Iyyaasuu 24

1 Iyyaasuunis ergasii gosoota Israaʼel hunda Sheekemitti walitti qabe. Innis maanguddoota, hooggantoota, abbootii murtii fi qondaaltota Israaʼel walitti waame; isaanis fuula Waaqaa duratti dhiʼaatan.

And Josue gaderide alle the lynagis of Israel in to Sechem; and he clepide the grettere men in birthe, and the princes, and iugis, and maistris; and thei stoden in the siyt of the Lord.

2 Iyyaasuun saba hundaan akkana jedhe; “Waaqayyo Waaqni Israaʼel akkana jedha: ‘Abbootiin keessan bara durii, Taaraa abbaa Abrahaamii fi Naahoor dabalatanii Laga gama jiraatanii waaqota biraa waaqeffatan.

And he spak thus to the puple, The Lord God of Israel seith these thingis, Youre fadris dwelliden at the bigynnyng biyende the flood Eufrates, Thare, the fadir of Abraham, and Nachor, and thei serueden alien goddis.

3 Ani garuu abbaa keessan Abrahaam biyya Laga gamaatii fuudhee biyya Kanaʼaan keessa isa dabarsee sanyii baayʼee kenneef. Ani Yisihaaqin isaafan kenne;

Therfor Y took youre fadir Abraham fro the coostis of Mesopotanye, and Y brouyte hym in to the lond of Canaan; and Y multipliede `the seed of hym,

4 Yisihaaqiif immoo Yaaqoobii fi Esaawun kenne. Biyyaa gaaraa Seeʼiir Esaawufin kenne; Yaaqoobii fi ilmaan isaa garuu Gibxitti gad buʼan.

and Y yaf Isaac to hym; and eft Y yaf to Isaac, Jacob, and Esau, of whiche Y yaf to Esau the hil of Seir, to `haue in possessioun; forsothe Jacob and hise sones yeden doun in to Egipt.

5 “‘Anis Musee fi Aroon ergee waanan achitti hojjedheen namoota Gibxi dhaʼichaan dhaʼee achii isin baase.

And Y sente Moises and Aaron, and Y smoot Egipt with many signes and wondris,

6 Yeroo ani abbootii keessan biyya Gibxi keessaa baasetti, isin gara galaanaa dhuftan; warri Gibxi immoo gaariiwwan lolaatii fi warra fardeen yaabbataniin hamma Galaana Diimaatti isaan hordofan.

and Y ledde you and youre fadris out of Egipt. And ye camen to the see, and Egipcians pursueden youre fadris with charis, and multitude of knyytis, `til to the Reed See.

7 Isaan gargaarsa barbaaduuf Waaqayyotti iyyatan; innis isaanii fi warra Gibxi gidduu dukkana buuse; warra Gibxitti galaana fidee isaan ukkaamse. Isin waan ani warra Gibxi godhe ijuma keessaniin argitan. Ergasiis isin bara dheeraa gammoojjii keessa jiraattan.

Forsothe the sones of Israel crieden to the Lord, and he settide derknessis bitwixe you and Egipcians; and he brouyte the see on hem, and hilide hem. Youre iyen sien alle thingis, whiche Y dide in Egipt. And ye dwelliden in wildirnesse in myche tyme.

8 “‘Anis biyya Amoorota gama baʼa Yordaanos jiraachaa turan sanaatti isin nan fide. Isaanis isin lolan; ani garuu dabarsee harka keessanitti isaan kenne. Ani fuula keessan duraa isaan nan barbadeesse; isinis biyya isaanii qabattan.

And Y brouyte you in to the lond of Ammorrei, that dwellide biyende Jordan; and whanne thei fouyten ayens you, Y bitook hem in to youre hondis, and ye hadden in possessioun `the lond of hem, and ye killiden hem.

9 Baalaaq ilmi Ziphoori mootichi Moʼaab sun yeroo Israaʼelitti duuluuf qophaaʼetti akka inni isin abaaruuf Balaʼaam ilma Beʼooritti dhaamsa ergate.

Sotheli Balach, the sone of Sephor, the king of Moab, roos, and fauyt ayens Israel; and he sente, and clepide Balaam, the sone of Beor, that he schulde curse you.

10 Ani garuu Balaʼaamin hin dhaggeeffanne; kanaafuu inni irra deddeebiʼee isin eebbise; anis harka isaa keessaa isin nan baase.

And Y nolde here hym, but ayenward bi hym Y blesside you, and delyuerede you fro hise hondis.

11 “‘Isinis ergasii laga Yordaanos ceetanii Yerikoo dhuftan. Jiraattonni Yerikoos akkuma Amooronni, Feerzonni, Kanaʼaanonni, Heetonni, Girgaashonni, Hiiwonnii fi Yebuusonni godhan sana isin lolan; ani garuu dabarseen harka keessanitti isaan kenne.

And ye passiden Jordan, and camen to Jerico; and men of that citee fouyten ayens you, Ammorrei, and Feresei, and Cananei, Ethei, and Gergesei, and Euei, and Jebusei; and Y bitook hem in to youre hondis.

12 Ani sonsa isaanii fi mootota Amoorotaa lamaan fuula keessan duraa ariʼee baasu isin dura nan erge. Isin goraadee keessanii fi iddaa keessaniin isaan hin ariine.

And Y sente flies with venemouse tongis bifor you, and Y castide hem out of her places; Y kyllide twei kyngis of Ammorreis, not in thi swerd and bowe.

13 Ani akkasiin biyya isin itti hin dadhabinii fi magaalaa isin hin ijaarin isiniifan kenne; isinis isaan keessa jiraattanii iddoo dhaabaa wayiniitii fi muka ejersaa kan ofii keessanii hin dhaabin irraa nyaattan.’

And Y yaf to you the lond in which ye traueiliden not, and citees whiche ye bildiden not, that ye schulden dwelle in tho, and vyneris, and places of olyue trees, whiche ye plauntiden not.

14 “Egaa Waaqayyoon sodaadhaatii amanamummaa guutuudhaan isa tajaajilaa. Waaqota abbootiin keessan Laga gamaa fi biyya Gibxitti waaqeffatan sana gataatii Waaqayyoon tajaajilaa.

Now therfor drede ye the Lord, and serue ye hym with perfite herte and moost trewe; and do ye awei the goddis, to whiche youre fadris seruyden in Mesopotanye, and in Egipt; and serue ye the Lord.

15 Isin garuu yoo Waaqayyoon tajaajiluu hin barbaanne, waaqota abbootiin keessan Laga gamatti tajaajilaa turan sana yookaan waaqota Amoorotaa biyya isaanii keessa jiraattan kanneenii keessaa harʼa filadhaa. Anii fi manni koo garuu Waaqayyoon waaqeffanna.”

But if it semeth yuel to you, `that ye serue the Lord, chesyng is youun to you; chese ye to you to dai that, that plesith, whom ye owen most to serue; whether to goddis, whiche youre fadris serueden in Mesopotanye, whether to the goddis of Ammorreis, in whose lond ye dwellen; forsothe Y, and myn hows schulen serue the Lord.

16 Sabnis akkana jedhee deebiseef; “Waaqota biraa tajaajiluudhaaf jennee Waaqayyoon dhiisuun nurraa haa fagaatu!

And al the puple answeride and seide, Fer be it fro vs that we forsake the Lord, and serue alien goddis.

17 Kan biyya Gibxi, biyya garbummaa sana keessaa nuu fi abbootii keenya baasee waan mallattoowwan gurguddaa sana ija keenya duratti hojjete Waaqayyo Waaqa keenyaa dha. Inni karaa keenya hunda irrattii fi saboota nu gidduu isaanii tarre sana hunda gidduutti nu eege.

`Oure Lord God hym silf ledde vs and oure fadris out of the lond of Egipt, fro the hows of seruage, and dide grete signes in oure siyt; and he kepte vs in al the weie, bi which we yeden, and in alle puplis, bi whiche we passiden; and he castide out alle folkis,

18 Waaqayyo saboota hunda, Amoorota biyya sana keessa jiraachaa turanis fuula keenya duraa ariʼee baase. Sababii inni Waaqa keenya taʼeef nu Waaqayyoon tajaajilla.”

Ammorrei, the dwellere of the lond, in to which we entriden. Therfor we schulen serue the Lord, for he is `oure Lord God.

19 Iyyaasuunis sabaan akkana jedhe; “Isin Waaqayyoon tajaajiluu hin dandeessan. Inni Waaqa qulqulluu dha. Inni Waaqa hinaafuu dha. Inni fincila keessanii fi cubbuu keessan isinii hin dhiisu.

And Josue seide to the puple, Ye moun not serue the Lord; for God is hooli, and a strong feruent louyere, and he foryyueth not youre trespassis and synnes.

20 Yoo isin Waaqayyoon dhiiftanii waaqota ormaa tajaajiltan, inni erguma waan gaarii isinii godhee booddee garagalee balaa isinitti buusee isin balleessa.”

If ye forsaken the Lord, and seruen alien goddis, the Lord schal turne `hym silf, and schal turment you, and schal distrie, after that he hath youe goodis to you.

21 Namoonni garuu Iyyaasuudhaan, “Lakki! Nu Waaqayyoon tajaajilla” jedhan.

And the puple seide to Josue, It schal not be so, as thou spekist, but we schulen serue the Lord.

22 Iyyaasuunis deebisee, “Isin akka Waaqayyoon tajaajiluu filattan ofii keessanitti dhugaa baatota taataniirtu” jedheen. Isaanis deebisanii, “Eeyyee, nu dhugaa baatota” jedhan.

And Josue seide to the puple, Ye ben witnessis, that ye han chose the Lord to you, that ye serue him. And thei answeriden, We ben witnessis.

23 Kana irratti Iyyaasuun, “Yoos amma waaqota ormaa kanneen isin gidduu jiran sana baasaa gataatii garaa keessan Waaqayyo Waaqa Israaʼelitti kennaa” jedheen.

Therfor, he seide, Now do ye awei alien goddis fro the myddis of you, and bowe ye youre hertis to the Lord God of Israel.

24 Sabnis Iyyaasuudhaan, “Nu Waaqayyo Waaqa keenya tajaajilla; ni ajajamnaafis” jedhe.

And the puple seide to Josue, We schulen serue `oure Lord God, and we schulen be obedient to hise heestis.

25 Iyyaasuun guyyaa sana sabaaf kakuu galee Sheekemitti ajajaa fi seera baase.

Therfor Josue smoot a boond of pees in that dai, and settide forth to the puple comaundementis and domes in Sichen.

26 Innis waan kana Kitaaba Seera Waaqaa keessatti barreesse. Dhagaa guddaa tokkos fuudhee iddoo qulqulluu Waaqayyoo biratti qilxuu tokko jala dhaabe.

And he wroot alle these wordis in the book of Goddis lawe. And he took a greet stoon, and puttide it vndur an ook, that was in the seyntuarie of the Lord.

27 Inni nama hundaan akkana jedhe; “Kunoo! Dhagaan kun dhugaa nutti baʼaa. Inni dubbii Waaqayyo nutti dubbate hunda dhagaʼeera. Yoo isin Waaqa keessaniif hin amanamin dhagaan kun dhugaa isinitti baʼa.”

And he seide to al the puple, Lo! this stoon schal be to you in to witnessing, that ye herden alle the wordis of the Lord, whiche he spak to you, lest perauenture ye wolden denye aftirward, and lye to youre Lord God.

28 Kanaafuu Iyyaasuun tokkoo tokkoo namaa gara dhaala mataa mataa isaatti erge.

And he lefte the puple, ech man in to his possessioun.

29 Sana booddee Iyyaasuun ilmi Nuuni, garbichi Waaqayyoo sun, waggaa dhibba tokkoo fi kudhanitti duʼe.

And after these thingis Josue, the sone of Nun, the `seruaunt of the Lord, diede, an hundride yeer eld and ten.

30 Isaanis lafa dhaala isaa, Timnaat Seeraa kan biyya gaaraa Efreem keessatti karaa kaaba Tulluu Gaʼaashitti argamtu sanatti isa awwaalan.

And thei birieden hym in the costis of his possessioun, in Thannath of Sare, which is set in the hil of Effraym, fro the north part of the hil Gaas.

31 Sabni Israaʼel bara jireenya Iyyaasuu guutuu fi bara maanguddoota erga inni duʼee as hafanii jiraatanii waan Waaqayyo Israaʼeliif godhe hunda arganii keessa Waaqayyoon tajaajileera.

And Israel seruede the Lord in alle the daies of Josue, and of the eldre men, that lyueden in long tyme aftir Josue, and whiche eldre men knewen alle the werkis of the Lord, whiche he hadde do in Israel.

32 Lafeen Yoosef kan Israaʼeloonni biyya Gibxii baasanii fidanis Sheekemitti lafa Yaaqoob meetii dhibba tokkoon ilmaan Hamoor, abbaa Sheekem irraa bitee sanatti awwaalame. Lafti kunis dhaala sanyii Yoosef taʼe.

Also `the sones of Israel birieden the boonys of Joseph, whiche thei baren fro Egipt in Sichen, in the part of the feeld, which feeld Jacob bouyte of the sones of Emor, fadir of Sichen, for an hundrid yonge scheep; and it was in to possessioun of the sones of Joseph.

33 Eleʼaazaar ilmi Aroonis duʼee Gibeʼaa lafa biyya gaaraa Efreem kan ilma isaa Fiinehaasiif ixaadhaan kenname keessatti awwaalame.

Also Eliazar, sone of Aaron, preest, diede; and Fynees and hise sones biryden hym in Gabaa, which was youun to hym in the hil of Efraym.
