Sharciga Kunoqoshadiisa 1
1 Kuwanu waa erayadii Muuse kula hadlay reer binu Israa'iil markay joogeen Webi Urdun shishadiisa cidlada dhexdeeda, oo ah Caraabaah oo ka soo hor jeedda Suuf, meel u dhexaysa Faaraan, iyo Tofel, iyo Laabaan, iyo Xaseerood, iyo Diisaahaab.
In this book is written what Moses/I said to the Israeli people. He/I told them these things when they/we were in the desert, on the east side of the Jordan [River]. They/We had set up our tents near [a place named] Suph, between Paran [town on the one side of the river] and Tophel, Laban, Hazeroth, and Dizahab [towns on the other side of the river].
2 Oo koob iyo toban maalmood ayaa looga socdaa Xoreeb xagga Buur Seciir ilaa tan iyo Qaadeesh Barneeca.
To walk from Sinai [Mountain] to the Kadesh-Barnea [oasis], people usually travel for only eleven days, going by way of the hilly area named Edom.
3 Oo sannaddii afartanaad bisheedii koob iyo tobnaad, maalinteedii kowaad ayaa Muuse reer binu Israa'iil kula hadlay kulli amarradii Rabbigu ugu soo dhiibay oo dhan.
Forty years after (the Israelis/we) left Egypt, in the middle of January, Moses/I told the Israeli people everything that Yahweh had commanded him/me to tell them.
4 Taasuna waa ka dambaysay diliddii uu dilay Siixon oo ahaa boqorkii reer Amor oo degganaa Xeshboon, iyo Coog oo ahaa boqorkii reer Baashaan oo degganaa Cashtarod ee Edrecii ku taal.
This was after they/we had defeated Sihon, the king of the Amor people-group, who lived in Heshbon [city], and Og, the king of the Bashan [region] who lived in Ashtaroth and Edrei [towns].
5 Oo meeshaas ee Webi Urdun ka shishaysa oo ku taal dalka reer Moo'aab ayaa Muuse ka bilaabay inuu caddeeyo sharcigan, oo wuxuu yidhi,
Moses/I told them these things while the people were in the Moab region, on the east side of the Jordan [River]. He/I (explained to them/enabled them to understand) God’s laws. This is what he/I said to them:
6 Rabbiga Ilaaheenna ahu wuxuu inala hadlay intaan Xoreeb joognay oo wuxuu inagu yidhi, Buurtan in idinku filan waad degganaydeen,
“Yahweh our God said to us when we were at Sinai [Mountain], ‘You have stayed for a very long time at [the bottom of] this mountain.
7 haddaba noqda oo guura oo waxaad tagtaan dalka buuraha leh oo reer Amor, iyo meelaha halkaas u dhow oo dhan oo ah Caraabaah, iyo dalka buuraha leh, iyo dooxooyinka, iyo xagga koonfureed, iyo badda xeebteeda, kuwaasoo ah dalka reer Kancaan, iyo Lubnaan, iyo tan iyo webiga weyn oo Yufraad.
So now continue traveling. Go to the hilly area where the Amor people-group lives and to the nearby areas—to the Jordan [River] Valley, to the hilly region, to the western (foothills/hills at the bottom of the mountains), to the desert area to the south, to the [Mediterranean] Seacoast, to all of Canaan land, to the Lebanon [Mountains], and [northeast] to the great Euphrates River.
8 Bal eega, dalka waan idin hor dhigay, haddaba gala oo hantiya dalkii Rabbigu ugu dhaartay awowayaashiin oo ahaa Ibraahim iyo Isxaaq iyo Yacquub inuu siinayo iyaga iyo farcankooda ka dambeeyaba
Note that I will give that land to you. I, Yahweh, promised to your ancestors Abraham and Isaac and Jacob that I would give it to them and to their descendants. So now go and occupy it.’”
9 Oo anna markaas waan idinla hadlay oo waxaan idhi, Anigu idinma aan qaadi karo keli ahaantay.
Moses/I also said to the people, “When [we were still at Sinai Mountain], I told your ancestors ‘It is a very big burden/responsibility for me to govern all of you. So I cannot do it by myself.
10 Rabbiga Ilaahiinna ahu wuu idin tarmiyey, oo bal eega, maanta waxaad u faro badan tihiin sida xiddigaha samada oo kale.
Yahweh our God has caused us Israelis to now become as numerous as the stars in the sky.
11 Oo weliba Rabbiga ah Ilaaha awowayaashiin ha idinka dhigo kun jeer in ka sii badan intaad haatan tihiin, oo ha idiin barakeeyo siduu idin ballanqaaday!
And I hope/desire that Yahweh, the God whom our ancestors [worshiped], will cause us to become 1,000 times as numerous as we are now and that he will bless us just like he promised to do.
12 Oo bal anigoo keligay ah sidee baan u qaadi karaa culayskiinna iyo rarkiinna iyo rabshaddiinna?
But I certainly cannot [RHQ] (solve/deal with) all of your complaints/problems.
13 Haddaba siday qabiilooyinkiinnu yihiin waxaad kala soo baxdaan rag xigmad leh oo waxgarad ah oo caan ah, oo anna waxaan iyaga ka dhigayaa madax idiin talisa.
So choose some men from your tribes who are wise and who have good sense and who are respected. Then I will appoint them to be your leaders.’
14 Oo idinna waad ii jawaabteen oo waxaad igu tidhaahdeen, Waxaad ku hadashay waa noo wanaagsan yihiin inaannu samayno.
Your ancestors replied, ‘What you have suggested is good for us to do.’
15 Sidaas daraaddeed waxaan soo kaxaystay madaxdii qabiilooyinkiinna oo ah rag xigmad leh oo caan ah, oo waxaan ka dhigay madax idiin talisa, oo ah kun u taliyayaal, iyo boqol-u-taliyayaal, iyo konton-u-taliyayaal, iyo toban u taliyayaal, iyo saraakiil, siday qabiilooyinkiinnu ahaayeen.
So I took the wise and respected men [that your ancestors chose] from your tribes, and I appointed them to be your leaders. I appointed some to (rule/have authority) over 1,000 people, some to have authority over 100 people, some to have authority over 50 people, and some to have authority over ten people. I also appointed other officers from throughout your tribes.
16 Oo waagaas ayaan xaakinnadiinna amray, oo waxaan ku idhi, Maqla dacwadaha walaalihiin dhex yaal, oo caddaalad ugu kala garsoora nin iyo walaalkiis iyo shisheeyaha isaga la jira.
I instructed/told your leaders, ‘Listen to the disputes that occur among your people. Judge each dispute, including disputes between close relatives and quarrels between your people and people from other countries who live among you.
17 Oo xagga garsooridda dadka ha u kala eexanina. Kii yar iyo kii weynba waa inaad isku si u maqashaan, oo ninna wejigiisa ha ka cabsanina, waayo, garsooridda Ilaah baa iska leh, oo dacwaddii idinku adagna ii keena, oo anna taas waan maqli doonaa.
You must (be impartial/not favor one person more than another); you must treat poor people and important people equally. You must not worry about what anyone will think [about how you decide matters], because you will decide matters as God [wants you to]. If any quarrel/dispute is very difficult and you are unable to decide it, bring it to me, and I will decide.’
18 Oo waagaas waxaan idinku amray wixii aad samayn lahaydeen oo dhan.
At that time I also told you other things that you should do.”
19 Markaasaynu ka soo guurnay Xoreeb oo waxaynu dhex marnay cidladaas weyn oo aad looga cabsado ee aad soo aragteen ee ku taal jidka loo maro dalka buuraha leh oo reer Amor, siduu inagu amray Rabbiga Ilaaheenna ahu, oo waxaynu nimid Qaadeesh Barneeca.
“Then, just like Yahweh our God commanded us, we left Sinai [Mountain] and went through that huge desert that was very (dangerous/difficult to travel through), on the road to the hilly area where the Amor people-group live. We arrived at Kadesh-Barnea.
20 Oo anna markaas waxaan idinku idhi, War waxaad timaadeen dalka buuraha leh oo reer Amor ee Rabbiga Ilaaheenna ahu ina siinayo.
I said to your ancestors, ‘We have now come to the hilly area where the Amor people-group live. This is part of the area that Yahweh our God, the one whom our ancestors [worshiped], is giving to us.
21 Bal eega, Rabbiga Ilaahiinna ahu dalkii buu idin hor dhigay. Haddaba u kaca, oo hanti u qaata sidii Rabbiga ah Ilaaha awowayaashiin uu idiin sheegay, oo ha cabsanina, hana qalbi jabina.
Note that Yahweh our God is giving this land to us. So go and occupy it as he commanded. Do not be (at all/even a little bit) afraid.’
22 Oo mid kastoo idinka mid ahuba wuu ii soo dhowaaday oo wuxuu igu yidhi, War aynu niman iska hor marinno, si ay dalka inoogu soo baadhaan, oo ay inoogu soo sheegaan jidka aan marayno iyo magaalooyinka aan tegayno.
But all of your ancestors came to me and said, ‘Before we go, we should [first] send some men there to explore the land, in order that they can return and tell us which will be the best road to go there and what kind of towns are there.’
23 Oo anna taas aad baan ugu farxay, markaasaan idinkala soo baxay laba iyo toban nin, oo qabiil kastaba nin baan ka soocay.
I thought that it would be good to do that, so I chose twelve men, one man from each tribe.
24 Kolkaasay noqdeen oo buurtii u kaceen, oo waxay gaadheen dooxadii Eshkol, wayna soo basaaseen.
They went up into the hilly area as far as Eshcol Valley, and they explored all that area.
25 Oo waxay gacmahooda ku soo qaadeen dalka midhihiisii, oo innagay inoo keeneen, oo haddana intay inoo war keeneen ayay yidhaahdeen, Dalku waa dal wanaagsan oo Rabbiga Ilaaheenna ahu ina siinayo.
They picked some of the fruit that they found there and brought it to us. They reported that the land that Yahweh our God was giving to us is very good/fertile.”
26 Laakiinse idinku waad diiddeen inaad u kacdaan, oo waxaad ku caasiyowdeen amarkii Rabbiga Ilaahiinna ah.
“But your ancestors refused to go [and conquer that land]. They rebelled against what Yahweh our God had commanded them to do, and they would not go into that land.
27 Oo teendhooyinkiinna ayaad ku dhex gunuunacdeen, oo waxaad tidhaahdeen, Rabbigu nacaybka uu inoo qabo aawadiis ayuu dalkii Masar inooga soo bixiyey inuu ina geliyo gacanta reer Amor oo ay ina baabbi'iyaan.
Your ancestors [stayed] in their tents and complained saying ‘Yahweh hates us. So he has brought us here from Egypt just to allow the Amor people-group to destroy us.
28 Bal xaggee baynu u sii kacnaa? Waayo, walaalaheen ayaa qalbigeennii aad u cabsiiyey, oo waxay yidhaahdeen, Dadku waa inaga badan yahay, wayna inaga dhaadheer yihiin, oo magaalooyinkuna way waaweyn yihiin oo deyr samada ku tolan ayaa ku wareegsan, oo weliba waxaan kaloo halkaas ku soo aragnay reer Canaaq.
(Why should we go there?/We do not want to go there.) [RHQ] The men whom we sent there have caused us to become very discouraged/afraid. They have told us that the people there are much stronger and taller than we are and that there are extremely high [HYP] walls around their towns. Also they reported that they saw [giants there that are] descendants of Anak.’
29 Oo markaasaan idinku idhi, Ha cabsanina, hana ka baqina.
Then I said to your ancestors, ‘Do not be afraid (at all/even a little bit) [DOU] of those people!
30 Waayo, waxaa idiin dagaallami doona Rabbiga Ilaahiinna ah ee idin hor socda, si waafaqsan kulli wixii uu indhihiinna hortooda idiinku sameeyey dalkii Masar,
Yahweh our God will go ahead of you, and he will fight for you, just like you saw him do for you in Egypt
31 iyo cidladii oo aad ku soo aragteen sidii Rabbiga Ilaahiinna ahu, sida nin wiilkiisa u sido, uu idiinku siday jidkii aad soo marteen oo dhan ilamaa aad meeshan timaadeen.
and in the desert. You saw how he brought you safely here, like a man would carry his son. [SIM]’
32 Oo weliba waxyaalahaas kuma aydaan rumaysan Rabbiga Ilaahiinna ah
[I reminded them that] he always went ahead of them while they traveled [in the desert]. He directed them by [a pillar of] fire during the night and a [pillar of] cloud during the day. He showed them places to set up their tents. But in spite of what I said, your ancestors would not trust Yahweh our God.
33 oo jidkii aad soo marteen idinku soo hor kacay si uu idiinku doondoono meel aad teendhooyinkiinna ka dhisataan, isagoo habeenkii dab ku dhex jira, maalintiina daruur, si uu idiin tuso jidka aad mari lahaydeen.
34 Oo Rabbigu wuu maqlay codkii erayadiinna, markaasuu cadhooday oo intuu dhaartay ayuu yidhi,
Yahweh heard what they said, and he became angry. He solemnly declared,
35 Hubaal dadka qarnigan sharka ah midkoodna ma arki doono dalka wanaagsan oo aan ku dhaartay inaan awowayaashiin siinayo,
‘Caleb, the son of Jephunneh, will enter the land. He has obeyed me completely. So I will give to him and to his descendants [some of] the land that he explored. He is the only one of all you people who will enter that land. None of these evil people will ever see that good land which I solemnly promised to give to your ancestors.’
36 Kaaleeb ina Yefunneh mooyaane; isagu wuu arki doonaa, oo waxaan dhulkii uu cag mariyey siin doonaa isaga iyo carruurtiisaba, maxaa yeelay, isagu dhammaan ahaanba ayuu Rabbiga u raacay.
37 Oo weliba Rabbigu wuu ii cadhooday idinka aawadiin oo wuxuu yidhi, Adiguna halkaas geli maysid.
But because of [what] your ancestors [did], Yahweh was also angry with me. He said to me, ‘You also will not enter that land.
38 Yashuuca ina Nuun oo hortaada taagan ayaa halkaas geli doona. Isaga dhiirrigeli, waayo, reer binu Israa'iil ayuu dalkaas dhaxalsiin doonaa.
Joshua, the son of Nun, who is your helper, will enter it. Encourage him, because he is the one who will enable you Israeli people to occupy that land.’
39 Oo weliba yaryarkiinna, oo aad tidhaahdeen, Waa la dhacayaa, iyo carruurtiinna maanta aan khayr iyo shar kala aqoon, iyagu dalkaas way geli doonaan, oo iyagaan siin doonaa, iyana way hantiyi doonaan.
Then Yahweh said to all of us, ‘You said that your children would be captured by your enemies. Because they are very young, they do not yet know what is good and what is evil. But they are the ones to whom I will give that land, and they will enter it and occupy it.
40 Laakiinse idinku noqda oo u guura cidladii xagga jidka Badda Cas loo maro.
But as for you, turn around and go back into the desert, toward the (Red Sea/Gulf of Aqaba).’
41 Markaasaad jawaabteen oo waxaad igu tidhaahdeen, Rabbiga waannu ku dembaabnay, haddaba waannu tegaynaa oo waxaannu u dagaallamaynaa sidii Rabbiga Ilaahayaga ahu nagu amray. Oo midkiin waluba wuxuu dhexda ku xidhay hubkiisii dagaalka, oo waxaad mooddeen inay fudud dahay inaad buurta u kacdaan.
Then your ancestors replied, ‘We have sinned; we have disobeyed Yahweh. So we will go and attack [the people who live in] that land, just like Yahweh our God commanded us to do.’ And each of their men put on his weapons, and they thought that it would be easy to invade the hilly region.
42 Markaasaa Rabbigu igu yidhi, Waxaad iyaga ku tidhaahdaa, Kor ha u kicina, hana dagaallamina, waayo, anigu idinkuma dhex jiro, haddii kalese waxaa laydinku layn doonaa cadaawayaashiinna hortooda.
But Yahweh said to me, ‘Tell them, “Do not go up there and attack those people, because I will not go with you. If you go, your enemies will defeat you.”’
43 Oo sidaasaan idinkula hadlay, laakiinse ima aydaan maqlin, illowse amarkii Rabbiga ayaad ku caasiyowdeen, waadna kibirteen oo buurtaad u kacdeen.
So I told that to your ancestors, but they would not heed what I said. They [again] rebelled against what Yahweh commanded them to do. Their soldiers proudly/arrogantly marched up into that hilly region.
44 Oo reer Amorkii buurta degganaa ayaa idinku soo baxay oo idiin soo eryaday sida shinnida, oo waxay idinku jebiyeen Seciir iyo tan iyo Xormaah.
Then the men of the Amor people-group who lived in that region came out [of their towns] and attacked those soldiers. They pursued your ancestors’ soldiers like [a swarm of] bees pursues people, and they pursued them [south] from the Edom area and defeated them at Hormah [city].
45 Markaasaad soo noqoteen oo Rabbiga hortiisa ku ooydeen, laakiinse Rabbigu codkiinnii ma uu maqlin, dhegna idiinma uu dhigin.
So your ancestors went back [to Kadesh-Barnea] and cried out to request Yahweh [to help them], but he did not heed them. He did not pay any attention to them [DOU].
46 Sidaas daraaddeed Qaadeesh ayaad maalmo badan degganaydeen intii ay ahaayeen maalmihii aad halkaas degganaydeen.
So we stayed there at Kadesh-Barnea for a long time.”
