Deuteronomy 26
1 “After you occupy the land that Yahweh our God is giving to you, and you (have settled/are living) there,
Ary rehefa tonga ao amin’ ny tany izay omen’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrao ho lovanao ianao ka mandova azy ary monina ao,
2 [each of] you must take some of the first crops that you harvest, put them in a basket, and take them to the place that Yahweh will have chosen for you to worship [MTY] there.
dia analao ny voaloham-bokatra rehetra amin’ ny tany, izay alainao avy amin’ ny taninao, izay omen’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrao anao, ka ataovy an-karona; ary mankanesa ho any amin’ ny tany izay hofidin’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrao hampitoerany ny anarany;
3 Go to the Supreme Priest who is serving at that time and say to him, ‘[By giving you this first part of my harvest] today, I am declaring to Yahweh our God that I have [picked it in] the land that he vowed to our ancestors to give to us.’
dia mankanesa amin’ ny mpisorona amin izany andro izany, ka lazao aminy hoe: Manambara amin’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrao aho anio fa tonga eto amin’ ny tany izay nianianan’ i Jehovah tamin’ ny razantsika homeny antsika.
4 Then the priest must take the basket of food from your hand and put it on the altar where sacrifices are offered to Yahweh our God.
Dia horaisin’ ny mpisorona eny an-tananao ny harona ka hapetrany eo anoloan’ ny alitaran’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrao.
5 Then in Yahweh’s presence you must say this: ‘My ancestor [Jacob] was a man from Aram/Syria who was continually wandering [from one place to another]. He took his family to Egypt. They were a small group [when they went there], but they lived there and their descendants became a very large/populous [DOU] and powerful nation.
Dia hiteny eo anatrehan’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrao ianao ka hanao hoe: Syriana mpanjenjena no raiko, ka nidina tany Egypta izy, dia nivahiny tany mbamin’ ny olom-bitsy; ary tany izy no tonga firenena lehibe sy mahery sady maro isa.
6 Then the people of Egypt treated them very harshly [DOU], and they forced them to become their slaves and to work very hard.
Ary nanao ratsy tamintsika ny Egyptiana ka nampahory antsika sy nampanao antsika fanompoana mafy.
7 Then our ancestors cried out to you, Yahweh our God, and you heard them. You saw that they were suffering, and that they were forced to work very hard, and were being oppressed.
Dia nitaraina tamin’ i Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny razantsika, isika, ka nihaino ny feontsika Izy ary nijery ny alahelontsika sy ny asantsika ary ny fahoriantsika;
8 Then by your great power [MTY] and by performing many kinds of miracles [DOU], and other terrifying things, you brought them out of Egypt.
ary tanana mahery sy sandry nahinjitra sy fampahatahorana lehibe sy famantarana ary fahagagana no nitondran’ i Jehovah antsika nivoaka avy tany Egypta,
9 You brought us to this land and gave it to us, a land that is very fertile [IDM].
dia nitondra antsika niditra teto amin’ ity tany ity Izy ka nanome antsika ity tany ity, dia tany tondra-dronono sy tantely.
10 So now, Yahweh, I have brought to you the first part of the harvest from the land that I received.’ Then you must set the basket down in Yahweh’s presence and worship him there.
Ary ankehitriny, Jehovah ô, indro, efa nentiko ny voaloham-bokatra amin’ ny tany izay nomenao ahy. Dia avelao eo anatrehan’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrao ny zavatra, ary mivavaha eo anatrehan’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrao.
11 And you must celebrate [by eating a meal together to thank] Yahweh our God for all the good things that he has given to you and to your family. And you must invite the descendants of Levi and the foreigners who are living among you to also rejoice [and eat] with you.
Ary mifalia amin’ ny soa rehetra izay nomen’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrao anao sy ny ankohonanao ianao sy ny Levita mbamin’ ny vahiny eo aminao.
12 Every third year, you must bring to the descendants of Levi and to the foreigners [who are living among you] and the orphans and the widows (a tithe/10 percent) of your crops, in order that in every town they will have plenty to eat.
Rehefa voangonao ny fahafolon-karena rehetra avy amin’ ny vokatrao amin’ ny taona fahatelo, izay taona fanangonana ny fahafolon-karena, dia omeo ny Levita sy ny vahiny sy ny kamboty ary ny mpitondratena izany, mba hohaniny ao an-tanànanao, ka ho voky izy,
13 Then you must say to Yahweh, ‘I have brought to you, from my house, all of the sacred tithe [from my harvest this year]. I am giving it to the descendants of Levi, to the foreigners, the orphans, and the widows, as you commanded us to do. I have not disobeyed any of your commands [about the tithes], and I have not forgotten any of your commands [about tithes].
ary dia lazao eo anatrehan’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrao hoe: Efa navoakako avokoa ny zava-masìna tao an-tranoko ka nomeko ny Levita sy ny vahiny sy ny kamboty ary ny mpitondratena, araka ny lalànao rehetra izay nandidianao ahy; tsy nandika ny didinao aho na nanadino azy.
14 [I declare that] I have not eaten any food from the tithe while I was mourning [for someone who died]. And I have not touched any of it while I was unacceptable to you; I have not offered any of it to [spirits of] dead people. Yahweh, I have obeyed you and done everything that you have commanded us [concerning the tithe].
Tsy nisy nohaniko teo amin’ ny fisaonako, na nentiko nivoaka teo amin’ ny fahalotoako, na nataoko fahan-kanina noho ny maty; fa efa nihaino ny feon’ i Jehovah Andriamanitro aho ka nanao araka izay rehetra nandidianao ahy.
15 So [please] look down from your holy place in heaven, and bless us, your Israeli people. Also bless this very fertile [IDM] land which you have given to us, which is what you promised our ancestors that you would do.’
Tsinjovy ao amin’ ny fonenanao masìna any an-danitra, ka tahio ny Isiraely olonao sy ny tany izay nomenao anay araka izay nianiananao tamin’ ny razanay, dia tany tondra-dronono sy tantely.
16 Today Yahweh our God is commanding you to obey all these rules and regulations. So obey them faithfully, with your entire inner being [DOU].
Anio no andidian’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrao anao hanaraka ireo didy sy fitsipika ireo; koa tandremo sy araho amin’ ny fonao rehetra sy ny fanahinao rehetra ireo.
17 Today you have declared that Yahweh is your God, and that you will conduct your lives as he wants you to do, and that you will obey all his commands and rules and regulations, and that you will do all that he tells you to do.
Efa nampiteny an’ i Jehovah ianao androany fa ho Andriamanitrao Izy, ka handeha amin’ ny lalany sy hitandrina ny lalàny sy ny didiny ary ny fitsipiny ianao ary hihaino ny feony.
18 And today Yahweh has declared that you are his people, which is what he promised that you would be, and he commands you to obey all his commands.
Ary Jehovah kosa efa nampiteny anao androany fa firenena rakitra soa ho Azy ianao, araka izay nolazainy taminao, mba hitandremanao ny didiny rehetra,
19 If you do that, he will cause you to become greater than any other nation that he has established, and he will enable you to praise him and honor him [DOU]. You will truly belong to Yahweh our God, which is what he has promised.”
sy hanandratany anao ho ambonin’ ny firenena rehetra izay nataony, ho fiderana sy ho anarana ary ho voninahitra ary mba ho firenena masìna ho an’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrao ianao, araka izay nolazainy.
