Deuteronomy 31
1 When Moses/I finished saying all that to the Israeli people,
Ary Mosesy nandeha, dia nilaza izao teny izao tamin’ ny Isiraely rehetra
2 he/I said to them, “Now I am 120 years old. I am no longer able to go everywhere [that you go] (OR, to be your leader). Furthermore, Yahweh has told me that I will not cross the Jordan [River].
ka nanao taminy hoe: Efa roa-polo amby zato taona androany aho ka tsy afa-mivoaka sy miditra intsony, ary Jehovah efa nilaza tamiko hoe: Tsy hita io Jordana io ianao.
3 But Yahweh our God will go ahead of you. He will [enable you to] destroy the nations that are living there, in order that you can occupy their land. Joshua will be your leader, which is what Yahweh already told me.
Jehovah Andriamanitrao no hita eo alohanao, ary Izy no handringana ireo firenena ireo tsy ho eo anoloanao, ka hahazo ny taniny ianao; ary Josoa no hita eo alohanao, araka izay efa nolazain’ i Jehovah.
4 Yahweh will do to those nations what he did to Sihon and Og, the two kings of the Amor people-group when he destroyed their armies [MTY].
Ary Jehovah hanao amin’ ireo tahaka ny nataony tamin’ i Sihona sy Oga, mpanjakan’ ny Amorita, izay naringany, sy tahaka ny nataony tamin’ ny taniny.
5 Yahweh will enable you to conquer those nations, but you must [kill all of the people of those nations, which is] what I have commanded you to do.
Dia hatolotr’ i Jehovah eo anoloanareo ireo hanaovanareo azy araka ny lalàna rehetra izay nandidiako anareo.
6 Be brave and confident. Do not be afraid of those people. [Do not forget that] it is Yahweh our God who will go with you. He will always help [LIT] you and never abandon you.”
Mahereza sy matanjaha; aza matahotra na manahy azy; fa Jehovah Andriamanitrao no miara-mandeha aminao; tsy handao anao na hahafoy anao Izy.
7 Then Moses/I summoned Joshua, and while all the Israeli people were listening, he/I said to him, “Be brave and confident. You are the one who will lead these people into the land that Yahweh promised to our ancestors that he would give to them, and you will enable them to occupy it.
Ary Mosesy niantso an’ i Josoa ka niteny taminy teo imason’ ny Isiraely rehetra hoe: Mahereza sy matanjaha; fa ianao sy ity firenena ity dia hiara-miditra ao amin’ ny tany izay nianianan’ i Jehovah tamin’ ny razany homena azy; ary ianao no hampandova azy izany.
8 It is Yahweh who will go ahead of you. He will be with you. He will always help [LIT] you. He will never abandon you. So do not be afraid or dismayed.”
Ary Jehovah no mandeha eo alohanao; ary Izy no hiaraka aminao; tsy handao anao na hahafoy anao Izy; koa aza matahotra na mivadi-po ianao.
9 Moses/I wrote down all these laws [on two scrolls] and gave [one scroll] to the priests, who carried the chest containing the Ten Commandments, and [gave the other scroll] to the Israeli elders.
Dia nosoratan’ i Mosesy izany lalàna izany ka natolony ireo mpisorona, taranak’ i Levy, izay mpitondra ny fiaran’ ny faneken’ i Jehovah, sy ny loholon’ ny Isiraely rehetra.
10 Moses/I told them, “At the end of every seven years, at the time that all debts are canceled, [read this to the people] during the Festival of [Living in Temporary] Shelters.
Dia nandidy azy Mosesy ka nanao hoe: Isam-pito taona, dia amin’ ny taom-panafahana, amin’ ny andro firavoravoana fitoerana amin’ ny trano rantsan-kazo,
11 Read it to all the Israeli people when they gather at the place that Yahweh chooses for them to worship him.
ka avy hiseho eo anatrehan’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrao eo amin’ ny tany izay hofidiny ny Isiraely rehetra, dia aoka hovakinao eo anatrehan’ ny Isiraely rehetra ny tenin’ ity lalàna ity hihainoany azy.
12 Gather together everyone—men, women, children, even the foreigners [who are living] in your towns—in order that they may hear [these laws] and learn to revere Yahweh our God, and to faithfully obey everything that is written in these laws.
Vorio ny vahoaka rehetra, na lehilahy, na vehivavy, na ankizy madinika, na ny vahiny ao an-tanànanao, hihainoany sy hianarany ka hatahorany an’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrao sy hitandremany hanaraka ny teny rehetra amin’ ity lalàna ity.
13 [If they do that], your descendants who have never known these laws will hear them and will also learn to revere Yahweh our God, during all the years that they live in the land that you are about to cross the Jordan [River] to occupy.”
Ary ny zanany koa, izay tsy nahalala, dia handre ka hianatra hatahotra an’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrareo amin’ ny andro rehetra hiainanareo eo amin’ ny tany, izay efa hidiranareo holovana, rehefa tafita an’ i Jordana ianareo.
14 Then Yahweh said to Moses/me, “Listen carefully. You will soon die. Summon Joshua, and you go to the Sacred Tent with him, in order that I may appoint him [to be the new leader].” So Joshua and Moses/I went to the Sacred Tent.
Dia hoy Jehovah tamin’ i Mosesy: Indro, antomotra ny andro hahafatesanao; koa miantsoa an’ i Josoa, ary mitoera ao amin’ ny trano-lay fihaonana ianareo mba handidiako azy. Dia nandeha Mosesy sy Josoa ka nitoetra tao amin’ ny trano-lay fihaonana.
15 There Yahweh appeared to them/us in a pillar of cloud, and that cloud was close to the door of the tent.
Ary Jehovah niseho teo amin’ ny trano-lay tamin’ ny andri-rahona; dia nijanona teo anoloan’ ny varavaran’ ny trano-lay ny andri-rahona.
16 Yahweh said to Moses/me, “You will soon die [EUP]. Then these people will become unfaithful [MET] to me. They will abandon me and (break/stop obeying) the agreement that I made with them. They will begin to worship the foreign/pagan gods [that are worshiped by the people] of the land that they will enter.
Ary hoy Jehovah tamin’ i Mosesy: Indro fa hodi-mandry any amin’ ny razanao ianao; ary hitsangana ity firenena ity ka hijangajanga hanaraka ny andriamani-kafa any amin’ ny tany izay efa hidirany honenana, dia hahafoy Ahy izy ka hivadika ny fanekeko izay nataoko taminy.
17 When that happens, I will become very angry with them. I will abandon them [DOU] and I will no longer help them [IDM], and I will destroy them {they will be destroyed}. Many terrible things will happen to them, with the result that they will say, ‘[We are certain that] [RHQ] these things are happening to us because our God is no longer with us.’
Dia hirehitra aminy ny fahatezerako amin’ izany andro izany, ka hahafoy azy Aho ary hanafina ny tavako aminy, ka ho lany ritra izy, ary loza maro sy fahoriana no hanjo azy; dia hiteny izy amin’ izany andro izany ka hanao hoe: Moa tsy ny tsy itoeran’ Andriamanitro eto amiko va no mahatonga izao fahoriana izao amiko?
18 And because of all the evil things that they will have done, and [especially because] they will have started to worship other gods, I will refuse to help [IDM] them.
Ary Izaho dia hanafina ny tavako tokoa amin’ izany andro izany noho ny ratsy rehetra izay nataony, fa nivily nanaraka andriamani-kafa izy.
19 “So, [I am going to give you] a song. Write it [on a scroll] and teach it to the Israeli people and cause them to memorize it. It will be like a witness that accuses them.
Ary ankehitriny soraty ho anareo izao fihirana izao, ka ampianaro ny Zanak’ Isiraely, ary aoka tsy ho afaka am-bavany izao fihirana izao mba ho vavolombelona amin’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely.
20 I am about to take them into a very fertile [IDM] land, a land that I solemnly promised their ancestors that I would give to them. There they will have plenty to eat, with the result that their [stomachs] will [always] be full and they will become fat. But then they will turn to other gods and start to worship them, and they will despise me and (break/stop obeying) the agreement that I made with them.
Fa rehefa entiko any amin’ ny tany tondra-dronono sy tantely, izay nianianako tamin’ ny razany homena azy izy, ary hihinana ka ho voky sy hihamatavy, dia hivily hanaraka andriamani-kafa izy ka hanompo azy, ary handà Ahy ka hivadika ny fanekeko.
21 And they will experience many terrible disasters. After that happens, their descendants will never forget this song, and it will be like a witness [that says, ‘Now you know why Yahweh punished your ancestors].’ I will soon take them into the land that I vowed that I would give to them; but now, before I do that, I know what they are thinking [that they will do when they are living there].”
Ary raha manjo azy ny zava-dratsy maro sy ny fahoriana, dia ho vavolombelona aminy izao fihirana izao, fa tsy ho afaka am-bavan’ ny taranany izao, fa fantatro ny fisainany izay efa hataony, na dia ankehitriny aza, raha tsy mbola nentiko any amin’ ny tany izay nianianako homena azy izy.
22 So on the day that [Yahweh gave Moses/me this song], he/I wrote it down, and he/I taught it to the Israeli people.
Dia nosoratan’ i Mosesy androtrizay ihany izao fihirana izao ka nampianariny ny Zanak’ Isiraely.
23 Then Yahweh (appointed/set apart) Joshua and said to him, “Be brave and confident, because you will lead the Israeli people into the land that I vowed that I would give to them. And I will be with you.”
Ary Jehovah nandidy an’ i Josoa, zanak’ i Nona, ka nanao hoe: Mahereza sy matanjaha; fa ianao no hitondra ny Zanak’ Isiraely hiditra ao amin’ ny tany izay nianianako taminy homena azy, ary homba anao Aho.
24 Then Moses/I finished writing on a scroll all the laws that Yahweh had told to him/me.
Ary rehefa voasoratr’ i Mosesy teo amin’ ny boky avokoa ny tenin’ ity lalàna ity,
25 Then Moses/I told the descendants of Levi, who were carrying the Sacred Chest that contained the Ten Commandments,
dia nandidy ny Levita, izay mpitondra ny fiaran’ ny faneken’ i Jehovah, izy ka nanao hoe:
26 “Take this scroll on which these laws [are written], and place it beside the Sacred Chest that contains the agreement that Yahweh our God made with you, in order that it may remain there to testify [about what Yahweh will do] to the people [if they disobey him].
Raiso ity bokin’ ny lalàna ity, ka apetraho eo anilan’ ny fiaran’ ny faneken’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrareo mba ho vavolombelona aminao.
27 [I say this] because I know that these people are very stubborn [DOU]. They have rebelled against Yahweh all during the time that I have been [with them], and they will rebel much more after I die!
Fa izaho mahalala ny ditranao sy ny hamafi-hatokao; indro, na dia mbola velona eto aminareo ankehitriny aza aho, dia miodina amin’ i Jehovah ianareo, ka mainka fa rehefa maty aho.
28 So gather all the elders of the tribes and your officials, in order that I can tell them the words [of this song], and request all those who are in heaven and on the earth to be witnesses to testify against these people.
Vorio ho eto amiko ny loholona rehetra amin’ ny firenenareo sy ny mpifehy anareo, mba holazaiko eo anatrehany izao teny izao; ary hiantso ny lanitra sy ny tany ho vavolombelona aminy aho.
29 I say that because I know that after I die, the people will become very wicked. They will turn away from doing everything that I have commanded them to do. And in the future, because of all the evil things that they will do, they will cause Yahweh to become angry with them. And he will cause them to experience disasters.”
Fa fantatro fa rehefa maty aho, dia hanao ratsy tokoa ianareo ka hiala amin’ ny lalana izay nasaiko nalehanareo; dia ho tratry ny loza ianareo any am-parany, satria hanao izay ratsy eo imason’ i Jehovah ianareo ka hampahatezitra Azy amin’ ny asan’ ny tananareo.
30 Then, while all the Israeli people listened, Moses/I sang/recited this entire song to them:
Dia nolazain’ i Mosesy teo anatrehan’ ny fiangonana, dia ny Isiraely rehetra, ny tenin’ izao fihirana izao mandra-pahavitany.
