< Deuteronomy 7 >

1 When Jehovah your God shall bring you into the land where you go to possess it, and shall cast out many nations before you, the Hethite, and the Girgashite, and the Amorite, and the Canaanite, and the Perizzite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite, seven nations greater and mightier than you;
Ie asese’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’o mb’amy tane himoaha’o naho ho ta­vane’oy, naho asiotsio’e mb’ aolo’o mb’eo ty fifeheañe maro: o nte-Kiteo, o nte-Girgaseo, o nte-Amoreo, o nte-Kanàneo, o nte-Perizeo, o nte-Kiveo, vaho o nte-Iebosèo, fifeheañe fito maozatse naho maro te ama’o,
2 and when Jehovah your God shall deliver them up before you, and you shall strike them; then you shall utterly destroy them: you shall make no covenant with them, nor show mercy to them;
naho atolo’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’o ama’o vaho giohe’o, le tsy mete tsy mongore’o. Ko ifañina’o naho ko itretreza’o.
3 neither shall you make marriages with them; your daughter you shall not give to his son, nor shall you take his daughter for your son.
Ko ifangalam-baly, ko anolora’o anak’ ampela o ana-dahi’eo ndra andrambesan’ anak’ ampela i ana-dahi’oy,
4 For he will turn away your son from following me, that he may serve other gods; so the anger of Jehovah would be kindled against you, and he would destroy you quickly.
amy te hampiambohoe’e ty ana’o tsy haño­rik’ ahy hitoroñe ndrahare ila’e. Le hisolebotse ama’o ty haviñera’ Iehovà vaho harotsa’e aniany.
5 But you shall deal with them like this: you shall break down their altars, and dash their pillars in pieces, and cut down their Asherim, and burn their engraved images with fire.
Fe inao ty hanoa’o iareo; demoho o kitreli’ iareoo, kimokimoho o hazomanga’ iareoo, naho firao o Asere’ iareoo vaho ampiforototò an’ afo o vongan-draha sinokitseo.
6 For you are a holy people to Jehovah your God: Jehovah your God has chosen you to be a people for his own possession, above all peoples who are on the face of the earth.
Ondaty miavake am’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’o irehe, ie jinobo’ Iehovà Andria­nañahare’o amy ze kila ondaty ambone’ ty tane toy ho vara’e.
7 Jehovah did not set his love on you, nor choose you, because you were more in number than any people; for you were the fewest of all peoples:
Tsy t’ie nimaro ta ondaty ila’eo te napite’ Iehovà ama’ areo ty fikokoañe ndra ty fijoboña’e, toe nitsiampe te amy ze hene ondaty;
8 but because Jehovah loves you, and because he would keep the oath which he swore to your fathers, has Jehovah brought you out with a mighty hand, and redeemed you out of the house of bondage, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt.
fa ty fikokoa’ Iehovà anahareo naho ty nañambena’e i fañina nifantà’e aman-droae’ areoiy, ty nampiengà’ Iehovà anahareo an-dela-pità’e maozatse vaho nijebaña’e boak’amy trañom-pañondevozañey, hirik’ am-pità’ i Parò mpanjaka’ i Mitsraimey.
9 Know therefore that Jehovah your God, he is God, the faithful God, who keeps covenant and loving kindness with them who love him and keep his commandments to a thousand generations,
Mahafohina arè te toe Andrianañahare t’Iehovà Andrianañahare’o naho Andrianañahare migahiñe mpitam-pañina naho fiferenaiñañe amo mpikoko azeo vaho mañorike o lili’eo pak’an-tarira’e fah’arivo’,
10 and repays those who hate him to their face, to destroy them: he will not be slack to him who hates him, he will repay him to his face.
fe avaha’e an-dahara’ o manjehatse azeo. Tsy malaon-dre fa valea’e an-tarehe’e eo ze malaiñe aze.
11 You shall therefore keep the commandment, and the statutes, and the ordinances, which I command you this day, to do them.
Aa le ambeno ty lily naho o fañè naho fepetse andiliako azo androanio, vaho oriho.
12 It shall happen, because you listen to these ordinances, and keep and do them, that Jehovah your God will keep with you the covenant and the loving kindness which he swore to your fathers:
Ie amy zao, naho haoñe’o o fañè rezao naho ambena’o naho orihe’o, le havotinti’ Iehovà Andria­nañahare’o ama’o i fañina naho fikokoa-migahiñe nifantà’e aman-droae’oy;
13 and he will love you, and bless you, and multiply you; he will also bless the fruit of your body and the fruit of your ground, your grain and your new wine and your oil, the increase of your livestock and the young of your flock, in the land which he swore to your fathers to give you.
ho kokoa’e irehe, ho tahie’e vaho hampi­bodo­bodoe’e; ho tahie’e ty vokan-kovi’o naho ty vokan-tane’o, ty ampemba’o, ty divai’o naho ty mena’o naho ty fitom­boa’ o añombe’oo naho ty famorohotan-dia-rai’o amy tane nifañinà’e aman-droae’o hatolo’e azoy.
14 You shall be blessed above all peoples: there shall not be male or female barren among you, or among your livestock.
Ho soa-tahy amy ze kila ondaty irehe, tsy eo ty ho betsi­terak’ aman-dahilahy ndra ampela, vaho tsy ho pok’anake o añombe’oo.
15 And Jehovah will take away from you all sickness, and none of the evil diseases of Egypt, which you have seen and which you have known, will he put on you, but he will lay them on all who hate you.
Hafaha’ Iehovà ama’o ze hene hasilofañe naho tsy hafetsa’e ama’o o angorosy nifohi’o e Mitsraime añeo, fe hapo’e amo malaiñ’ azoo.
16 You shall consume all the peoples whom Jehovah your God shall deliver to you; your eye shall not pity them: neither shall you serve their gods; for that will be a snare to you.
Fonga habotse’o ze ondaty atolo’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’o azo, ko iferenaiñam-pihaino’o vaho ko toroñe’o o ndrahare’ iareoo fa ho fandrik’ ama’o.
17 If you shall say in your heart, "These nations are more than I; how can I dispossess them?"
Ie manao ty hoe an-troke ao: Maro te amako o rofoko zao, aia ty hanoako soike iareo.
18 you shall not be afraid of them: you shall well remember what Jehovah your God did to Pharaoh, and to all Egypt;
Ko ihem­baña’o, tiahio avao ty nanoe’ Iehovà Andria­nañahare’o amy Parò naho amy Mitsraime iaby,
19 the great trials which your eyes saw, and the signs, and the wonders, and the mighty hand, and the outstretched arm, by which Jehovah your God brought you out: so shall Jehovah your God do to all the peoples of whom you are afraid.
o fitsohañe ra’elahy niisam-pihaino’oo, o viloñeo naho o raha tsitantaneo, i lela-pitàñe maoza­tsey naho i fitàñe natora-kitsi’e nañavota’ Iehovà Andria­nañahare’o boak’añey, ro mbe hanoe’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’o amy ze hene ondaty irevendreveña’o,
20 Moreover Jehovah your God will send the hornet among them until those who are left and hide themselves from you perish.
vaho hampisangitrife’ Iehovà Andria­nañahare’o am’ iareo ty fanenetse, ampara’ te fonga miantantiry ze sehanga’e mietake.
21 You shall not be scared of them; for Jehovah your God is in your midst, a great and awesome God.
Ko miriatsandry am’ iareo, amy te añivo’o ao t’Iehovà An­drianañahare’o; Andrianañahare jabahinake naho mam­pa­ñeveñe.
22 Jehovah your God will cast out those nations before you by little and little: you may not consume them at once, lest the animals of the field increase on you.
Hasiotsio’ Iehovà Andria­naña­hare’o aolo’o mb’eo erike o rofoko rezay; f’ie tsy ho fonga mongore’o aniany tsy mone ho losotse ama’o o bibin-kivokeo.
23 But Jehovah your God will deliver them up before you, and will confuse them with a great confusion, until they be destroyed.
Toe hatolo’ Iehovà Andria­na­ñahare’o ama’o iereo, vaho ho rotsahe’e am-pandrebahañe ra’elahy am-para’ te zama­ne’e iaby.
24 He will deliver their kings into your hand, and you shall make their name to perish from under the sky: no man shall be able to stand before you, until you have destroyed them.
Hatolo’e am-pità’o o mpanjaka’eo vaho ho fao­paohe’o ambanen-dikerañe atoy ty tahina’ iareo, tsy eo t’indaty hahafiatreatre azo, am-para’ te narotsa’o.
25 You shall burn the engraved images of their gods with fire. You shall not covet the silver or the gold that is on them, nor take it for yourself, lest you be snared in it; for it is an abomination to Jehovah your God.
Ho forototoe’ areo ze saren-drahare’ iareo. Ko tsikirihe’o ty volafoty ndra volamena ama’e ndra mandrambe aze ho azo, fa ho fandrik’ ama’o, toe tiva amy Iehovà Andria­nañahare’o.
26 You shall not bring an abomination into your house, and become a devoted thing like it. You shall utterly detest it, and you shall utterly abhor it; for it is a devoted thing.
Ko minday raha tiva añ’an­jomba’o ao ke hindre hafàtse ama’e irehe. Vata’e hejeo naho apoho hoe mampangory, ie fa navike harotsake.
