Lewwota 26
1 “‘Waaqota tolfamoo hin tolfatinaa; fakkii yookaan dhagaa waaqeffannaa hin dhaabbatinaa; fuula isaanii duratti sagaduuf jettaniis biyya keessan keessatti dhagaa soofame hin dhaabinaa. Ani Waaqayyo Waaqa keessan.
[Yahweh also said this to Moses/me on Sinai Mountain]: “Do not make idols or set up statues of false gods or sacred stones [to worship other gods]. And do not put on your property a stone that has been shaped [to resemble a false god] and bow down to [worship] it. [You must worship only] me, Yahweh, your God.
2 “‘Sanbatoota koo eegaa; iddoo qulqulluu koos kabajaa. Ani Waaqayyo.
“Honor the Sabbath days and revere my Sacred Tent, because I, Yahweh, [live there].
3 “‘Yoo isin sirna koo duukaa buutanii ajajawwan koos eegdanii hojii irra oolchitan,
“If you carefully obey all my commands [DOU],
4 ani yeroo isaatti bokkaa isiniifan kenna; lafti midhaan ishee, mukkeen dirrees ija isaanii ni kennu.
I will send rain for you at the proper/right times, in order that crops will grow on your land and there will be plenty of fruit on your trees.
5 Midhaan dhaʼachuun keessan hamma yeroo ija wayinii cirattaniitti itti fufa; ija wayinii cirachuun keessan hamma yeroo facaasaatti ittuma fufa; isinis nyaata keessan hamma quuftanitti nyaattanii lafa keessan irra nagaadhaan jiraattu.
You will continue [harvesting and] threshing [grain] until it is time to harvest grapes, and you will continue to harvest grapes until it is time to start planting [things in the following year]. And you will have all the food that you want to eat, and you will live safely in your land.
6 “‘Ani biyyattii keessa nagaa nan buusa; isin ni raftu; wanni tokko iyyuu isin hin sodaachisu. Biyyattii keessaa bineensota hamoo nan baasa; goraadeenis biyya keessan keessa hin darbu.
“[If you obey all my laws], there will be peace in your country, and when you lie down [to sleep], nothing will cause you to be afraid. I will get rid of the dangerous animals in your country, and there will no wars [MTY] in your country.
7 Isin diinota keessan ni ariitu; isaan immoo goraadeedhaan fuula keessan duratti dhumu.
You will pursue your enemies and kill them with your swords:
8 Isin nama shan taatanii nama dhibba tokko ariitu; dhibba tokko taatanii immoo kuma kudhan ariitu; diinonni keessan goraadeedhaan fuula keessan duratti dhumu.
Five of you will pursue 100 of them, and 100 of you will pursue 1,000 of them and kill them with your swords.
9 “‘Ani fuula tolaadhaan gara keessan ilaalee akka isin hortanii baayʼattan nan godha; kakuu isin wajjin qabus nan jabeessa.
“[If you obey all my laws], I will bless you and cause you to have many children [DOU]. And I will do what I said that I would do in the agreement that I made with you.
10 Isin midhaan bara darbee nyaachaa utuu inni gombisaa keessaa hin dhumin, midhaan haaraadhaaf iddoo qopheessuuf jettanii midhaan bara darbee sana gad baaftu.
When you are still eating food from the harvest from the previous year, it will be necessary for you to throw away some of it to make space for the new harvest.
11 Iddoo jireenya kootii isin gidduu nan godhadha; lubbuun koos isin hin balfitu.
I will live among you in my Sacred Tent, and I will never reject you.
12 Ani isin gidduu jiraadhee Waaqa keessan nan taʼa; isinis saba koo ni taatu.
I will walk among you and continue to be your God, and you will continue to be my people.
13 Ani Waaqayyo Waaqa keessan kan akka isin lammata garboota warra Gibxi hin taaneef biyya Gibxii baasee isin fidee dha; ani hidhaa waanjoo keessanii kutee akka isin mataa ol qabattanii deemtan godheera.
I am Yahweh your God, the one who brought you out of Egypt in order that you would no longer be slaves of the people of Egypt. [When you were there, you were treated as though you were animals that worked for the people of Egypt, but] [MET] I broke the bars of the (yokes/frames that were put around your necks) and enabled you to walk with your heads up.”
14 “‘Garuu yoo na dhagaʼuu diddanii ajajawwan kanneen hunda eeguu baattan,
“But if you will not heed me and obey all these commands,
15 yoo sirna koo tuffattanii seera koo balfitan, yoo ajajawwan kanneen hunda eeguu baattanii kakuu koo cabsitan,
and if you reject [DOU] my decrees and laws, and do not do [DOU] what I commanded you to do in the agreement that I made with you,
16 ani wantoota kanneen isinittin fida: Isaanis naasuu, dhukkuba nama huqqisu, dhukkuba dhagna nama gubu kan agartuu namaa balleessee jireenya namaa gogsu isinitti nan fida. Isin akkasumaan midhaan facaafattu; diinota keessantu nyaataatii.
these are the things that I will do to you: I will suddenly cause there to be disasters that will ruin you. You will have diseases that cannot be cured, and fevers that will cause you to become blind and will slowly kill you. It will be useless for you to plant seeds, because your enemies will eat the crops that grow.
17 Akka isin diinota keessaniin moʼamtaniif ani fuula isinittan hammaadha; warri isin jibban isin bulchu; isin utuu eenyu iyyuu isin hin ariʼin ni baqattu.
I will reject/abandon you [IDM], with the result that you will be defeated by your enemies. Then those who hate you will rule you, and [you will be so terrified that] you will run away even when no one is pursuing you.
18 “‘Yoo isin wantoota kanneen hunda booddee naa ajajamuu diddan ani cubbuu keessaniif dachaa torba isin adaba.
“If you still will not heed me after all those things happen to you, I will continue to punish you again and again for the sins that you have committed.
19 Of tuulummaa humna keessanii nan cabsa; samii keessan akka sibiilaa, lafa keessan immoo akka naasii nan godha.
I will cause you to no longer be stubborn and proud; I will cause [no rain to fall; it will be as though] [MET] the sky is made of iron; and the ground will be [as hard as] brass [MET].
20 Humni keessan akkasumaan bada; lafti keessan midhaan isaa, mukkeenis ija isaanii hin kennaniitii.
You will uselessly work very hard [to plant seeds], because crops will not grow in the hard soil in your fields, and fruit will not grow on your trees.
21 “‘Yoo isin naan mormitanii na dhagaʼuu diddan, ani akkuma cubbuu keessaniitti dhaʼicha dachaa torba isinitti nan fida.
“If you continue to oppose me and refuse to heed me, I will cause you to experience disasters again and again, like you deserve to experience because of your sins.
22 Anis bineensota bosonaa isinittan erga; isaanis ijoollee keessan isin jalaa ni butatu; horii keessan ni barbadeessu; baayʼinni keessan ni xinnaata; daandiiwwan keessanis duwwaa hafu.
I will send wild animals to attack you, and they will kill your little children and destroy your cattle. There will be very few of you who will remain alive, with the result that there will be very few [HYP] people walking on the roads in your country.
23 “‘Yoo isin waan kanneeniin deebiʼuu diddanii naan mormuu keessan itti fuftan garuu,
“When you experience those things that I do to punish you, if you still do not pay attention to me, and if you continue to oppose me,
24 ani mataan koo isiniinan morma; sababii cubbuu keessaniitiifis dachaa torba isin nan miidha.
I myself will oppose you, and I will punish you for your sins again and again.
25 Kakuu cabsuu keessaniifis goraadee isinitti fidee haaloo isin nan baafadha. Yommuu isin gara magaalaawwan keessaniitti baqattanitti ani gidduu keessanitti dhaʼicha nan erga; isinis dabarfamtanii harka diinotaatti kennamtu.
I will send [foreign] [MTY] to punish you for not doing the things that I commanded you to do in the agreement that I made with you. If you [try to escape from your enemies by] shutting yourselves in your cities [that have walls around them], I will cause you to experience plagues, and I will allow your enemies to capture [IDM] you.
26 Yommuu ani madda buddeena keessanii gogsutti, dubartoonni kudhan eelee tokkotti buddeena tolchu, isaanis buddeena sana madaalanii isinii kennu; isin ni nyaattu; garuu hin quuftan.
When I cut off your food supply, there will be very little flour with which to make bread. As a result, ten women will be able to bake all their bread in [only] one oven. [When the bread is baked], each woman will divide it [among the members of her family, but there will be very little for each one], and when they have eaten all of it, they will still be hungry.
27 “‘Yoo isin waan kanaanis na dhagaʼuu diddanii garuu naan mormuutti fuftan,
“After all those things happen, if you still do not heed me, if you still oppose me,
28 anis aaree isiniin nan morma; ani mataan koo sababii cubbuu keessaniitiif dachaa torba isiniinan adaba.
I will be very angry with you, and I will oppose you, and I myself will punish you for your sins again and again.
29 Isin foon ilmaan keessaniitii fi foon intallan keessanii ni nyaattu.
[You will be extremely hungry, with the result that] you will [kill] your sons and daughters and eat their flesh.
30 Iddoowwan sagadaa keessan barbadeessee iddoowwan aarsaa ixaanaa keessan nan caccabsa; reeffa keessanis waaqota keessan warra lubbuu hin qabne sana irra nan tuula; isinis nan balfa.
I will cause the shrines [where you worship idols] on hilltops to be destroyed. I will smash the altars where you burn incense [to worship your gods], and I will cause your corpses to be piled on the lifeless statues of your gods. And I will detest you.
31 Magaalaawwan keessan nan diiga; iddoowwan qulqulluu keessan nan onsa; urgaa keessan gammachiisaas hin urgeeffadhu.
I will cause your cities to become heaps of ruins, and I will cause the buildings that are dedicated to the worship of your gods to be smashed. And I will not be pleased at all with the aroma of your offerings [that are burned on the altar].
32 Ani akka diinonni keessan kanneen achi jiraatan rifataniif biyyattii nan onsa;
I will completely ruin your country, with the result that even your enemies who capture it will be shocked/appalled [when they see it].
33 ani saboota gidduu isin nan bittinneessa; goraadee koo luqqifadhees isin nan ariʼa. Biyyi keessan ni ona; magaalaawwan keessan immoo ni diigamu.
I will enable [your enemies to kill you with] their swords, and I will cause the rest of you to be scattered among other nations. Your country will be ruined and your cities will become ruins.
34 Biyyattiinis yeroo ontee isin biyya diinota keessanii keessa jiraattanitti sanbata isheetti ni gammaddi; laftis boqottee sanbata isheetti gammaddi.
After that happens, as long as you are living in your enemies’ countries, your land will be allowed to rest, like you should have allowed it to rest every seven years.
35 Biyyattiin yeroo onte kana hunda boqonnaa sanbatootaa kan yeroo isin ishee irra jiraattanitti hin argatin ni argatti.
All the time that your land is desolate, it will be able to rest, like you did not enable it to rest during all the years that you lived there.
36 “‘Warra isin keessaa hafan, ani utuma isaan biyya diinota isaanii jiranuu garaa isaaniitti naasuu nan buusa. Sagaleen baala qilleensi raasuu isaan ariʼa; utuma namni isaan ariʼu tokko illee hin jiraatin isaan akkuma waan goraadee jalaa baqataniitti fiigu; ni kukkufus.
“As for you people who will remain alive in the countries to which your enemies [will have taken you], I will cause you to become so afraid that when you hear the sound of leaves being blown by the wind, you will run away. You will run like [SIM] you are running from [a man carrying] a sword, and you will fall down, even though no one is pursuing you.
37 Namni isaan ariʼu jiraachuu baatu illee isaan akkuma waan goraadee jalaa baqataniitti wal gufachiisu. Isin fuula diinota keessanii dura dhaabachuu hin dandeessan.
You will stumble over each other. So you will not be able to stand and fight your enemies.
38 Isin saboota ormaa gidduutti dhumtu; lafti diinota keessaniis isin liqimsiti.
Many of you will die in the countries that belong to your enemies [DOU].
39 Warri isin keessaa hafan immoo sababii cubbuu isaaniitiif lafa diinota isaanii keessatti badu; sababii cubbuu abbootii isaaniitiinis ni badu.
And those of you who remain alive will slowly die and rot in the countries of your enemies because of your sins and because of the sins of your ancestors.
40 “‘Garuu yoo isaan cubbuu isaaniitii fi cubbuu abbootii isaanii jechuunis gantummaa fi daba isaan natti hojjetan
“But your descendants must confess their sins and the sins that their ancestors committed. Their ancestors acted unfaithfully toward me and were hostile to me, with the result that I forced them to go to the countries that belonged to their enemies. But when your descendants humble themselves [SYN] and stop being very stubborn [IDM] and accept being punished for their sins,
41 kan akka ani isaaniin mormuu fi akka ani biyya diinota isaaniitti isaan ergu himatan, yoo garaan isaanii kan dhagna hin qabatin sun gad of deebisee isaan gatii cubbuu isaaniitiif malu baasan,
42 ani kakuu koo kanan Yaaqoob wajjin gale, kakuu koo kanan Yisihaaq wajjin gale, kakuu koo kanan Abrahaam wajjin gale sana nan yaadadha; biyyattiis nan yaadadha.
I will remember the agreement that I made with [your ancestors] Abraham and Isaac and Jacob, and [what I promised them about] this land.
43 Lafti isaan malee hafti; yeroo isaan malee haftuttis sanbatoota isheetti ni gammaddi. Isaan sababii seera koo tuffatanii ajaja koos balfaniif gatii cubbuu isaanii ni baasu.
But [before that happens], you will be forced to leave your land, with the result that the land will be able to rest while it is desolate and while the people are being punished for rejecting my laws and hating my decrees [DOU].
44 Taʼus utuu isaan biyya diinota isaanii keessa jiranuu ani kakuu koo kanan isaan wajjin gale sana cabsee guutumaan guutuutti isaan balleessuuf jedhee isaan hin tuffadhu yookaan isaan hin balfu. Ani Waaqayyo Waaqa isaanii ti.
But when that happens, I will still not reject them or hate them and destroy them completely. I will not cancel the agreement that I made with them; for I am still Yahweh their God.
45 Garuu ani isaaniif jedhee kakuu ani abbootii isaanii warra ani Waaqa isaanii taʼuuf utuu saboonni arganuu biyya Gibxiitii baasee fide sana wajjin gale nan yaadadha. Ani Waaqayyo.’”
I will (remember/never forget) the agreement that I made with your ancestors when I brought them out of Egypt, in order that the people of all nations will know that I, Yahweh, [will continue to] be your God.”
46 Kunneen labsiiwwan, seerawwanii fi qajeelcha Waaqayyo Gaara Siinaa irratti harka Museetiin ofii isaatii fi Israaʼeloota gidduutti baasee dha.
Those are the decrees, the laws, and the regulations [DOU] that Yahweh established on Sinai Mountain between himself and the Israeli people by [giving them to] Moses/me [to tell to them].
