Keessa Deebii 31

1 Ergasiis Museen dhaqee dubbii kana Israaʼel hundatti dubbate:

And Moses went, and spake these words unto all Israel;

2 “Ani amma nama waggaa dhibbaa fi digdamaa ti; siʼachis isin hoogganuu hin dandaʼu. Waaqayyo, ‘Ati Yordaanos hin ceetu’ naan jedheera.

and said unto them—A hundred and twenty years old, am I to-day, I can no more go out and come in, —Yahweh indeed hath said unto me, Thou shall not pass over 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.

Yahweh thy God, is passing over before thee, he, will destroy these nations from before thee so shalt thou dispossess them, —Joshua is passing over before thee, as Yahweh hath spoken.

4 Waaqayyo akkuma Sihoonii fi Oogi mootota Amoorotaa sana biyya isaanii wajjin balleesse sana isaan kanneenis ni balleessa.

So will Yahweh do unto them as he did unto Sihon and unto Og, kings of the Amorites, and unto the land of them whom he destroyed.

5 Waaqayyo dabarsee harka keessanitti isaan kenna; isinis waan ani isin ajaje hunda isaan gochuu qabdu.

So will Yahweh deliver them up before you, —and ye shall do unto them—according to all the commandment which I have commanded 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.”

Be firm and bold, do not fear nor tremble because of them, —for Yahweh thy God, it is who is going with thee, he will not fail thee nor forsake thee.

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 for Joshua, and said unto him, in the sight of all Israel. Be firm and bold, for, thou, shalt go with this people into the land which Yahweh sware unto their fathers to give unto them, and, thou shalt cause them to inherit it.

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.”

But, Yahweh, it is who is going before thee, he will be with thee, he will not fail thee nor forsake thee, —thou must not fear nor be dismayed.

9 Museenis seera kana barreessee ilmaan Lewwii kanneen luboota taʼanii taabota kakuu Waaqayyoo baatanii fi maanguddoota Israaʼel hundatti kenne.

And Moses wrote this law, and delivered it unto the priests the sons of Levi, who were bearing the ark of the covenant of Yahweh, —and unto 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 Moses commanded them, saying, —At the end of seven years in the appointed season of the year of release, during the festival of booths;

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 Israel cometh in to see the face of Yahweh thy God, in the place which he shall choose, thou shalt read this law before all 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.

Call together the people—the men and the women and the little ones, and thy sojourner who is within thy gates, —that they may hear, and that they may learn, so shall they revere Yahweh your God, and observe to do 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 that their children who know not, may hear and learn, that they may revere Yahweh your God, —all the days that ye are living upon the soil, which ye are passing over the Jordan to possess.

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.

Then said Yahweh unto Moses: Lo! thy days have drawn near that thou must die. Call Joshua and station yourselves in the tent of meeting, that I may command him. So Moses went, with Joshua, and they took their station in the tent of meeting.

15 Waaqayyo utubaa duumessaatiin dhufee dunkaanicha keessatti mulʼate; duumessi sunis balbala dunkaanichaa dura dhaabate.

And Yahweh appeared in the tent, in a pillar of cloud, —and the pillar of cloud stood, at the entrance of the tent.

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.

Then said Yahweh unto Moses, Lo! thou art about to sleep with thy fathers, —and this people will rise up, and go away unchastely after the gods of the foreigners of the land into the midst of whom they are entering, and will forsake me and break my covenant which I solemnised 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.

Then will mine anger kindle upon them in that day, and I will forsake them and will hide my face from them and they shall be consumed, and many calamities and misfortunes shall find them out, —and they will say, in that day, Is it not because my God is not in my midst, that these calamities have found me out?

18 Waan isaan gara waaqota biraatti garagalaniif ani sababii hammina isaanii hundaatiif guutumaan guutuutti fuula koo isaan duraa nan dhokfadha.

But, I, will utterly, hide, my face, in that day, because of all the wickedness which they have done, in that they have turned away unto other gods.

19 “Akka isaanitti ragaa naa taʼuuf, faarfannaa kana barreeffadhuutii akka isaan faarfataniif Israaʼeloota barsiisi.

Now, therefore write ye for you this Song, and teach it unto the sons of Israel put it in their mouths, —that this Song may become for me a witness against 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.

When I bring them upon the soil which I sware unto their fathers, flowing with milk and honey, and they shall eat and be filled and wax fat, then will they turn away unto other gods and serve them, and despise me, and break 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 it shall come to pass, when many calamities and misfortunes shall find them out, then shall this Song respond to their face, as a witness, for it shall not be forgotten out of the mouth of their seed, for I know their imagination, which they are forming to-day, ere yet I bring them into the land of which I sware unto their fathers.

22 Kanaafuu Museen gaafas faarfannaa kana barreessee Israaʼeloota barsiise.

Moses therefore wrote this Song on that day, —and taught it unto 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 he commanded Joshua, son of Nun, and said—Be firm and bold, for, thou shalt bring the sons of Israel into the land which I have sworn to them, —and, I, will be with thee.

24 Museen erga dubbii seera kanaa jalqabaa hamma dhumaatti kitaaba irratti barreessee fixee booddee,

And it came to pass, when Moses had made an end of writing the words of this law, upon a scroll, —until he had finished them,

25 Lewwota taabota kakuu Waaqayyoo baataniif ajaja kana kenne:

then Moses commanded the Levites, who were bearing the ark of the covenant of Yahweh, saying:

26 “Kitaaba Seeraa kana fudhuutii taabota kakuu Waaqayyo Waaqa keetii bira kaaʼi. Kunis akka inni achuma taaʼee ragaa isinitti taʼuuf.

Take this scroll of the law, and put it at the side of the ark of the covenant of Yahweh your God, —so shall it be there in thy midst as a witness.

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 thy perverseness, and thy stiff neck, —lo! while I am yet alive with you to-day, ye are, quarrelling, with Yahweh, and how much more after my death?

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.

Call together unto me all the elders of your tribes and your officers, —and let me speak in their hearing these words, and let me take to witness against them the heavens and the earth.

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, ye will break faith, and turn aside out of the way which I have commanded you, —and calamity will befall you in the afterpart of the days, because ye will do the thing that is wicked in the eyes of Yahweh, to provoke him with the work of your own hands.

30 Museenis jalqabaa hamma dhumaatti dubbii faarfannaa kanaa guutummaa waldaa Israaʼelitti akkana jedhee dhageessise:

So Moses spake in the hearing of all the convocation of Israel the words of this Song, until they were ended: —
