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.

These, are the words of the covenant which Yahweh commanded Moses to solemnise with the sons of Israel in the land of Moab, —besides the covenant, which he solemnised with them in 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,

And Moses called unto all Israel and said unto them, —Ye yourselves, saw all that Yahweh did before your eyes in the land of Egypt, unto Pharaoh and unto all his servants and unto all his land:

3 dia ny fizahan-toetra lehibe, izay efa hitan’ ny masonao, dia ireny famantarana sy fahagagana lehibe ireny.

the great provings which thine own eyes saw, —those great signs and wonders:

4 Nefa tsy nomen’ i Jehovah fo hahalala sy maso hahita ary sofina handre ianareo mandraka androany.

yet hath Yahweh not given onto you a heart to know, or eyes to see or ears to hear, —until this day.

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.

I led you, therefore forty years in the desert, —your mantles fell not with age, from off you, even thy sandal, fell not with age from off thy foot:

6 Tsy mofo no fihinanareo, ary tsy divay na toaka no fisotronareo, mba ho fantatrareo fa Izaho no Jehovah Andriamanitrareo.

Bread, ye did not eat, and wine and strong drink, ye did not drink, —that ye might know that, I, Yahweh, was 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.

And when ye entered into this place, then came forth Sihon king of Heshbon and Og king of Bashan to meet us in battle and we smote them;

8 Ary nalaintsika ny taniny ka nomentsika ho zara-tanin’ ny Robenita sy ny Gadita ary ny antsasaky ny firenen’ i Manase.

and we took their land, and gave it for an inheritance unto the Reubenites and unto the Gadites, —and unto the half tribe of Manasseh.

9 Dia tandremo ny tenin’ izao fanekena izao, ka araho, mba hambinina ianareo amin’ izay rehetra ataonareo.

Ye must, therefore, keep the words of this covenant, and do them, —that ye may prosper in all that ye 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,

Ye are stationed, to-day, all of you, before Yahweh your God, —your heads your tribes, and your elders and your officers, every man 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 little ones your wives, and thy sojourner that is in the midst of thy camps, —from him that heweth thy wood unto him that draweth thy water:

12 hidiranao amin’ ny faneken’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrao sy ny fianianana, izay ataon’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrao aminao anio,

that thou mayest pass through into the covenant of Yahweh thy God and into his oath, —which Yahweh thy God is solemnising with thee, to-day:

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.

that he may confirm thee to-day as his own people, while, he, becometh thine own God, as he spake unto thee, —and as he sware unto thy fathers, unto Abraham unto Isaac and unto Jacob.

14 Ary tsy aminareo ihany no anaovako izao fanekena sy fianianana izao,

And not with you alone, am I solemnising this covenant and this oath;

15 fa amin’ izay eto amintsika anio eto anatrehan’ i Jehovah Andriamanitsika sy amin’ izay tsy eto amintsika anio koa;

but with him who is here with us, standing to-day before Yahweh our God, —and with him who is not here with us to-day.

16 fa fantatrareo izay nitoerantsika tany amin’ ny tany Egypta sy izay nandehanantsika namaky ny tanin’ ny jentilisa;

(For, ye, know, how we dwelt in the land of Egypt, —and how we passed through the midst of the nations which ye did pass through;

17 ary efa hitanareo ny fahavetavetany sy ny sampiny hazo sy vato sy volafotsy ary volamena, izay teo aminy;

and ye saw their disgusting images, and their manufactured gods, —the wood and the stone, the silver and the gold that are with them.)

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;

Lest there be among you—a man or a woman or a family or a tribe, whose heart is turning to-day, from Yahweh our God, to go and serve the gods of those nations, —lest there be among you a root fruitful of poison and wormwood;

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.

and so it come to pass while he is hearing the words of this oath, that he will bless himself in his heart—saying, Prosperity, shall I have, although in the stubbornness of my heart, I go on, —so that the drunkenness addeth to the thirst:

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.

Yahweh will not be willing to forgive him, but, then, will the anger of Yahweh and his jealousy smoke against that man, and all the oath that is written in this scroll, shall settle down upon him, —and Yahweh wipe out his name from under the heavens;

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 Yahweh single him out for calamity, out of all the tribes of Israel, —according to all the oaths of the covenant that is written in this scroll 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

So that the generation coming after—your sons who shall rise up after you, and the foreigner who shall come in from a far-off land, will say—when they see the plagues of that land and the sicknesses thereof wherewith Yahweh hath made it sick:

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

brimstone and salt burning up all the land thereof, it shall not be sown neither shall it shoot forth neither shall there come up thereon any herbage, —like the overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah, Admah and Zeboiim, which Yahweh overthrow in his anger and in his wrath:

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?

yea all the nations will say, For what cause, hath Yahweh done, thus, unto this land? what meaneth this great heat of anger?

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.

Then will men say, Because they forsook the covenant of Yahweh the God of their fathers, —which he solemnised with them, when he brought them forth out of the land of Egypt;

26 Fa nandeha izy ka nanompo andriamani-kafa sady niankohoka teo anatrehany, dia andriamanitra izay tsy fantany sady tsy nomena azy;

and went and served other gods, and bowed down to them, —gods which they had not known, and in which he had given them no share:

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;

therefore did the anger of Yahweh kindle upon that land, —to bring in upon it all the curse that is written in this scroll;

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.

and therefore hath Yahweh rooted them out, from off their own soil, in anger and in wrath and in great indignation, —and cast them into another land as at 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 secret things, [belong unto Yahweh our God] and, the things that are revealed, belong to us and to our children unto times age-abiding, that we may do all the words of this law.
