Deotoronomia 33
1 Ary izao no tso-drano nataon’ i Mosesy, lehilahin’ Andriamanitra, tamin’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely, rehefa nadiva ho faty izy.
The following is the blessing that Moses the man of God gave to the Israelites before he died.
2 Hoy izy: Jehovah avy tao Sinay, Ary niseho taminy avy tany Seïra; Niposaka namirapiratra avy tany an-tendrombohitra Parana Izy; Ary avy tao amin’ ny masiny tsy omby alinalina; Ary teo ankavanany nisy lalàn’ afo ho an’ ireo.
He said, The Lord came from Mount Sinai and shone on us from Mount Seir; he blazed out from Mount Paran coming with ten thousand of holy ones, holding flaming fire at his right hand.
3 Eny, tia ireo firenena Izy; Eo an-tananao avokoa ny masiny rehetra; Miandry eo anilan’ ny tongotrao ireo Ka samy mandray amin’ ny teninao.
How much you love the people; you hold all the holy ones in your hand. They sit down at your feet to listen to your words:
4 Lalàna no nandidian’ i Mosesy antsika Ho lovan’ ny fiangonan’ i Jakoba.
the law that Moses delivered to us that belongs to all the Israelites.
5 Ary tonga mpanjakan’ i Jesorona Izy, Rehefa tafangona ny lehiben’ ny vahoaka Sy ny firenen’ Isiraely rehetra.
The Lord became King in Israel when the people's leaders gathered, when the tribes of Israel assembled.
6 Aoka ho velona ROBENA, fa tsy ho faty, Nefa aoka ho vitsy olona izy.
To Reuben he said, “May he live and not die, but may he only have a few men.”
7 Ary ny amin’ i JODA dia izao, hoy izy: Jehovah ô, mihainoa ny feon’ i Joda, Ka ento ho amin’ ny olony izy. Ny tanany no hiadiany ho azy, Ka manampia azy Hianao hamelezany ny mpandrafy azy.
To Judah he said: “Lord, please hear the cry of Judah and reunite him with his people. Even though he fights for himself, may you help him against his enemies.”
8 Ary ny amin’ i LEVY dia hoy izy: Ny Tomimanao sy ny Orimanao dia amin’ ny olonao masìna. Izay nizahanao toetra tao Masa Sy nifamalianao tao amin’ ny ranon’ i Meriba,
To Levi he said: “Your Thummim were given to Levi and your Urim to those dedicated to God, the ones you tested at Massah and argued with at the waters of Meribah.
9 Izay nilaza ny rainy sy ny reniny hoe: Tsy mahita azy aho, Sady tsy nahalala izay rahalahiny izy, Ary izay zanany aza dia tsy fantany; Fa nitandrina ny teninao izy Ka nitana ny fanekenao.
Levi said that he didn't pay attention to his father and mother, that he didn't acknowledge his brothers, and that he didn't recognize his children. The Levites did what you said and kept your agreement.
10 Jakoba no hampianariny ny fitsipikao, Ary Isiraely ny lalànao; Hametraka ditin-kazo manitra eo anatrehanao’ izy Sy fanatitra dorana eo ambonin’ ny alitaranao.
They will teach your regulations to Jacob and your law to Israel. They will place incense before you, and sacrifice whole burnt offerings on your altar.
11 Jehovah ô, tahio ny heriny, Ary aoka ho sitrakao ny asan’ ny tànany; Asio mafy ny valahan’ izay mitsangana hiady aminy, Ka aoka tsy hiarina intsony izay mankahala azy.
Lord, please bless what they have, and accept their service for you. Destroy those who attack them; make sure their enemies never rise again.”
12 Ary ny amin’ i BENJAMINA dia hoy izy: Ny malalan’ i Jehovah honina fahizay eo aminy, Dia halofany mandrakariva, Ary hobabeny eo an-damosiny.
To Benjamin he said: “May the one the Lord loves be kept safe and secure in the Lord. The Lord always protects him, letting him rest on his shoulders.”
13 Ary ny amin’ i JOSEFA dia hoy izy: Hotahin’ i Jehovah anie ny taniny Amin’ ny zava-tsoan’ ny lanitra, dia amin’ ny ando, Ary amin’ ny rano lalina mamitsaka any ambany,
To Joseph he said: “May the Lord bless his land with the best gifts of heaven—with the dew and water from the depths below;
14 Ary amin’ ny zava-tsoa vokatry ny masoandro Sy ny voan-javatra soa vokatry ny volana,
with the best crops ripened by the sun and the best produce of the seasons;
15 Ary amin’ ny zava-malaza avy amin’ ny tendrombohitra fahagola Sy ny zava-tsoa avy amin’ ny havoana mandrakizay
with the finest contributions of the ancient mountains and the best materials of the everlasting hills;
16 Mbamin’ ny zava-tsoan’ ny tany sy izay rehetra eo aminy Sy ny fankasitrahan’ Izay nitoetra tao amin’ ilay roimemy; Ary aoka ho tonga eo an-dohan’ i Josefa izany, Dia eo an-tampon-dohan’ ilay nalaza tamin’ ny rahalahiny.
with the best gifts of the land and everything in it, along with the appreciation of the one who was in the burning bush. May these blessings rest on the head of Joseph like a crown for this prince among his brothers.
17 Ny voalohan-teraky ny ombiny dia malaza, Tandrok’ ombimanga ny tandrony; Izany no hanotoany ny firenena rehetra, Dia ny faran’ ny tany; Ireo no alinalin’ i Efraima Sy arivoarivon’ i Manase.
He is as majestic as a firstborn bull; his horns are like those of a wild ox. He will use them to gore the nations, driving them to the ends of the earth. The horns represent the ten thousands of Ephraim, and the thousands of Manasseh.”
18 Ary ny amin’ i ZEBOLONA dia hoy izy: Mifalia, ry Zebolona, amin’ izay alehanao, Ary ianao, ry ISAKARA, ao an-dainao.
To Zebulun he said: “Celebrate, Zebulun, in your travels and Issachar, in your tents.
19 Firenena no antsoiny hankao an-tendrombohitra, Ary ao no hamonoany zavatra ho fanati-pahamarinana; Fa hitsentsitra ny haren’ ny ranomasina izy Sy ny zava-tsoa miafina ao amin’ ny fasika.
They will summon the peoples to a mountain; will offer the appropriate sacrifices there. They will enjoy the rich produce of the seas and from trading on the seashores.”
20 Ary ny amin’ i GADA dia hoy Izy; Isaorana anie Izay manome malalaka ho an’ i Gada; Mamitsaka tahaka ny liom-bavy izy Ka mamiravira ny sandry mbamin’ ny tampon-doha.
To Gad he said: “Blessed is he who makes Gad's territory larger! Gad is like a lion lying in wait, ready to rip off an arm or a head.
21 Nizaha izay tsara indrindra ho an’ ny tenany izy, Fa teo ny anaran’ ny mpanao lalàna no efa voatokana. Niaraka tamin’ ny lohan’ ny firenena izy, Ary araka ny fahamarinan’ i Jehovah ny nataony, Sy araka ny fitsipiny izay iombonany amin’ ny Isiraely.
He chose the best land for himself, for he was allocated a ruler's share. He met with the people's leaders; he did what the Lord said was right, following the Lord's regulations for Israel.”
22 Ary ny amin’ i DANA dia hoy izy: Dana dia zana-diona; Miantsampy avy ao Basana izy.
To Dan he said: “Dan is a young lion that leaps out of Bashan.”
23 Ary ny amin’ i NAFTALY dia hoy izy: Ry Naftaly, voky fankasitrahana Ka feno ny fitahian’ i Jehovah, Mandovà ny andrefana sy ny atsimo anie ianao.
To Naphtali he said: “Naphtali is really favored, full of the Lord's blessing. He shall take over the land to the west and south.”
24 Ary ny amin’ i ASERA dia hoy izy: Aoka hotahina mihoatra noho ny zaza maro Asera, Ary hankasitrahana mihoatra noho ny rahalahiny izy Ka hanoboka ny tongony amin’ ny diloilo.
To Asher he said: “May Asher be blessed more than all the other sons; may he be favored above his brothers and bathe his feet in olive oil.
25 Ho vy sy varahina ny hidinao; Ary hifamatra amin’ ny andronao ny fiadananao.
May the bolts of your gate be strong as iron and bronze, and may you be strong all your life.”
26 Ry Jesorona, tsy misy tahaka an’ Andriamanitra, Izay mitaingina ny lanitra hamonjy anao, Sady mandia ny rahona amin’ ny voninahiny.
There is no one like the God of Israel, who rides across the heavens to come to help you; who rides the clouds in majesty.
27 Ny Andriamanitra hatrizay hatrizay no fonenana, Ary ny sandry mandrakizay no eto ambany. Mandroaka ny fahavalo eo anoloanao Izy Ka manao hoe: Aringano.
The eternal God is your home, and he holds you up with his everlasting arms. He drives out the enemy ahead of you, and gives the order, “Destroy him!”
28 Ary mandry fahizay Isiraely, Mitokana irery ny loharanon’ i Jakoba Ao amin’ ny tany be vary sy ranom-boaloboka, Eny, mampilatsaka ando ny lanitra eo amboniny.
As a result Israel lives in peace; Jacob has no trouble in a country of grain and new wine, where the heavens drip with dew.
29 Sambatra ianao, ry Isiraely; Iza no tahaka anao, ry olona voavonjin’ i Jehovah, Ampingan’ ny famonjena anao sy sabatry ny voninahitrao! Hikoy anao ny fahavalonao. Ary ianao handia ny fitoerany avo.
How blessed you are, Israel! Is there anyone like you, a people saved by the Lord? He is the shield that protects you, the sword that gives you confidence. Your enemies will tremble before you, and you shall tread them underfoot.
