Deuteronomy 16
1 “[Each year] honor Yahweh our God by celebrating the Passover [Festival] in the month of Abib [in early spring]. It was on a night in that month that Yahweh rescued your ancestors from Egypt.
Ambeno ty volan-kofahofa, vaho ano am’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’o i fihelañ’ amboney; fa amy volan-kofay ty nañavota’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’o azo an-kaleñe.
2 [In order to celebrate that festival], go to the place that Yahweh will choose [for you to worship him], and offer [there one young animal] from your cattle or your sheep to be the Passover sacrifice, to honor Yahweh [MTY].
Aa le hisoroña’o am’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’o i fihelañ’ amboney, boak’ amo añombeo ndra amo mpirai-liao, amy toetse ho joboñe’ Iehovà hampipoha’e i tahina’eiy.
3 [When you eat the Passover meal], the bread that you eat must not have yeast in it. You must eat this kind of bread, which will be called the bread of suffering/misery, for seven days. This is to help you to remember all during the time that you are alive that when your ancestors left Egypt, [where they were suffering because they were slaves], they left very quickly. [They did not put in yeast and wait for the dough to swell up].
Tsy hatrao’o fikama ama’e ty mofo aman-dalivay; fito andro ty hikama’o mofo po-dalivay, toe mofom-pisotriañe, amy t’ie nalisa nienga an-tane Mitsraime añe; soa te ho tiahi’o amo hene andron-kavelo’oo i andro niengà’o i tane Mitsraimeiy.
4 [During that festival], you must not have any yeast in any house in your land for seven days. Furthermore, the meat [of the animals] that you sacrifice on the evening of the first day [of the Passover Festival must be eaten during that night]; do not allow any of it to remain until the next day.
Le tsy ho oniñe ndra aia aia am-pifehea’o ao amy fito àndroy ty mofo aman-dalivay vaho tsy hanisàñe am-para-piporea’ ty maraindray i hena nisoroñañe amy hariva’ i andro valoha’eiy.
5 “To honor Yahweh our God, you must offer the Passover sacrifice only at the place that he chooses for you [to worship him]; do not offer that sacrifice in any other town in the land that Yahweh is giving to you. Offer that sacrifice when the sun is setting, at the same time of day that your ancestors [started to] leave Egypt.
Tsy hisoroñañe amy ze rova hatolo’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’o azo i fihelañ’ amboney;
fa amy toetse ho joboñe’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’o hampipoha’e i tahina’eiy; hisoroñe i fihelañey irehe te hariva àndro miroñe, amy sa niavota’o i Mitsraimey.
7 Boil [the meat] and eat it at the place [of worship] that Yahweh our God chooses. The next morning, you may return to your tents.
Hatono’o naho ho kamae’o amy toetse ho joboñe’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’o eo, ie vaho maraindray, le himpoly an-kivoho’o ao.
8 Each day for six days the bread that you eat must have no yeast in it. On the seventh day, you must all gather to worship Yahweh our God. [It will be a day of rest]; you must not do any work on that day.”
Eneñ’ andro ty hikama’o mofo po-dalivay le hanoe’o fivory-miavake am’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’o i andro fahafitoy; ko mitoloñe ama’e.
9 “[Each year], from the day that you start to harvest your grain, count seven weeks.
Hereñandro fito ty hiahe’o ho azo; mifototse amy andro valoham-pañohara’o meso-panatahañe amy varey ty hañiaha’o fito hereñandro.
10 Then, to honor Yahweh our God, celebrate the Harvest Festival. Do that by bringing to him an offering [of grain]. Yahweh has blessed you [by causing it to grow in your fields during that year]. If you had a big harvest, bring a big offering. If you had a small harvest, bring a small offering.
Le ambeno ho am’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’o ty sabadidan-kereñandro le ho banabanaem-pità’o an-tsatrin’arofo ama’e ty mañeva i nitahia’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’o azoy.
11 [Each married couple] should be joyful in the presence of Yahweh. Their children, their servants, the descendants of Levi [who are in that town], and the foreigners, orphans, and widows [who are living among you], should also be joyful. Bring those offerings to the place of worship that Yahweh will choose.
Le hirebek’ añatrefa’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’o, ihe naho ty ana-dahi’o naho ty anak’ ampela’o naho ty ondevo-lahi’o naho ty ondevo-ampela’o, naho i nte-Levy an-tanà’oy naho i renetaney naho i bode-raey vaho i vantotse ama’ areoy, amy toetse jinobo’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’o hampipoha’e i tahina’eiy.
12 [“When you celebrate these festivals] by obeying these commands, remember that your ancestors were previously slaves in Egypt.”
Tiahio t’ie niondevo e Mitsraime añe, vaho mitomira hambenañe i fañè rezay.
13 “[Each year], after you have threshed all your grain and pressed [the juice from] all your grapes, you must celebrate the Festival of [Living in Temporary] Shelters for seven days.
Ie fa natonto’o an-driha ao ty mahakama’o naho ty divai’o le anò fito andro i sabadida-kivohoy.
14 [Each married couple] along with their children, their servants, the descendants of Levi [who are in that town], and the foreigners, orphans, and widows [who are living among you], should be joyful in the presence of Yahweh.
Le mirebeha amy takataka’oy, ihe naho ty ana-dahi’o naho ty anak’ ampela’ o naho ty ondevo-lahi’o naho ty ondevo-ampela’o naho i nte-Leviy naho i renetaney naho i bode-raey vaho i vantotse an-tanà’oy.
15 Honor Yahweh our God by celebrating this festival for seven days in the place that Yahweh chooses [for you to worship him]. You should all be joyful, because Yahweh will have blessed your harvest and all the other work that you have done.
Fito andro ty hanoe’o i sabadidake miavakey am’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’o amy toetse ho joboñe’ Iehovày ty amy fitahia’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’o ty firaoraoa’o naho ze hene fitoloñam-pità’o, vaho handia taroba irehe.
16 “So, each year all of you Israeli men must gather [with your families] to worship Yahweh our God at the place that he will choose, [to celebrate three festivals]: The Passover Festival, the Harvest Festival, and the Festival of Living in Temporary Shelters. Each of you men must bring [LIT] an offering [for Yahweh to these festivals]
In-telo ami’ty taoñe ty hihovà’ ze hene lahilahy mb’ añatrefa’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’o mb’amy toetse ho joboñe’ey mb’eo; i sabadidak’ i mofo tsy aman-dalivaiy, le i takatakan-kereñandroy vaho i sabadida-kivohoy, le tsy atrefeñe an-tañampolo t’Iehovà.
17 in proportion to the blessings that Yahweh has given you [during that year].”
Songa hañenga ze mete ama’e ze lahilahy ty amo fitahiañe natolo’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’o azoo.
18 “Appoint judges and other officials throughout your tribes, in all the towns [in the land] that Yahweh our God is giving to you. They must judge people fairly/justly.
Hajado’o amy ze rova hatolo’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’o azo amy ze hene fifokoañe ty mpizaka naho ty mpifehe, vaho ho zakae’ iereo an-jaka vantañe ondatio.
19 They must not judge unjustly. They must not favor one person more than another. The judges must not accept bribes, because if a judge accepts a bribe, even if he is wise and honest, it will be very difficult for him to judge fairly [IDM]; [he will do what the person who gave him the bribe wants him to do and declare that] the righteous/innocent people [must be punished].
Ko manao zaka vilañe, le ko mirihy ondaty, naho ko mandrambe vokàñe, amy te haripe’ ty vokàñe ty fihaino’ o mahihitseo vaho ampikelohe’e ty saontsi’ o vañoñeo.
20 You must be completely fair and just [DOU], in order that you will enter and occupy the land that Yahweh our God is giving to you.”
Ty hatò, ty hatò avao ty horihe’o, soa te ho veloñe, handovà’o i tane atolo’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’o azoy.
21 “When you make an altar to worship Yahweh our God, do not put next to it any wooden statue [that represents] the goddess Asherah.
Ko añoreña’o bodan-kataeñ’ inoñ’ inoñe marine i kitrely ho ranjie’o ho a Iehovà Andrianañahare’oy;
22 And do not set up any [stone] pillar [to worship any idol, because] Yahweh hates them.”
le ko ampitroara’o boda-iambaneañe, ie heje’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’o.
