Deuteronomy 16
1 “[Each year] honor Yahweh our God by celebrating the Passover [Festival] in the month of Abib [in early spring]. It was on a night in that month that Yahweh rescued your ancestors from Egypt.
Sababii Waaqayyo Waaqni kee jiʼa Abiibii keessa halkaniin Gibxii si baaseef jiʼa Abiibii kabaji; Faasiikaa Waaqayyo Waaqa keetiis ayyaaneffadhu.
2 [In order to celebrate that festival], go to the place that Yahweh will choose [for you to worship him], and offer [there one young animal] from your cattle or your sheep to be the Passover sacrifice, to honor Yahweh [MTY].
Iddoo Waaqayyo Waaqni kee akka Maqaan isaa achi jiraatuuf filatutti bushaayee kee yookaan loon kee keessaa Faasiikaa godhii Waaqayyo Waaqa keetiif qali.
3 [When you eat the Passover meal], the bread that you eat must not have yeast in it. You must eat this kind of bread, which will be called the bread of suffering/misery, for seven days. This is to help you to remember all during the time that you are alive that when your ancestors left Egypt, [where they were suffering because they were slaves], they left very quickly. [They did not put in yeast and wait for the dough to swell up].
Ati akka bara jireenya keetii guutuu guyyaa itti Gibxii baate sana yaadattuuf Faasiikaa sana buddeena raacitii qabu wajjin hin nyaatin; garuu ati sababii ariitiidhaan biyya Gibxiitii baateef bultii torba maxinoo jechuunis buddeena rakkinaa nyaadhu.
4 [During that festival], you must not have any yeast in any house in your land for seven days. Furthermore, the meat [of the animals] that you sacrifice on the evening of the first day [of the Passover Festival must be eaten during that night]; do not allow any of it to remain until the next day.
Guutummaa biyya keetii keessatti bultii torbaaf raacitiin hin argamin. Foon ati galgala guyyaa jalqabaatti aarsaa gootu hamma bariitti hin turin.
5 “To honor Yahweh our God, you must offer the Passover sacrifice only at the place that he chooses for you [to worship him]; do not offer that sacrifice in any other town in the land that Yahweh is giving to you. Offer that sacrifice when the sun is setting, at the same time of day that your ancestors [started to] leave Egypt.
Ati magaalaa Waaqayyo Waaqni kee siif kennu kamitti iyyuu Faasiikaa hin dhiʼeessin;
garuu lafa inni iddoo jireenya Maqaa isaatiif filatutti galgala yeroo biiftuun gad buututti yaadannoo guyyaa itti biyya Gibxiitii baateetiif aarsaa Faasiikaa dhiʼeessi.
7 Boil [the meat] and eat it at the place [of worship] that Yahweh our God chooses. The next morning, you may return to your tents.
Aarsaa Faasiikaa sana waadiitii iddoo Waaqayyo Waaqni kee filatutti nyaadhu. Ergasiis ganama gara dunkaana keetiitti deebiʼi.
8 Each day for six days the bread that you eat must have no yeast in it. On the seventh day, you must all gather to worship Yahweh our God. [It will be a day of rest]; you must not do any work on that day.”
Bultii jaʼa maxinoo nyaadhu; bultii torbaffaatti immoo Waaqayyo Waaqa keetiif wal gaʼii qulqulluu godhi; hojii illee hin hojjetin.
9 “[Each year], from the day that you start to harvest your grain, count seven weeks.
Gaafa midhaan kee haamuu jalqabdee kaasii torbanoota torba lakkaaʼi.
10 Then, to honor Yahweh our God, celebrate the Harvest Festival. Do that by bringing to him an offering [of grain]. Yahweh has blessed you [by causing it to grow in your fields during that year]. If you had a big harvest, bring a big offering. If you had a small harvest, bring a small offering.
Ergasiis akkuma baayʼina eebba Waaqayyo Waaqni kee siif kenneetti kennaa fedhiidhaan kennitu dhiʼeessuudhaan Ayyaana Torbanootaa Waaqayyo Waaqa keetiif ayyaaneffadhu.
11 [Each married couple] should be joyful in the presence of Yahweh. Their children, their servants, the descendants of Levi [who are in that town], and the foreigners, orphans, and widows [who are living among you], should also be joyful. Bring those offerings to the place of worship that Yahweh will choose.
Ati, ilmaanii fi intallan kee, hojjettoonni kee dhiironnii fi dubartiin, Lewwonni magaalaawwan kee keessa jiraatan, alagoonni, ijoolleen abbaa hin qabnee fi niitonni dhirsoonni isaanii irraa duʼan kanneen isin gidduu jiraatan achitti, iddoo Waaqayyo Waaqni kee iddoo jireenya Maqaa isaatiif filatutti fuula isaa duratti ni gammaddu.
12 [“When you celebrate these festivals] by obeying these commands, remember that your ancestors were previously slaves in Egypt.”
Ati akka Gibxitti garba turte yaadadhu; seera kanas akka gaariitti eegi.
13 “[Each year], after you have threshed all your grain and pressed [the juice from] all your grapes, you must celebrate the Festival of [Living in Temporary] Shelters for seven days.
Erga oobdii fi iddoo cuunfaa wayinii keetii irraa oomisha kee galfattee booddee guyyaa torbaaf Ayyaana Daasii ayyaaneffadhu.
14 [Each married couple] along with their children, their servants, the descendants of Levi [who are in that town], and the foreigners, orphans, and widows [who are living among you], should be joyful in the presence of Yahweh.
Ati, ilmaanii fi intallan kee, tajaajiltoonni kee dhiironnii fi dubartoonni, Lewwonni, alagoonni, ijoolleen abbootii hin qabnee fi dubartoonni dhirsoonni isaanii irraa duʼan kanneen magaalaawwan kee keessa jiraatan ayyaana kee irratti gammadaa.
15 Honor Yahweh our God by celebrating this festival for seven days in the place that Yahweh chooses [for you to worship him]. You should all be joyful, because Yahweh will have blessed your harvest and all the other work that you have done.
Ayyaana kanas iddoo Waaqayyo filatutti bultii torbaaf Waaqayyo Waaqa keetiif ayyaaneffadhu. Sababii Waaqayyo Waaqni kee oomisha keetii fi hojii harka keetii hundaan si eebbisuuf gammachuun kee guutuu taʼa.
16 “So, each year all of you Israeli men must gather [with your families] to worship Yahweh our God at the place that he will choose, [to celebrate three festivals]: The Passover Festival, the Harvest Festival, and the Festival of Living in Temporary Shelters. Each of you men must bring [LIT] an offering [for Yahweh to these festivals]
Dhiirri kee hundi waggaatti yeroo sadii iddoo inni filatutti fuula Waaqayyo Waaqa keetii duratti dhiʼaachuu qabu; kunis yeroo Ayyaana Maxinoo, yeroo Ayyaana Torbanootaatii fi yeroo Ayyaana Daasii ti. Namni tokko iyyuu harka duwwaa fuula Waaqayyoo duratti hin dhiʼaatin:
17 in proportion to the blessings that Yahweh has given you [during that year].”
Tokkoon tokkoon keessan akkuma baayʼina eebba Waaqayyo Waaqni keessan isiniif kenneetti kennaa fidaa.
18 “Appoint judges and other officials throughout your tribes, in all the towns [in the land] that Yahweh our God is giving to you. They must judge people fairly/justly.
Magaalaawwan Waaqayyo Waaqni kee siif kennu hundattuu gosoota kee hundaaf abbootii seeraatii fi qondaaltota muudi; isaanis dhugaadhaan namootaaf murtii kennu.
19 They must not judge unjustly. They must not favor one person more than another. The judges must not accept bribes, because if a judge accepts a bribe, even if he is wise and honest, it will be very difficult for him to judge fairly [IDM]; [he will do what the person who gave him the bribe wants him to do and declare that] the righteous/innocent people [must be punished].
Ati murtii hin jalʼisin yookaan nama wal hin caalchisin. Mattaʼaa hin fudhatin; mattaʼaan ija ogeeyyii jaamsee dubbii qajeeltotaas jalʼisa.
20 You must be completely fair and just [DOU], in order that you will enter and occupy the land that Yahweh our God is giving to you.”
Ati akka lubbuudhaan jiraattee lafa Waaqayyo Waaqni kee siif kennu dhaaltuuf murtii qajeelaa qofa duukaa buʼi.
21 “When you make an altar to worship Yahweh our God, do not put next to it any wooden statue [that represents] the goddess Asherah.
Iddoo aarsaa kan Waaqayyo Waaqa keetiif dhaabde bira siidaa Aasheeraa hin dhaabin.
22 And do not set up any [stone] pillar [to worship any idol, because] Yahweh hates them.”
Soodduu dhagaa kan Waaqayyo Waaqni kee jibbu ofii keetiif hin dhaabbatin.
