Keessa Deebii 8
1 Isin akka lubbuun jiraattan, akka baayʼattanii fi akka biyya Waaqayyo kakuudhaan abbootii keessan abdachiise sanatti galtanii dhaaltaniif ajaja ani harʼa siif kennu hunda of eeggannaadhaan duukaa buʼaa.
“All the commandments which I am entrusting to you this day, take care to observe them diligently, so that you may live and be multiplied, and so that, upon entering, you may possess the land, about which the Lord swore to your fathers.
2 Waaqayyo Waaqni kee gad si qabee si qoruudhaan waan garaa kee keessa jiru jechuunis akka ati ajajawwan isaa eegduu fi hin eegne beekuuf karaa inni waggoota afurtamman kanneen guutuu gammoojjii keessa si qajeelche yaadadhu.
And you shall remember the entire journey along which the Lord your God led you, for forty years through the desert, to afflict you, and to test you, and to make known the things that were turning in your soul, whether or not you would keep his commandments.
3 Innis gad si deebisee si beelessee “mannaa” ati yookaan abbootiin kee hin beekin si soore; kunis akka namni dubbii afaan Waaqayyootii baʼu hundaan malee buddeena qofaan hin jiraanne si barsiisuuf.
He afflicted you with need, and he gave you Manna as your food, which neither you nor your fathers knew, so as to reveal to you that it is not by bread alone that man lives, but by every word that goes forth from the mouth of God.
4 Waggoota afurtamman kanneen keessa uffanni kee hin dhumne; miilli kees hin iitofne.
Your garment, with which you were covered, has by no means decayed due to age, and your foot has not been worn down, even to this fortieth year,
5 Akka Waaqayyo Waaqni kee akkuma abbaan ilma isaa adabatu akka si adabu beeki.
so that you would recognize in your heart that, just as a man educates his son, so has the Lord your God educated you.
6 Daandiiwwan isaa irra deemuu fi isa sodaachuudhaan ajajawwan Waaqayyo Waaqa keetii eegi.
So may you keep the commandments of the Lord your God, and walk in his ways, and fear him.
7 Waaqayyo Waaqni kee biyya gaarii kan lageen, haroowwanii fi burqaawwan sululootaa fi gaarran keessaa yaaʼaniitti si galchaatii.
For the Lord your God will lead you into a good land: a land of brooks and waters and fountains, in which deep rivers burst forth from its plains and mountains,
8 Biyya qamadii fi garbuu, wayinii fi harbuu, roomaanii, zayitii ejersaatii fi damma baasutti,
a land of crops, barley, and vineyards, in which fig and pomegranate and olive trees spring up, a land of oil and honey.
9 biyya ati hirʼina malee buddeena nyaattuu fi biyya ati keessaa homaa hin dhabne, biyya kattaan sibiila taʼe, biyya ati gaarran keessaa sibiila diimaa baasuu dandeessuu dha.
In that place, without any need, you shall eat your bread and enjoy an abundance of all things: where the stones are like iron, and where ore for brass is dug out of its mountains.
10 Yeroo nyaattee quuftutti, sababii Waaqayyo Waaqni kee biyya gaarii akkasii siif kenneef isa jajadhu.
So then, when you have eaten and been satisfied, you should bless the Lord your God for the excellent land which he has given to you.
11 Ati akka ajajawwan, qajeelfamawwanii fi seerawwan isaa kanneen ani harʼa siif kennu eeguu baachuudhaan Waaqayyo Waaqa kee hin daganne of eeggadhu.
Be observant and cautious, lest at some time you may forget the Lord your God, and neglect his commandments, as well as the judgments and ceremonies, which I instruct to you this day.
12 Yoo kanaa achii yommuu nyaattee quuftutti, yommuu mana gaarii ijaarrattee keessa jiraattutti,
Otherwise, after you have eaten and been satisfied, and have built beautiful houses and have lived in them,
13 yommuu loonii fi bushaayeen kee wal horanii meetii fi warqeen kee dabaluu fi yommuu wanni ati qabdu hundi baayʼatutti,
and have obtained herds of oxen, and flocks of sheep, and a plentitude of gold and silver and all things,
14 ati of tuultee Waaqayyo Waaqa kee isa biyya Gibxi, biyya garbummaatii baasee si fide sana ni dagatta.
your heart might be lifted up, and you might not remember the Lord your God, who led you away from the land of Egypt, from the house of servitude,
15 Inni gammoojjii balʼaa fi sodaachisaa, biyya dheebuutii fi kan bishaan hin qabne, biyya bofa hadhaa qabuu fi torbaanqabaan keessa guute sana keessa si deemsise. Kattaa jabaa keessaas bishaan siif burqisiise.
and who was your leader in the great and terrible wilderness, in which there was the serpent with a burning breath, and the scorpion, and the snake of thirst, and no waters at all. He led streams out of the hardest rock,
16 Akka dhuma irratti sitti toluuf jedhee gad si qabuu fi si qoruudhaaf, waan takkumaa abbootiin kee hin beekin gammoojjii keessatti “mannaa” ati nyaattu siif kenne.
and he nourished you in the wilderness with Manna, which your fathers had not known. And after he had afflicted and tested you, in the very end, he took pity on you.
17 Ati, “Humna kootii fi jabina harka kootu qabeenya kana naaf argamsiise jettee” yaadda taʼa.
Otherwise, you might say in your heart: ‘My own strength, and the power of my own hand, have brought forth all these things for me.’
18 Garuu Waaqayyo Waaqa kee yaadadhu; kan akkuma harʼa jiru kanatti akka ati qabeenya horattuuf dandeettii siif kennee waadaa kakuudhaan abbootii keetiif gale sana siif eege isaatii.
But remember the Lord your God, that he himself has provided you with strength, so that he may fulfill his covenant, about which he swore to your fathers, just as the present day reveals.
19 Yoo ati Waaqayyo Waaqa kee irraanfattee waaqota biraa duukaa buute, yoo isaan waaqeffattee fi isaaniif sagadde akka isin dhugumaan baddan ani harʼa dhugaa isinitti nan baʼa.
But if you forget the Lord your God, so that you follow foreign gods, and serve and adore them: behold, I now foretell to you that you shall utterly perish.
20 Akkuma Saboota Waaqayyo fuula keessan duraa balleesse sanaa Waaqayyo Waaqa keessaniif waan ajajamuu didaniif akkasuma isinis ni balleeffamtu.
Just like the nations, which the Lord destroyed upon your arrival, so shall you also perish, if you have been disobedient to the voice of the Lord your God.”
