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 do what Yahweh our God tells you to do and faithfully obey everything that I am today commanding you to do, he will cause you to become greater than any other nation on the earth.
2 ary ho tonga aminao sy ho azonao izao fitahiana rehetra izao, raha mihaino ny feon’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrao ianao
If you obey Yahweh, this is what he will do to bless you:
3 Hotahina ianao ao an-tanàna, ary hotahina ianao any an-tsaha.
He will bless everything that you do when you are in the cities and he will bless everything that you do when you are [working] in the fields.
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.
He will bless you by giving you many children [IDM] and by giving you abundant crops, and plenty of cattle and sheep.
5 Hotahina ny haronao sy ny vilia fanaova-mofonao.
He will bless you by causing you to have good harvests with plenty of grain [MTY] to make bread.
6 Hotahina ianao, raha miditra; ary hotahina ianao, raha mivoaka.
He will bless you [everywhere]—when you go out [of your houses] and when you come into [your houses].
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.
Yahweh will enable you to defeat [the armies of] your enemies; they will attack you from one direction, but they will run away from you in seven/many directions.
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.
Yahweh will bless you [by filling] your barns [with grain], and he will bless all the work that you do; he will bless you in the land that he is giving to 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.
“If you obey all the commandments that Yahweh our God [has given to you] and if you conduct your lives as he wants you to do, you will continue to be his people, which is what he promised.
10 Dia ho hitan’ ny firenena rehetra ambonin’ ny tany fa ny anaran’ i Jehovah no antsoina aminao, dia hatahotra anao izy.
“When all the people-groups on the earth will realize that you belong to [MTY] Yahweh, 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.
“And Yahweh will cause you to prosper very much. He will give you many children [IDM], many cattle, and abundant crops in the land that he vowed to our ancestors that he would give to 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.
“When rain is needed, Yahweh will send it from where he stores it in the sky, and he will bless all your work, with the result that you [will be able to] lend money to many other nations, but you will not need to borrow [money from 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.
If you faithfully obey all of the commands of Yahweh our God that I am giving you today, Yahweh will cause your nation to be a leader among the nations, not inferior to them; you will always be prosperous and never be needy/poor [IDM].
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.
[Yahweh will do all these things for you] if you do not turn away from [obeying] what I am commanding you today, and if you never worship or serve 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 do not do what Yahweh our God is telling you to do, and if you do not faithfully obey all his rules and regulations that I am giving to you today, this is what he will do to curse you:
16 Hozonina ianao ao an-tanàna, ary hozonina ianao any an-tsaha.
He will curse you when you are in the cities and he will curse you when you are [working] in the fields.
17 Hozonina ny haronao sy ny vilia fanaova-mofonao.
He will curse you by not allowing you to have good harvests with plenty of grain [MTY] to make bread.
18 Hozonina ny ateraky ny kibonao sy ny vokatry ny taninao ary ny ateraky ny ombinao sy ny ateraky ny ondry aman’ osinao.
He will curse you by giving you only a few children [IDM], by causing you to have poor crops, and by not enabling you to have many cattle and sheep.
19 Hozonina ianao, raha miditra; ary hozonina ianao, raha mivoaka.
He will curse you [everywhere]—when you go out [of your houses] and when you come into [your houses].
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.
If you do evil things and reject Yahweh, he will curse you by causing you to (be confused/not know what to do), and to be frustrated in everything that you do, until [your enemies] quickly and completely destroy you {you will be quickly and completely destroyed}.
21 Hampiraiketin’ i Jehovah aminao ny areti-mandringana, mandra-pandaniny anao tsy ho eo amin’ ny tany izay efa hidiranao holovana.
Yahweh will cause you to experience terrible diseases, until not one of you remains alive in the land that you are about to enter and occupy.
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.
Yahweh will strike/afflict you with diseases that shrivel your bodies, with fever, with inflammation/swelling. It will be extremely hot, and it will not rain. There will be scorching winds, and [Yahweh will cause] your crops to rot. All these things will strike you until you die.
23 Ary ho varahina ny lanitra eo ambonin’ ny lohanao, ary ho vy ny tany eo ambaninao.
There will be no rain [MET], [with the result that] the ground will be [as hard as] iron [MET].
24 Hataon’ i Jehovah vovoka sy jofo ny ranonorana amin’ ny taninao; avy any an-danitra no hidinan’ izany aminao mandra-paharinganao.
Instead of sending rain, Yahweh will send strong winds to blow sand and dust over your land, until your land is ruined.
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.
Yahweh will enable your enemies to defeat you; your soldiers will attack your enemies from one direction, but they will run away from your enemies in seven/many directions, and when the people of other nations see what is happening to you, they will say that it is horrible.
26 Ary ny fatinao hohanin’ ny voro-manidina rehetra sy ny bibi-dia, ka tsy hisy hanaitaitra azy.
[You will die], and birds and wild animals will come and eat your corpses, and there will not be anyone to scare/shoo them away.
27 Hamelin’ i Jehovah anao ny vain’ i Egypta sy ny tomboka sy ny hatina ary ny hazaka (izay tsy azom-panafody);
Yahweh will cause you to have boils on your skin, like he caused the people of Egypt to have [many years ago]. He will cause you to have tumors, open sores, and your skin will itch, and there will be nothing that will cure those diseases.
28 ary hamelin’ i Jehovah anao koa ny fahadalana sy ny fahajambana ary ny fahaverezan-kevitra.
Yahweh will cause [some of] you to become insane; he will cause some of you to become blind, and he will cause [some of] your minds to become 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.
[Because you will not be able to see where you are going], at midday you will (grope/feel your way) around with your hands, like people do in the darkness. You will continually be oppressed and robbed, and no one will help 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.
Some of you men will be engaged/promised to marry a young woman, but someone else will rape her. You will build houses, but you will never live in them. You will plant grapevines, but you will not eat the grapes; [someone else will eat them].
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 enemies will butcher your cattle while you watch them, and you will not get any of the meat to eat. They will drag away your donkeys while you watch them do it, and they will not give them back to you. They will take away your sheep; and no one will help you [rescue them].
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.
While you watch, your sons and daughters will be given to foreigners to become their slaves. Every day you will very sadly watch for your children to return, but (you will watch in vain/they will never return).
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.
People from a foreign nation will take all the crops that you worked hard to produce, and they will constantly treat you harshly and cruelly [DOU].
34 Dia ho very saina ianao noho ny zavatra izay ho hitan’ ny masonao.
The result will be that all these terrible things that you see/experience will cause you to become insane.
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.
Yahweh will cause your legs [to be covered with] painful boils that cannot be healed, and you will have boils from the bottoms of your feet to the tops of your heads.
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.
Yahweh will cause your king and the rest of you to be taken to another country, to a place in which you and your ancestors have never lived before, and there you will worship and serve gods that are made of wood or stone.
37 Dia ho figagana sy ohabolana ary ho ambentinteny ianao any amin’ ny firenena rehetra izay hitondran’ i Jehovah anao.
When the people-groups in nearby countries see what has happened to you, they will be shocked/horrified; they will make fun [DOU] of 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 plant plenty of seeds in your fields, but you will reap only a small harvest, because locusts will eat the crops.
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 grapevines and take care of them, but you will not pick any grapes to make wine, because worms will eat the vines.
40 Hanana hazo oliva amin’ ny taninao rehetra ianao, nefa tsy hihosotra diloilo; fa hihintsana ny olivanao.
Olive trees will grow everywhere in your land, but you will not get any olive oil to rub on your skin because the olives will drop [on the ground before they are ripe].
41 Hiteraka zazalahy sy zazavavy ianao, nefa tsy ho anao ireny, fa ho lasan-ko babo.
You will have sons and daughters, but they will not stay with you, because they will be captured and taken away.
42 Ny hazonao sy ny vokatry ny taninao rehetra dia ho lanin’ ny valala.
Swarms of locusts/insects will eat your crops and [the leaves of] all your trees.
43 Ny vahiny eo aminao hisandratra ho ambony dia ambony noho ianao, fa ianao kosa hietry ho ambany dia ambany.
Foreigners who live in your land will become more and more [powerful], and you will become less and less [powerful].
44 Izy hampisambotra anao, fa ianao kosa tsy hampisambotra azy; izy ho lohany, fa ianao ho rambony.
They will [have money to] lend to you, but you will not [have any money to] lend to them. They will be superior [IDM] to you, and you will be inferior to them [IDM].
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.
“You will experience all these disasters, and you will continue to experience them you until you are destroyed, if you do not do what Yahweh your God told you to do, and do not obey all the rules and regulations that he gave to you.
46 Ary ho famantarana sy fahagagana aminao sy ny taranakao mandrakizay izany,
“These disasters will warn [DOU] you and your descendants forever [about what happens to groups who disobey Yahweh].
47 satria tsy nanompo an’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrao tamin’ ny fahafaliana sy ny faharavoam-po ianao noho ny habetsahan’ ny zavatra rehetra.
“Because Yahweh blessed you abundantly in many ways, you should have served him very joyfully [DOU], but you did not do that.
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.
“Therefore, you will work for the enemies whom Yahweh will send to attack you. You will be hungry and thirsty; you will not have clothes to wear; and you will lack everything else that you need. And Yahweh will cause you to become slaves [MET] and work hard until he gets rid of 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,
“Yahweh will cause an army from very far away [HYP] to attack you, whose soldiers speak a language that you do not know/understand. They will swoop down on you [quickly] like an eagle [SIM] attacks its prey.
50 firenena masiaka endrika, izay tsy hanaja ny antitra, na hiantra ny tanora
They will be fierce looking. They will not act mercifully toward anyone, not even young children and old people.
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 [kill and] eat your livestock, and they will eat your crops, and you will (starve/die because you do not have anything to eat). They will not leave for you any grain or wine or [olive] oil or cattle or sheep; and you will all die [from hunger].
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.
Your enemies will surround your towns throughout the land that Yahweh your God is about to give to you, and they will break down the high and strong walls [around your towns], walls which you trusted/thought would protect 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.
“When your enemies are surrounding [your towns], you will be extremely hungry, with the result that you will eat the flesh of your own sons and daughters that Yahweh your God has given to you.
54 Ny lehilahy malemilemy sy mihantahanta indrindra eo aminao dia ho ratsy fijery ny rahalahiny sy ny vadiny andefimandry ary ny zanany sisa,
When your enemies have surrounded your towns, even the most gentle and sensitive men among you will want food very desperately, with the result that they will [kill their own children and] eat their flesh, because they will not have anything else to eat. They will not even share any of it with their brothers or wives whom they love very much or with any of their children who are still alive.
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.
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
Even the most gentle and sensitive/kind women among you, who are very refined/rich with the result that they have never had to walk anywhere [HYP], will do the same thing. When your enemies have surrounded your towns, those women will be extremely hungry, with the result that after they give birth to a baby, they will secretly [kill it and] eat its flesh and also eat its afterbirth. And they will not share any of it with their husbands whom they love very much or with any of their other children.
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.
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 do not faithfully obey all of the laws that I am writing, and if you do not revere Yahweh our glorious God [MTY],
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 [punish you by] causing you and your descendants to experience great afflictions and plagues which will last for many years.
60 Dia haveriny aminao indray ny aretin’ i Egypta rehetra, izay natahoranao ka hiraikitra aminao ireny.
He will cause you to experience the plagues that he sent on the people of Egypt, and you will never be healed.
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.
He will also cause you to experience many other sicknesses and diseases that I have not talked about in these laws, until you all will die.
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 became as numerous as the stars in the sky, but only a few of you will remain alive, if you do not obey Yahweh your God.
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.
Yahweh was very happy to do good things for you and to cause you to become very numerous, but now he will be happy to ruin you and get rid of you. [Those of] you [who do not die from these plagues] will be snatched away from the land that you will soon be entering to possess.
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.
“Yahweh will scatter you among many people-groups, all over the earth, and in those areas/places you will serve other gods that are made of wood or stone, gods which you and your ancestors have never known/worshiped.
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.
In those places you will be restless. Yahweh will cause you to be constantly worried/anxious, feel hopeless, and discouraged.
66 Ar ny ainao hihevingevina eo anatrehanao; dia hatahotra andro aman’ alina ianao ka tsy hanampo izay ho velona.
You will always be afraid that your enemies will kill you. You will be very fearful, all day and all night.
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.
Because you will be very fearful/afraid because of the [terrible] things that you see, each morning you will say ‘I wish it were evening already!’ and each evening you will say ‘I wish it were morning already!’
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.
Yahweh will send [some of] you back to Egypt in ships, even though he promised that you would never [be forced to] go there again. There in Egypt you will try to sell yourselves to become slaves of your enemies [in order to have food to eat], but no one will buy you. [All those things will happen to you if you do not obey the laws that Yahweh is giving to you].”
