< Deuteronomy 1 >

1 These be the words which Moses spake unto all Israel beyond Jordan in the wilderness, in the Arabah over against Suph, between Paran, and Tophel, and Laban, and Hazeroth, and Di-zahab.
Dubbiin kun dubbii Museen yeroo isaan gammoojjii gama baʼa Yordaanositti, Arabbaa fuullee Suufitti argamu sana keessa, Phaaraanii fi Toofel, Laabaan, Haxerootii fi Diizaahaab gidduu turanitti Israaʼeloota hundatti dubbatee dha.
2 It is eleven days’ [journey] from Horeb by the way of mount Seir unto Kadesh-barnea.
Kooreebii karaa Tulluu Seeʼiiriin Qaadesh Barnee gaʼuuf guyyoota kudha tokko fudhata.
3 And it came to pass in the fortieth year, in the eleventh month, on the first day of the month, that Moses spake unto the children of Israel, according unto all that the LORD had given him in commandment unto them;
Museenis waggaa afurtamaffaa keessa guyyaa tokkoffaa jiʼa kudha tokkoffaatti waan Waaqayyo waaʼee isaanii isa ajaje hunda Israaʼelootatti hime.
4 after he had smitten Sihon the king of the Amorites, which dwelt in Heshbon, and Og the king of Bashan, which dwelt in Ashtaroth, at Edrei:
Kunis erga inni Sihoon mootii Amoorotaa kan Heshboon bulchaa ture moʼatee Oogi mootii Baashaan kan Ashtaaroti bulchaa ture illee Edreyiitti moʼatee booddee dha.
5 beyond Jordan, in the land of Moab, began Moses to declare this law, saying,
Baʼa Yordaanositti biyya Moʼaab keessatti Museen akkana jedhee seera kana ibsuu jalqabe:
6 The LORD our God spake unto us in Horeb, saying, Ye have dwelt long enough in this mountain:
Waaqayyo Waaqni keenya Kooreebitti akkana nuun jedhe; “Isin tulluu kana bira yeroo dheeraa turtaniirtu.
7 turn you, and take your journey, and go to the hill country of the Amorites, and unto all [the places] nigh thereunto, in the Arabah, in the hill country, and in the lowland, and in the South, and by the sea shore, the land of the Canaanites, and Lebanon, as far as the great river, the river Euphrates.
Qubata buqqisaa kaʼaatii gara biyya gaaraa Amoorotaatti deemsa keessan itti fufaa; ergasiis saboota naannoo Arabbaatti argaman hunda keessa, biyya tulluuwwanii keessa, biyyoota gama dhiʼaatiin cina tulluuwwaniitti argaman keessa, Negeebii fi qarqara galaanaa, biyya Kanaʼaanotaatii fi Libaanoon keessa hamma laga Efraaxiis guddichaatti argaman keessa deemaa.
8 Behold, I have set the land before you: go in and possess the land which the LORD sware unto your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give unto them and to their seed after them.
Kunoo, ani biyya kana isiniif kenneera. Biyya Waaqayyo abbootii keessaniif jechuunis Abrahaamiif, Yisihaaqiif, Yaaqoobii fi sanyii isaanii warra isaaniin duubaatiif kennuuf kakate sanatti galaatii dhaalaa.”
9 And I spake unto you at that time, saying, I am not able to bear you myself alone:
Ani yeroo sanatti akkanan isiniin jedhe; “Ani kophaa koo isin baachuu hin dandaʼu.
10 The LORD your God hath multiplied you, and, behold, ye are this day as the stars of heaven for multitude.
Waaqayyo Waaqni keessan isin baayʼiseera; kunoo, isin harʼa akkuma urjiiwwan samii baayʼattaniirtu.
11 The LORD, the God of your fathers, make you a thousand times so many more as ye are, and bless you, as he hath promised you!
Waaqayyo Waaqni abbootii keessanii yeroo kuma isin haa baayʼisu; akkuma abdii kenne sanattis isin haa eebbisu!
12 How can I myself alone bear your cumbrance, and your burden, and your strife?
Ani garuu akkamitti kophaa koo rakkina keessan, baʼaa keessanii fi wal mormii keessan baachuu dandaʼaa?
13 Take you wise men, and understanding, and known, according to your tribes, and I will make them heads over you.
Tokkoo tokkoo gosoota keessanii keessaa namoota ogeeyyii, hubattootaa fi kabajamoo filadhaa; anis isin irratti bulchitoota isaan nan taasisa.”
14 And ye answered me, and said, The thing which thou hast spoken is good [for us] to do.
Isinis, “Wanni ati dhiʼeessite gaarii dha” jettanii naaf deebiftan.
15 So I took the heads of your tribes, wise men, and known, and made them heads over you, captains of thousands, and captains of hundreds, and captains of fifties, and captains of tens, and officers, according to your tribes.
Ani hangafoota gosoota keessanii jechuunis namoota ogeeyyii fi kabajamoo fudhadhee akka isaan ajajjuuwwan kumaa, ajajjuuwwan dhibbaa, ajajjuuwwan shantamaatii fi ajajjuuwwan kudhanii taʼanii isin irratti aangoo qabaatan nan muude.
16 And I charged your judges at that time, saying, Hear [the causes] between your brethren, and judge righteously between a man and his brother, and the stranger that is with him.
Anis yeroo sanatti akkana jedhee abbootii murtii keessan nan ajaje; “Mormii obboloota keessan gidduutti kaʼu dhagaʼaa; yoo wal mormiin kaʼu sun Israaʼeloota obboloota gidduutti yookaan nama Israaʼel tokkoo fi alagaa tokko gidduutti taʼe murtii qajeelaa kennaa.
17 Ye shall not respect persons in judgment; ye shall hear the small and the great alike; ye shall not be afraid of the face of man; for the judgment is God’s: and the cause that is too hard for you ye shall bring unto me, and I will hear it.
Murtii kennuu keessatti nama wal hin caalchisinaa; guddaas xinnaas wal qixxee dhagaʼaa. Sababii murtiin kan Waaqaa taʼeef eenyuun iyyuu hin sodaatinaa. Waan humna keessanii ol taʼe natti fidaa; anis nan ilaalaa.”
18 And I commanded you at that time all the things which ye should do.
Ani yeroo sanatti waan isin gochuu qabdan hunda isin ajajeera.
19 And we journeyed from Horeb, and went through all that great and terrible wilderness which ye saw, by the way to the hill country of the Amorites, as the LORD our God commanded us; and we came to Kadesh-barnea.
Nus ergasii akkuma Waaqayyo Waaqni keenya nu ajajetti Kooreebii kaanee gammoojjii guddaa fi sodaachisaa isin argitan sana keessa dabarree gara biyya gaaraa Amoorotaa dhaqne; akkasiinis Qaadesh Barnee geenye.
20 And I said unto you, Ye are come unto the hill country of the Amorites, which the LORD our God giveth unto us.
Anis akkana isiniin jedhe; “Isin biyya gaaraa Amoorotaa kan Waaqayyo Waaqni keenya nuu kennu geessaniirtu.
21 Behold, the LORD thy God hath set the land before thee: go up, take possession, as the LORD, the God of thy fathers, hath spoken unto thee; fear not, neither be dismayed.
Kunoo, Waaqayyo Waaqni keessan biyyattii isiniif kenneera. Dhaqaatii akkuma Waaqayyo Waaqni abbootii keessanii isinitti hime sanatti ishee dhaalaa; hin sodaatinaa; abdiis hin kutatinaa.”
22 And ye came near unto me every one of you, and said, Let us send men before us, that they may search the land for us, and bring us word again of the way by which we must go up, and the cities unto which we shall come.
Ergasiis hundi keessan na bira dhuftanii, “Akka isaan biyyattii nuu basaasaniif duraan dursinee namoota erganna; isaanis waaʼee karaa achi nu geessuutii fi magaalaawwan nu itti dhufnuu oduu nuu fidu” jettan.
23 And the thing pleased me well: and I took twelve men of you, one man for every tribe:
Yaadni sunis gaarii natti fakkaate; ani kudha lamaan keessan jechuunis tokkoo tokkoo gosaa keessaa nama tokko nan filadhe.
24 and they turned and went up into the mountain, and came unto the valley of Eshcol, and spied it out.
Isaanis kaʼanii biyya gaaraatti ol baʼanii Sulula Eshkool gaʼanii biyyattii basaasan.
25 And they took of the fruit of the land in their hands, and brought it down unto us, and brought us word again, and said, It is a good land which the LORD our God giveth unto us.
Ija biyyattii keessaas waa fidanii dhufanii, “Biyyi Waaqayyo Waaqni keenya nuuf kennu kun gaarii dha” jedhanii nutti himan.
26 Yet ye would not go up, but rebelled against the commandment of the LORD your God:
Isin garuu dhaquu diddanii ajaja Waaqayyo Waaqa keessaniitti finciltan.
27 and ye murmured in your tents, and said, Because the LORD hated us, he hath brought us forth out of the land of Egypt, to deliver us into the hand of the Amorites, to destroy us.
Dunkaana keessan keessattis akkana jettanii guungumtan; “Waaqayyo nu jibba; kanaafuu biyya Gibxiitii nu baasuun isaatuu akka isaan nu balleessaniif harka Amoorotaatti dabarsee nu kennuuf.
28 Whither are we going up? our brethren have made our heart to melt, saying, The people is greater and taller than we; the cities are great and fenced up to heaven; and moreover we have seen the sons of the Anakim there.
Egaa nu eessa dhaquu dandeenya? Obboloonni keenya, ‘Jarri nu caalaa jajjaboo fi hojjaan isaanii dhedheeraa dha; magaalaawwan isaaniis gurguddaa fi dallaawwan samii gaʼaniin marfamaniiru; kana biratti immoo ilmaan Anaaq argineerra’ jedhanii nu sodaachisan.”
29 Then I said unto you, Dread not, neither be afraid of them.
Anis akkanan isiniin jedhe; “Hin rifatinaa; isaan hin sodaatinaa.
30 The LORD your God who goeth before you, he shall fight for you, according to all that he did for you in Egypt before your eyes;
Waaqayyo Waaqni keessan kan fuula keessan dura deemu kun akkuma ija keessan duratti biyya Gibxi keessatti isinii godhe sana isiniif ni lola;
31 and in the wilderness, where thou hast seen how that the LORD thy God bare thee, as a man doth bear his son, in all the way that ye went, until ye came unto this place.
gammoojjii keessattis akkasuma. Hamma as geessanittis karaa deemtan hundatti akkamitti akka Waaqayyo Waaqni keessan akkuma abbaan ilma isaa baatutti isin baate argitaniirtu.”
32 Yet in this thing ye did not believe the LORD your God,
Taʼus isin Waaqayyo Waaqa keessan
33 who went before you in the way, to seek you out a place to pitch your tents in, in fire by night, to shew you by what way ye should go, and in the cloud by day.
isa iddoo isin qubattan barbaaduu fi daandii isin deemuu qabdan isin argisiisuudhaaf jedhee halkan ibiddaan, guyyaa immoo duumessaan isin dura deemee isin qajeelchaa ture hin amananne.
34 And the LORD heard the voice of your words, and was wroth, and sware, saying,
Waaqayyos yommuu waan isin jettan dhagaʼetti dheekkamee akkana jedhee kakate:
35 Surely there shall not one of these men of this evil generation see the good land, which I sware to give unto your fathers,
“Dhaloota hamaa kana keessaa namni tokko iyyuu biyya gaarii ani akka abbootii keessaniif kennu kakuu gale sana hin argu;
36 save Caleb the son of Jephunneh, he shall see it; and to him will I give the land that he hath trodden upon, and to his children: because he hath wholly followed the LORD.
Kaaleb ilma Yefunee sana malee kan argu hin jiru. Inni biyya sana ni arga; sababii inni garaa guutuudhaan Waaqayyo duukaa buʼeef ani lafa inni miilla isaa irra dhaabbate sana isaa fi sanyii isaatiif nan kenna.”
37 Also the LORD was angry with me for your sakes, saying, Thou also shalt not go in thither:
Sababii keessaniif Waaqayyo natti illee dheekkamee akkana jedhe; “Ati iyyuu itti hin galtu.
38 Joshua the son of Nun, which standeth before thee, he shall go in thither: encourage thou him; for he shall cause Israel to inherit it.
Gargaaraan kee Iyyaasuun ilmi Nuuni garuu itti gala. Inni waan Israaʼeloota biyyattii dhaalchisuuf isa jajjabeessi.
39 Moreover your little ones, which ye said should be a prey, and your children, which this day have no knowledge of good or evil, they shall go in thither, and unto them will I give it, and they shall possess it.
Daaʼimman isin ni boojiʼaman jettan, ilmaan keessan kanneen waan tolaa fi hamaa gargar baasanii hin beekne biyya sanatti ni galu. Ani isaaniifan kenna; isaanis ni dhaalu.
40 But as for you, turn you, and take your journey into the wilderness by the way to the Red Sea.
Isin garuu duubatti deebiʼaatii daandii gara Galaana Diimaatti geessu qabadhaatii gammoojjiitti qajeelaa.”
41 Then ye answered and said unto me, We have sinned against the LORD, we will go up and fight, according to all that the LORD our God commanded us. And ye girded on every man his weapons of war, and were forward to go up into the mountain.
Isinis, “Nu Waaqayyotti cubbuu hojjenneerra. Dhaqnee akkuma Waaqayyo Waaqni keenya nu ajajetti lolla” jettanii deebiftan. Biyya gaaraa dhaquun waan salphaa isinitti fakkaatee akkasiin tokkoon tokkoon keessan miʼa lolaa qabattanii kaatan.
42 And the LORD said unto me, Say unto them, Go not up, neither fight; for I am not among you; lest ye be smitten before your enemies.
Waaqayyo garuu, “‘Waan ani isin wajjin hin jirreef lolaaf hin baʼinaa. Isin diinota keessaniin ni moʼatamtu’ jedhii isaanitti himi” naan jedhe.
43 So I spake unto you, and ye hearkened not; but ye rebelled against the commandment of the LORD, and were presumptuous, and went up into the mountain.
Anis akkasuman isinitti hime; isin garuu na hin dhageenye. Ajaja Waaqayyootti finciltanii of tuulummaa keessaniin biyya gaaraatti duultan.
44 And the Amorites, which dwelt in that mountain, came out against you, and chased you, as bees do, and beat you down in Seir, even unto Hormah.
Amooronni gaarran irra jiraatan isinitti dhufan; isaanis akkuma tuuta kanniisaatti baʼanii isin gugsan; Seeʼiirii hamma Hormaatti isin dhaʼan.
45 And ye returned and wept before the LORD; but the LORD hearkened not to your voice, nor gave ear unto you.
Isin deebitanii dhuftanii fuula Waaqayyoo duratti boossan; inni garuu booʼicha keessan hin dhageenye; gurra isaas isiniif hin kennine.
46 So ye abode in Kadesh many days, according unto the days that ye abode [there].
Akka yeroo isin achi jiraattaniitti, guyyoonni isin Qaadesh keessa jiraattan baayʼee dha.
