Lewwota 19
1 Waaqayyo Museedhaan akkana jedhe;
And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,
2 “Akkana jedhii waldaa saba Israaʼel hundatti himi; ‘Ani Waaqayyo Waaqni keessan qulqulluudhaatii isinis qulqulloota taʼaa.
'Speak unto all the company of the sons of Israel, and thou hast said unto them, Ye are holy, for holy [am] I, Jehovah, your God.
3 “‘Tokkoon tokkoon keessan haadha keessanii fi abbaa keessaniif ulfina kennaa; Sanbatoota koos eegaa. Ani Waaqayyo Waaqa keessan.
'Each his mother and his father ye do fear, and My sabbaths ye do keep; I [am] Jehovah your God.
4 “‘Gara waaqota tolfamootti hin deebiʼinaa yookaan sibiila baqfame irraa ofii keessaniif waaqota hin tolfatinaa. Ani Waaqayyo Waaqa keessan.
'Ye do not turn unto the idols, and a molten god ye do not make to yourselves; I [am] Jehovah your God.
5 “‘Yommuu aarsaa nagaa Waaqayyoof dhiʼeessitanitti akka aarsaan keessan fudhatama isiniif argatu godhaatii dhiʼeessaa.
'And when ye sacrifice a sacrifice of peace-offerings to Jehovah, at your pleasure ye do sacrifice it;
6 Aarsaan isin dhiʼeessitanis guyyuma sana yookaan guyyaa itti aanu haa nyaatamu; garuu wanni hafee hamma guyyaa sadaffaatti ture haa gubamu.
in the day of your sacrificing it is eaten, and on the morrow, and that which is left unto the third day with fire is burnt,
7 Waan kana keessaa tokko iyyuu yoo guyyaa sadaffaatti nyaatame xuraaʼaa dha; fudhatamas hin argatu.
and if it be really eaten on the third day, it [is] an abomination, it is not pleasing,
8 Namni waan sana nyaatu sababii waan Waaqayyoon qulqulleeffame xureesseef itti gaafatama; namichi sun saba isaa keessaa haa balleeffamu.
and he who is eating it his iniquity doth bear, for the holy thing of Jehovah he hath polluted, and that person hath been cut off from his people.
9 “‘Yommuu oomisha lafa keessanii walitti qabattanitti hamma daariitti hin haaminaa; qarmii isaa illee hin funaannatinaa.
'And in your reaping the harvest of your land ye do not completely reap the corner of thy field, and the gleaning of thy harvest thou dost not gather,
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 thy vineyard thou dost not glean, even the omitted part of thy vineyard thou dost not gather, to the poor and to the sojourner thou dost leave them; I [am] Jehovah your God.
11 “‘Hin hatinaa. “‘Hin sobinaa. “‘Walis hin gowwoomsinaa.
'Ye do not steal, nor feign, nor lie one against his fellow.
12 “‘Sobaan maqaa kootiin hin kakatinaa; akkasiinis maqaa Waaqa keessanii hin xureessinaa. Ani Waaqayyo.
'And ye do not swear by My name to falsehood, or thou hast polluted the name of thy God; I [am] Jehovah.
13 “‘Ollaa kee gowwoomsitee waa irraa hin fudhatin yookaan hin saamin. “‘Mindaa nama qaxarame tokkoo hamma bariʼutti of bira hin bulchin.
'Thou dost not oppress thy neighbour, nor take plunder; the wages of the hireling doth not remain with thee till morning.
14 “‘Nama gurra duudaa hin abaarin yookaan nama jaamaa dura gufuu hin kaaʼin; garuu Waaqa kee sodaadhu. Ani Waaqayyo.
'Thou dost not revile the deaf; and before the blind thou dost not put a stumbling block; and thou hast been afraid of thy God; I [am] Jehovah.
15 “‘Murtii hin jalʼisinaa; nama wal caalchisuudhaan gara hiyyeessaa hin gorinaa; nama guddaafis hin looginaa; ollaa keetiif garuu murtii qajeelaa kenni.
'Ye do not do perversity in judgment; thou dost not lift up the face of the poor, nor honour the face of the great; in righteousness thou dost judge thy fellow.
16 “‘Saba kee gidduutti hamii hin facaasin. “‘Waan jireenya ollaa keetii balaa irra buusu hin hojjetin. Ani Waaqayyo.
'Thou dost not go slandering among thy people; thou dost not stand against the blood of thy neighbour; I [am] Jehovah.
17 “‘Garaa keetti obboleessa kee hin jibbin; akka cubbuu isaa keessatti qooda hin qabaanneef ollaa kee ifaan ifatti itti dheekkami.
'Thou dost not hate thy brother in thy heart; thou dost certainly reprove thy fellow, and not suffer sin on 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 dost not take vengeance, nor watch the sons of thy people; and thou hast had love to thy neighbour as thyself; I [am] Jehovah.
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 ye do keep: thy cattle thou dost not cause to gender [with] diverse kinds; thy field thou dost not sow with diverse kinds, and a garment of diverse kinds, shaatnez, doth not go up 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 when a man lieth with a woman with seed of copulation, and she a maid-servant, betrothed to a man, and not really ransomed, or freedom hath not been given to her, an investigation there is; they are not put to death, for she [is] not free.
21 Namichi sun garuu korbeessa hoolaa tokko aarsaa yakkaatiif gara balbala dunkaana wal gaʼiitti Waaqayyoof haa fidu.
'And he hath brought in his guilt-offering to Jehovah, unto the opening of the tent of meeting, a ram [for] a guilt-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 hath made atonement for him with the ram of the guilt-offering before Jehovah, for his sin which he hath sinned, and it hath been forgiven him because of his sin which he hath sinned.
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 in unto the land, and have planted all [kinds] of trees [for] food, then ye have reckoned as uncircumcised its fruit, three years it is to you uncircumcised, it is not eaten,
24 Waggaa afuraffaatti immoo iji isaa hundinuu ni qulqullaaʼa; Waaqayyoofis aarsaa galataa taʼa.
and in the fourth year all its fruit is holy — praises for Jehovah.
25 Waggaa shanaffaatti garuu ija isaa nyaachuu dandeessu. Haala kanaan oomishni keessan ni guddata. Ani Waaqayyo Waaqa keessan.
And in the fifth year ye do eat its fruit — to add to you its increase; I [am] Jehovah your God.
26 “‘Utuu dhiigni keessa jiruu foon kam iyyuu hin nyaatinaa. “‘Tolcha yookaan falfala hin hojjetinaa.
'Ye do not eat with the blood; ye do not enchant, nor observe clouds.
27 “‘Rifeensa mataa keessanii naannessitanii hin haaddatinaa yookaan qarqara areeda keessaniis hin murmuratinaa.
'Ye do not round the corner of your head, nor destroy the corner of thy beard.
28 “‘Nama duʼeef jettanii dhagna keessan hin mammadeessinaa yookaan mallattoo tumaa tokko illee of irratti hin tolfatinaa. Ani Waaqayyo.
'And a cutting for the soul ye do not put in your flesh; and a writing, a cross-mark, ye do not put on you; I [am] Jehovah.
29 “‘Akka lafti halalummaatti deebitee hamminaan hin guutamneef intala kee akka isheen ejjitu gochuudhaan ishee hin salphisin.
'Thou dost not pollute thy daughter to cause her to go a-whoring, that the land go not a-whoring, and the land hath been full of wickedness.
30 “‘Sanbatoota koo eegaa; iddoo qulqulluu koos kabajaa. Ani Waaqayyo.
'My sabbaths ye do keep, and My sanctuary ye do reverence; I [am] Jehovah.
31 “‘Isin akka hin xuroofneef ilaaltota bira hin deeminaa yookaan warra ekeraa dubbisan hin barbaadinaa. Ani Waaqayyo Waaqa keessan.
'Ye do not turn unto those having familiar spirits; and unto wizards ye do not seek, for uncleanness by them; I [am] Jehovah your God.
32 “‘Warra dulloomaniif kaʼi; jaarsaaf ulfina kenni; Waaqa kee sodaadhu. Ani Waaqayyo.
'At the presence of grey hairs thou dost rise up, and thou hast honoured the presence of an old man, and hast been afraid of thy God; I [am] Jehovah.
33 “‘Yoo alagaan biyya keessan keessa isin wajjin jiraate isa hin cunqursinaa.
'And when a sojourner sojourneth with thee in your land, thou dost not oppress 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 a native among you is the sojourner to you who is sojourning with you, and thou hast had love to him as to thyself, for sojourners ye have been in the land of Egypt; I [am] Jehovah your God.
35 “‘Isin yommuu dheerina, ulfinaa fi baayʼina wayii safartanitti madaalii gowwoomsaatti hin fayyadaminaa.
'Ye do not do perversity in judgment, in mete-yard, in weight, or in liquid measure;
36 Safartuu fi madaalii dhugaatti, iifii fi iinii dhugaatti fayyadamaa. Ani Waaqayyo Waaqa keessan kan biyya Gibxii baasee isin fidee dha.
righteous balances, righteous weights, a righteous ephah, and a righteous hin ye have; I [am] Jehovah your God, who hath brought you out from the land of Egypt;
37 “‘Ajajaa fi seera koo hunda eegaatii duukaa buʼaa. Ani Waaqayyo.’”
and ye have observed all my statutes, and all my judgments, and have done them; I [am] Jehovah.'
