Keessa Deebii 4

1 Yaa Israaʼel, ajajawwanii fi seerawwan ani isin barsiisu dhagaʼaa. Akka jiraattanii fi dhaqxanii biyya Waaqayyo Waaqni abbootii keessanii isiniif kennu dhaaltaniifis isaan duukaa buʼaa.

And now, Israel, hear the ordinances and judgments, all that I teach you this day to do: that ye may live, and be multiplied, and that ye may go in and inherit the land, which the Lord God of your fathers gives you.

2 Ajaja Waaqayyo Waaqa keessanii kan ani isiniif kennu eegaa malee waan tokko illee itti hin dabalinaa yookaan irraa hin hirʼisinaa.

Ye shall not add to the word which I command you, and ye shall not take from it: keep the commandments of the Lord our God, all that I command you this day.

3 Isin waan Waaqayyo Baʼaal Pheʼooritti hojjete ijuma keessaniin argitaniirtu. Waaqayyo Waaqni keessan warra isin gidduudhaa Baʼaal Pheʼoor duukaa buʼan hunda balleesseera;

Your eyes have seen all that the Lord our God did in [the case of] Beel-phegor; for every man that went after Beel-phegor, the Lord your God has utterly destroyed him from among you.

4 isin warri Waaqayyo Waaqa keessan qabattan hundi garuu hamma harʼaatti lubbuudhaan jiraattan.

But ye that kept close to the Lord your God are all alive to-day.

5 Kunoo, akka isin biyya dhaaluuf itti galuuf jirtanitti isaan duukaa buutaniif ani akkuma Waaqayyo Waaqni koo na ajajetti ajajawwanii fi seerawwan isin barsiiseera.

Behold, I have shewn you ordinances and judgments as the Lord commanded me, that ye should do so in the land into which ye go to inherit it.

6 Kunis akka saboonni waaʼee ajajawwan kanaa hunda dhagaʼanii, “Dhugumaan sabni guddaan kun saba ogeessaa fi hubataa dha” jedhaniif ogummaa fi hubannaa keessan sabootatti argisiisaatii akka gaariitti isaan eegaa.

And ye shall keep and do them: for this is your wisdom and understanding before all nations, as many as shall hear all these ordinances; and they shall say, Behold, this great nation [is] a wise and understanding people.

7 Sabni guddaan akka yeroo nu Waaqayyo Waaqa keenya waammannutti nutti dhiʼaatu sana waaqonni isaanii itti dhiʼaatan kan biraa kami?

For what manner of nation [is so] great, which has God so near to them as the Lord our God [is] in all things in whatsoever we may call upon him?

8 Sabni guddaan ajajawwanii fi seera qajeelaa akka seera ani harʼa fuula keessan dura kaaʼu kanaa qabu biraa kami?

And what manner of nation [is so] great, which has righteous ordinances and judgments according to all this law, which I set before you this day?

9 Akka waan iji kee arge hin daganneef yookaan akka hamma ati lubbuudhaan jirtutti garaa keetii hin badneef ofuma eeggadhu; jabaadhuu of eeggadhu. Waan kanas ijoollee keetii fi ijoollee ijoollee ijoollee keetii barsiisi.

Take heed to thyself, and keep thy heart diligently: forget not any of the things, which thine eyes have seen, and let them not depart from thine heart all the days of thy life; and thou shalt teach thy sons and thy sons' sons,

10 Gaafa isin Kooreebitti fuula Waaqayyo Waaqa keessanii dura dhaabattan, yeroo inni, “Akka isaan hamma lubbuudhaan lafa irra jiraatan hundatti na sodaachuu baratanii ijoollee ijoollee isaanii illee na sodaachuu barsiisaniif dubbii koo haa dhagaʼaniitii namoota walitti qabi” naan jedhe sana yaadadhaa.

[even the things that happened in] the day in which ye stood before the Lord our God in Choreb in the day of the assembly; for the Lord said to me, Gather the people to me, and let them hear my words, that they may learn to fear me all the days which they live upon the earth, and they shall teach their sons.

11 Isin utumaa tulluun sun bobaʼaa ibidda hamma wiirtuu samiitti ol baʼee duumessa gurraachaa fi dukkana limixiidhaan haguugamee jiruu itti dhiʼaattanii miilla tulluu sanaa jala dhadhaabattan.

And ye drew nigh and stood under the mountain; and the mountain burned with fire up to heaven: [there was] darkness, blackness, [and] tempest.

12 Ergasiis Waaqayyo ibidda keessaa isinitti dubbate. Isinis sagalee dubbii sanaa malee bifa tokko illee hin argine; sagalee tokko qofatu ture.

And the Lord spoke to you out of the midst of the fire a voice of words, which ye heard: and ye saw no likeness, only [ye heard] a voice.

13 Innis kakuu isaa jechuunis Ajajawwan Kurnan akka isin isaan duukaa buutaniif isin ajaje sana isiniif labse. Ergasii immoo gabatee dhagaa lama irratti isaan barreesse.

And he announced to you his covenant, which he commanded you to keep, even the ten commandments; and he wrote them on two tables of stone.

14 Waaqayyos yeroo sanatti akka ani ajajawwanii fi seerawwan biyya isin Yordaanos ceetanii dhaaltan sana keessatti duukaa buʼuu qabdan isin barsiisu na ajaje.

And the Lord commanded me at that time, to teach you ordinances and judgments, that ye should do them on the land, into which ye go to inherit it.

15 Gaafa Waaqayyo Kooreeb irratti ibidda keessaa isinitti dubbatetti isin bifa tokko illee hin argine. Kanaafuu jabeessaa of eeggadhaa;

And take good heed to your hearts, for ye saw no similitude in the day in which the Lord spoke to you in Choreb in the mountain out of the midst of the fire:

16 kunis akka isin hin xuroofne, akka Waaqa tolfamaa bifa dhiiraatiin yookaan dubartiitiin soofame kam iyyuu ofii keessaniif hin tolfanne

lest ye transgress, and make to yourselves a carved image, any kind of figure, the likeness of male or female,

17 yookaan horii lafa irra jiraatu yookaan simbira samii keessa barrisu kam iyyuu

the likeness of any beast of those that are on the earth, the likeness of any winged bird which flies under heaven,

18 yookaan uumama lafa irra munyuuqu kam iyyuu yookaan qurxummii lafa jala bishaan keessa jiraatu kam iyyuu hin tolfanneef.

the likeness of any reptile which creeps on the earth, the likeness of any fish of those which are in the waters under the earth;

19 Ati yommuu samii ol ilaaltee aduu, jiʼa, urjiiwwanii fi raayyaa samii hunda argitutti gowwoomfamtee fuula waan Waaqayyo Waaqni kee saboota samiidhaa gadii hundaaf qoodee kennee duratti gad jettee hin sagadin.

and lest having looked up to the sky, and having seen the sun and the moon and the stars, and all the heavenly bodies, thou shouldest go astray and worship them, and serve them, which the Lord thy God has distributed to all the nations under heaven.

20 Waaqayyo garuu akka isin akkuma amma jirtan kana dhaala isaa taataniif badaa sibiila itti baqsan jechuunis biyya Gibxiitii baasee isin fide.

But God took you, and led you forth out of the land of Egypt, out of the iron furnace, out of Egypt, to be to him a people of inheritance, as at this day.

21 Waaqayyos sababii keessaniif natti dheekkamee akka ani laga Yordaanos ceʼee biyya gaarii kan Waaqayyo Waaqni keessan dhaala godhee isiniif kennu sana hin seenne kakate.

And the Lord God was angry with me for the things said by you, and sware that I should not go over this Jordan, and that I should not enter into the land, which the Lord thy God giveth thee for an inheritance.

22 Ani biyyuma kanatti nan duʼa; ani Yordaanosin hin ceʼu; isin garuu ceetanii biyya gaarii sana dhaaluuf jirtu.

For I am to die in this land, and shall not pass over this Jordan; but ye are to pass over, and shall inherit this good land.

23 Akka kakuu Waaqayyo Waaqni keessan isin wajjin gale sana hin daganne of eeggadhaa; waaqota tolfamoo Waaqayyo Waaqni keessan isin dhowwe bifa kamiin iyyuu ofii keessaniif hin tolfatinaa.

Take heed to yourselves, lest ye forget the covenant of the Lord our God, which he made with you, and ye transgress, and make to yourselves a graven image of any of the things concerning which the Lord thy God commanded thee.

24 Waaqayyo Waaqni keessan ibidda gubee balleessuudhaatii; Waaqa hinaafudhas.

For the Lord thy God is a consuming fire, a jealous God.

25 Isin erga ijoollee fi ijoollee ijoollee keessanii hortanii biyya sana keessa bara dheeraa jiraattanii booddee, yoo xurooftanii fakkii waaqota tolfamoo bifa kamii iyyuu tolchitanii fuula Waaqayyo Waaqa keessanii duratti waan hamaa hojjettanii dheekkamsaaf isa kakaaftan,

And when thou shalt have begotten sons, and shalt have sons' sons, and ye shall have dwelt a long time on the land, and shall have transgressed, and made a graven image of any thing, and shall have done wickedly before the Lord your God to provoke him;

26 akka isin biyya Yordaanos ceetanii dhaaltan irraa ariitiidhaan dhabamtan ani guyyaa harʼaa samii fi lafa dhugaa baatota godhee isinitti nan waama. Iddoo sana yeroo dheeraa hin jiraattan; isin guutumaan guutuutti barbadooftu.

I call heaven and earth this day to witness against you, that ye shall surely perish from off the land, into which ye go across Jordan to inherit it there; ye shall not prolong your days upon it, but shall be utterly cut off.

27 Waaqayyos saboota keessa isin faffacaasa; saboota warra Waaqayyo isaan gidduutti isin faffacaase keessattis muraasa taatanii haftu.

And the Lord shall scatter you among all nations, and ye shall be left few in number among all the nations, among which the Lord shall bring you.

28 Isinis achitti waaqota harka namaatiin mukaa fi dhagaa irraa hojjetaman kanneen arguu yookaan dhagaʼuu yookaan nyaachuu yookaan fuunfachuu hin dandeenye waaqeffattu.

And ye shall there serve other gods, the works of the hands of men, wood and stones, which cannot see, nor can they hear, nor eat, nor smell.

29 Garuu yoo achittis Waaqayyo Waaqa keessan barbaaddan ni argattu; isin yoo garaa fi yaada keessan guutuudhaan isa barbaaddan ni argattu.

And there ye shall seek the Lord your God, and ye shall find him whenever ye shall seek him with all your heart, and with all your soul in your affliction.

30 Yommuu dhiphattee wanni kun hundi sitti dhufutti, baroota dhufuuf jiran keessa gara Waaqayyo Waaqa keetiitti ni deebita; isaafis ni ajajamta.

And all these things shall come upon thee in the last days, and thou shalt turn to the Lord thy God, and shalt hearken to his voice.

31 Waaqayyo Waaqni kee Waaqa araaraa ti; inni si hin gatu yookaan si hin balleessu yookaan kakuu abbootii keetiif kakate sana hin dagatu.

Because the Lord thy God [is] a God of pity: he will not forsake thee, nor destroy thee; he will not forget the covenant of thy fathers, which the Lord sware to them.

32 Waaʼee baroota durii kan utuu ati hin dhalatin dura gaafa Waaqayyo lafa irratti nama uumee jalqabee ture sana iyyaafadhaa; daarii samii tokko irraa hamma daarii kaaniitti iyyaafadhaa. Wanni guddaan akkanaa takkumaa uumamee yookaan wanni akkanaa takkumaa dhagaʼamee beekaa?

Ask of the former days which were before thee, from the day when God created man upon the earth, and [beginning] at the [one] end of heaven to the other end of heaven, if there has happened any thing like to this great event, if such a thing has been heard:

33 Sabni akka keessan sagalee Waaqaa kan ibidda keessaa dubbatu dhagaʼee lubbuudhaan jiraate kan biraa takkumaa argameeraa?

if a nation have heard the voice of the living God speaking out of the midst of the fire, as thou hast heard and hast lived;

34 Waaqni kam iyyuu takkumaa akka Waaqayyo Waaqni keessan utuma iji keessan arguu biyya Gibxitti isinii godhe sana saba tokko saba biraa keessaa qorumsaan, mallattoo fi dinqiidhaan, waraanaan, harka jabaa fi irree diriirfameen, yookaan hojii guddaa fi sodaachisaadhaan baasee kan ofii isaa godhachuu yaale jira?

if God has assayed to go and take to himself a nation out of the midst of [another] nation with trial, and with signs, and with wonders, and with war, and with a mighty hand, and with a high arm, and with great sights, according to all the things which the Lord our God did in Egypt in thy sight.

35 Isinis Waaqayyo Waaqa taʼuu isaa akka beektaniif wantoonni kunneen isinitti argisiifaman; isa malees kan biraa hin jiru.

So that thou shouldest know that the Lord thy God he is God, and there is none beside him.

36 Inni si adabachuuf jedhee samiidhaa sagalee isaa si dhageessise. Lafa irratti ibidda isaa guddicha sitti argisiisee atis ibidda keessaa dubbii isaa dhageesse.

His voice was made audible from heaven to instruct thee, and he shewed thee upon the earth his great fire, and thou heardest his words out of the midst of the fire.

37 Inni waan abbootii kee jaallatee isaan booddees sanyiiwwan isaanii filateef ofii isaatiin humna isaa guddaadhaan biyya Gibxiitii baasee isin fide;

Because he loved thy fathers, he also chose you their seed after them, and he brought thee himself with his great strength out of Egypt,

38 kanas akka harʼa taʼee jiru kana saboota si caalaa gurguddaa fi jajjaboo si duraa ariʼee biyya isaanii dhaala godhee siif kennuuf itti si fide.

to destroy nations great and stronger than thou before thy face, to bring thee in, to give thee their land to inherit, as thou hast it this day.

39 Harʼa akka Waaqayyo ol samii gubbaatti, gad lafa irrattis Waaqa taʼe beeki; garaa keettis qabadhu. Kan biraas hin jiru.

An thou shalt know this day, and shalt consider in thine heart, that the Lord thy God he [is] God in heaven above, and on the earth beneath, and there is none else but he.

40 Akka sii fi ijoollee kee warra siʼiin duubaatiif toluu fi akka biyya Waaqayyo Waaqni kee bara baraan siif kennutti umuriin kee dheeratuuf qajeelchawwanii fi ajajawwan isaa kanneen ani harʼa siif kennu eegi.

And keep ye his commandments, and his ordinances, all that I command you this day; that it may be well with thee, and with thy sons after thee, that ye may be long-lived upon the earth, which the Lord thy God giveth thee for ever.

41 Yeroo sanatti Museen magaalaawwan baʼa Yordaanos sadii addaan baafate;

Then Moses separated three cities beyond Jordan on the east,

42 kunis lafa namni nama ajjeese yoo utuu itti hin yaadin nama ajjeese itti baqatuu dha. Innis magaalaawwan kanneen keessaa tokkotti baqatee lubbuu isaa oolfachuu dandaʼa.

that the slayer might flee thither, who should have slain his neighbour unintentionally, and should not have hated him in times past, and he shall flee to one of these cities and live:

43 Magaalaawwan sunis kanneen turan: Bezer kan gammoojjii keessa tabba irra jirtu gosa Ruubeeniif, Raamooti kan Giliʼaaditti argamtu gosa Gaadiif, Goolaan kan Baashaanitti argamtu immoo gosa Minaaseef.

Bosor in the wilderness, in the plain country of Ruben, and Ramoth in Galaad [belonging to] Gad, and Gaulon in Basan [belonging to] Manasse.

44 Kun Seera Museen Israaʼeloota dura kaaʼee dha.

This [is] the law which Moses set before the children of Israel.

45 Qajeelchi, ajajnii fi seerri Museen yommuu isaan biyya Gibxii baʼanitti Israaʼelootaaf kenne kanaa dha;

These [are] the testimonies, and the ordinances, and the judgments, which Moses spoke to the sons of Israel, when they came out of the land of Egypt:

46 kunis yeroo isaan Sulula Beet Pheʼoor biyya baʼa Yordaanositti argamtu keessa turanitti taʼe; biyyi kunis biyya Sihoon mootii Amoorotaa kan Heshboon keessa jiraachaa turee Musee fi Israaʼeloonni yeroo biyya Gibxii baʼanitti isa moʼatanii ti.

on the other side of Jordan, in the valley near the house of Phogor, in the land of Seon king of the Amorites, who dwelt in Esebon, whom Moses and the sons of Israel smote when they came out of the land of Egypt.

47 Isaanis biyya isaatii fi biyya Oogi mooticha Baashaan jechuunis biyyoota mootota Amoorii lamaan baʼa Yordaanositti argaman dhaala godhanii fudhatan.

And they inherited his land, and the land of Og king of Basan, two kings of the Amorites, who were beyond Jordan eastward.

48 Biyyi kunis Aroʼeer kan daarii Sulula Arnoonii jalqabee hamma Gaara Sihoonitti jechuunis hamma Hermooniitti balʼata;

From Aroer, which is on the border of the brook Arnon, even to the mount of Seon, which is Aermon.

49 innis Arabbaa baʼa Yordaanosii hamma galaana Arabbaatti jiru kan tabba Phisgaatii gaditti argamu hunda dabalata.

All Araba beyond Jordan eastward under Asedoth hewn in the rock.
