Iyyaasuu 23

1 Erga barri dheeraan darbee Waaqayyos diinota isaan marsan hunda irraa Israaʼeloota boqochiisee booddee Iyyaasuun bara dheeraa jiraatee dulloome;

And it comes to pass, many days after that YHWH has given rest to Israel from all their surrounding enemies, that Joshua is old, entering into days,

2 innis Israaʼeloota hunda jechuunis maanguddoota isaanii, hooggantoota isaanii, abbootii murtii isaaniitii fi qondaaltota isaanii ofitti waamee akkana jedheen: “Kunoo ani bara dheeraa jiraadhee dulloomeera.

and Joshua calls for all Israel, for his elderly, and for his heads, and for his judges, and for his authorities, and says to them, “I have become old; I have entered into days;

3 Isin mataan keessanuu waan Waaqayyo Waaqni keessan isiniif jedhee saboota kana godhe hundumaa argitaniirtu; Waaqayyo Waaqa keessantu isiniif lole.

and you have seen all that your God YHWH has done to all these nations because of you, for your God YHWH [is] He who is fighting for you;

4 Akka ani itti biyya saboota hafanii jechuunis biyya saboota ani Yordaanosii jalqabee hamma lixa Galaana Guddichaatti moʼadhe sanaa hunda gosoota keessaniif dhaala godhee kenne mee yaadadhaa.

see, I have caused these nations who are left to fall to you for an inheritance to your tribes, from the Jordan (and all the nations which I cut off), and the Great Sea [at] the [setting] sun.

5 Waaqayyo Waaqni keessan mataan isaa iyyuu fuula keessan duraa ariʼee isaan baasa. Inni fuula keessan duraa dhiibee isaan baasa; isin immoo akkuma Waaqayyo Waaqni keessan isin abdachiise sanatti biyya isaanii qabattu.

As for your God YHWH, He thrusts them from your presence, and has dispossessed them from before you, and you have possessed their land, as your God YHWH has spoken to you,

6 “Jabaadhaa dhaabadhaa; akka waan Kitaaba Seera Musee keessatti barreeffame hunda, utuu gara mirgaatti yookaan bitaatti hin jalʼatin jabeessaa eegaa.

and you have been very strong to keep and to do the whole that is written in the Scroll of the Law of Moses, so as not to turn aside from it right or left,

7 Saboota gidduu keessanitti hafan kanneenitti hin makaminaa; maqaa waaqota isaanii hin dhaʼinaa yookaan ittiin hin kakatinaa. Waaqota sana hin tajaajilinaa yookaan isaaniif hin sagadinaa.

so as not to go in among these nations, these who are left with you; and you do not make mention of the name of their gods, nor do you swear, nor do you serve them, nor do you bow yourselves to them;

8 Garuu akkuma hamma harʼaatti gochaa turtan sana jabaadhaa Waaqayyo Waaqa keessanitti maxxanaa.

but you cleave to your God YHWH, as you have done until this day.

9 “Waaqayyo saboota gurguddaa fi humna qabeeyyii fuula keessan duraa ariʼee baaseera; hamma ammaatti namni tokko iyyuu isin dura dhaabachuu hin dandeenye.

And YHWH is dispossessing great and mighty nations from before you; as for you, none has stood in your presence until this day;

10 Sababii Waaqayyo Waaqni keessan akkuma waadaa gale sana isinii loluuf namni keessan tokkichi nama kuma tokko ariʼa.

one man of you pursues a thousand, for your God YHWH [is] He who is fighting for you, as He has spoken to you;

11 Kanaafuu Waaqayyo Waaqa keessan cimsaa jaalladhaa.

and you have been very watchful for yourselves to love your God YHWH.

12 “Garuu yoo isin karaa irraa jalʼattanii hambaa saboota gidduu keessan jiraatan kanneeniitti maxxantan, yoo isin isaaniin walfuutanii isaanitti makamtan,

But—if you turn back at all and have cleaved to the remnant of these nations, these who are left with you, and intermarried with them, and gone in to them, and they to you,

13 akka Waaqayyo Waaqni keessan siʼachi saboota kanneen isin duraa ariʼee hin baafne beekkadhaa. Qooda kanaa isaan hamma isin biyya gaarii Waaqayyo Waaqni keessan isiniif kenne kana keessaa dhumtanitti iddaa fi kiyyoo isinitti taʼu; dugda keessanitti qaccee, ija keessanittis qoraattii taʼu.

certainly know that your God YHWH is not continuing to dispossess these nations from before you, and they have been to you for a trap, and for a snare, and for a scourge, in your sides, and for thorns in your eyes, until you perish from off this good ground which your God YHWH has given to you.

14 “Kunoo ani karaa lafa hundaa deemuufin jira. Akka waadaa gaarii Waaqayyo Waaqni keessan isiniif gale hunda keessaa tokko iyyuu utuu hin guutamin hafee hin jirre isin garaa keessan guutuu fi lubbuu keessan guutuudhaan ni beektu. Waadaan hundi guutameera; tokko iyyuu hin hirʼanne.

And behold, I am going, today, in the way of all the earth, and you have known—with all your heart, and with all your soul—that there has not fallen one thing of all the good things which your God YHWH has spoken concerning you; the whole have come to you; there has not failed of it one thing.

15 Garuu akkuma waadaan gaariin Waaqayyo Waaqa keessanii hundi guutame sana, Waaqayyo akkasuma waan hamaa ittiin isin sodaachise sana hunda hamma biyya gaarii isinii kenne kana irraa isin fixutti isinitti fida.

And it has been, as there has come on you all the good thing which your God YHWH has spoken to you, so YHWH brings on you the whole of the evil thing, until His destroying you from off this good ground which your God YHWH has given to you;

16 Yoo isin kakuu Waaqayyo Waaqni keessan isin ajaje cabsitanii dhaqxanii waaqota biraa tajaajiltanii fi isaaniif sagaddan dheekkamsi Waaqayyoo isinitti bobaʼa; isinis biyya gaarii inni isinii kenne sana irraa daftanii ni baddu.”

in your transgressing the covenant of your God YHWH which He commanded you, and you have gone and served other gods, and bowed yourselves to them, then the anger of YHWH has burned against you, and you have perished quickly from off the good land which He has given to you.”
