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 bring thee into the land whither thou goest to possess it, and hath cast out many nations before thee, the Hittites, and the Girgashites, and the Amorites, and the Canaanites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, seven nations greater and mightier 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 when the LORD thy God shall deliver them before thee; thou shalt smite them, [and] utterly destroy them; thou shalt make no covenant with them, nor shew mercy unto 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; thy daughter thou shalt not give unto his son, nor his daughter shalt thou take unto 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 they will turn away thy son from following me, that they may serve other gods: so will the anger of the LORD be kindled against you, and destroy thee suddenly.
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 shall ye deal with them; ye shall destroy their altars, and break down their images, and cut down their groves, and burn their graven images with fire.
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.
For thou [art] an holy people unto the LORD thy God: the LORD thy God hath chosen thee to be a special people unto himself, above all people that [are] upon the face of 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;
The LORD did not set his love upon you, nor choose you, because ye were more in number than any people; for ye [were] the fewest of all 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 loved you, and because he would keep the oath which he had sworn unto your fathers, hath the LORD brought you out with a mighty hand, and redeemed you out of the house of bondmen, from the hand of Pharaoh 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,
Know therefore that the LORD thy God, he [is] God, the faithful God, which keepeth covenant and mercy with them that love him and keep his commandments to 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 repayeth them that hate him to their face, to destroy them: he will not be slack to him that hateth him, he will repay him to his face.
11 Koa tandremo ny lalàna sy ny didy ary ny fitsipika, izay andidiako anao anio, ka araho izy.
Thou shalt therefore keep the commandments, and the statutes, and the judgments, which I command thee this day, to do them.
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;
Wherefore it shall come to pass, if ye hearken to these judgments, and keep, and do them, that the LORD thy God shall keep unto thee the covenant and the mercy which he sware unto 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 bless thee, and multiply thee: he will also bless the fruit of thy womb, and the fruit of thy land, thy corn, and thy wine, and thine oil, the increase of thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep, in the land which he sware unto thy fathers to give thee.
14 Hotahina ianao mihoatra noho ny firenena rehetra; tsy hisy lahy na vavy tsy hiteraka, na ianareo na ny biby fiompinareo.
Thou shalt be blessed above all people: there shall not be male or female barren among you, or among your 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.
And the LORD will take away from thee all sickness, and will put none of the evil diseases of Egypt, which thou knowest, upon thee; but will lay them upon all [them] that hate thee.
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.
And thou shalt consume all the people which the LORD thy God shall deliver thee; thine eye shall have no pity upon them: neither shalt thou serve their gods; for that [will be] a snare unto thee.
17 Raha ianao hanao anakampo hoe: Maro noho izaho ireo firenena ireo, ka hataoko ahoana no fahay mandroaka azy?
If thou shalt say in thine heart, These nations [are] more than I; how can I dispossess them?
18 dia aza matahotra azy ianao; fa tsarovy tsara izay nataon’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrao tamin’ i Farao sy ny Egyptiana rehetra,
Thou shalt not be afraid of them: [but] shalt well remember what the LORD thy God did unto Pharaoh, and unto all Egypt;
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 great temptations which thine eyes saw, and the signs, and the wonders, and the mighty hand, and the stretched out arm, whereby the LORD thy God brought thee out: so shall the LORD thy God do unto all the people of whom thou art afraid.
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 the hornet among them, until they that are left, and hide themselves from thee, be destroyed.
21 Aza matahotra azy ianao; fa Jehovah Andriamanitrao no eo aminao, dia Andriamanitra lehibe sy mahatahotra.
Thou shalt not be affrighted at them: for the LORD thy God [is] among you, a mighty God 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.
And the LORD thy God will put out those nations before thee by little and little: thou mayest not consume them at once, lest the beasts of the field 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 unto thee, and shall destroy them with a mighty destruction, until they be 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 thine hand, and thou shalt destroy their name from under heaven: there shall no man be able to stand before thee, until thou have destroyed 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.
The graven images of their gods shall ye burn with fire: thou shalt not desire the silver or gold [that is] on them, nor take [it] unto thee, lest thou be snared therein: for 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 an abomination into thine house, lest thou be a cursed thing like it: [but] thou shalt utterly detest it, and thou shalt utterly abhor it; for it [is] a cursed thing.
