Keessa Deebii 1
1 Dubbiin kun dubbii Museen yeroo isaan gammoojjii gama baʼa Yordaanositti, Arabbaa fuullee Suufitti argamu sana keessa, Phaaraanii fi Toofel, Laabaan, Haxerootii fi Diizaahaab gidduu turanitti Israaʼeloota hundatti dubbatee dha.
These be the words which Moses spoke to all Israel on this side Jordan in the wilderness, in the plain over against the Red sea, between Paran, and Tophel, and Laban, and Hazeroth, and Dizahab.
2 Kooreebii karaa Tulluu Seeʼiiriin Qaadesh Barnee gaʼuuf guyyoota kudha tokko fudhata.
(There are eleven days’ journey from Horeb by the way of mount Seir to Kadeshbarnea.)
3 Museenis waggaa afurtamaffaa keessa guyyaa tokkoffaa jiʼa kudha tokkoffaatti waan Waaqayyo waaʼee isaanii isa ajaje hunda Israaʼelootatti hime.
And it came to pass in the fortieth year, in the eleventh month, on the first day of the month, that Moses spoke to the children of Israel, according to all that the LORD had given him in commandment to them;
4 Kunis erga inni Sihoon mootii Amoorotaa kan Heshboon bulchaa ture moʼatee Oogi mootii Baashaan kan Ashtaaroti bulchaa ture illee Edreyiitti moʼatee booddee dha.
After he had slain Sihon the king of the Amorites, which dwelled in Heshbon, and Og the king of Bashan, which dwelled at Astaroth in Edrei:
5 Baʼa Yordaanositti biyya Moʼaab keessatti Museen akkana jedhee seera kana ibsuu jalqabe:
On this side Jordan, in the land of Moab, began Moses to declare this law, saying,
6 Waaqayyo Waaqni keenya Kooreebitti akkana nuun jedhe; “Isin tulluu kana bira yeroo dheeraa turtaniirtu.
The LORD our God spoke to us in Horeb, saying, You have dwelled long enough in this mount:
7 Qubata buqqisaa kaʼaatii gara biyya gaaraa Amoorotaatti deemsa keessan itti fufaa; ergasiis saboota naannoo Arabbaatti argaman hunda keessa, biyya tulluuwwanii keessa, biyyoota gama dhiʼaatiin cina tulluuwwaniitti argaman keessa, Negeebii fi qarqara galaanaa, biyya Kanaʼaanotaatii fi Libaanoon keessa hamma laga Efraaxiis guddichaatti argaman keessa deemaa.
Turn you, and take your journey, and go to the mount of the Amorites, and to all the places near thereunto, in the plain, in the hills, and in the vale, and in the south, and by the sea side, to the land of the Canaanites, and to Lebanon, to the great river, the river Euphrates.
8 Kunoo, ani biyya kana isiniif kenneera. Biyya Waaqayyo abbootii keessaniif jechuunis Abrahaamiif, Yisihaaqiif, Yaaqoobii fi sanyii isaanii warra isaaniin duubaatiif kennuuf kakate sanatti galaatii dhaalaa.”
Behold, I have set the land before you: go in and possess the land which the LORD swore to your fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, to give to them and to their seed after them.
9 Ani yeroo sanatti akkanan isiniin jedhe; “Ani kophaa koo isin baachuu hin dandaʼu.
And I spoke to you at that time, saying, I am not able to bear you myself alone:
10 Waaqayyo Waaqni keessan isin baayʼiseera; kunoo, isin harʼa akkuma urjiiwwan samii baayʼattaniirtu.
The LORD your God has multiplied you, and, behold, you are this day as the stars of heaven for multitude.
11 Waaqayyo Waaqni abbootii keessanii yeroo kuma isin haa baayʼisu; akkuma abdii kenne sanattis isin haa eebbisu!
(The LORD God of your fathers make you a thousand times so many more as you are, and bless you, as he has promised you!)
12 Ani garuu akkamitti kophaa koo rakkina keessan, baʼaa keessanii fi wal mormii keessan baachuu dandaʼaa?
How can I myself alone bear your cumbrance, and your burden, and your strife?
13 Tokkoo tokkoo gosoota keessanii keessaa namoota ogeeyyii, hubattootaa fi kabajamoo filadhaa; anis isin irratti bulchitoota isaan nan taasisa.”
Take you wise men, and understanding, and known among your tribes, and I will make them rulers over you.
14 Isinis, “Wanni ati dhiʼeessite gaarii dha” jettanii naaf deebiftan.
And you answered me, and said, The thing which you have spoken is good for us to do.
15 Ani hangafoota gosoota keessanii jechuunis namoota ogeeyyii fi kabajamoo fudhadhee akka isaan ajajjuuwwan kumaa, ajajjuuwwan dhibbaa, ajajjuuwwan shantamaatii fi ajajjuuwwan kudhanii taʼanii isin irratti aangoo qabaatan nan muude.
So I took the chief of your tribes, wise men, and known, and made them heads over you, captains over thousands, and captains over hundreds, and captains over fifties, and captains over tens, and officers among your tribes.
16 Anis yeroo sanatti akkana jedhee abbootii murtii keessan nan ajaje; “Mormii obboloota keessan gidduutti kaʼu dhagaʼaa; yoo wal mormiin kaʼu sun Israaʼeloota obboloota gidduutti yookaan nama Israaʼel tokkoo fi alagaa tokko gidduutti taʼe murtii qajeelaa kennaa.
And I charged your judges at that time, saying, Hear the causes between your brothers, and judge righteously between every man and his brother, and the stranger that is with him.
17 Murtii kennuu keessatti nama wal hin caalchisinaa; guddaas xinnaas wal qixxee dhagaʼaa. Sababii murtiin kan Waaqaa taʼeef eenyuun iyyuu hin sodaatinaa. Waan humna keessanii ol taʼe natti fidaa; anis nan ilaalaa.”
You shall not respect persons in judgment; but you shall hear the small as well as the great; you shall not be afraid of the face of man; for the judgment is God’s: and the cause that is too hard for you, bring it to me, and I will hear it.
18 Ani yeroo sanatti waan isin gochuu qabdan hunda isin ajajeera.
And I commanded you at that time all the things which you should do.
19 Nus ergasii akkuma Waaqayyo Waaqni keenya nu ajajetti Kooreebii kaanee gammoojjii guddaa fi sodaachisaa isin argitan sana keessa dabarree gara biyya gaaraa Amoorotaa dhaqne; akkasiinis Qaadesh Barnee geenye.
And when we departed from Horeb, we went through all that great and terrible wilderness, which you saw by the way of the mountain of the Amorites, as the LORD our God commanded us; and we came to Kadeshbarnea.
20 Anis akkana isiniin jedhe; “Isin biyya gaaraa Amoorotaa kan Waaqayyo Waaqni keenya nuu kennu geessaniirtu.
And I said to you, You are come to the mountain of the Amorites, which the LORD our God does give to us.
21 Kunoo, Waaqayyo Waaqni keessan biyyattii isiniif kenneera. Dhaqaatii akkuma Waaqayyo Waaqni abbootii keessanii isinitti hime sanatti ishee dhaalaa; hin sodaatinaa; abdiis hin kutatinaa.”
Behold, the LORD your God has set the land before you: go up and possess it, as the LORD God of your fathers has said to you; fear not, neither be discouraged.
22 Ergasiis hundi keessan na bira dhuftanii, “Akka isaan biyyattii nuu basaasaniif duraan dursinee namoota erganna; isaanis waaʼee karaa achi nu geessuutii fi magaalaawwan nu itti dhufnuu oduu nuu fidu” jettan.
And you came near to me every one of you, and said, We will send men before us, and they shall search us out the land, and bring us word again by what way we must go up, and into what cities we shall come.
23 Yaadni sunis gaarii natti fakkaate; ani kudha lamaan keessan jechuunis tokkoo tokkoo gosaa keessaa nama tokko nan filadhe.
And the saying pleased me well: and I took twelve men of you, one of a tribe:
24 Isaanis kaʼanii biyya gaaraatti ol baʼanii Sulula Eshkool gaʼanii biyyattii basaasan.
And they turned and went up into the mountain, and came to the valley of Eshcol, and searched it out.
25 Ija biyyattii keessaas waa fidanii dhufanii, “Biyyi Waaqayyo Waaqni keenya nuuf kennu kun gaarii dha” jedhanii nutti himan.
And they took of the fruit of the land in their hands, and brought it down to us, and brought us word again, and said, It is a good land which the LORD our God does give us.
26 Isin garuu dhaquu diddanii ajaja Waaqayyo Waaqa keessaniitti finciltan.
Notwithstanding you would not go up, but rebelled against the commandment of the LORD your God:
27 Dunkaana keessan keessattis akkana jettanii guungumtan; “Waaqayyo nu jibba; kanaafuu biyya Gibxiitii nu baasuun isaatuu akka isaan nu balleessaniif harka Amoorotaatti dabarsee nu kennuuf.
And you murmured in your tents, and said, Because the LORD hated us, he has brought us forth out of the land of Egypt, to deliver us into the hand of the Amorites, to destroy us.
28 Egaa nu eessa dhaquu dandeenya? Obboloonni keenya, ‘Jarri nu caalaa jajjaboo fi hojjaan isaanii dhedheeraa dha; magaalaawwan isaaniis gurguddaa fi dallaawwan samii gaʼaniin marfamaniiru; kana biratti immoo ilmaan Anaaq argineerra’ jedhanii nu sodaachisan.”
Where shall we go up? our brothers have discouraged our heart, saying, The people is greater and taller than we; the cities are great and walled up to heaven; and moreover we have seen the sons of the Anakims there.
29 Anis akkanan isiniin jedhe; “Hin rifatinaa; isaan hin sodaatinaa.
Then I said to you, Dread not, neither be afraid of them.
30 Waaqayyo Waaqni keessan kan fuula keessan dura deemu kun akkuma ija keessan duratti biyya Gibxi keessatti isinii godhe sana isiniif ni lola;
The LORD your God which goes before you, he shall fight for you, according to all that he did for you in Egypt before your eyes;
31 gammoojjii keessattis akkasuma. Hamma as geessanittis karaa deemtan hundatti akkamitti akka Waaqayyo Waaqni keessan akkuma abbaan ilma isaa baatutti isin baate argitaniirtu.”
And in the wilderness, where you have seen how that the LORD your God bore you, as a man does bear his son, in all the way that you went, until you came into this place.
32 Taʼus isin Waaqayyo Waaqa keessan
Yet in this thing you did not believe the LORD your God,
33 isa iddoo isin qubattan barbaaduu fi daandii isin deemuu qabdan isin argisiisuudhaaf jedhee halkan ibiddaan, guyyaa immoo duumessaan isin dura deemee isin qajeelchaa ture hin amananne.
Who went in the way before you, to search you out a place to pitch your tents in, in fire by night, to show you by what way you should go, and in a cloud by day.
34 Waaqayyos yommuu waan isin jettan dhagaʼetti dheekkamee akkana jedhee kakate:
And the LORD heard the voice of your words, and was wroth, and swore, saying,
35 “Dhaloota hamaa kana keessaa namni tokko iyyuu biyya gaarii ani akka abbootii keessaniif kennu kakuu gale sana hin argu;
Surely there shall not one of these men of this evil generation see that good land, which I swore to give to your fathers.
36 Kaaleb ilma Yefunee sana malee kan argu hin jiru. Inni biyya sana ni arga; sababii inni garaa guutuudhaan Waaqayyo duukaa buʼeef ani lafa inni miilla isaa irra dhaabbate sana isaa fi sanyii isaatiif nan kenna.”
Save Caleb the son of Jephunneh; he shall see it, and to him will I give the land that he has trodden on, and to his children, because he has wholly followed the LORD.
37 Sababii keessaniif Waaqayyo natti illee dheekkamee akkana jedhe; “Ati iyyuu itti hin galtu.
Also the LORD was angry with me for your sakes, saying, You also shall not go in thither.
38 Gargaaraan kee Iyyaasuun ilmi Nuuni garuu itti gala. Inni waan Israaʼeloota biyyattii dhaalchisuuf isa jajjabeessi.
But Joshua the son of Nun, which stands before you, he shall go in thither: encourage him: for he shall cause Israel to inherit it.
39 Daaʼimman isin ni boojiʼaman jettan, ilmaan keessan kanneen waan tolaa fi hamaa gargar baasanii hin beekne biyya sanatti ni galu. Ani isaaniifan kenna; isaanis ni dhaalu.
Moreover your little ones, which you said should be a prey, and your children, which in that day had no knowledge between good and evil, they shall go in thither, and to them will I give it, and they shall possess it.
40 Isin garuu duubatti deebiʼaatii daandii gara Galaana Diimaatti geessu qabadhaatii gammoojjiitti qajeelaa.”
But as for you, turn you, and take your journey into the wilderness by the way of the Red sea.
41 Isinis, “Nu Waaqayyotti cubbuu hojjenneerra. Dhaqnee akkuma Waaqayyo Waaqni keenya nu ajajetti lolla” jettanii deebiftan. Biyya gaaraa dhaquun waan salphaa isinitti fakkaatee akkasiin tokkoon tokkoon keessan miʼa lolaa qabattanii kaatan.
Then you answered and said to me, We have sinned against the LORD, we will go up and fight, according to all that the LORD our God commanded us. And when you had girded on every man his weapons of war, you were ready to go up into the hill.
42 Waaqayyo garuu, “‘Waan ani isin wajjin hin jirreef lolaaf hin baʼinaa. Isin diinota keessaniin ni moʼatamtu’ jedhii isaanitti himi” naan jedhe.
And the LORD said to me, Say to them, Go not up, neither fight; for I am not among you; lest you be smitten before your enemies.
43 Anis akkasuman isinitti hime; isin garuu na hin dhageenye. Ajaja Waaqayyootti finciltanii of tuulummaa keessaniin biyya gaaraatti duultan.
So I spoke to you; and you would not hear, but rebelled against the commandment of the LORD, and went presumptuously up into the hill.
44 Amooronni gaarran irra jiraatan isinitti dhufan; isaanis akkuma tuuta kanniisaatti baʼanii isin gugsan; Seeʼiirii hamma Hormaatti isin dhaʼan.
And the Amorites, which dwelled in that mountain, came out against you, and chased you, as bees do, and destroyed you in Seir, even to Hormah.
45 Isin deebitanii dhuftanii fuula Waaqayyoo duratti boossan; inni garuu booʼicha keessan hin dhageenye; gurra isaas isiniif hin kennine.
And you returned and wept before the LORD; but the LORD would not listen to your voice, nor give ear to you.
46 Akka yeroo isin achi jiraattaniitti, guyyoonni isin Qaadesh keessa jiraattan baayʼee dha.
So you stayed in Kadesh many days, according to the days that you stayed there.
