Deotoronomia 8
1 Ny lalàna rehetra izay andidiako anao anio dia tandremo harahinareo, mba ho velona ianareo ka hihamaro ary hiditra sady handova ny tany izay nianianan’ i Jehovah tamin’ ny razanareo homena azy.
All the commandment which I command thee this day shall ye observe to do; in order that ye may live, and multiply, and go in and take possession of the land which the Lord hath sworn unto your fathers.
2 Ary tsarovy ny lalana rehetra izay nitondran’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrao anao tany an-efitra izao efa-polo taona izao, hampanetry tena anao sy hizaha toetra anao ary hahalala izay ao am-ponao, na hitandrina ny didiny ianao, na tsia.
And thou shalt remember all the way which the Lord thy God hath led thee these forty years in the wilderness, in order to afflict thee, to prove thee, to know what is in thy heart, whether thou wouldst keep his commandments, or not.
3 Dia nampanetry tena anao Izy ka namela anao ho noana, dia nanome anao ny mana hohaninao, izay tsy fantatrao na ny razanao, hampahafantarany anao fa tsy mofo ihany no iveloman’ ny olona; fa izay rehetra aloaky ny vavan’ i Jehovah no iveloman’ ny olona.
And he afflicted thee, and suffered thee to hunger, and he gave thee manna to eat, which thou knewest not, and which thy fathers had not known; in order that he might make thee know that not by bread alone man doth live, but by every thing that proceedeth out of the mouth of the Lord doth man live.
4 Ny fitafianao teny aminao tsy rovitra, ary ny tongotrao tsy nivonto izao efa-polo taona izao.
Thy garment did not fall worn out from thee, and thy foot did not swell, these forty years.
5 Koa aoka ho fantatrao amin’ ny fonao, fa tahaka ny fananaran’ ny olona ny zanany no fananaran’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrao anao.
And thou shalt consider in thy heart, that, as a man chasteneth his son, so doth the Lord thy God chasten thee.
6 Ary tandremo ny didin’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrao, mba handehananao amin’ ny lalany sy hatahoranao Azy.
And thou shalt keep the commandments of the Lord thy God, to walk in his ways, and to fear him.
7 Fa Jehovah Andriamanitrao efa hampiditra anao any amin’ ny tany soa, dia tany misy renirano sy loharano ary rano lalina eny amin’ ny lohasaha sy ny tendrombohitra,
For the Lord thy God bringeth thee into a good land, a land of brooks of water, of fountains and depths that spring out of valleys and mountains;
8 tany misy vary tritika sy vary hordea sy voaloboka sy aviavy ary ampongabendanitra, tany misy hazo oliva sy tantely,
A land of wheat, and barley, and of the vine, and the fig-tree, and the pomegranate; a land of the oil-olive, and of honey;
9 tany izay hihinananao hanina amin’ ny fanaranam-po, sady tsy hanan-java-mahory akory eo ianao, tany misy vy ny vato ao aminy, ary ao amin’ ny tendrombohiny no hihadianao varahina.
A land wherein thou shalt eat bread without scarceness, wherein thou shalt not lack anything; a land the stones whereof are iron, and out of the mountains of which thou canst hew copper.
10 Ary rehefa nihinana ianao ka voky ary misaotra an’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrao noho ny tany soa izay nomeny anao,
And when thou hast eaten and art satisfied, then shalt thou bless the Lord thy God for the good land which he hath given thee.
11 dia mitandrema, fandrao hadinoinao Jehovah Andriamanitrao, ka tsy tandremanao ny didiny sy ny fitsipiny ary ny lalàny, izay andidiako anao anio;
Take heed unto thyself that thou forget not the Lord thy God, so as not to keep his commandments, and his ordinances, and his statutes, which I command thee this day;
12 fandrao, rehefa nihinana ianao ka voky ary nanao trano tsara ka mitoetra ao,
That when thou hast eaten and art satisfied, and hast built goodly houses, and dwelt therein;
13 ary mihamaro ny ombinao sy ny ondry aman’ osinao, ary mitombo koa ny volafotsinao sy ny volamenanao, ary mitombo ny fanananao rehetra,
And when thy herds and thy flocks multiply, and thy silver and thy gold are multiplied, and all that thou hast is multiplied:
14 dia hiavonavona ny fonao, ka hohadinoinao Jehovah Andriamanitrao, Izay nitondra anao nivoaka avy tany amin’ ny tany Egypta, tamin’ ny trano nahandevozana,
Thy heart be then not lifted up, and thou forget the Lord thy God, who hath brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt, from the house of slavery;
15 Izay nitondra anao tany amin’ ny efitra lehibe sady mahatahotra, izay misy menaran’ afo sy maingoka, dia ny tany mangentana tsy misy rano, ary nampivoaka rano ho anao avy tamin’ ny vatolampy afovato,
Who hath led thee through the great and terrible wilderness, wherein are snakes, poisonous serpents, and scorpions, and drought, where there is no water; who hath brought forth for thee water out of the flinty rock;
16 Izay nanome anao mana hohanina tany an-efitra, dia zavatra tsy fantatry ny razanao, mba hampanetry tena anao sy hizaha toetra anao ary hanisy soa anao any am-parany;
Who hath fed thee in the wilderness with manna, which thy fathers knew not; in order to afflict thee, and in order to prove thee, to do thee good at thy latter end;
17 ary andrao ianao hanao anakampo hoe: Ny tanjako sy ny herin’ ny tanako no nahavoriako izao harena izao;
And thou say in thy heart, My power and the strength of my hand have gotten me this wealth.
18 fa tsarovy Jehovah Andriamanitrao, fa Izy no manome anao hery hahavory harena, mba haoriny ny fanekeny, izay nianianany tamin’ ny razanao, tahaka ny amin’ izao anio izao.
But thou shalt remember the Lord thy God; for it is he that giveth thee power to get wealth; in order that he might fulfill his covenant which he hath sworn unto thy fathers, as it is this day.
19 Fa raha manadino an’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrao mihitsy ianao ka manaraka izay andriamani-kafa sady manompo azy sy miankohoka eo anatrehany, dia milaza aminareo marimarina aho fa haringana tokoa ianareo:
And it shall come to pass, that, if thou shouldst forget the Lord thy God, and walk after other gods, and serve them, and bow thyself down to them, I testify against you this day that ye shall surely perish;
20 tahaka ny andringanana ny firenen-tsamy hafa, izay aringan’ i Jehovah eo anoloanareo, no handringanana anareo, satria tsy nihaino ny feon’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrareo ianareo.
Like the nations which the Lord destroyeth from before you, so shall ye perish; in recompense of that ye would not hearken unto the voice of the Lord your God.
