He is our God, and we are the people whom he takes care of [MET]; like sheep [that a shepherd] takes care of. Today, listen to what Yahweh is saying to you.
8 akka Mariibaatti gootan sana, akka gaafa gammoojjii keessatti Maasaatti gootan sanaa mataa hin jabaatinaa;
He says, “Do not become stubborn [IDM] like [your ancestors] did at Meribah, and like [they did] at Massah in the desert.
9 abbootiin keessan utuma hojii koo arganuu, achitti qoranii na ilaalan.
There your ancestors (wanted to see/tried to determine) if they could do many very evil things [without my punishing them]. Even though they had seen me perform [many] miracles, they tested whether I [would continue to be patient with them].
10 Dhaloota sanatti ani waggaa afurtama nan dheekkame; anis, “Isaan saba garaan isaanii karaa irraa jalʼatee dha; isaan karaa koo hin beekne” nan jedheen.
For 40 years I was angry with those people, and I said, ‘Those people say that they want to please me, but they do things that I detest. They refuse to obey my commands.’
11 Kanaafuu ani dheekkamsa kootiin, “Isaan boqonnaa kootti hin galan” jedhee kakadhe.
So because I was very angry, I solemnly said/declared about them: ‘They will never enter [the land of Canaan] where I would have allowed them to rest!’”
