Deotoronomia 26
1 Ary rehefa tonga ao amin’ ny tany izay omen’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrao ho lovanao ianao ka mandova azy ary monina ao,
It shall be, when you have come in to the land which the LORD your God gives you for an inheritance, possess it, and dwell in it,
2 dia analao ny voaloham-bokatra rehetra amin’ ny tany, izay alainao avy amin’ ny taninao, izay omen’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrao anao, ka ataovy an-karona; ary mankanesa ho any amin’ ny tany izay hofidin’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrao hampitoerany ny anarany;
that you shall take some of the first of all the fruit of the ground, which you shall bring in from your land that the LORD your God gives you. You shall put it in a basket, and shall go to the place which the LORD your God shall choose to cause his name to dwell there.
3 dia mankanesa amin’ ny mpisorona amin izany andro izany, ka lazao aminy hoe: Manambara amin’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrao aho anio fa tonga eto amin’ ny tany izay nianianan’ i Jehovah tamin’ ny razantsika homeny antsika.
You shall come to the priest who shall be in those days, and tell him, “I profess today to the LORD your God, that I have come to the land which the LORD swore to our fathers to give us.”
4 Dia horaisin’ ny mpisorona eny an-tananao ny harona ka hapetrany eo anoloan’ ny alitaran’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrao.
The priest shall take the basket out of your hand, and set it down before the LORD your God’s altar.
5 Dia hiteny eo anatrehan’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrao ianao ka hanao hoe: Syriana mpanjenjena no raiko, ka nidina tany Egypta izy, dia nivahiny tany mbamin’ ny olom-bitsy; ary tany izy no tonga firenena lehibe sy mahery sady maro isa.
You shall answer and say before the LORD your God, “My father was a Syrian ready to perish. He went down into Egypt, and lived there, few in number. There he became a great, mighty, and populous nation.
6 Ary nanao ratsy tamintsika ny Egyptiana ka nampahory antsika sy nampanao antsika fanompoana mafy.
The Egyptians mistreated us, afflicted us, and imposed hard labour on us.
7 Dia nitaraina tamin’ i Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny razantsika, isika, ka nihaino ny feontsika Izy ary nijery ny alahelontsika sy ny asantsika ary ny fahoriantsika;
Then we cried to the LORD, the God of our fathers. The LORD heard our voice, and saw our affliction, our toil, and our oppression.
8 ary tanana mahery sy sandry nahinjitra sy fampahatahorana lehibe sy famantarana ary fahagagana no nitondran’ i Jehovah antsika nivoaka avy tany Egypta,
The LORD brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand, with an outstretched arm, with great terror, with signs, and with wonders;
9 dia nitondra antsika niditra teto amin’ ity tany ity Izy ka nanome antsika ity tany ity, dia tany tondra-dronono sy tantely.
and he has brought us into this place, and has given us this land, a land flowing with milk and honey.
10 Ary ankehitriny, Jehovah ô, indro, efa nentiko ny voaloham-bokatra amin’ ny tany izay nomenao ahy. Dia avelao eo anatrehan’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrao ny zavatra, ary mivavaha eo anatrehan’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrao.
Now, behold, I have brought the first of the fruit of the ground, which you, the LORD, have given me.” You shall set it down before the LORD your God, and worship before the LORD your God.
11 Ary mifalia amin’ ny soa rehetra izay nomen’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrao anao sy ny ankohonanao ianao sy ny Levita mbamin’ ny vahiny eo aminao.
You shall rejoice in all the good which the LORD your God has given to you, and to your house, you, and the Levite, and the foreigner who is amongst you.
12 Rehefa voangonao ny fahafolon-karena rehetra avy amin’ ny vokatrao amin’ ny taona fahatelo, izay taona fanangonana ny fahafolon-karena, dia omeo ny Levita sy ny vahiny sy ny kamboty ary ny mpitondratena izany, mba hohaniny ao an-tanànanao, ka ho voky izy,
When you have finished tithing all the tithe of your increase in the third year, which is the year of tithing, then you shall give it to the Levite, to the foreigner, to the fatherless, and to the widow, that they may eat within your gates and be filled.
13 ary dia lazao eo anatrehan’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrao hoe: Efa navoakako avokoa ny zava-masìna tao an-tranoko ka nomeko ny Levita sy ny vahiny sy ny kamboty ary ny mpitondratena, araka ny lalànao rehetra izay nandidianao ahy; tsy nandika ny didinao aho na nanadino azy.
You shall say before the LORD your God, “I have put away the holy things out of my house, and also have given them to the Levite, to the foreigner, to the fatherless, and to the widow, according to all your commandment which you have commanded me. I have not transgressed any of your commandments, neither have I forgotten them.
14 Tsy nisy nohaniko teo amin’ ny fisaonako, na nentiko nivoaka teo amin’ ny fahalotoako, na nataoko fahan-kanina noho ny maty; fa efa nihaino ny feon’ i Jehovah Andriamanitro aho ka nanao araka izay rehetra nandidianao ahy.
I have not eaten of it in my mourning, neither have I removed any of it while I was unclean, nor given of it for the dead. I have listened to the LORD my God’s voice. I have done according to all that you have commanded me.
15 Tsinjovy ao amin’ ny fonenanao masìna any an-danitra, ka tahio ny Isiraely olonao sy ny tany izay nomenao anay araka izay nianiananao tamin’ ny razanay, dia tany tondra-dronono sy tantely.
Look down from your holy habitation, from heaven, and bless your people Israel, and the ground which you have given us, as you swore to our fathers, a land flowing with milk and honey.”
16 Anio no andidian’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrao anao hanaraka ireo didy sy fitsipika ireo; koa tandremo sy araho amin’ ny fonao rehetra sy ny fanahinao rehetra ireo.
Today the LORD your God commands you to do these statutes and ordinances. You shall therefore keep and do them with all your heart and with all your soul.
17 Efa nampiteny an’ i Jehovah ianao androany fa ho Andriamanitrao Izy, ka handeha amin’ ny lalany sy hitandrina ny lalàny sy ny didiny ary ny fitsipiny ianao ary hihaino ny feony.
You have declared today that the LORD is your God, and that you would walk in his ways, keep his statutes, his commandments, and his ordinances, and listen to his voice.
18 Ary Jehovah kosa efa nampiteny anao androany fa firenena rakitra soa ho Azy ianao, araka izay nolazainy taminao, mba hitandremanao ny didiny rehetra,
The LORD has declared today that you are a people for his own possession, as he has promised you, and that you should keep all his commandments.
19 sy hanandratany anao ho ambonin’ ny firenena rehetra izay nataony, ho fiderana sy ho anarana ary ho voninahitra ary mba ho firenena masìna ho an’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrao ianao, araka izay nolazainy.
He will make you high above all nations that he has made, in praise, in name, and in honour, and that you may be a holy people to the LORD your God, as he has spoken.
