< Abbootii Murtii 2 >
1 Ergamaan Waaqayyoo Gilgaalii Bookiimitti ol baʼee akkana jedhe; “Ani Gibxii isin baasee biyya ani abbootii keessaniif kennuuf kakadhe sanatti isin fideera. Akkanas nan jedhe; ‘Ani kakuu isin wajjin gale sana gonkumaa hin diigu;
And a messenger of the Lord came up from Gilgal to Bochim, And he said, I caused you to go up out of Egypt, and I brought you unto the land which I had sworn unto your fathers; and I said, I will not break my covenant with you for ever.
2 isinis warra lafa kana irra jiraatan wajjin kakuu hin galinaa; iddoo aarsaa isaanii garuu caccabsaa.’ Taʼus isin naaf hin ajajamne. Isin maaliif waan kana gootan?
But ye for your part shall make no covenant with the inhabitants of this land; their altars shall ye throw down; but ye have not obeyed my voice: what is this ye have done?
3 Kanaafuu ani amma akka fuula keessan duraa ariʼee isaan hin baafne isinitti nan hima; isaan iddaa isinitti taʼu; waaqonni isaanii immoo kiyyoo isinitti taʼu.”
And I also have said, I will not drive them out from before you; but they shall be evil neighbors to you, and their gods shall become a snare unto you.
4 Yeroo ergamaan Waaqayyoo waan kana Israaʼeloota hundatti dubbatetti namoonni sagalee isaanii ol fudhatanii booʼan;
And it came to pass, when the messenger of the Lord spoke these words unto all the children of Israel, that the people lifted up their voice, and wept.
5 isaanis iddoo sana Bookiim jedhanii waaman. Achittis Waaqayyoof aarsaa dhiʼeessan.
And they called the name of that place, Bochim; and they sacrificed there unto the Lord.
6 Erga Iyyaasuun Israaʼeloota gad dhiisee booddee tokkoon tokkoon isaanii biyyattii dhaaluuf gara dhaala ofii isaanii deeman.
And when Joshua had let the people go, the children of Israel went every man unto his inheritance to take possession of the land.
7 Uummanni bara jireenya Iyyaasuu guutuu fi bara maanguddoota erga inni duʼee as hafanii jiraatanii waan guddaa Waaqayyo Israaʼeliif godhe argan sunis Waaqayyoon tajaajilan.
And the people served the Lord all the days of Joshua, and all the days of the elders that lived many days after Joshua, who had seen all the great deeds of the Lord, which he had done for Israel.
8 Iyyaasuun ilmi Nuuni garbichi Waaqayyoo waggaa dhibba tokkoo fi kudhanitti duʼe.
Then died Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of the Lord, being one hundred and ten years old.
9 Isaanis lafa dhaala isaa Timnaat Herees kan biyya gaaraa Efreemitti karaa kaaba Tulluu Gaʼaashitti argamtu sanatti isa awwaalan.
And they buried him on the border of his inheritance in Timnath-cheres, in the mountain of Ephraim, on the north side of mount Ga'ash.
10 Erga dhaloonni sun guutuun gara abbootii isaaniitti walitti qabamanii booddee dhaloonni Waaqayyoon hin beekin yookaan waan inni saba Israaʼeliif godhe hin beekin kan biraa kaʼe.
And also all that generation were gathered unto their fathers; and there arose another generation after them, who knew not the Lord, and likewise not the deeds which he had done for Israel.
11 Israaʼeloonnis fuula Waaqayyoo duratti waan hamaa hojjetan; Baʼaaliinis ni tajaajilan.
And the children of Israel did the evil in the eyes of the Lord, and served the Be'alim:
12 Isaan Waaqayyo Waaqa abbootii isaanii kan Gibxii isaan baase sana ni dhiisan. Waaqota adda addaa kanneen saboota naannoo isaanii jiraatanii duukaa buʼan; ni waaqeffatanis. Waaqayyonis dheekkamsaaf kakaasan;
And they forsook the Lord the God of their fathers, who had brought them out of the land of Egypt, and they went after other gods, of the gods of the nations that were round about them, and they bowed themselves unto them, and incensed the Lord.
13 isaan isa dhiisanii Baʼaalii fi Ashtooretin waaqeffataniiruutii.
And they forsook the Lord, and served Baal and 'Ashtaroth.
14 Waaqayyos Israaʼelootatti dheekkamee saamtota isaan saamanitti dabarsee isaan kenne. Diinota naannoo isaanii kanneen isaan of irraa ittisuu hin dandeenye hundatti isaan gurgure.
And the anger of the Lord was kindled against Israel, and he delivered them into the hand of spoilers who spoiled them, and he sold them into the hand of their enemies round about, and they were not able any longer to stand before their enemies.
15 Yommuu Israaʼeloonni lolaaf baʼanitti akkuma inni duraan kakate sanatti harki Waaqayyoo isaanitti hammaatee akka isaan moʼataman godha ture. Isaanis rakkina guddaa keessa buʼan.
Whithersoever they went out, the hand of the Lord was against them for evil, as the Lord had spoken, and as the Lord had sworn unto them: and they were greatly distressed.
16 Waaqayyos abbootii murtii kanneen saamtota jalaa isaan baasan isaaniif kaase.
And the Lord raised up judges, and they delivered them out of the hand of those that spoiled them.
17 Isaan garuu waaqota biraa wajjin sagaagalanii isaan waaqeffatan malee abbootii murtii sana hin dhaggeeffanne. Karaa abbootiin isaanii Waaqayyoof ajajamuudhaan irra deemaa turan sana irraa dafanii jalʼatan; isaan waan abbootiin isaanii godhan hin goone.
But also unto their judges they did not hearken; but they went astray after other gods, and bowed themselves unto them: they turned quickly out of the way which their fathers had walked in, to obey the commandments of the Lord; they did not so.
18 Waaqayyo yeroo abbaa murtii tokko isaanii kaasetti hamma abbaan murtii sun jirutti isa wajjin jiraatee harka diinota isaanii jalaa isaan baasa ture; Waaqayyo yeroo isaan sababii warra isaan cunqursanii fi warra isaan miidhaniitiin wawwaatanitti garaa laafaaf tureetii.
And when the Lord raised them up judges, then was the Lord with the judge, and he delivered them out of the hand of their enemies all the days of the judge; for the Lord bethought himself because of their groaning by reason of those that oppressed them and ill-treated them.
19 Yommuu abbaan murtii sun duʼu garuu isaan waaqota biraa duukaa buʼuudhaan, tajaajiluu fi isaan waaqeffachuudhaan abbootii isaanii iyyuu caalaa gara hamminaatti deebiʼan. Hojii hamminaatii fi mataa jabina isaanii irraas hin deebiʼan ture.
And it came to pass, when the judge died, that they returned, and became more corrupt than their fathers, in going after other gods to serve them, and to bow down unto them: they omitted nothing from their doings, and from their stubborn way.
20 Kanaafuu Waaqayyo Israaʼelitti akka malee dheekkamee akkana jedhe; “Waan sabni kun kakuu ani abbootii isaatiif gale sana cabsee anas dhagaʼuu dideef,
And the anger of the Lord was kindled against Israel; and he said, For the cause that this people have transgressed my covenant which I commanded their fathers, and have not hearkened unto my voice:
21 ani siʼachi saboota Iyyaasuun yeroo duʼetti isaan gidduutti dhiise sana isaan duraa ariʼee hin baasu.
So will I also for my part not drive out henceforth any man from before them out of the nations which Joshua left when he died;
22 Karaa saboota kanaatiinis akka isaan akkuma abbootii isaanii karaa Waaqayyoo eeganii irra deddeebiʼanii fi akka isaan hin eegne ilaaluuf jedhee Israaʼelin nan qora.”
In order to prove through them the Israelites, whether they will keep the way of the Lord, to walk therein, as their fathers did keep it, or not.
23 Kanaafuu Waaqayyo akka saboonni kunneen achumatti hafan eeyyame; harka Iyyaasuuttis dabarsee isaan kennuudhaan dafee achii isaan hin baafne.
And thus did the Lord leave these nations, so as not to drive them out speedily; and he delivered them not into the hand of Joshua.
