Iyyaasuu 22
1 Ergasii Iyyaasuun gosa Ruubeen, gosa Gaadii fi walakkaa gosa Minaasee walitti waamee
Then Ioshua called the Reubenites, and the Gadites, and the halfe tribe of Manasseh,
2 akkana jedheen; “Isin waan Museen garbichi Waaqayyoo ajaje hundumaa hojjettaniirtu; waan ani isin ajaje hundas naa ajajamtaniirtu.
And sayd vnto them, Ye haue kept all that Moses the seruaunt of the Lord commanded you, and haue obeied my voice in all that I commanded you:
3 Isin bara dheeraaf, hamma harʼaatti illee obboloota keessan hin daganne; ajaja Waaqayyo Waaqni keessan isinii kennes eegdaniirtu.
You haue not forsaken your brethren this long season vnto this day, but haue diligently kept the commandement of the Lord your God.
4 Waaqayyo Waaqni keessan akkuma waadaa gale sanatti obboloota keessan boqochiiseera; isin biyya Museen garbichi Waaqayyoo Yordaanos gamaa isinii kenne sanatti gara mana keessaniitti deebiʼaa.
And nowe the Lord hath giuen rest vnto your brethren as he promised them: therefore nowe returne ye and goe to your tentes, to the land of your possession, which Moses the seruant of the Lord hath giuen you beyond Iorden.
5 Garuu akka Waaqayyo Waaqa keessan jaallattaniif, akka karaa isaa hunda irra deemtaniif, akka ajajawwan isaa eegdaniif, akka isatti maxxantanii fi akka garaa keessan guutuu fi lubbuu keessan guutuudhaan isa tajaajiltaniif ajajaa fi seera Museen garbichi Waaqayyoo isinii kenne sana jabeessaa eegaa.”
But take diligent heede, to doe the commandement and Lawe, which Moses the seruant of the Lord commanded you: that is, that ye loue the Lord your God, and walke in all his wayes, and keepe his commandements, and cleaue vnto him, and serue him with all your heart and with all your soule.
6 Ergasiis Iyyaasuun eebbisee gad isaan dhiise; isaanis gara mana isaaniitti deebiʼan.
So Ioshua blessed them and sent them away, and they went vnto their tents.
7 Museen walakkaa gosa Minaaseetiif Baashaan keessaa lafa kennee ture; Iyyaasuun immoo walakkaa kaaniif Yordaanosiin gama lixaatti obboloota isaanii cinatti lafa kenne. Iyyaasuun yommuu gara mana isaaniitti isaan ergetti isaan eebbise;
Nowe vnto one halfe of the tribe of Manasseh Moses had giuen a possession in Bashan: and vnto the other halfe thereof gaue Ioshua among their brethren on this side Iorden Westwarde: therefore when Ioshua sent them away vnto their tents, and blessed them,
8 akkanas jedheen; “Qabeenya keessan guddaa jechuunis horii baayʼee, meetii, warqee, naasii fi sibiila akkasumas uffata baayʼee fudhadhaa galaatii boojuu diinota keessan irraa boojitan sana obboloota keessan wajjin qooddadhaa.”
Thus he spake vnto them, saying, Returne with much riches vnto your tents, and with a great multitude of cattell, with siluer and with golde, with brasse and with yron, and with great abundance of rayment: deuide the spoyle of your enemies with your brethren.
9 Kanaafuu gosti Ruubeen, gosti Gaadii fi walakkaan gosa Minaasee gara biyya ofii isaanii gara Giliʼaad ishee akkuma Waaqayyo karaa Museetiin ajajetti argatan sanaatti deebiʼuuf jedhanii Shiiloo ishee Kanaʼaan keessaa sanatti Israaʼeloota dhiisanii deeman.
So the children of Reuben, and the children of Gad, and halfe the tribe of Manasseh returned, and departed from the children of Israel from Shiloh (which is in the land of Canaan) to goe vnto the countrey of Gilead to the land of their possession, which they had obteyned, according to ye word of the Lord by the hand of Moses.
10 Gosti Ruubeen, gostii Gaadii fi walakkaan gosa Minaasee yommuu Galiilooti biyya Kanaʼaan keessaa kan Yordaanos biraa sana gaʼanitti, iddoo aarsaa guddaa isaa Yordaanos biratti tolchan.
And when they came vnto the borders of Iorden (which are in the land of Canaan) then the children of Reuben, and the children of Gad, and the halfe tribe of Manasseh, built there an altar by Iorden, a great altar to see to.
11 Israaʼeloonni yommuu akka isaan gama Israaʼelootaatiin daarii Kanaʼaan irratti Galiilooti ishee Yordaanos cinaa sanatti iddoo aarsaa tolchan dhagaʼanitti,
When the children of Israel heard say, Beholde, the children of Reuben, and the children of Gad, and the halfe tribe of Manasseh haue built an altar in the forefront of the lande of Canaan vpon the borders of Iorden at the passage of the children of Israel:
12 guutummaan waldaa Israaʼel isaanitti duuluuf Shiilootti walitti qabaman.
When the children of Israel heard it, then the whole Congregation of the children of Israel gathered them together at Shiloh to goe vp to warre against them.
13 Kanaafuu Israaʼeloonni Fiinehaas ilma Eleʼaazaar lubichaa sana gara gosa Ruubeen, gosa Gaadii fi gara walakkaa gosa Minaasee warra Giliʼaad keessa jiraatanitti ergan.
Then the children of Israel sent vnto the children of Reuben, and to the children of Gad, and to ye halfe tribe of Manasseh into the land of Gilead, Phinehas the sonne of Eleazar the Priest,
14 Isa wajjinis hangafoota kudhan, tokkoo tokkoo gosa Israaʼeliif nama tokko ergan; tokkoon tokkoon isaaniis hangafa balbala maatii Israaʼel.
And with him ten princes, of euery chiefe house a prince, according to all the tribes of Israel: for euery one was chiefe of their fathers housholde among the thousands of Israel.
15 Isaanis Giliʼaaditti gosa Ruubeen, gosa Gaadii fi walakkaa gosa Minaasee bira dhufanii akkana isaaniin jedhan:
So they went vnto the children of Reuben, and to the children of Gad, and to the halfe tribe of Manasseh, vnto the land of Gilead, and spake with them, saying,
16 “Guutummaan waldaa Waaqayyoo akkana jedha: ‘Isin akkamitti akkanaan amanamummaa Waaqa Israaʼel wajjin qabdan sana cabsitu? Isin akkamitti Waaqayyo irraa garagaltanii isatti finciluudhaan ofii keessaniif iddoo aarsaa tolfattu?
Thus saith the whole congregation of the Lord, What transgression is this that ye haue transgressed against the God of Israel, to turne away this day from the Lord, in that ye haue built you an altar for to rebell this day against the Lord?
17 Cubbuun Pheʼoor keessatti hojjetame sun nu hin gaʼuu? Dhaʼichi saba Waaqayyoo irra buʼu iyyuu, nu hamma harʼaatti cubbuu sana irraa of hin qulqulleessine.
Haue we too litle for the wickednesse of Peor, whereof we are not clensed vnto this day, though a plague came vpon the Congregation of the Lord?
18 Isin ammas Waaqayyo irraa garagaluu keessanii? “‘Yoo isin harʼa Waaqayyotti finciltan inni immoo bori hawaasa Israaʼel hundatti ni dheekkama.
Ye also are turned away this day from the Lord: and seeing ye rebell to day against ye Lord, euen to morowe he will be wroth with all the Congregation of Israel.
19 Yoo lafti isin qabattan sun xuroofte, gara lafa Waaqayyo iddoo dunkaanni Waaqayyoo dhaabatuu kottaatii nu wajjin lafa qoodadhaa. Garuu iddoo aarsaa Waaqayyo Waaqa keenyaa malee iddoo aarsaa biraa ofii keessanii tolfattanii Waaqayyotti yookaan nutti hin fincilinaa.
Notwithstanding if the land of your possession be vncleane, come ye ouer vnto the land of the possession of the Lord, wherein the Lordes Tabernacle dwelleth, and take possession among vs: but rebell not against the Lord, nor rebell not against vs in building you an altar, beside the altar of the Lord our God.
20 Yeroo Aakaan ilmi Zaaraa waan dhowwamaa taʼe fudhachuudhaan cubbuu hojjetetti waldaa Israaʼel hundatti dheekkamsi hin dhufnee? Namni sababii cubbuu isaatiin duʼe isa qofa miti.’”
Did not Achan ye sonne of Zerah trespasse grieuously in the execrable thing, and wrath fell on all the Congregation of Israel? and this man alone perished not in his wickednesse.
21 Kana irratti gosti Ruubeen, gosti Gaadii fi walakkaan gosa Minaasee akkana jedhanii hangafoota maatiiwwan Israaʼeliif deebisan;
Then the children of Reuben and the children of Gad, and halfe the tribe of Manasseh answered, and saide vnto the heads ouer the thousands of Israel,
22 “Waaqayyo Waaqni waaqotaa, Waaqayyo Waaqni waaqotaa ni beeka! Israaʼelis haa beeku! Yoo wanni kun Waaqayyotti finciluuf yookaan isaa ajajamuu diduuf taʼe harʼa nu hin hambisin.
The Lord God of gods, the Lord God of gods, he knoweth, and Israel himselfe shall know: if by rebellion, or by transgression against ye Lord we haue done it, saue thou vs not this day.
23 Yoo nu Waaqayyo irraa deebiʼuuf jennee, aarsaa gubamuu fi kennaa midhaanii, yookaan aarsaa nagaa achi irratti dhiʼeessuuf iddoo aarsaa ofii keenyaa tolfannee jiraanne, Waaqayyo mataan isaa itti nu haa gaafatu.
If we haue built vs an altar to returne away from the Lord, either to offer thereon burnt offering, or meate offering, or to offer peace offerings thereon, let the Lord himselfe require it:
24 “Sababiin nu waan kana gooneef ijoolleen keessan gara fuula duraatti ijoollee keenyaan akkana jedhu taʼa jennee sodaannee ti; ‘Isin Waaqayyo Waaqa Israaʼel irraa maali qabdu?
And if we haue not rather done it for feare of this thing, saying, In time to come your children might say vnto our children, What haue ye to doe with the Lord God of Israel?
25 Waaqayyo nuu fi isin jechuunis isin gosa Ruubeenii fi gosa Gaad gidduu Yordaanos daarii godhee dhaabeera! Isin Waaqayyo irraa qooda tokko illee hin qabdan.’ Kanaafuu ijoolleen keessan akka ijoolleen keenya Waaqayyoon sodaachuu dhiisan godhu taʼa.
For the Lord hath made Iorden a border betweene vs and you, ye children of Reuben, and of Gad: therefore ye haue no part in the Lord: so shall your children make our children cease from fearing the Lord.
26 “Sababiin nu, ‘Kottaa qophoofnee iddoo aarsaa tokko tolfannaa; garuu iddoon aarsaa kun kan aarsaan gubamu yookaan qalmi irratti dhiʼeeffamuu miti’ jenneefis kanuma.
Therefore we said, We will nowe go about to make vs an altar, not for burnt offering, nor for sacrifice,
27 Karaa biraa immoo akka iddoon aarsaa kun akka nu aarsaa keenya kan gubamu, qalma keenyaa fi aarsaa nagaatiin iddoo qulqulluu isaatti Waaqayyoon waaqeffannuuf nu, isinii fi dhaloota dhufu gidduutti dhugaa baatuu taʼuuf. Kana booddee ijoolleen keessan ijoollee keenyaan, ‘Isin Waaqayyo irraa qooda tokko illee hin qabdan’ jechuu hin dandaʼan.
But it shall be a witnesse betweene vs and you, and betweene our generations after vs, to execute the seruice of the Lord before him in our burnt offerings, and in our sacrifices, and in our peace offerings, and that your children should not say to our children in time to come, Ye haue no part in the Lord.
28 “Nus akkana jenne; ‘Yoo isaan baroota dhufuuf jiran keessa nuun yookaan dhaloota keenyaan akkas jedhan, mee fakkii iddoo aarsaa Waaqayyoo kan abbootiin keenya aarsaa gubamu yookaan qalma irratti dhiʼeessuuf utuu hin taʼin akka inni nuu fi isin gidduutti dhuga baatuu taʼuuf tolchan kana ilaalaa jennaan.’
Therefore said we, If so be that they should so say to vs or to our generations in time to come, then will we answere, Beholde the facion of the altar of the Lord, which our fathers made, not for burnt offering nor for sacrifice, but it is a witnesse betweene vs and you.
29 “Iddoo aarsaa Waaqayyo Waaqa keenyaa kan dunkaana isaa qulqulluu dura dhaabatu sana malee harʼa iddoo aarsaa kan aarsaan gubamu, kennaan midhaaniitii fi qalmi irratti dhiʼeeffamu kan biraa tolchuudhaan Waaqayyotti fincillee isa irraa garagaluun nurraa haa fagaatu.”
God forbid, that we should rebell against the Lord, and turne this day away from the Lord to builde an altar for burnt offering, or for meate offering, or for sacrifice, saue the altar of the Lord our God, that is before his Tabernacle.
30 Fiinehaas lubichi, qajeelchitoonni sabaatii fi hangafoonni maatiiwwan Israaʼel yommuu waan gosti Ruubeen, gosti Gaadii fi gosti Minaasee jedhan dhagaʼanitti ni gammadan.
And when Phinehas the Priest, and the princes of the Congregation and heads ouer the thousands of Israel which were with him, heard the wordes, that the children of Reuben, and children of Gad, and the children of Manasseh spake, they were well content.
31 Fiinehaas ilmi Eleʼaazaar lubichaas ijoollee Ruubeeniin, ijoollee Gaadii fi ilmaan Minaaseetiin, “Nu harʼa sababii isin waan kana keessatti Waaqayyoof amanamummaa hin dhiisiniif akka Waaqayyo nu wajjin jiru beekneerra. Isin amma Israaʼeloota harka Waaqayyoo jalaa baaftaniirtu” jedhe.
And Phinehas the sonne of Eleazar the Priest said vnto the children of Reuben and to the children of Gad, and to the children of Manasseh, This day we perceiue, that the Lord is among vs, because ye haue not done this trespasse against the Lord: nowe ye haue deliuered the children of Israel out of the hand of the Lord.
32 Ergasiis Fiinehaas ilmi Eleʼaazaar lubichaa fi qajeelchitoonni sun ijoollee Ruubeenii fi ijoollee Gaad wajjin Giliʼaaditti wal gaʼii godhatanii gara Kanaʼaanitti deebiʼanii oduu achii fidan Israaʼelootatti himan.
Then Phinehas the sonne of Eleazar the Priest with the princes returned from the children of Reuben, and from the children of Gad, out of the land of Gilead, vnto the land of Canaan, to the children of Israel, and brought them answere.
33 Isaanis oduu kana dhagaʼanii gammadanii Waaqa galateeffatan. Lammatas itti deebiʼanii waaʼee isaanitti duuluu fi biyya gosti Ruubeenii fi gosti Gaad keessa jiraatu sana balleessuu hin dubbanne.
And the saying pleased the children of Israel: and the children of Israel blessed God, and minded not to goe against them in battell, for to destroy the land, wherein the children of Reuben, and Gad dwelt.
34 Gosti Ruubeenii fi gosti Gaadis maqaa kanaan iddoo aarsaa sana moggaasan: Iddoon Aarsaa kun akka Waaqayyo Waaqa taʼe Nu Gidduutti Dhugaa Baatuu dha.
Then the children of Reuben, and the children of Gad called the altar Ed: for it shall be a witnesse betweene vs, that the Lord is God.
