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, O Israel: Thou [art] to pass over Jordan this day, to go in to possess nations greater and mightier than thyself, cities great and fenced 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 children of the Anakims, whom thou knowest, and [of whom] thou hast heard [say], Who can stand before the children 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.
Understand therefore this day, that the LORD thy God [is] he which goeth over before thee; [as] a consuming fire he shall destroy them, and he shall bring them down before thy face: so shalt thou drive them out, and destroy them quickly, as the LORD 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.
Speak not thou in thine heart, after that the LORD thy God hath cast them out from before thee, saying, For my righteousness the LORD hath brought me in to possess this land: but for the wickedness of these nations the LORD doth drive them out 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 thine heart, dost thou go to possess their land: but for the wickedness of these nations the LORD thy God doth drive them out from before thee, and that he may perform the word which the LORD sware unto thy fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and 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.
Understand therefore, that the LORD thy God giveth thee not this good land to possess it for thy righteousness; for thou [art] a stiffnecked 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, [and] forget not, how thou provokedst the LORD thy God to wrath in the wilderness: from the day that thou didst depart out of the land of Egypt, until ye came unto this place, ye have been rebellious against the LORD.
8 Na dia tany Horeba aza dia nampahatezitra an’ i Jehovah ianareo, dia tezitra taminareo Izy ka saiky nandringana anareo.
Also in Horeb ye provoked the LORD to wrath, so that the LORD was angry with you to have destroyed 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 was gone up into the mount to receive the tables of stone, [even] the tables of the covenant which the LORD made with you, then I abode in the mount forty days and forty nights, I neither did eat bread nor drink 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 the LORD delivered unto me two tables of stone written with the finger of God; and on them [was written] according to all the words, which the LORD spake with you in the mount out of the midst of the fire in 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] the LORD gave me the two tables of stone, [even] 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 the LORD said unto me, Arise, get thee down quickly from hence; for thy people which thou hast brought forth out of Egypt have corrupted [themselves; ] they are quickly turned aside out of the way which I commanded them; they have made them a molten image.
13 Ary hoy koa Jehovah tamiko: Efa hitako ity firenena ity, fa, indro, olona mafy hatoka izy.
Furthermore the LORD spake unto me, saying, I have seen this people, and, behold, it [is] a stiffnecked 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.
So I turned and came down from the mount, and the mount 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 looked, and, behold, ye had sinned against the LORD your God, [and] had made you a molten calf: ye had turned aside quickly out of the way which the LORD had commanded you.
17 Dia noraisiko ny vato fisaka roa ka nazerako avy teny an-tanako roa ho vakivaky teo imasonareo.
And I took the two tables, and cast them out of my two hands, and brake 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 the LORD, as at the first, forty days and forty nights: I did neither eat bread, nor drink water, because of all your sins which ye sinned, in doing wickedly in the sight of the LORD, 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 hot displeasure, wherewith the LORD was wroth against you to destroy you. But the LORD hearkened unto me at that time also.
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 the LORD was very angry with Aaron to have destroyed him: and I prayed for Aaron also 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 burnt it with fire, and stamped it, [and] ground [it] very small, [even] until it was as small as dust: and I cast the dust thereof into the brook that descended out of the mount.
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 the LORD 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.
Likewise when the LORD sent you from Kadesh-barnea, saying, Go up and possess the land which I have given you; then ye rebelled against the commandment of the LORD 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 the LORD 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.
Thus I fell down before the LORD forty days and forty nights, as I fell down [at the first; ] because the LORD 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 unto the LORD, and said, O Lord GOD, destroy not thy people and thine inheritance, which thou hast redeemed through thy greatness, which thou hast brought forth out of Egypt with a mighty 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 unto the stubbornness of this people, nor to their wickedness, nor to 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 the LORD was not able to bring them into the land which he promised them, and because he hated them, he hath brought them out to slay them in the wilderness.
29 Kanefa ireo dia firenenao sy lovanao, izay nentinao nivoaka tamin’ ny herinao lehibe sy ny sandrinao nahinjitra.
Yet they [are] thy people and thine inheritance, which thou broughtest out by thy mighty power and by thy stretched out arm.
