Deuteronomy 9
1 Hear, O Israel: You go this day across Jordan to inherit nations greater and stronger than yourselves, cities great and walled up to heaven;
Mihainoa, ry Isiraely ô: ianao izao dia efa hita an’ i Jordana hiditra eo amin’ ny tany ka handresy firenen-tsamy hafa, izay lehibe sy mahery noho ianao, sy hahafaka tanàna lehibe izay misy manda manakatra ny lanitra,
2 a people great and many and tall, the sons of Enac, whom you know, and concerning whom you have heard [say], Who can stand before the children of Enac?
dia firenena lehibe sady olona lava, dia taranaky ny Anakita izay fantatrao, sady efa renao ny lazany hoe: Iza no mahajanona eo anoloan’ ny taranak’ i Anàka?
3 And you shall know today, that the Lord your God he shall go before your face: he is a consuming fire; he shall destroy them, and he shall turn them back before you, and shall destroy them quickly, as the Lord said to you.
Koa aoka ho fantatrao anio fa Jehovah Andriamanitrao no efa handeha hita eo alohanao tahaka ny afo mandevona, ka Izy no handringana azy sy hampietry azy eo anoloanao; dia handroaka azy ianao ka handringana azy faingana, araka izay nolazain’ i Jehovah taminao.
4 Speak not in your heart, when the Lord your God has destroyed these nations before your face, saying, For my righteousness the Lord brought me in to inherit this good land.
Ary rehefa voaroak’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrao eo anoloanao izy, dia aza manao anakampo hoe: Ny fahamarinako no nitondran’ i Jehovah ahy niditra handova ity tany ity; fa ny haratsiam-panahin’ ireo firenena ireo no androahan’ i Jehovah azy eo anoloanao.
5 Not for your righteousness, nor for the holiness of your heart, do you go in to inherit their land, but because of the wickedness of these nations the Lord will destroy them from before you, and that he may establish the covenant, which the Lord sware to our fathers, to Abraam, and to Isaac, and to Jacob.
Tsy ny fahamarinanao, na ny hitsim-ponao, no andehananao handova ny taniny; fa ny haratsiam-panahin’ ireo firenena ireo no androahan’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrao azy eo anoloanao hahatò ny teny izay nianianan’ i Jehovah tamin’ i Abrahama sy Isaka ary Jakoba razanao.
6 And you shall know today, that [it is] not for your righteousnesses the Lord your God gives you this good land to inherit, for you are a stiff-necked people.
Koa aoka ho fantatrao fa tsy ny fahamarinanao no anomezan’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrao izany tany soa izany ho lovanao; fa firenena mafy hatoka ianao.
7 Remember, forget not, how much you provoked the Lord your God in the wilderness: from the day that you came forth out of Egypt, even till you came into this place, you continued to be disobedient towards the Lord.
Tsarovy ka aza hadinoinao ny nampahatezeranao an’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrao tany an-efitra: eny, hatramin’ ny andro nialanao tany amin’ ny tany Egypta ka hatramin’ ny nahatongavanareo teto amin’ ity tany ity dia mbola niodina tamin’ i Jehovah ihany ianareo.
8 Also in Choreb you provoked the Lord, and the Lord was angry with you to destroy you;
Na dia tany Horeba aza dia nampahatezitra an’ i Jehovah ianareo, dia tezitra taminareo Izy ka saiky nandringana anareo.
9 when I went up into the mountain to receive the tables of stone, the tables of the covenant, which the Lord made with you, and I was in the mountain forty days and forty nights, I ate no bread and drank no water.
Raha niakatra tao an-tendrombohitra aho handray ny vato fisaka, dia ny vato fisaka izay nisy ny fanekena nataon’ i Jehovah taminareo, ka nitoetra efa-polo andro sy efa-polo alina tao an-tendrombohitra sady tsy nihinan-kanina na nisotro rano,
10 And the Lord gave me the two tables of stone written with the finger of God, and on them there had been written all the words which the Lord spoke to you in the mountain in the day of the assembly.
dia nomen’ i Jehovah ahy ny vato fisaka roa, voasoratry ny fanondron’ Andriamanitra; ary teo aminy no nisy ilay teny rehetra nolazain’ i Jehovah taminareo tao an-tendrombohitra tao amin’ ny andro nivoriana.
11 And it came to pass after forty days and forty nights, the Lord gave me the two tables of stone, the tables of the covenant.
Ary nony tapitra ny efa-polo andro sy efa-polo alina, dia nomen’ i Jehovah ahy ny vato fisaka roa, dia ilay nisy ny fanekena.
12 And the Lord said to me, Arise, go down quickly from hence, for your people whom you brought out of the land of Egypt have transgressed; they have gone aside quickly out of the way which I commanded them, and have made themselves a molten image.
Dia hoy Jehovah tamiko: Miaingà, ka midìna faingana hiala etỳ ianao; fa efa nanao ratsy ny olonao izay nentinao nivoaka avy tany Egypta; efa nalaky nivily niala tamin’ ny lalana izay efa nasaiko nalehany izy ka nanao sarin-javatra an-idina ho azy.
13 And the Lord spoke to me, saying, I have spoken to you once and again, saying, I have seen this people, and, behold, it is a stiff-necked people.
Ary hoy koa Jehovah tamiko: Efa hitako ity firenena ity, fa, indro, olona mafy hatoka izy.
14 And now suffer me utterly to destroy them, and I will blot out their name from under heaven, and will make of you a nation great and strong, and more numerous than this.
Avelao Aho handringana azy, ka hovonoiko ny anarany tsy ho eny ambanin’ ny lanitra, ary dia hataoko firenena mahery sy lehibe noho izy ianao.
15 And I turned and went down from the mountain; and the mountain burnt with fire to heaven; and the two tables of the testimonies [were] in my two hands.
Dia nihodina aho ka nidina niala tamin’ ny tendrombohitra, raha mbola nirehitra afo izy; ary ny vato fisaka roa nisy ny fanekena dia teny an-tanako roa.
16 And when I saw that you had sinned against the Lord your God, and had made to yourselves a molten image, and had gone astray out of the way, which the Lord commanded you to keep;
Ary nijery aho, ka, indro, efa nanota tamin’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrareo ianareo ka nanao ombilahy kely an-idina ho anareo; nalaky nivily ianareo niala tamin’ ny lalana izay efa nasain’ i Jehovah nalehanareo.
17 then I took hold of the two tables, and cast them out of my two hands, and broke them before you.
Dia noraisiko ny vato fisaka roa ka nazerako avy teny an-tanako roa ho vakivaky teo imasonareo.
18 And I made my petition before the Lord as also at the first forty days and forty nights: I ate no bread and drank no water, on account of all your sins which you sinned in doing evil before the Lord God to provoke him.
Ary niankohoka teo anatrehan’ i Jehovah efa-polo andro sy efa-polo alina tahaka ilay teo ihany aho ka tsy nihinan-kanina, na nisotro rano, noho ny fahotanareo rehetra, izay nataonareo tamin’ ny nanaovanareo izay ratsy eo imason’ i Jehovah, ka nampahatezeranareo Azy.
19 And I was greatly terrified because of the wrath and anger, because the Lord was provoked with you utterly to destroy you; yet the Lord listened to me at this time also.
Fa natahotra ny fahavinirana sy ny fahatezerana aho, izay nahatezeran’ i Jehovah taminareo handringanana anareo. Dia nihaino ahy indray Jehovah tamin’ izany andro izany.
20 And he was angry with Aaron to destroy him utterly, and I prayed for Aaron also at that time.
Ary Jehovah dia tezitra indrindra tamin’ i Arona ka saiky nandevona azy; dia nifona ho an’ i Arona koa aho tamin’ izany andro izany.
21 And your sin which you had made, [even] the calf, I took, and burnt it with fire, and pounded it and ground it down till it became fine; and it became like dust, and I cast the dust into the brook that descended from the mountain.
Ary noraisiko ny fahotanareo, dia ilay ombilahy kely izay nataonareo, ka nodorako tamin’ ny afo, dia notorotoroiko sy nomontsamontsaniko mandra-pahatongany ho madinika toy ny vovoka; ary ny vovony dia nariako teo amin’ ny renirano izay midìna avy amin’ ny tendrombohitra.
22 Also in the burning, and in the temptation, and at the graves of lust, you provoked the Lord.
Ary tao Tabera sy Masa ary Kibrota-hatava no nampahatezeranareo an’ i Jehovah.
23 And when the Lord sent you forth from Cades Barne, saying, Go up and inherit the land which I give to you, then you disobeyed the word of the Lord your God, and believed him not, and listened not to his voice.
Ary raha nampandehanin’ i Jehovah niala tao Kadesi-barnea ianareo ka nataony hoe: Miakara, ka lovao ny tany izay nomeko anareo, dia nandà ny tenin’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrareo ianareo, fa tsy nihaino Azy, na nino ny feony.
24 You were disobedient in the things relating to the Lord from the day in which he became known to you.
Eny, niodina tamin’ i Jehovah ihany ianareo hatramin’ ny andro nahalalako anareo no ho mankaty.
25 And I prayed before the Lord forty days and forty nights, the number that I prayed [before], for the Lord said that he would utterly destroy you.
Ary niankohoka teo anatrehan’ i Jehovah aho nandritra izany efa-polo andro sy efa-polo alina izany, satria efa nolazain’ i Jehovah fa handringana anareo Izy.
26 And I prayed to God, and said, O Lord, King of gods, destroy not your people and your inheritance, whom you did redeem, whom you brought out of the land of Egypt with your great power, and with your strong hand, and with your high arm.
Dia nifona tamin’ i Jehovah aho ka nanao hoe: Jehovah Tompo ô, aza mandringana ny firenenao sy ny lovanao, izay navotanao tamin’ ny fahalehibiazanao ka nentinao nivoaka avy tany Egypta tamin’ ny tananao mahery.
27 Remember Abraam, and Isaac, and Jacob your servants, to whom you sware by yourself: look not upon the hardness of heart of this people, and their impieties, and their sins.
Tsarovy ny mpanomponao, dia Abrahama sy Isaka ary Jakoba; fa aza mijery ny ditran’ ity firenena ity, na ny haratsiam-panahiny, na ny fahotany,
28 Lest the inhabitants of the land whence you brought us out speak, saying, Because the Lord could not bring them into the land of which he spoke to them, and because he hated them, has he brought them forth to kill them in the wilderness.
fandrao izay monina amin’ ny tany nitondranao anay nivoaka avy tany hanao hoe: Satria tsy hain’ i Jehovah ny hitondra azy ho any amin’ ny tany izay nolazainy taminy, ary satria nankahala azy Izy, dia izany no nitondrany azy nivoaka hahafaty azy atỳ an-efitra.
29 And these [are] your people and your portion, whom you brought out of the land of Egypt with your great strength, and with your mighty hand, and with your high arm.
Kanefa ireo dia firenenao sy lovanao, izay nentinao nivoaka tamin’ ny herinao lehibe sy ny sandrinao nahinjitra.
