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, O Israel, hear the commandments and judgments which I teach thee: that doing them, thou mayst live, and entering in mayst possess the land which the Lord the God of your fathers will give you.
2 Ajaja Waaqayyo Waaqa keessanii kan ani isiniif kennu eegaa malee waan tokko illee itti hin dabalinaa yookaan irraa hin hirʼisinaa.
You shall not add to the word that I speak to you, neither shall you take away from it: keep the commandments of the Lord your God which I command you.
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 hath done against Beelphegor, how he hath destroyed all his worshippers from among you.
4 isin warri Waaqayyo Waaqa keessan qabattan hundi garuu hamma harʼaatti lubbuudhaan jiraattan.
But you that adhere to the Lord your God, are all alive until this present 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.
You know that I have taught you statutes and justices, as the Lord my God hath commanded me: so shall you do them in the land which you shall possess:
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 you shall observe, and fulfill them in practice. For this is your wisdom, and understanding in the sight of nations, that hearing all these precepts, they may say: Behold a wise and understanding people, a great nation.
7 Sabni guddaan akka yeroo nu Waaqayyo Waaqa keenya waammannutti nutti dhiʼaatu sana waaqonni isaanii itti dhiʼaatan kan biraa kami?
Neither is there any other nation so great, that hath gods so nigh them, as our God is present to all our petitions.
8 Sabni guddaan ajajawwanii fi seera qajeelaa akka seera ani harʼa fuula keessan dura kaaʼu kanaa qabu biraa kami?
For what other nation is there so renowned that hath ceremonies, and just judgments, and all the law, which I will set forth this day before your eyes?
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.
Keep thyself therefore, and thy soul carefully. Forget not the words that thy eyes have seen, and let them not go out of thy heart all the days of thy life. Thou shalt teach them to thy sons and to thy grandsons,
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.
From the day in which thou didst stand before the Lord thy God in Horeb, when the Lord spoke to me, saying: Call together the people unto me, that they may hear my words, and may learn to fear me all the time that they live on the earth, and may teach their children.
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 you came to the foot of the mount, which burned even unto heaven: and there was darkness, and a cloud and obscurity in it.
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 from the midst of the fire. You heard the voice of his words, but you saw not any form at all.
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 shewed you his covenant, which he commanded you to do, and the ten words that he wrote in 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 he commanded me at that time that I should teach you the ceremonies and judgments which you shall do in the land, that you shall possess.
15 Gaafa Waaqayyo Kooreeb irratti ibidda keessaa isinitti dubbatetti isin bifa tokko illee hin argine. Kanaafuu jabeessaa of eeggadhaa;
Keep therefore your souls carefully. You saw not any similitude in the day that the Lord God spoke to you in Horeb from 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 perhaps being deceived you might make you a graven similitude, or image of male or female,
17 yookaan horii lafa irra jiraatu yookaan simbira samii keessa barrisu kam iyyuu
The similitude of any beasts, that are upon the earth, or of birds, that fly under heaven,
18 yookaan uumama lafa irra munyuuqu kam iyyuu yookaan qurxummii lafa jala bishaan keessa jiraatu kam iyyuu hin tolfanneef.
Or of creeping things, that move on the earth, or of fishes, that abide 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.
Lest perhaps lifting up thy eyes to heaven, thou see the sun and the moon, and all the stars of heaven, and being deceived by error thou adore and serve them, which the Lord thy God created for the service of all the nations, that are 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 the Lord hath taken you and brought you out of the iron furnace of Egypt, to make you his people of inheritance, as it is this present 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 was angry with me for your words, and he swore that I should not pass over the Jordan, nor enter into the excellent land, which he will give you.
22 Ani biyyuma kanatti nan duʼa; ani Yordaanosin hin ceʼu; isin garuu ceetanii biyya gaarii sana dhaaluuf jirtu.
Behold I die in this land, I shall not pass over the Jordan: you shall pass, and possess the goodly 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.
Beware lest thou ever forget the covenant of the Lord thy God, which he hath made with thee: and make to thyself a graven likeness of those things which the Lord hath forbid to be made:
24 Waaqayyo Waaqni keessan ibidda gubee balleessuudhaatii; Waaqa hinaafudhas.
Because 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,
If you shall beget sons and grandsons, and abide in the land, and being deceived, make to yourselves any similitude, committing evil before the Lord your God, to provoke him to wrath:
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 this day heaven and earth to witness, that you shall quickly perish out of the land, which, when you have passed over the Jordan, you shall possess. You shall not dwell therein long, but the Lord will destroy you,
27 Waaqayyos saboota keessa isin faffacaasa; saboota warra Waaqayyo isaan gidduutti isin faffacaase keessattis muraasa taatanii haftu.
And scatter you among all nations, and you shall remain a few among the nations, to which the Lord shall lead you.
28 Isinis achitti waaqota harka namaatiin mukaa fi dhagaa irraa hojjetaman kanneen arguu yookaan dhagaʼuu yookaan nyaachuu yookaan fuunfachuu hin dandeenye waaqeffattu.
And there you shall serve gods, that were framed with men’s hands: wood and stone, that neither see, nor 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 when thou shalt seek there the Lord thy God, thou shalt find him: yet so, if thou seek him with all thy heart, and all the affliction of thy soul.
30 Yommuu dhiphattee wanni kun hundi sitti dhufutti, baroota dhufuuf jiran keessa gara Waaqayyo Waaqa keetiitti ni deebita; isaafis ni ajajamta.
After all the things aforesaid shall and thee, in the latter time thou shalt return to the Lord thy God, and shalt hear 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 merciful God: he will not leave thee, nor altogether destroy thee, nor forget the covenant, by which he swore to thy fathers.
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 days of old, that have been before thy time from the day that God created man upon the earth, from one end of heaven to the other end thereof, if ever there was done the like thing, or it hath been known at any time,
33 Sabni akka keessan sagalee Waaqaa kan ibidda keessaa dubbatu dhagaʼee lubbuudhaan jiraate kan biraa takkumaa argameeraa?
That a people should hear the voice of God speaking out of the midst of fire, as thou hast heard, and 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 ever did so as to go, and take to himself a nation out of the midst of nations by temptations, signs, and wonders, by fight, and a strong hand, and stretched out arm, and horrible visions according to all the things that the Lord your God did for you in Egypt, before thy eyes.
35 Isinis Waaqayyo Waaqa taʼuu isaa akka beektaniif wantoonni kunneen isinitti argisiifaman; isa malees kan biraa hin jiru.
That thou mightest know that the Lord he is God, and there is no other besides him.
36 Inni si adabachuuf jedhee samiidhaa sagalee isaa si dhageessise. Lafa irratti ibidda isaa guddicha sitti argisiisee atis ibidda keessaa dubbii isaa dhageesse.
From heaven he made thee to hear his voice, that he might teach thee. And upon earth he shewed thee his exceeding great fire, and thou didst hear 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, and chose their seed after them. And he brought thee out of Egypt, going before thee with his great power,
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 at thy coming very great nations, and stronger than thou art, and to bring thee in, and give thee their land for a possession, as thou seest at this present day.
39 Harʼa akka Waaqayyo ol samii gubbaatti, gad lafa irrattis Waaqa taʼe beeki; garaa keettis qabadhu. Kan biraas hin jiru.
Know therefore this day, and think in thy heart that the Lord he is God in heaven above, and in the earth beneath, and there is no other.
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.
Keep his precepts and commandments, which I command thee: that it may be well with thee, and thy children after thee, and thou mayst remain a long time upon the land, which the Lord thy God will give thee.
41 Yeroo sanatti Museen magaalaawwan baʼa Yordaanos sadii addaan baafate;
Then Moses set aside three cities beyond the Jordan at the east side,
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 any one might flee to them who should kill his neighbour unwillingly, and was not his enemy a day or two before, and that he might escape to some one of these cities:
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, which is situate in the plains of the tribe of Ruben: and Ramoth in Galaad, which is in the tribe of Gad: and Golan in Basan, which is in the tribe of Manasses.
44 Kun Seera Museen Israaʼeloota dura kaaʼee dha.
This is the law, that Moses set before the children of Israel,
45 Qajeelchi, ajajnii fi seerri Museen yommuu isaan biyya Gibxii baʼanitti Israaʼelootaaf kenne kanaa dha;
And these are the testimonies and ceremonies and judgments, which he spoke to the children of Israel, when they came out 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.
Beyond the Jordan in the valley over against the temple of Phogor, in the land of Sehon king of the Amorrhites, that dwelt in Hesebon, whom Moses slew. And the children of Israel coming out of Egypt,
47 Isaanis biyya isaatii fi biyya Oogi mooticha Baashaan jechuunis biyyoota mootota Amoorii lamaan baʼa Yordaanositti argaman dhaala godhanii fudhatan.
Possessed his land, and the land of Og king of Basan, of the two kings of the Amorrhites, who were beyond the Jordan towards the rising of the sun:
48 Biyyi kunis Aroʼeer kan daarii Sulula Arnoonii jalqabee hamma Gaara Sihoonitti jechuunis hamma Hermooniitti balʼata;
From Aroer, which is situate upon the bank of the torrent Amen, unto mount Sion, which is also called Hermon,
49 innis Arabbaa baʼa Yordaanosii hamma galaana Arabbaatti jiru kan tabba Phisgaatii gaditti argamu hunda dabalata.
All the plain beyond the Jordan at the east side, unto the see of the wilderness, and unto the foot of mount Phasga.
