Keessa Deebii 5
1 Museen Israaʼeloota hunda walitti qabee akkana isaaniin jedhe: Yaa Israaʼel ajajawwanii fi seerawwan ani harʼa utuma isin dhageessanuu labsu kana dhagaʼaa. Baradhaatii jabeessaa isaan duukaa buʼaa.
Moses/I summoned all the people of Israel and said to them, “You Israeli people, listen to all the rules and regulations that I am giving to you today. Learn them and be sure to obey them.
2 Waaqayyo Waaqni keenya Kooreebitti nu wajjin kakuu gale.
When we were at Sinai [Mountain], Yahweh our God made an agreement with us.
3 Waaqayyo kakuu kana nu wajjin, nu warra harʼa lubbuudhaan as jiraannu hunda wajjin gale malee abbootii keenya wajjin hin galle.
But this agreement was not only for our ancestors. He made it also for us who are alive now.
4 Waaqayyo tulluu irratti ibidda keessaa ifaan ifatti isinitti dubbate.
Yahweh spoke with us face-to-face on that mountain, from the middle of the fire.
5 Yeroo sanatti waan isin ibidda sodaattanii tulluutti ol hin baʼiniif ani dubbii Waaqayyoo isinitti himuuf isinii fi Waaqayyo gidduun dhaabadhe. Innis akkana jedhe:
On that day, I stood between your ancestors and Yahweh to tell them what he said, because they were afraid of the fire, and they did not climb up the mountain. This is what Yahweh said:
6 “Ani Waaqayyo Waaqa kee kan Gibxii, biyya garbummaatii si baasee dha.
‘I am Yahweh your God, the one you [worship]. I am the one who brought you out of the land of Egypt. I am the one who freed you from being slaves [there].
7 “Ati ana malee waaqota biraa tokko illee hin qabaatin.
[You must worship only] me; you must not worship any other god.
8 Ati bifa waan ol samii gubbaa yookaan gad lafa irra yookaan bishaan lafa jalaa keessa jiru waaqa tolfamaa kamiitiin iyyuu ofii keetiif hin tolfatin.
You must not carve/make for yourselves any idol that represents anything in the sky or anything that is on the ground or anything that swims in the water.
9 Isaaniif hin sagadin yookaan isaan hin waaqeffatin; ani Waaqayyo Waaqni kee, Waaqa hinaafu kan ijoollee warra na jibbanii sababii cubbuu abbootiitiif jedhee hamma dhaloota sadii fi afuriitti adabee
You must not bow down to any idol and worship it, because I am Yahweh God, and I (am very jealous/want you to worship me only). I punish those who sin and hate me. I punish not only them, but I will punish (their descendants, down to the third and fourth generation/their children and grandchildren and great-grandchildren).
10 warra na jaallatanii ajajawwan koo eegan immoo hamma dhaloota kumaatti jaallatuu dha.
But I will steadfastly love (thousands of generations/all the descendants) of those who love me and obey my commandments (OR, I will love for thousands of generations).
11 Maqaa Waaqayyo Waaqa keetii akkasumaan hin dhaʼin; Waaqayyo warra akkuma argan maqaa isaa dhaʼan utuu hin adabin hin dhiisuutii.
Do not use/speak my name carelessly (OR, for wrong/evil purposes), because I am Yahweh God, the one whom you [should worship], and I will certainly punish those who use/speak my name for wrong/evil purposes [LIT].
12 Akkuma Waaqayyo Waaqni kee si ajajetti guyyaa Sanbataa qulqulleessuudhaan eegi.
Do not forget that the seventh day [of every week] is mine. Dedicate those days to me just like I, Yahweh your God, am commanding you.
13 Guyyoota jaʼa hojjedhu; hojii kee hundas hojjetadhu;
There are six days each week for you to do all your work,
14 guyyaan torbaffaan garuu sanbata Waaqayyo Waaqa keetii ti. Gaafas hojii tokko illee hin hojjetin; ati yookaan ilmi kee yookaan intalli kee yookaan hojjetaan kee yookaan xomboreen kee yookaan qotiyyoon kee yookaan harreen kee yookaan horiin kee kam iyyuu yookaan alagaan magaalaa kee keessa jiraatu tokko iyyuu homaa hin hojjetin. Hojjetaan keetii fi hojjettuun kee akkuma kee haa boqotan.
but the seventh day is a rest day, a day dedicated to me, Yahweh your God. On that day you must not do any work. You and your sons and daughters and your male and female slaves must not work. You must not even force your livestock to work, and you must not tell foreigners to work, those who are living in your country. You must allow your slaves to rest on that day just like you do.
15 Akka atis biyya Gibxitti garba turtee fi ergasii immoo Waaqayyo Waaqni kee harka jabaa fi irree diriirfameen achii si baase yaadadhu. Kanaafuu Waaqayyo Waaqni kee akka ati Sanbata eegdu si ajaje.
Do not forget that you were slaves in Egypt, and that I, Yahweh your God, brought you out from there by my very great power. [DOU, MTY] That is the reason that I am commanding that [all of] you must rest on the seventh/Sabbath day [each week].
16 Akka biyya Waaqayyo Waaqni kee siif kennu keessa bara dheeraa jiraattuu fi akka sitti toluuf akkuma Waaqayyo Waaqni kee si ajajetti abbaa keetii fi haadha keetiif ulfina kenni.
Honor/Respect your fathers and your mothers, just like I, Yahweh your God, am commanding you, in order that you may live a long time in the land that I, Yahweh your God, will give you, and in order that things will go well for you there.
17 Hin ajjeesin.
Do not murder anyone.
18 Hin ejjin.
Do not (commit adultery/have sex with anyone other than your spouse).
19 Hin hatin.
Do not steal anything.
20 Ollaa keetti sobaan dhugaa hin baʼin.
Do not tell lies about anyone [when you are speaking in a court].
21 Niitii namaa hin hawwin. Mana namaa yookaan lafa qotiisaa yookaan hojjetaa yookaan xomboree isaa, qotiyyoo isaa yookaan harree isaa, yookaan waan namaa kam iyyuu hin hawwin.”
Do not (covet/desire to have) someone else’s wife, someone else’s house, someone else’s fields, someone else’s male slave or female slave, someone else’s livestock, someone else’s donkeys, or anything else that another person owns.’
22 Ajajawwan Waaqayyo tulluu gubbaatti, ibidda, duumessaa fi dukkana limixii keessa waldaa keessan guutuutti sagalee guddaadhaan labse kanneenii dha; wanni inni itti dabales hin jiru. Ergasiis inni ajajawwan sana gabateewwan dhagaa lama irratti barreessee natti kenne.
Those are the commandments that Yahweh spoke to your ancestors. When they were gathered there at [the bottom of] the mountain, he spoke with a very loud voice from the middle of the fire, and there were dark clouds surrounding the mountain. He spoke only those [ten] commandments, no more. Then he wrote them on two stone tablets and gave them to me.
23 Yeroo isin utuu tulluun sun ibiddaan bobaʼuu dukkana keessaa sagalee sana dhageessanitti, hooggantoonni gosoota keessaniitii fi maanguddoonni keessan hundi gara koo dhufan.
After your ancestors heard [Yahweh’s] voice when he spoke to them out of the darkness, while there was a big fire burning on the mountain, their leaders and elders came to me,
24 Isinis akkana jettan; “Kunoo Waaqayyo Waaqni keenya ulfinaa fi guddina isaa nu argisiiseera; ibidda keessaas sagalee isaa nu dhageessiseera. Nu harʼa akka namni yoo Waaqni isatti dubbate illee jiraachuu dandaʼu argineerra.
and [one of] them said, ‘Listen to us! Yahweh our God showed us that he is very great and glorious when we heard him speak [MTY] from the fire. Today we have realized that it is possible for us humans to continue to live even though God has spoken to us.
25 Amma garuu nu maaliif duuna? Nu yoo sagalee Waaqayyo Waaqa keenyaa deebinee dhageenye ni duuna; ibiddii guddaan kunis nu barbadeessa.
But we are afraid that we will die [RHQ] if we hear Yahweh our God speak [MTY] to us again; his terrible fire will destroy/kill us.
26 Nama duʼaa hin oolle hunda keessaa eenyutu takkumaa sagalee Waaqa jiraataa ibidda keessaa dubbatuu dhagaʼee akka nu dhageenyee jiraanne kana utuu hin duʼin hafe?
(Who has/Certainly no human has) remained alive after hearing the all-powerful God speak [MTY] to them from a fire.
27 Itti dhiʼaadhuutii waan Waaqayyo Waaqni keenya jedhu hunda dhagaʼi. Ergasii immoo waan Waaqayyo Waaqni keenya sitti himu hunda nutti himi. Nu ni dhaggeeffannaa; ni ajajamnas.”
[So Moses], you go [up the mountain] and listen to everything that Yahweh our God will say. Then [come back and] tell us everything that he has said, and we will listen to what he has said and obey it.’
28 Waaqayyo yommuu isin natti dubbattanitti isin dhagaʼeera; Waaqayyos akkana naan jedhe; “Ani waan namoonni kunneen siin jedhan dhagaʼeera. Wanni isaan jedhan hundinuu gaarii dha.
Yahweh heard your leaders say that, so [when I went back up the mountain], Yahweh said to me, ‘I have heard what your leaders have said, and what they have said is right/correct.
29 Akka hamma bara baraatti isaanii fi ijoollee isaaniitti toluuf isaan utuu yeroo hunda garaa na sodaatee ajaja koo hunda eegu qabaatanii akkam gaarii ture!
I surely wish that they would always think like that and revere me and obey all my commandments, in order that things may go well for them and for their descendants forever.
30 “Dhaqiitii, ‘Dunkaana keessanitti deebiʼaa’ jedhiin.
So go [down] and tell them to return to their tents.
31 Ati garuu asuma na bira turi. Ani ajajawwan, qajeelfamawwanii fi seerawwan ati akka isaan biyya ani dhaala godhee isaaniif kennu keessatti eeganiif isaan barsiiftu hunda sitti nan hima.”
But [then] you [come back up here and] stand near me, and I will give to you all the rules and regulations that I [want them to obey]. Then you can teach them to the people, in order that they will obey them when they are in the land that I am giving to them.’
32 Kanaafuu waan Waaqayyo Waaqni keessan isin ajaje of eeggannaadhaan eegaa; mirgatti yookaan bitaatti hin gorinaa.
[So I went back down to the people, and I said to them], ‘Be sure that you do everything that Yahweh our God has commanded us to do. Do not disobey any of his laws.
33 Akka biyya dhaaltan keessa jiraachuu dandeessan, akka isinitti tolee umurii dheeraa illee qabaattaniif karaa Waaqayyo Waaqni keessan isin ajaje hunda irra deemaa.
Conduct your lives as Yahweh our God has commanded us to do, in order that you may live a long time, and in order that things will go well for you [when you are living] in the land that you will occupy.’”
