Iyyaasuu 1
1 Erga Museen garbichi Waaqayyoo sun duʼee booddee Waaqayyo akkana jedhee Iyyaasuu ilma Nuuni gargaaraa Musee sanatti dubbate:
Now after the death of Moses the servant of YHWH it came to pass, that YHWH spake unto Joshua the son of Nun, Moses' minister, saying,
2 “Garbichi koo Museen duʼeera. Egaa amma atii fi sabni kun hundinuu gara biyya ani isaaniif, Israaʼelootaaf kennuuf jiruutti galuuf Laga Yordaanos ceʼuuf qophaaʼaa.
Moses my servant is dead; now therefore arise, go over this Jordan, thou, and all this people, unto the land which I do give to them, even to the children of Israel.
3 Anis akkuma Museef waadaa gale sanatti iddoo miilli keessan gaʼe hunda isiniifan kenna.
Every place that the sole of your foot shall tread upon, that have I given unto you, as I said unto Moses.
4 Daangaan keessanis gammoojjiidhaa jalqabdee hamma Libaanoonitti, lagicha guddaa Efraaxiisii jalqabdee biyya Heetotaa hunda keessa baatee karaa dhiʼaatiin hamma Galaana Guddaatti balʼatti.
From the wilderness and this Lebanon even unto the great river, the river Euphrates, all the land of the Hittites, and unto the great sea toward the going down of the sun, shall be your coast.
5 Bara jireenya keetii guutuu namni si dura dhaabachuu dandaʼu tokko iyyuu hin jiru. Ani akkuman Musee wajjin ture sana si wajjinis nan taʼa; ani gonkumaa si hin gatu yookaan si hin dhiisu.
There shall not any man be able to stand before thee all the days of thy life: as I was with Moses, so I will be with thee: I will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.
6 Ati sababii akka isaan biyya ani abbootii isaaniitiif kennuuf kakadhe sana dhaalaniif saba kana hoogganuuf cimi; ija jabaadhus.
Be strong and of a good courage: for unto this people shalt thou divide for an inheritance the land, which I sware unto their fathers to give them.
7 “Cimi; ija jabaadhus. Seera garbichi koo Museen siif kenne hundumaaf of eeggannaadhaan ajajami; akka gara deemtu hundumatti siif milkaaʼuufis mirgatti yookaan bitaatti hin gorin.
Only be thou strong and very courageous, that thou mayest observe to do according to all the law, which Moses my servant commanded thee: turn not from it to the right hand or to the left, that thou mayest prosper whithersoever thou goest.
8 Kitaabni Seeraa kun afaan keetii hin buʼin. Waan isa keessatti barreeffame hunda gochuuf akka of eeggattuufis halkanii guyyaa itti yaadi. Akkasiinis ati ni badhaata; ni milkooftas.
This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.
9 Ani akkana jedhee si hin ajajnee? Cimi; ija jabaadhus. Waan Waaqayyo Waaqni kee iddoo ati deemtu hundumatti si wajjin taʼuuf, hin sodaatin; abdiis hin kutatin.”
Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for YHWH thy Elohim is with thee whithersoever thou goest.
10 Kanaafuu Iyyaasuun akkana jedhee qondaaltota sabaa ajaje:
Then Joshua commanded the officers of the people, saying,
11 “Qubata keessa dedeemaatii namootaan, ‘Galaa keessan qopheeffadhaa. Isin biyya Waaqayyo Waaqni keessan isinii kennuuf jiru sana dhaala ofii keessanii gootanii fudhachuuf bultii sadii keessatti Yordaanos ni ceetu.’”
Pass through the host, and command the people, saying, Prepare you victuals; for within three days ye shall pass over this Jordan, to go in to possess the land, which YHWH your Elohim giveth you to possess it.
12 Iyyaasuun garuu gosa Ruubeeniin, gosa Gaadiitii fi walakkaa gosa Minaaseetiin akkana jedhe:
And to the Reubenites, and to the Gadites, and to half the tribe of Manasseh, spake Joshua, saying,
13 “Ajaja garbichi Waaqayyo Museen isinii kenne sana yaadadhaa; ‘Waaqayyo Waaqni keessan boqonnaa isinii kenna; biyya kanas isinii kenneera.’
Remember the word which Moses the servant of YHWH commanded you, saying, YHWH your Elohim hath given you rest, and hath given you this land.
14 Niitonni keessan, ijoolleen keessanii fi horiin keessan biyya Museen gama baʼa Yordaanos isinii kenne keessa haa turan; garuu namoonni keessan warri lolaaf qophaaʼan hundi obboloota keessan dura gamatti haa ceʼan. Isin obboloota keessan gargaaruu qabdu;
Your wives, your little ones, and your cattle, shall remain in the land which Moses gave you on this side Jordan; but ye shall pass before your brethren armed, all the mighty men of valour, and help them;
15 hamma Waaqayyo akkuma isinii godhe sana isaaniifis boqonnaa kennee isaanis biyya Waaqayyo Waaqni keessan isaanii kennu dhaalanitti isaan gargaaruu qabdu. Ergasii deebitanii biyya keessan kan Museen garbichi Waaqayyo sun gama baʼa Yordaanositti karaa baʼa biiftuu isinii kenne sana ni dhaaltu.”
Until YHWH have given your brethren rest, as he hath given you, and they also have possessed the land which YHWH your Elohim giveth them: then ye shall return unto the land of your possession, and enjoy it, which Moses YHWH 's servant gave you on this side Jordan toward the sunrising.
16 Isaanis akkana jedhanii Iyyaasuuf deebii kennan; “Nu waan ati nu ajajje kam iyyuu ni hojjenna; gara ati nu ergitu kam iyyuus ni deemna.
And they answered Joshua, saying, All that thou commandest us we will do, and whithersoever thou sendest us, we will go.
17 Nu akkuma Museedhaaf guutumaan guutuutti ajajamne sana siifis akkasuma ni ajajamna. Waaqayyo Waaqni kee garuu akkuma Musee wajjin ture sana si wajjinis haa taʼu.
According as we hearkened unto Moses in all things, so will we hearken unto thee: only YHWH thy Elohim be with thee, as he was with Moses.
18 Namni ajaja keetti finciluu fi dubbii ati karaa kamiin iyyuu isa ajajjeef hin ajajamne hundi haa ajjeefamu. Ati qofti cimi; ija jabaadhus!”
Whosoever he be that doth rebel against thy commandment, and will not hearken unto thy words in all that thou commandest him, he shall be put to death: only be strong and of a good courage.
