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! You are to pass over the Jordan today, to go in to dispossess nations greater and mightier than yourself, cities great and fortified up to the sky,
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 you know, and of whom you have 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 therefore today that the LORD your God is he who goes over before you as a devouring fire. He will destroy them and he will bring them down before you. So you shall drive them out and make them perish quickly, as the LORD has spoken to you.
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.
Don’t say in your heart, after the LORD your God has thrust them out from before you, “For my righteousness the LORD has brought me in to possess this land;” because the LORD drives them out before you because of the wickedness of these nations.
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 your righteousness or for the uprightness of your heart do you go in to possess their land; but for the wickedness of these nations the LORD your God does drive them out from before you, and that he may establish the word which the LORD swore to your 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 the LORD your God doesn’t give you this good land to possess for your righteousness, for you are 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, and don’t forget, how you provoked the LORD your God to wrath in the wilderness. From the day that you left the land of Egypt until you came to this place, you 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 you provoked the LORD to wrath, and the LORD 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 had gone up onto the mountain to receive the stone tablets, even the tablets of the covenant which the LORD made with you, then I stayed on the mountain forty days and forty nights. I neither ate bread nor drank 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.
The LORD delivered to me the two stone tablets written with God’s finger. On them were all the words which the LORD spoke with you on the mountain out of the middle 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.
It came to pass at the end of forty days and forty nights that the LORD gave me the two stone tablets, even the tablets 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.
The LORD said to me, “Arise, get down quickly from here; for your people whom you have brought out of Egypt have corrupted themselves. They have quickly turned away from the way which I commanded them. They have made a molten image for themselves!”
13 Ary hoy koa Jehovah tamiko: Efa hitako ity firenena ity, fa, indro, olona mafy hatoka izy.
Furthermore the LORD spoke to me, saying, “I have seen these people, and behold, they are 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.
Leave me alone, that I may destroy them, and blot out their name from under the sky; and I will make of you 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 mountain, and the mountain was burning with fire. The two tablets 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.
I looked, and behold, you had sinned against the LORD your God. You had made yourselves a moulded calf. You had quickly turned away from 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.
I took hold of the two tablets, and threw 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.
I fell down before the LORD, as at the first, forty days and forty nights. I neither ate bread nor drank water, because of all your sin which you sinned, in doing that which was evil in the LORD’s sight, 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 with which the LORD was angry against you to destroy you. But the LORD listened to me 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.
The LORD was angry enough with Aaron to destroy him. 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.
I took your sin, the calf which you had made, and burnt it with fire, and crushed it, grinding it very small, until it was as fine as dust. I threw its dust into the brook that descended out of the mountain.
22 Ary tao Tabera sy Masa ary Kibrota-hatava no nampahatezeranareo an’ i Jehovah.
At Taberah, at Massah, and at Kibroth Hattaavah you 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.
When the LORD sent you from Kadesh Barnea, saying, “Go up and possess the land which I have given you,” you rebelled against the commandment of the LORD your God, and you didn’t believe him or listen to his voice.
24 Eny, niodina tamin’ i Jehovah ihany ianareo hatramin’ ny andro nahalalako anareo no ho mankaty.
You 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.
So I fell down before the LORD the forty days and forty nights that I fell down, 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 to the LORD, and said, “Lord GOD, don’t destroy your people and your inheritance that you have redeemed through your greatness, that you have brought 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 your servants, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Don’t look 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 you brought us out from say, ‘Because the LORD was not able to bring them into the land which he promised to them, and because he hated them, he has 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.
Yet they are your people and your inheritance, which you brought out by your great power and by your outstretched arm.”
