Deotoronomia 29
1 IZAO no tenin’ ny fanekena izay nandidian’ i Jehovah an’ i Mosesy hatao amin’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely tany amin’ ny tany Moaba, afa-tsy ilay fanekena nataony taminy tao Horeba.
The following are the terms of the agreement that the Lord ordered Moses to make with the Israelites in the country of Moab This was in addition to the agreement he had made with them at Horeb.
2 Dia niantso ny Isiraely rehetra Mosesy ka nanao taminy hoe: Hianareo efa nahita izay rehetra nataon’ i Jehovah teo imasonareo tany amin’ ny tany Egypta tamin’ i Farao sy ny mpanompony rehetra ary ny taniny rehetra,
Moses called all the Israelites together and announced to them, You saw with your own eyes everything the Lord did in Egypt to Pharaoh, to all his officials, and to his whole country.
3 dia ny fizahan-toetra lehibe, izay efa hitan’ ny masonao, dia ireny famantarana sy fahagagana lehibe ireny.
You saw with your own eyes the amazing tests, and those great signs and miracles.
4 Nefa tsy nomen’ i Jehovah fo hahalala sy maso hahita ary sofina handre ianareo mandraka androany.
But up to now the Lord has not given you minds that understand, or eyes that see, or ears that hear, saying,
5 Dia nitondra anareo tany an-efitra efa-polo taona aho; tsy rovitra teny aminareo ny fitafianareo, ary tsy rovitra teo amin’ ny tongotrao ny kapanao.
For forty years I led you through the desert, but your clothes and sandals didn't wear out.
6 Tsy mofo no fihinanareo, ary tsy divay na toaka no fisotronareo, mba ho fantatrareo fa Izaho no Jehovah Andriamanitrareo.
You didn't have bread to eat, or wine or alcohol to drink in order that you would realize that I am the Lord your God.
7 Ary nony tonga tamin’ ity tany ity ianareo, dia nivoaka Sihona, mpanjakan’ i Hesbona, sy Oga, mpanjakan’ i Basana, hiady amintsika, dia resintsika izy roa lahy.
When we arrived here, Sihon king of Heshbon and Og king of Bashan marched out to fight us in battle, but we defeated them.
8 Ary nalaintsika ny taniny ka nomentsika ho zara-tanin’ ny Robenita sy ny Gadita ary ny antsasaky ny firenen’ i Manase.
We took their land and gave it to the tribes of Reuben, Gad, and the half-tribe of Manasseh to own.
9 Dia tandremo ny tenin’ izao fanekena izao, ka araho, mba hambinina ianareo amin’ izay rehetra ataonareo.
So make sure you keep and follow the terms of this agreement in order that you may be successful in everything you do.
10 Hianareo rehetra miseho eto anatrehan’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrareo anio, dia ny lehibenareo sy ny firenenareo, ny lohan’ ny firenenareo sy ny mpifehy anareo ary ny lehilahy rehetra amin’ ny Isiraely,
Every one of you is stand here today before the Lord your God: you tribal leaders, officials, and all the men of Israel,
11 ny zanakareo madinika koa sy ny vadinareo ary ny vahiny eo amin’ ny tobinareo mbamin’ ny mpikapa hazonao sy ny mpantsaka ranonao
your children and wives, and the foreigners in your camps who cut your firewood and carry your water.
12 hidiranao amin’ ny faneken’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrao sy ny fianianana, izay ataon’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrao aminao anio,
You're here so you can enter into the agreement of the Lord your God, which he is making with you today, and accept his solemn promise,
13 hanandratany anao ho fireneny, ary mba ho Andriamanitrao Izy, araka izay nolazainy taminao sy araka izay nianianany tamin’ ny razanao, dia Abrahama sy Isaka ary Jakoba.
and so he can confirm you today as his people. He will be your God as he told you and as he promised your forefathers Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
14 Ary tsy aminareo ihany no anaovako izao fanekena sy fianianana izao,
It's not only with you that the Lord is making this agreement and solemn promise,
15 fa amin’ izay eto amintsika anio eto anatrehan’ i Jehovah Andriamanitsika sy amin’ izay tsy eto amintsika anio koa;
those who are standing here with us today in the presence of the Lord our God, but also with those who are not here today.
16 fa fantatrareo izay nitoerantsika tany amin’ ny tany Egypta sy izay nandehanantsika namaky ny tanin’ ny jentilisa;
You know very well what it was like when we lived in the land of Egypt and our experiences as we passed through the nations on the way here.
17 ary efa hitanareo ny fahavetavetany sy ny sampiny hazo sy vato sy volafotsy ary volamena, izay teo aminy;
You saw their disgusting religious practices and their idols of wood and stone, and silver and gold.
18 fandrao hisy lehilahy, na vehivavy, na mpianakavy, na firenena eto aminareo, izay manana fo mivily anio, ka miala amin’ i Jehovah Andriamanitsika, handehanany hanompo ny andriamanitr’ ireny firenena ireny; fandrao hisy faka eo aminareo izay miteraka zava-mangidy sady mahafaty;
You need to make sure today that there's no man or woman, family or tribe of yours who wants to turn from the Lord our God and go and worship the gods of these nations. Make sure there is nothing like that among you that would produce such poison and bitterness.
19 ary raha ren’ izany olona izany ny tenin’ ity fanozonana ity, dia hiarahaba tena ao am-pony izy ka hanao hoe: Hanam-piadanana aho, fa hanaraka ny ditry ny foko, handringanana ny leony mbamin’ ny mangetaheta.
For when someone like that hears the words of this solemn promise, they think they'll still receive a blessing, telling themselves, “I'll be safe, even though I'll go on doing whatever I feel like.” Such an attitude would destroy good and bad alike.
20 Ary Jehovah dia tsy hety hamela ny helony, fa hanetroka amin’ izany lehilahy izany ny fahatezeran’ i Jehovah sy ny fahasaro-piarony, ary hitoetra aminy ny fanozonana rehetra izay voasoratra amin’ ity boky ity, ka hovonoin’ i Jehovah tsy ho eo ambanin’ ny lanitra ny anarany.
The Lord would never want to pardon them. In fact, his passionate anger will burn against them, and every curse written in this book will fall on them. The Lord will erase their name from the earth,
21 Dia hosarahin’ i Jehovah amin’ ny firenen’ Isiraely rehetra ho amin’ ny loza izy, araka ny fanozonana rehetra amin’ ny fanekena izay voasoratra amin’ ity bokin’ ny lalàna ity.
and punish them as an example of them for all the Israelite tribes, in accordance with all the curses of the agreement written in this Book of the Law.
22 Ary hiteny ny taranaka any aoriana, dia ny zanakareo izay hitsangana handimby anareo, sy ny vahiny avy amin’ ny tany lavitra, raha mahita ny kapoka natao tamin’ ity tany ity sy ny faharariana izay nampaharanan’ i Jehovah azy
Later generations, your descendants and foreigners from far away, will see how the Lord has brought disaster on the country and devastated it.
23 fa ho solifara sy sira ary fahamaizana ny tany rehetra eo: tsy hofafazana izy, na hanirian-javatra, sady tsy hisy ahitra akory hitrebona ao, tahaka ny nandravana an’ i Sodoma sy Gomora sy Adma ary Zeboïma, izay noravan’ i Jehovah tamin’ ny fahavinirany sy ny fahatezerany
The whole country will be burning wasteland of sulfur and salt. Nothing is sown; it's totally unproductive; no plant grows there—just like the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah, Admah and Zeboiim, which the Lord destroyed in his furious anger.
24 dia hiteny ny firenena rehetra hoe: Nahoana Jehovah no dia nanao toy izany tamin’ ity tany ity? Inona no hevitry ny firehetan’ izao fahatezerana lehibe izao?
Everyone everywhere will ask, “Why did the Lord do this to the country? Why did he get so terribly angry?”
25 Dia hiteny ny vahoaka ka hanao hoe: Satria izy nahafoy ny faneken’ i Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny razany, izay nataony taminy fony Izy nitondra azy nivoaka avy tany amin’ ny tany Egypta.
The people will answer, “It's because they abandoned the agreement of the Lord, the God of their forefathers, which he made with them when he led them out of Egypt.
26 Fa nandeha izy ka nanompo andriamani-kafa sady niankohoka teo anatrehany, dia andriamanitra izay tsy fantany sady tsy nomena azy;
They went off and worshiped other gods, bowing down to gods they'd never heard of—gods that the Lord had not given to them.
27 dia nirehitra tamin’ ity tany ity ny fahatezeran’ i Jehovah, ka nataony tonga taminy avokoa ny fanozonana rehetra izay voasoratra eto amin’ ity boky ity;
That's why the Lord was so angry with this land, and he rained down on it every curse written in this book.
28 ary fahavinirana sy fahatezerana ary fahatezerana mirehitra no nandroahan’ i Jehovah azy tsy ho eo amin’ ny taniny sy nampandehanany azy ho any amin’ ny tany hafa, tahaka ny amin’ izao anio izao.
The Lord uprooted them from their country in his anger, rage, and fury, and he threw them out, leaving them in another land, where they are to this day.”
29 An’ i Jehovah Andriamanitsika ny zava-miafina; fa antsika sy ny zanatsika mandrakizay kosa ny zavatra ambara, hankatoavantsika ny teny rehetra amin’ ity lalàna ity.
The Lord our God has secrets that belong to him, but what has been revealed belong to us and to our descendants forever, so that we may follow everything in this law.
