Deotoronomia 7
1 Rehefa entin’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrao ianao ka tafiditra any amin’ ny tany izay efa hidiranao holovana, ary firenena maro no voaroakany hiala eo anoloanao, dia ny Hetita sy ny Girgasita sy ny Amorita sy ny Kananita sy ny Perizita sy ny Hivita ary ny Jebosita, dia firenena fito izay lehibe sy mahery noho ianao.
When the Lord thy God shall have brought thee into the land, which thou art going in to possess, and shall have destroyed many nations before thee, the Hethite, and the Gergezite, and the Amorrhite, and the Chanaanite, and the Pherezite, and the Hevite, and the Jebusite, seven nations much more numerous than thou art, and stronger than thou:
2 ary rehefa voatolotr’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrao eo anoloanao ireny ka resinao: dia aringano mihitsy izy; aza manao fanekena aminy, na mamindra fo aminy;
And the Lord thy God shall have delivered them to thee, thou shalt utterly destroy them. Thou shalt make no league with them, nor shew mercy to them:
3 ary aza mifanambady anaka aminy: ny zanakao-vavy tsy homenao ho vadin’ ny zananilahy, ary ny zananivavy tsy halainao ho vadin’ ny zanakao-lahy.
Neither shalt thou make marriages with them. Thou shalt not give thy daughter to his son, nor take his daughter for thy son:
4 Fa hampiala ny zanakao-lahy amin’ ny fanarahana Ahy izy mba hanompoany andriamani-kafa, dia hirehitra aminareo ny fahatezeran’ i Jehovah, ka handrifigana anao vetivety Izy.
For she will turn away thy son from following me, that he may rather serve strange gods, and the wrath of the Lord will be kindled, and will quickly destroy thee.
5 Fa izao kosa no ataovinareo aminy: ny alitarany horavanao, ary ny tsangam-baton-tsampiny hovakivakinao; ny Aserahany hokapainao, ary ny sarin-javatra voasokitra hodoranao amin’ ny afo.
But thus rather shall you deal with them: Destroy their altars, and break their statues, and cut down their groves, and burn their graven things.
6 Fa firenena masìna ho an’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrao ianao; fa ianao efa nofidin’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrao ho firenena rakitra soa ho Azy mihoatra noho ny firenena rehetra ambonin’ ny tany.
Because thou art a holy people to the Lord thy God. The Lord thy God hath chosen thee, to be his peculiar people of all peoples that are upon the earth.
7 Tsy ny hamaroanareo noho ny firenena rehetra anefa no niraiketan’ ny fitiavan’ i Jehovah taminareo sy nifidianany anareo, fa ianareo dia vitsy noho ny firenena rehetra aza;
Not because you surpass all nations in number, is the Lord joined unto you, and hath chosen you, for you are the fewest of any people:
8 fa ny nitiavan’ i Jehovah anareo sy ny nitandremany ny fianianana izay efa nianianany tamin’ ny razanareo no nitondran’ i Jehovah anareo tamin’ ny tanana mahery sy nanavotany anao tamin’ ny trano nahandevozana dia tamin’ ny tànan’ i Farao, mpanjakan’ i Egypta.
But because the Lord hath loved you, and hath kept his oath, which he swore to your fathers: and hath brought you out with a strong hand, and redeemed you from the house of bondage, out of the hand of Pharao the king of Egypt.
9 Koa aoka ho fantatrao fa Jehovah Andriamanitrao ihany no Andriamanitra, dia Andriamanitra mahatoky, Izay mitandrina fanekena sy famindram-po amin’ izay tia Azy sy mitandrina ny didiny, hatramin’ ny taranaka arivo mandimby,
And thou shalt know that the Lord thy God, he is a strong and faithful God, keeping his covenant and mercy to them that love him, and to them that keep his commandments, unto a thousand generations:
10 ary mamaly miharihary izay mandrafy Azy amin’ ny fandringanana azy; tsy hitaredretra Izy ny amin’ izay mandrafy Azy, fa hamaly azy miharihary.
And repaying forthwith them that hate him, so as to destroy them, without further delay immediately rendering to them what they deserve.
11 Koa tandremo ny lalàna sy ny didy ary ny fitsipika, izay andidiako anao anio, ka araho izy.
Keep therefore the precepts and ceremonies and judgments, which I command thee this day to do.
12 Ary raha mihaino ireo fitsipika ireo ianareo ka mitandrina sy manaraka azy, dia hotanterahin’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrao aminao ny fanekena sy ny famindram-po, izay nianianany tamin’ ny razanao;
If after thou hast heard these judgments, thou keep and do them, the Lord thy God will also keep his covenant to thee, and the mercy which he swore to thy fathers:
13 dia ho tia anao sy hitahy anao ary hahamaro anao Izy; ary Izy hitahy ny ateraky ny kibonao sy ny vokatry ny taninao, dia ny varinao sy ny ranom-boalobokao sy ny diloilonao, ary ny ateraky ny ombinao sy ny ateraky ny ondry aman’ osinao any amin’ ny tany izay nianianany tamin’ ny razanao homena anao.
And he will love thee and multiply thee, and will bless the fruit of thy womb, and the fruit of thy land, thy corn, and thy vintage, thy oil, and thy herds, and the flocks of thy sheep upon the land, for which he swore to thy fathers that he would give it thee.
14 Hotahina ianao mihoatra noho ny firenena rehetra; tsy hisy lahy na vavy tsy hiteraka, na ianareo na ny biby fiompinareo.
Blessed shalt thou be among all people. No one shall be barren among you of either sex, neither of men nor cattle.
15 Ary harovan’ i Jehovah tsy ho azon’ aretina ianao, ka tsy hisy hameliny anao ny aretin-dratsin’ i Egypta, izay fantatrao; fa hataony amin’ izay rehetra mankahala anao kosa ireny.
The Lord will take away from thee all sickness: and the grievous infirmities of Egypt, which thou knowest, he will not bring upon thee, but upon thy enemies.
16 Ary aoka holaninao ny firenena rehetra, izay hatolotr’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrao anao, ka aoka tsy hiantra azy ny masonao; ary aza manompo ny andriamaniny, fa ho fandrika aminao ireny.
Thou shalt consume all the people, which the Lord thy God will deliver to thee. Thy eye shall not spare them, neither shalt thou serve their gods, lest they be thy ruin.
17 Raha ianao hanao anakampo hoe: Maro noho izaho ireo firenena ireo, ka hataoko ahoana no fahay mandroaka azy?
If thou say in thy heart: These nations are more than I, how shall I be able to destroy them?
18 dia aza matahotra azy ianao; fa tsarovy tsara izay nataon’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrao tamin’ i Farao sy ny Egyptiana rehetra,
Fear not, but remember what the Lord thy God did to Pharao and to all the Egyptians,
19 dia ny fizahan-toetra lehibe, izay efa hitan’ ny masonao, sy ny famantarana sy ny fahagagana sy ny tanana mahery ary ny sandry nahinjitra, izay nitondran’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrao anao nivoaka; fa toy izany no hataon’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrao amin’ ny firenena rehetra izay atahoranao.
The exceeding great plagues, which thy eyes saw, and the signs and wonders, and the strong hand, and the stretched out arm, with which the Lord thy God brought thee out: so will he do to all the people, whom thou fearest.
20 Ary ny fanenitra koa dia hampandehanin’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrao ho eo aminy mandra-paharingan’ izay sisa sy izay efa niery ka tsy hitanao.
Moreover the Lord thy God will send also hornets among them, until he destroy and consume all that have escaped thee, and could hide themselves.
21 Aza matahotra azy ianao; fa Jehovah Andriamanitrao no eo aminao, dia Andriamanitra lehibe sy mahatahotra.
Thou shalt not fear them, because the Lord thy God is in the midst of thee, a God mighty and terrible:
22 Ary horoahin’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrao eo alohanao tsikelikely ireny firenena ireny; tsy haharoaka azy faingana ianao, fandrao hihamaro ny bibi-dia ka hamely anao.
He will consume these nations in thy sight by little and little and by degrees. Thou wilt not be able to destroy them altogether: lest perhaps the beasts of the earth should increase upon thee.
23 Fa hatolotr’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrao eo anoloanao izy ka hataony mifanaritaka be ihany mandra-pahalany ritrany.
But the Lord thy God shall deliver them in thy sight: and shall slay them until they be utterly destroyed.
24 Dia hatolony eo an-tananao koa ny mpanjakany, ka ho foananao tsy ho re intsony atỳ ambanin’ ny lanitra ny anarany; tsy hisy olona hahajanona eo anoloanao, fa haringanao avokoa izy mandra-pahalaniny.
And he shall deliver their kings into thy hands, and thou shalt destroy their names from under Heaven: no man shall be able to resist thee, until thou destroy them.
25 Ny sarin-javatra voasokitra, izay andriamaniny, dia hodoranareo amin’ ny afo; aza mitsiriritra ny volafotsy na ny volamena izay eo aminy, na maka izany ho anao, fandrao ho voafandriny ianao, fa fahavetavetana eo imason’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrao izany.
Their graven things thou shalt burn with fire: thou shalt not covet the silver and gold of which they are made, neither shalt thou take to thee any thing thereof, lest thou offend, because it is an abomination to the Lord thy God.
26 Ary aza mitondra fahavetavetana ho ao an-tranonao, fandrao ho voaozona tahaka izany koa ianao; ho halanao sy ho fahavetavetana eo imasonao indrindra izany, fa zavatra voaozona.
Neither shalt thou bring any thing of the idol into thy house, lest thou become an anathema, like it. Thou shalt detest it as dung, and shalt utterly abhor it as uncleanness and filth, because it is an anathema.
