Deotoronomia 28
1 Raha mihaino tsara ny feon’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrao ianao ka mitandrina hanaraka ny didiny rehetra, izay andidiako anao anio, dia hasandratr’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrao ho ambonin’ ny firenena rehetra amin’ ny tany ianao;
If you truly obey what the Lord your God tells you, and carefully follow all his commandments that I'm giving you today, then the Lord your God will place you high above all the nations of the earth.
2 ary ho tonga aminao sy ho azonao izao fitahiana rehetra izao, raha mihaino ny feon’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrao ianao
You will have all the following blessings and even more, if you do what the Lord your God says.
3 Hotahina ianao ao an-tanàna, ary hotahina ianao any an-tsaha.
You will be blessed when you're in the town; you will be blessed when you're in the countryside.
4 Hotahina ny ateraky ny kibonao sy ny vokatry ny taninao ary ny ateraky ny biby fiompinao, dia ny ateraky ny ombinao sy ny ateraky ny ondry aman’ osinao.
You will be blessed with many children. You will be blessed with good harvests. You will be blessed with livestock—your cattle will have many calves, and your sheep will have many lambs.
5 Hotahina ny haronao sy ny vilia fanaova-mofonao.
You will be blessed with plenty of bread.
6 Hotahina ianao, raha miditra; ary hotahina ianao, raha mivoaka.
You will be blessed wherever you go and in everything you do.
7 Hatolotr’ i Jehovah ho resy eo anoloanao ny fahavalonao, izay mitsangana hiady aminao, ka lalana iray no hivoahany hanatona anao, fa lalana fito kosa no handosirany hiala eo anoloanao.
The Lord will defeat the enemies who come to attack you. They will come at you from one direction, but they will scatter seven different ways.
8 Handidy ny fitahiany ho aminao Jehovah amin’ ny fitoeram-barinao sy izay rehetra ataon’ ny tananao, ka hitahy anao Izy any amin’ ny tany izay omen’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrao anao.
The Lord will bless your income and everything you do. The Lord your God will bless you in the country he is giving you.
9 Hanandratra anao ho firenena masìna ho Azy Jehovah, araka izay nianianany taminao, raha mitandrina ny didin’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrao ianao ka mandeha amin’ ny lalany.
The Lord will make you his holy people, just as he promised you, if you obey the Lord your God's commandments and follow his ways.
10 Dia ho hitan’ ny firenena rehetra ambonin’ ny tany fa ny anaran’ i Jehovah no antsoina aminao, dia hatahotra anao izy.
Then everyone on earth will see that the Lord has chosen you to be his, and they will be afraid of you.
11 Ary hataon’ i Jehovah manana amby ampy izay hahasoa anao, dia ny ateraky ny kibonao sy ny ateraky ny biby fiompinao ary ny vokatry ny taninao, any amin’ ny tany izay nianianan’ i Jehovah tamin’ ny razanao homena anao.
The Lord will make you very prosperous. You will have many children, your livestock will produce plenty of young, and your land will grow good harvests—all this in the country the Lord promised your forefathers he would give you.
12 Hovohan’ i Jehovah ho anao ny lanitra, tranony fitehirizan-tsoa, handatsahany ranonorana amin’ ny taninao amin’ ny fotoany sy hitahiany ny asan’ ny tananao rehetra. Ary hampisambotra ny firenena maro ianao, fa ianao kosa tsy hisambotra.
The Lord will provide rain for your land at the right time from his heavenly storehouse to bless all your work growing crops. You will lend money to many nations but you won't need to borrow from any of them.
13 Dia hataon’ i Jehovah ho lohany ianao, fa tsy ho rambony; ary ho ambony tokoa ianao, fa tsy ho ambany, raha mihaino ny didin’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrao, izay andidiako anao anio, ka mitandrina sy manaraka azy.
The Lord will put you in first place, not the last. You will only go up, never down, as long as you listen to and follow carefully the commandments of the Lord your God that I'm giving you today.
14 Ary aza miala amin’ ny teny rehetra izay andidiako anao anio, na ho amin’ ny ankavanana, na ho amin’ ny ankavia, hanaraka andriamani-kafa ka hanompo azy.
Don't deviate from any of my instructions today. Don't go and worship other gods.
15 Fa raha tsy mihaino ny feon’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrao kosa ianao ka tsy mitandrina hanaraka ny didiny rehetra sy ny lalàny, izay andidiako anao anio, dia ho tonga aminao sy hahatratra anao izao fanozonana rehetra izao:
But if you don't obey the Lord your God by following carefully all his commandments and regulations I'm giving you today, then you will experience all the following curses and more:
16 Hozonina ianao ao an-tanàna, ary hozonina ianao any an-tsaha.
You will be cursed when you're in the town; you will be cursed when you're in the countryside.
17 Hozonina ny haronao sy ny vilia fanaova-mofonao.
You will be cursed by not having bread.
18 Hozonina ny ateraky ny kibonao sy ny vokatry ny taninao ary ny ateraky ny ombinao sy ny ateraky ny ondry aman’ osinao.
You will be cursed by not having children, and by not having good harvests, and by your cattle not having calves, and your sheep not having lambs.
19 Hozonina ianao, raha miditra; ary hozonina ianao, raha mivoaka.
You will be cursed wherever you go and in everything you do.
20 Hampandehanin’ i Jehovah aminao ny ozona, dia horohoro sy fampitahorana amin’ izay rehetra ataon’ ny tananao, mandra-paharinganao sy mandra-pahalaninao faingana noho ny faharatsian’ ny nataonao tamin’ ny nahafoizanao Ahy.
The Lord will send you curses, making you confused and frustrated in everything you do, until you are brought down and die quickly because of the evil that you've done by abandoning him.
21 Hampiraiketin’ i Jehovah aminao ny areti-mandringana, mandra-pandaniny anao tsy ho eo amin’ ny tany izay efa hidiranao holovana.
The Lord will give you infectious diseases until he has wiped you out from the country you are entering town.
22 Ary areti-mahasahozanina sy tazo mahamay sy fahamaizana sy hafanana mangotraka sy andro mihantona sy vary main’ ny rivotra na maty fotsy no hamelezan’ i Jehovah anao; dia hanenjika anao ireny mandra-pahalany ritranao.
Then Lord will hit you with sickness that makes you waste away, with a severe fever and swelling like you're burning up, while your crops are damaged by drought and blight and mildew. These will attack you until you die.
23 Ary ho varahina ny lanitra eo ambonin’ ny lohanao, ary ho vy ny tany eo ambaninao.
The sky above you will be like bronze, and the earth beneath you will be like iron.
24 Hataon’ i Jehovah vovoka sy jofo ny ranonorana amin’ ny taninao; avy any an-danitra no hidinan’ izany aminao mandra-paharinganao.
The Lord will change the rain of your land into dust and sand; it will fall from the sky on you until you're destroyed.
25 Hatolotr’ i Jehovah ho resy eo anoloan’ ny fahavalonao ianao, ka lalana iray no hivoahanao hiady aminy, fa lalana fito kosa no handosiranao hiala eo anoloany; dia ho mpanjenjena any amin’ ny fanjakana rehetra ambonin’ ny tany ianao.
The Lord will have your enemies defeat you. You will attack them from one direction, but you will scatter seven different ways. Everyone on earth will be horrified at what happens to you.
26 Ary ny fatinao hohanin’ ny voro-manidina rehetra sy ny bibi-dia, ka tsy hisy hanaitaitra azy.
Your dead bodies will be food for birds of prey and wild animals, and there won't be anyone to scare them away.
27 Hamelin’ i Jehovah anao ny vain’ i Egypta sy ny tomboka sy ny hatina ary ny hazaka (izay tsy azom-panafody);
The Lord will give you boils like he did to the Egyptians, with swellings and scabs and skin rashes that can't be cured.
28 ary hamelin’ i Jehovah anao koa ny fahadalana sy ny fahajambana ary ny fahaverezan-kevitra.
The Lord will send you mad and make you blind and confused,
29 Dia hitsapatsapa ianao na dia amin’ ny mitatao-vovonana aza tahaka ny fitsapatsapan’ ny jamba ao amin’ ny aizim-pito ka tsy ho tonga amin’ izay halehanao; dia hampahorin’ ny sasany sy hobaboiny mandrakariva ianao, fa tsy hisy hamonjy.
so that even at noon you will be groping around like a blind man in the dark. You won't be successful in what you do. You'll be persecuted and robbed the whole time, and no one will come and save you.
30 Hifofo vady ianao, fa olon-kafa no handry aminy; hanao trano ianao, fa tsy hitoetra ao; hanao tanim-boaloboka ianao, fa tsy hihinana ny vokatra.
You will be engaged to marry a woman, but another man will sleep with her. You will build a house but you won't live in it. You will plant a vineyard but won't benefit from any harvest.
31 Ny ombinao hovonoina eo imasonao, fa tsy hihinana ny henany ianao. Ny borikinao halaina an-keriny eo anatrehanao ka tsy haverina aminao. Ny ondry aman’ osinao homena ho an’ ny fahavalonao, nefa tsy hanan-kamonjy ianao.
Your ox will be slaughtered right in front of you, but you won't eat any of it. Your donkey will be taken away and won't be returned to you. Your sheep will be taken by your enemies, and no one will come and save you.
32 Ny zanakao-lahy sy ny zanakao-vavy homena ho an’ ny firenena hafa, ary hijery ny masonao ka ho pahina manontolo andro noho ny alahelonao azy, nefa tsy hahefa na inona na inona ny tananao.
Your sons and daughters will be taken away as slaves to other nations while you watch, and you'll wear your eyes out crying over them, but there won't be anything you can do about it.
33 Ny vokatry ny taninao sy izay rehetra efa nisasaranao dia hohanin’ ny firenena izay tsy fantatrao; any hanaovan’ ny sasany an-keriny sy hotorotoroiny mandrakariva ianao.
A foreign nation you've never heard of will eat all the crops you worked so hard to grow. You will be continually persecuted and downtrodden.
34 Dia ho very saina ianao noho ny zavatra izay ho hitan’ ny masonao.
What you see will drive you mad.
35 Hamelin’ i Jehovah anao ny vay ratsy, izay tsy azom-panafody, dia amin’ ny lohalikao sy ny tongotrao, hatramin’ ny faladianao ka hatramin’ ny tampon-dohanao.
The Lord will give you painful boils that can't be cured on your knees and thighs, in fact from head to toe.
36 Ho entin’ i Jehovah ho any amin’ ny firenena izay tsy fantatrao na ny razanao ianao sy ny mpanjakanao, izay hatsanganao hanjaka aminao; any any no hanompoanao andriamani-kafa, dia vato aman-kazo.
The Lord will exile you and your chosen king you to a foreign nation that neither you nor your forefathers had ever heard of. There you will worship other gods, idols made of wood and stone.
37 Dia ho figagana sy ohabolana ary ho ambentinteny ianao any amin’ ny firenena rehetra izay hitondran’ i Jehovah anao.
You will be something that horrifies all the nations where you've been exiled by the Lord. They will laugh at you and ridicule you.
38 Voan-javatra betsaka no ho entinao hambolena any an-tsaha, fa kely kosa no hangoninao, satria ho lanin’ ny valala ireny.
You will sow a lot of seed in the field, but harvest very little because the locusts will destroy it.
39 Hanao tanim-boaloboka ianao ka hiasa azy, nefa tsy hisotro divay na hioty voaloboka ianao, satria ho lanin’ ny fositra ireny.
You will plant and vineyards and care for them, but you won't harvest the grapes or drink the wine, because they'll be eaten by maggots.
40 Hanana hazo oliva amin’ ny taninao rehetra ianao, nefa tsy hihosotra diloilo; fa hihintsana ny olivanao.
You will have olive trees all over the country but you won't have any olive oil to use, because the olives will drop early from the trees.
41 Hiteraka zazalahy sy zazavavy ianao, nefa tsy ho anao ireny, fa ho lasan-ko babo.
You will have sons and daughters, but you won't have them for long, because they will be taken off into captivity as slaves.
42 Ny hazonao sy ny vokatry ny taninao rehetra dia ho lanin’ ny valala.
Locust swarms will destroy all your trees and crops.
43 Ny vahiny eo aminao hisandratra ho ambony dia ambony noho ianao, fa ianao kosa hietry ho ambany dia ambany.
Foreigners who live with you will rise higher and higher in status above you, while you sink lower and lower.
44 Izy hampisambotra anao, fa ianao kosa tsy hampisambotra azy; izy ho lohany, fa ianao ho rambony.
They will lend to you, but you will not lend to them. They will be the first, and you will be the last.
45 Dia ho tonga aminao ireo ozona rehetra ireo ka hanenjika anao sy hahatratra anao mandra-paharinganao, satria tsy nihaino ny feon’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrao ianao hitandremanao ny didiny sy ny lalàny, izay nandidiany anao.
All these curses will come down on you. They will chase after you and attack you until you die because you did not obey the Lord your God and keep the commandments and regulations he gave you.
46 Ary ho famantarana sy fahagagana aminao sy ny taranakao mandrakizay izany,
They will be lasting evidence, visible signs of what happened to you and your descendants.
47 satria tsy nanompo an’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrao tamin’ ny fahafaliana sy ny faharavoam-po ianao noho ny habetsahan’ ny zavatra rehetra.
Because you did not serve the Lord your God with happiness and with a joyful attitude,
48 Any amin’ ny fahanoanana sy ny hetaheta sy ny fitanjahana any ny tsi-fananana na inona na inona no hanompoanao ny fahavalonao izay hampandehanin’ i Jehovah hiady aminao; dia hanisy zioga vy amin’ ny vozonao ireny mandra-pandringany anao.
you will serve your enemies that the Lord sends to attack you with hunger, thirst, nakedness, and poverty. He will tie an iron yoke on your neck until he has destroyed you.
49 Ho entin’ i Jehovah hiady aminao izay firenena avy lavitra, dia ny avy amin’ ny faran’ ny tany-tahaka ny fanidin’ ny voromahery no fihaviny, sady firenena izay tsy ho fantatrao ny fiteniny,
The Lord will bring a nation to attack you from a long way off, from the ends of the earth. They will swoop down upon you like an eagle, this nation whose language you won't understand.
50 firenena masiaka endrika, izay tsy hanaja ny antitra, na hiantra ny tanora
They are a ruthless nation who don't respect for the old and have no mercy on the young.
51 dia hohaniny ny ateraky ny ombinao sy ny vokatry ny taninao mandra-paharinganao; ka tsy hisy havelany ho anao, na vary, na ranom-boaloboka, na diloilo, na ny ateraky ny ombinao, na ny ateraky ny ondry aman’ osinao, mandra-pandringany anao.
They will eat your lambs and calves and the crops you've grown until you are destroyed. They won't leave you any grain or new wine or olive oil, no calves from your herds or lambs from your flocks, so you'll die of starvation.
52 Dia hataony fahirano any amin’ ny tanànanao rehetra ianao mandra-pandravany ny mandanao avo sy mafy, izay itokianao, eran’ ny taninao rehetra; eny, hataony fahirano ianao any amin’ ny tanànanao rehetra eran’ ny taninao rehetra, izay omen’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrao anao.
They will besiege all the towns in your country, until the high, fortified walls that you trust in have fallen. They will besiege all your towns in your country that the Lord your God has given you.
53 Ary eo amin’ ny fahirano sy ny fanerena, izay haneren’ ny fahavalonao anao, dia ny ateraky ny kibonao no hohaninao, dia ny nofon’ ny zanakao-lahy sy ny zanakao-vavy, izay omen’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrao anao.
You'll end up eating your children, the flesh of the sons and daughters the Lord your God gave you, because of the siege and the suffering that your enemy will cause you.
54 Ny lehilahy malemilemy sy mihantahanta indrindra eo aminao dia ho ratsy fijery ny rahalahiny sy ny vadiny andefimandry ary ny zanany sisa,
The kindest and most sensitive man among you will refuse to share his food with his brother, the wife he loves, and those of his own children who are left.
55 ka tsy hisy amin’ ireo hanomezany ny nofon’ ny zanany izay haniny fandrao tsy hisy intsony ho azy amin’ ny fahirano sy ny fanerena, izay haneren’ ny fahavalonao anao any amin’ ny tanànanao rehetra.
He will refuse to share with any of them the flesh of his children that he's forced to eat because he doesn't have anything else because of the siege and suffering your enemy has caused you in all your towns.
56 Ny vehivavy malemilemy sy mihantahanta eo aminao, izay tsy mbola nanandrana nandia tany noho ny fihantahantany sy ny fahalemilemeny, dia ho ratsy fiteny ny vadiny andefimandry sy ny zananilahy ary ny zananivavy
The kindest and most sensitive woman among you, so kind and sensitive she wouldn't ever go barefoot on the ground, will refuse to share her food, a baby and its afterbirth, with the husband she loves and her own son and daughter.
57 noho ny ahitra izay mivoaka avy aminy sy ny zanany vao teraka; fa hihinana izany mangingina izy noho ny tsi-fisian-javatra amin’ ny fahirano sy ny fanerena, izay haneren’ ny fahavalonao anao any amin’ ny tanànanao.
She will even secretly eat her the babies she gives birth to and the afterbirth, since she doesn't have anything else because of the siege and suffering your enemy has caused you in all your towns,
58 Raha tsy tandremanao ny hanaraka ny teny rehetra amin’ ity lalàna ity, izay voasoratra eto amin’ ity boky ity, hatahoranao izao anarana efa nankalazaina sady mahatahotra izao hoe: JEHOVAH ANDRIAMANITRAO,
If you don't carefully observe all these laws written down in this book so that you may show respect for this glorious and awesome Lord your God,
59 dia hataon’ i Jehovah mahagaga ny kapoka hataony aminao sy ny zanakao, dia kapoka mafy sady maharitra ela ary faharariana mafy sady maharitra ela.
he will bring down on you and your descendants unbelievable disasters, intense and long-lasting diseases, and terrible and incurable sicknesses.
60 Dia haveriny aminao indray ny aretin’ i Egypta rehetra, izay natahoranao ka hiraikitra aminao ireny.
He will give you all the diseases you were terrified of in Egypt, and they will stay with you.
61 Ary ny faharariana rehetra sy ny kapoka rehetra koa, izay tsy voasoratra amin’ ny bokin’ ity lalàna ity aza, dia ho entin’ i Jehovah mamely anao mandra-paharinganao.
The Lord will also give you every sickness and disease, even those not recorded in this Book of the Law, until you are destroyed.
62 Ary olona vitsy no ho sisa aminareo hisolo izao fahamaroanareo toy ny kintana eny amin’ ny lanitra izao, satria tsy nihaino ny feon’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrao ianao.
You who grew as numerous as the stars in the sky will end up as only a few, because you would not obey what Lord your God told you.
63 Ary araka izay nifalian’ i Jehovah taminareo hahasoa sy hahamaro anareo, dia araka izany kosa no hifalian’ i Jehovah handringana sy handrava anareo; dia hofongorana ianareo tsy ho eo amin’ ny tany, izay efa hidiranao holovana.
In the same way as he wanted to make you prosperous and increase in number, so now he will wipe you out and destroy you. You will be uprooted from the country you are going in to own.
64 Dia haelin’ i Jehovah any amin’ ny firerena rehetra hatramin’ ny faran’ ny tany ianao; ary any no hanompoanao andriamani-kafa vato aman-kazo, izay tsy fantatrao na ny razanao.
The Lord will scatter you among the nations all over the earth, and there you will worship other gods, gods made of wood and stone, which you and your fathers had never heard of.
65 Ary any amin’ ireo firenena ireo dia tsy hisy hiainanao, na hitsaharan’ ny faladianao; fa any no hanomezan’ i Jehovah anao fo miemponempona sy maso pahina ary fahakiviam-panahy.
You won't find any place to rest among those nations, no place of your own. The Lord will make you anxious, with failing eyesight and a mind full of despair.
66 Ar ny ainao hihevingevina eo anatrehanao; dia hatahotra andro aman’ alina ianao ka tsy hanampo izay ho velona.
You will see your life hanging in the balance as you doubt. You will be afraid day and night, terrified you won't survive.
67 Nony maraina ny andro dia hanao hoe ianao: Malakia hariva! ary nony hariva ny andro, dia hanao hoe ianao: Malakia maraina! noho ny tahotry ny fonao izay hatahoranao, sy noho ny zavatra izay ho hitan’ ny masonao.
In the morning you'll say, “I wish it was evening!” and in the evening you'll say, “I wish it was morning!” because you're so frightened by the terrifying things you see.
68 Ary ianao ho entin’ i Jehovah an-tsambo hiverina any Egypta amin’ izay lalana efa nolazaiko taminao hoe: Tsy hahita izany intsony ianao; dia hivaro-tena ho andevolahy sy ho andevovavy any amin’ ny fahavalonareo ianareo, nefa tsy hisy mpividy.
The Lord will send you back to Egypt in ships to a place that I said you weren't ever meant to see again. You will put yourselves on sale there to your enemies as male and female slaves, but nobody will want to buy you.
