Keessa Deebii 7
1 Yommuu Waaqayyo Waaqni kee biyya ati dhaaluuf itti galaa jirtu kanatti si fidee saboota hedduu jechuunis Heetota, Girgaashota, Amoorota, Kanaʼaanota, Feerzota, Hiiwotaa fi Yebuusota jechuunis saboota isin caalaa gurguddaa fi jajjaboo torba fuula kee duraa ariʼee baasutti,
“When the Lord your God will have led you to the land, which you will enter so as to possess it, and when he will have destroyed many nations before you, the Hittite, and the Girgashite, and the Amorite, and the Canaanite, and the Perizzite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite, seven nations much more numerous than you, and more robust than you,
2 yommuu Waaqayyo Waaqni kee dabarsee isaan siif kennee atis isaan moʼattutti, guutumaan guutuutti isaan barbadeessi. Isaan wajjin kakuu tokko illee hin seenin; garaas isaanii hin laafin.
and when the Lord your God will have delivered them to you, you shall strike them down unto utter annihilation. You shall not enter into a pact with them, nor shall you show any pity to them.
3 Isaanitti hin soddoomin; ilmaan isaaniitiif intallan kee hin kennin yookaan intallan isaanii ilmaan keetiif hin fidin;
And you shall not associate with them in marriage. You shall not give your daughter to his son, nor accept his daughter for your son.
4 sababiin isaas isaan ilmaan kee na duukaa buʼuu irraa deebisanii akka isaan waaqota biraa tajaajilan godhu; dheekkamsi Waaqayyoos sitti bobaʼee dafee si balleessa.
For she will seduce your son, so that he will not follow me, and so that he will instead serve foreign gods. And the fury of the Lord will be enraged, and he will quickly destroy you.
5 Wanni isin isaan gochuu qabdan kana: iddoowwan aarsaa isaanii diigaa; siidaawwan waaqeffannaa isaanii caccabsaa; utubaawwan Aasheeraa isaaniis jijjigsaa; waaqota isaaniis ibiddaan gubbaa.
So instead, you shall do this to them: overturn their altars, and break their statues, and cut down their sacred groves, and burn up their graven images.
6 Ati saba Waaqayyo Waaqa keetiif qulqulluu taatee dha. Waaqayyo Waaqni kee akka ati saba isaatii fi qabeenya isaa jaallatamaa taatuuf jedhee saboota lafa irra jiraatan hunda keessaa si filate.
For you are a holy people to the Lord your God. The Lord your God has chosen you so that you would be his particular people out of all the peoples who are upon the earth.
7 Wanni Waaqayyo isin jaallatee isin filateef waan isin saboota kaan caalaa baayʼee taataniif miti; isin saboota hunda caalaa xinnoo turtan.
It is not because you surpass all the nations in number that the Lord has joined with you and has chosen you, for you are the least numerous of any people.
8 Garuu wanni Waaqayyo harka jabaadhaan isin baasee biyya garbummaatii fi irree Faraʼoon mooticha Gibxi jalaa isin fureef sababii isin jaallatee kakuu abbootii keessan wajjin gale sana eegeef.
But it is because the Lord has loved you, and has kept his oath, which he swore to your fathers. And he has led you away with a strong hand, and he has redeemed you from the house of servitude, from the hand of Pharaoh, the king of Egypt.
9 Kanaafuu akka Waaqayyo Waaqni kee Waaqa taʼe beeki; inni Waaqa amanamaa warra isa jaallatanii ajaja isaas eeganiif kakuu fi araara isaa hamma dhaloota kumaatti eeguu dha.
And you shall know that the Lord your God himself is a strong and faithful God, preserving his covenant and his mercy for those who love him and those who keep his precepts for a thousand generations,
10 Warra isa jibban garuu, balleessuuf gatii isaanii mataa isaaniitti deebisa; nama isa jibbus gatii isaa mataa isaatti deebisuudhaaf lafa irra hin harkifatu.
and promptly repaying those who hate him, so as to utterly ruin them, without further delay, quickly rendering to them what they deserve.
11 Kanaafuu ati ajajawwan, qajeelchawwanii fi seerawwan ani harʼa siif kennu kanneen eegi.
Therefore, keep the precepts and ceremonies as well as the judgments, which I command to you this day, so that you may do them.
12 Yoo ati seerawwan kanneeniif xiyyeeffannaa kennitee of eeggannaadhaan duukaa buute, Waaqayyo Waaqni kee akkuma abbootii keetiif kakate sana kakuu fi araara isaa siifis ni eega.
If, after you have heard these judgments, you keep and do them, the Lord your God will also keep his covenant with you and the mercy that he swore to your fathers.
13 Inni si jaallata; si eebbisa; si baayʼisas. Biyya siif kennuuf abbootii keetiif kakuu gale keessatti ija garaa keetii, oomisha lafa keetii jechuunis midhaan, wayinii haaraa fi zayitii, jabbiiwwan loon keetii, xobbaallaawwan bushaayee keetii siif eebbisa.
And he will love you and multiply you. And he will bless the fruit of your womb, and the fruit of your land: your grain as well as your vintage, oil, and herds, and the flocks of your sheep, upon the land about which he swore to your fathers that he would give it to you.
14 Ati saboota kam iyyuu caalaa ni eebbifamta; dhiira yookaan dubartii kee keessaa tokko illee ijoollee hin dhabu yookaan loon kee keessaa tokko illee hin maseenu.
Blessed shall you be among all peoples. No one will be barren among you of either gender, as much among men as among your herds.
15 Waaqayyo dhukkuba hunda sirraa fuudha. Inni dhukkuboota suukaneessaa ati biyya Gibxitti argite sana warra si jibbanitti fida malee sitti hin fidu.
The Lord will take all sickness away from you. And the very grievous infirmities of Egypt, which you have known, he will not bring upon you, but upon your enemies.
16 Ati saboota Waaqayyo Waaqni kee dabarsee sitti kennu hunda balleessuu qabda. Ati isaaniif garaa hin laafin; kuni kiyyoo sitti taʼaatii waaqota isaanii hin waaqeffatin.
You shall devour all the peoples, which the Lord your God will deliver to you. Your eye shall not spare them, neither shall you serve their gods, lest they be your ruin.
17 Ati, “Saboonni kunneen nu caalaa jajjaboo dha; nu akkamitti isaan baafna?” jettee yaadda taʼa.
If you say in your heart, ‘These nations are more than I am, so how will I be able to destroy them?’
18 Garuu ati isaan hin sodaatin; waan Waaqayyo Waaqni kee Faraʼoonii fi guutummaa Gibxitti hojjete sana yaadadhu.
do not be apprehensive. Instead, recall what the Lord your God did to Pharaoh and to all the Egyptians:
19 Ati qormaatawwan gurguddaa, mallattoowwanii fi dinqiiwwan, harka jabaa fi irree diriirfame kan Waaqayyo Waaqni kee ittiin si baase sana ijuma keetiin argiteerta. Waaqayyo Waaqni kee saboota ati amma sodaattu hundas akkasuma godha.
the very great plagues, which your eyes saw, and the signs and wonders, and the powerful hand and outstretched arm, by which the Lord your God led you away. So will he do to all the peoples, whom you dread.
20 Kana caalaa iyyuu Waaqayyo Waaqni kee hamma warri lubbuudhaan hafanii si duraa dhokatan iyyuu barbadaaʼanitti gidduu isaaniitti sonsa ni erga.
Moreover, the Lord your God will also send hornets among them, until he destroys and scatters all who have escaped from you, or who have been able to hide.
21 Sababii Waaqayyo Waaqni kee inni gidduu kee jiru sun Waaqa guddaa fi sodaachisaa taʼeef isaan hin sodaatin.
You shall not fear them, for the Lord your God is in your midst: a great and terrible God.
22 Waaqayyo Waaqni kee saboota sana xinnoo xinnoodhaan fuula kee duraa ni baasa; akka bineensonni bosonaa naannoo keetti hin baayʼanneef yeruma tokkotti isaan balleesuun siif hin eeyyamamu.
He himself will consume these nations in your sight, a little at a time, by degrees. You will not be able to destroy them all at once. Otherwise, the wild beasts of the earth might increase against you.
23 Waaqayyo Waaqni kee garuu hamma isaan badanitti isaan raatessuudhaan dabarsee harka keetti isaan kenna.
And so, the Lord your God will present them in your sight, and you shall slay them until they are thoroughly wiped away.
24 Mootota isaaniis dabarsee sitti kenna; atis maqaa isaanii samii jalaa ni balleessita. Hamma ati isaan balleessitutti namni fuula kee dura dhaabachuu dandaʼu tokko iyyuu hin jiru.
And he shall deliver their kings into your hands, and you shall abolish their names from under heaven. No one will be able to withstand you, until you crush them.
25 Fakkii waaqota isaanii ibiddaan gubi; meetii fi warqee isaan irra jiru hin hawwin; ofii keetiifis hin fudhatin; yoo kanaa achii inni sababii fuula Waaqayyo Waaqa keetii duratti jibbisiisaa taʼeef kiyyoo sitti taʼa.
Their graven images, you shall burn with fire. You shall not covet the silver or gold from which they have been made. And you shall not take for yourself anything from these, lest you offend, because this is an abomination to the Lord your God.
26 Waan jibbisiisaa gara mana keetiitti hin galchin; yoo kanaa achii atis akkuma isaa badiisaaf addaan baafamta. Waan inni badiisaaf addaan baafameef ati guutumaan guutuutti isa jibbi; balfis.
Neither shall you carry anything of the idol into your house, lest you become accursed, just as it also is. You shall detest it like dung, and you shall abominate it like defilement and filth, because it is an accursed thing.”
