Baʼuu 34
1 Waaqayyo Museedhaan akkana jedhe; “Gabateewwan dhagaa lama akkuma kanneen duraa sanaatti soofi; anis dubbii gabateewwan ati caccabsite sana irra turan isaan irratti nan barreessa.
Yahweh said to Moses/me, “Cut two slabs of stone that will be like the first slabs, the ones that you broke. Then I will engrave on them the words that were on the first slabs.
2 Atis ganamaan qophaayiitii Tulluu Siinaatti ol baʼi. Achitti, fiixee tulluu sanaa irratti fuula koo duratti of dhiʼeessi.
Get ready tomorrow morning, and come up to the top of Sinai Mountain again to talk with me there.
3 Namni tokko iyyuu si wajjin hin dhufin yookaan tulluu sana irratti eessumattuu hin mulʼatin. Bushaayee fi loon iyyuu fuula tulluu sanaa duratti hin bobbaʼin.”
Do not allow anyone to come up with you. I do not want anyone [else] to be anywhere on the mountain. Do not allow any sheep or cattle to graze (at the base of/near) the mountain.”
4 Museenis gabateewwan dhagaa lama akkuma kanneen jalqabaatti soofe; innis gabateewwan lamaanis harkatti qabatee akkuma Waaqayyo isa ajajetti ganama bariin Tulluu Siinaatti ol baʼe.
So Moses/I cut two slabs of stone that were like the first ones. He/I arose early the next morning. He/I took the slabs and carried them in his/my hands up to the top of Sinai Mountain, as Yahweh had commanded.
5 Waaqayyo duumessaan gad buʼee isa wajjin achi dhaabate; maqaa Waaqayyoos ni labse.
Then Yahweh descended in the [tall] cloud and stood with Moses/me there. He proclaimed that it was he, Yahweh, [who was going to speak to Moses/me].
6 Waaqayyo fuula Musee dura darbee akkana jedhee labse; “Waaqayyo, Waaqayyo Waaqa gara laafessaa fi arjaa, kan dafee hin aarre, kan jaalallii fi amanamummaan isaa guddaa,
Then Yahweh passed in front of him/me and proclaimed, “I am Yahweh God. I always act mercifully and kindly [toward people]. I do not get angry quickly. I [truly] love [people] and I do what I promise to do for them, without changing.
7 kan araara isaa dhaloota kumaatamaaf tursu, kan hammina, fincilaa fi cubbuu namaaf dhiisuu dha. Taʼu illee inni nama yakka hojjetu adabu malee hin dhiisu; inni hamma dhaloota sadaffaa fi afuraffaatti sababii cubbuu abbootii isaaniitiif jedhee ijoollee isaaniitii fi ijoollee ijoollee isaanii ni adaba.”
I love people for thousands of generations. I forgive people for all kinds of sins [TRI]. But I will certainly punish [LIT] those who are guilty. I will punish not only them, but I will punish (their descendants, down to the third and fourth generation/their children and grandchildren and great-grandchildren).”
8 Museen yommuu suma lafatti gad jedhee sagade.
Moses/I quickly prostrated himself/myself on the ground and worshiped [Yahweh].
9 Innis, “Yaa Gooftaa, yoo ani fuula kee duratti ayyaana argadhee jiraadhe, Gooftaan nu wajjin haa deemu. Yoo sabni kun saba mata jabeessa taʼe illee hammina keenyaa fi cubbuu keenya nuu dhiisi; dhaala kees nu godhadhu” jedhe.
He/I said, “Yahweh, if you are now pleased with me, I ask that you go with us. These people are very stubborn [IDM], but forgive us for all our sins [DOU], and accept us to be people who belong to you [forever].”
10 Kana irratti Waaqayyo akkana jedhe; “Kunoo ani si wajjin kakuu nan gala. Ani fuula saba kee hundaa duratti dinqiiwwan kanaan dura saba kam iyyuu keessatti, addunyaa hunda keessatti takkumaa hin hojjetamin nan hojjedha. Sabni ati keessa jiraattus akka hojiin ani Waaqayyo siif hojjedhu hammam sodaachisaa taʼe ni arga.
Yahweh replied, “Note this: I am going to make a solemn agreement [with the Israeli people]. As they are watching, I will perform great miracles. They will be miracles that no one has ever done on the earth in any nation. All the people who are near you will see the great things that I, Yahweh, will do. I will do awesome things for you [all].
11 Waan ani harʼa si ajajuuf ajajami. Anis Amoorota, Kanaʼaanota, Heetota, Feerzota, Hiiwotaa fi Yebuusota fuula kee duraa ariʼee nan baasa.
[Each Israeli] person must obey what I am commanding you this day. Do not forget that [if you obey me], I will expel the Amor, Canaan, Heth, Periz, Hiv, and Jebus people-groups [from the land]. But be careful that you do not make any [peace] agreements with any of the people who live in the land into which you are going, because if you do that, [you will begin to do the evil things that they do]. It will be [like] falling into a trap.
12 Akka warra biyya ati itti galuuf deemtu sana keessa jiraatan wajjin kakuu hin galleef of eeggadhu; yoo kanaa achii isaan kiyyoo sitti taʼu.
13 Iddoowwan aarsaa isaanii diigaa; siidaawwan waaqeffannaa isaanii caccabsaa; utubaawwan Aasheeraa isaaniis jijjigsaa.
You must tear down their altars, destroy their sacred pillars, and cut down [the poles that they use to worship their female goddess] Asherah.
14 Sababii Waaqayyo maqaan isaa Hinaafaa jedhamu sun Waaqa hinaafu taʼeef ati Waaqa biraa hin waaqeffatin.
You must worship only me, [and] not worship any other god, because I, Yahweh, cannot endure any rivals.
15 “Ati akka warra biyya sana keessa jiraatan wajjin kakuu hin galleef of eeggadhu. Sababiin isaa isaan yommuu waaqota isaanii wajjin sagaagalanii fi yommuu waaqota isaaniitiif aarsaa dhiʼeessanitti si waamu; atis aarsaa isaanii ni nyaatta.
Do not make peace agreements with [any group] that lives in that land. When they worship their gods and offer sacrifices to their gods, and they invite you to join them, do not join them. If [you join them], you will eat the food that they sacrifice to their gods, and [you will not be faithful to me. You will be like people who] commit adultery, [who are not being faithful to their spouses] [MET].
16 Yeroo ati ilmaan kee intallan isaanii fuusiftee, intallan isaanii sun waaqota isaanii wajjin sagaagalanitti isaan akka ilmaan kees akkuma isaanii sagaagalan godhu.
If you take some of their women to be wives for your sons, and these women worship their own gods, they will persuade your sons also to worship their gods.
17 “Waaqota tolfamoo baqfamanii hojjetaman hin tolfatin.
Do not pour melted metal into molds to make statues for you to worship.
18 “Ayyaana Maxinoo ayyaaneffadhu. Ati sababii jiʼa Abiibii keessa Gibxii baateef akkuma ani si ajaje sanatti jiʼa Abiibii keessa yeroo murteeffametti bultii torba Maxinoo nyaadhu.
[Each year], during the month [of/named] Abib, celebrate the Festival of Eating Bread Made Without Yeast. [During that festival], for seven days you must not eat bread made with yeast, as I commanded you, because it was in that month that you left Egypt.
19 “Kan jalqabatti gadameessa saaqee baʼu hundi kan koo ti; kormi horii keetii hangafni jechuunis kormi looniitii fi kormi hoolotaa hangafni koo ti.
Your firstborn sons and the firstborn [male] animals of your cattle and sheep [and goats] belong to me.
20 Harree hangafa xobbaallaa hoolaatiin furi; yoo furuu baatte immoo morma isaa cabsi. Ilmaan kee hangafa hundas furi. “Namni tokko iyyuu harka duwwaa fuula koo duratti hin dhiʼaatin.
The firstborn of your [male] donkeys [also belong to me]. But you may buy them back by [offering to me] lambs [in their place]. If you do not do that, you must [kill these animals by] breaking their necks. You must also buy back your firstborn sons. You must bring an offering to me [LIT] each time you come to [worship] me.
21 “Guyyaa jaʼa hojii hojjedhu; guyyaa torbaffaatti garuu boqodhu. Yeroo qonnaatii fi yeroo midhaan galfamutti boqodhu.
[Each week] you may work for six days, but on the seventh day you must rest. [Even] during the times when you plow [the ground] and harvest [your crops], you must rest [on the seventh day].
22 “Mataa qamadii jalqabaa irratti Ayyaana Torbanootaa ayyaaneffadhu; dhuma waggaa irratti immoo ayyaana galchaa midhaanii ayyaaneffadhu.
[Each year] celebrate the Harvest Festival, when you begin to harvest the first crop of wheat, and also celebrate the Festival of Living in Temporary Shelters, when you finish harvesting [the grain and fruit].
23 Dhiirri kee hundi waggaatti yeroo sadii fuula Waaqayyo Gooftaa, fuula Waaqa Israaʼel duratti haa dhiʼaatan.
Three times each year all the men must come to worship me, Yahweh, the God of the Israeli people.
24 Ani Namoota Ormaa si duraa ariʼee nan baasa; daangaa kee nan balʼisa; yoo ati waggaatti yeroo sadii Waaqayyo Waaqa kee duratti dhiʼaachuu dhaqxus namni tokko iyyuu biyya kee fudhachuu hin hawwu.
I will expel the people-groups that live in the land [where you will be], and I will cause your territory to become very large. As a result, no group will try to conquer your country if you come to worship me each year during those three festivals.
25 “Dhiiga aarsaa waan raacitii qabu wajjin naa hin dhiʼeessin; qalmi Ayyaana Faasiikaa irraa hafus hamma bariitti hin turin.
When you sacrifice an animal [MTY] to me, do not offer with it bread that is made with yeast. And during the Passover Festival, when you sacrifice lambs, do not keep any of the meat until the next morning.
26 “Mataa midhaan lafa keetii keessaa filatamaa isaa gara mana Waaqayyo Waaqa keetii fidi. “Ilmoo reʼee aannan haadha isheetiin hin affeelin.”
I am Yahweh God. You must bring to my Sacred Tent the first part of the grain that you harvest each year. When you kill a young animal/kid [either a lamb or a calf], do not [prepare to eat it by] boiling it in its mother’s milk.”
27 Waaqayyos Museedhaan, “Dubbii kana barreessi; ani akkuma dubbii kanaatti siʼii fi saba Israaʼel wajjin kakuu galeeraatii” jedhe.
Yahweh also said to Moses/me, “Write down the words that I have told you. By giving you these commands, I have made a solemn agreement with you and with the [other] Israeli people.”
28 Museenis utuu buddeena hin nyaatin yookaan utuu bishaan hin dhugin guyyaa afurtamaa fi halkan afurtama Waaqayyo bira achi ture. Innis dubbii kakuu sana jechuunis Ajajawwan Kurnan gabateewwan sana irratti barreesse.
Moses/I was there [on the top of the mountain] with Yahweh for 40 days and nights. During that time he/I did not eat or drink anything [SYN]. He/I engraved on the stone slabs the words of the Ten Commandments, [which were part of Yahweh’s] solemn agreement.
29 Museen gabateewwan Dhuga baʼumsaa lamaan sana harkatti qabatee Tulluu Siinaa irraa gad buʼe; innis sababii Waaqayyo wajjin dubbachaa tureef akka fuulli isaa calaqqisu hin beekne ture.
When Moses/I came back down the mountain, carrying in his/my hand the two stone slabs on which were written the Ten Commandments, his/my face was shining because he/I had been talking with Yahweh, but he/I did not know that his/my face was shining.
30 Yommuu Aroonii fi sabni Israaʼel hundi Musee arganitti kunoo, fuulli isaa calaqqisaa ture; isaanis isatti dhiʼaachuu sodaatan.
When Aaron and the [other] Israeli people saw Moses/me, they were amazed/surprised that his/my face was shining. So they were afraid to come near him/me.
31 Museen garuu isaan waame; Aroonii fi bulchitoonni hawaasichaa hundinuus gara isaatti deebiʼan; innis isaanitti dubbate.
But Moses/I called to them. Then Aaron and the other Israeli leaders came to him/me, and he/I talked with them.
32 Sabni Israaʼel hundi isatti dhiʼaate; innis waan Waaqayyo Gaara Siinaa irratti isatti dubbate hunda isaan ajaje.
Afterwards, all the other Israeli people came near, and he/I told them all the laws that Yahweh had given to him/me on Sinai Mountain.
33 Museen yommuu isaanitti dubbatee fixatetti fuula isaa haguuggate.
When Moses/I finished talking to the people, he/I put a veil over his/my face.
34 Yommuu Waaqayyo wajjin dubbachuudhaaf fuula isaa duratti ol seenu garuu hamma achii baʼutti haguuggii sana of irraa fuudha ture. Yommuu inni achii baʼee waan ajajame sana saba Israaʼelitti himutti,
But whenever Moses/I entered the Sacred Tent to talk with Yahweh, he/I removed the veil. When he/I came back out, he/I would always tell to the Israeli people everything that Yahweh had commanded him/me [to tell them].
35 isaan akka fuulli isaa calaqqisu argan. Ergasii Museen hamma Waaqayyo wajjin dubbachuuf ol galutti fuula isaa deebisee haguuggata ture.
The Israeli people would see that Moses’/my face was [still] shining. Then he/I would put the veil back on his/my face again until the next time that he/I went into [the Sacred Tent] to talk with Yahweh.
