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,
The Lord your God is going to lead you into the land that you are taking over in order to own it, and will drive out ahead of you many other nations: the Hittites, Girgashites, Amorites, Canaanites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites, seven nations that are larger and stronger 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.
When the Lord your God has handed them over to you to defeat them, then you must set them apart for destruction. Don't make any peace treaty with them and don't show them any mercy.
3 Isaanitti hin soddoomin; ilmaan isaaniitiif intallan kee hin kennin yookaan intallan isaanii ilmaan keetiif hin fidin;
Don't intermarry with them. Don't let your daughters marry their sons or have their daughters marry your sons,
4 sababiin isaas isaan ilmaan kee na duukaa buʼuu irraa deebisanii akka isaan waaqota biraa tajaajilan godhu; dheekkamsi Waaqayyoos sitti bobaʼee dafee si balleessa.
because they will lead your children away from following me to worship other gods. Then the Lord will be angry with you, and he will quickly come and kill you.
5 Wanni isin isaan gochuu qabdan kana: iddoowwan aarsaa isaanii diigaa; siidaawwan waaqeffannaa isaanii caccabsaa; utubaawwan Aasheeraa isaaniis jijjigsaa; waaqota isaaniis ibiddaan gubbaa.
On the contrary, this is what you are to do to them: tear down their altars, knock down their idolatrous pillars, cut down their Asherah poles, and burn down their idols.
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 the Lord your God's holy people. The Lord your God has chosen you to be his own special people, valued above all other peoples on the earth.
7 Wanni Waaqayyo isin jaallatee isin filateef waan isin saboota kaan caalaa baayʼee taataniif miti; isin saboota hunda caalaa xinnoo turtan.
It wasn't because there were so many of you that the Lord loved you more than any other nation, in fact he chose you though there were so few of you.
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.
However, because the Lord loved you and kept the promise he gave to your forefathers, He led you out by his power and rescued you from the prison-house of slavery, from the rule of Pharaoh, 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.
That's why you can be sure that the Lord your God is the true God, the faithful God who keeps his agreement based on trustworthy love to a thousand generations of those who love him and keep his commandments.
10 Warra isa jibban garuu, balleessuuf gatii isaanii mataa isaaniitti deebisa; nama isa jibbus gatii isaa mataa isaatti deebisuudhaaf lafa irra hin harkifatu.
But he doesn't hesitate to pay back those who hate him by destroying them.
11 Kanaafuu ati ajajawwan, qajeelchawwanii fi seerawwan ani harʼa siif kennu kanneen eegi.
So keep the commandments and rules and regulations that I'm giving you to follow today.
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 you listen to these regulations and are careful to observe them, then the Lord your God will keep his agreement and the trustworthy love that he promised to your forefathers.
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.
He will love you and bless you and give you many descendants. He will bless your children and the crops your land produces—your grain, new wine, and olive oil, the calves of your cattle herds and the lambs of your flocks—in the land that he promised your forefathers to give 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.
You will be blessed more than any other nation; none of you will be childless, and none of your livestock will fail to have young.
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 keep you from having any kind of sickness. He will not let you have any of the terrible diseases you saw in Egypt, but he will let all who hate you suffer from them.
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 are to destroy all the nations the Lord your God hands over to you. Don't look on them with sympathy. Don't worship their gods, for that will end up being a trap to you.
17 Ati, “Saboonni kunneen nu caalaa jajjaboo dha; nu akkamitti isaan baafna?” jettee yaadda taʼa.
You may say to yourselves, “These nations are stronger than us. How on earth can we drive them out?”
18 Garuu ati isaan hin sodaatin; waan Waaqayyo Waaqni kee Faraʼoonii fi guutummaa Gibxitti hojjete sana yaadadhu.
But don't be afraid of them. Make sure you remember what the Lord your God did to Pharaoh and the whole of Egypt:
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 amazing tests you witnessed, the signs and miracles, the great power and incredible strength the Lord your God used to lead you out. The Lord your God is going to deal with all the nations you're currently afraid of in the same way.
20 Kana caalaa iyyuu Waaqayyo Waaqni kee hamma warri lubbuudhaan hafanii si duraa dhokatan iyyuu barbadaaʼanitti gidduu isaaniitti sonsa ni erga.
On top of this, the Lord your God will send the hornet against them until anyone who has survived and anyone hiding from you have been killed.
21 Sababii Waaqayyo Waaqni kee inni gidduu kee jiru sun Waaqa guddaa fi sodaachisaa taʼeef isaan hin sodaatin.
Don't be frightened of these nations, for the Lord your God, who is with you, is a powerful and awesome 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.
The Lord your God will drive out these nations ahead of you in stages. You won't be able to get rid of them all at the same time, or you'd be overwhelmed by wild animals.
23 Waaqayyo Waaqni kee garuu hamma isaan badanitti isaan raatessuudhaan dabarsee harka keetti isaan kenna.
But the Lord your God will hand them over to you and throw them into a terrible panic, until they are wiped out.
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.
He will give their defeated kings to you to be killed, and even their names will be forgotten. No one will be able to withstand you; you will completely destroy 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.
You must burn the idols of their god. Don't desire the silver and gold that covers them. Don't take it or otherwise it will be a trap for you because the Lord your God detests anything to do with idols.
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.
Don't bring any detestable idol into your house, otherwise you will treated just like it—by being set apart for destruction. You are to treat idols as totally despicable, and stay far away from them, because they are set apart for destruction.
