Deuteronomy 8
1 You must carefully follow every commandment I am giving you today, so that you may live and multiply, and enter and possess the land that the LORD swore to give your fathers.
Ny lalàna rehetra izay andidiako anao anio dia tandremo harahinareo, mba ho velona ianareo ka hihamaro ary hiditra sady handova ny tany izay nianianan’ i Jehovah tamin’ ny razanareo homena azy.
2 Remember that these forty years the LORD your God led you all the way in the wilderness, so that He might humble you and test you in order to know what was in your heart, whether or not you would keep His commandments.
Ary tsarovy ny lalana rehetra izay nitondran’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrao anao tany an-efitra izao efa-polo taona izao, hampanetry tena anao sy hizaha toetra anao ary hahalala izay ao am-ponao, na hitandrina ny didiny ianao, na tsia.
3 He humbled you, and in your hunger He gave you manna to eat, which neither you nor your fathers had known, so that you might understand that man does not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of the LORD.
Dia nampanetry tena anao Izy ka namela anao ho noana, dia nanome anao ny mana hohaninao, izay tsy fantatrao na ny razanao, hampahafantarany anao fa tsy mofo ihany no iveloman’ ny olona; fa izay rehetra aloaky ny vavan’ i Jehovah no iveloman’ ny olona.
4 Your clothing did not wear out and your feet did not swell during these forty years.
Ny fitafianao teny aminao tsy rovitra, ary ny tongotrao tsy nivonto izao efa-polo taona izao.
5 So know in your heart that just as a man disciplines his son, so the LORD your God disciplines you.
Koa aoka ho fantatrao amin’ ny fonao, fa tahaka ny fananaran’ ny olona ny zanany no fananaran’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrao anao.
6 Therefore you shall keep the commandments of the LORD your God, walking in His ways and fearing Him.
Ary tandremo ny didin’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrao, mba handehananao amin’ ny lalany sy hatahoranao Azy.
7 For the LORD your God is bringing you into a good land, a land of brooks and fountains and springs that flow through the valleys and hills;
Fa Jehovah Andriamanitrao efa hampiditra anao any amin’ ny tany soa, dia tany misy renirano sy loharano ary rano lalina eny amin’ ny lohasaha sy ny tendrombohitra,
8 a land of wheat, barley, vines, fig trees, and pomegranates; a land of olive oil and honey;
tany misy vary tritika sy vary hordea sy voaloboka sy aviavy ary ampongabendanitra, tany misy hazo oliva sy tantely,
9 a land where you will eat food without scarcity, where you will lack nothing; a land whose rocks are iron and whose hills are ready to be mined for copper.
tany izay hihinananao hanina amin’ ny fanaranam-po, sady tsy hanan-java-mahory akory eo ianao, tany misy vy ny vato ao aminy, ary ao amin’ ny tendrombohiny no hihadianao varahina.
10 When you eat and are satisfied, you are to bless the LORD your God for the good land that He has given you.
Ary rehefa nihinana ianao ka voky ary misaotra an’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrao noho ny tany soa izay nomeny anao,
11 Be careful not to forget the LORD your God by failing to keep His commandments and ordinances and statutes, which I am giving you this day.
dia mitandrema, fandrao hadinoinao Jehovah Andriamanitrao, ka tsy tandremanao ny didiny sy ny fitsipiny ary ny lalàny, izay andidiako anao anio;
12 Otherwise, when you eat and are satisfied, when you build fine houses in which to dwell,
fandrao, rehefa nihinana ianao ka voky ary nanao trano tsara ka mitoetra ao,
13 and when your herds and flocks grow large and your silver and gold increase and all that you have is multiplied,
ary mihamaro ny ombinao sy ny ondry aman’ osinao, ary mitombo koa ny volafotsinao sy ny volamenanao, ary mitombo ny fanananao rehetra,
14 then your heart will become proud, and you will forget the LORD your God who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery.
dia hiavonavona ny fonao, ka hohadinoinao Jehovah Andriamanitrao, Izay nitondra anao nivoaka avy tany amin’ ny tany Egypta, tamin’ ny trano nahandevozana,
15 He led you through the vast and terrifying wilderness with its venomous snakes and scorpions, a thirsty and waterless land. He brought you water from the rock of flint.
Izay nitondra anao tany amin’ ny efitra lehibe sady mahatahotra, izay misy menaran’ afo sy maingoka, dia ny tany mangentana tsy misy rano, ary nampivoaka rano ho anao avy tamin’ ny vatolampy afovato,
16 He fed you in the wilderness with manna that your fathers had not known, in order to humble you and test you, so that in the end He might cause you to prosper.
Izay nanome anao mana hohanina tany an-efitra, dia zavatra tsy fantatry ny razanao, mba hampanetry tena anao sy hizaha toetra anao ary hanisy soa anao any am-parany;
17 You might say in your heart, “The power and strength of my hands have made this wealth for me.”
ary andrao ianao hanao anakampo hoe: Ny tanjako sy ny herin’ ny tanako no nahavoriako izao harena izao;
18 But remember that it is the LORD your God who gives you the power to gain wealth, in order to confirm His covenant that He swore to your fathers even to this day.
fa tsarovy Jehovah Andriamanitrao, fa Izy no manome anao hery hahavory harena, mba haoriny ny fanekeny, izay nianianany tamin’ ny razanao, tahaka ny amin’ izao anio izao.
19 If you ever forget the LORD your God and go after other gods to worship and bow down to them, I testify against you today that you will surely perish.
Fa raha manadino an’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrao mihitsy ianao ka manaraka izay andriamani-kafa sady manompo azy sy miankohoka eo anatrehany, dia milaza aminareo marimarina aho fa haringana tokoa ianareo:
20 Like the nations that the LORD has destroyed before you, so you will perish if you do not obey the LORD your God.
tahaka ny andringanana ny firenen-tsamy hafa, izay aringan’ i Jehovah eo anoloanareo, no handringanana anareo, satria tsy nihaino ny feon’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrareo ianareo.
