Deotoronomia 11

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

Therefore thou shalt love the LORD thy God, and keep his charge, and his statutes, and his judgments, and his commandments, alway.

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

And know ye this day: for [I speak] not with your children which have not known, and which have not seen the chastisement of the LORD your God, his greatness, his mighty hand, and his stretched out arm,

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

And his miracles, and his acts, which he did in the midst of Egypt unto Pharaoh the king of Egypt, and unto all his 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 what he did unto the army of Egypt, unto their horses, and to their chariots; how he made the water of the Red sea to overflow them as they pursued after you, and [how] the LORD hath destroyed them unto this day;

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

And what he did unto you in the wilderness, until ye came into 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 what he did unto Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, the son of Reuben: how the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed them up, and their households, and their tents, and all the substance that [was] in their possession, in the midst of all Israel:

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

But your eyes have seen all the great acts of the LORD which he did.

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

Therefore shall ye keep all the commandments which I command you this day, that ye may be strong, and go in and possess the land, whither ye go to possess it;

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 that ye may prolong [your] days in the land, which the LORD sware unto your fathers to give unto them and to their seed, a land that floweth 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, whither thou goest in to possess it, [is] not as the land of Egypt, from whence ye came out, where thou sowedst thy seed, and wateredst [it] with thy foot, as a garden of herbs:

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

But the land, whither ye go to possess it, [is] a land of hills and valleys, [and] drinketh water of the rain of 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.

A land which the LORD thy God careth for: the eyes of the LORD thy God [are] always upon it, from the beginning of the year even unto the end of the year.

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,

And it shall come to pass, if ye shall hearken diligently unto my commandments which I command you this day, to love the LORD your God, and to serve him with all your heart and with all your 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;

That I will give [you] the rain of your land in his due season, the first rain and the latter rain, that thou mayest gather in thy corn, and thy wine, and thine oil.

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

And I will send grass in thy fields for thy cattle, that thou mayest eat and be full.

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

Take heed to yourselves, that your heart be not deceived, and ye turn aside, and serve other gods, and worship 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 [then] the LORD’s wrath be kindled against you, and he shut up the heaven, that there be no rain, and that the land yield not her fruit; and [lest] ye perish quickly from off the good land which the LORD giveth 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;

Therefore shall ye lay up these my words in your heart and in your soul, and bind them for a sign upon your hand, that they may be as frontlets 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;

And ye shall teach them your children, speaking of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, when thou liest down, and when thou risest up.

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

And thou shalt write them upon the door posts of thine house, and upon thy gates:

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.

That your days may be multiplied, and the days of your children, in the land which the LORD sware unto your fathers to give them, as the days of heaven upon 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 ye shall diligently keep all these commandments which I command you, to do them, to love the LORD your God, to walk in all his ways, and to cleave unto him;

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

Then will the LORD drive out all these nations from before you, and ye shall possess greater nations and mightier than yourselves.

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 whereon the soles of your feet shall tread shall be yours: from the wilderness and Lebanon, from the river, the river Euphrates, even unto the uttermost sea shall your coast be.

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.

There shall no man be able to stand before you: [for] the LORD your God shall lay the fear of you and the dread of you upon all the land that ye shall tread upon, as he hath said unto you.

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

Behold, I set before you this day a blessing and a curse;

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

A blessing, if ye obey the commandments of the LORD your God, which I command 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.

And a curse, if ye will not obey the commandments of the LORD your God, but turn aside out of the way which I command you this day, to go after other gods, which ye 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.

And it shall come to pass, when the LORD thy God hath brought thee in unto the land whither thou goest to possess it, that thou shalt put the blessing upon mount Gerizim, and 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?

[Are] they not on the other side Jordan, by the way where the sun goeth down, in the land of the Canaanites, which dwell in the champaign over against Gilgal, beside the plains of Moreh?

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 ye shall pass over Jordan to go in to possess the land which the LORD your God giveth you, and ye shall possess it, and dwell therein.

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

And ye shall observe to do all the statutes and judgments which I set before you this day.
