< Deuteronomy 1 >

1 These are the words that Moses spoke to all Israel in the wilderness east of the Jordan—in the Arabah opposite Suph—between Paran and Tophel, Laban, Hazeroth, and Dizahab.
Izao no teny izay nolazain’ i Mosesy tamin’ ny Isiraely rehetra tany an-dafin’ i Jordana, tany an-efitra, dia tany amin’ ny tani-hay tandrifin’ i Sofa, tanelanelan’ i Parana sy Tofela sy Labana sy Hazerota ary Dizahaba.
2 It is an eleven-day journey from Horeb to Kadesh-barnea by way of Mount Seir.
(lalana Iraika ambin’ ny folo andro Kadesi-barnea raha ao Horeba, raha ny lalana mahazo ny tendrombohitra Seïra no aleha.)
3 In the fortieth year, on the first day of the eleventh month, Moses proclaimed to the Israelites all that the LORD had commanded him concerning them.
Ary tamin’ ny andro voalohany tamin’ ny volana fahiraika ambin’ ny folo tamin’ ny taona fahefa-polo dia niteny tamin’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely Mosesy, araka izay rehetra efa nandidian’ i Jehovah azy holazainy aminy,
4 This was after he had defeated Sihon king of the Amorites, who lived in Heshbon, and then at Edrei had defeated Og king of Bashan, who lived in Ashtaroth.
rehefa namono an’ i Sihona, mpanjakan’ ny Amorita, ilay nonina tao Hesbona, sy Oga, mpanjakan’ i Basana, ilay nonina tao Astarta tany Edrehy, izy.
5 On the east side of the Jordan in the land of Moab, Moses began to explain this law, saying:
Tany an-dafin’ i Jordana, dia tany amin’ ny tany Moaba, no nanombohan’ i Mosesy nanazava izao lalàna izao hoe:
6 The LORD our God said to us at Horeb: “You have stayed at this mountain long enough.
Jehovah Andriamanitsika niteny tamintsika tany Horeba ka nanao hoe: Aoka izay ny itoeranareo amin’ ny tendrombohitra ity;
7 Resume your journey and go to the hill country of the Amorites; go to all the neighboring peoples in the Arabah, in the hill country, in the foothills, in the Negev, and along the seacoast to the land of the Canaanites and to Lebanon, as far as the great River Euphrates.
mihodìna ianareo, dia mandehana ka mankanesa any amin’ ny tany havoan’ ny Amorita sy any amin’ izay rehetra ao akaikiny, dia any amin’ ny tani-hay sy ny tany havoana sy ny tany lemaka amoron-tsiraka sy ny tany atsimo sy ny amoron’ ny ranomasina, dia any amin’ ny tanin’ ny Kananita sy any Libanona ka hatrany amin’ ny ony lehibe, dia ny ony Eofrata.
8 See, I have placed the land before you. Enter and possess the land that the LORD swore He would give to your fathers Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and to their descendants after them.”
Indro, efa natolotro eo anoloanareo ny tany, idiro ka lovao ny tany izay efa nianianan’ i Jehovah tamin’ ny razanareo, Abrahama sy Isaka ary Jakoba, homena azy sy ny taranany mandimby azy.
9 At that time I said to you, “I cannot carry the burden for you alone.
Ary niteny taminareo tamin’ izany andro izany aho ka nanao hoe: Tsy zakako izaho irery ny hitondra anareo;
10 The LORD your God has multiplied you, so that today you are as numerous as the stars in the sky.
Jehovah Andriamanitrareo efa nahamaro anareo, ary, indro, efa maro toy ny kintana eny amin’ ny lanitra ianareo izao.
11 May the LORD, the God of your fathers, increase you a thousand times over and bless you as He has promised.
(Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny razanareo, anie hampitombo anareo ho arivo toraka izao ka hitahy anareo, araka izay efa nolazainy taminareo!)
12 But how can I bear your troubles, burdens, and disputes all by myself?
Hataoko izaho irery ahoana no fitondra ny fahasahirananareo sy ny entanareo any ny adinareo?
13 Choose for yourselves wise, understanding, and respected men from each of your tribes, and I will appoint them as your leaders.”
Mifidiana izay lehilahy hendry sy manan-tsaina ary hita toetra amin’ ny firenenareo, ka hataoko ho lehibenareo izy.
14 And you answered me and said, “What you propose to do is good.”
Dia namaly ahy ianareo ka nanao hoe: Tsara ny teny izay nolazainao ka tokony hankatoavina.
15 So I took the leaders of your tribes, wise and respected men, and appointed them as leaders over you—as commanders of thousands, of hundreds, of fifties, and of tens, and as officers for your tribes.
Ary nalaiko ny lohan’ ny firenenareo, dia olona hendry sady hita toetra, ka nataoko mpifehy anareo, dia mpifehy arivo sy mpifehy zato sy mpifehy dimam-polo sy mpifehy folo ary mpitondra vahoaka amin’ ny firenenareo.
16 At that time I charged your judges: “Hear the disputes between your brothers, and judge fairly between a man and his brother or a foreign resident.
Dia nandidy ny mpitsara anareo tamin’ izany andro izany aho ka nanao hoe: Henoy ny adin’ ny rahalahinareo, ka tsarao marina ny olona, na ny tompon-tany, na ny vahiny eo aminy.
17 Show no partiality in judging; hear both small and great alike. Do not be intimidated by anyone, for judgment belongs to God. And bring to me any case too difficult for you, and I will hear it.”
Aza mizaha tavan’ olona amin’ ny fitsarana, fa henoy ny kely toy ny lehibe; aza matahotra olona akory, fa an’ Andriamanitra ny fitsarana; ary izay sarotra loatra aminareo dia ento etỳ amiko ka hohenoiko.
18 And at that time I commanded you all the things you were to do.
Dia nandidy anareo tamin’ izany andro izany aho ny amin’ ny zavatra rehetra izay hataonareo.
19 And just as the LORD our God had commanded us, we set out from Horeb and went toward the hill country of the Amorites, through all the vast and terrifying wilderness you have seen. When we reached Kadesh-barnea,
Ary nony niala tany Horeba isika, dia nandeha namaky ilay efitra lehibe sy mahatahotra izay hitanareo teny amin’ ny lalana mankany amin’ ny tany havoan’ ny Amorita, araka izay efa nandidian’ i Jehovah Andriamanitsika; dia tonga tao Kadesi-barnea isika.
20 I said: “You have reached the hill country of the Amorites, which the LORD our God is giving us.
Dia hoy izaho taminareo: Hianareo efa tonga eto amin’ ny tany havoan’ ny Amonita, izay omen’ i Jehovah Andriamanitsika ho antsika;
21 See, the LORD your God has placed the land before you. Go up and take possession of it as the LORD, the God of your fathers, has told you. Do not be afraid or discouraged.”
indro, efa natolotr’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrao eo anoloanao ny tany; iakaro izy ka lovao, araka izay nolazain’ i Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny razanao, taminao; aza matahotra na mivadi-po ianao.
22 Then all of you approached me and said, “Let us send men ahead of us to search out the land and bring us word of what route to follow and which cities to enter.”
Dia nanatona ahy ianareo rehetra ka nanao hoe: Aoka haniraka olona hialoha isika, mba hisafo ny tany ho antsika izy ka hitondra teny amintsika hilaza ny lalana izay halehantsika sy ny tanàna izay hiakarantsika.
23 The plan seemed good to me, so I selected twelve men from among you, one from each tribe.
Ary sitrako ny teny ka dia nifidy roa ambin’ ny folo lahy teo aminareo aho, may avy isam-pirenena;
24 They left and went up into the hill country, and came to the Valley of Eshcol and spied out the land.
ary niainga ireo ka niakatra tany amin’ ny tany havoana, dia tonga tao amin’ ny lohasaha Eskola ka nisafo ny tany;
25 They took some of the fruit of the land in their hands, carried it down to us, and brought us word: “It is a good land that the LORD our God is giving us.”
dia nangalany ny vokatry ny tany ka nentiny nidina tamintsika, dia nilaza tamintsika hoe izy: Tsara ny tany izay omen’ i Jehovah Andriamanitsika ho antsika.
26 But you were unwilling to go up; you rebelled against the command of the LORD your God.
Kanefa tsy nety niakatra ianareo, fa nandà ny tenin’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrareo.
27 You grumbled in your tents and said, “Because the LORD hates us, He has brought us out of the land of Egypt to deliver us into the hand of the Amorites to be annihilated.
Dia nimonomonona tao an-dainareo ianareo ka nanao hoe: Halan’ i Jehovah isika, no nitondrany antsika nivoaka avy tany Egypta hanolorany antsika eo an-tànan’ ny Amorita handringanana antsika.
28 Where can we go? Our brothers have made our hearts melt, saying: ‘The people are larger and taller than we are; the cities are large, with walls up to the heavens. We even saw the descendants of the Anakim there.’”
Ho aiza no hiakarantsika? Ny rahalahintsika efa nanaketraka ny fontsika tamin’ ny nanaovany hoe: Lehibe sy lava noho isika ny olona; ary ny tanàna dia lehibe sady misy mànda manakatra ny lanitra; ary efa hitanay teo koa ny taranaky ny Anakita.
29 So I said to you: “Do not be terrified or afraid of them!
Dia hoy izaho taminareo: Aza manahy, any aza matahotra azy;
30 The LORD your God, who goes before you, will fight for you, just as you saw Him do for you in Egypt
Jehovah Andriamanitrareo, Izay mandeha eo anoloanareo, Izy no hiady ho anareo, araka izay rehetra nataony ho anareo tany Egypta teo imasonareo,
31 and in the wilderness, where the LORD your God carried you, as a man carries his son, all the way by which you traveled until you reached this place.”
ary tany an-efitra, izay nahitanao ny fitondran’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrao anao tahaka ny fitondran’ ny olona ny zanany, dia teny amin’ ny lalana rehetra izay nalehanareo mandra-pahatonganareo teto amin’ ity tany ity.
32 But in spite of all this, you did not trust the LORD your God,
Kanefa, na dia nataoko aza izany teny izany, mbola tsy ninoanareo ihany Jehovah Andriamanitrareo,
33 who went before you on the journey, in the fire by night and in the cloud by day, to seek out a place for you to camp and to show you the road to travel.
Izay nandeha tamin’ ny lalana teo alohanareo hitady tany ho anareo hitobianareo, ka ny afo nony alina sy ny rahona nony antoandro no nisehoany hanoro izay lalana nety halehanareo.
34 When the LORD heard your words, He grew angry and swore an oath, saying,
Any nandre ny teninareo Jehovah, dia tezitra Izy ka nianiana hoe:
35 “Not one of the men of this evil generation shall see the good land I swore to give your fathers,
Tsy hisy olona mihitsy amin’ izao taranaka ratsy fanahy izao hahita ny tany soa izay nianianako homena ny razanareo,
36 except Caleb son of Jephunneh. He will see it, and I will give him and his descendants the land on which he has set foot, because he followed the LORD wholeheartedly.”
afa-tsy Kaleba, zanak’ i Jefone; izy no hahita azy, any izy sy ny zanany no homeko ny tany izay nodiaviny, satria efa tanteraka tamin’ ny fanarahana an’ i Jehovah izy.
37 The LORD was also angry with me on your account, and He said, “Not even you shall enter the land.
Ary izaho koa dia notezeran’ i Jehovah noho ny aminareo ka nataony hoe: Hianao koa tsy hiditra any;
38 Joshua son of Nun, who stands before you, will enter it. Encourage him, for he will enable Israel to inherit the land.
fa Josoa, zanak’ i Nona, izay mitsangana eo anatrehanao, izy no hiditra any, koa izy no ampaherezo, fa izy no hampandova ny Zanak’ Isiraely ny tany.
39 And the little ones you said would become captives—your children who on that day did not know good from evil—will enter the land that I will give them, and they will possess it.
Ary ny zanakareo madinika, izay nolazainareo fa ho babo, any ny zanakareo izay tsy mahalala ny tsara sy ny ratsy amin’ izao andro izao, dia izy no hiditra any, ary izy no homeko ny tany, ary izy no handova azy.
40 But you are to turn back and head for the wilderness along the route to the Red Sea.”
Fa ianareo kosa dia miverena, ka mandehana any an-efitra, dia any amin’ ny lalana mankany amin’ ny Ranomasina Mena.
41 “We have sinned against the LORD,” you replied. “We will go up and fight, as the LORD our God has commanded us.” Then each of you put on his weapons of war, thinking it easy to go up into the hill country.
Dia namaly ianareo ka nanao tamiko hoe: Efa nanota tamin’ i Jehovah izahay; hiakatra ihany izahay ka hiady, araka izay rehetra nandidian’ i Jehovah Andriamanitsika antsika. Dia samy nivonona tamin’ ny fiadiany avy ianareo rehetra, ka nataonareo ho tsinontsinona ny hiakatra any an-tendrombohitra.
42 But the LORD said to me, “Tell them not to go up and fight, for I am not with you to keep you from defeat by your enemies.”
Dia hoy Jehovah tamiko: Lazao aminy hoe: Aza miakatra ianareo, ary aza miady, fa tsy eo aminareo Aho; fandrao ho resy eo anoloan’ ny fahavalonareo ianareo.
43 So I spoke to you, but you would not listen. You rebelled against the command of the LORD and presumptuously went up into the hill country.
Dia niteny taminareo aho, nefa tsy nihaino ianareo; ary nandà ny tenin’ i Jehovah ianareo, dia nanao sahisahy ka niakatra tany an-tendrombohitra ihany.
44 Then the Amorites who lived in the hills came out against you and chased you like a swarm of bees. They routed you from Seir all the way to Hormah.
Dia nivoaka hiady aminareo ny Amorita, izay nonina tamin’ izany tendrombohitra izany, ka nanenjika anareo tahaka ny fanenjiky ny reni-tantely, dia nandringana anareo tany Seïra ka hatrany Horma.
45 And you returned and wept before the LORD, but He would not listen to your voice or give ear to you.
Dia niverina ianareo ka nitomany teo anatrehan’ i Jehovah; nefa tsy nihaino ny feonareo Jehovah, na nanongilana ny sofiny taminareo.
46 For this reason you stayed in Kadesh for a long time—a very long time.
Dia nitoetra ela tao Kadesy ianareo, araka ny andro izay nitoeranareo tao.
