Deotoronomia 9
1 Mihainoa, ry Isiraely ô: ianao izao dia efa hita an’ i Jordana hiditra eo amin’ ny tany ka handresy firenen-tsamy hafa, izay lehibe sy mahery noho ianao, sy hahafaka tanàna lehibe izay misy manda manakatra ny lanitra,
Hear, Israel! Thou art to pass over the Jordan this day, to enter in to possess nations greater and mightier than thou, cities great and walled up to heaven,
2 dia firenena lehibe sady olona lava, dia taranaky ny Anakita izay fantatrao, sady efa renao ny lazany hoe: Iza no mahajanona eo anoloan’ ny taranak’ i Anàka?
a people great and tall, the sons of the Anakim, whom thou knowest, and of whom thou hast heard [say], Who can stand before the sons of Anak!
3 Koa aoka ho fantatrao anio fa Jehovah Andriamanitrao no efa handeha hita eo alohanao tahaka ny afo mandevona, ka Izy no handringana azy sy hampietry azy eo anoloanao; dia handroaka azy ianao ka handringana azy faingana, araka izay nolazain’ i Jehovah taminao.
Know then this day, that Jehovah thy God is he that goeth over before thee, a consuming fire; he will destroy them, and he will cast them down before thee, and thou shalt dispossess them and cause them to perish quickly, as Jehovah hath said unto thee.
4 Ary rehefa voaroak’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrao eo anoloanao izy, dia aza manao anakampo hoe: Ny fahamarinako no nitondran’ i Jehovah ahy niditra handova ity tany ity; fa ny haratsiam-panahin’ ireo firenena ireo no androahan’ i Jehovah azy eo anoloanao.
Thou shalt not say in thy heart, when Jehovah thy God thrusteth them out from before thee, saying, For my righteousness Jehovah hath brought me in to possess this land; but for the wickedness of these nations doth Jehovah dispossess them from before thee.
5 Tsy ny fahamarinanao, na ny hitsim-ponao, no andehananao handova ny taniny; fa ny haratsiam-panahin’ ireo firenena ireo no androahan’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrao azy eo anoloanao hahatò ny teny izay nianianan’ i Jehovah tamin’ i Abrahama sy Isaka ary Jakoba razanao.
Not for thy righteousness, or for the uprightness of thy heart, dost thou enter in to possess their land, but for the wickedness of these nations doth Jehovah thy God dispossess them from before thee, and that he may perform the word which Jehovah swore unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.
6 Koa aoka ho fantatrao fa tsy ny fahamarinanao no anomezan’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrao izany tany soa izany ho lovanao; fa firenena mafy hatoka ianao.
Know therefore that Jehovah thy God doth not give thee this good land to possess it for thy righteousness; for thou art a stiff-necked people.
7 Tsarovy ka aza hadinoinao ny nampahatezeranao an’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrao tany an-efitra: eny, hatramin’ ny andro nialanao tany amin’ ny tany Egypta ka hatramin’ ny nahatongavanareo teto amin’ ity tany ity dia mbola niodina tamin’ i Jehovah ihany ianareo.
Remember, forget not, how thou provokedst Jehovah thy God to wrath in the wilderness. From the day that thou didst depart out of the land of Egypt, until ye came to this place, ye have been rebellious against Jehovah.
8 Na dia tany Horeba aza dia nampahatezitra an’ i Jehovah ianareo, dia tezitra taminareo Izy ka saiky nandringana anareo.
And at Horeb ye provoked Jehovah to wrath, and Jehovah was angry with you, to destroy you,
9 Raha niakatra tao an-tendrombohitra aho handray ny vato fisaka, dia ny vato fisaka izay nisy ny fanekena nataon’ i Jehovah taminareo, ka nitoetra efa-polo andro sy efa-polo alina tao an-tendrombohitra sady tsy nihinan-kanina na nisotro rano,
when I went up the mountain to receive the tables of stone, the tables of the covenant which Jehovah made with you, and I abode in the mountain forty days and forty nights, — I ate no bread and drank no water, —
10 dia nomen’ i Jehovah ahy ny vato fisaka roa, voasoratry ny fanondron’ Andriamanitra; ary teo aminy no nisy ilay teny rehetra nolazain’ i Jehovah taminareo tao an-tendrombohitra tao amin’ ny andro nivoriana.
— and Jehovah delivered to me the two tables of stone written with the finger of God; and on them [was written] according to all the words which Jehovah spoke with you on the mountain from the midst of the fire on the day of the assembly.
11 Ary nony tapitra ny efa-polo andro sy efa-polo alina, dia nomen’ i Jehovah ahy ny vato fisaka roa, dia ilay nisy ny fanekena.
And it came to pass at the end of forty days and forty nights, that Jehovah gave me the two tables of stone, the tables of the covenant.
12 Dia hoy Jehovah tamiko: Miaingà, ka midìna faingana hiala etỳ ianao; fa efa nanao ratsy ny olonao izay nentinao nivoaka avy tany Egypta; efa nalaky nivily niala tamin’ ny lalana izay efa nasaiko nalehany izy ka nanao sarin-javatra an-idina ho azy.
And Jehovah said unto me, Arise, go down quickly from hence; for thy people which thou hast brought forth out of Egypt have corrupted themselves; they have quickly turned aside from the way which I commanded them: they have made for themselves a molten image.
13 Ary hoy koa Jehovah tamiko: Efa hitako ity firenena ity, fa, indro, olona mafy hatoka izy.
And Jehovah spoke unto me, saying, I have seen this people, and behold, it is a stiff-necked people.
14 Avelao Aho handringana azy, ka hovonoiko ny anarany tsy ho eny ambanin’ ny lanitra, ary dia hataoko firenena mahery sy lehibe noho izy ianao.
Let me alone, that I may destroy them, and blot out their name from under heaven; and I will make of thee a nation mightier and greater than they.
15 Dia nihodina aho ka nidina niala tamin’ ny tendrombohitra, raha mbola nirehitra afo izy; ary ny vato fisaka roa nisy ny fanekena dia teny an-tanako roa.
And I turned and came down from the mountain, and the mountain burned with fire; and the two tables of the covenant were in my two hands.
16 Ary nijery aho, ka, indro, efa nanota tamin’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrareo ianareo ka nanao ombilahy kely an-idina ho anareo; nalaky nivily ianareo niala tamin’ ny lalana izay efa nasain’ i Jehovah nalehanareo.
And I saw, and behold, ye had sinned against Jehovah your God: ye had made for yourselves a molten calf; ye had quickly turned aside from the way which Jehovah had commanded you.
17 Dia noraisiko ny vato fisaka roa ka nazerako avy teny an-tanako roa ho vakivaky teo imasonareo.
And I seized the two tables, and cast them out of my two hands, and broke them before your eyes.
18 Ary niankohoka teo anatrehan’ i Jehovah efa-polo andro sy efa-polo alina tahaka ilay teo ihany aho ka tsy nihinan-kanina, na nisotro rano, noho ny fahotanareo rehetra, izay nataonareo tamin’ ny nanaovanareo izay ratsy eo imason’ i Jehovah, ka nampahatezeranareo Azy.
And I fell down before Jehovah, as at the first, forty days and forty nights, — I ate no bread and drank no water, — because of all your sin which ye had sinned, in doing what is evil in the eyes of Jehovah, to provoke him to anger.
19 Fa natahotra ny fahavinirana sy ny fahatezerana aho, izay nahatezeran’ i Jehovah taminareo handringanana anareo. Dia nihaino ahy indray Jehovah tamin’ izany andro izany.
For I was afraid of the anger and fury wherewith Jehovah was wroth against you to destroy you. And Jehovah listened unto me also at that time.
20 Ary Jehovah dia tezitra indrindra tamin’ i Arona ka saiky nandevona azy; dia nifona ho an’ i Arona koa aho tamin’ izany andro izany.
And with Aaron Jehovah was very angry to destroy him; and I prayed for Aaron also at the same time.
21 Ary noraisiko ny fahotanareo, dia ilay ombilahy kely izay nataonareo, ka nodorako tamin’ ny afo, dia notorotoroiko sy nomontsamontsaniko mandra-pahatongany ho madinika toy ny vovoka; ary ny vovony dia nariako teo amin’ ny renirano izay midìna avy amin’ ny tendrombohitra.
And I took your sin, the calf which ye had made, and burned it with fire, and crushed it, and ground it very small, until it became fine dust; and I cast the dust thereof into the brook that flowed down from the mountain.
22 Ary tao Tabera sy Masa ary Kibrota-hatava no nampahatezeranareo an’ i Jehovah.
And at Taberah, and at Massah, and at Kibroth-hattaavah, ye provoked Jehovah to wrath.
23 Ary raha nampandehanin’ i Jehovah niala tao Kadesi-barnea ianareo ka nataony hoe: Miakara, ka lovao ny tany izay nomeko anareo, dia nandà ny tenin’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrareo ianareo, fa tsy nihaino Azy, na nino ny feony.
And when Jehovah sent you from Kadesh-barnea, saying, Go up and take possession of the land which I have given you, ye rebelled against the word of Jehovah your God, and ye believed him not, nor hearkened to his voice.
24 Eny, niodina tamin’ i Jehovah ihany ianareo hatramin’ ny andro nahalalako anareo no ho mankaty.
Ye have been rebellious against Jehovah from the day that I knew you.
25 Ary niankohoka teo anatrehan’ i Jehovah aho nandritra izany efa-polo andro sy efa-polo alina izany, satria efa nolazain’ i Jehovah fa handringana anareo Izy.
So I fell down before Jehovah the forty days and forty nights, as I fell down; for Jehovah had said he would destroy you.
26 Dia nifona tamin’ i Jehovah aho ka nanao hoe: Jehovah Tompo ô, aza mandringana ny firenenao sy ny lovanao, izay navotanao tamin’ ny fahalehibiazanao ka nentinao nivoaka avy tany Egypta tamin’ ny tananao mahery.
I prayed therefore to Jehovah, and said, Lord Jehovah, destroy not thy people and thine inheritance, which thou hast redeemed through thy greatness, which thou hast brought forth out of Egypt with a powerful hand.
27 Tsarovy ny mpanomponao, dia Abrahama sy Isaka ary Jakoba; fa aza mijery ny ditran’ ity firenena ity, na ny haratsiam-panahiny, na ny fahotany,
Remember thy servants Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; look not at the stubbornness of this people, nor at their wickedness, nor at their sin;
28 fandrao izay monina amin’ ny tany nitondranao anay nivoaka avy tany hanao hoe: Satria tsy hain’ i Jehovah ny hitondra azy ho any amin’ ny tany izay nolazainy taminy, ary satria nankahala azy Izy, dia izany no nitondrany azy nivoaka hahafaty azy atỳ an-efitra.
lest the land whence thou broughtest us out say, Because Jehovah was not able to bring them into the land which he had promised them, and because he hated them, he hath brought them out to kill them in the wilderness.
29 Kanefa ireo dia firenenao sy lovanao, izay nentinao nivoaka tamin’ ny herinao lehibe sy ny sandrinao nahinjitra.
They are indeed thy people and thine inheritance, which thou broughtest out with thy great power and with thy stretched-out arm.
