Deotoronomia 31

1 Ary Mosesy nandeha, dia nilaza izao teny izao tamin’ ny Isiraely rehetra

And Moses finished speaking all these words to all the children of Israel;

2 ka nanao taminy hoe: Efa roa-polo amby zato taona androany aho ka tsy afa-mivoaka sy miditra intsony, ary Jehovah efa nilaza tamiko hoe: Tsy hita io Jordana io ianao.

and said to them, I am this day a hundred and twenty years [old]; I shall not be able any longer to come in or go out; and the Lord said to me, Thou shalt not go over this Jordan.

3 Jehovah Andriamanitrao no hita eo alohanao, ary Izy no handringana ireo firenena ireo tsy ho eo anoloanao, ka hahazo ny taniny ianao; ary Josoa no hita eo alohanao, araka izay efa nolazain’ i Jehovah.

The Lord thy God who goes before thee, he shall destroy these nations before thee, and thou shalt inherit them: and [it shall be] Joshua that goes before thy face, as the Lord has spoken.

4 Ary Jehovah hanao amin’ ireo tahaka ny nataony tamin’ i Sihona sy Oga, mpanjakan’ ny Amorita, izay naringany, sy tahaka ny nataony tamin’ ny taniny.

And the Lord thy God shall do to them as he did to Seon and Og the two kings of the Amorites, who were beyond Jordan, and to their land, as he destroyed them.

5 Dia hatolotr’ i Jehovah eo anoloanareo ireo hanaovanareo azy araka ny lalàna rehetra izay nandidiako anareo.

And the Lord has delivered them to you; and ye shall do to them, as I charged you.

6 Mahereza sy matanjaha; aza matahotra na manahy azy; fa Jehovah Andriamanitrao no miara-mandeha aminao; tsy handao anao na hahafoy anao Izy.

Be courageous and strong, fear not, neither be cowardly neither be afraid before them; for [it is] the Lord your God that advances with you in the midst of you, neither will he by any means forsake thee, nor desert thee.

7 Ary Mosesy niantso an’ i Josoa ka niteny taminy teo imason’ ny Isiraely rehetra hoe: Mahereza sy matanjaha; fa ianao sy ity firenena ity dia hiara-miditra ao amin’ ny tany izay nianianan’ i Jehovah tamin’ ny razany homena azy; ary ianao no hampandova azy izany.

And Moses called Joshua, and said to him before all Israel, Be courageous and strong; for thou shalt go in before this people into the land which the Lord sware to your fathers to give to them, and thou shalt give it to them for an inheritance.

8 Ary Jehovah no mandeha eo alohanao; ary Izy no hiaraka aminao; tsy handao anao na hahafoy anao Izy; koa aza matahotra na mivadi-po ianao.

And the Lord that goes with thee shall not forsake thee nor abandon thee; fear not, neither be afraid.

9 Dia nosoratan’ i Mosesy izany lalàna izany ka natolony ireo mpisorona, taranak’ i Levy, izay mpitondra ny fiaran’ ny faneken’ i Jehovah, sy ny loholon’ ny Isiraely rehetra.

And Moses wrote the words of this law in a book, and gave it to the priests the sons of Levi who bear the ark of the covenant of the Lord, and to the elders of the sons of Israel.

10 Dia nandidy azy Mosesy ka nanao hoe: Isam-pito taona, dia amin’ ny taom-panafahana, amin’ ny andro firavoravoana fitoerana amin’ ny trano rantsan-kazo,

And Moses charged them in that day, saying, After seven years, in the time of the year of release, in the feast of tabernacles,

11 ka avy hiseho eo anatrehan’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrao eo amin’ ny tany izay hofidiny ny Isiraely rehetra, dia aoka hovakinao eo anatrehan’ ny Isiraely rehetra ny tenin’ ity lalàna ity hihainoany azy.

when all Israel come together to appear before the Lord your God, in the place which the Lord shall choose, ye shall read this law before all Israel in their ears,

12 Vorio ny vahoaka rehetra, na lehilahy, na vehivavy, na ankizy madinika, na ny vahiny ao an-tanànanao, hihainoany sy hianarany ka hatahorany an’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrao sy hitandremany hanaraka ny teny rehetra amin’ ity lalàna ity.

having assembled the people, the men, and the women, and the children, and the stranger that is in your cities, that they may hear, and that they may learn to fear the Lord your God; and they shall hearken to do all the words of this law.

13 Ary ny zanany koa, izay tsy nahalala, dia handre ka hianatra hatahotra an’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrareo amin’ ny andro rehetra hiainanareo eo amin’ ny tany, izay efa hidiranareo holovana, rehefa tafita an’ i Jordana ianareo.

And their sons who have not known shall hear, and shall learn to fear the Lord thy God all the days that they live upon the land, into which ye go over Jordan to inherit it.

14 Dia hoy Jehovah tamin’ i Mosesy: Indro, antomotra ny andro hahafatesanao; koa miantsoa an’ i Josoa, ary mitoera ao amin’ ny trano-lay fihaonana ianareo mba handidiako azy. Dia nandeha Mosesy sy Josoa ka nitoetra tao amin’ ny trano-lay fihaonana.

And the Lord said to Moses, Behold, the days of thy death are at hand; call Joshua, and stand ye by the doors of the tabernacle of testimony, and I will give him a charge. And Moses and Joshua went to the tabernacle of testimony, and stood by the doors of the tabernacle of testimony.

15 Ary Jehovah niseho teo amin’ ny trano-lay tamin’ ny andri-rahona; dia nijanona teo anoloan’ ny varavaran’ ny trano-lay ny andri-rahona.

And the Lord descended in a cloud, and stood by the doors of the tabernacle of testimony; and the pillar of the cloud stood by the doors of the tabernacle of testimony.

16 Ary hoy Jehovah tamin’ i Mosesy: Indro fa hodi-mandry any amin’ ny razanao ianao; ary hitsangana ity firenena ity ka hijangajanga hanaraka ny andriamani-kafa any amin’ ny tany izay efa hidirany honenana, dia hahafoy Ahy izy ka hivadika ny fanekeko izay nataoko taminy.

And the Lord said to Moses, Behold, thou shalt sleep with thy fathers, and this people will arise and go a whoring after the strange gods of the land, into which they are entering: and they will forsake me, and break my covenant, which I made with them.

17 Dia hirehitra aminy ny fahatezerako amin’ izany andro izany, ka hahafoy azy Aho ary hanafina ny tavako aminy, ka ho lany ritra izy, ary loza maro sy fahoriana no hanjo azy; dia hiteny izy amin’ izany andro izany ka hanao hoe: Moa tsy ny tsy itoeran’ Andriamanitro eto amiko va no mahatonga izao fahoriana izao amiko?

And I will be very angry with them in that day, and I will leave them and turn my face away from them, and they shall be devoured; and many evils and afflictions shall come upon them; and they shall say in that day, Because the Lord my God is not with me, these evils have come upon me.

18 Ary Izaho dia hanafina ny tavako tokoa amin’ izany andro izany noho ny ratsy rehetra izay nataony, fa nivily nanaraka andriamani-kafa izy.

And I will surely turn away my face from them in that day, because of all their evil doings which they have done, because they turned aside after strange gods.

19 Ary ankehitriny soraty ho anareo izao fihirana izao, ka ampianaro ny Zanak’ Isiraely, ary aoka tsy ho afaka am-bavany izao fihirana izao mba ho vavolombelona amin’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely.

And now write the words of this song, and teach it to the children of Israel, and ye shall put it into their mouth, that this song may witness for me among the children of Israel to their face.

20 Fa rehefa entiko any amin’ ny tany tondra-dronono sy tantely, izay nianianako tamin’ ny razany homena azy izy, ary hihinana ka ho voky sy hihamatavy, dia hivily hanaraka andriamani-kafa izy ka hanompo azy, ary handà Ahy ka hivadika ny fanekeko.

For I will bring them into the good land, which I sware to their fathers, to give to them a land flowing with milk and honey: and they shall eat and be filled and satisfy [themselves]; then will they turn aside after other gods, and serve them, and they will provoke me, and break my covenant.

21 Ary raha manjo azy ny zava-dratsy maro sy ny fahoriana, dia ho vavolombelona aminy izao fihirana izao, fa tsy ho afaka am-bavan’ ny taranany izao, fa fantatro ny fisainany izay efa hataony, na dia ankehitriny aza, raha tsy mbola nentiko any amin’ ny tany izay nianianako homena azy izy.

And this song shall stand up to witness against them; for they shall not forget it out of their mouth, or out of the mouth of their seed; for I know their wickedness, what they are doing here this day, before I have brought them into the good land, which I sware to their fathers.

22 Dia nosoratan’ i Mosesy androtrizay ihany izao fihirana izao ka nampianariny ny Zanak’ Isiraely.

And Moses wrote this song in that day, and taught it to the children of Israel.

23 Ary Jehovah nandidy an’ i Josoa, zanak’ i Nona, ka nanao hoe: Mahereza sy matanjaha; fa ianao no hitondra ny Zanak’ Isiraely hiditra ao amin’ ny tany izay nianianako taminy homena azy, ary homba anao Aho.

And he charged Joshua, and said, Be courageous and strong, for thou shalt bring the sons of Israel into the land, which the Lord sware to them, and he shall be with thee.

24 Ary rehefa voasoratr’ i Mosesy teo amin’ ny boky avokoa ny tenin’ ity lalàna ity,

And when Moses finished writing all the words of this law in a book, even to the end,

25 dia nandidy ny Levita, izay mpitondra ny fiaran’ ny faneken’ i Jehovah, izy ka nanao hoe:

then he charged the Levites who bear the ark of the covenant of the Lord, saying,

26 Raiso ity bokin’ ny lalàna ity, ka apetraho eo anilan’ ny fiaran’ ny faneken’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrareo mba ho vavolombelona aminao.

Take the book of this law, and ye shall put it in the side of the ark of the covenant of the Lord your God; and it shall be there among you for a testimony.

27 Fa izaho mahalala ny ditranao sy ny hamafi-hatokao; indro, na dia mbola velona eto aminareo ankehitriny aza aho, dia miodina amin’ i Jehovah ianareo, ka mainka fa rehefa maty aho.

For I know thy provocation, and thy stiff neck; for yet during my life with you at this day, ye have been provoking in your conduct toward God: how shall ye not also be so after my death?

28 Vorio ho eto amiko ny loholona rehetra amin’ ny firenenareo sy ny mpifehy anareo, mba holazaiko eo anatrehany izao teny izao; ary hiantso ny lanitra sy ny tany ho vavolombelona aminy aho.

Gather together to me the heads of your tribes, and your elders, and your judges, and your officers, that I may speak in their ears all these words; and I call both heaven and earth to witness against them.

29 Fa fantatro fa rehefa maty aho, dia hanao ratsy tokoa ianareo ka hiala amin’ ny lalana izay nasaiko nalehanareo; dia ho tratry ny loza ianareo any am-parany, satria hanao izay ratsy eo imason’ i Jehovah ianareo ka hampahatezitra Azy amin’ ny asan’ ny tananareo.

For I know that after my death ye will utterly transgress, and turn aside out of the way which I have commanded you; and evils shall come upon you in the latter days, because ye will do evil before the Lord, to provoke him to anger by the works of your hands. And Moses spoke all the words of this song even to the end, in the ears of the whole assembly.

30 Dia nolazain’ i Mosesy teo anatrehan’ ny fiangonana, dia ny Isiraely rehetra, ny tenin’ izao fihirana izao mandra-pahavitany.
