Nahimiyaa 9
1 Bultii digdamii afuraffaa jiʼa sanaatti Israaʼeloonni wayyaa gaddaa uffatanii, daaraa mataatti firfirfatanii soomaaf walitti qabaman.
And in the four and twentieth day of the month the children of Israel came together with fasting and with sackcloth, and earth upon them.
2 Warri sanyii Israaʼel taʼanis namoota ormaa hunda irraa kophaa of baasan. Isaanis kaʼanii cubbuu ofii isaaniitii fi hammina abbootii isaanii himatan.
And the seed of the children of Israel separated themselves from every stranger: and they stood, and confessed their sins, and the iniquities of their fathers.
3 Isaanis idduma turan sana dhaabatanii kurmaana guyyaatiif Kitaaba Seera Waaqayyo Waaqa isaanii keessaa dubbifatan; kurmaana biraa immoo cubbuu isaanii himachaa Waaqayyo Waaqa isaanii waaqeffatan.
And they rose up to stand: and they read in the book of the law of the Lord their God, four times in the day, and four times they confessed, and adored the Lord their God.
4 Lewwonni jechuunis Yeeshuuʼaan, Baaniin, Qadmiiʼeel, Shebaniyaan, Buniin, Sheereebiyaan, Baanii fi Kenaan waltajjiiwwan irra dhaabatanii sagalee ol fudhatanii Waaqayyo isaanii waammatan.
And there stood up upon the seep of the Levites, Josue, and Bani, and Cedmihel, Sabania, Bonni, Sarebias, Bani, and Chanani: and they cried with a loud voice to the Lord their God.
5 Lewwonni jechuunis Yeeshuuʼaan, Qadmiiʼeel, Baaniin, Hashabniyaan, Sheereebiyaan, Hoodiyaa, Shebaniyaanii fi Phetaayaadhaan, “Kaʼaatii Waaqayyo Waaqa keessan isa bara baraa hamma bara baraatti jiraatu sana galateeffadhaa” jedhan. “Maqaan kee inni ulfina qabeessi haa eebbifamu; eebbaa fi galata hundaa olittis ol ol haa jedhu.
And the Levites Josue and Cedmihel, Bonni, Hasebnia, Serebia, Oduia, Sebnia, and Phathahia, said: Arise, bless the Lord your God from eternity to eternity: and blessed be the high name of thy glory with all blessing and praise.
6 Suma qofatu Waaqayyo. Ati samiiwwan, samiiwwan oliitii fi tuuta urjiiwwan isaanii hunda, lafaa fi waan lafa irra jiru hunda, galaanaa fi waan isaan keessa jiru hunda uumte. Ati waan hundaaf lubbuu kennita; raayyaawwan samiis si waaqeffatu.
Thou thyself, O Lord alone, thou hast made heaven, and the heaven of heavens, and all the host thereof: the earth and all things that are in it: the seas and all that are therein: and thou givest life to all these things, and the host of heaven adoreth thee.
7 “Ati Waaqayyo Waaqa Abraamin filattee biyya Kaldootaa Uuri keessa isa baaftee Abrahaam jettee isa moggaaftee dha.
Thou, O Lord God, art he who chosest Abram, and broughtest him forth out of the fire of the Chaldeans, and gavest him the name of Abraham.
8 Ati akka ati yaadni isaa amanamaa siif taʼe argitee biyya Kanaʼaanotaa, Heetotaa, Amoorotaa, Feerzotaa, Yebuusotaatii fi biyya Girgaashotaa sanyiiwwan isaatiif kennuuf kakuu isaaf galte. Ati waan qajeelaa taateef waadaa kee eegdeef.
And thou didst find his heart faithful before thee: and thou madest a covenant with him, to give him the land of the Chanaanite, of the Hethite, and of the Amorrhite, and of the Pherezite, and of the Jebusite, and of the Gergezite, to give it to his seed: and thou hast fulfilled thy words, because thou art just.
9 “Ati rakkina abbootiin keenya biyya Gibxi keessatti rakkatan argite; booʼicha isaan Galaana Diimaa biratti booʼan illee ni dhageesse.
And thou sawest the affliction of our fathers in Egypt: and thou didst hear their cry by the Red Sea.
10 Ati sababii warri Gibxi of tuulummadhaan hammam akka isaan dhiphisan beekteef Faraʼoonitti, qondaaltota isaa hundattii fi saba biyya isaa hundatti mallattoo fi dinqiiwwan argisiifte. Ati maqaa hamma harʼaatti illee jiru ofii keetiif baafatte.
And thou shewedst signs and wonders upon Pharao, and upon all his servants, and upon the people of his land: for thou knewest that they dealt proudly against them: and thou madest thyself a name, as it is at this day.
11 Ati akka isaan lafa gogaa irra darbaniif fuuluma isaanii duratti galaana gargar qoodde; warra isaan ariʼu garuu akkuma dhagaa bishaan guddaatti gad darbatamuu tokkootti tuujubatti gad isaan darbatte.
And thou didst divide the sea before them, and they passed through the midst of the sea on dry land: but their persecutors thou threwest into the depth, as a stone into mighty waters.
12 Guyyaa guyyaa utubaa duumessaatiin isaan qajeelchite; halkan halkan immoo karaa isaan deeman irratti ifa isaaniif kennuuf jettee utubaa ibiddaatiin isaan qajeelchite.
And in a pillar of a cloud thou wast their leader by day, and in a pillar of Are by night, that they might see the way by which they went.
13 “Ati Tulluu Siinaa irratti gad buute; samii irraas isaanitti dubbate. Ajajawwanii fi seerawwan dhugaa fi qajeelaa, labsiiwwanii fi ajajawwan gaariis isaaniif kennite.
Thou camest down also to mount Sinai, and didst speak with them from heaven, and thou gavest them right judgments, and the law of truth, ceremonies, and good precepts.
14 Sanbata kee qulqulluu sana isaan beeksiftee karaa garbicha kee Museetiin ajajawwan, labsiiwwanii fi seerawwan isaaniif kennite.
Thou madest known to them thy holy sabbath, and didst prescribe to them commandments, and ceremonies, and the law by the hand of Moses thy servant.
15 Yeroo isaan beelaʼanitti samiidhaa buddeena kenniteefii yeroo isaan dheebotanitti immoo kattaa keessaa bishaan baafteef; akka isaan biyya ati isaaniif kennuuf kakatte sanatti galanii dhaalanis isaanitti himte.
And thou gavest them bread from heaven in their hunger, and broughtest forth water for them out of the rock in their thirst, and thou saidst to them that they should go in, and possess the land, upon which thou hadst lifted up thy hand to give it them.
16 “Abbootiin keenya garuu of tuulan; mataa jabaataniis ajaja kee eeguu didan.
But they and our fathers dealt proudly, and hardened their necks and hearkened not to thy commandments.
17 Jarris ajajamuu didan; dinqii ati isaan gidduutti hojjette hin yaadanne. Garbummaa isaaniitti deebiʼuuf jedhaniis mataa jabaatanii fincila isaaniitiin hoogganaa muuddatan. Ati garuu Waaqa namaaf araaramu, arjaa fi gara laafessa, kan dafee hin aarree fi kan jaalalli isaa dhuma hin qabnee dha. Kanaafuu ati isaan hin ganne;
And they would not hear, and they remembered not thy wonders which thou hadst done for them. And they hardened their necks, and gave the head to return to their bondage, as it were by contention. But thou, a forgiving God, gracious, and merciful, longsuffering, and full of compassion, didst not forsake them.
18 yeroo isaan ofii isaaniitiif fakkii jabbii tolfatanii, ‘Kun Waaqa keessan kan biyya Gibxii isin baasee dha’ jedhanii Waaqa arrabsanitti illee ati isaan hin ganne.
Yea when they had made also to themselves a molten calf, and had said: This is thy God, that brought thee out of Egypt: and hail committed great blasphemies:
19 “Sababii gara laafina kee guddaa sanaatiif ati gammoojjii keessatti isaan hin ganne. Utubaan duumessaa guyyaa guyyaa karaa isaanii irratti isaan geggeessuu hin dhiifne; utubaan ibiddaa immoo halkan halkan karaa isaanii irratti isaaniif ibsuu hin dhiifne.
Yet thou, in thy many mercies, didst not leave them in the desert: the pillar of the cloud departed not from them by day to lead them in the way, and the pillar of fire by night to shew them the way by which they should go.
20 Isaan barsiisuuf jettee Hafuura kee gaarii sana kennite. Ati mannaa afaan isaaniitii hin dhabamsiifne; dheebuu isaaniitiifis bishaan kenniteef.
And thou gavest them thy good Spirit to teach them, and thy manna thou didst not withhold from their mouth, and thou gavest them water for their thirst.
21 Waggaa afurtama gammoojjii keessatti isaan soorte; isaan waan tokko illee hin dhabne; wayyaan isaanii hin dhumne; miilli isaaniis hin iitofne.
Forty years didst thou feed them in the desert, and nothing was wanting to them: their garments did not grow old, and their feet were not worn.
22 “Ati daangaa hunda qooddeefii mootummootaa fi saboota isaaniif kennite. Isaanis akkasiin biyya Sihoon mooticha Heshboonii fi biyya Oogi mooticha Baashaanii fudhatan.
And thou gavest them kingdoms, and nations, and didst divide lots for them: and they possessed the land of Sehon, and the land of the king of Hesebon, and the land of Og king of Basan.
23 Ati ilmaan isaanii akkuma urjiiwwan samii baayʼifte; biyya akka isaan seenanii dhaalaniif abbootii isaaniitti himte sanatti isaan galchite.
And thou didst multiply their children as the stars of heaven, and broughtest them to the land concerning which thou hadst said to their fathers, that they should go in and possess it.
24 Ilmaan isaanii itti galanii biyya sana dhaalan. Atis Kanaʼaanota biyya sana turan isaan jala galchite; akka jarri waanuma fedhan isaan godhaniif Kanaʼaanota mootota isaaniitii fi saba biyya sanaatiin walitti qabdee dabarsitee harka isaaniitti kennite.
And the children came and possessed the land, and thou didst humble before them the inhabitants of the land, the Chanaanites, and gavest them into their hands, with their kings, and the people of the land, that they might do with them as it pleased them.
25 Isaanis magaalaawwan daʼannoo qabanii fi lafa gabbataa qabatan; manneen miʼa gaggaarii gosa hundaatiin guutaman, boollawwan bishaanii qotaman, iddoo dhaabaa wayinii, lafa qotiisaa mukkeen ejersaatii fi mukkeen ija baasan hedduu dhaalan. Isaan nyaatanii quufanii gabbatan; arjummaa kee guddaa sanaanis ni gammadan.
And they took strong cities and a fat land, and possessed houses full of all goods: cisterns made by others, vineyards, and oliveyards, and fruit trees in abundance: and they ate, and were filled, and became fat, and abounded with delight in thy great goodness.
26 “Isaan garuu ajajamuu didanii sitti fincilan; seera kees of duubatti gatan. Raajota kee kanneen gara keetti isaan deebisuuf jedhanii isaan seeran illee ni fixan; Waaqas ni arrabsan.
But they provoked thee to wrath, and departed from thee, and threw thy law behind their backs: and they killed thy prophets, who admonished them earnestly to return to thee: and they were guilty of great blasphemies.
27 Kanaafuu ati diinota isaanii warra isaan cunqursanitti dabarsitee isaan kennite. Isaan garuu yeroo cunqurfamanitti sitti iyyatan. Atis samiidhaa isaan dhageessee gara laafina kee guddaa sanaan namoota harka diinota isaanii jalaa isaan baasan kenniteef.
And thou gavest them into the hands of their enemies, and they afflicted them. And in the time of their tribulation they cried to thee, and thou heardest from heaven, and according to the multitude of thy tender mercies thou gavest them saviours, to save them from the hands of their enemies.
28 “Isaan garuu akkuma boqonnaa argataniin amma illee fuula kee duratti waan hamaa hojjetan. Kana irratti ati akka warri sun isaan bulchaniif jettee harka diinota isaaniitti dabarsitee isaan kennite. Yommuu isaan amma illee gara keetti ol iyyatanitti ati samii irraa dhageessee gara laafina keetiin yeroo hedduu isaan furte.
But after they had rest, they returned to do evil in thy sight: and thou leftest them in the hand of their enemies, and they had dominion over them. Then they returned, and cried to thee: and thou heardest from heaven, and deliveredst them many times in thy mercies.
29 “Ati akka isaan gara seera keetiitti deebiʼaniif isaan akeekkachiifte; isaan immoo of tuulanii ajaja kee eeguu didan. Ajajawwan kee kanneen ‘namni tokko yoo ajajameef ittiin jireenya argachuu dandaʼutti illee’ cubbuu hojjetan. Finciluudhaan dugda isaanii sitti garagalchan; mataa jabaataniis si dhagaʼu didan.
And thou didst admonish them to return to thy law. But they dealt proudly, and hearkened not to thy commandments, but sinned against thy judgments, which if a man do, he shall live in them: and they withdrew the shoulder, and hardened their neck, and would not hear.
30 Ati bara hedduu isaaniif obsite. Karaa raajota keetiitiin Hafuura keetiin isaan akeekkachiifte. Taʼus isaan gurra hin kennine; kanaafuu ati dabarsitee saba biyya sanaatti isaan kennite.
And thou didst forbear with them for many years, and didst testify against them by thy spirit by the hand of thy prophets: and they heard not, and thou didst deliver them into the hand of the people of the lands.
31 Ati garuu sababii Waaqa arjaa fi araara qabeessa taateef, araara kee guddicha sanaaf jettee isaan hin balleessine yookaan isaan hin ganne.
Yet in thy very many mercies thou didst not utterly consume them, nor forsake them: because thou art a merciful and gracious God.
32 “Kanaafuu amma yaa Waaqa keenya, Waaqa guddicha, jabaa fi sodaachisaa, kan kakuu jaalala keetii eegdu, ati rakkina nutti dhufe kana hunda jechuunis rakkina bara mootota Asoorii jalqabee hamma harʼaatti nutti, mootota keenyaa fi hooggantoota keenyatti, luboota keenyaa fi raajota keenyatti, abbootii keenyaa fi saba kee hundatti dhufe kana akka waan salphaatti hin ilaalin.
Now therefore our God, great, strong and terrible, who keepest covenant and mercy, turn not away from thy face all the labour which hath come upon us, upon our kings, and our princes, and our priests, and our prophets, and our fathers, and all the people from the days of the king of Assur, until this day.
33 Waan nurra gaʼe hunda keessatti ati qajeelaa dha; nu yoo hamaa hojjenne iyyuu ati waan qajeelaa hojjette.
And thou art just in all things that have come upon us: because thou hast done truth, but we have done wickedly.
34 Mootonni keenya, hooggantoonni keenya, luboonni keenyaa fi abbootiin keenya seera kee duukaa hin buune; isaan ajaja keetiif yookaan akeekkachiisa ati isaaniif kenniteef xiyyeeffannoo hin kennine.
Our kings, our princes, our priests, and our fathers have not kept thy law, and have not minded thy commandments, and thy testimonies which thou hast testified among them.
35 Isaan yeroo ati biyya balʼaa fi lafa gabbataa keessatti waan gaarii isaaniif kennite sana keessatti gammadaa, mootummaa ofii isaanii keessa turanitti illee si hin tajaajille yookaan karaa isaanii hamaa sana irraa hin deebine.
And they have not served thee in their kingdoms, and in thy manifold goodness, which thou gavest them, and in the large and fat land, which thou deliveredst before them, nor did they return from their most wicked devices.
36 “Kunoo nu harʼa garboota; biyyuma ati akka isaan midhaan isheetii fi waan gaggaarii isheen baaftu nyaataniif jettee abbootii keenyaaf kennite keessatti garboomneerra.
Behold we ourselves this day are bondmen: and the land, which thou gavest our fathers, to eat the bread thereof, and the good things thereof, and we ourselves are servants in it.
37 Sababii cubbuu keenyaatiif midhaan ishee baayʼeen sun gara mootota ati nutti muudde sanaa dhaqa. Isaan nuu fi loon keenya illee akkuma fedhan godhu. Nu rakkina guddaa keessa jirra.
And the fruits thereof grow up for the kings, whom thou hast set over us for our sins, and they have dominion over our bodies, and over our beasts, according to their will, and we are in great tribulation.
38 “Sababii waan kana hundaatiif nu walii galtee walitti nu hidhu tokko barreeffamaan qopheessine. Hooggantoonni keenya, Lewwonni keenyaa fi luboonni keenya chaappaawwan isaanii itti rukutan.”
And because of all this we ourselves make a covenant, and write it, and our princes, our Levites, and our priests sign it.
