Deuteronomy 32
1 “Listen to me, [all you who are in the] heavens, and [all you who are on the] earth, listen to what I say [MTY].
Anokilaño ravembia ry likerañeo, le hivolan-draho; Janjiño ry tane toy o entam-bavakoo.
2 I wish/desire that my teaching will fall on you like rain drops or be like dew on the ground, and be like a gentle rain on the young plants, like showers on the grass.
Ee te himiamia manahake ty fiavi’ i orañey o tarokoo, le hitsopatsopake hoe zono o rehakoo, hambañe ami’ty fimitemiteha’e amo ahetseo naho ty finiziniziha’e amo rongoñeo.
3 I will praise Yahweh [MTY]. And [all you people should] tell others that our God is very great.
Fa ho tseizeko ty tahina’ Iehovà, onjono ty hara’elahi’ i Andrianañaharen-tikañey.
4 He is like a rock [MET] [under which we are protected]; [everything] that he does is perfect and completely just/fair [DOU]. He always does what he says that he will do; he never does anything that is wrong.
I Lamilamiy: Fiaintane o fitoloña’eo, hene marentane o lala’eo: Andrianañahare migahiñe tsy aman-tahy, vañoñe naho vantañe.
5 “But [you Israeli people] have been very unfaithful to him; because of your sins, you no longer [deserve to] be his children. You are extremely wicked and deceitful [DOU].
Fa nanoa’iareo hamengohañe, toe tsy ana’e ty amy hila’ iareo, ty tariratse vìlañe naho mengoke tia.
6 You foolish and senseless [DOU] people, (is this the way that you should repay Yahweh [for all that he has done for you]?/this is certainly not the way that you should repay Yahweh [for all that he has done for you].) [RHQ] He is your father; he created you [RHQ]; he caused you to become a nation.
Izay hao ty añavaha’ areo am’ Iehovà ry dagola, ry ondaty tsi-mahilalao? tsy ie hao ty Rae’o nivily azo? Tsy ie hao ty nitsene azo, vaho nañoreñ’ azo?
7 “Think about [what happened] long ago; consider what happened to your ancestors. Ask your parents, and they will inform you; ask the older people, and they will tell you.
Tiahio o andro haehaeo; haraharao o taon-tariratse tsi-efao, añontaneo aman-drae’o hanoroa’e, naho aman-androanavi’o hitaroña’iareo.
8 When God, who is greater than any other god, long ago divided the people into groups, he assigned to the nations their land. He determined where each people-group should live and (assigned to/chose for) each people-group a god/angel.
Ie zinara’ i Andindimoneñey amo rofokoo ty lova’ iareo; naho naparaita’e o ana’ i Dameo, le nefetsefere’e ty ami’ty ia’ o ana’ Israeleo.
9 But Yahweh decided that we would be his people; he chose [us, the descendants of] Jacob, to belong to him.
Fa anjara’ Iehovà ondati’eo; Iakobe ro anjara’ lova’e.
10 “He saw [our ancestors] when they were in a desert, wandering in a land (that was desolate/where no people lived). He protected them and took care of them, as every person takes good care of his own eyes. [SIM, IDM]
Nifanendrek’ama’e an-diolio añe re, am-babangoañe mangoañe mangolalaik’ ao; nohoñe’e naho niatrak’aze, nambena’e hoe t’ie saintem-pihaino’e.
11 [Yahweh protected his people] just like an eagle encourages its babies [to fly] and flutters over them [MET], spreading its wings and catching them [if they start to fall].
Hoe vantio mitsobore ty traño’e, mihefahefa ambone’ o ana’eo, akopakopa’e o ela’eo, vaho rambese’e añ’ela’eo,
12 Yahweh was the only one who led them; no other foreign god helped him.
Iehovà avao ty niaolo aze, ie tsy ama‘ndrahare ila’e.
13 “[After they entered the land that Yahweh promised to give to them], Yahweh enabled them to rule the hilly areas; they ate the crops that grew in the fields. They found honey in the rocks, and their olive trees [MTY] grew [even] in stony ground.
Nampijoñe’e ambonen-kaboa’ ty tane toy, le nihinana’e ty voka’ o tetekeo; nampininihe’e tantele an-tevañe ao, naho menake am-bato-paik’ ao;
14 The cows gave them plenty of curds/yogurt, the goats gave them plenty of milk, they had well-fed sheep and cattle, they had very good wheat, and they made delicious wine from their grapes.
Habobon’añombe naho rononon’ose, ty safom-bik’ añondry, le ty kobatron- dia-rain-tirim-Basaneo, o ose-lahio reketse ty safom-boam-bare-bolè; aman-diom-baloboke ty ninoma’o divay mamore.
15 “The Israeli people became rich and prosperous, but then they rebelled against God; they abandoned him, the one who created them, the one who powerfully saves them.
Fe niha-vondrake t’Iesorone le nikambia; niha-vondrake irehe, niha-mateve, vaho nisometsètse; napo’e t’i Andrianañahare nitsene aze, namoea’e i Lamilamim-pandrombahañ’azey.
16 So he abandoned them because they started to worship other/strange gods. Because of their worshiping disgusting idols, he became angry.
Nitrabihe’ iareo, hamarahia’e o ‘ndrahare ila’eo, nanikisiky aze an-draha tiva.
17 They offered sacrifices to gods who were [really] demons, gods that their ancestors had never known; they offered sacrifices to gods that they had recently found out about, gods whom your ancestors had never revered.
Nisoroña’ iereo amo kokolampao, amo ndrahare tsi’ieo ‘ndrahare tsy nifohi’ iareo, ‘ndrahare vaho niboak’ aniany tsy nampañeveñe an-droae’ areo.
18 They forgot [the true] God, the one who protects them [MET], the one who created them and caused them to live.
Namoea’o ty Lamilamy nampiareñe azo, nandikofa’o t’i Andrianañahare niolakolak’ am-pitsongoañe azo.
19 “When Yahweh saw that [they had abandoned him], he became angry, so he rejected [the Israeli people, who are like] his sons and daughters.
Ie nivazohoe’ Iehovà, le niambohoa’e, ami’ty fanigiha’ o ana-dahi’eo naho o anak’ampela’eo.
20 He said, ‘They are very wicked/stubborn people, very unfaithful; so I will no longer help them, and then I will watch and see what happens to them.
Le hoe re: Haetako am’ iereo ty tareheko, ho treako ty fimodoa’ iareo, fa tariratse mengoke, ajaja tsy atokisañe.
21 They made me very angry because of their worshiping idols, which are not really gods; they have caused me to be [jealous [MET] because I want them to worship only me]. So now, in order to cause them to become jealous, I will send [to attack them an army of] a nation of worthless and foolish people.
Nampamarahy ahiko iereo, amo ‘ndrahare tsie’eo; sigi’ iareo amo samposampon-drahao ty habosehako aa le hampamarahieko ondati-tsie iereo; hampisigiheko foko mengoke.
22 I will be very angry, and I will destroy them like a fire that will burn on the earth and all the way down to the place where dead people are [MET]; that fire will destroy the earth and everything that grows on it, and it will even burn what is down under the mountains. (Sheol h7585)
Afo misolebotse ty an-doakoroko ao, mamorototo pak’ an-tsikeokeom-paha-sive ao, ampangotomomohe’e ty tane toy naho o vorohota’eo, ampirehete’e o faham-bohitseo. (Sheol h7585)
23 I will cause them to experience many disasters; [they will feel as though] [MET] I am shooting all my arrows at them.
Hañoboñako hekoheko, Ho kapaiheko am’ iereo o ana-palekoo.
24 They will die because of being hungry and because of having hot fevers and because of terrible diseases; I will send wild animals to attack [MTY] them, and poisonous snakes to bite [MTY] them.
Ho sihe’ ty halimpoañe iereo, habotse’ ty lel-afo; naho ty harotsahañe mafaitse. Hiraheko ama’e ty famotsim-biby, ty vorehe’ o milaly an-debokeo.
25 Outside [their houses, their enemies] will kill them [MTY] with swords, and in their homes, [their enemies will cause] them to be terrified. Their enemies will kill young men and young women, and they will kill infants and old people with gray hair.
Hampandala ty fibara o alafe’eo, firevendreveñañe ty añate ao songa zamane’e ty ajalahy naho ty tomoenono, ty anak’ajaja, vaho ty androanavy ama-maroi-foty.
26 I wanted to scatter the Israeli people to distant countries in order that no one would ever remember them.
Nataoko ho nampimodoeko, vaho ho najiheko am’ondatio ty faniahiañe iareo.
27 But [if I did that], their enemies would wrongly boast that they were the ones who had [gotten rid of my people]; they would say, “We [SYN] are the ones who defeated them; it was not Yahweh who has done all these things.”’
Fe nimahimahiñeko ty fiforoforon-drafelahi’e, hera ho hafa hente o malaiñe iareoo, kera hanao ty hoe: Ty fità’ay ro abo, fa tsy: Iehovà ty nanao ie iaby zao.
28 You Israelis are a nation of people who do not have any sense. None of you is wise.
Fifeheañe po-anatse iereo, toe ondaty po-faharendrehañe.
29 If you were wise, you would understand [why you would be punished]; you would have realized what was going to happen to you.
Ee t’ie ho nahihitse, soa te ho naharendreke, le ho nitsikarahe’iareo ty figadoña’e.
30 [You would have realized] why 1,000 [of your soldiers] would be defeated by only one [of the enemy soldiers], and why two of your enemies would chase away 10,000 [Israeli soldiers]. [You would realize that this would happen] only if God, the one who always defended you [MET], had allowed your enemies to defeat you, because he had abandoned you.
Akore ty hañinjafa’ ty raike ty arivo, ty hampivoratsahe’ ty roe ty aman’ale’e, naho tsy naleta’ i Lamilami’ iareoy, naho tsy Iehovà ty nanese iereo?
31 Your enemies know that their gods are not powerful like Yahweh, our God, [so their gods could not have defeated us Israelis].
Toe tsy i Lamilami’aiy ty vato’ iareo, ndra o rafelahi’aio ro mahatsikarake izay.
32 Your enemies are like [MET] grapevines planted near [the ruins of] Sodom and Gomorrah [cities]; the grapes from those vines are bitter and poisonous;
Boak’ am-bahe’ i Sedome ty vahe’ iareo, boak’an-tete’ i Amorà ao; valòbok’ afero ty valòbo’ iareo, mafaitse ty angaroza’ iareo;
33 the wine [from those grapes] is like the poison of snakes [DOU].
vorem-pañaneñe ty divai’ iareo ty voren-kankàm-pandrefeala.
34 [“Yahweh says], ‘I know [RHQ] [what I have planned to do to the Israeli people and to their enemies], and those plans are so secure [that it as though he locked them up] [MET].
Tsy mihaja amako ao hao zao? he mihily an-korojiko ao?
35 I am the one who will get revenge and pay those enemies back for what they have done [to my people], at the right time for them to be punished [IDM]; they will soon experience disasters, and I will punish/destroy them quickly.’
Ahiko o vale-fateo naho ty avake; mbe hibolatitse o fandia’ iareoo, fa antitotse ty andron-kankà’ iareo, vaho malisa ty fihelaña’ o hifetsak’ am’iereoo.
36 “But Yahweh will see that you who are truly his people, who (are innocent/have not done things that are wrong), and he will be merciful to you. And he will see that you are helpless, and that there are very few of you, slaves or free people, who are still alive.
Iehovà ty hizaka ondati’eo le hiferenaiña’e o mpitoro’eo ie vazoho’e te ritse ty haozara’e naho tsy aman-tsehanga’e, ke ty mirohy he ty midada;
37 Then Yahweh will ask his people, ‘Where are the gods that you thought would protect you [MET]?
Le hanao ty hoe re: Aia o ndrahare’ iareoo, i vato niatoa’ iareoy?
38 You gave to those gods the best parts of the animals that you sacrificed, and you poured out wine for them to drink. So, they should begin to help you; they should be the ones who will protect you!
Ia ty nilintseñe ty safom-pisoroña’ iareo, naho nigenoke ty divain-enga rano’e? angao hitroatse iereo hañolora’e anahareo. Apoho re ho fitsoloha’ iareo.
39 “But now you will realize that I, only I, am God; there is no other god who is [a real] god. I am the one who can kill people and who can cause people to live; I can wound people, and I can heal people, and there is no one who can prevent me from doing those things.
Inao te izaho, izaho avao ro ie, tsy ama’ ndrahare hatovoñ’ahy: izaho ty mamono, izaho ty mameloñe; mandratse iraho le mañamelañe; tsy eo ty mahasintoñe ty an-tañako.
40 I raise my hand toward heaven and solemnly declare that just as sure as I live forever,
Aonjoko mb’andikerañe ey ty tañako manao ty hoe, veloñe nainai’e iraho.
41 that when I sharpen my sword, as I [SYN] prepare to punish people, I will get revenge on my enemies; I will pay back those who hate me.
Ie sioñeko i fibarako mipelatsey, naho mandrambe zaka ty tañako; le ho valeako o rafelahikoo, vaho hondroheko o malaiñ’ Ahikoo.
42 I will kill all [of my enemies] with a sword; it will be as though I had arrows that will be covered with their blood. I will kill [MTY] all those whom I capture and cut off their leaders’ heads.’
Ho mamoeko an-dio o ana-palekoo, le hamotseke nofotse ty fibarako; ty lio’ o zinamañeo naho o an-drohio; boak’ an-doha miogogo’ o mpiaolo’ i rafelahiio.
43 “You people of all nations, you as well as his people should praise Yahweh, because Yahweh gets revenge on those who kill the people who serve him; and he cleanses his people’s land which has become defiled because of their sins.”
Ipoñafo sabo ondati’eo, ry kilakila ondaty, fa ho valea’e fate ty lio’ o mpitoro’eo, le havaha’e an-keloke o rafelahi’eo, vaho ho jebañe’e ty tane ondati’eo.
44 Joshua and Moses/I recited the words of that song while the Israeli people were listening.
Nimb’eo amy zao t’i Mosè vaho hene nisaontsie’e an-tsabo an-dravembia’ ondatio i tsara zay, ie naho Iehosoa ana’ i None.
45 When they/we finished reciting to the Israeli people the words of this song,
Aa ie nagado’ i Mosè i hene fitaroña’e am’ Israele rezay,
46 Moses/I said, “Never forget all these commands that I have been giving you today. Teach these laws to your children, in order that they will faithfully obey all of them.
le hoe re am’ iereo: Fonga faharo añ’ arofo’ areo ao ze tsara taroñeko androany, le ampañambeno o amori’ areoo o hene enta’ ty Hake toio, hañorike ze hene tsara amy Hake ao.
47 These instructions are very important [LIT]. If [you obey] them, you will live a long time in the land that you are about to cross the Jordan [River] to occupy.”
Ko atao’ areo ho tsara kafoake ama’ areo, amy t’ie o havelo’ areoo, le ama’e ty hahalava andro anahareo amy tane añaveloa’ areo ampitsahañe Iardeney hitavana’ areoy.
48 On that same day, Yahweh said to Moses/me,
Le hoe ty nitsara’ Iehovà amy Mosè amy andro zay.
49 “Go to the Abarim Mountain range [here] in the Moab region, across from Jericho. Climb Nebo Mountain, and look [toward the west] to see Canaan land, the land that I am about to give to the Israeli people.
Mañambonea mb’am-bohitse Avarime mb’eo pak’ am-bohi-Nebo an-tane’ i Moabe tandrife Ieriko añe; le isaho ty tane’ Kanàne atoloko amo ana’ Israeleo ho fanañañe;
50 You will die on that mountain [EUP, DOU], like your [older] brother Aaron died on Hor Mountain.
le mihomaha amy vohitse itroara’oy, hitontona’o am’ondati’oo, hambañe ami’ty nivetraha’ i Aharone, rahalahi’o e Hore añe vaho nifanontoñe am’ondati’eo;
51 You will die because both of you disobeyed me in the presence of the Israeli people, when you all were at Meribah Springs near Kadesh [town] in the Zin Desert. You did not honor and respect me in the presence of the Israeli people in the way that I deserve because I am God.
amy t’ie nandilatse amako añivo’ o ana’ Israeleo an-drano’ i Meribà-Kadese eo, an-dratraratra’ i Zine añe; izaho tsy navahe’o añivo’ o ana’ Israeleo.
52 [When you are on that mountain where I told you to go], you will see in the distance in front of you the land that I am about to give to the Israeli people, but you will not enter it.”
Ho talake’o eñe i taney, fe tsy homba’o o tane atoloko amo ana’ Israeleoo.
