Lewwota 19
1 Waaqayyo Museedhaan akkana jedhe;
And the Lord spoke unto Moses, saying,
2 “Akkana jedhii waldaa saba Israaʼel hundatti himi; ‘Ani Waaqayyo Waaqni keessan qulqulluudhaatii isinis qulqulloota taʼaa.
Speak unto all the congregation of the children of Israel, and say unto them, Ye shall be holy; for I the Eternal your God am holy.
3 “‘Tokkoon tokkoon keessan haadha keessanii fi abbaa keessaniif ulfina kennaa; Sanbatoota koos eegaa. Ani Waaqayyo Waaqa keessan.
Ye shall fear, every man, his mother and his father, and my sabbaths shall ye keep: I am the Lord your God.
4 “‘Gara waaqota tolfamootti hin deebiʼinaa yookaan sibiila baqfame irraa ofii keessaniif waaqota hin tolfatinaa. Ani Waaqayyo Waaqa keessan.
Ye shall not turn unto the idols, and molten gods shall ye not make to yourselves: I am the Lord your God.
5 “‘Yommuu aarsaa nagaa Waaqayyoof dhiʼeessitanitti akka aarsaan keessan fudhatama isiniif argatu godhaatii dhiʼeessaa.
And if ye offer a sacrifice of peace-offering unto the Lord, ye shall offer it so that it may be favorably received from you.
6 Aarsaan isin dhiʼeessitanis guyyuma sana yookaan guyyaa itti aanu haa nyaatamu; garuu wanni hafee hamma guyyaa sadaffaatti ture haa gubamu.
On the same day ye offer it shall it be eaten, and on the morrow: and whatever is left until the third day, shall be burnt with fire.
7 Waan kana keessaa tokko iyyuu yoo guyyaa sadaffaatti nyaatame xuraaʼaa dha; fudhatamas hin argatu.
And if the intention was that it should be eaten on the third day, it is an abomination, it shall not be favorably received.
8 Namni waan sana nyaatu sababii waan Waaqayyoon qulqulleeffame xureesseef itti gaafatama; namichi sun saba isaa keessaa haa balleeffamu.
And whoever eateth it shall bear his iniquity; because he hath profaned the hallowed thing of the Lord: and that soul shall be cut off from among his people.
9 “‘Yommuu oomisha lafa keessanii walitti qabattanitti hamma daariitti hin haaminaa; qarmii isaa illee hin funaannatinaa.
And when ye reap the harvest of your land, thou shalt not wholly reap the corners of thy field, neither shalt thou gather up the gleanings of thy harvest.
10 Qarmii iddoo dhaabaa wayinii keetii hin funaanin yookaan ija wayinii keetii kan harcaʼe hin funaanin. Hiyyeeyyii fi alagootaaf dhiisaa. Ani Waaqayyo Waaqa keessan.
And thou shalt not glean thy vineyard, and the single grapes that drop in thy vineyard shalt thou not gather up; for the poor and the stranger shalt thou leave them: I am the Lord your God.
11 “‘Hin hatinaa. “‘Hin sobinaa. “‘Walis hin gowwoomsinaa.
Ye shall not steal; neither shall ye deny [another's property in your hands], nor lie one to another.
12 “‘Sobaan maqaa kootiin hin kakatinaa; akkasiinis maqaa Waaqa keessanii hin xureessinaa. Ani Waaqayyo.
And ye shall not swear by my name falsely, and thou shalt not thus profane the name of thy God: I am the Lord.
13 “‘Ollaa kee gowwoomsitee waa irraa hin fudhatin yookaan hin saamin. “‘Mindaa nama qaxarame tokkoo hamma bariʼutti of bira hin bulchin.
Thou shalt not withhold any thing from thy neighbor, nor rob him: there shall not abide with thee the wages of him that is hired, through the night until morning.
14 “‘Nama gurra duudaa hin abaarin yookaan nama jaamaa dura gufuu hin kaaʼin; garuu Waaqa kee sodaadhu. Ani Waaqayyo.
Thou shalt not curse the deaf, nor put a stumbling-block before the blind; but thou shalt be afraid of thy God: I am the Lord.
15 “‘Murtii hin jalʼisinaa; nama wal caalchisuudhaan gara hiyyeessaa hin gorinaa; nama guddaafis hin looginaa; ollaa keetiif garuu murtii qajeelaa kenni.
Ye shall do no unrighteousness in judgment; thou shalt not respect the person of the poor, nor honor the person of the great; in righteousness shalt thou judge thy neighbor.
16 “‘Saba kee gidduutti hamii hin facaasin. “‘Waan jireenya ollaa keetii balaa irra buusu hin hojjetin. Ani Waaqayyo.
Thou shalt not go up and down as a talebearer among thy people; thou shalt not stand [idly] by the blood of thy neighbor: I am the Lord.
17 “‘Garaa keetti obboleessa kee hin jibbin; akka cubbuu isaa keessatti qooda hin qabaanneef ollaa kee ifaan ifatti itti dheekkami.
Thou shalt not hate thy brother in thy heart: thou shalt indeed rebuke thy neighbor, and not bear sin on account of him.
18 “‘Saba kee keessaa nama tokkotti iyyuu haaloo hin baʼin yookaan haaloo itti hin qabatin; ollaa kee garuu akkuma ofii keetiitti jaalladhu. Ani Waaqayyo.
Thou shalt not avenge, nor bear any grudge against the children of thy people; but thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself: I am the Lord.
19 “‘Sirna koo eegaa. “‘Horii gosa gosaa walitti hin diqaalomsinaa. “‘Midhaan gosa lama lafa qotiisaa keessanitti hin facaasinaa. “‘Wayyaa waan lama irraa hojjetame hin uffatinaa.
My statutes shall ye keep; thy cattle shalt thou not let gender with a diverse kind; thy field shalt thou not sow with mingled seeds; and a garment of mingled kinds, of linen and woollen, shall not come upon thee.
20 “‘Namni garbittii nama biraaf kaadhimamte kan hin furamin yookaan bilisummaan ishee hin kennaminiif wajjin yoo wal bira gaʼe isaan adabamuu qabu; taʼus waan dubartiin sun hin bilisoominiif isaan hin ajjeefamin.
And if a man lie carnally with a woman, that is a bond-maid, betrothed to a man, but who hath neither been redeemed, nor hath her freedom been given her: there shall a scourging be decreed; they shall not be put to death, because she was not free.
21 Namichi sun garuu korbeessa hoolaa tokko aarsaa yakkaatiif gara balbala dunkaana wal gaʼiitti Waaqayyoof haa fidu.
And he shall bring his trespass-offering unto the Lord, unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation: a ram for a trespass-offering.
22 Lubichis korbeessa hoolaa aarsaa yakkaa sanaan cubbuu namichi hojjete sanaaf fuula Waaqayyoo duratti araara haa buusu; cubbuun namichaas ni dhiifamaaf.
And the priest shall make an atonement for him with the ram of the trespass-offering before the Lord for his sin which he hath done; and he shall be forgiven for his sin which he hath committed.
23 “‘Isin yommuu biyyattiitti galtanii muka ija kennu kan gosa hundaa dhaabdanitti, akka waan iji isaa dhowwameetti fudhadhaa. Isin akka waan iji sun hamma waggaa sadiitti dhowwameetti ilaalaa; iji sun hin nyaatamin.
And when ye come into the land, and plant any kind of tree bearing edible fruit, then shall ye count the fruit thereof as uncircumcised: three years shall it be as uncircumcised unto you, it shall not be eaten.
24 Waggaa afuraffaatti immoo iji isaa hundinuu ni qulqullaaʼa; Waaqayyoofis aarsaa galataa taʼa.
But in the fourth year shall all its fruit be holy for praise-giving unto the Lord.
25 Waggaa shanaffaatti garuu ija isaa nyaachuu dandeessu. Haala kanaan oomishni keessan ni guddata. Ani Waaqayyo Waaqa keessan.
And in the fifth year shall ye eat of its fruit, in order that it may increase unto you its productiveness: I am the Lord your God.

And for the dead shall ye not make any incision in your flesh; and any etched-in writing shall you not fix on yourselves: I am the Lord.
29 “‘Akka lafti halalummaatti deebitee hamminaan hin guutamneef intala kee akka isheen ejjitu gochuudhaan ishee hin salphisin.

And if a stranger sojourn with thee, in your land, ye shall not vex him.
34 Alagaan isin gidduu jiraatu sun akka dhalataa biyya keessaniitti haa ilaalamu. Akka ofii keessaniitti isa jaalladhaa; isinis biyya Gibxitti alagoota turtaniitii. Ani Waaqayyo Waaqa keessan.
As one born in the land among you, shall be unto you the stranger that sojourneth with you, and thou shalt love him as thyself; for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt: I am the Lord your God.
35 “‘Isin yommuu dheerina, ulfinaa fi baayʼina wayii safartanitti madaalii gowwoomsaatti hin fayyadaminaa.
Ye shall do no unrighteousness in judgment, in meteyard, in weight, or in measure.
36 Safartuu fi madaalii dhugaatti, iifii fi iinii dhugaatti fayyadamaa. Ani Waaqayyo Waaqa keessan kan biyya Gibxii baasee isin fidee dha.
Just balances, just weights, a just ephah, and a just hin, shall ye have: I am the Lord your God, who have brought you forth out of the land of Egypt.
37 “‘Ajajaa fi seera koo hunda eegaatii duukaa buʼaa. Ani Waaqayyo.’”
Ye shall therefore observe all my statutes, and all my ordinances, and do them: I am the Lord.
