Deotoronomia 11

1 Ary tiava an’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrao, ka tandremo mandrakariva Izay asainy hotandremana, dia ny lalàny sy ny fitsipiny ary ny didiny.

“And so, love the Lord your God, and observe his precepts and ceremonies, his judgments and commandments, at all times.

2 Ary aoka ho fantatrao anio, fa izaho tsy miteny amin’ ny zanakareo izay tsy nahalala na nahita ny famaizan’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrareo sy ny fahalehibiazany sy ny tànany mahery sy ny sandriny nahinjitra

Acknowledge, on this day, the things that your sons did not know. For they did not see the chastisements of the Lord your God, his great acts, and powerful hand, and outstretched arm,

3 sy ny famantarany sy ny asany, izay nataony tany Egypta tamin’ i Farao, mpanjakan’ i Egypta, sy ny taniny rehetra,

the signs and works that he did in the midst of Egypt, to Pharaoh, the king, and to his entire land,

4 sy izay nataony tamin’ ny miaramilan’ ny Egyptiana sy ny soavaliny ary ny kalesiny, dia ny nanasaforany azy tao amin’ ny Ranomasina Mena, raha nanenjika anareo Izy, dia voaringan’ i Jehovah mandraka androany,

and to the entire army of the Egyptians, and to their horses and chariots: how the waters of the Red Sea covered them as they were pursuing you, and how the Lord wiped them away, even to the present day;

5 ary izay nataony taminareo tany an-efitra, hatramin’ ny nahatongavanareo teto amin’ ity tany ity,

and the things that he accomplished for you in the wilderness, until you arrived at this place;

6 ary izay nataony tamin’ i Datana sy Abìrama, zanak’ i Eliaba, zanak’ i Robena, teo amin’ ny Isiraely rehetra, dia izay nisokafan’ ny tany sy nitelemany azy mbamin’ ny ankohonany sy ny lainy ary ny zava-manan’ aina izay nomba azy;

and to Dathan and Abiram, sons of Eliab, who was the son of Reuben, those whom the earth, opening its mouth, engulfed with their households and tents, and with their entire substance which they had in the midst of Israel.

7 fa ny masonareo efa nahita ny asa lehibe rehetra izay nataon’ i Jehovah.

Your eyes have seen all the great works of the Lord, which he has accomplished,

8 Koa tandremo ny lalàna rehetra izay andidiako anareo anio, mba hahery ianareo, dia hiditra handova ny tany izay efa halehanareo holovana;

so that you would keep all his commandments, which I entrust to you this day, and so that you would be able to enter and possess the land, toward which you are advancing,

9 ary, mba ho maro andro ianareo amin’ ny tany izay nianianan’ i Jehovah tamin’ ny razanareo homena azy sy ny taranany, dia tany izay tondra-dronono sy tantely.

and so that you may live, for a long time, in the land which the Lord promised under oath to your fathers, and to their offspring, a land flowing with milk and honey.

10 Fa ny tany izay efa hidiranao holovana dia tsy mba tahaka ny tany Egypta, izay nivoahanareo, izay namafazanao ny voan-javatrao sy nandeman’ ny tongotrao rano azy tahaka ny fambolen’ anana.

For the land, which you shall enter and possess, is not like the land of Egypt, from which you departed, where, when seed has been sown, waters are brought in by irrigation, in the manner of gardens.

11 Fa ny tany izay efa halehanareo holovana dia tany be tendrombohitra sy lohasaha sady mifoka rano avy amin’ ny ranonoran-danitra,

Rather, it has mountainous regions and plains, which lay waiting for rain from heaven.

12 dia tany izay tandreman’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrao; ny mason’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrao mitsinjo azy mandrakariva hatramin’ ny fiandohan’ ny taona ka hatramin’ ny fiafarany.

And the Lord your God always visits it, and his eyes are upon it, from the beginning of the year, all the way to its end.

13 Ary raha hihaino tsara ny didiko izay andidiako anareo anio ianareo ka ho tia an’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrareo sy hanompo Azy amin’ ny fonareo rehetra sy ny fanahinareo rehetra,

So then, if you obey my commandments, which I am instructing to you this day, so that you love the Lord your God, and serve him with your whole heart and your whole soul,

14 dia halatsako eo amin’ ny taninareo ny ranonorana amin’ ny fotoany, dia ny loha-orana sy ny fara-orana, mba hanangonanao ny varinao sy ny ranom-boalobokao ary ny diloilonao;

he will give to your land the early rain and the late rain, so that you may gather your grain, and your wine, and your oil,

15 ary hampaniriko ahitra ny sahanao ho an’ ny biby fiompinao, ary hihinan-kanina ianao ka ho voky.

and your hay from the fields in order to feed your cattle, and so that you yourselves may eat and be satisfied.

16 Kanefa mitandrema ianareo, fandrao ho voafitaka ny fonareo, ka hivily hanompo andriamani-kafa sy hiankohoka eo anatrehany ianareo;

Be careful, lest perhaps your heart may be deceived, and you might withdraw from the Lord, and serve strange gods, and adore them.

17 ary dia hirehitra aminareo ny fahatezeran’ i Jehovah, dia hanampina ny lanitra Izy, ka tsy hisy ranonorana, ary tsy hahavokatra ny tany; dia ho lany ringana faingana ianareo tsy ho eo amin’ ny tany soa izay omen’ i Jehovah anareo.

And the Lord, becoming angry, might close up heaven, so that the rain would not descend, nor would the earth produce her seedlings, and then you would quickly perish from the excellent land, which the Lord will give to you.

18 Koa alatsaho ao amin’ ny fonareo sy ao amin’ ny fanahinareo izao teniko izao, ary fehezo ho famantarana eo amin’ ny tananareo izy, ka aoka ho fehy fampahatsiarovana eo ambonin’ ny handrinareo;

Place these words of mine in your hearts and minds, and hang them as a sign on your hands, and arrange them between your eyes.

19 ary ampianaro ny zanakareo izany, ka resaho, na mipetraka ao an-tranonao ianao, na mandeha an-dalana, na mandry, na mifoha;

Teach your sons to meditate on them, when you sit in your house, and when you walk along the way, and when you lie down or rise up.

20 ary soraty eo amin’ ny tolam-baravaran’ ny tranonao sy eo amin’ ny vavahadinao izy;

You shall write them upon the doorposts and the gates of your house,

21 mba ho maro ny andronareo sy ny andron’ ny taranakareo eo amin’ ny tany izay nianianan’ i Jehovah tamin’ ny razanareo homena azy, toy ny faharetan’ ny lanitra ambonin’ ny tany.

so that your days may be multiplied, and the days of your sons, in the land which the Lord swore to your fathers, that he would give it to them for as long as heaven is suspended above the earth.

22 Fa raha hitandrina tsara izao lalàna rehetra izao izay andidiako anareo ianareo ka manaraka azy ary ho tia an’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrareo sy handeha eo amin’ ny lalany rehetra sy hifikitra aminy,

For if you keep the commandments which I am entrusting to you, and if you do them, so that you love the Lord your God, and walk in all his ways, clinging to him,

23 dia horoahin’ i Jehovah eo anoloanareo ireo firenena rehetra ireo, ary ianareo haharesy firenena maro, izay lehibe sy mahery noho ianareo.

the Lord will scatter all these nations before your face, and you shall possess them, though they are greater and stronger than you.

24 Ny tany rehetra izay hodiavin’ ny faladian’ ny tongotrareo dia ho anareo: hatramin’ ny efitra sy Libanona ary hatramin’ ny ony Eofrata ka hatramin’ ny ranomasina andrefana no ho fari-taninareo.

Every place upon which your foot shall tread will be yours. From the desert, and from Lebanon, from the great river Euphrates, as far as the western sea, shall be your borders.

25 Tsy hisy olona hahajanona eo anoloanareo, fa hataon’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrareo ho azon’ ny tahotra sy horohoro anareo ny tany rehetra izay hodiavinareo, araka izay nolazainy taminareo.

No one will stand against you. The Lord your God will spread the terror and dread of you over all the land upon which you shall tread, just as he has spoken to you.

26 Indro, Izaho mametraka fitahiana sy ozona eo anoloanareo anio:

Behold, I am setting forth in your sight today a blessing and a curse.

27 fitahiana, raha hohenoinareo ny didin’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrareo, izay andidiako anareo anio;

It will be a blessing, if you obey the commandments of the Lord your God, which I am instructing to you this day.

28 ary ozona kosa, raha tsy hohenoinareo ny didin’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrareo, fa hivily hiala amin’ ny lalana izay andidiako anareo anio mba haleha ianareo ka hanaraka andriamani-kafa izay tsy fantatrareo.

It will be a curse, if you do not obey the commandments of the Lord your God, but instead you withdraw from the way, which I am revealing to you now, and you walk after foreign gods that you have not known.

29 Ary rehefa entin’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrao ianao ka tafiditra any amin’ ny tany izay alehanao holovana, dia ny fitahiana no hotononinao eo an-tendrombohitra Gerizinia, ary ny fanozonana kosa eo an-tendrombohitra Ebala.

Yet truly, when the Lord your God will have led you into the land, to which you are traveling for a habitation, you shall place the blessing upon Mount Gerizim, the curse upon Mount Ebal,

30 Tsy any an-dafin’ i Jordana va izy roa, any ankoatry ny lalana andrefana, amin’ ny tanin’ ny Kananita, izay monina eo amin’ ny tani-hay tandrifin’ i Gilgaly, eo anilan’ ny hazo terebintan’ i More?

which are across the Jordan, behind the way which slopes toward the setting of the sun, in the land of the Canaanite, who lives in the plains opposite Gilgal, which is near the valley extending toward and entering a distant place.

31 Fa ianareo efa handeha hita an’ i Jordana ka hiditra sy handova ny tany izay omen’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrareo anareo, ary handova azy ianareo ka honina eo;

For you shall cross over the Jordan, so that you may possess the land which the Lord your God will give you, so that you may have it and possess it.

32 koa tandremo mba harahinareo ny didy rehetra sy ny fitsipika izay ataoko eo anoloanareo anio.

Therefore, see to it that you fulfill the ceremonies and judgments, which I am placing in your sight this day.”
