Deotoronomia 1
1 Iretoañe o tsara nilañona’ i Mosè am’ Israele iaby alafe’ Iardeney, am-patrambey ao, an-tane mira tandrife i Sofe añivo’ i Parane naho i Tòfele naho i Labane naho i Katseròte vaho i Dizahabe.
These are the words which Moses spoke to all of Israel, across the Jordan, in the plain of the wilderness opposite the Red Sea, between Paran and Tophel and Laban and Hazeroth, where gold is very plentiful,
2 (Mahamodo andro folo-raik’ amby ty lia mb’e Kadàse-Barnèa mb’eo t’ie miary mb’e Vohi-Seire añe.)
eleven days from Horeb, by way of Mount Seir as far as Kadesh-barnea.
3 Aa ie tamy taom-paha efa-poloy, ami’ty vola’e faha-folo-raik’amby, ami’ty andro valoha’ i volañey le ninday lañonañe amo ana’ Israeleo t’i Mosè, amy nampisaontsie’ Iehovày aze;
In the fortieth year, on the eleventh month, on the first day of the month, Moses told the sons of Israel all that the Lord had instructed him. And so he spoke to them,
4 naho fa zinevo’e t’i Sihone mpanjaka’ o nte-Amore nimoneñe e Khesboneo, naho i Oge mpanjaka’ i Basane nimoneñe e Astaròte e Ederèy ao;
after he had struck down Sihon, the king of the Amorites, who lived at Heshbon, and Og, the king of Bashan, who resided at Ashtaroth and at Edrei,
5 alafe’ Iardeney atoy, an-tane’ i Moabe, ty nimanea’ i Mosè halangesañe i Hake ami’ty hoe:
across the Jordan in the land of Moab. And so, Moses began to explain the law, and to say:
6 Nitsara aman-tika e Korebe añe t’Iehovà Andrianañaharentika nanao ty hoe: Ihe loho tambatse ami’ty vohitse toy:
“The Lord our God spoke to us at Horeb, saying: ‘You have remained long enough on this mountain.
7 mitoliha naho tonjohizo ty lia’ areo, le mionjona mb’am-bohi’ o nte Amoreo mb’eo; naho mb’an-tane mañohoke aze iaby mb’ an-tane-mira ey naho mb’amo vohibohitseo naho mb’am-bavatane ao naho mb’ atimo añe naho mb’ añolon-driake mb’eo pak’ an-tane’ i nte-Kanàney naho pake Lebanone añe vaho migadoña amy oñe ra’elahiy, i oñe Peràtey.
Turn back and go to the mountain of the Amorites, and to the other places which are near it: the plains as well as the mountainous regions, and the low-lying places opposite the south and along the shore of the sea, the land of the Canaanites, and Lebanon, as far as the great river Euphrates.’
8 Ingo, fa nalahako añatrefa’ areo o taneo; akia rambeso ho anahareo i tane nifañinà’ Iehovà aman-droae’ areoy: amy Avrahame naho am’ Ietsake vaho am’ Iakobe, t’ie hatolots’ am’ iareo naho o tarira’ iareo hanonjohio.
‘Lo,’ he said, ‘I have delivered it to you. Enter and possess that which the Lord swore to your fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, that he would give it to them, and to their offspring after them.’
9 Ie amy zay nanao ty hoe ama’ areo iraho, Tsy lefeko ty mivave anahareo, izaho avao,
And I said to you, at that time:
10 fa nampanaranàhe’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’ areo ho mira ami’ty ia’ o vasian-dikerañeo androany.
‘I alone am not able to sustain you. For the Lord, your God, has multiplied you, and you are today like the stars of heaven, very many.
11 Le ee te hampitomboe’ Iehovà Andrianañaharen-droae’ areo añ’ arivo ty ia’ areo vaho hitahy anahareo amy nampitamae’ey.
May the Lord, the God of your fathers, add to this number many thousands more, and may he bless you, just as he has said.
12 Fa aia ty hahavaveako, t’ie raike, ty fañangara’ areo naho ty fampioremeña’ areo vaho ty fampihohokohofa’ areo ahiko.
Alone, I do not have the strength to endure your arbitrations and judgments and disputes.
13 Tendreo o mahilala’ areoo, o mahihitseo naho o maharofoanañe amo rofoko’ areoo le hanoeko mpifehe’ areo.
Offer, from among you, wise and experienced men, those whose conversation has been proven within your tribes, so that I may appoint them as your rulers.’
14 Le natoi’ areo ty hoe, Mete i nisaontsia’o hanoeñey.
Then you responded to me: ‘What you intend to do is a good thing.’
15 Aa le rinambeko o mpiaolo’ o fifokoa’ areoo, o mahihitse naho mahilalao naho najadoko ho talè’ areo ho mpifelek’ arivo, naho mpifeleke zato, naho mpifeleke limampolo, naho mpifeleke folo, vaho ho mpitoronjo, ki-foko, ki-foko.
And so, I took from your tribes men, wise and noble, and I appointed them as rulers, as tribunes and centurions, and as leaders over fifty and over ten, who would teach you each thing.
16 Le nafantoko amo mpizaka’ areoo amy andro zay, ty hoe: Mijanjiña añivo’ o rolongo’ areoo vaho mizakà an-katò añivo’ ze ondaty naho ty rahalahi’e ndra ze renetane ama’e.
And I instructed them, saying: ‘Listen to them, and judge what is just, whether he is one of your citizens or a sojourner.
17 Ko mirihy an-jaka; fe janjiño ty kede naho ty bey; ko hembañe ami’ty lahara’ ondaty, fa an’Andrianañahare ty zaka, le ze tsy lefe’ areo ro hasese amako ho tsanoñeko.
There shall be no favoritism to any persons. So you shall listen to the little as well as to the great. And you shall not accept anyone’s reputation, for this is the judgment of God. But if anything seems difficult to you, then refer it to me, and I will hear it.’
18 Aa le nililieko henane zay ze hene raha hanoe’ areo.
And I instructed you in all that you were obliged to do.
19 Aa ie nienga i Korebe tika, le niranga i fatrañe jabajaba maharevendreveñe nioni’ areo am-piariañe ty vohi’ o nte-Amoreoy, amy nandilia’ Iehovà Andrianañaharentikañey; le nivotrake e Kadese-Barneà eo,
Then, setting out from Horeb, we crossed through a terrible and great wasteland, which you saw along the way of the mountain of the Amorite, just as the Lord our God had instructed us. And when we had arrived at Kadesh-barnea,
20 vaho hoe ty nanoeko: ie fa nandoak’ am-bohi’ o nte-Amoreo, i hatolo’ Iehovà Andrianañaharen-tika aman-tikañey.
I said to you: ‘You have arrived at the mountain of the Amorite, which the Lord our God will give to us.
21 Ingo fa napo’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’o añatrefa’o eo o taneo: aa le mionjona mb’eo naho rambeso ami’ty nitsara’ Iehovà Andrianañaharen-droae’o, ko hembañe vaho ko mitsolofìñe.
Gaze upon the land that the Lord your God gives to you. Ascend and possess it, just as the Lord our God has spoken to your fathers. Do not be afraid, and do not become terrified by anything.’
22 Aa le songa niharine amako nanao ty hoe: hamantoke ondaty hiaolo antika mb’eo zahay hitsikarake i taney vaho hinday saontsy amantika ami’ty lalañe hionjonan-tika mb’eo naho o rova higaoñan-tikañeo.
And you all approached me and said: ‘Let us send men who may consider the land, and who may report as to the way by which we ought to ascend, and as to which cities we ought to travel.’
23 Toe ninòko i saontsy zay, vaho rinambeko t’indaty folo-ro’ amby, songa raike ami’ty fifokoañe;
And since the word was pleasing to me, I sent from among you twelve men, one from each tribe.
24 le nitolike iereo nionjoñe mb’am-bohibohitse mb’eo naho nandoak’ am-bavatane Eskole vaho nitsoetsoek’ ao.
These, when they had set out and had ascended the mountains, arrived as far as the valley of the cluster of grapes. And having considered the land,
25 Nandrambesa’ iareo am-pitàñe ty voka’ i taney le nendese’ iareo nizotso mb’ aman-tikañe atoy, vaho ninday saontsy aman-tika nanao ty hoe: Soa i tane natolo’ Iehovà Andrianañaharen-tika aman-tikañey.
having taken from its fruits in order to show its fertility, they brought these to us, and they said: ‘The land that the Lord our God will give to us is good.’
26 F’ie amy zay, tsy ni-mete nionjom-beo nahareo te mone niola ami’ty nandilia’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’ areo,
Yet you were not willing to go there. Instead, being incredulous to the word of the Lord our God,
27 vaho niñeoñeoñe an-kiboho’ areo ao ami’ty hoe: ty falai’ Iehovà antika ty nañakara’e antika an-tane Mitsraime hanesea’e am-pità’ o nte-Amoreo harotsake.
you murmured in your tents, and you said: ‘The Lord hates us, and therefore he has led us away from the land of Egypt, so that he might deliver us into the hand of the Amorite and destroy us.
28 Aia ty hionjonan-tika? Nahamohake ty arofo’ay ty enta’ o longontikañeo nanao ty hoe, Ra’elahy naho abo te amantika ondatio naho jabajaba o rova’ iareo reketse kijoly mitiotiotse mb’andikerañ’ eio vaho niisa’ay ao o ana’ i Anàkeo.
To where should we ascend? The messengers have terrified our heart by saying: “The multitude is very great, and taller than us. And the cities are great, and the walls extend even to the sky. We have seen the sons of the Anakim there.”’
29 Aa le nanoeko ty hoe, Ko irevendreveñañe, ko ihembañañe.
And I said to you: ‘Do not be apprehensive, nor should you fear them.
30 Iehovà Andrianañahare Mpiaolo ro hialy ho anahareo hambañe amy nanoe’e e Mitsraime añe aolom-pihaino’ areoy;
The Lord God himself, who is your leader, will fight on your behalf, just as he did in Egypt in the sight of all.
31 naho tam-patrambey añe; fa niisa’ areo ty fiotroña’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’ areo, manahake ty fiotroña’ ondaty i ana-dahi’ey, amo lia’ areo iabio ampara’ te nivotrak’ an-tane atoy.
And in the wilderness (as you yourselves saw), the Lord your God carried you, like a man who is accustomed to carrying his little son, along all the way that you walked, until you arrived at this place.’
32 F’ie amy zay, tsy natokisa’ areo t’Iehovà Andrianañahare’ areo,
And yet, despite all of this, you did not believe the Lord your God,
33 i Mpiaolo am-pañaveloañey nipay ze hañoreña’ areo o kibohotseo, ie añ’afo ao te haleñe hanoroa’e ty lalan-kombà’ areo vaho an-drahoñe ao te handro.
who went before you on the way, and who marked out the place where you should pitch your tents, showing you the way by fire in the night, and by a pillar of cloud in the day.
34 Ie jinanji’ Iehovà i feon’ enta’ areo zay, le niviñetse vaho nifanta ty hoe:
And when the Lord had heard the voice of your words, becoming angry, he swore and said:
35 Leo raik’ amo retoañe—o tariratse raty reo—tsy hahaisake i tane soa nifañinàko hatolotse aman-droae’ areoy,
‘None of the men of this wicked generation will see the good land, which I have promised by oath to your fathers,
36 naho tsy i Kalèbe ana’ Iefonè. Ie ty hahaisake, le hatoloko aze naho amo tarira’eo i tane niliàm-pandia’ey ami’ty fañoriha’e fatratse Iehovà.
except Caleb the son of Jephuneh. For he himself will see it, and I will give the land on which he has walked to him and to his sons, because he has followed the Lord.’
37 Izaho ka niviñera’ Iehovà ty ama’ areo amy tsara’ey, ty hoe: Tsy himoak’ ao ka irehe.
Neither is his indignation with the people a wonder, since the Lord also became angry with me because of you, and so he said: ‘Neither will you enter into that place.
38 I Iehosoa ana’ i None, mpitoro’oy, ty himoak’ ao; osiho amy t’ie ty hampandova Israele aze.
But Joshua, the son of Nun, your minister, shall himself enter on your behalf. Exhort and strengthen this man, and he himself shall divide the land by lot to Israel.
39 Le o keleia’ areoo, o natao’ areo ho nikopaheñeo, o ana’ areoo; i mboe tsy nahilala ty soa naho ty raty henane zay rey ty himoak’ ao; le hatoloko iareo vaho ho rambese’ iareo ho fanañañe.
Your little ones, about whom you said that they would be led away as captives, and your sons, who to this day are ignorant of the difference between good and evil, they shall enter. And I will give the land to them, and they will possess it.
40 F’inahareo ka, mitoliha naho mionjona mb’am-patrambey miary amy Ria-Binday mb’eo.
But as for you, turn back and go out to the wilderness, by way of the Red Sea.’
41 Nanoiñ’ ahy ami’ty hoe nahareo, Toe anaña’ Iehovà hakeo! Veka’e hionjoñe hialy zahay ami’ty nandilia’ Iehovà Andrianañaharen-tika. Aa le songa nidiam-pialiañe ondatio fa natao’e ho mora ty hionjoñe mb’am-bohibohitse mb’eo.
And you responded to me: ‘We have sinned against the Lord. We will ascend and fight, just as the Lord our God has instructed.’ And having been equipped with weapons, when you were setting out for the mountain,
42 Le hoe t’Iehovà amako, Isaontsio ty hoe: Ko mionjom’ beo vaho ko mialy, amy te tsy añivo’ areo ao iraho tsy mone ho rotsak’ aolo’ o rafelahi’ areoo.
the Lord said to me: ‘Say to them: Do not ascend and do not fight. For I am not with you. Otherwise, you may fall in the sight of your enemies.’
43 Fe ndra te nivolañeko, tsy nihaoñe’ areo. Niola amy nandilia’ Iehovày, an-tsatrin-troke ty nionjona’ areo mb’ am-bohibohitse mb’eo.
I spoke, and you did not listen. But, opposing the order of the Lord, and swelling with pride, you ascended onto the mountain.
44 Niavotse, niatrek’ anahareo amy zao o nte-Amore mpimoneñe am-bohitseo vaho nihoridañe’e hoe rene tantele. Rinotsa’ iareo am-pibara e Seire pake Kormà añe.
And so, having gone forth, the Amorite, who was living in the mountains, came against you and pursued you, just as a swarm of bees would do. And he struck you down from Seir all the way to Hormah.
45 Aa le nibalike naho nirovetse añatrefa’ Iehovà, fe tsy hinao’ Iehovà ty fiarañanaña’ areo, tsy nanokilaña’e ravembia.
And when you returned and were weeping in the sight of the Lord, he would not hear you, nor was he willing to agree to your voice.
46 Aa le nitobe e Kadese ao ela ty amo andro nitoboha’ areoo.
Therefore, you camped at Kadesh-barnea for a long time.”
