Deuteronomy 8
1 Ye shall observe to do all the commands which I charge you to-day, that ye may live and be multiplied, and enter in and inherit the land, which the Lord your God sware [to give] to 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 And thou shalt remember all the way which the Lord thy God led thee in the wilderness, that he might afflict thee, and try thee, and that the things in thine heart might be made manifest, whether thou wouldest keep his commandments or no.
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 And he afflicted thee and straitened thee with hunger, and fed thee with manna, which thy fathers knew not; that he might teach thee that man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God shall man live.
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 Thy garments grew not old from off thee, thy shoes were not worn from off thee, thy feet were not [painfully] hardened, lo! these forty years.
Ny fitafianao teny aminao tsy rovitra, ary ny tongotrao tsy nivonto izao efa-polo taona izao.
5 And thou shalt know in thine heart, that as if any man should chasten his son, so the Lord thy God will chasten thee.
Koa aoka ho fantatrao amin’ ny fonao, fa tahaka ny fananaran’ ny olona ny zanany no fananaran’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrao anao.
6 And thou shalt keep the commands of the Lord thy God, to walk in his ways, and to fear him.
Ary tandremo ny didin’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrao, mba handehananao amin’ ny lalany sy hatahoranao Azy.
7 For the Lord thy God will bring thee into a good and extensive land, where there are torrents of waters, and fountains of deep places issuing through the plains and through the mountains:
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 and barley, [wherein are] vines, figs, 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 on which thou shalt not eat thy bread with poverty, and thou shalt not want any thing upon it; a land whose stones are iron, and out of its mountains thou shalt dig brass.
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 And thou shalt eat and be filled, and shalt bless the Lord thy God on the good land, which he has given thee.
Ary rehefa nihinana ianao ka voky ary misaotra an’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrao noho ny tany soa izay nomeny anao,
11 Take heed to thyself that thou forget not the Lord thy God, so as not to keep his commands, and his judgments, and ordinances, which I command thee this day:
dia mitandrema, fandrao hadinoinao Jehovah Andriamanitrao, ka tsy tandremanao ny didiny sy ny fitsipiny ary ny lalàny, izay andidiako anao anio;
12 lest when thou hast eaten and art full, and hast built goodly houses, and dwelt in them;
fandrao, rehefa nihinana ianao ka voky ary nanao trano tsara ka mitoetra ao,
13 and thy oxen and thy sheep are multiplied to thee, and thy silver and thy gold are multiplied to thee, and all thy possessions are multiplied to thee,
ary mihamaro ny ombinao sy ny ondry aman’ osinao, ary mitombo koa ny volafotsinao sy ny volamenanao, ary mitombo ny fanananao rehetra,
14 thou shouldest be exalted in heart, and forget the Lord thy God, who brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage:
dia hiavonavona ny fonao, ka hohadinoinao Jehovah Andriamanitrao, Izay nitondra anao nivoaka avy tany amin’ ny tany Egypta, tamin’ ny trano nahandevozana,
15 who brought thee through that great and terrible wilderness, where [is] the biting serpent, and scorpion, and drought, where there was no water; who brought thee a fountain of water out of the flinty rock:
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 who fed thee with manna in the wilderness, which thou knewest not, and thy fathers knew not; that he might afflict thee, and thoroughly try thee, and do thee good in thy latter days.
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 Lest thou shouldest say in thine heart, My strength, and the power of mine hand have wrought for me this great wealth.
ary andrao ianao hanao anakampo hoe: Ny tanjako sy ny herin’ ny tanako no nahavoriako izao harena izao;
18 But thou shalt remember the Lord thy God, that he gives thee strength to get wealth; even that he may establish his covenant, which the Lord sware to thy fathers, as at 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 And it shall come to pass if thou do at all forget the Lord thy God, and shouldest go after other gods, and serve them, and worship them, I call heaven and earth to witness against you this day, that ye shall 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 As also the other nations which the Lord God destroys before your face, so shall ye perish, because ye hearkened not to the voice of 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.
