Keessa Deebii 31
1 Ergasiis Museen dhaqee dubbii kana Israaʼel hundatti dubbate:
And so, Moses went out, and he spoke all these words to all of Israel.
2 “Ani amma nama waggaa dhibbaa fi digdamaa ti; siʼachis isin hoogganuu hin dandaʼu. Waaqayyo, ‘Ati Yordaanos hin ceetu’ naan jedheera.
And he said to them: “Today, I am one hundred and twenty years old. I am no longer able to go out and return, especially since the Lord has also said to me, ‘You shall not cross this Jordan.’
3 Waaqayyo Waaqni kee mataan isaa si dura ni ceʼa. Inni saboota kanneen fuula kee duraa ni barbadeessa; atis biyya isaanii ni dhaalta. Akkuma Waaqayyo jedhetti, Iyyaasuunis si dura ni ceʼa.
Therefore, the Lord your God will go across before you. He himself will abolish all these nations in your sight, and you shall possess them. And this man Joshua shall go across before you, just as the Lord has spoken.
4 Waaqayyo akkuma Sihoonii fi Oogi mootota Amoorotaa sana biyya isaanii wajjin balleesse sana isaan kanneenis ni balleessa.
And the Lord will do to them just as he did to Sihon and Og, the kings of the Amorites, and to their land, and he will wipe them away.
5 Waaqayyo dabarsee harka keessanitti isaan kenna; isinis waan ani isin ajaje hunda isaan gochuu qabdu.
Therefore, when the Lord will have delivered these to you also, you shall act similarly toward them, just as I have instructed you.
6 Cimaa; jabaadhaa. Waaqayyo Waaqni keessan isin wajjin deemaatii isin sababii isaaniitiif jettanii hin sodaatinaa yookaan hin rifatinaa; inni gonkumaa isin hin dhiisu yookaan isin hin gatu.”
Act manfully and be strengthened. Do not be afraid, and do not dread at the sight of them. For the Lord your God himself is your commander, and he will neither dismiss nor abandon you.”
7 Kana irratti Museen Iyyaasuu ofitti waamee fuula Israaʼel hundaa duratti akkana jedheen; “Ati sababii biyya Waaqayyo isaaniif kennuuf abbootii isaaniitiif kakatetti galuuf saba kana wajjin deemtuuf cimi; jabaadhus; biyyattiis akka dhaalan godhi.
And Moses called Joshua, and, before all of Israel, he said to him: ‘Be strong and valiant. For you shall lead this people into the land which the Lord swore that he would give to their fathers, and you shall divide it by lot.
8 Waaqayyo mataan isaa si dura ni deema; si wajjinis ni jiraata; inni si hin dhiisu yookaan si hin gatu. Hin sodaatin; abdiis hin kutatin.”
And the Lord, who is your commander, will himself be with you. He will neither renounce nor abandon you. Do not be afraid, and do not dread.”
9 Museenis seera kana barreessee ilmaan Lewwii kanneen luboota taʼanii taabota kakuu Waaqayyoo baatanii fi maanguddoota Israaʼel hundatti kenne.
And so, Moses wrote this law, and he handed it to the priests, the sons of Levi, who carried the ark of the covenant of the Lord, and to all the elders of Israel.
10 Ergasiis Museen akkana jedhee isaan ajaje; “Dhuma waggaa torbaffaatti, yeroo itti gatiin dhiifamutti, yeroo itti Ayyaanni Daasii ayyaaneffamutti,
And he instructed them, saying: “After seven years, in the year of remission, at the solemnity of the Feast of Tabernacles,
11 yommuu Israaʼel hundi fuula Waaqayyo Waaqa keetii duratti mulʼachuuf lafa inni filatu dhufanitti akka isaan dhagaʼaniif fuula isaanii duratti seera kana isaanii dubbifta.
when all of Israel has convened in order to appear in the sight of the Lord your God, in the place which the Lord will choose, you shall read the words of this law before all of Israel, in their hearing.
12 Akka isaan dubbii seera kanaa hunda dhagaʼanii Waaqayyo Waaqa kee sodaachuu baratanii fi of eeggannaadhaan faana buʼaniif namoota jechuunis dhiirota, dubartoota, ijoollee fi alagoota magaalaawwan kee keessa jiraatan walitti qabi.
And when the people have gathered together, men as well as women and little children, and the new arrivals who are within your gates, they shall listen so that they may learn, and may fear the Lord your God, and may keep and fulfill all the words of this law,
13 Bara isin biyya Yordaanos ceetanii dhaaltan keessa jiraattan guutuu ijoolleen isaanii kanneen seera kana hin beeknes dhagaʼuu fi Waaqayyo Waaqa isaanii sodaachuu barachuu qabu.”
and also so that their sons, who are now ignorant, may be able to listen, and may fear the Lord their God all the days that they live in the land to which you will travel, crossing the Jordan in order to obtain it.”
14 Waaqayyo Museedhaan, “Yeroon ati duutu dhiʼaateera. Akka ani waan inni hojjechuu malu itti himuuf Iyyaasuu waamiitii dunkaana wal gaʼii biratti dhiʼaadhaa” jedhe. Musee fi Iyyaasuunis dhufanii dunkaana wal gaʼii duratti dhiʼaatan.
And the Lord said to Moses: “Behold, the days of your death draw near. Call Joshua, and stand in the tabernacle of the testimony, so that I may instruct him.” Therefore, Moses and Joshua went and stood in the tabernacle of the testimony.
15 Waaqayyo utubaa duumessaatiin dhufee dunkaanicha keessatti mulʼate; duumessi sunis balbala dunkaanichaa dura dhaabate.
And the Lord appeared there, in a pillar of cloud, which stood at the entrance of the tabernacle.
16 Waaqayyos Museedhaan akkana jedhe; “Ati abbootii kee wajjin ni boqotta; sabni kun immoo yommuu suma biyya dhaaluuf itti galutti waaqota Namoota Ormaa duukaa buʼee sagaagaluu jalqaba. Isaan na dhiisanii kakuu ani isaan wajjin gale ni cabsu.
And the Lord said to Moses: “Behold, you shall sleep with your fathers, and this people will rise up and will fornicate after foreign gods, in the land which they will enter so that they may live in it. In that place, they will forsake me, and they will make void the covenant that I have formed with them.
17 Gaafas ani isaanitti aaree isaan nan dhiisa; fuula koos isaan duraa nan dhoksa; isaanis ni barbadeeffamu. Badiisaa fi rakkoo baayʼeetu isaanitti dhufa; isaanis gaafasi, ‘Badiisni kun waan Waaqni keenya nu wajjin hin jirreef nutti dhufe mitii?’ jedhanii gaafatu.
And my fury will be enraged against them in that day. And I will abandon them, and I will hide my face from them, and they shall be devoured. Every evil and affliction will find them, so much so that they will say in that day: ‘Truly, it is because God is not with me that these evils have found me.’
18 Waan isaan gara waaqota biraatti garagalaniif ani sababii hammina isaanii hundaatiif guutumaan guutuutti fuula koo isaan duraa nan dhokfadha.
But I will hide myself, and I will conceal my face in that day, because of all the evils that they have done, because they have followed strange gods.
19 “Akka isaanitti ragaa naa taʼuuf, faarfannaa kana barreeffadhuutii akka isaan faarfataniif Israaʼeloota barsiisi.
And so, write this canticle now, and teach it to the sons of Israel, so that they may retain it in memory, and may chant it by mouth, and so that this verse may be a testimony to me among the sons of Israel.
20 Yommuu ani biyya aannanii fi dammi keessaa burqu kan ani abbootii isaaniitiif kakuudhaan waadaa galetti isaan fidutti isaan nyaatanii quufanii narraa garagaluudhaan waaqota biraa waaqeffatu; na dhiisaniis kakuu koo ni cabsu.
For I will lead them into the land, about which I swore to their fathers, a land flowing with milk and honey. And when they have eaten, and have been satiated and fattened, they will turn aside to foreign gods, and they will serve them. And they will disparage me, and they will nullify my covenant.
21 Faarfannaan kunis yommuu badiisnii fi rakkinni isaanitti dhufuti ragaa isaanitti taʼa; kun sanyii isaanii keessatti hin irraanfatamuutii. Ani utuu biyya kakuudhaan waadaa isaanii galetti isaan hin fidin iyyuu waan isaan gochuuf yaadan nan beekaatii.”
And after many evils and afflictions have overwhelmed them, this canticle will answer them as a testimony; it shall never pass into oblivion, away from the mouths of their offspring. For I know their thoughts and what they are about to do today, even before I lead them into the land which I have promised to them.”
22 Kanaafuu Museen gaafas faarfannaa kana barreessee Israaʼeloota barsiise.
Therefore, Moses wrote the canticle, and he taught it to the sons of Israel.
23 Waaqayyos Iyyaasuu ilma Nuunitiif ajaja, “Ati sababii biyya ani kakuudhaan waadaa isaanii galetti Israaʼeloota galchituuf cimi, jabaadhu; ani mataan koo si wajjin jiraa” jedhu kenne.
And the Lord instructed Joshua, the son of Nun, and he said: “Be strong and valiant. For you shall lead the sons of Israel into the land which I have promised, and I will be with you.”
24 Museen erga dubbii seera kanaa jalqabaa hamma dhumaatti kitaaba irratti barreessee fixee booddee,
Therefore, after Moses had written the words of this law in a volume, and had finished it,
25 Lewwota taabota kakuu Waaqayyoo baataniif ajaja kana kenne:
he instructed the Levites, who carried the ark of the covenant of the Lord, saying:
26 “Kitaaba Seeraa kana fudhuutii taabota kakuu Waaqayyo Waaqa keetii bira kaaʼi. Kunis akka inni achuma taaʼee ragaa isinitti taʼuuf.
“Take this book, and place it inside the ark of the covenant of the Lord your God, so that it may be there as a testimony against you.
27 Ani akka isin finciltootaa fi mata jabeeyyii taatan nan beekaatii. Isin yoo utuma ani jiruu Waaqayyotti finciltan, erga ani duʼee booddee immoo hammam caalaa haa finciltan ree!
For I know your contentiousness and your very stiff neck. Even while I am still living and entering with you, you have always acted with contention against the Lord. How much more so when I will be dead?
28 Akka ani akka isaan dhagaʼaniif dubbii kana isaanitti hime akka isaanitti ragaa taʼuuf samii fi lafa waammachuu dandaʼuuf maanguddoota gosoota keessanii hundaa fi qondaaltota keessan hunda fuula koo duratti walitti qabaa.
Gather to me all those greater by birth throughout your tribes, as well as your teachers, and I will speak these words in their hearing, and I will call heaven and earth as witnesses against them.
29 Ani akka isin erga ani duʼee booddee guutumaan guutuutti xurooftanii ajaja ani isinii kenne irraa garagaltan nan beekaatii. Baroota dhufuuf jiran keessa rakkinni isinitti dhufa; isin fuula Waaqayyoo duratti waan hamaa hojjettanii hojiidhuma harka keessaniitiin dheekkamsaaf isa kakaaftuutii.”
For I know that, after my death, you will act with iniquity, and you will quickly depart from the way that I have instructed to you. And so, evils will meet you in the end time, when you will have done evil in the sight of the Lord so as to provoke him through the works of your hands.”
30 Museenis jalqabaa hamma dhumaatti dubbii faarfannaa kanaa guutummaa waldaa Israaʼelitti akkana jedhee dhageessise:
Thus did Moses speak, in the hearing of the entire assembly of Israel, the words of this canticle, and he completed it to its very end.
