Deuteronomy 8
1 “You must faithfully obey all the commandments that I am giving you today. If you do that, you will live [a long time], you will become very numerous, and you will occupy the land that Yahweh solemnly promised your ancestors that he would give [to you].
Mitomira, hambena’ areo ze hene’ lily lilieko ama’o androany, soa t’ie ho veloñe naho hibodobodo te hizilik’ ao naho handova i tane nampitama’ Iehovà aman-droae’ areo am-pantay.
2 And do not forget how Yahweh our God led us as we traveled through the desert during these past 40 years. He [caused you to have many problems/difficulties], because he wanted to cause you to realize that you needed to trust him and not yourselves. And he wanted to test you, to find out what you intended to do [IDM], whether you would obey his commandments or not.
Tiahio o làlañe iaby niaoloa’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’o azo amy taoñe efa-polo an-dratraratra añe reio, ie nampireke naho nitsok’ azo haharendreke ze añ’ arofo’o ao, he hambena’o o lili’eo ke tsie.
3 So he caused you to have/experience difficulties. He allowed you to become hungry. Then he gave you manna [food from heaven], food that you and your ancestors had never eaten before. He did that to teach you that people need food [for their bodies]; but [they also need food for their spirits, which comes from paying attention to] everything that Yahweh says [MTY].
Toe nampireha’e, le nampisalikoa’e, vaho nanjotsoa’e mane tsy nifohi’o naho tsy nifohin-droae’o, hampahafohina’e te tsy mahakama avao ty mahaveloñ’ ondaty; fa ze tsara miboak’ am-palie’ Iehovà ro mahaveloñe’ ondaty.
4 During those 40 years [of walking through the desert], our clothes did not wear out and our feet did not swell [from walking a very long way through the desert].
Tsy nikoneatse ama’o ty saro’o vaho tsy nivonto ty fandia’o i efa-polo taoñe rezay.
5 Do not forget that Yahweh our God disciplines us, like parents discipline their children.
Mahafohina añ’arofo te manahake ty fandilovan-drae ty ana’e ty andilova’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’o azo.
6 “Do obey the commandments of Yahweh our God, and conduct your lives as he wants you to do, and revere him.
Aa le ambeno o lili’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’oo am-pañaveloañe an-dala’e eo vaho am-pañeveñañe ama’e.
7 He is about to bring you into a good/fertile land, which has streams which flow down from the hills and pour/flow out of springs in the valleys.
Amy te manese azo mb’an-tane soa ao t’Iehovà Andrianañahare’o, tane ikararahan-torahañe naho rano migoangoañe le rano mionjoñe boak’ am-bavatane naho am-bohibohitse,
8 It is a land on which wheat and barley grow, a land where there are fig trees and pomegranates, and a land where there are olive trees and honey.
tanem-bare-bolè naho vare hordea, amam-bahe naho sakoañe vaho raketa, tane aman-katae olive naho tantele,
9 It is a land where there will be plenty of food for you, where you will (not lack anything/have everything that you need) [LIT], a land which has iron [ore] in its rocks and from which you can dig copper [ore] from its hills.
tane hikama’o mahakama fa tsy hiereñe, hiaiña’o añoleñañe, tane amam-bato viñe vaho am-bohi’e ao ty hihalia’o torisìke.
10 [Every day] you will eat until your stomachs are full, and you will thank Yahweh our God for the fertile/good land that he has given you.
Ie fa nikama naho ànjañe le andriaño t’Iehovà Andrianañahare’o ty amy tane fanjàka natolo’e azoy.
11 But, [when that happens], be sure not to forget Yahweh our God by disobeying his commandments and rules and regulations that I am giving to you today.
Mitomira tsy handikok’ am’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’o, tsy hañorike o lili’eo naho o fañè’eo vaho o fepè’e lilieko ama’o androanio.
12 When your stomachs are full [every day], and when you have built good houses and are living in them,
Kera, ie fa nikama vaho ànjañe, naho fa nandranjy anjomba soa, naho imoneña’o,
13 and when the number of your cattle and sheep has greatly increased, and when you have accumulated a large amount of silver and gold, and the amount of all your other possessions has greatly increased,
naho mihamaro o añombe’oo naho o lia-rai’oo, naho mitombo ty volafoty naho volamena’o, naho miraorao ze he’e ama’o,
14 be sure that you do not become proud [IDM] and forget Yahweh our God, who rescued your ancestors from being slaves in Egypt and brought them out from there.
le hirengevoke ty arofo’o vaho handikofa’o t’Iehovà Andrianañahare’o nañavotse azo an-tane Mitsraime an-trañom-pañondevozañe ao,
15 Do not forget that he led them [while they traveled] through that huge and terrible desert, where there were poisonous snakes and scorpions. And do not forget that where the ground was very dry and there was no water, he caused water to flow for them out of (solid/very hard) rock.
i niaolo azo hiranga i fatram-bey henehene naharevendreveñey; i ratraratra maike lifotse merem-boreke naho kalengo añey, le nampidoandoaña’e rano boak’ am-bato-paike ao,
16 Do not forget that in that desert he gave your ancestors manna to eat, food that they had never eaten before. He [caused them to have/experience many problems/difficulties], because he wanted them to realize that they needed to trust him and not themselves. And he wanted to test them, to find out whether they intended to obey him, in order that when [those difficulties] ended, he would do many good things for them.
naho nanjotsoa’e mane tsy nahazatse an-droae’o am-patrañe ao, hampireke vaho hamente azo, hañasoà’e am-pigadoñañe añe,
17 Be sure that you do not think to yourselves, ‘I have acquired all these things by my own power [MTY] and ability.’
ke hitsakore añ’arofo’o ao irehe ty hoe, Ty haozarako naho ty hafatraran-tañako ty nanontonako o varako zao.
18 Do not forget that it is Yahweh our God who has enabled you to become rich. He does this because he faithfully does what he solemnly promised our ancestors that he would do.
Tiahio t’Iehovà Andrianañahare’o, amy t’ie ty mampaozatse azo hahavoria’o vara, hamentea’e i fañina nifantà’e aman-droae’oy le mbe ie henanekeo.
19 “solemnly warn you that if you forget Yahweh our God and turn to other gods and start to serve them and worship them, you will certainly be destroyed.
Aa ke ho haliño’o t’Iehovà Andrianañahare’o hañoriha’o ty ndrahare ila’e hitoroña’o naho hiambanea’o, fa ataliliko anahareo androany t’ie tsy mete tsy hivetrake
20 If you do not obey Yahweh our God, he will certainly destroy you just like he will destroy the people-groups that you will fight against.”
naho hihomake manahake o rofoko rotsahe’ Iehovà aolo’ areo mb’eoo amy te tsy hinao’ areo ty fiarañanaña’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’ areo.
