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 spake unto 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 unto Kadesh Barnea.)
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 spake unto the children of Israel, according unto all that YHWH had given him in commandment unto 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 dwelt in Heshbon, and Og the king of Bashan, which dwelt 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.
YHWH our Elohim spake unto us in Horeb, saying, Ye have dwelt 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 unto all the places nigh 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 unto Lebanon, unto 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 YHWH sware unto your fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, to give unto them and to their seed after them.
9 Ani yeroo sanatti akkanan isiniin jedhe; “Ani kophaa koo isin baachuu hin dandaʼu.
And I spake unto 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.
YHWH your Elohim hath multiplied you, and, behold, ye 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!
( YHWH Elohim of your fathers make you a thousand times so many more as ye are, and bless you, as he hath 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 ye answered me, and said, The thing which thou hast 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 brethren, 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.”
Ye shall not respect persons in judgment; but ye shall hear the small as well as the great; ye shall not be afraid of the face of man; for the judgment is Elohim's: and the cause that is too hard for you, bring it unto 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 ye 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 ye saw by the way of the mountain of the Amorites, as YHWH our Elohim 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 unto you, Ye are come unto the mountain of the Amorites, which YHWH our Elohim doth give unto 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, YHWH thy Elohim hath set the land before thee: go up and possess it, as YHWH Elohim of thy fathers hath said unto thee; 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 ye came near unto 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 unto 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 unto us, and brought us word again, and said, It is a good land which YHWH our Elohim doth give us.
26 Isin garuu dhaquu diddanii ajaja Waaqayyo Waaqa keessaniitti finciltan.
Notwithstanding ye would not go up, but rebelled against the commandment of YHWH your Elohim:
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 ye murmured in your tents, and said, Because YHWH hated us, he hath 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.”
Whither shall we go up? our brethren 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 unto 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;
YHWH your Elohim which goeth 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 thou hast seen how that YHWH thy Elohim bare thee, as a man doth bear his son, in all the way that ye went, until ye came into this place.
32 Taʼus isin Waaqayyo Waaqa keessan
Yet in this thing ye did not believe YHWH your Elohim,
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 shew you by what way ye should go, and in a cloud by day.
34 Waaqayyos yommuu waan isin jettan dhagaʼetti dheekkamee akkana jedhee kakate:
And YHWH heard the voice of your words, and was wroth, and sware, 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 sware to give unto 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 hath trodden upon, and to his children, because he hath wholly followed YHWH.
37 Sababii keessaniif Waaqayyo natti illee dheekkamee akkana jedhe; “Ati iyyuu itti hin galtu.
Also YHWH was angry with me for your sakes, saying, Thou also shalt 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 standeth before thee, 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 ye 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 unto 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 ye answered and said unto me, We have sinned against YHWH, we will go up and fight, according to all that YHWH our Elohim commanded us. And when ye had girded on every man his weapons of war, ye 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 YHWH said unto me, Say unto them. Go not up, neither fight; for I am not among you; lest ye 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 spake unto you; and ye would not hear, but rebelled against the commandment of YHWH, 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 dwelt in that mountain, came out against you, and chased you, as bees do, and destroyed you in Seir, even unto Hormah.
45 Isin deebitanii dhuftanii fuula Waaqayyoo duratti boossan; inni garuu booʼicha keessan hin dhageenye; gurra isaas isiniif hin kennine.
And ye returned and wept before YHWH; but YHWH would not hearken to your voice, nor give ear unto you.
46 Akka yeroo isin achi jiraattaniitti, guyyoonni isin Qaadesh keessa jiraattan baayʼee dha.
So ye abode in Kadesh many days, according unto the days that ye abode there.
