Nomery 15
1 Ary Jehovah niteny tamin’ i Mosesy ka nanao hoe:
Then Yahweh told Moses/me,
2 Mitenena amin’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely hoe: Raha tonga any amin’ ny tany honenanareo izay omeko anareo ianareo
“Tell this to the Israeli people: When you arrive in the land that I am giving to you,
3 ka manatitra fanatitra atao amin’ ny afo ho an’ i Jehovah, dia omby na ondry aman’ osy hatao fanatitra dorana, na fanatitra hafa alatsa-drà hanalana voady, na amin’ ny sitrapo na amin’ ny fotoam-pivavahanareo, hanaovana hanitra ankasitrahana ho an’ i Jehovah:
you must offer to me special sacrifices which will be pleasing to me [when the priest burns them on the altar]. Some of them may be offerings that will be completely burned [on the altar]. Some of them may be to indicate that you have made a solemn promise to me. Some of them may be offerings that you yourselves have decided to make. Some of them may be offerings at one of the festivals that you celebrate each year. These offerings may be taken from your herds [of cattle] or from your flocks [of sheep and goats].
4 izay manatitra ny fanatiny ho an’ i Jehovah dia hanatitra fanatitra hohanina koa, dia koba tsara toto ampahafolon’ ny efaha voaharo diloilo ampahefatry ny hina;
When you give these offerings, you must also bring to me a grain offering of two quarts/liters of nice flour mixed with one quart/liter of [olive] oil.
5 ary divay ampahefatry ny hina hatao fanatitra aidina no hampombainao ny fanatitra dorana, na ny fanatitra hafa alatsa-drà, amin’ ny isan-janak’ ondry iray.
When you offer a lamb to be a sacrifice to be completely burned, you must also pour on the altar one quart/liter of wine.
6 Ary ho fanampin’ ny isan-ondrilahy iray dia koba tsara toto roa ampahafolon’ ny efaha voaharo diloilo ampahatelon’ ny hina no haterinao ho fanatitra hohanina;
‘When you offer a ram to be a sacrifice, you must also bring an offering of four quarts/liters of finely-ground flour mixed with (a third of a gallon/1.3 liters) of [olive] oil.
7 ary divay ampahatelon’ ny hina no haterinao ho fanatitra aidina, ho hanitra ankasitrahana ho an’ i Jehovah.
And also pour on the altar (a third of a gallon/1.3 liters) of wine. While they are being burned, the smell will be very pleasing to me.
8 Ary raha manatitra omby ho fanatitra dorana na ho fanatitra hafa alatsa-drà ianao, hanalana voady, na ho fanati-pihavanana ho an’ i Jehovah,
‘Sometimes you will offer a young bull to be completely burned on the altar. Sometimes you will offer a sacrifice to indicate that you have made a solemn promise to me. Sometimes you will offer a sacrifice to maintain fellowship with me.
9 dia fanatitra hohanina koa no haterinao ho fanampin’ ny isan-omby iray, dia koba tsara toto telo ampahafolon’ ny efaha voaharo diloilo antsasaky ny hina;
When you offer these sacrifices, you must also offer a grain offering of six quarts/liters of finely-ground flour mixed with two quarts/liters of [olive] oil.
10 ary divay antsasaky ny hina no haterinao ho fanatitra aidina, ho fanatitra atao amin’ ny afo, ho hanitra ankasitrahana ho an’ i Jehovah.
Also pour on the altar two quarts/liters of wine to be an offering. While those special gifts are being burned, the smell will be very pleasing to me.
11 Izany no hatao amin’ ny isan-omby iray, na ny isan-ondrilahy iray, na ny isan-janak’ ondry iray, na ny isan-janak’ osy iray.
Each time someone offers a bull or a ram or a male lamb or a young goat to be a sacrifice, it must be done that way.
12 Tahaka izany no hataonareo amin’ izy rehetra, araka ny isan’ ny zavatra aterinareo.
You must obey these instructions for each animal that you bring to me for an offering.
13 Ny tompon-tany rehetra samy hanao ireo zavatra ireo araka izany, raha manatitra fanatitra atao amin’ ny afo ho hanitra ankasitrahana ho an’ i Jehovah izy.
‘All of you people who have been Israelis all of your lives must obey these regulations when you offer sacrifices that will be pleasing to me when they are burned on the altar.
14 Ary raha misy vahiny eo aminareo, na olona miara-mitoetra aminareo, hatramin’ ny taranakareo fara mandimby, ka manatitra fanatitra atao amin’ ny afo ho hanitra ankasitrahana ho an’ i Jehovah izy, dia araka izay ataonareo no hataony.
If any foreigners visit you or live among you, if they also want to bring a sacrifice that will be pleasing to me when it is burned on the altar, they must obey these same instructions.
15 Ary ny amin’ ny fiangonana, dia lalàna iray ihany sy fanao iray ihany no ho aminareo sy izay vahiny eo aminareo koa, dia lalàna mandrakizay hatramin’ ny taranakareo fara mandimby izany: tsy hisy hafa eo anatrehan’ i Jehovah na ianareo na ny vahiny.
I consider that those who have always been Israelis and those who are foreigners are equal, and so they must all obey the same instructions. All of your descendants must also continue to obey these instructions.
16 Lalàna iray ihany sy fanao iray ihany no ho aminareo sy izay vahiny eo aminareo.
You Israelis and the foreigners who live among you must all obey the same instructions.”
17 Ary Jehovah niteny tamin’ i Mosesy ka nanao hoe:
Yahweh also said to Moses/me,
18 Mitenena amin’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely hoe: Raha tonga any amin’ ny tany izay itondrako anareo ianareo
“Tell these instructions to the Israeli people: [Yahweh says this]: ‘When you arrive in the land to which I am taking you,
19 ka hihinana mofo avy amin’ ny vokatry ny tany, dia hanokana izay ho an’ i Jehovah.
and you eat the crops that are growing there, you must set some of them aside to be a sacred offering to me.
20 Hanokana mofo iray izay hatao amin’ ny voalohan’ ny kobanareo voafetafeta ianareo; tahaka izay atokana avy eo amin’ ny famoloana no hanokananareo izany.
[Each year] set aside some of the first grain that you gather after you have threshed it. Bake a loaf of bread from the first flour that you grind and bring it to me to be a sacred offering.
21 Ny voalohan’ ny kobanareo voafetafeta dia hanomezanareo ho an’ i Jehovah hatramin’ ny taranakareo fara mandimby.
Every year, you and your descendants must continue to make and bring to me [a loaf of bread baked] [MTY] [with flour] from the first part of the grain that you harvest.’”
22 Ary raha manota tsy nahy ianareo ka tsy mankatò ireo didy rehetra ireo, izay nolazain’ i Jehovah tamin’ i Mosesy,
“‘There may be times when you Israelis do not obey all these instructions that I have given to Moses to tell you, but not because you intended to disobey them.
23 dia izay rehetra nasain’ i Jehovah nandidian’ i Mosesy anareo, hatramin’ ny andro izay nanaovan’ i Jehovah izany didy izany ka hatramin’ ny taranakareo fara mandimby,
There may be times when some of your descendants do not obey all these instructions that I have given to Moses to tell to you.
24 koa atao tsy nahy izany ka tsy fantatry ny fiangonana; dia hanatitra vantotr’ ombilahy iray ny fiangonana rehetra ho fanatitra dorana, ho hanitra ankasitrahana ho an’ i Jehovah, mbamin’ ny fanatitra hohanina sy ny fanatitra aidina momba azy, araka ny fanao, ary osilahy iray ho fanatitra noho ny ota.
If you or they sin [by forgetting to obey these instructions] and none of the Israeli people realize that they were doing that, one young bull as an offering for all the people [must be brought to the priest]. That will be pleasing to me [when it is burned on the altar]. They must also bring to me a grain offering and an offering of wine, and a male goat, to be sacrificed to enable me to forgive them for the sins they have committed.
25 Ary ny mpisorona dia hanao fanavotana ho an’ ny fiangonana, dia ny Zanak’ Isiraely rehetra, ka dia havela ny helony, satria natao tsy nahy izany; ary hitondra ny fanatiny izy, dia fanatitra atao amin’ ny afo ho an’ i Jehovah, ary ny fanatiny noho ny ota, eo anatrehan’ i Jehovah, noho ny ota tsy nahy nataony.
[By offering these sacrifices], the priest will make atonement for all of you Israeli people. Then, as a result of their bringing to me an offering to be burned [on the altar], (you will be forgiven/I will forgive you), because you sinned without realizing that you were sinning.
26 Dia havela ny heloky ny fiangonana, dia ny Zanak’ Isiraely rehetra, mbamin’ izay vahiny eo aminy; fa nahazo ny olona rehetra izany noho ny ota tsy nahy,
You Israeli people and the foreigners who are living among you will all be forgiven.
27 Ary raha olona iray kosa no manota tsy nahy, dia hanatitra osivavy iray izay iray taona izy ho fanatitra noho ny ota.
If one person commits a sin without realizing that he was sinning, that person must bring to me a female goat to be an offering to enable me to forgive that person for the sins that person has committed.
28 Ary ny mpisorona dia hanao fanavotana ho an’ ny olona izay nanota tsy nahy eo anatrehan’ i Jehovah, ka dia havela ny helony.
The priest will offer it to be a sacrifice to remove the guilt of that person, and that person will be forgiven.
29 Lalàna iray ihany no hatao amin’ izay manota tsy nahy, na amin’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely rehetra, na amin’ ny vahiny eo aminareo.
You Israelis and all the foreigners who live among you must obey these same instructions.
30 Fa ny olona izay manota sahisahy kosa, na tompon-tany, na vahiny, dia manamavo an’ i Jehovah, ka dia hofongorana tsy ho amin’ ny fireneny.
But those who disobey my commands (deliberately/because they want to), both Israelis and the foreigners who live among you, have sinned against me [by doing that]. So (they must be expelled/you must expel them) from your camp.
31 Fa ny tenin’ i Jehovah no nohamavoiny, ary ny lalàny no nodikainy, dia hofongorana tokoa izany olona izany; ny helony dia ho aminy ihany.
They have despised my commands and deliberately disobeyed them, so they must be punished for their sin by not being allowed to live among you any more.’”
32 Ary raha tany an-efitra ny Zanak’ Isiraely, dia nahita lehilahy anankiray nanangona kitay hazo tamin’ ny andro Sabata.
One day, while the Israelis were in the desert, some of them saw a man who was gathering firewood on the Sabbath/rest day.
33 Ary izay nahita azy nanangona kitay dia nitondra azy teo amin’ i Mosesy sy Arona ary ny fiangonana rehetra.
Those who saw him doing that brought him to Aaron and Moses/me and the rest of the Israeli people.
34 Dia nambenana ralehilahy, satria tsy mbola fantatra izay hatao aminy.
They guarded him carefully, because they did not know what to do [to punish] him.
35 Ary hoy Jehovah tamin’ i Mosesy: Hatao maty tokoa izany lehilahy izany; hitora-bato azy eny ivelan’ ny toby ny fiangonana rehetra.
Then Yahweh said to Moses/me, “The man must be executed. All of you must [kill him by throwing] stones at him outside the camp.”
36 Dia namoaka azy ho eny ivelan’ ny toby ny fiangonana rehetra ka nitora-bato azy, ka maty izy, dia araka izay nandidian’ i Jehovah an’ i Mosesy ihany.
So they all took the man outside the camp and killed him by throwing stones at him, as Yahweh had commanded Moses/me that they should do.
37 Ary Jehovah niteny tamin’ i Mosesy ka nanao hoe:
Yahweh also said to Moses/me,
38 Mitenena amin’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely, ka asaovy asiany somotraviavy ny sisin’ ny fitafiany hatramin’ ny taranany fara mandimby, ary aoka hasiany kofehy manga eo amin’ ny somotraviaviny.
“Tell this to the Israeli people: You and all your descendants must [twist threads together to] make tassels, and then attach them with blue cords to the bottom edges of your clothes.
39 Ary ho somotraviavy ho anareo izany, ka raha jerenareo, dia hotsarovanareo sy hankatoavinareo ny didin’ i Jehovah rehetra; ary tsy handeha araka ny fonareo ianareo, na araka ny masonareo, izay andehananareo hijangajangana,
When you look at the tassels, you will remember all the instructions that I gave to you, and you will obey them, instead of doing what you desire and as a result causing yourselves to become unacceptable to me.
40 mba hotsarovanareo sy hankatoavinareo ny didiko rehetra, ka dia ho masìna ho an’ Andriamanitrareo ianareo.
Seeing those tassels will help you to remember that you must obey all my commands and that you must be (my holy people/dedicated to me).
41 Izaho no Jehovah Andriamanitrareo, Izay nitondra anareo nivoaka avy tany amin’ ny tany Egypta mba ho Andriamanitrareo: Izaho no Jehovah Andriamanitrareo.
Do not forget that I am Yahweh, your God. I am the one who brought you out of Egypt in order that you might belong to me. I am Yahweh, your God.”
