Deuteronomy 8
1 You must take care to follow every commandment I am giving you today, so that you may live and have many descendants, and go in and take over the country the Lord promised to give to your fore fathers.
Mitomira, hambena’ areo ze hene’ lily lilieko ama’o androany, soa t’ie ho veloñe naho hibodobodo te hizilik’ ao naho handova i tane nampitama’ Iehovà aman-droae’ areo am-pantay.
2 Remember how for these forty years the Lord your God has led you all the way through the desert, humbling you and testing you in order to find out what you were really thinking, and whether or not you would keep his commandments.
Tiahio o làlañe iaby niaoloa’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’o azo amy taoñe efa-polo an-dratraratra añe reio, ie nampireke naho nitsok’ azo haharendreke ze añ’ arofo’o ao, he hambena’o o lili’eo ke tsie.
3 He humbled you, and when you were hungry he gave you manna to eat, which nobody, including you and your forefathers, had ever had before This was in order to make it clear to you that human beings do not live by only eating bread, but by every word that comes from the mouth of the Lord.
Toe nampireha’e, le nampisalikoa’e, vaho nanjotsoa’e mane tsy nifohi’o naho tsy nifohin-droae’o, hampahafohina’e te tsy mahakama avao ty mahaveloñ’ ondaty; fa ze tsara miboak’ am-palie’ Iehovà ro mahaveloñe’ ondaty.
4 During these forty years your clothing didn't wear out and your feet didn't swell up.
Tsy nikoneatse ama’o ty saro’o vaho tsy nivonto ty fandia’o i efa-polo taoñe rezay.
5 So you should realize that just as a parent disciplines their child, so the Lord your God disciplines you.
Mahafohina añ’arofo te manahake ty fandilovan-drae ty ana’e ty andilova’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’o azo.
6 That's why you have to keep the commandments of the Lord your God, following his ways and respecting him.
Aa le ambeno o lili’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’oo am-pañaveloañe an-dala’e eo vaho am-pañeveñañe ama’e.
7 For the Lord your God is taking you to a good country. It's a land of streams and pools and springs that flow through the valleys and down the hills;
Amy te manese azo mb’an-tane soa ao t’Iehovà Andrianañahare’o, tane ikararahan-torahañe naho rano migoangoañe le rano mionjoñe boak’ am-bavatane naho am-bohibohitse,
8 It's a land that produces wheat, barley, vines, fig trees, pomegranates, olive oil and honey.
tanem-bare-bolè naho vare hordea, amam-bahe naho sakoañe vaho raketa, tane aman-katae olive naho tantele,
9 It's a land where you won't run out of food, where you will have everything you need; a land whose rocks contain iron ore and whose hills can be mined for copper.
tane hikama’o mahakama fa tsy hiereñe, hiaiña’o añoleñañe, tane amam-bato viñe vaho am-bohi’e ao ty hihalia’o torisìke.
10 When you eat and are full, make sure you thank the Lord your God for the good land that he's given you.
Ie fa nikama naho ànjañe le andriaño t’Iehovà Andrianañahare’o ty amy tane fanjàka natolo’e azoy.
11 Make sure you don't forget the Lord your God by disobeying his commandments and rules and regulations that I'm giving you today.
Mitomira tsy handikok’ am’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’o, tsy hañorike o lili’eo naho o fañè’eo vaho o fepè’e lilieko ama’o androanio.
12 For when you eat and are full, when you build beautiful houses to live in,
Kera, ie fa nikama vaho ànjañe, naho fa nandranjy anjomba soa, naho imoneña’o,
13 and when your herds and flocks grow larger, and your silver and gold accumulates, and all your possessions increase,
naho mihamaro o añombe’oo naho o lia-rai’oo, naho mitombo ty volafoty naho volamena’o, naho miraorao ze he’e ama’o,
14 then you will become proud, and you will forget the Lord your God who led you out of Egypt, out of the prison-house of slavery.
le hirengevoke ty arofo’o vaho handikofa’o t’Iehovà Andrianañahare’o nañavotse azo an-tane Mitsraime an-trañom-pañondevozañe ao,
15 He guided you through the immense and terrifying desert with its poisonous snakes and scorpions—a dried up, waterless land. He brought water for you out of a flint rock.
i niaolo azo hiranga i fatram-bey henehene naharevendreveñey; i ratraratra maike lifotse merem-boreke naho kalengo añey, le nampidoandoaña’e rano boak’ am-bato-paike ao,
16 He fed you in the desert with manna that your forefathers had never known, humbling you and testing you, so that eventually you would do well in the future.
naho nanjotsoa’e mane tsy nahazatse an-droae’o am-patrañe ao, hampireke vaho hamente azo, hañasoà’e am-pigadoñañe añe,
17 You might think to yourselves, “I became rich through all my hard work.”
ke hitsakore añ’arofo’o ao irehe ty hoe, Ty haozarako naho ty hafatraran-tañako ty nanontonako o varako zao.
18 But remember it's the Lord your God who gives you the ability to become rich, in order to fulfill his agreement he promised to your forefathers that still exists today.
Tiahio t’Iehovà Andrianañahare’o, amy t’ie ty mampaozatse azo hahavoria’o vara, hamentea’e i fañina nifantà’e aman-droae’oy le mbe ie henanekeo.
19 If you ever forget the Lord your God, and run after other gods, worshiping and bowing down to them, I assure you right now that you will definitely die!
Aa ke ho haliño’o t’Iehovà Andrianañahare’o hañoriha’o ty ndrahare ila’e hitoroña’o naho hiambanea’o, fa ataliliko anahareo androany t’ie tsy mete tsy hivetrake
20 In the same way the Lord destroyed the nations as you advanced, you will also die if you don't obey the Lord your God.
naho hihomake manahake o rofoko rotsahe’ Iehovà aolo’ areo mb’eoo amy te tsy hinao’ areo ty fiarañanaña’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’ areo.
