Keessa Deebii 9

1 Yaa Israaʼel dhagaʼi. Ati Saboota si caalaa gurguddaa fi humna qabeeyyii, magaalaawwan dallaa samii gaʼuun marfaman qaban achii baaftee dhaaluuf Yordaanos ceʼuuf jirta.

Hear, O Israel: Thou [art] to pass over Jordan this day, to go in to possess nations greater and mightier than thyself, cities great and fenced up to heaven,

2 Namoonni sun ilmaan Anaaq warra jajjaboo fi dhedheeroo dha! Atis waaʼee isaanii ni beekta; akka, “Eenyutu Anaaqota dura dhaabachuu dandaʼa?” jedhamu illee dhageesseerta.

A people great and tall, the children of the Anakims, whom thou knowest, and [of whom] thou hast heard [say], Who can stand before the children of Anak!

3 Taʼus kan akkuma ibidda waa gubee fixuu si dura ceʼu Waaqayyo Waaqa kee taʼuu isaa harʼa beeki. Inni isaan balleessa; fuula kee durattis gad isaan deebisa. Atis akkuma Waaqayyo si abdachiise sanatti ariitee isaan baafta; daftees isaan fixxa.

Understand therefore this day, that the LORD thy God [is] he which goeth over before thee; [as] a consuming fire he shall destroy them, and he shall bring them down before thy face: so shalt thou drive them out, and destroy them quickly, as the LORD hath said unto thee.

4 Erga Waaqayyo Waaqni kee fuula kee duraa ariʼee isaan baasee booddee ati garaa keetti, “Waaqayyo sababii qajeelummaa kootiif akka ani biyya kana dhaalu as na fide” hin jedhin. Waaqayyo sababii hammina isaaniitiif saboota kanneen fuula kee duraa ariʼee baasa.

Speak not thou in thine heart, after that the LORD thy God hath cast them out from before thee, saying, For my righteousness the LORD hath brought me in to possess this land: but for the wickedness of these nations the LORD doth drive them out from before thee.

5 Ati biyya isaaniitti galtee kan dhaaltu qajeelummaa keetiin yookaan gaarummaa garaa keetiitiin utuu hin taʼin Waaqayyo kakuu abbootii kee Abrahaamiif, Yisihaaqii fi Yaaqoobiif gale sana guutuudhaaf jedhee Waaqayyo Waaqni kee saboota kanneen sababii hammina isaaniitiif fuula kee duraa ariʼee baasa.

Not for thy righteousness, or for the uprightness of thine heart, dost thou go to possess their land: but for the wickedness of these nations the LORD thy God doth drive them out from before thee, and that he may perform the word which the LORD sware unto thy fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

6 Egaa Waaqayyo Waaqni kee kan biyya gaarii kana akka dhaaltuuf siif kennu sababii qajeelummaa keetiitiif akka hin taʼin hubadhu; ati saba mata jabeessaatii.

Understand therefore, that the LORD thy God giveth thee not this good land to possess it for thy righteousness; for thou [art] a stiffnecked people.

7 Ati akkamitti akka gammoojjii keessatti Waaqayyo Waaqa kee dheekkamsaaf kakaafte yaadadhu; hin dagatinis. Ati gaafa biyya Gibxii baatee jalqabdee hamma as geessutti Waaqayyotti fincilaa turte.

Remember, [and] forget not, how thou provokedst the LORD thy God to wrath in the wilderness: from the day that thou didst depart out of the land of Egypt, until ye came unto this place, ye have been rebellious against the LORD.

8 Isin Kooreebitti iyyuu Waaqayyoon dheekkamsaaf kakaasnaan Waaqayyo isin barbadeessuuf isinitti aare.

Also in Horeb ye provoked the LORD to wrath, so that the LORD was angry with you to have destroyed you.

9 Ani yeroo gabateewwan dhagaa jechuunis gabateewwan kakuu Waaqayyo isin wajjin gale sanaa fuudhuuf tulluutti ol baʼetti guyyaa afurtamaa fi halkan afurtama tulluu sana irran ture; ani buddeena tokko illee hin nyaanne; bishaan illee hin dhugne.

When I was gone up into the mount to receive the tables of stone, [even] the tables of the covenant which the LORD made with you, then I abode in the mount forty days and forty nights, I neither did eat bread nor drink water:

10 Waaqayyos gabateewwan dhagaa lama kanneen quba Waaqayyootiin irratti barreeffame natti kenne. Ajajawwan Waaqayyo yeroo isin walitti qabamtanitti tulluu irratti ibidda keessaa isinitti labse hundi gabateewwan sana irra turan.

And the LORD delivered unto me two tables of stone written with the finger of God; and on them [was written] according to all the words, which the LORD spake with you in the mount out of the midst of the fire in the day of the assembly.

11 Dhuma guyyaa afurtamaatii fi halkan afurtamaatti Waaqayyo gabateewwan dhagaa lama jechuunis gabateewwan kakuu natti kenne.

And it came to pass at the end of forty days and forty nights, [that] the LORD gave me the two tables of stone, [even] the tables of the covenant.

12 Gaafas Waaqayyo akkana naan jedhe; “Kaʼii dafii gad buʼi; sabni kee kan ati biyya Gibxiitii baaftee fidde sun xuraaʼeeraatii. Isaan waan ani isaan ajaje irraa dafanii garagalanii ofii isaaniitiif Waaqa baqfamee hojjetame tolfataniiruutii.”

And the LORD said unto me, Arise, get thee down quickly from hence; for thy people which thou hast brought forth out of Egypt have corrupted [themselves; ] they are quickly turned aside out of the way which I commanded them; they have made them a molten image.

13 Waaqayyo ammas akkana naan jedhe; “Ani saba kana argeera; kunoo inni saba mata jabeessa!

Furthermore the LORD spake unto me, saying, I have seen this people, and, behold, it [is] a stiffnecked people:

14 Akka ani isaan balleessee maqaa isaanii illee samii gadii haquuf na dhiisi; siʼi immoo isaan caalaa saba guddaa fi jabaa nan godha.”

Let me alone, that I may destroy them, and blot out their name from under heaven: and I will make of thee a nation mightier and greater than they.

15 Anis of irra garagalee utuma tulluun sun bobaʼaa jiruu tulluu irraa gad nan buʼe. Gabateewwan kakuu lamaan sunis na harka turan.

So I turned and came down from the mount, and the mount burned with fire: and the two tables of the covenant [were] in my two hands.

16 Anis nan arge; kunoo isin Waaqayyo Waaqa keessanitti cubbuu hojjettanii turtan; isin bifa jabbiitiin Waaqa baqfamee hojjetame ofii keessaniif tolfattanii turtan. Isin daftanii karaa Waaqayyo isin ajaje irraa jalʼattan.

And I looked, and, behold, ye had sinned against the LORD your God, [and] had made you a molten calf: ye had turned aside quickly out of the way which the LORD had commanded you.

17 Kanaafuu ani gabateewwan lamaan sana harka koo irraa darbadhee ijuma keessan duratti nan caccabse.

And I took the two tables, and cast them out of my two hands, and brake them before your eyes.

18 Sababii cubbuu isin hojjettan hundaa kan isin fuula Waaqayyoo duratti waan hamaa hojjechuudhaan dheekkamsaaf isa kakaaftan sanaatiif ani ammas fuula Waaqayyoo duratti gombifamee utuun buddeena hin nyaatinii fi bishaan hin dhugin guyyaa afurtamaa fi halkan afurtaman ture.

And I fell down before the LORD, as at the first, forty days and forty nights: I did neither eat bread, nor drink water, because of all your sins which ye sinned, in doing wickedly in the sight of the LORD, to provoke him to anger.

19 Sababii inni isin balleessuuf aaree tureef, ani aarii fi dheekkamsa Waaqayyoo nan sodaadhe. Waaqayyo garuu amma illee na dhagaʼe.

For I was afraid of the anger and hot displeasure, wherewith the LORD was wroth against you to destroy you. But the LORD hearkened unto me at that time also.

20 Waaqayyo Aroonin balleessuuf akka malee itti aaree ture; ani garuu yeroo sana Arooniifis nan kadhadhe.

And the LORD was very angry with Aaron to have destroyed him: and I prayed for Aaron also the same time.

21 Akkasumas ani cubbuu keessan bifa jabbii isin tolfattan sanaa fuudhee ibiddaan nan gube. Caccabsees hamma inni bullaaʼaa akka awwaaraa taʼutti bulleessee burqaa tulluu irraa gad yaaʼuttan firfirse.

And I took your sin, the calf which ye had made, and burnt it with fire, and stamped it, [and] ground [it] very small, [even] until it was as small as dust: and I cast the dust thereof into the brook that descended out of the mount.

22 Isinis Tabeeraatti, Maasaahii fi Qiibrooti Hataawaatti Waaqayyo dheekkamsiiftan.

And at Taberah, and at Massah, and at Kibroth-hattaavah, ye provoked the LORD to wrath.

23 Waaqayyo yommuu Qaadesh Barneetii isin baasetti, “Ol baʼaatii biyya ani isiniif kenne sana dhaalaa” isiniin jedhe. Isin garuu ajaja Waaqayyo Waaqa keessaniitti finciltan. Isas hin amananne; hin ajajamneefis.

Likewise when the LORD sent you from Kadesh-barnea, saying, Go up and possess the land which I have given you; then ye rebelled against the commandment of the LORD your God, and ye believed him not, nor hearkened to his voice.

24 Isin erga ani isin beekee jalqabdanii Waaqayyotti finciltaniirtu.

Ye have been rebellious against the LORD from the day that I knew you.

25 Sababii Waaqayyo akka isin balleessu dubbatee tureef ani guyyaa afurtamaa fi halkan afurtaman sana fuula Waaqayyoo duratti lafatti nan gombifame.

Thus I fell down before the LORD forty days and forty nights, as I fell down [at the first; ] because the LORD had said he would destroy you.

26 Anis akkana jedheen Waaqayyoon kadhadhe; “Yaa Waaqayyo Gooftaa, ati saba kee, dhaala kee kan humna kee guddichaa fi harka kee jabaadhaan furtee biyya Gibxii baafte kana hin balleessin.

I prayed therefore unto the LORD, and said, O Lord GOD, destroy not thy people and thine inheritance, which thou hast redeemed through thy greatness, which thou hast brought forth out of Egypt with a mighty hand.

27 Garboota kee Abrahaam, Yisihaaqii fi Yaaqoobin yaadadhu. Mata jabina saba kanaa, hammina isaatii fi cubbuu isaa hin ilaalin.

Remember thy servants, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; look not unto the stubbornness of this people, nor to their wickedness, nor to their sin:

28 Yoo kanaa achii biyyi ati keessaa nu baafte sun, ‘Waaqayyo waan biyya waadaa isaaniif gale sanatti isaan galchuu hin dandeenyee fi waan isaan jibbeef gammoojjii keessatti isaan fixuuf isaan baase’ jedha.

Lest the land whence thou broughtest us out say, Because the LORD was not able to bring them into the land which he promised them, and because he hated them, he hath brought them out to slay them in the wilderness.

29 Isaan garuu saba keetii fi dhaala kee kan ati humna jabaa fi irree diriirfameen baaftee fiddee dha.”

Yet they [are] thy people and thine inheritance, which thou broughtest out by thy mighty power and by thy stretched out arm.
