Deotoronomia 6

1 Ary izao no lalàna, dia ny didy sy ny fitsipika, izay nasain’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrareo hampianarina anareo mba harahinareo any amin’ ny tany izay alehanareo holovana,

Now these are the commandments, statutes, and decrees that Yahweh your God has commanded me to teach you, so that you might keep them in the land that you are going over the Jordan to possess;

2 mba hatahoranao an’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrao, hitandremanao ny lalàny rehetra sy ny didiny izay andidiako anao, dia ianao sy ny zanakao ary ny zafinao, amin’ ny andro rehetra hiainanao, mba ho maro andro ianao.

so that you might honor Yahweh your God, so as to keep all his statutes and commandments that I am commanding you—you, your sons, and your sons' sons, all the days of your lives, so that your days may be prolonged.

3 Koa mihainoa, ry Isiraely, ka mitandrema hanaraka izany, mba hahita soa ianao, ary mba hitomboanareo indrindra, araka izay nolazain’ i Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny razanao, taminao, dia any amin’ ny tany tondra-dronono sy tantely.

Therefore listen to them, Israel, and keep them, so that it may go well with you, so that you may greatly multiply, in a land flowing with milk and honey, as Yahweh, the God of your fathers, has promised you would do.

4 Mihainoa, ry Isiraely: Jehovah Andriamanitsika dia Jehovah iray ihany.

Listen, Israel: Yahweh our God is one.

5 Ary tiava an’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrao amin’ ny fonao rehetra sy ny fanahinao rehetra ary ny herinao rehetra.

You will love Yahweh your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your might.

6 Ary aoka ho ao am-ponao izao teny andidiako anao anio izao.

The words that I am commanding you today will be in your heart;

7 Dia ampianaro tsara ny zanakao izany, ary resaho, na mipetraka ao an-tranonao ianao, na mandeha any an-dalana, na mandry, na mifoha;

and you will diligently teach them to your children; you will talk about them when you sit in your house, when you walk on the road, when you lie down, and when you get up.

8 ary fehezo ho famantarana eo amin’ ny tananao ireny, ary aoka ho fehy fampahatsiarovana eo ambonin’ ny handrinao,

You will tie them as a sign upon your hand, and they will serve as frontlets between your eyes.

9 ary soraty eo amin’ ny tolam-baravaran’ ny tranonao sy eo amin’ ny vavahadinao.

You will write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates.

10 Ary rehefa entin’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrao ianao ho any amin’ ny tany izay nianianany tamin’ i Abrahama sy Isaka ary Jakoba razanao homena anao, dia tany misy tanàna lehibe sady tsara, izay tsy nataonao,

When Yahweh your God brings you into the land that he swore to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, that he would give you, with large and very good cities that you did not build,

11 sy trano feno zava-tsoa rehetra, izay tsy nofenoinao, sy lavaka famorian-drano voalavaka eo amin’ ny vato, izay tsy nolavahanao, sy tany voavoly voaloboka sy hazo oliva, izay tsy nambolenao, ary mihinana ianao ka voky,

and houses full of all kinds of good things that you did not make, cisterns that you did not dig, and vineyards and olive trees that you did not plant, you will eat and be satisfied—

12 dia mitandrema fandrao hadinoinao Jehovah, Izay nitondra anao nivoaka avy tany amin’ ny tany Egypta, tamin’ ny trano nahandevozana.

then be careful so that you do not forget Yahweh, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.

13 Matahora an’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrao ianao, ka manompoa Azy, ary aoka ny anarany no hianiananao.

You will honor Yahweh your God; him you will worship, and you will swear by his name.

14 Aza manaraka izay andriamani-kafa amin’ ireny andriamanitry ny firenena manodidina anareo,

You will not go after other gods, the gods of the peoples who are all around you—

15 fa Andriamanitra saro-piaro eo aminao Jehovah Andriamanitrao, fandrao hirehitra aminao ny fahatezeran’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrao, ka hofongorany tsy ho eo ambonin’ ny tany ianao.

for Yahweh your God in the midst of you is a jealous God—if you do, the anger of Yahweh your God will be kindled against you and he will destroy you from the surface of the earth.

16 Aza maka fanahy an’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrareo ianareo, tahaka ilay nakanareo fanahy Azy tao Masa.

You will not test Yahweh your God as you tested him at Massah.

17 Tandremo tsara ny didin’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrareo sy ny teni-vavolombelony ary ny lalàny, izay efa nandidiany anao.

You will diligently keep the commandments of Yahweh your God, his solemn commands, and his statutes, that he has commanded you.

18 Ary ataovy izay mahitsy sady tsara eo imason’ i Jehovah, mba hahita soa ianao ary mba hidiranao handova ny tany soa izay nianianan’ i Jehovah tamin’ ny razanao homena azy,

You will do what is right and good in the sight of Yahweh, that it may go well with you, and that you may go in and possess the good land that Yahweh swore to your fathers,

19 ary mba horoahiny tsy ho eo anoloanao ny fahavalonao rehetra, araka izay nolazain’ i Jehovah.

to drive out all your enemies from before you, as Yahweh has said.

20 Ary raha manontany anao ny zanakao amin’ ny andro ho avy ka manao hoe: Manao ahoana moa ny teni-vavolombelona sy ny didy ary ny fitsipika, izay efa nandidian’ i Jehovah Andriamanitsika anareo?

When your son asks you in time to come, saying, 'What are the covenant decrees, the statutes, and the other decrees that Yahweh our God commanded you?'

21 Dia holazainao aminy hoe: Andevon’ i Farao tany Egypta isika, ary tanana mahery no nitondran’ i Jehovah antsika nivoaka avy tany Egypta.

then you will say to your son, 'We were Pharaoh's slaves in Egypt; Yahweh brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand,

22 Ary Jehovah nanao famantarana sy fahagagana lehibe sady mandoza tamin’ ny Egyptiana sy Farao ary ny ankohonany teo imasontsika.

and he displayed signs and wonders, great and severe, on Egypt, on Pharaoh, and on all his house, before our eyes;

23 Ary nitondra antsika nivoaka avy tany Izy hampidirany antsika mba homeny antsika ny tany izay nianianany tamin’ ny razantsika homena azy.

and he brought us out from there, so that he might bring us in, to give us the land that he swore to our fathers.

24 Ary Jehovah nandidy antsika hanaraka ireo didy rehetra ireo sy hatahotra an’ i Jehovah Andriamanitsika, mba hahita soa mandrakariva isika sy ho velona tahaka ny amin’ izao anio izao.

Yahweh commanded us to always keep all these statutes, to fear Yahweh our God for our good, so that he might keep us alive, as we are today.

25 Ary ho fahamarinantsika ny mitandrina hanaraka izany didy rehetra izany eo anatrehan’ i Jehovah Andriamanitsika, araka izay efa nandidiany antsika.

If we keep all these commands before Yahweh our God, as he has commanded us, this will be our righteousness.'
