11 waggaa torbaffaatti garuu lafa sana boqochiisi malee hin qotin. Akkasiin hiyyeeyyiin saba keetii laficha irraa nyaata argatu; waan isaan irraa hafe immoo bineensi haa nyaatu. Muka wayinii keetiitii fi muka ejersa keetiis akkasuma godhi.
But the seuenth yeere thou shalt let it rest and lie still, that the poore of thy people may eat, and what they leaue, the beastes of the fielde shall eate. In like maner thou shalt doe with thy vineyard, and with thine oliue trees.

Behold, I send an Angel before thee, to keepe thee in the way, and to bring thee to the place which I haue prepared.
21 Xiyyeeffadhuutii waan inni jedhu dhaggeeffadhu. Isatti hin fincilin; inni waan Maqaa koo of irraa qabuuf fincila kee siif hin dhiisuutii.
Beware of him, and heare his voyce, and prouoke him not: for he will not spare your misdeedes, because my name is in him.
22 Yoo ati waan inni jedhu akka gaarii dhaggeeffatee waan ani dubbadhu hunda goote, ani diinota keetti diina nan taʼa; warra siin mormaniinis nan morma.
But if thou hearken vnto his voyce, and do all that I speake, the I wil be an enemie vnto thine enemies, and will afflict them that afflict thee.

Thou shalt not bow downe to their gods, neither serue them, nor doe after the workes of them: but vtterly ouerthrowe them, and breake in pieces their images.

For ye shall serue the Lord your God, and he shall blesse thy bread and thy water, and I will take all sickenes away from the middes of thee.

There shall none cast their fruite nor be baren in thy lande: the number of thy dayes will I fulfill.

And I will sende hornets before thee, which shall driue out the Hiuites, the Canaanites, and the Hittites from thy face.

I will not cast them out from thy face in one yeere, least the land grow to a wildernes: and the beasts of the field multiplie against thee.

By litle and litle I will driue them out from thy face, vntill thou increase, and inherite the lande.
31 “Anis daarii kee Galaana Diimaadhaa jalqabee hamma Galaana Filisxeemiitti, lafa alootii jalqabee hamma Laga Efraaxiisiitti siifin dhaaba. Namoota biyya sana jiraatanis dabarsee harka keetti nan kenna; ati immoo of duraa ariitee isaan baafta.
And I will make thy coastes from the red sea vnto the sea of the Philistims, and from the desert vnto the Riuer: for I will deliuer the inhabitants of the lande into your hande, and thou shalt driue them out from thy face.
32 Ati isaan wajjin yookaan waaqota isaanii wajjin kakuu tokko illee hin galin.
Thou shalt make no couenant with them, nor with their gods:
33 Akka isaan biyya kee keessa jiraatan hin eeyyamaniif; yoo akkas taʼe isaan akka ati cubbuu natti hojjettu si godhu; ati waaqota isaanii waaqeffannaan kun dhugumaan kiyyoo sitti taʼaatii.”
Neither shall they dwell in thy lande, least they make thee sinne against me: for if thou serue their gods, surely it shall be thy destruction.
