Deotoronomia 32
1 Mihainoa, ry lanitra, fa hiteny aho! Ary mandrenesa, ry tany, ny tenin’ ny vavako!
Heaven, listen as I speak; Earth, hear what I'm saying.
2 Ho avy tahaka ny ranonorana ny fampianarako, Ary hilatsaka tahaka ny ando ny teniko, Sy tahaka ny erika amin’ ny ahi-maitso Ary ny ranonorana amin’ ny anana.
May my teaching fall gently like the rain; may my words drop lightly like the dew, like soft rain on new grass, like spring showers on growing plants.
3 Fa ny anaran’ i Jehovah no hotoriko; Maneke ny fahalehibiazan’ Andriamanitsika.
I will praise the Lord's character. Tell everyone how great he is!
4 Ny amin’ ny Vatolampy, tanteraka ny asany; Fa ny lalany rehetra dia amin’ ny rariny avokoa. Andriamanitra mahatoky Izy, ka tsy misy ratsy ao aminy; Marina sy mahitsy Izy.
He is the Rock. Everything he does is perfect, for all his ways are right. He is the trustworthy God who is never unjust; he is fair and honest.
5 Efa nasian-dratsy Izy; Tsy zanany ireny, tsininy izany; Taranaka miolakolaka sady efa nivadika izy.
His children have acted immorally towards him; so they are no longer his children because of their sinful stains. They are a perverse and corrupt people.
6 Moa Jehovah hovalianareo toy izany va, Ry firenena adala ka tsy hendry? Tsy Izy va no Rainao, Izay nanavotra anao? Tsy Izy va no nanao anao sy nanorina anao?
Is this any way to repay the Lord, you foolish, stupid people? Isn't he your Father who created you? Isn't he the one who turned you into a nation and made you strong?
7 Tsarovy ny andro fahiny, Saino ny taona hatrizay hatrizay; Anontanio amin-drainao, fa hanambara aminao izy, Sy amin’ ny anti-panahy eo aminao, fa hilaza aminao izy;
Remember the olden days; think about times long ago. God and ask your father, and he will explain them to you. Talk to your elders, and they will let you know.
8 Fony nomen’ ny Avo Indrindra zara-tany ny jentilisa, Ka samy natokantokany ny zanak’ olombelona, Dia notendreny ny fari-tanin’ ireo firenena Araka ny isan’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely.
The Most High gave the nations their lands when he divided the human race; he fixed their borders depending on their gods.
9 Fa anjaran’ i Jehovah ny olony: Jakoba no natokany ho lovany.
But the Lord's people are his, Israel is his chosen one.
10 Nahita azy tany an-efitra Izy, Dia tany amin’ ny tany foana be nampierona, Ka dia nanodidina sy niahy azy Ary notandremany tahaka ny anakandriamasony.
He found you in a desert land, in a desolate wasteland of whirlwinds. He protected you; he cared for you; he looked after you as the one he loved the most.
11 Toy ny voromahery manaitra ny ao amin’ ny akaniny Ka manidintsidina eo ambonin’ ny zanany, Dia toy izany no namelarany ny elany sy nandraisany azy Ary nitondrany azy teo ambonin’ ny elany,
Like an eagle watching over its nest, hovering over its chicks, he spread his wings and picked you up and carried you along.
12 Jehovah irery no nitondra azy, Ary tsy nisy andriamani-kafa teo aminy.
The Lord was the only one who led you; no foreign god was with him.
13 Nampandeha azy teny ambonin’ ny havoana amin’ ny tany Izy, Ka nohaniny ny vokatry ny saha. Nampitsentsitra azy tantely avy teo amin’ ny vatolampy Izy Sy diloilo avy teo amin’ ny vatolampy afovato
The Lord gave you the high country to rule, and fed you with the crops of the field to eat. He sustained you with honey from the rock and olive oil from the flinty crag,
14 Sy rononomandrin’ omby sy rononon’ ondry aman’ osy Mbamin’ ny tavin’ ny zanak’ ondry Sy ondrilahin’ i Basana sy osilahy Ary vary izay vokatra indrindra; Ary nisotro divay mahery avy tamin’ ny ran’ ny voaloboka ianao.
with yogurt from the herd and milk from the flock, with the fat of lambs, with rams from Bashan, and goats, along with the best wheat. You drank the wine made from the best grapes.
15 Nihanatavy Jesorona ka namely daka, Efa matavy ianao sady vory nofo no vaventibe, Dia nahafoy an’ Andriamanitra Izay nanao azy izy, Ary nanamavo ny Vatolampy famonjena azy.
But Israel, you grew fat and rebelled—fat, overweight, and bloated with food. You abandoned the God who made you and despised the Rock of your salvation.
16 Nampahasaro-piaro Azy tamin’ ny hafa Izy; Ary tamin’ ny zava-betaveta no nampahasosorany Azy;
You made the Lord jealous by worshiping foreign gods; you made him angry with such disgusting practices.
17 Namono zavatra ho fanatitra ho an’ ny demonia izay tsy Andriamanitra izy, Dia andriamanitra tsy fantany, Fa andriamanitra vao niseho, Izay tsy natahoran’ ny razanareo.
You offered sacrifices to demons instead of God, to gods you didn't know anything about, to brand-new gods that your forefathers didn't worship.
18 Ny Vatolampy Izay niteraka anao dia tsy tsaroanao, Ary hadinoinao Andriamanitra Izay nahary anao.
You dismissed the Rock who fathered you; you forgot the God who gave birth to you.
19 Ary Jehovah nahita izany ka nandà Noho ny fahasosorany tamin’ ny zananilahy sy ny zananivavy.
The Lord rejected them when he saw this; his sons and daughters made him angry.
20 Dia hoy Izy: Hafeniko azy ny tavako; Ho hitako izay hiafarany; Fa firenena tena mpivadibadika izy, Dia zaza tsy mahatoky.
He said: “I will turn away from them. Then I'll see what happens to them! They are a perverse people, unfaithful children.
21 Izy efa nampahasaro-piaro Ahy tamin’ izay tsy Andriamanitra Sy nampahasosotra Ahy tamin’ ny zava-poanany; Ary Izaho kosa hampahasaro-piaro azy amin’ izay tsy olona, Sy hampahasosotra azy amin’ izay firenena adala.
They have made me jealous by worshiping things that are not God; they have made me angry with their useless idols. So I will make them jealous using a people that aren't really a nation; I will make them angry using ignorant foreigners.
22 Fa arehitra ny afon’ ny fahatezerako, Ka mandoro hatrany amin’ ny fiainan-tsi-hita any ambany indrindra, Sady mandevona ny tany mbamin’ ny vokatra ao aminy Ary mampirehitra ny fanambanin’ ny tendrombohitra aza. (Sheol h7585)
My anger has been set on fire, burning down to the depths of the grave, destroying the earth and all it produces, even setting fire to the foundations of the mountains. (Sheol h7585)
23 Havangongoko aminy ny loza betsaka; Ary holaniko aminy ny zana-tsi-pikako:
I will pile disasters on them; I will use up my arrows shooting at them.
24 Hofezahin’ ny mosary izy sady holanin’ ny areti-mandripaka Sy ny fandringanana mangidy; Ary nifim-biby no hampandehaniko aminy Jesorona dia anaran’ ny Isiraely. Mbamin’ ny poizin’ ny biby mpikisaka amin’ ny vovoka.
They will waste away from hunger, destroyed by disease and poisonous plague. I will send wild animals to bite them with their teeth, the fangs of snakes that slide along the ground.
25 Eny ivelany dia ny sabatra no hahafaty ny zanany, Ary ao amin’ ny efi-trano dia ny fampahatahorana Na ny zatovolahy na ny zatovovavy, Na ny zaza minono na ny fotsy volo.
Outside in the streets the sword kills their children, inside their homes, they die from fright; young men and young women, children and old people.
26 Fa efa nolazaiko hoe: Hotsofiko hihahaka izy; Hatsahatro ny fahatsiarovana azy tsy ho eo amin’ ny zanak’ olombelona,
I would have told them I was going to cut them to pieces and wipe out even the memory of them;
27 Raha tsy ny fireharehan’ ny fahavalo no natahorako, Andrao diso hevitra ireny mpandrafy azy ireny Ka hanao hoe: Ny tananay no avo; Fa tsy Jehovah tsy akory no nanao izany rehetra izany.
but I didn't want to hear their conquerors jeering, their enemies misunderstanding what had happened and saying, ‘We won all by ourselves, the Lord didn't have anything to do with it.’
28 Fa firenena tsy manan-tsaina izy Sady tsy manam-pahalalana.
Israel is a nation that doesn't think straight; none of them understand anything.
29 Enga anie ka hendry izy mba hahalala izao Ka hahafantatra izay ho farany.
How I wish they were wise, so they could understand it; they would recognize what was going to happen to them.
30 Hataon’ ny irery ahoana no fanenjika ny arivo, Ary hataon’ ny roa lahy ahoana no fampandositra ny iray alina, Raha tsy ny Vatolampiny no efa nivarotra azy, Ary Jehovah no efa nanolotra azy?
How on earth could one man chase after a thousand, or two make ten thousand run away, unless their Rock of protection had sold them, unless the Lord had surrendered them?
31 Fa tsy mba mitovy amin’ ny Vatolampintsika ny vatolampin’ ireny, Na dia izy fahavalontsika aza no hitsara.
The rock they rely on is not like our Rock, as even our enemies admit.
32 Ny tahom-boalobony dia tahom-boalobok’ i Sodoma Ary avy ao amin’ ny sahan’ i Gomora; Ny voalobony dia voaloboka mahafaty, Sady mangidy koa ny sampahony.
But their vine comes from the vine of Sodom, from the fields of Gomorrah. Their grapes are poisonous; they are bitter bunches.
33 Ny divainy dia zava-mahafaty avy amin’ ny dragona, Ary poizina loza avy amin’ ny bibilava.
Their wine is the poison of serpents, deadly snake venom.
34 Moa tsy voatahiry ato amiko va izany Ka voaisy kase ato an-trano firaketako?
I've stored this all up; it's sealed in my vaults.
35 Ahy ny famaliana sy ny fampanodiavana, Raha avy izay hahasolafaka ny tongony; Fa antomotra ny andro hahitany loza, Ary ho avy faingana ny zava-boatendry hanjo azy.
I make sure justice is done, I will repay. The time is coming when they will fall, their day of disaster is approaching, their doom will soon arrive.”
36 Fa Jehovah hanome rariny ny olony Ary hanenina ny amin’ ny mpanompony, Raha hitany fa lany ny heriny, Ka lasa avokoa na ny voahazona, na ny afaka.
The Lord is going to vindicate his people; he will be merciful to his servants when he sees that they have no strength left, and that everyone is gone, whether slave or free.
37 Ary hiteny hoe Izy: Aiza ireo andriamaniny, Dia ny vatolampy izay nialofany,
He'll ask, “What happened to your gods, the rock where your went for protection?
38 Izay nihinana ny saboran’ ny fanatiny Ary nisotro ny divain’ ny fanatitra aidiny? Aoka ireny no hitsangana ka hamonjy anareo Ary ho fierena ho anareo.
Who ate the fat of your sacrifices and drank the wine of your drink offerings? Have them come and help you; have them come and protect you!
39 Fantaro ankehitriny fa Izaho dia Izaho no Izy, Ka tsy misy andriamanitra eto amiko. Izaho no mahafaty sy mahavelona, Ary Izaho no maharatra sy mahasitrana, Ka tsy misy mahafaka amin’ ny tanako.
Listen! I am the only God! There is no other God except me! I bring death, and I give life; I wound, and I heal. No one can be rescued from my power.
40 Fa manangana ny tanako amin’ ny lanitra Aho Ka manao hoe: Raha velona koa Aho mandrakizay:
I hold up my hand to heaven and solemnly declare on my eternal life,
41 Raha manasa ny sabatro manelatselatra Aho, Ka voarain’ ny tanako ny fitsarana, Dia hampanodiaviko ny mpandrafy Ahy ny ataony, Ary hovaliako ny mankahala Ahy.
when I sharpen my shining sword and pick it up to execute judgment, I will repay my enemies and punish those who hate me as they deserve.
42 Hataoko mamon-drà ny zana-tsipikako, Ary ny sabatro hihina-nofo, Dia ny ran’ ny voavono sy ny babo Mbamin’ ny lohan’ izay lehibe amin’ ny fahavalo.
My arrows will become drunk with blood, as my sword eats flesh; the blood of those who are killed and captured, the heads of the enemy's leaders.”
43 Mihobia, ry jentilisa mbamin’ ny olony; Fa ny ran’ ny mpanompony no hovaliany. Hamaly ny mpandrafy Azy Izy, Ary hanao fanavotana kosa ho an’ ny taniny sy ny olony.
Celebrate with him! Let all God's angels worship him! Celebrate, foreigners, with his people; because he will pay back those who killed his children. He will punish his enemies, and repay those who hate him; he will purify his land and his people.
44 Dia nandeha Mosesy ka nilaza ny teny rehetra amin’ izany fihirana izany teo anatrehan’ ny olona, dia izy sy Hosea, zanak’ i Nona.
Then Moses came with Joshua son of Nun and recited all the words of this song for the people to hear.
45 Ary nony efa tapitra voalazan’ i Mosesy tamin’ ny Isiraely rehetra izany teny rehetra izany,
After Moses finished reciting the whole song to all the Israelites,
46 dia hoy izy taminy: Alatsaho ao am-ponareo ny teny rehetra izay ambarako aminareo anio, izay handidianareo ny zanakareo hotandremany sy hankatoaviny, dia ny teny rehetra amin’ ity lalàna ity.
he told them, “Think about all these words I've declared to you today, so you can order your children to follow carefully everything in this law.
47 Fa tsy zava-poana ho anareo izany, fa izany no fiainanareo; ary izany zavatra izany no hahamaro andro anareo eo amin’ ny tany izay efa hidiranareo holovana, rehefa tafita an’ i Jordana ianareo.
Don't treat these words as trivial because they are your life, and by them you will have long lives in the country that you will own after crossing the Jordan.”
48 Ary Jehovah niteny tamin’ i Mosesy androtrizay indrindra ka nanao hoe:
That same day the Lord told Moses,
49 Miakara amin’ ity tendrombohitra Abarima ity, dia ny tendrombohitra Nebo, izay eo amin’ ny tany Moaba tandrifin’ i Jeriko; ary tazano ny tany Kanana, izay omeko ny Zanak’ Isiraely ho lovany.
“Climb up into the Abarim mountains to Mount Nebo, in the land of Moab opposite Jericho, and look over the country of Canaan, which I am giving to the Israelites for them to own.
50 Dia aoka ho faty ao amin’ ny tendrombohitra izay iakaranao ianao, ka ho voangona any amin’ ny razanao, tahaka ny nahafatesan’ i Arona rahalahinao tao an-tendrombohitra Hora sy ny nanangonana azy any amin’ ny razany,
There on the mountain you've climbed, you will die and join your people in death, in the same way your brother Aaron died on Mount Hor and joined his people.
51 satria nivadika tamiko teo amin’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely ianareo tao amin’ ny ranon’ i Meriba any Kadesy, tany an-efitra Zina; fa tsy nahamasina Ahy teo amin’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely ianareo.
For there at the waters of Meribah-kadesh in the Desert of Zin, you both were unfaithful to me. You misrepresented me to the Israelites when you didn't treat me as holy in their presence.
52 Fa hahatazana ny tany eo anoloanao ihany ianao, kanefa tsy hiditra any amin’ ny tany izay omeko ny Zanak’ Isiraely.
Though you will see the country that I am giving the Israelites from a distance, you won't enter it.”
