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 Abib, and prepare the passover-sacrifice unto the Lord thy God; for in the month of Abib did the Lord thy God bring thee forth 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-offering unto the Lord thy God of sheep and oxen, in the place which the Lord will choose to let his name dwell there.

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 therewith any leavened bread: seven days shalt thou eat therewith unleavened bread, the bread of affliction; for in haste didst thou go forth out of the land of Egypt; in order that thou mayest remember the day of thy going forth out of the land of Egypt all the days of thy 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.

And there shall not be seen with thee any leaven in all thy borders seven days: neither shall there any of the flesh, which thou sacrificedst in the evening, on the first day, remain all night until the morning.

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

Thou mayest not slay the passover within any of thy gates, which the Lord thy God giveth 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 at the place which the Lord thy God will choose to let his name dwell in, there shalt thou slay the passover at evening, at the going down of the sun, at the season that thou camest forth 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 roast and eat it in the place which the Lord thy God will choose; and thou shalt turn in the morning, and go unto thy tents.

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 shall be a solemn assembly to the Lord thy God: thou shalt do no work.

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

Seven weeks shalt thou number unto thyself: from the time thou beginnest to put the sickle to the corn, shalt thou 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 unto the Lord thy God with a tribute of a freewill-offering of thy hand, which thou shalt give: according as the Lord thy God shall have blessed 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, and thy man-servant, and thy maid-servant, and the Levite that is within thy gates, and the stranger, and the fatherless, and the widow, that are in the midst of thee, in the place which the Lord thy God will choose to let his name dwell there.

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

And thou shalt remember that thou hast been a bond-man in Egypt; and thou shalt observe and do these statutes.

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

The feast of tabernacles shalt thou hold for thyself seven days, when thou hast gathered in the produce of thy threshing-floor and of 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 on thy feast, thou, and thy son, and thy daughter, and thy man-servant, and thy maid-servant, and the Levite, and the stranger, and the fatherless, and the widow, that are within thy gates.

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 solemn feast unto the Lord thy God in the place which the Lord will choose; because the Lord thy God will bless thee in all thy product, and in all the work of thy hands, and thou shalt only 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 every one of thy males appear before the Lord thy God in the place which he will choose: on the feast of unleavened bread, and on the feast of weeks, and on the feast of tabernacles; and no one shall appear before the Lord empty;

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

Every man according to what his hand can give, according to the blessing of the Lord thy God which he hath 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.

Judges and officers shalt thou appoint unto thyself in all thy gates, which the Lord thy God giveth thee, throughout thy tribes: and they shall judge the people with a just 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.

Thou shalt not wrest judgment; thou shalt not respect persons, and thou shalt not take a bribe; for the bribe blindeth the eyes of the wise, and perverteth 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.

Justice, only justice shalt thou pursue; in order that thou mayest live, and retain possession of the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee.

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

Thou shalt not plant unto thyself a grove, any tree, near the altar of the Lord thy God, which thou shalt make unto thyself.

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

Neither shalt thou set thee up any statue, which the Lord thy God hateth.
