Nomery 33

1 Ary izao no nandehan’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely, izay nentin’ i Mosesy sy Arona nivoaka avy tany amin’ ny tany Egypta araka ny antokony.

Here is a list of the places where the/we Israelis went as Aaron and Moses/I led them/us after they/we left Egypt.

2 Dia nosoratan’ i Mosesy ny nialany araka ny nandehanany, araka ny didin’ i Jehovah; ary izao no nandehanany araka ny nialany:

Yahweh commanded Moses/me to write down the names of the places where they/we went.

3 Niala tao Ramesesa Izy tamin’ ny volana voalohany, dia tamin’ ny andro fahadimy ambin’ ny folo tamin’ ny volana voalohany; nony ampitson’ ny Paska no nivoahan’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely tamin’ ny tanana avo teo imason’ ny Egyptiana rehetra.

On the fifteenth day of the first month [of the year], the day after we celebrated the (Passover/the time when Yahweh killed all the firstborn sons of the people of Egypt), they/we left Rameses [city in Egypt] and marched boldly while the Egyptian army was coming behind them/us.

4 Fa ny Egyptiana mbola nandevina izay efa novonoin’ i Jehovah teo aminy, dia ny lahimatoa rehetra; ary ny andriamaniny dia notsarain’ i Jehovah.

As they/we left, the people of Egypt were still burying the bodies of their firstborn sons. [By killing them], Yahweh showed that the gods that the people of Egypt worshiped were false gods.

5 Ary nony niala tao Ramesesa ny Zanak’ Isiraely, dia nitoby tao Sokota.

Aaron, the priest, obeyed Yahweh and climbed up the mountain. There he died, on the first day of their/our fifth month, 40 years after the/we Israelis left Egypt.

39 Ary efa telo amby roa-polo amby zato taona Arona, raha maty tao an-tendrombohitra Hora izy.

Aaron was 123 years old when he died.

40 Ary ren’ ilay Kananita, mpanjakan’ i Arada, izay nonina teo amin’ ny tany atsimo amin’ ny tany Kanana, fa avy ny Zanak’ Isiraely.

They/We set up our tents there; their/our tents stretched [for several miles/km.] from Beth-Jeshimoth to Acacia.

50 Ary Jehovah niteny tamin’ i Mosesy teo Arbota-moaba, teo amoron’ i Jordana tandrifin’ i Jeriko, ka nanao hoe:

While we were there on the plains of the Moab [region] near the Jordan [River], across from Jericho, Yahweh spoke to Moses/me. He said,

51 Mitenena amin’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely hoe: Rehefa tafita an’ i Jordana ka tonga any amin’ ny tany Kanana ianareo,

“Tell this to the Israeli people: When you cross the Jordan [River] and enter the Canaan [region],

52 dia horoahinareo eo alohanareo ny mponina rehetra amin’ ny tany, ary horavanareo ny vato soratany rehetra, ary hosimbanareo ny sarin-javany an-idina rehetra, ary horavanareo ny fitoerana avony rehetra;

you must force all the people who live there to leave. Destroy all their carved statues and all their idols made of metal. Wreck all the places where they worship [their idols].

53 dia halainareo ny tany, ka hitoetra eo ianareo; fa ianareo no nomeko ny tany ho zara-taninareo.

Take their land from them and start to live there, because I have given their land to you for you to own.

54 Ary filokana no hizaranareo ny tany araka ny fokonareo avy: ny maro isa homenareo zara-tany bebe kokoa, ary ny vitsy isa homenareo kelikely kokoa; samy ao amin’ izay ivoahan’ ny filokana ho azy no ho anjarany; araka ny firenen’ ny razanareo no hahazoanareo zara-tany.

“Divide up the land by throwing (lots/small stones which have been marked) [to decide which group will get which area]. Give the larger areas to the groups that have more people, and give the smaller areas to the groups that have fewer people. Each tribe will receive its own land.

55 Fa raha tsy roahinareo eo alohanareo ny mponina amin’ ny tany, dia ho lay amin’ ny masonareo sy ho tsilo amin’ ny tehezanareo izay avelanareo hitoetra eo, ka handrafy anareo eo amin’ ny tany izay onenanareo izy;

If you do not force the people who live there to leave, they will cause you to have much trouble. They will be like sharp hooks in your eyes, and like thorns in your sides. And they will bring trouble to you, in that land where you will be living.

56 ary hataoko aminareo izay nokasaiko hatao aminy.

And then I will punish you, as I had planned to punish them.”
