Nomery 10
1 Ary Jehovah niteny tamin’ i Mosesy ka nanao hoe:
The Lord told Moses,
2 Manaova trompetra volafotsy roa ho anao; voasana no hanaovanao azy; dia ho fiantsoanao ny fiangonana sy ho fampiainganao ny toby ireo.
“Make two trumpets out of hammered silver. They are to be used for summoning the Israelites and to have the camp move out.
3 Ary raha tsofina avokoa ireo, dia hivory eo aminao, eo anoloan’ ny varavaran’ ny trano-lay fihaonana, ny fiangonana rehetra.
When both trumpets are blown, all the Israelites are to gather before you at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting.
4 Fa raha ny iray ihany no tsofina, dia ny lohan’ ny firenena, izay mpifehy arivo amin’ ny Isiraely, ihany no hivory eo aminao.
But if only one is blown, then only the tribal leaders are to gather before you.
5 Fa raha mitsoka ho fampitairana ianareo, dia hiainga ny toby izay mitoetra eo atsinanana.
When you blow the trumpet loudly, which is the alarm signal to move out, the camps on the east side are to march out first.
6 Ary raha mitsoka ho fampitairana fanindroany ianareo, dia hiainga ny toby izay mitoetra eo atsimo; fampitairana no hatao fiaingany.
When you blow the trumpet loudly the second time, the camps on the south side are to march out. That's their signal to start moving.
7 Fa raha hampivory ny fiangonana kosa ianareo, dia hitsoka fotsiny, fa tsy hanao fampitairana.
To summon the people, blow the trumpets normally, not the loud alarm signal.
8 Ary ireo mpisorona, zanak’ i Arona, no hitsoka ny trompetra; dia ho lalàna mandrakizay ho anareo hatramin’ ny taranakareo fara mandimby izany.
Aaron's descendants are to blow the trumpets. This regulation is for all time and for all future generations.
9 Ary raha misy ady eo amin’ ny taninareo, ka mandeha hiady amin’ ny fahavalo izay mampahory anareo ianareo, dia hitsoka ireo trompetra ireo ho fampitairana, dia hotsarovana eo anatrehan’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrareo ianareo ka hovonjena amin’ ny fahavalonareo.
When you're in your own land and have to go into battle against an enemy who has attacked you, blow the alarm signal and the Lord your God won't forget you—he will save you from your enemies.
10 Ary amin’ ny andro fifalianareo, sy amin’ ny fotoam-pivavahanareo, ary amin’ ny voaloham-bolanareo no hitsofanareo ny trompetra, raha manao ny fanatitra doranareo sy ny fanati-pihavananareo; dia ho fahatsiarovana ho anareo izany eo anatrehan’ Andriamanitrareo: Izaho Jehovah no Andriamanitrareo.
Blow the trumpets when you celebrate too, at your regular feasts and at the beginning of each month. This is when you give your burnt offerings and fellowship offerings which act as a reminder for you before your God. I am the Lord your God.”
11 Ary tamin’ ny andro faharoa-polo tamin’ ny volana faharoa, tamin’ ny taona faharoa, no niakaran’ ny rahona niala teo ambonin’ ny tabernakelin’ ny Vavolombelona.
The cloud rose up from the Tabernacle of the Testimony on the twentieth day of the second month of the second year.
12 Dia niainga tany an-efitr’ i Sinay ny Zanak’ Isiraely ka nandroso, ary ny rahona nijanona tany an-efitra Parana.
The Israelites left the Desert of Sinai and moved from place to place until the cloud stopped in the Desert of Paran.
13 Dia izany no niaingany voalohany araka ny didin’ i Jehovah izay nampitondrainy an’ i Mosesy.
This was the first time they moved out following the Lord's command through Moses.
14 Ary ny fanevan’ ny tobin’ ny taranak’ i Joda no niainga voalohany araka ny antokony, ary Nasona, zanak’ i Aminadaba, no mpifehy ny antokony.
The tribal divisions of Judah went first, marching out under their flag, with Nahshon, son of Amminadab, in charge.
15 Ary Netanela, zanak’ i Zoara, no mpifehy ny antokon’ ny firenena taranak’ Isakara.
Nethanel, son of Zuar, was in charge of the tribal division of Issachar,
16 Ary Eliaba, zanak’ i Helona, no mpifehy ny antokon’ ny firenena taranak’ i Zebolona.
and Eliab, son of Helon, was in charge of the tribal division of Zebulun.
17 Dia nahorona ny tabernakely, ka niainga ny taranak’ i Gersona sy ny taranak’ i Merary, nitondra ny tabernakely.
Then the Tabernacle was dismantled, and the Gershonites and the Merarites set off, carrying it.
18 Dia niainga ny fanevan’ ny tobin’ i Robena araka ny antokony; ary Elizora, zanak’ i Sedeora, no mpifehy ny antokony.
Then came the divisions of Reuben who marched out under their flag, with Elizur, son of Shedeur, in charge.
19 Ary Selomiela, zanak’ i Zorisaday, no mpifehy ny antokon’ ny firenena taranak’ i Simeona.
Shelumiel, son of Zurishaddai, was in charge of the tribal division of Simeon,
20 Ary Eliasafa, zanak’ i Doela, no mpifehy ny antokon’ ny firenena taranak’ i Gada.
and Eliasaph, son of Deuel, was in charge of the tribal division of Gad.
21 Dia niainga ny Kehatita, mitondra ny zava-masìna; ary nisy nanangana ny tabernakely mandra-pihaviny.
Then the Kohathites set off, carrying the holy objects. The Tabernacle would be put up before they arrived.
22 Dia niainga ny fanevan’ ny tobin’ ny taranak’ i Efraima, araka ny antokony; ary Elisama, zanak’ i Amihoda, no mpifehy ny antokony.
Then came the divisions of Ephraim who marched out under their flag, with Elishama, son of Ammihud in charge.
23 Ary Gamaliela, zanak’ i Pedazora, no mpifehy ny antokon’ ny firenena taranak’ i Manase.
Gamaliel, son of Pedahzur, was in charge of the tribal division of Manasseh,
24 Ary Abidana, zanak’ i Gideony, no mpifehy ny firenena taranak’ i Benjamina.
and Abidan, son of Gideoni, was in charge of the tribal division of Benjamin.
25 Dia niainga ny fanevan’ ny tobin’ ny taranak’ i Dana, izay vodi-lalan’ ny toby rehetra, araka ny antokony; ary Ahiezera, zanak’ i Amisaday, no mpifehy ny antokony.
Lastly came the divisions of Dan who marched out under their flag, defending the rear of all the tribal groups, with Ahiezer, son of Ammishaddai, in charge.
26 Ary Pagiela, zanak’ i Okrana, no mpifehy ny antokon’ ny firenena taranak’ i Asera.
Pagiel, son of Ocran, was in charge of the tribal division of Asher,
27 Ary Ahira, zanak’ i Enana, no mpifehy ny antokon’ ny firenena taranak’ i Naftaly.
and Ahira, son of Enan, was in charge of the tribal division of Naphtali.
28 Izany no fandehan’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely, araka ny antokony avy, raha niainga izy.
This was the order in which the Israelite tribal divisions moved out.
29 Dia hoy Mosesy tamin’ i Hobaba, zanak’ i Regoela Midianita, rafozan’ i Mosesy: Izahay izao dia mandeha hankany amin’ ny tany izay nolazain’ i Jehovah hoe: Homeko anareo izy; andeha hiaraka aminay ianao, dia hasianay soa; fa Jehovah efa nilaza soa ny amin’ ny Isiraely.
Moses explained to Hobab, the son of Moses' father-in-law Reuel the Midianite, “We're leaving for the place of which the Lord promised, ‘I'm going to give it to you.’ Come with us, and we'll be good to you, because the Lord has promised good things to Israel.”
30 Fa hoy kosa izy taminy: Tsy handeha aho; fa hody any amin’ ny taniko sy ny havako.
“No, I won't go—I'll return to my own country and my own people,” Hobab replied.
31 Dia hoy Mosesy: Aza dia ilaozanao izahay; fa fantatrao izay tokony hitobianay atỳ an-efitra, ka dia ho masonay ianao.
“Please don't abandon us now,” Moses said, “because you're the one who knows where we should camp in the desert and you can guide us.
32 Ary raha hiaraka aminay ianao, dia izay soa hataon’ i Jehovah aminay no mba hataonay aminao kosa.
If you come with us, whatever good things the Lord blesses us with we'll share with you.”
33 Dia niainga niala tany an-tendrombohitr’ i Jehovah lalan-kateloana izy; ary ny fiaran’ ny faneken’ i Jehovah nandroso nialoha azy lalan-kateloana hitady fialan-tsasatra ho an’ ny olona.
They left the mountain of the Lord to go on a three-day journey The Ark of the Lord's Agreement led the way for them during these three days to find a place for them to camp.
34 Ary ny rahon’ i Jehovah dia teo amboniny nony andro tamin’ ny niaingany niala tamin’ ny nitobiany.
The cloud of the Lord was above them during day as they moved on from the camp.
35 Ary raha niainga ny fiara, dia hoy Mosesy: Mitsangàna, Jehovah ô, ka aoka hiely ny fahavalonao; ary aoka handositra ny tavanao izay mankahala Anao.
Whenever the Ark was carried out, Moses would call out, “Stand up, Lord, and may your enemies be scattered, and may those who hate you run away from you.”
36 Ary raha nijanona kosa ny fiara, dia hoy izy: Miverena, Jehovah ô, ho amin’ ny Isiraely tsy omby alinalina.
Whenever it was set down, he would call out, “Return, Lord, to the thousands and thousands of the people of Israel.”
