Levitikosy 26

1 Aza manao andriamani-tsi-izy; ary aza manangana sarin-javatra voasokitra, na manao tsangambaton-tsampy na manorina vato soratana hiankohofana eo amin’ ny taminareo: fa Izaho no Jehovah Andriamanitrareo.

“Don't make yourselves idols anywhere in your land and bow down to worship them, whether they are images or sacred pillars or stone sculptures. For I am the Lord your God.

2 Tandremo ny Sabatako, ary hajao ny fitoerako masìna: Izaho no Jehovah.

Keep my Sabbaths and show respect for my sanctuary. I am the Lord.

3 Raha manaraka ny lalàko sy mitandrina ny didiko ianareo ka mankatò izany,

If you follow my rules and keep my regulations,

4 dia hanome anareo ranonorana amin’ ny fotoany Aho, ka hahavoka-javatra ny tany, ary hamoa ny hazo any an-tsaha.

I will make sure it rains at the right time so that the ground will grow good crops and the fruit trees will be productive.

5 Ary ny taom-pivelezanareo dia ho tratry ny taom-piotazam-boaloboka, ary ny taom-piotazam-boaloboka dia ho tratry ny taom-pamafazana dia hihinana ianareo ka ho voky; ary handry fahizay eo amin’ ny taninareo.

Your time of threshing will last right up to the grape harvest, and the grape harvest until the time you have to sow again. You will have more than enough to eat and you will live in safety in your land.

6 Any homeko fiadanana eo amin’ ny tany ianareo ka handry fahizay, ary tsy hisy hanaitaitra, fa hofongorako ny biby masiaka amin’ ny tany, ary tsy hotetezin-tsabatra ny taninareo.

I will make sure your land is at peace. You will be able to sleep without being afraid of anything. I will get rid of dangerous animals from the land, and you will not suffer from any violent enemy attacks.

7 Dia hanenjika ny fahavalonareo ianareo, ka ho lavon-tsabatra eo anoloanareo izy.

You will chase your enemies, and kill them with the sword.

8 Ary ny dimy aminareo hanenjika ny zato, ary ny zato aminareo hanenjika ny iray alina; any ny fahavalonareo ho lavon-tsabatra eo anoloanareo.

Five of you will kill one hundred, and one hundred of you will kill ten thousand. You will destroy your enemies.

9 Any hijery anareo Aho ka hahamaro ny taranakareo sy hampitombo anareo, ary hanonina ny fanekeko aminareo Aho.

I will come to help you, so you will reproduce and increase in numbers, and I will confirm my agreement with you.

10 Any hihinana ny tranainy ianareo, sady hamoaka ny tranainy hasiana ny vao.

You'll still be eating your old stock of grain when you need to get rid of it so you can store the new grain.

11 Ary ny tabernakeliko dia hataoko eo aminareo; ary tsy ho halan’ ny fanahiko ianareo.

I will come and live with you—I certainly won't reject you.

12 Ary handeha eo aminareo Aho ka ho Andriamanitrareo; ary ianareo ho oloko.

I shall always be right there with you. I will be your God, and you will be my people.

13 Izaho no Jehovah Andriamanitrareo, Izay nitondra anareo nivoaka avy tany amin’ ny tany Egypta, mba tsy ho andevony ianareo; ary nanapaka ny zioga izay teo aminareo Aho ka nampandeha anareo mijoro,

I am the Lord your God, who led you out of Egypt so you wouldn't have to be slaves to the Egyptians any longer. I smashed the yoke that kept you bent down and helped you to stand up straight.

14 Fa raha tsy mihaino Ahy kosa ianareo ka tsy mankatò ireo didy rehetra ireo,

But if you don't pay attention to me and do what I tell you;

15 ary hamavoinareo ny didiko, na halan’ ny fanahinareo ny fitsipiko, ka tsy ankatoavinareo ny didiko rehetra, fa ivadihanareo ny fanekeko,

if you reject my laws, hate my regulations, and refuse to follow my commandments, and consequently break my agreement,

16 Izaho kosa dia hanao izao aminareo hanisy fampitahorana aminareo Aho, dia areti-mahasahozanina sy tazo mahamay, izay manimba ny maso sy mandany ny aina; ary hafafinareo foana ny voan-javatrareo, fa ny fahavalonareo no hihinana azy.

then this is what I am going to do to you: I will make you panic, and suffer from diseases like tuberculosis and fever that make you blind and drain your life away. It will be pointless for you to sow seed in your fields because your enemies will eat the harvest.

17 Dia hanandrina anareo ny Tavako, ka ho resy eo anoloan’ ny fahavalonareo ianareo; ary izay mankahala anareo no hanapaka anareo; dia handositra ianareo, na dia tsy misy manenjika aza.

I will turn against you, and you'll be defeated by your enemies. People who hate you will rule over you, and you'll run away even when there's no one chasing you!

18 Ary raha mbola tsy mihaino Ahy ihany ianareo amin’ izany rehetra izany, dia mbola hampijaly anareo impito Aho noho ny fahotanareo.

If after all this you still refuse to obey me, I will move to punishing you seven times over for your sins.

19 Ary horavako ny reharehan’ ny herinareo, ka hataoko toy ny vy ny lanitrareo, ary toy ny varahina ny taninareo; ary ny herinareo ho lany foana;

I will break your self-reliant strength you're so proud of, and make your sky hard as iron and your land hard as bronze.

20 fa tsy hahavoka-javatra ny taninareo, any tsy hamoa ny hazo amin’ ny tany.

Your strength will be completely wasted because your land won't produce crops, and your trees won't produce fruit.

21 Ary raha mbola manohitra Ahy ihany ianareo, ka tsy mety mihaino Ahy, dia hasiako kapoka impito koa ianareo araka ny fahotanareo.

If you go on opposing me and refusing to do what I tell you, I will make your punishments seven times worse, based on your sins.

22 Ary hampandehaniko eo aminareo ny bibi-dia, ka handany ny zanakareo sy handringana ny biby fiompinareo ireny ka hahavitsy isa anareo; ary ny lalambenareo ho tonga efitra.

I will send wild animals to kill your children, wipe out your livestock, and make you so few in number that there won't be anyone on your roads.

23 Any raha tsy mandray ny anatro amin’ izany ianareo, fa mbola manohitra Ahy ihany,

However, if in spite of all this correction you still don't change but go on opposing me,

24 Izaho dia Izaho kosa no hamely anareo ka hampijaly anareo impito indray noho ny fahotanareo.

then I will take action against you. I will punish you seven times over for your sins.

25 Dia hampiditra sabatra aminareo Aho ho valin’ ny nivadihanareo ny fanekena; ary rehefa tafangona eo anatin’ ny tanànanareo ianareo, dia hanatitra areti-mandringana aminareo Aho; ary hatolotra eo an-tànan’ ny fahavalo ianareo.

I will send enemies with swords to attack you in retaliation for breaking the agreement. Even though you retreat into your towns for defense, I will plague you with disease, and you will be handed over to your enemies.

26 Raha tapahiko ny vary, izay tohan’ ainareo, dia fanendasa-mofo iray ihany no hanendasan’ ny vehivavy folo ny mofonareo, ary an-danjany no hizarany azy, dia hihinana ianareo, fa tsy ho voky.

I will send a famine so bread is in short supply. One oven will serve the needs of ten women baking bread. It will be distributed by weight so that you'll eat but won't have enough.

27 Ary raha mbola tsy mihaino Ahy amin’ izany indray ianareo, fa mbola manohitra Ahy ihany,

However, if in spite of all this you don't obey me, but go on opposing me,

28 dia hamely anareo amin’ ny fahatezerana kosa Aho; ary Izaho dia Izaho no hampijaly anareo impito indray noho ny fahotanareo.

then I will take action against you in a rage of fury, and I will punish you myself seven times over for your sins.

29 Dia hihinana ny nofon’ ny zanakareo-lahy sy ny zanakareo-vavy ianareo.

You will eat the bodies of your own sons and daughters.

30 Ary horavako ny fitoerana avonareo, sy hokapaiko ny tsangan-kazonareo ho an’ ny masoandro, ary ny fatinareo dia hariako eo ambonin’ ny fatin’ ny sampinareo, ary ho halan’ ny fanahiko ianareo.

I will destroy your high places of worship, smash your altars of incense, and pile up your dead bodies on what remains of your idols, which also have no life at all. I will really despise you.

31 Ary horavako ny tanànanareo, ka hatao lao ny fitoera-masinareo, ary tsy hamboloiko ny hanitrareo ankasitrahana.

I will demolish your towns and destroy your pagan sanctuaries, and I will refuse to accept your sacrifices.

32 Ary hataoko lao ny tany, ka ho talanjona amin’ izany ny fahavalonareo izay monina eo.

I will devastate your land myself, so that your enemies who come and live in it will be horrified at what has happened.

33 Ary ianareo dia haeliko any amin’ ny jentilisa, any hanatsoaka sabatra ho enti-manenjika anareo Aho; ary ny taninareo ho lao, any ny tanànanareo ho rava.

I'm going to scatter you among the nations. You will be chased out by armies with swords as your land is ruined and your towns are destroyed.

34 Ary amin’ izany ny tany dia hanonitra ny sabatany amin’ ny andro rehetra izay hahafoanany, raha any amin’ ny tanin’ ny fahavalonareo ianareo; dia hitsahatra ny tany ka hanonitra ny sabatany;

At least then the land will be able to enjoy its Sabbaths all the time it's abandoned while you are in exile in the land of your enemies. The land will finally be able to rest and enjoy its Sabbaths.

35 amin’ ny andro hahafoanany rehetra no hitsaharany ho solon’ izay tsy nitsaharany tamin’ ny sabatanareo, raha mbola nonina teo ianareo.

The whole time it's abandoned the land will observe the Sabbaths of rest that it wasn't able to do while you were living there.

36 Ary ny amin’ ny sisa aminareo any amin’ ny tanin’ ny fahavalony, dia hampiditra faharerahana ao am-pony Aho, ka na dia ny feon’ ny ravin-kazo voapaoka aza dia hampandositra azy; ary handositra tahaka ny mandosi-tsabatra izy ka ho lavo, na dia tsy misy manenjika aza.

I will make those of you who survive so discouraged that as you live in the lands of your enemies even the sound of a leaf blowing in the wind will scare you into running away! You'll run away like you're being chased by someone with a sword, and fall down even though no one is after you.

37 Ary ho lavo mifanindry toy ny mandosi-tsabatra izy, na dia tsy misy manenjika aza; ka dia tsy hahajanona eo anoloan’ ny fahavalonareo ianareo.

You'll trip over each other as you run away from the attack, then though no one's there. You'll have no power to resist your enemies.

38 Any dia ho lany ringana any amin’ ny jentilisa ianareo, any ho lanin’ ny tanin’ ny fahavalonareo ianareo.

You'll die in exile and you'll be buried in a foreign country.

39 Ary ny sisa eo aminareo dia ho levona any amin’ ny tanin’ ny fahavalonareo noho ny helony sy ny heloky ny razany koa.

Those of you who do manage to survive in the countries of your enemies will wither away because of their guilt, decaying as they share the sins of their fathers.

40 Fa raha hiaiky ny helony sy ny heloky ny razany izy, dia ny fahadisoany izay nandisoany tamiko tamin’ ny nanoherany Ahy,

They need to confess their sins and those of their fathers, acting in such an unfaithful way towards me, opposing me.

41 ary Izaho kosa namely azy ka nitondra azy ho any amin’ ny tanin’ ny fahavalony, raha hietry amin’ izany ny fony tsy voafora, any hanonitra ny amin’ ny helony izy,

Because of this I took action against them and exiled them in the countries of their enemies. However, if they humbly give up their stubborn attitude and accept their punishment for their sins,

42 dia hotsarovako ny fanekeko tamin’ i Jakoba sy ny fanekeko tamin’ Isaka ary ny fanekeko tamin’ i Abrahama; ary hotsarovako koa ny tany.

then I will fulfill the agreement I made with Jacob, Isaac, and Abraham, and I will not forget my promise about the land.

43 Ary ny tany hilaozan’ ny olona ka hanonitra ny sabatany, raha mitoetra foana tsy misy olona izy; ary ny olona hanonitra ny amin’ ny helony, satria nandà ny fitsipiko Izy, ary halan’ ny fanahiny ny didiko.

For the land will be left empty by them, and it will enjoy its Sabbaths being abandoned. They will pay for their sins, because they rejected my rules and regulations.

44 Ary na dia izany rehetra izany aza, raha any amin’ ny tanin’ ny fahavalony izy, dia tsy holaviko ary tsy ho halako, fandrao lany ringana izy rehetra, ka rava ny fanekeko taminy; fa Izaho no Jehovah Andriamaniny.

But despite all this, even while they are living in land of their enemies, I will not reject or hate them so much as to destroy them and break my agreement with them, because I am the Lord their God.

45 Fa ny hitahiako azy no hahatsiarovako ny fanekena tamin’ ny razany, izay nentiko nivoaka avy tany amin’ ny tany Egypta teo Imason’ ny jentilisa, mba ho Andriamaniny Aho: Izaho no Jehovah.

Because of them I will renew the agreement I made with their fathers, those I led out of Egypt as the other nations watched, in order that I might be their God. I am the Lord.”

46 lreo no didy sy fitsipika ary lalàna izay nataon’ i Jehovah ho aminy sy amin’ ny Zanak Isiraely, teo an-tendrombohitra Sinay ka nampilazainy an’ i Mosesy.

These are the rules, regulations, and laws that the Lord set up between himself and the Israelites through Moses on Mount Sinai.
