Deuteronomio 9
1 Denggem, O Israel, bumallasiwka itan iti Jordan, serrekem ket ikkatem ti karbengan dagiti nasion a napigpigsa ken nabilbileg ngem sika nga agtawid iti daga, ken dagiti siudad a nalawa ken naaladan agingga iti langit,
“You people of Israel, listen to me! You will soon [HYP] cross the Jordan [River]. In the land that you will enter, there are large cities that have very high walls [around them] that [seem to] [HYP] extend up to the sky. There are people-groups in that land that are more numerous and more powerful than you are.
2 dadakkel ken natatayag a tattao, dagiti annak ti Anakim, nga am-ammoyo, ken nangngegyo dagiti tattao a kunada, 'Siasino ti makatakder iti sangoanan dagiti annak a lalaki ni Anak?'
Those people are very tall and strong. [Some of them] are giants who are descendants of Anak. You know about them, and you have heard people say that no one [RHQ] can defeat the descendants of Anak.
3 Ammoenyo ngarud ita, a ni Yahweh a Diosyo ket isu ti umun-una kadakayo a kasla umal-alun-on nga apuy; dadaelennanto ida, ket ipababananto ida iti sangoananyo; isu a mapapanaw ken mapukawyo ida a dagus, a kas kinuna ni Yahweh a Diosyo kadakayo.
But I want you to know that Yahweh our God will go ahead of you. He will be like a raging/roaring fire. While you advance, he will defeat and destroy them. As a result, you will quickly be able to expel some of them and kill the others, which is what Yahweh promised that you would do.
4 Saanyo a kunaen iti pusoyo, kalpasan a pagtalawen ida ni Yahweh a Diosyo iti sangoananyo, 'Gapu iti kinalintegko nga impannak ni Yahweh a mangtagikua iti daytoy a daga,' ta gapu iti kinadangkes dagitoy a nasion a pappapanawen ni Yahweh ida manipud iti sangoananyo.
“After Yahweh our God has expelled them for you, do not say to yourselves, ‘It is because we are righteous that Yahweh has enabled us to capture this land.’ The truth is that it is because the people in that land are wicked that Yahweh will expel them as you advance.
5 Saan a gapu iti kinalintegyo wenno kinapudno ti pusoyo a sumsumrekkayo a mangtagikua iti dagada; ngem gapu iti kinadangkes dagitoy a nasion a pappapanawen ida ti Diosmo iti sangoananyo, ken tapno maaramidna a pumudno ti sao nga insapatana kadagiti kapuonanyo a ni Abraham, ni Isaac, ken ni Jacob.
[I say again that] it is not because you are righteous or because you do things that are righteous that you will enter and capture that land. It is because those people-groups are very wicked that Yahweh our God will expel them as you advance, and because he intends to do what he vowed to your ancestors Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob that he would do.
6 Ammoenyo ngarud, a saan nga it-ited ni Yahweh a Diosyo daytoy nasayaat a daga kadakayo a tagikua-enyo gapu iti kinalintegyo, ta natangken ti uloyo a tattao.
I want you to know that it is not because you are righteous that Yahweh our God is giving you this good/fertile land. I say that because [you are not righteous]; you are a very stubborn [IDM] people.”
7 Lagipenyo ken saanyo a lipaten no kasano a pinaungetyo ni Yahweh a Diosyo idiay let-ang; manipud iti aldaw a pimmanawkayoiti daga ti Egipto agingga a nakadanonkayo iti daytoy a lugar, managrebeldakayo idi kenni Yahweh.
“Never forget what your ancestors did in the desert that caused Yahweh our God to become angry. From the day that we left Egypt until the day that we arrived here, you and your ancestors have continually rebelled against him.
8 Kasta met idiay Horeb pinaungetyo ni Yahweh, ket umanayen ti unget ni Yahweh a panangdadaelna kadakayo.
Even at Sinai [Mountain] your ancestors caused Yahweh to become angry. Because he was very angry, he was ready to get rid of [all of] them.
9 Idi simmang-atak idiay bantay a mangawat kadagiti tapi ti bato, dagiti tapi iti tulag nga inaramid ni Yahweh kadakayo, nagtalinaedak idiay bantay iti uppat a pulo nga aldaw ken uppat a pulo a rabii; saanak a nangan iti tinapay wenno imminom iti danum.
When I climbed the mountain to receive from him the stone tablets on which he had written the Ten Commandments that he was giving to them, I stayed there 40 days and nights, and [during that time] I did not eat or drink anything.
10 Inted ni Yahweh kaniak dagiti dua a tapi ti bato a nasuratan babaen kadagiti ramayna; naisurat kadagitoy dagiti amin a banbanag a kasla met laeng kadagiti amin a sasao nga inwaragawag ni Yahweh kadakayo idiay bantay manipud iti tengnga ti apuy iti aldaw ti panagtataripnong.
Yahweh gave me the two stone tablets on which he had written [the commandments] with his own fingers. They were the words/commandments that he had spoken to your ancestors from the fire on that mountain, when they were gathered together [at the bottom of the mountain].
11 Napasamak daytoy iti pagleppasan ti uppat a pulo nga aldaw ken uppat a pulo a rabii nga inted ni Yahweh kaniak dagiti dua a tapi ti bato, dagiti tapi ti tulag.
“At the end of those 40 days and nights, Yahweh gave me those two stone tablets on which he had written those commandments.
12 Kinuna ni Yahweh kaniak, “Tumakderka, bumabaka a dagus manipud ditoy, ta dinadael dagiti tattao nga inruarmo manipud Egipto ti bagbagida. Timmalikodda a dagus iti dalan nga imbilinko kadakuada. Nagaramidda iti nasukog a ladawan para kadagiti bagbagida.'
But then he said to me, ‘Go down the mountain immediately, because [the people whom you are leading], the people whom you led out of Egypt, have committed a terrible sin! They have very quickly done what I commanded them not to do. They have made for themselves a metal statue [of a calf to worship].’
13 Maysa pay, nagsao ni Yahweh kaniak ket kinunana, 'Nakitak dagitoy a tattao; natangken ti uloda a tattao.
Then Yahweh said to me, ‘I have been watching these people, and I see that they are very stubborn.
14 Bay-annak koma, tapno madadaelko ida ken pukawek ti naganda iti babaen ti langit, ket mangaramidak kenka iti maysa a nasion a nabilbileg ken dakdakkel ngem isuda.'
So do not try to stop me. I am going to destroy all of them, with the result that no one anywhere will remember (their names [MTY]/that they ever existed). Then I will enable you to become [the ancestor of] a nation that will be more numerous and more powerful than they are.’
15 Isu a nagsubliak ket simmalogak manipud iti bantay, ket umap-apuy ti bantay. Adda kadagiti imak dagiti dua a tapi ti tulag.
So I turned and went down the mountain, carrying in my hands the two stone tablets on which the Ten Commandments were [written]. Fire was burning all over the mountain.
16 Kimmitaak, ket, adtoy, nagbasolkayo kenni Yahweh a Diosyo. Nangsukogkayo iti baka para kadagiti bagbagiyo. Timmallikodkayo iti dalan nga imbilin ni Yahweh kadakayo.
I looked, and I was shocked to see that your ancestors had committed a [great] sin against Yahweh. They very quickly had begun to do what Yahweh our God had commanded them not to do. They had [requested Aaron to] make for them [a metal image of] a calf [to worship].
17 Innalak dagiti dua a tapi ket impuruakko manipud kadagiti imak. Binurakko dagitoy iti sangoanan dagiti matayo.
So while they were watching, I lifted up those two stone tablets and threw them [on the ground], and they broke into pieces.
18 Nagpaklebak manen iti sangoanan ni Yahweh iti uppat a pulo nga aldaw ken uppat a pulo a rabii; saanak a nangan iti tinapay wenno imminom iti danum, gapu kadagiti amin a basbasol a naaramidyo, iti panangaramid iti dayta a dakes iti imatang ni Yahweh, isu a makaunget isuna.
Then I (prostrated myself/lay) on the ground in Yahweh’s presence as I had done before, and I did not eat or drink anything for 40 days and nights. I did that because your ancestors had sinned against Yahweh and caused him to become very angry.
19 Ta mabutengak iti pungtot ken ti nakaro a saan a pannakaay-ayo ni Yahweh kadakayo a makaanay a panangdadaelna kadakayo. Ngem dimngeg met ni Yahweh kaniak kadagita a tiempo.
I was afraid/worried that because Yahweh was very angry with them, he would get rid of all of them. [But again I prayed that he would not do that], and again he listened to me [and answered my prayer].
20 Nakaunget unay ni Yahweh kenni Aaron isu a kayatna a dadaelen isuna; inkararagak met ni Aaron iti dayta met laeng a tiempo.
Yahweh was also very angry with Aaron [for making that golden calf] and was ready to kill Aaron. But at the same time I prayed for Aaron also, [and Yahweh answered my prayer].
21 Innalak dagiti basolyo, ti baka nga inaramidyo, ket pinuorak, pinang-or ken binurborko iti napino daytoy, agingga a kas kapino ti tapuk. Imbellengko ti tapukna iti waig nga agay-ayus manipud iti bantay.
Your ancestors had sinned by [requesting Aaron to] make [a metal statue of] a calf. So I took that statue and [I melted it] in a fire and crushed it and ground it into very tiny pieces [HYP]. Then I threw those tiny pieces into the stream that flowed down the mountain.
22 Idiay Tabera, idiay Massa, ken idiay Kibroth Hattaavah, pinagpungtotyo ni Yahweh.
Your ancestors also caused Yahweh to become very angry [by what they did] at [places which they named] Taberah, Massah, and Kibroth-Hattaavah.
23 Idi imbaonnakayo ni Yahweh idiay Kades Barnea ket kinunana, 'Sumang-atkayo ket tagikuaenyo ti daga nga intedko kadakayo,' ket sinukiryo dagiti bilbilin ni Yahweh a Diosyo ket saankayo a namati ken dimngeg iti timekna.
And when we were at Kadesh-Barnea, Yahweh said to your ancestors, ‘Go up and capture the land that I am about to give to you!’ But they rebelled against him. They did not trust him, and they did not obey what he told [MTY] them to do.
24 Sinukiryo ni Yahweh manipud pay iti aldaw a naam-ammokayo.
Your ancestors rebelled against Yahweh from the first day that I knew them, [in Egypt].
25 Isu a nagpaklebak iti sangoanan ni Yahweh iti uppat a pulo nga aldaw ken uppat a pulo a rabii, gapu ta kinunana a dadaelennakayo.
So, [as I said], I lay on the ground in Yahweh’s presence for 40 days and nights, because Yahweh had said that he would get rid of your ancestors.
26 Nagkararagak kenni Yahweh ket kinunak, 'O Yahweh nga Apo, saanmo a dadaelen dagiti tattaom wenno ti tawidmo nga inispalmo babaen iti kinadakkelmo, nga inruarmo manipud Egipto babaen iti nabileg nga imam.
And I prayed to Yahweh, saying, ‘Lord God, these people belong to you; do not destroy them. They are people whom you rescued and brought out of Egypt by your very great power. [DOU, MTY]
27 Lagipem dagiti adipenmo a ni Abraham, ni Isaac ken ni Jacob; saanmo a kitaen ti kinatangken ti ulo dagitoy a tattao, wenno ti kinadangkesda, wenno dagiti basolda,
Do not forget [what you promised to] Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Please ignore these stubborn and wicked people and the sin that they have committed.
28 tapno ti daga a nangiruaram kadakami rumbeng nga ibagada, “Gapu ta saan a naipan ida ni Yahweh iti daga nga inkarina kadakuada, ken gapu ta kagurana ida, inruarna ida tapno papatayenna ida idiay let-ang.”
If you do not do that, [and if you get rid of them], the people of Egypt will [hear about it and] say that you were not able to bring them into the land that you promised to give to them. They will say that you took them into the desert only to kill them there because you hated them.
29 Nupay kasta, isuda dagiti tattaom ken tawidmo, nga inruarmo babaen iti naindaklan a pigsam ken babaen iti panangipakitam iti pannakabalinmo.'
[Do not forget that] they are your people. [You chose them to] belong to you. You brought them out [from Egypt] by your very great power [DOU, MTY].’”
