Keessa Deebii 26

1 Ati yommuu biyya Waaqayyo Waaqni kee dhaala godhee siif kennutti galtee dhaaltee keessa qubattutti,

It shall be, when you have come in to the land which the LORD your God gives you for an inheritance, possess it, and dwell in it,

2 midhaan lafa biyya Waaqayyo Waaqni kee siif kennu irraa argattu hunda irraa mataa isaa fuudhiitii guuboo keessa kaaʼi. Ergasiis iddoo Waaqayyo Waaqni kee iddoo jireenya Maqaa isaatiif filatu dhaqi;

that you shall take some of the first of all the fruit of the ground, which you shall bring in from your land that the LORD your God gives you. You shall put it in a basket, and shall go to the place which the LORD your God shall choose to cause his name to dwell there.

3 luba yeroo sanatti hojii irra jiruun, “Ani biyya Waaqayyo akka nuu kennu abbootii keenyaaf waadaa galetti dhufuu koo harʼa fuula Waaqayyo Waaqa keetii duratti nan labsa” jedhi.

You shall come to the priest who shall be in those days, and tell him, “I profess today to the LORD your God, that I have come to the land which the LORD swore to our fathers to give us.”

4 Lubni sunis guuboo sana si harkaa fuudhee iddoo aarsaa Waaqayyo Waaqa keetii dura ni kaaʼa.

The priest shall take the basket out of your hand, and set it down before the LORD your God’s altar.

5 Atis Waaqayyo Waaqa kee duratti akkana jettee ni labsita; “Abbaan koo nama biyya Arraam kan asii fi achi godaanu ture; innis namoota xinnoo fudhatee Gibxitti gad buʼe; achis jiraatee saba guddaa, humna qabeessaa fi akka malee baayʼee taʼe.

You shall answer and say before the LORD your God, “My father was a Syrian ready to perish. He went down into Egypt, and lived there, few in number. There he became a great, mighty, and populous nation.

6 Warri Gibxi garuu nu hacuucuu fi nu dhiphisuudhaan hojii jabaa nutti feʼan.

The Egyptians mistreated us, afflicted us, and imposed hard labour on us.

7 Nu ergasii gara Waaqayyo Waaqa abbootii keenyaatti iyyanne; Waaqayyos sagalee keenya dhagaʼee rakkina keenya, dadhabbii keenyaa fi hacuucamuu keenya arge.

Then we cried to the LORD, the God of our fathers. The LORD heard our voice, and saw our affliction, our toil, and our oppression.

8 Kanaafuu Waaqayyo harka jabaa fi irree diriirfameen, sodaachisa guddaadhaan, mallattoo fi dinqiidhaan Gibxii nu baase.

The LORD brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand, with an outstretched arm, with great terror, with signs, and with wonders;

9 Iddoo kanattis nu fidee biyya aannanii fi damma baaftu kana nuuf kenne;

and he has brought us into this place, and has given us this land, a land flowing with milk and honey.

10 ammas yaa Waaqayyo kunoo, ani midhaan lafa ati naa kennitee irraa mataa isaa fideera.” Guuboo sanas fuula Waaqayyo Waaqa keetii dura kaaʼiitii fuula isaa duratti gad jedhii sagadi.

Now, behold, I have brought the first of the fruit of the ground, which you, the LORD, have given me.” You shall set it down before the LORD your God, and worship before the LORD your God.

11 Ati, Lewwonnii fi alagoonni gidduu kee jiraatan waan gaarii Waaqayyo Waaqni kee sii fi maatii keetiif kenne hundaan gammadaa.

You shall rejoice in all the good which the LORD your God has given to you, and to your house, you, and the Levite, and the foreigner who is amongst you.

12 Yommuu waggaa sadaffaatti jechuunis waggaa itti kennaa kudhan keessaa tokko baafamutti midhaan kee irraa erga kennaa kudhan keessaa tokko baaftee raawwatee booddee akka isaan magaalaawwan kee keessatti nyaatanii quufaniif Lewwotaaf, alagootaaf, ijoollee abbaa hin qabnee fi haadhota hiyyeessaatiif kenni.

When you have finished tithing all the tithe of your increase in the third year, which is the year of tithing, then you shall give it to the Levite, to the foreigner, to the fatherless, and to the widow, that they may eat within your gates and be filled.

13 Ergasii Waaqayyo Waaqa keetiin akkana jedhi; “Ani akkuma ajaja kee kan ati na ajajje hundaatti qooda qulqulluu mana kootii baasee Lewwotaaf, alagootaaf, ijoollee abbaa hin qabnee fi haadhota hiyyeessaatiif kenneera. Ani ajajawwan kee irraa hin gorre yookaan tokkoo isaanii illee hin daganne.

You shall say before the LORD your God, “I have put away the holy things out of my house, and also have given them to the Levite, to the foreigner, to the fatherless, and to the widow, according to all your commandment which you have commanded me. I have not transgressed any of your commandments, neither have I forgotten them.

14 Ani yeroon gadda irra tures kutaa qulqulluu sana irraa homaa hin nyaanne; yookaan ani yeroon xuraaʼetti isa irraa waan tokko illee hin fuune; warra duʼaniifis hin dhiʼeessine; ani Waaqayyo Waaqa kootiif ajajameera; waan ati na ajajje hundas hojjedheera.

I have not eaten of it in my mourning, neither have I removed any of it while I was unclean, nor given of it for the dead. I have listened to the LORD my God’s voice. I have done according to all that you have commanded me.

15 Samii irraa, iddoo jireenya keetii qulqulluu irraa gad ilaali; saba kee Israaʼelii fi biyya akkuma abbootii keenyaaf waadaa galtetti nuu kennite kan aannanii fi dammi keessaa burqu kana eebbisi.”

Look down from your holy habitation, from heaven, and bless your people Israel, and the ground which you have given us, as you swore to our fathers, a land flowing with milk and honey.”

16 Waaqayyo Waaqni kee akka ati ajajawwanii fi seerawwan kanneen eegdu harʼa si ajaja; ati akka garaa kee guutuu fi lubbuu kee guutuudhaan isaan eegdu of eeggadhu.

Today the LORD your God commands you to do these statutes and ordinances. You shall therefore keep and do them with all your heart and with all your soul.

17 Ati akka Waaqayyo Waaqa kee taʼee fi akka karaa isaa irra deddeebitu, akka qajeelchawwan isaa, ajajawwanii fi seerawwan isaa eegdee isaaf ajajamtu harʼa dubbatteerta.

You have declared today that the LORD is your God, and that you would walk in his ways, keep his statutes, his commandments, and his ordinances, and listen to his voice.

18 Waaqayyos akkuma abdachiise sanatti akka ati saba isaatii fi qabeenya isaa taatee ajajawwan isaa hunda eegdu harʼa dubbateera.

The LORD has declared today that you are a people for his own possession, as he has promised you, and that you should keep all his commandments.

19 Inni akka saboota uume hundaan olitti galataan, maqaa fi ulfinaan ol si kaasuu fi akkuma waadaa gale sanaatti akka ati Waaqayyo Waaqa keetiif saba qulqulluu taatu dubbateera.

He will make you high above all nations that he has made, in praise, in name, and in honour, and that you may be a holy people to the LORD your God, as he has spoken.
