Deuteronomy 4
1 And now, O Israel, hear the commandments and judgments which I teach thee: that doing them, thou mayst live, and entering in mayst possess the land which the Lord the God of your fathers will give you.
Ie amy zao ry Israele, janjiño o fañè naho fepètse añòhako anahareo hanoeñeo, soa t’ie ho veloñe hahafimoake vaho handova i tane atolo’ Iehovà Andrianañaharen-droae’ areo ama’areoy.
2 You shall not add to the word that I speak to you, neither shall you take away from it: keep the commandments of the Lord your God which I command you.
Ko tovoña’ areo o tsara liliekoo naho ko añafahañe, vaho ambeno o lili’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’ areo afantoko ama’ areoo.
3 Your eyes have seen all that the Lord hath done against Beelphegor, how he hath destroyed all his worshippers from among you.
Niisam-pihaino’areo ty nanoe’ Iehovà amy Baale-Peore, ty amo fonga ondaty nañorike i Baale-Peoreo; fa narotsa’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’o ama’areo irezay—indaty nañorike i Baal-peore rey,
4 But you that adhere to the Lord your God, are all alive until this present day.
f’ie nifahatse am’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’ areo, le songa veloñe androany.
5 You know that I have taught you statutes and justices, as the Lord my God hath commanded me: so shall you do them in the land which you shall possess:
Ingo te nanareko o fañè naho fepetse nafanto’ Iehovà Andrianañahareko amakoo hañoriha’ areo an-tane himoaha’ areo ho lovae’ areo henaneo.
6 And you shall observe, and fulfill them in practice. For this is your wisdom, and understanding in the sight of nations, that hearing all these precepts, they may say: Behold a wise and understanding people, a great nation.
Aa le oriho naho anò, fa izay ty hihi’ areo naho ty hilala’ areo am-pahaisaha’ ondatio, le ie mahajanjiñe o hene fañèo ro hanao ty hoe: Toe ondaty mahihitse naho mahilala ty foko ra’elahy tiañe.
7 Neither is there any other nation so great, that hath gods so nigh them, as our God is present to all our petitions.
Fa ia ty foko aman-drahare hañirinkiriñe Iehovà Andrianañaharen-tika, mpanoiñe ndra mbia’ mbia ikanjiantika.
8 For what other nation is there so renowned that hath ceremonies, and just judgments, and all the law, which I will set forth this day before your eyes?
Ia ka ty foko amam-pañè naho fepètse vantañe manahake i Hake fonitse taroñeko ama’ areo androaniy.
9 Keep thyself therefore, and thy soul carefully. Forget not the words that thy eyes have seen, and let them not go out of thy heart all the days of thy life. Thou shalt teach them to thy sons and to thy grandsons,
Aa le mitomira, vontitiro añ’ arofo tsy mone handikofa’ areo o raha niisam-pihaino’ areoo vaho ko anga’ areo himolaotse am-pitsakoreañe amo hene andro hiveloma’ areoo; fe ampaharendreho o ana’ areoo naho o afe’ areoo,
10 From the day in which thou didst stand before the Lord thy God in Horeb, when the Lord spoke to me, saying: Call together the people unto me, that they may hear my words, and may learn to fear me all the time that they live on the earth, and may teach their children.
mentsake i nijohaña’ areo añatrefa’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’ areo e Korebey, ie nanao ty hoe amako t’Iehovà, Atontono ondatio hijanjiñe o fivolakoo, hioha’ iareo ty hañeveñ’ amako amo hene andro hiveloma’ iareo an-tane atoio, vaho hanare’ iereo hanao izay ka o keleia’eo.
11 And you came to the foot of the mount, which burned even unto heaven: and there was darkness, and a cloud and obscurity in it.
Aa ie nitotoke mb’eo le nijohañe ambane’ i vohitsey, naho nilebalebà’ ty afo naneñateña i likerañey i vohitsey ie nisaroñan-drahoñe nimoromoroñe.
12 And the Lord spoke to you from the midst of the fire. You heard the voice of his words, but you saw not any form at all.
Le nitsara ama’ areo boak’amy afoy t’Iehovà. Jinanji’ areo ty feo’ i tsaray, fe tsy niisa’ areo ty vinta’e, i fiarañanañañey avao.
13 And he shewed you his covenant, which he commanded you to do, and the ten words that he wrote in two tables of stone.
Tsinei’e ama’ areo i fañina linili’e ama’ areo horiheñey: i tsara folo pinate’e am-bato roe rey.
14 And he commanded me at that time that I should teach you the ceremonies and judgments which you shall do in the land, that you shall possess.
Le nafanto’ Iehovà amako henane zay ty hañohako anahareo o fañè naho fepètse hañoriha’ areo an-tane hitsaha’ areo ho lovaeñeo.
15 Keep therefore your souls carefully. You saw not any similitude in the day that the Lord God spoke to you in Horeb from the midst of the fire:
Aa kanao tsy nahaonim-bintañe nahareo te nitsara ama’ areo e Korebe añe boak’añ’ afo ao t’Iehovà, le mitomira,
16 Lest perhaps being deceived you might make you a graven similitude, or image of male or female,
tsy mone hameta vatañe am-pitseneañe saren-draha ho anahareo ami’ty vintañ’ inoñ’ inoñe—ke lahy he ampela,
17 The similitude of any beasts, that are upon the earth, or of birds, that fly under heaven,
ke amam-bintam-bibi’ ty tane toy, he amam-bintam-boroñe aman’ elatse mitiliñe amo tiokeo,
18 Or of creeping things, that move on the earth, or of fishes, that abide in the waters under the earth:
ke amam-bintan-draha milalilaly an-tane, he amam-binta’ ze fiañe an-drano ambane’ tane ao.
19 Lest perhaps lifting up thy eyes to heaven, thou see the sun and the moon, and all the stars of heaven, and being deceived by error thou adore and serve them, which the Lord thy God created for the service of all the nations, that are under heaven.
Le he miandra mb’ andikerañey irehe mahaisake i àndroy, i volañey, naho o vasiañeo, naho i valobohòn-dikerañey, vaho mivik’ mb’ama’e naho mibabok’ ama’e hitoroñe irezay, o natolo’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’o amy ze kila ondaty ambanen-dikerañeo.
20 But the Lord hath taken you and brought you out of the iron furnace of Egypt, to make you his people of inheritance, as it is this present day.
Fe rinambe’ Iehovà nahareo le hinaha’e amy fampitranaham-biy ao, boake Mitsraime añe, ho ondatim-panaña’e: le ie henaneo.
21 And the Lord was angry with me for your words, and he swore that I should not pass over the Jordan, nor enter into the excellent land, which he will give you.
Ie amy zao niviñetse amako t’Iehovà ty ama’ areo, ie nametse te tsy hitsahako Iardeney vaho tsy himoahako i tane fanjaka atolo’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’o azo ho lovay;
22 Behold I die in this land, I shall not pass over the Jordan: you shall pass, and possess the goodly land.
f’ie hikenkañe an-tane atoy, tsy hitsake Iardeney; f’inahareo ro hitsake naho hitavañe i tane fanjakay.
23 Beware lest thou ever forget the covenant of the Lord thy God, which he hath made with thee: and make to thyself a graven likeness of those things which the Lord hath forbid to be made:
Aa le mitaoa tsy handikofa’ areo i fañina nanoe’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’ areo ama’ areoy ke hitsene sarem-bintañe, ke sareñ-inoñ’ inoñe nandrara’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’o azo.
24 Because the Lord thy God is a consuming fire, a jealous God.
Fa afo mahaforototo t’Iehovà Andrianañahare’o, Andrianañahare Mpamarahy.
25 If you shall beget sons and grandsons, and abide in the land, and being deceived, make to yourselves any similitude, committing evil before the Lord your God, to provoke him to wrath:
Ie nahatoly anake naho afe naho fa nierañerañe ela an-tane ao, naho manao hakarapiloañe am-pitseneañe sarem-bintañe ke sareñ-inoñ’ inoñe vaho manao tiva am-pivazohoa’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’o, hikaiha’ areo ty haviñera’e,
26 I call this day heaven and earth to witness, that you shall quickly perish out of the land, which, when you have passed over the Jordan, you shall possess. You shall not dwell therein long, but the Lord will destroy you,
le ho koiheko henaneo i likerañey naho ty tane toy hitalily ama’ areo t’ie kila hihomak’ aniany an-tane himoaha’ areo am-pitsahañe Iardeney, handova’ areo, le tsy ho lava-ohatse fa ho vata’e mongoreñe.
27 And scatter you among all nations, and you shall remain a few among the nations, to which the Lord shall lead you.
Ie hampiparaitahe’ Iehovà am’ ondatio añe; toe tsy ampeampe ty ho sehanga’ areo amo kilakila ondaty handroaha’ Iehovà anahareoo.
28 And there you shall serve gods, that were framed with men’s hands: wood and stone, that neither see, nor hear, nor eat, nor smell.
Ho toroñe’ areo añe ty ‘ndrahare rinanjim-pità’ ondaty; hatae naho vato, songa tsy mahatrea, tsy mahatsanoñe, tsy maha-filintseñe vaho tsy maha-antsoñe.
29 And when thou shalt seek there the Lord thy God, thou shalt find him: yet so, if thou seek him with all thy heart, and all the affliction of thy soul.
Aa ie añe ro hipaia’ areo Iehovà Andrianañahare’o, le ho oni’o naho tsoehe’o añ-kaampon’arofo naho an-kaliforam-pañova.
30 After all the things aforesaid shall and thee, in the latter time thou shalt return to the Lord thy God, and shalt hear his voice.
Ie ami’ty falovilovia’o, naho fa hene nifetsaha’ irezay amo andro añeo, le himpoly am’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’o vaho ho haoñe’o i fiarañanaña’ey;
31 Because the Lord thy God is a merciful God: he will not leave thee, nor altogether destroy thee, nor forget the covenant, by which he swore to thy fathers.
Amy te Andrianañahare tretram-po t’Iehovà Andrianañahare’o, tsy haforintse’e, tsy hampimodoe’e; tsy ho haliño’e i fañina aman-droae’o nifantà’e am’ iereoy.
32 Ask of the days of old, that have been before thy time from the day that God created man upon the earth, from one end of heaven to the other end thereof, if ever there was done the like thing, or it hath been known at any time,
Ie amy zao añontaneo o sa haehaeo, o taolo’oo, ampara’ i andro nitsenen’ Añahare ondaty an-tane atoio; añontaneo boak’ añ’olon-dikerañ’ añe pak’ añ’olo’e ka; he teo ty nifetsahan-draha tsitantane hoe itiañe, ke eo ty nahajanjin-ty mañirinkiriñe aze?
33 That a people should hear the voice of God speaking out of the midst of fire, as thou hast heard, and lived:
Aa vaho eo hao t’indaty nahajanjiñe ty fiarañanañan’ Añahare nitsara ama’e boak’ añ’afo ao, manahake i jinanji’oy, t’ie mbe veloñe?
34 If God ever did so as to go, and take to himself a nation out of the midst of nations by temptations, signs, and wonders, by fight, and a strong hand, and stretched out arm, and horrible visions according to all the things that the Lord your God did for you in Egypt, before thy eyes.
Hera teo ty ‘ndrahare nimane hangalake foko ho am-bata’e boak’ amo kilakila’ ondatio am-pitsohañe naho am-biloñe naho an-draha tsitantane vaho añ’ aly, andela-pitàñe maozatse naho am-pitàñe natora-kitsy, am-pampiboahan-kaozarañe mahalatsa manahake o hene nanoe’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’ areo ho anahareo e Mitsraime añe añatrefam-pihaino’oo?
35 That thou mightest know that the Lord he is God, and there is no other besides him.
Ie nampiboaheñe ama’o, hatokisa’o te toe Andrianañahare t’Iehovà; le tsy eo naho tsy ie avao.
36 From heaven he made thee to hear his voice, that he might teach thee. And upon earth he shewed thee his exceeding great fire, and thou didst hear his words out of the midst of the fire,
Nampijanjiñe’e azo boak’andikerañe ao ty fiarañanaña’e hanoroa’e azo, naho nampiboaha’e an-tane atoy ty afo’e jabajaba, vaho jinanji’o boak’ amy afoy o tsara’eo.
37 Because he loved thy fathers, and chose their seed after them. And he brought thee out of Egypt, going before thee with his great power,
Kanao nikokoa’e o roae’oo, le jinobo’e o tariratse nandimbe iareoo, naho nampiengà’e i Mitsraime amy fiatrefa’e naho an-kaozara’e ra’elahy
38 To destroy at thy coming very great nations, and stronger than thou art, and to bring thee in, and give thee their land for a possession, as thou seest at this present day.
hanoe’e soik’ aolo’o eo o rofoko maozatse naho bey te ama’oo, hampihova’e azo ao, hitolora’e i tane’ iareoy ho lova’o, le ie henaneo.
39 Know therefore this day, and think in thy heart that the Lord he is God in heaven above, and in the earth beneath, and there is no other.
Aa le mahafohina androany vaho vontitiro añ’ arofo ao te Andrianañahare andikerañe ao naho an-tane ambane’e atoy t’Iehovà, tsy aman-tovo’e.
40 Keep his precepts and commandments, which I command thee: that it may be well with thee, and thy children after thee, and thou mayst remain a long time upon the land, which the Lord thy God will give thee.
Ambeno o fañè’eo naho o lili’eo; o andiliako azo androanio hahasoa azo naho ty tariratse hanonjohy azo soa t’ie ho tamañe an-tane atolo’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’o azo ho nainai’e donia.
41 Then Moses set aside three cities beyond the Jordan at the east side,
Le navì’ i Mosè ty rova telo alafe’ Iardeney mb’am-panjiriha’ i àndroy mb’ atoy
42 That any one might flee to them who should kill his neighbour unwillingly, and was not his enemy a day or two before, and that he might escape to some one of these cities:
hivoratsaha’ ty namono-ondaty, ie namono ondaty tsy an-tsatri’e, ie le lia’e tsy nimpirafelahy ama’e taolo, le mete hitriban-day mb’ami’ty raik’ amy rova fitsolohañe rey himoneña’e:
43 Bosor in the wilderness, which is situate in the plains of the tribe of Ruben: and Ramoth in Galaad, which is in the tribe of Gad: and Golan in Basan, which is in the tribe of Manasses.
i Betsere am-patrambey an-tane mira ho a’ o nte-Reòbeneo, i Ramote e Gileade ao ho a’ o nte-Gadeo, vaho i Golane e Basane ao ho a’ o nte-Menasèo.
44 This is the law, that Moses set before the children of Israel,
Zao ty Hake nitaroñe’ i Mosè amo ana’ Israeleo.
45 And these are the testimonies and ceremonies and judgments, which he spoke to the children of Israel, when they came out of Egypt,
Zao o taroñe naho fañè naho fepètse nisaontsie’ i Mosè amo ana’ Israeleo, ie fa niavotse i Mitsraimeo,
46 Beyond the Jordan in the valley over against the temple of Phogor, in the land of Sehon king of the Amorrhites, that dwelt in Hesebon, whom Moses slew. And the children of Israel coming out of Egypt,
alafe’ Iardeney atoy am-bavatane tandrife i Bete-peore, an-tane’ i Sihone mpanjaka’ i Amore nimoneñe e Khesbone, i ginio’ i Mosè naho o ana’ Israeleo, ie fa nienga i Mitsraimey.
47 Possessed his land, and the land of Og king of Basan, of the two kings of the Amorrhites, who were beyond the Jordan towards the rising of the sun:
Nimoneña’ iereo i taney naho an-tane’ i Oge mpanjaka’ i Basane, ty mpanjaka roe’ o nte-Amoreo alafe’ Iardeney mb’ am-panjirihan’ andro atoañe,
48 From Aroer, which is situate upon the bank of the torrent Amen, unto mount Sion, which is also called Hermon,
mifototse e Aroere añ’olom-bavatane Arnone eo pak’ am-bohi-Sione añe (i Kermòne izay)
49 All the plain beyond the Jordan at the east side, unto the see of the wilderness, and unto the foot of mount Phasga.
naho i ratraratra iaby atiñana’ Iardene añey pak’ an-dRiak’Arabà ampoton-kerakera’ i Pisgà eo.
