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;
The angel of Yahweh went up from Gilgal to Bokim, and said, “I brought you up from Egypt, and have brought you to the land I swore to give to your fathers. I said, 'I will never break my covenant with you.
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?
You must make no covenant with those who live in this land. You must tear down their altars.' But you have not listened to my voice. What is this that you 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.”
So now I say, 'I will not drive the Canaanites out before you, but they will become thorns in your sides, and their gods will become a trap for you.'”
4 Yeroo ergamaan Waaqayyoo waan kana Israaʼeloota hundatti dubbatetti namoonni sagalee isaanii ol fudhatanii booʼan;
When the angel of Yahweh spoke these words to all the people of Israel, the people shouted and wept.
5 isaanis iddoo sana Bookiim jedhanii waaman. Achittis Waaqayyoof aarsaa dhiʼeessan.
They called that place Bokim. There they offered sacrifices to Yahweh.
6 Erga Iyyaasuun Israaʼeloota gad dhiisee booddee tokkoon tokkoon isaanii biyyattii dhaaluuf gara dhaala ofii isaanii deeman.
Now when Joshua had sent the people on their way, the people of Israel each went to the place assigned, to take ownership of their 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.
The people served Yahweh during the lifetime of Joshua and of the elders who outlived him, those who had seen all of Yahweh's great deeds he had done for Israel.
8 Iyyaasuun ilmi Nuuni garbichi Waaqayyoo waggaa dhibba tokkoo fi kudhanitti duʼe.
Joshua son of Nun the servant of Yahweh, died at the age of 110 years old.
9 Isaanis lafa dhaala isaa Timnaat Herees kan biyya gaaraa Efreemitti karaa kaaba Tulluu Gaʼaashitti argamtu sanatti isa awwaalan.
They buried him within the border of the land he was assigned in Timnath Heres, in the hill country of Ephraim, north of Mount Gaash.
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.
All that generation was also gathered to their fathers. Another generation grew up after them who did not know Yahweh or what he had done for Israel.
11 Israaʼeloonnis fuula Waaqayyoo duratti waan hamaa hojjetan; Baʼaaliinis ni tajaajilan.
The people of Israel did what was evil in the sight of Yahweh and they served the Baals.
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;
They broke away from Yahweh, the God of their fathers, who had brought them out of the land of Egypt. They went after other gods, the very gods of the peoples who were around them, and they bowed down to them. They provoked Yahweh to anger because
13 isaan isa dhiisanii Baʼaalii fi Ashtooretin waaqeffataniiruutii.
they broke away from Yahweh and worshiped Baal and the Ashtoreths.
14 Waaqayyos Israaʼelootatti dheekkamee saamtota isaan saamanitti dabarsee isaan kenne. Diinota naannoo isaanii kanneen isaan of irraa ittisuu hin dandeenye hundatti isaan gurgure.
The anger of Yahweh burned against Israel, and he gave them to the raiders who stole their possessions from them. He sold them as slaves who were held by the strength of their enemies around them, so they could no longer defend themselves against 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.
Wherever Israel went out to fight, Yahweh's hand was against them to defeat them, just as he had sworn to them and they were in terrible distress.
16 Waaqayyos abbootii murtii kanneen saamtota jalaa isaan baasan isaaniif kaase.
Then Yahweh raised up judges, who saved them out of the hand of those who were stealing their possessions.
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.
Yet they would not listen to their judges. They were unfaithful to Yahweh and gave themselves like prostitutes to other gods and worshiped them. They soon turned aside from the way their fathers had lived—those who had obeyed the commandments of Yahweh—but they themselves did not do 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.
When Yahweh raised up judges for them, Yahweh helped the judges and rescued them from the hand of their enemies all the days the judge lived. Yahweh had pity on them as they groaned because of those who oppressed them and afflicted 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.
But when the judge died, they would turn away and do things that were even more corrupt than their fathers had done. They would go after other gods to serve them and worship them. They refused to give up any of their evil practices or their stubborn ways.
20 Kanaafuu Waaqayyo Israaʼelitti akka malee dheekkamee akkana jedhe; “Waan sabni kun kakuu ani abbootii isaatiif gale sana cabsee anas dhagaʼuu dideef,
The anger of Yahweh burned against Israel; he said, “Because this nation has broken the terms of my covenant that I had set in place for their fathers—because they have not listened to my voice—
21 ani siʼachi saboota Iyyaasuun yeroo duʼetti isaan gidduutti dhiise sana isaan duraa ariʼee hin baasu.
I will not, from now on, drive out from before them any of the nations that 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.”
I will do this so that I may test Israel, whether or not they will keep the way of Yahweh and walk in it, as their fathers kept it.”
23 Kanaafuu Waaqayyo akka saboonni kunneen achumatti hafan eeyyame; harka Iyyaasuuttis dabarsee isaan kennuudhaan dafee achii isaan hin baafne.
That is why Yahweh left those nations and did not drive them out quickly and give them into the hand of Joshua.
