Deuteronomy 28
1 “If you do what Yahweh our God tells you to do and faithfully obey everything that I am today commanding you to do, he will cause you to become greater than any other nation on the earth.
Aa ie amy zao, naho janjiñe’o ty fiarañanaña’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’o hañorike vaho hanao ze hene lili’e lilieko azo androany le honjone’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’o ambone’ ze hene foko’ ty tane toy.
2 If you obey Yahweh, this is what he will do to bless you:
Le hitotsak’ ama’o o fitahiañe rezao, toe hivotrak’ ama’o naho haoñe’o t’Iehovà Andrianañahare’o.
3 He will bless everything that you do when you are in the cities and he will bless everything that you do when you are [working] in the fields.
Ho tahie’e an-drova ao irehe, le ho tahie’e an-tonda ao.
4 He will bless you by giving you many children [IDM] and by giving you abundant crops, and plenty of cattle and sheep.
Ho tahie’e ty vokam-pañova’o, naho ty voka’ ty tane’o, naho ty voka’ o hare’oo, ty fibodobodoa’ o añombe’oo, naho ty fitomboa’ o anak’ añondri’oo.
5 He will bless you by causing you to have good harvests with plenty of grain [MTY] to make bread.
Ho tahie’e ty zahe’o naho ty akalam-bokoboko’o.
6 He will bless you [everywhere]—when you go out [of your houses] and when you come into [your houses].
Ho tahie’e ty fiziliha’o naho ho tahie’e ty fiengà’o.
7 Yahweh will enable you to defeat [the armies of] your enemies; they will attack you from one direction, but they will run away from you in seven/many directions.
Hampizevoñe’ Iehovà añatrefa’o eo ze rafelahi’o hitroatse haname azo; hiboaha’e an-koe, le mb’an-dalam-pito mb’eo ty hitribaña’e an-day.
8 Yahweh will bless you [by filling] your barns [with grain], and he will bless all the work that you do; he will bless you in the land that he is giving to you.
Handily fitahiañe ama’o t’Iehovà, an-driha’o ao naho amy ze hene toloñem-pità’o, le ho tahie’e irehe an-tane atolo’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’o azo.
9 “If you obey all the commandments that Yahweh our God [has given to you] and if you conduct your lives as he wants you to do, you will continue to be his people, which is what he promised.
Ho ventè’ Iehovà t’ie ondati’e miavake, amy nifantà’e ama’oy naho ambena’o o lili’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’oo vaho añaveloa’o o lala’eo.
10 “When all the people-groups on the earth will realize that you belong to [MTY] Yahweh, and they will be afraid of you.
Ho oni’ ze kila ondati’ ty tane toy t’ie kanjieñe amy tahina’ Iehovày vaho hañeveña’ iareo.
11 “And Yahweh will cause you to prosper very much. He will give you many children [IDM], many cattle, and abundant crops in the land that he vowed to our ancestors that he would give to you.
Hampiraoraoe’ Iehovà o havokara’oo, ty vokam-pañova’o, naho ty fitomboa’ o añombe’oo naho ty havokara’ ty tete’o amy tane nifantà’ Iehovà an-droae’o hatolo’e azoy.
12 “When rain is needed, Yahweh will send it from where he stores it in the sky, and he will bless all your work, with the result that you [will be able to] lend money to many other nations, but you will not need to borrow [money from them].
Ho sokafe’ Iehovà ama’o o riha’e fanjàkao: hampahavia’ i likerañey orañe an-tane’o eo an-tsa’e, le ho tahie’e ze hene fitoloñam-pità’o. Le hampisongo rofoko maro irehe fa tsy hisongo.
13 If you faithfully obey all of the commands of Yahweh our God that I am giving you today, Yahweh will cause your nation to be a leader among the nations, not inferior to them; you will always be prosperous and never be needy/poor [IDM].
Hanoe’ Iehovà lohà’e irehe fa tsy voli’e; le ho ambone avao irehe fa tsy ho ambane, naho tsatsihe’o o lili’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’o lilieko androanio naho hanoe’o an-tsontèñeñe
14 [Yahweh will do all these things for you] if you do not turn away from [obeying] what I am commanding you today, and if you never worship or serve other gods.
naho tsy hivik’ ami’ty tsara inoñ’ inoñe lilieko anito, mb’am-pitàn-kavana, ndra mb’ankavia hañorike ‘ndrahare hafa hitoroña’o.
15 But if you do not do what Yahweh our God is telling you to do, and if you do not faithfully obey all his rules and regulations that I am giving to you today, this is what he will do to curse you:
Fe ho avy ama’o, naho tsy haoñe’o ty fiarañanaña’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’o hambena’o naho hanoe’o o lili’eo naho o fañè’e lilieko azo androanio; eka hifetsak’ ama’o vaho hiambotraha’ o fonga fatse rezao:
16 He will curse you when you are in the cities and he will curse you when you are [working] in the fields.
Hafàtse irehe te an-drova vaho hafàtse te an-tetek’ ao.
17 He will curse you by not allowing you to have good harvests with plenty of grain [MTY] to make bread.
Hafàtse ty haro’o naho ty akala fampibokobokoa’o mofo.
18 He will curse you by giving you only a few children [IDM], by causing you to have poor crops, and by not enabling you to have many cattle and sheep.
Hafàtse ty vokam-pañova’o naho ty voka’ ty tane’o naho ty fitombo’ o hare’oo vaho o anak’añondrio’oo.
19 He will curse you [everywhere]—when you go out [of your houses] and when you come into [your houses].
Hafàtse t’ie mimoake vaho hafàtse te miavotse.
20 If you do evil things and reject Yahweh, he will curse you by causing you to (be confused/not know what to do), and to be frustrated in everything that you do, until [your enemies] quickly and completely destroy you {you will be quickly and completely destroyed}.
Haobo’ Iehovà ama’o ty ozoñe, ty hasalarañe, naho ty endake, amy ze toloñem-pità’o iaby am-para’ te rotsake, hikoromaha’o aniany, ty amo halòn-tseren-tsata’oo, ty amy niambohoa’o ahiy.
21 Yahweh will cause you to experience terrible diseases, until not one of you remains alive in the land that you are about to enter and occupy.
Hapite’ Iehovà ama’o ty angorosy am-para’ t’ie nabotse’e an-tane imoaha’o ho tavane’o añe.
22 Yahweh will strike/afflict you with diseases that shrivel your bodies, with fever, with inflammation/swelling. It will be extremely hot, and it will not rain. There will be scorching winds, and [Yahweh will cause] your crops to rot. All these things will strike you until you die.
Haretsa’ Iehovà ama’o ty hiehie, ty firemboremboañe, ty sandri-mena, ty hatsovovohañe, ty fibara, ty mpikoli’e, ty bobongolo, hañoridañe azo am-para’ t’ie mongotse.
23 There will be no rain [MET], [with the result that] the ground will be [as hard as] iron [MET].
Ho torisìke i likerañe ambonen’ añ’ ambone’o eiy vaho ho viñe ty tane ambane’o eo.
24 Instead of sending rain, Yahweh will send strong winds to blow sand and dust over your land, until your land is ruined.
Hampinjarè’ Iehovà bo naho deboke ty orañ’ an-tane’o; boak’ andikerañe ty hiavia’e am-para’ te mianto irehe.
25 Yahweh will enable your enemies to defeat you; your soldiers will attack your enemies from one direction, but they will run away from your enemies in seven/many directions, and when the people of other nations see what is happening to you, they will say that it is horrible.
Hampigiohe’ Iehovà irehe añatrefa’ o rafelahi’oo, hiavotse mb’ an-dalañe raike irehe hañoridañe iareo, f’ie hivoratsake mb’an-dalam-pito aolo’ iareo mb’eo, le ho fangebakebahañe amo fonga fifehea’ ty tane toio.
26 [You will die], and birds and wild animals will come and eat your corpses, and there will not be anyone to scare/shoo them away.
Ho fihina’ o fonga voron-tiokeo ty fate’o, naho o biby an-kivok’ ao le tsy eo ty hanao soike.
27 Yahweh will cause you to have boils on your skin, like he caused the people of Egypt to have [many years ago]. He will cause you to have tumors, open sores, and your skin will itch, and there will be nothing that will cure those diseases.
Hapao’ Iehovà ama’o ty bae-tovoa’ i Mitsraime, naho ty bohìñe naho ty hàteñe vaho ty hìly tsy mete janganeñe.
28 Yahweh will cause [some of] you to become insane; he will cause some of you to become blind, and he will cause [some of] your minds to become confused.
Ho kabohe’ Iehovà hadagolañe naho hagoan-drehe vaho hatsiborohetohan’ troke.
29 [Because you will not be able to see where you are going], at midday you will (grope/feel your way) around with your hands, like people do in the darkness. You will continually be oppressed and robbed, and no one will help you.
Hitsapatsapa an-tsingilingiliñeñe irehe manahake ty fijebejebea’ ty tòfak’ an-kamoromoroña’e ao, le tsy hiraorao amo sata’oo, f’ie ho forekekeñe naho ho tavaneñe avao fa pitso-pandrombake.
30 Some of you men will be engaged/promised to marry a young woman, but someone else will rape her. You will build houses, but you will never live in them. You will plant grapevines, but you will not eat the grapes; [someone else will eat them].
Hifofo valy irehe f’ie hiolora’ ondaty; hañoren-traño f’ie tsy himoneña’o, hambole tetem-bahe fe tsy ho toloñe’o o valobo’eo.
31 Your enemies will butcher your cattle while you watch them, and you will not get any of the meat to eat. They will drag away your donkeys while you watch them do it, and they will not give them back to you. They will take away your sheep; and no one will help you [rescue them].
Ho lentàñe aolom-pihaino’o eo ty vosi’o f’ie tsy hikama’o, ho tavaneñe añatrefan-dahara’o eo ty borìke’o fa tsy himpoly ama’o; hatolotse an-drafelahi’o o añondri’oo le tsy eo ty handrombake.
32 While you watch, your sons and daughters will be given to foreigners to become their slaves. Every day you will very sadly watch for your children to return, but (you will watch in vain/they will never return).
Hatolotse ami’ty foko ila’e o anadahi’oo naho o anak’ ampela’oo le ho jilojiloem-pihaino’o lomoñandro iareo f’ie hilesa, vaho ho po-kaozarañe ty fità’o.
33 People from a foreign nation will take all the crops that you worked hard to produce, and they will constantly treat you harshly and cruelly [DOU].
Habotsem-poko tsy fohi’o ze fonga havokara’ o tane’oo naho ze hene fitoloña’o naho hampisoañeñe vaho ho demodemoheñe nainai’e,
34 The result will be that all these terrible things that you see/experience will cause you to become insane.
le ho seretse irehe am-pahaisaham-pihaino’o ty amo ho isa’oo.
35 Yahweh will cause your legs [to be covered with] painful boils that cannot be healed, and you will have boils from the bottoms of your feet to the tops of your heads.
Ho paohe’ Iehovà an-kòna tsy lefe melañeñe ty ongo’o naho kitso’o, toe boak’ an-dela-pandia’o pak’an-kevo’o eo.
36 Yahweh will cause your king and the rest of you to be taken to another country, to a place in which you and your ancestors have never lived before, and there you will worship and serve gods that are made of wood or stone.
Hasese’ Iehovà mb’am-pifeheañe tsy nifohi’o, ihe ndra o roae’oo, rekets’ i mpanjaka najado’o ho mpifelek’ azoy; vaho añe ty hitoroña’o ty ndrahare ila’e: hatae naho vato.
37 When the people-groups in nearby countries see what has happened to you, they will be shocked/horrified; they will make fun [DOU] of you.
Le ho firevendreveñan-drehe, ho razan-drehake naho fañonjira’ ze hene foko hitehafa’ Iehovà azo añe.
38 You will plant plenty of seeds in your fields, but you will reap only a small harvest, because locusts will eat the crops.
Hilogologo tabiry mb’ an-tetek’ ao irehe fe tsy ampeampe ty hatonto’o an-driha, fa habotse’ ty valala.
39 You will plant grapevines and take care of them, but you will not pick any grapes to make wine, because worms will eat the vines.
Hambole naho hañalahala tetem-bahe, fe tsy hinome’o ty divai’e, tsy hatonto’o o valobo’eo fa havorembore’ ty oletse.
40 Olive trees will grow everywhere in your land, but you will not get any olive oil to rub on your skin because the olives will drop [on the ground before they are ripe].
Ho tsitsihen-katae olive ty tane’o fa ihe tsy hihoso-menake, amy te hihintsam-boa o hatae oliveo.
41 You will have sons and daughters, but they will not stay with you, because they will be captured and taken away.
Hitoly ana-dahy naho anak’ampela fa tsy ho ama’o, homb’ am-pandrohizañe añe iereo.
42 Swarms of locusts/insects will eat your crops and [the leaves of] all your trees.
Fonga ho tavane’ o valalao o hatae’oo naho ty voka’ o tane’oo.
43 Foreigners who live in your land will become more and more [powerful], and you will become less and less [powerful].
Hitoabotoabotse ambone’o ty renetane ama’o ao, ihe mirèke mañambane avao.
44 They will [have money to] lend to you, but you will not [have any money to] lend to them. They will be superior [IDM] to you, and you will be inferior to them [IDM].
Hampisongo ama’o re, fa ihe tsy hampisongo ama’e, ie ty ho lohà’e le ihe ty ho ohi’e.
45 “You will experience all these disasters, and you will continue to experience them you until you are destroyed, if you do not do what Yahweh your God told you to do, and do not obey all the rules and regulations that he gave to you.
Hifetsak’ ama’o i fàtse rezay naho hiridarida hanjòmotse azo ampara’ t’ie rotsake, amy te tsy nihaoñe’o ty fiarañanaña’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’o, tsy nambena’o o lili’e naho fañè’e nandilia’e azoo.
46 “These disasters will warn [DOU] you and your descendants forever [about what happens to groups who disobey Yahweh].
Le ho viloñe naho halatsañe ama’o naho amo tarira’oo nainai’e kitro katroke irezay;
47 “Because Yahweh blessed you abundantly in many ways, you should have served him very joyfully [DOU], but you did not do that.
amy t’ie tsy nitoroñe Iehovà Andrianañahare’o am-pirebehañe naho an-kafalean’ arofo’o ty amo fitobahan-kavokarañe iabio.
48 “Therefore, you will work for the enemies whom Yahweh will send to attack you. You will be hungry and thirsty; you will not have clothes to wear; and you will lack everything else that you need. And Yahweh will cause you to become slaves [MET] and work hard until he gets rid of you.
Aa le ho toroñe’o ty rafelahi’o nampañoridañe’ Iehovà ama’o, an-kasalikoañe, an-taliñiereñe, am-pihaloañe naho an-kararahañe vaho hanampeza’e joka vy ty fititia’o am-para te rotsake.
49 “Yahweh will cause an army from very far away [HYP] to attack you, whose soldiers speak a language that you do not know/understand. They will swoop down on you [quickly] like an eagle [SIM] attacks its prey.
Hendese’ Iehovà hirik’ an-tsietoitane, boak’ añ’olo-ty tane toy añe, manahake ty fitsiritsion-tsimalaho; ty foko tsy fohi’o fisaontsy;
50 They will be fierce looking. They will not act mercifully toward anyone, not even young children and old people.
t’indaty mihelok’ an-tarehe’e, tsy mañaoñe ondaty bey, tsy miferenaiñe ty kede.
51 They will [kill and] eat your livestock, and they will eat your crops, and you will (starve/die because you do not have anything to eat). They will not leave for you any grain or wine or [olive] oil or cattle or sheep; and you will all die [from hunger].
Mbore habotse’e ty tiri’ o añombe’oo, naho ty havokara’ ty tane’o am-para’ t’ie rotsake; tsy hapo’e ty tsako, ty divai-vao, ty menake, vaho ty fitomboa’ o bibi’oo naho o anan-dia-rai’oo ampara’ t’ie nampimomohe’e.
52 Your enemies will surround your towns throughout the land that Yahweh your God is about to give to you, and they will break down the high and strong walls [around your towns], walls which you trusted/thought would protect you.
Le hiarikoboña’e o fonga rova’oo ampara’ te mihotrake o kijoli-abo niatoa’o an-tane’oo; vaho hamalañ’ azo re an-dalam-bein-drova’o iaby, hanitsike i tane’ natolo’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’o azoy.
53 “When your enemies are surrounding [your towns], you will be extremely hungry, with the result that you will eat the flesh of your own sons and daughters that Yahweh your God has given to you.
Le ho kamae’o ty vokam-pañova’o, ty nofo’ o ana-dahi’o naho o anak’ ampela’o natolo’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’o azoo, amy fiarikoboñañey naho amy haemberañe hanotria’ o rafelahi’ooy.
54 When your enemies have surrounded your towns, even the most gentle and sensitive men among you will want food very desperately, with the result that they will [kill their own children and] eat their flesh, because they will not have anything else to eat. They will not even share any of it with their brothers or wives whom they love very much or with any of their children who are still alive.
Handofiry aman-drolongo’e naho ami’ty vali’e añ’ araña’e eo naho amo amory honka’eo ty fihaino’ ondaty tsotra naho mora-arofo ama’ areo ao,
amy ty fatiti’e tsy hanisa am’ iareo ty nofon’ ana’e ho kamae’e; ami’ty hapoi’e amy haemberañe hanotria’ o rafelahi’eo aze an-drova’o ao iabiy.
56 Even the most gentle and sensitive/kind women among you, who are very refined/rich with the result that they have never had to walk anywhere [HYP], will do the same thing. When your enemies have surrounded your towns, those women will be extremely hungry, with the result that after they give birth to a baby, they will secretly [kill it and] eat its flesh and also eat its afterbirth. And they will not share any of it with their husbands whom they love very much or with any of their other children.
Le ty rakemba maleme naho tretrañe ama’o ao i tsy mahavany handia tane an-delam-pandia’e ami’ty hatretra’e naho ami’ty fitrotrotrotroa’e ro hanao fihaino mena amy valin’ araña’ey naho ami’ty ana-dahi’e naho ami’ty anak’ampela’e,

58 “If you do not faithfully obey all of the laws that I am writing, and if you do not revere Yahweh our glorious God [MTY],
Aa naho tsy hene ambena’o hanoeñe ze enta’ i Tsara sinokitse ami’ty boke toiy, hañeveña’o i tahinañe rengèñe naho mampañeveñey, Iehovà Andrianañahare’o;
59 he will [punish you by] causing you and your descendants to experience great afflictions and plagues which will last for many years.
le hafetsa’ Iehovà ama’o ty angorosy mahadaba, naho ty hatarareañe o tiri’oo, naho rare raty mitoboke ela, vaho ho tokoen-kasilofañe manaentaeñe nainai’e.
60 He will cause you to experience the plagues that he sent on the people of Egypt, and you will never be healed.
Mbore hampifetsahe’e ama’o ze fonga arete’ i Mitsraime nihembaña’oo, le hapiteke ama’o.
61 He will also cause you to experience many other sicknesses and diseases that I have not talked about in these laws, until you all will die.
Le hapo’ Iehovà ama’o ka ze arete aman’ angorosy tsy sinokitse ami’ty Boke Hake toy ampara’ te hikoromake.
62 You became as numerous as the stars in the sky, but only a few of you will remain alive, if you do not obey Yahweh your God.
Le hengañe tsy ampeampe irehe, ihe nifamorohotse mira amo vasian-dikerañeo taolo, amy te tsy nihaoñe’o ty fiarañanaña’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’o.
63 Yahweh was very happy to do good things for you and to cause you to become very numerous, but now he will be happy to ruin you and get rid of you. [Those of] you [who do not die from these plagues] will be snatched away from the land that you will soon be entering to possess.
Ie amy zay, hambañe ami’ty nirebeha’ Iehovà ama’o, hañasoa’e azo naho hampamorohota’e, ro hirebeha’ Iehovà ami’ty fandrotsaha’e, naho ty hampamongora’e azo, ie ho karaohe’e amy tane nandena’o nitavane’oy.
64 “Yahweh will scatter you among many people-groups, all over the earth, and in those areas/places you will serve other gods that are made of wood or stone, gods which you and your ancestors have never known/worshiped.
Le hampiparaitahe’ Iehovà amo hene foko’ ty tane toio, boak’ añ’olo’e añe sikal’ añ’olots’ ila’e añe, le hitoron-drahare ankafaankafa añe ze mboe lia’e tsy nifohi’o ndra o rae’oo: hatae naho vato.
65 In those places you will be restless. Yahweh will cause you to be constantly worried/anxious, feel hopeless, and discouraged.
Le tsy hierañerañe amy tane rezay irehe, naho tsy hahatrea fitofàñe ao ty lelam-pandia’o; f’ie ho tolora’ Iehovà arofo mihitikitike naho fihaino milesa vaho fivetsevetse mioremèñe.
66 You will always be afraid that your enemies will kill you. You will be very fearful, all day and all night.
Hiradorado am-pimarimarihañe aolo’o eo ty fiai’o le hampirevendreveñe azo ty tariñ’ andro naho ty haleñe le ho po-kazavàñ’ arofo ty ami’ty fiai’o.
67 Because you will be very fearful/afraid because of the [terrible] things that you see, each morning you will say ‘I wish it were evening already!’ and each evening you will say ‘I wish it were morning already!’
Hanao ty hoe irehe te maraindray: Ee any t’ie nihariva, naho an-kariva, ty hoe, Ehe t’ie nimaraindraiñe! ty amy fihembañañ’ arofo’oy, amy inevenevera’oy, naho ty amo isahem-pihaino’o ho isa’oo.
68 Yahweh will send [some of] you back to Egypt in ships, even though he promised that you would never [be forced to] go there again. There in Egypt you will try to sell yourselves to become slaves of your enemies [in order to have food to eat], but no one will buy you. [All those things will happen to you if you do not obey the laws that Yahweh is giving to you].”
Le hampolie’ Iehovà mb’e Mitsraime an-tsambo, amy lalañe nitaroñeko azoy te: Tsy handena’o ka! añe irehe ro handeta sandriñe an-drafelahi’o h’ondevo-lahy naho ondevo-ampela, fe tsy eo ty hikalo azo.
