Deotoronomia 16

1 Tandremo ny volana Abiba, ka ataovy ny Paskan’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrao fa tamin’ ny volana Abiba no nitondran’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrao anao nivoaka avy tany Egypta tamin’ ny alina.

Observe the month of new [corn], and thou shalt sacrifice the passover to the Lord thy God; because in the month of new corn thou camest out of Egypt by night.

2 Ary vonoy ny Paskan’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrao, dia ondry aman’ osy sy omby, eo amin’ ny tany izay hofidin’ i Jehovah hampitoerany ny anarany.

And thou shalt sacrifice the passover to the Lord thy God, sheep and oxen in the place which the Lord thy God shall choose to have his name called upon it.

3 Aza ny mofo misy masirasira no haninao aminy; hafitoana no hihinananao mofo tsy misy masirasira, dia mofom-pahoriana, fa tampoka no nivoahanao avy tany amin’ ny tany Egypta, mba hotsarovanao amin’ ny andro rehetra hiainanao ny andro izay nivoahanao avy tany amin’ ny tany Egypta.

Thou shalt not eat leaven with it; seven days shalt thou eat unleavened [bread] with it, bread of affliction, because ye came forth out of Egypt in haste; that ye may remember the day of your coming forth out of the land of Egypt all the days of your life.

4 Ary aoka tsy hisy masirasira eo aminao ao anatin’ ny fari-taninao rehetra hafitoana; ary aoka tsy hisy hitoetra miloaka alina ny henan’ ny fanatitra izay novonoinao tamin’ ny harivan’ ny andro voalohany.

Leaven shall not be seen with thee in all thy borders for seven days, and there shall not be left of the flesh which thou shalt sacrifice at even on the first day until the morning.

5 Tsy hisy azonao hamonoana ny Paska ny tanànanao rehetra izay omen’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrao anao;

thou shalt not have power to sacrifice the passover in any of the cities, which the Lord thy God gives thee.

6 fa eo amin’ ny fitoerana izay hofidin’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrao hampitoerany ny anarany no hamonoanao azy rehefa hariva tokony ho maty masoandro, dia tahaka izay nivoahanao avy tany Egypta.

But in the place which the Lord thy God shall choose, to have his name called there, thou shalt sacrifice the passover at even at the setting of the sun, at the time when thou camest out of Egypt.

7 Ary atsatsiho amin’ ny afo izy, ka hano eo amin’ ny tany izay hofidin’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrao; ary miverena nony maraina, ka modia any amin’ ny lainao.

And thou shalt boil and roast and eat it in the place, which the Lord thy God shall choose; and thou shalt return in the morning, and go to thy house.

8 Henemana no hihinananao mofo tsy misy masirasira; fa ny andro fahafito dia fara-fivoriana ho an’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrao, ka tsy hanao raharaha ianao amin’ izany.

Six days shalt thou eat unleavened bread, and on the seventh day is a holiday, a feast to the Lord thy God: thou shalt not do in it any work, save what must be done by any one.

9 Herinandro fito no hisainao ho anao: hatramin’ ny andro iandohan’ ny fijinjam-bary no hanisanao azy.

Seven weeks shalt thou number to thyself; when thou hast begun [to put] the sickle to the corn, thou shalt begin to number seven weeks.

10 Ary mitandrema andro firavoravoana manarakaraka ireo herinandro ho an’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrao, ka manatera fanati-tsitrapo, izay homenao araka izay itahian’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrao anao;

And thou shalt keep the feast of weeks to the Lord thy God, accordingly as thy hand has power in as many things as the Lord thy God shall give thee.

11 ary mifalia eo anatrehan’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrao ianao sy ny zanakao-lahy sy ny zanakao-vavy ary ny ankizilahinao sy ny ankizivavinao ary ny Levita izay ao an-tanànanao mbamin’ ny vahiny sy ny kamboty ary ny mpitondratena izay eo aminao, dia eo amin’ ny tany izay hofidin’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrao hampitoerany ny anarany.

And thou shalt rejoice before the Lord thy God, thou and thy son, and thy daughter, thy man-servant and thy maid-servant, and the Levite, and the stranger, and the orphan, and the widow which dwells among you, in whatsoever place the Lord thy God shall choose, that his name should be called there.

12 Ary tsarovy fa andevo tany Egypta ianao; koa tandremo sy araho ireo didy ireo.

And thou shalt remember that thou wast a servant in the land of Egypt, and thou shalt observe and do these commands.

13 Tandremo hafitoana ny andro firavoravoana fitoerana amin’ ny trano rantsan-kazo, rehefa nangoninao ny avy amin’ ny famoloanao sy ny famiazanao.

Thou shalt keep for thyself the feast of tabernacles seven days, when thou gatherest in [thy produce] from thy corn-floor and thy wine-press.

14 Ary mifalia amin’ ny andro firavoravoanao ianao sy ny zanakao-lahy sy ny zanakao-vavy sy ny ankizilahinao sy ny ankizivavinao ary ny Levita mbamin’ ny vahiny sy ny kamboty ary ny mpitondratena izay ao an-tanànanao.

And thou shalt rejoice in thy feast, thou, and thy son, and thy daughter, thy man-servant, and thy maid-servant, and the Levite, and the stranger, and the orphan, and the widow that is in thy cities.

15 Hafitoana no itandremanao andro firavoravoana ho an’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrao eo amin’ ny tany izay hofidin’ i Jehovah, satria hitahy anao Jehovah Andriamanitrao amin’ ny vokatrao rehetra sy ny asan-tananao rehetra, ka dia hifaly tokoa ianao.

Seven days shalt thou keep a feast to the Lord thy God in the place which the Lord thy God shall choose for himself; and if the Lord thy God shall bless thee in all thy fruits, and in every work of thy hands, then thou shalt rejoice.

16 Intelo isan-kerintaona ny lehilahy rehetra aminao no hiseho eo anatrehan’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrao, eo amin’ ny tany izay hofidiny, dia amin’ ny andro firavoravoana fihinanana mofo tsy misy masirasira sy ny andro firavoravoana manarakaraka ireo herinandro ary ny andro firavoravoana fitoerana amin’ ny trano rantsan-kazo. Ary aoka tsy hisy hiseho foana tsy mitondra fanatitra eo anatrehan’ i Jehovah;

Three times in the year shall all thy males appear before the Lord thy God in the place which the Lord shall choose in the feast of unleavened bread, and in the feast of weeks, and in the feast of tabernacles: thou shalt not appear before the Lord thy God empty.

17 fa aoka samy hanatitra izay zakany avy, araka ny fitahian’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrao, izay omeny anao.

Each one according to his ability, according to the blessing of the Lord thy God which he has given thee.

18 Mifidiana mpitsara sy mpifehy ho anao ao an-tanànanao rehetra, izay omen’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrao anao, araka ny firenenao; dia hitsara ny olona amin’ ny fitsarana marina ireo.

Thou shalt make for thyself judges and officers in thy cities, which the Lord thy God gives thee in [thy] tribes, and they shall judge the people with righteous judgment:

19 Aza manao fitsarana miangatra, aza mizaha tavan’ olona, ary aza mandray kolikoly; fa ny kolikoly mahajamba ny mason’ ny hendry ary mamadika ny tenin’ ny marina.

they shall not wrest judgment, nor favour persons, nor receive a gift; for gifts blind the eyes of the wise, and pervert the words of the righteous.

20 Ny marina dia marina no harahinao, mba ho velona ianao ka handova ny tany izay omen’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrao anao.

Thou shalt justly pursue justice, that ye may live, and go in and inherit the land which the Lord thy God gives thee.

21 Aza manangana hazo ho Aseraha ho anao eo anilan’ ny alitaran’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrao, izay ataonao ho anao.

Thou shalt not plant for thyself a grove; thou shalt not plant for thyself any tree near the altar of thy God.

22 Ary aza manao tsangam-baton-tsampy ho anao; fa halan’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrao izany.

Thou shalt not set up for thyself a pillar, which the Lord thy God hates.
