Iyyaasuu 22
1 Ergasii Iyyaasuun gosa Ruubeen, gosa Gaadii fi walakkaa gosa Minaasee walitti waamee
Then Joshua calls for the Reubenite, and for the Gadite, and for the half-tribe of Manasseh,
2 akkana jedheen; “Isin waan Museen garbichi Waaqayyoo ajaje hundumaa hojjettaniirtu; waan ani isin ajaje hundas naa ajajamtaniirtu.
and says to them, “You have kept the whole of that which Moses, servant of YHWH, commanded you, and you listen to my voice, to all that I have commanded you;
3 Isin bara dheeraaf, hamma harʼaatti illee obboloota keessan hin daganne; ajaja Waaqayyo Waaqni keessan isinii kennes eegdaniirtu.
you have not left your brothers these many days to this day, and have kept the charge—the command of your God YHWH.
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 now, your God YHWH has given rest to your brothers, as He spoke to them; and now, turn, and go for yourselves to your tents, to the land of your possession, which Moses, servant of YHWH, has given to you beyond the Jordan.
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.”
Only, be very watchful to do the command and the Law which Moses, servant of YHWH, commanded you, to love your God YHWH, and to walk in all His ways, and to keep His commands, and to cleave to Him, and to serve Him, with all your heart, and with all your soul.”
6 Ergasiis Iyyaasuun eebbisee gad isaan dhiise; isaanis gara mana isaaniitti deebiʼan.
And Joshua blesses them, and sends them away, and they go to 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;
And to the half-tribe of Manasseh Moses has given, in Bashan, and to its [other] half Joshua has given with their brothers beyond the Jordan westward; and also when Joshua has sent them away to their tents, then he blesses 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.”
and speaks to them, saying, “Turn back to your tents with great riches, and with very much livestock, with silver, and with gold, and with bronze, and with iron, and with very much raiment; divide the spoil of your enemies with your brothers.”
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.
And the sons of Reuben, and the sons of Gad, and the half-tribe of Manasseh, turn back and go from the sons of Israel out of Shiloh, which [is] in the land of Canaan, to go to the land of Gilead, to the land of their possession, in which they have possession, according to the command of YHWH, 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 they come to the districts of the Jordan, which [are] in the land of Canaan, and the sons of Reuben, and the sons of Gad, and the half-tribe of Manasseh, build an altar there by the Jordan—a great altar in appearance.
11 Israaʼeloonni yommuu akka isaan gama Israaʼelootaatiin daarii Kanaʼaan irratti Galiilooti ishee Yordaanos cinaa sanatti iddoo aarsaa tolchan dhagaʼanitti,
And the sons of Israel hear, saying, “Behold, the sons of Reuben, and the sons of Gad, and the half-tribe of Manasseh, have built the altar at the frontier of the land of Canaan, in the districts of the Jordan, at the passage of the sons of Israel.”
12 guutummaan waldaa Israaʼel isaanitti duuluuf Shiilootti walitti qabaman.
And the sons of Israel hear, and all the congregation of the sons of Israel is assembled at Shiloh, to go up against them to war;
13 Kanaafuu Israaʼeloonni Fiinehaas ilma Eleʼaazaar lubichaa sana gara gosa Ruubeen, gosa Gaadii fi gara walakkaa gosa Minaasee warra Giliʼaad keessa jiraatanitti ergan.
and the sons of Israel send to the sons of Reuben, and to the sons of Gad, and to the half-tribe of Manasseh—to the land of Gilead—Phinehas son of Eleazar the priest,
14 Isa wajjinis hangafoota kudhan, tokkoo tokkoo gosa Israaʼeliif nama tokko ergan; tokkoon tokkoon isaaniis hangafa balbala maatii Israaʼel.
and ten princes with him, one prince—one prince for a house of a father, for all the tribes of Israel, and each of them a head of a house of their fathers, for the thousands of Israel.
15 Isaanis Giliʼaaditti gosa Ruubeen, gosa Gaadii fi walakkaa gosa Minaasee bira dhufanii akkana isaaniin jedhan:
And they come to the sons of Reuben, and to the sons of Gad, and to the half-tribe of Manasseh, to the land of Gilead, and speak 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 said all the congregation of YHWH: What [is] this trespass which you have trespassed against the God of Israel, to turn back today from after YHWH, by your building an altar for yourselves, for your rebelling today against YHWH?
17 Cubbuun Pheʼoor keessatti hojjetame sun nu hin gaʼuu? Dhaʼichi saba Waaqayyoo irra buʼu iyyuu, nu hamma harʼaatti cubbuu sana irraa of hin qulqulleessine.
Is the iniquity of Peor little to us, from which we have not been cleansed until this day—and the plague is in the congregation of YHWH,
18 Isin ammas Waaqayyo irraa garagaluu keessanii? “‘Yoo isin harʼa Waaqayyotti finciltan inni immoo bori hawaasa Israaʼel hundatti ni dheekkama.
that you turn back today from after YHWH? And it has been [that] you rebel against YHWH today, and tomorrow He is angry against 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.
And surely, if the land of your possession is unclean, pass over for yourselves to the land of the possession of YHWH, where the Dwelling Place of YHWH has dwelt, and have possession in our midst; and do not rebel against YHWH, and do not rebel against us, by your building an altar for yourselves, besides the altar of our God YHWH.
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 Achan son of Zerah not commit a trespass in the devoted thing, and there was wrath on all the congregation of Israel? And he alone did not expire in his iniquity.”
21 Kana irratti gosti Ruubeen, gosti Gaadii fi walakkaan gosa Minaasee akkana jedhanii hangafoota maatiiwwan Israaʼeliif deebisan;
And the sons of Reuben, and the sons of Gad, and the half-tribe of Manasseh, answer and speak with the heads of 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 God of gods—YHWH, the God of gods—YHWH, He is knowing, and Israel—he knows, if [we are] in rebellion, and if in trespass against YHWH, do not save us 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] are building an altar for ourselves to turn back from after YHWH, and if to cause burnt-offering and present to go up on it, and if to make peace-offerings on it—YHWH Himself requires [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 nevertheless, we have done it from fear of [this] thing, saying, Hereafter your sons speak to our sons, saying, And what have you to [do with] YHWH 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 YHWH has put a border between us and you, O sons of Reuben, and sons of Gad—Jordan; you have no portion in YHWH—and your sons have caused our sons to cease, not to fear YHWH.
26 “Sababiin nu, ‘Kottaa qophoofnee iddoo aarsaa tokko tolfannaa; garuu iddoon aarsaa kun kan aarsaan gubamu yookaan qalmi irratti dhiʼeeffamuu miti’ jenneefis kanuma.
And we say, Now let us prepare to build the altar for ourselves—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 [is] a witness between us and you, and between our generations after us, to do the service of YHWH before Him with our burnt-offerings, and with our sacrifices, and with our peace-offerings, and your sons do not say hereafter to our sons, You have no portion in YHWH.
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.’
And we say, And it has been, when they say [so] to us, and to our generations hereafter, that we have said, See the pattern of the altar of YHWH, which our fathers made—not for burnt-offering nor for sacrifice—but it [is] a witness between us 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.”
Far be it from us to rebel against YHWH, and to turn back from after YHWH today, to build an altar for burnt-offering, for present, and for sacrifice, apart from the altar of our God YHWH, which [is] before His Dwelling Place.”
30 Fiinehaas lubichi, qajeelchitoonni sabaatii fi hangafoonni maatiiwwan Israaʼel yommuu waan gosti Ruubeen, gosti Gaadii fi gosti Minaasee jedhan dhagaʼanitti ni gammadan.
And Phinehas the priest, and the princes of the congregation, and the heads of the thousands of Israel, who [are] with him, hear the words which the sons of Reuben, and the sons of Gad, and the sons of Manasseh have spoken, and it is good in their eyes.
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 son of Eleazar the priest says to the sons of Reuben, and to the sons of Gad, and to the sons of Manasseh, “Today we have known that YHWH [is] in our midst, because you have not committed this trespass against YHWH—then you have delivered the sons of Israel out of the hand of YHWH.”
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.
And Phinehas son of Eleazar the priest, and the princes, turn back from the sons of Reuben, and from the sons of Gad, out of the land of Gilead, to the land of Canaan, to the sons of Israel, and bring them back word;
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 thing is good in the eyes of the sons of Israel, and the sons of Israel bless God, and have not spoken to go up against them to war, to destroy the land which the sons of Reuben, and the sons of Gad, are dwelling in.
34 Gosti Ruubeenii fi gosti Gaadis maqaa kanaan iddoo aarsaa sana moggaasan: Iddoon Aarsaa kun akka Waaqayyo Waaqa taʼe Nu Gidduutti Dhugaa Baatuu dha.
And the sons of Reuben and the sons of Gad proclaim concerning the altar, that, “[It is] a witness between us that YHWH [is] God.”
