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.
This is the record of what Moses told all the Israelites during their time in the desert to the east of the Jordan. They were in the Arabah near Suph, between Paran on the one side and Tophel, Laban, Hazeroth, and Di-zahab on the other.
2 (Mahamodo andro folo-raik’ amby ty lia mb’e Kadàse-Barnèa mb’eo t’ie miary mb’e Vohi-Seire añe.)
(It takes eleven days to go from Horeb to Kadesh-barnea by the road that passes Mount Seir.)
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;
On the first day of the eleventh month of the fortieth year, Moses recounted to the Israelites everything that the Lord had instructed him to tell 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;
This happened after he defeated Sihon king of the Amorites, who ruled in Heshbon, and then at Edrei after he defeated Og king of Bashan, who ruled in Ashtaroth.
5 alafe’ Iardeney atoy, an-tane’ i Moabe, ty nimanea’ i Mosè halangesañe i Hake ami’ty hoe:
Speaking on the east side of the Jordan in the land of Moab, Moses began to explain these instructions, saying:
6 Nitsara aman-tika e Korebe añe t’Iehovà Andrianañaharentika nanao ty hoe: Ihe loho tambatse ami’ty vohitse toy:
The Lord our God told us at Horeb: “You have remained here beside this mountain for long enough.
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.
Continue your journey and go to the hill country of the Amorites and all their neighbors, into the Jordan Valley, into the hill country, into the foothills, into the Negev, and along the coast to the country of the Canaanites up to 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.
Look, I'm giving this land to you. Go and take ownership of the land that the Lord promised he would give to your fathers Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and to their descendants who would follow them.”
9 Ie amy zay nanao ty hoe ama’ areo iraho, Tsy lefeko ty mivave anahareo, izaho avao,
That's when I told you, “I can't take responsibility for all of you by myself.
10 fa nampanaranàhe’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’ areo ho mira ami’ty ia’ o vasian-dikerañeo androany.
The Lord your God has increased your numbers so much that today there are as many of you as there are stars in the sky.
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 forefathers, multiply you a thousand times and bless you as he has promised.
12 Fa aia ty hahavaveako, t’ie raike, ty fañangara’ areo naho ty fampioremeña’ areo vaho ty fampihohokohofa’ areo ahiko.
But how can I take on all your troubles, burdens, and arguments just by myself?
13 Tendreo o mahilala’ areoo, o mahihitseo naho o maharofoanañe amo rofoko’ areoo le hanoeko mpifehe’ areo.
You must choose for yourselves wise, experienced men with good judgment from each of your tribes, and I will put them in charge as your leaders.”
14 Le natoi’ areo ty hoe, Mete i nisaontsia’o hanoeñey.
You replied to me, saying, “Your proposal is a good one.”
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.
So I summoned your tribal leaders, men with good judgment, and put them in charge of you, as commanders and officials for your tribes. Some were responsible for thousands, some for hundreds, some for fifties, and some for tens.
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.
At the same time I gave strict instructions to your judges: “Hear the cases brought between your brothers, and make sure you are fair when you judge between a man and his brother or a foreigner living among you.
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.
Don't show any favoritism when you judge—treat the powerful and the common people just the same. Don't let anyone intimidate you, because judgment is done on God's behalf. Bring me any case that is too hard for you, and I will hear it.”
18 Aa le nililieko henane zay ze hene raha hanoe’ areo.
This was also the time I instructed you about everything you had 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,
Following the orders of the Lord our God, we left Horeb and set off towards the hill country of the Amorites, passing through the whole of the large and terrifying desert that you yourselves have experienced. When we reached Kadesh-barnea,
20 vaho hoe ty nanoeko: ie fa nandoak’ am-bohi’ o nte-Amoreo, i hatolo’ Iehovà Andrianañaharen-tika aman-tikañey.
I explained to you, “You have reached the hill country of the Amorites, which the Lord our God is giving 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.
Look, the Lord your God has given you the land! Go and take ownership of the land as the Lord, the God of your forefathers, has told you. Don't be frightened or terrified.”
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.
Then you all came to me and suggested, “Let's send men on ahead to explore the land and report back to us about what route to take and which towns we'll come across.”
23 Toe ninòko i saontsy zay, vaho rinambeko t’indaty folo-ro’ amby, songa raike ami’ty fifokoañe;
It seemed like a good plan to me, so I chose twelve of your men, one from each tribe.
24 le nitolike iereo nionjoñe mb’am-bohibohitse mb’eo naho nandoak’ am-bavatane Eskole vaho nitsoetsoek’ ao.
They set off and went up into the hill country as far as the Valley of Eshcol, exploring 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.
They brought back some of the country's fruit, carrying it down to us, and gave us the report: “The Lord our God is giving us good land.”
26 F’ie amy zay, tsy ni-mete nionjom-beo nahareo te mone niola ami’ty nandilia’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’ areo,
But you didn't want to go. You rebelled against the instructions of the Lord your 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 complained while you were in your tents and said, “It's because the Lord hates us that he led us out of Egypt in order to hand us over to the Amorites to be wiped out.
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.
Where are we going? Our brothers terrified us because they told us: ‘The people are bigger and taller than us; the towns are large, with high walls that reach the sky. We even saw the descendants of the giant Anak there!’”
29 Aa le nanoeko ty hoe, Ko irevendreveñañe, ko ihembañañe.
So I told you, “Don't be frightened or scared of them!
30 Iehovà Andrianañahare Mpiaolo ro hialy ho anahareo hambañe amy nanoe’e e Mitsraime añe aolom-pihaino’ areoy;
The Lord your God who leads your way will fight for you in the same way you saw him do for you in Egypt.
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.
He did the same in the desert—you saw how the Lord your God carried you like a father carries his son during your whole journey until you arrived here.”
32 F’ie amy zay, tsy natokisa’ areo t’Iehovà Andrianañahare’ areo,
Despite all this, you didn't trust 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 led you on the journey, present in the fire by night and in the cloud by day, looking to find a place for you to camp and to show you the way to go.
34 Ie jinanji’ Iehovà i feon’ enta’ areo zay, le niviñetse vaho nifanta ty hoe:
When the Lord heard what you were saying, he got angry and swore an oath:
35 Leo raik’ amo retoañe—o tariratse raty reo—tsy hahaisake i tane soa nifañinàko hatolotse aman-droae’ areoy,
“Not a single one of this evil generation will see the good land I promised to give your forefathers,
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, son of Jephunneh. He will see it, and I will give him and his descendants the land he explored, because he was completely committed to the Lord.”
37 Izaho ka niviñera’ Iehovà ty ama’ areo amy tsara’ey, ty hoe: Tsy himoak’ ao ka irehe.
The Lord also got angry with me because of you. He told me, “Even you won't enter the country.
38 I Iehosoa ana’ i None, mpitoro’oy, ty himoak’ ao; osiho amy t’ie ty hampandova Israele aze.
However, Joshua, son of Nun, your assistant, will enter it. Encourage him, for he will help Israel to occupy the land.
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 small children that you claimed would become prisoners, your children who at the time didn't know good from evil, they will be the ones to enter the land that I will give them, and they will occupy it.
40 F’inahareo ka, mitoliha naho mionjona mb’am-patrambey miary amy Ria-Binday mb’eo.
But now turn around and head back into the desert on the road that leads to 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.
But you answered and told me, “We have sinned against the Lord! We will go and we will fight and we will do everything the Lord our God has ordered us to do.” Then you all picked up your weapons and prepared for battle thinking it would be easy to go and fight in the hill country.
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.
But the Lord instructed me, “Order them not to go and fight because I won't be with you to prevent you from being defeated by 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 told you this, but you refused to listen. You defied the instructions of the Lord and arrogantly went to fight in the hill country.
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.
Then the Amorites living there in the hills came and attacked you. They chased after you like a swarm of bees, killing you all the way from Seir to Hormah.
45 Aa le nibalike naho nirovetse añatrefa’ Iehovà, fe tsy hinao’ Iehovà ty fiarañanaña’ areo, tsy nanokilaña’e ravembia.
You came back to camp and wept before the Lord, but he refused to listen to what you said or to pay attention to you.
46 Aa le nitobe e Kadese ao ela ty amo andro nitoboha’ areoo.
You stayed there in Kadesh for a long time.
