan akkasii biyya kanatti fide? Dheekkamsi sodaachisaan bobaʼu kunis maaliif dhufe?” jedhanii gaafatu.

And so, all the nations would say: ‘Why has the Lord acted this way toward this land? What is this immense wrath of his fury?’

25 Deebiin isaas kana taʼa; “Kun sababii sabni kun kakuu Waaqayyo Waaqni abbootii isaanii yeroo Gibxii isaan baasetti isaan wajjin gale sana dhiisaniif.

And they will respond: ‘Because they abandoned the covenant of the Lord, which he formed with their fathers, when he led them away from the land of Egypt.

26 Isaanis dhaqanii waaqota biraa, kanneen hin beekiniif waaqota inni isaaniif hin kennin waaqeffatan; gad jedhaniis sagadaniif.

And they have served foreign gods, and adored them, though they did not know them, and though they had not been allotted to them.

27 Kanaafuu dheekkamsi Waaqayyoo biyya kanatti bobaʼee akka inni abaarsa kitaaba kana keessatti barreeffame hunda itti fidu godhe.

For this reason, the fury of the Lord was enraged against this land, so as to lead over it all the curses which have been written in this volume.

28 Waaqayyos aarii sodaachisaa fi dheekkamsa guddaadhaan biyya isaaniitii isaan buqqise; akkuma amma jiru kanattis biyya biraatti isaan darbate.”

And he has cast them out of their own land, with anger and fury, and with a very great indignation, and he has thrown them into a strange land, just as has been proven this day.’

29 Wanti dhoksaan kan Waaqayyo Waaqa keenyaa ti; kan mulʼifame garuu akka nu dubbii seera kanaa hunda eegnuuf bara baraan kan keenyaa fi kan ijoollee keenyaa ti.

These hidden things of the Lord our God have been revealed to us and to our sons in perpetuity, so that we may accomplish all the words of this law.”
