Deotoronomia 26
1 Aa ie fa nivotrak’ amy tane nampandovae’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’o azoy naho nitavane’o vaho imoneña’o:
Once you've entered the country that the Lord your God is giving you to own, and you take it over and settle there,
2 le ho rambese’o ty loha-voa’ ze voka’ i taney, le hendese’o boak’an-tane atolo’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’o azo le hajo’o an-karoñe ao vaho hasese’o mb’amy toetse ho joboñe’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’o hampipoha’e i Tahina’eiy mb’eo.
take some of the firstfruits of all your crops produced by the land that the Lord your God is giving you and place them in a basket. Then go to the place the Lord your God will choose to live with you,
3 Le hiheo mb’amy mpisoroñe mitoloñe amy andro zaiy irehe, hanao ty hoe ama’e: Taroñeko am’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’o androany, fa nivotrak’ an-tane nifantà’ Iehovà an-droaentika t’ie hatolo’e antika.
and tell the priest in charge at the time, “Today I declare to the Lord your God that I now live in the country that the Lord promised our forefathers to give us.”
4 Le ho rambese’ i mpisoroñey am-pità’o i haroñey vaho hapò’e aolo’ i kitreli’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’oy.
The priest will take the basket from you and place it in front of the altar of the Lord your God.
5 Le hanao ty ti-hoe irehe añatrefa’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’o: Nte-Arame, mpirererere ty raeko t’ie nionjoñe mb’e Mitsraime mb’eo, nitaveañe añe rekets’ ondaty tsy ampeampe vaho nitombo ho foko ra’elahy naho maozatse naho nifamorohotse.
Then this is what you are to publicly declare before the Lord your God, “My father was a Aramean who moved from place to place. There were only a few of them when he and his family went to live in Egypt. But they became a large and powerful nation.
6 Le nanao samporerake naho nampisoañe antika o nte-Mitsraimeo vaho niforekekè’ iereo ampandrohizañ’ ajale;
But the Egyptians treated us very badly, oppressing us and forcing us to do hard labor.
7 f’ie nikanjy am’ Iehovà Andrianañaharen-droaentika le jinanji’ Iehovà ty fiarañanañan-tika naho nivazohoe’e i fampisoañañey naho i fitromahañey vaho i famorekekeañe antikañey.
We cried out for help to the Lord, the God of our forefathers; and the Lord answered us as he saw how much we were suffering, forced to work so hard in such cruelty.
8 Le nampiavote’ Iehovà amy Mitsraime tika an-dela-pitàñe maozatse, naho am-pitàñe nitora-kitsy naho am-pangebahebahañe naho am-biloñe vaho am-pitoloñañe tsitantane.
The Lord led us out of Egypt with his great power and incredible strength and terrifying actions, signs and miracles.
9 Le nendese’e mb’ an-toetse atoy, vaho natolo’e antika o tane atoio, tane orikorihen-dronono naho tantele.
He brought us here and gave us this country, a land flowing with milk and honey.
10 Aa ingo, engaeko ty loha-voa’ i tane natolo’o ahiy ry Iehovà. Le hapo’o añatrefa’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’o vaho mitalahoa am’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’o.
Look, Lord! I have brought you the firstfruits of the land that you have given me.” You shall place the basket before the Lord your God and bow down in worship before him.
11 Le mirebeha amo hene hasoa natolo’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’o ama’o naho amy anjomba’oio, ihe naho i nte-Leviy, vaho i renetane ama’oy.
Then you, the Levites, and the foreigners who live with you are to celebrate all the good things the Lord your God has given to you and your family.
12 Aa naho nihenefe’o ty fañengañe ty faha-folom-bòka’o amy taom-pahateloy, i taom-pañengam-pahafoloy, naho fa finaha’o o nte-Levio, o renetaneo, naho o bode-raeo, vaho o vantotse an-drova’oo hikama’ iareo ho anjañe,
Once you've finished storing up a tenth of all your crops in the third year, (the year of the tithe), you shall give it to the Levites, the foreigners, the orphans, and the widows, so they will have enough to eat in your towns.
13 le hanao ty hoe irehe añatrefa’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’o, Fa nakareko an-trañoko ao o raha navahekoo, naho fa natoloko amo nte-Levio naho amo renetaneo naho amo bode-raeo naho amo vantotseo, ty amo hene lily nililie’o ahikoo; tsy nililareko ndra nihaliñoko o lili’oo.
Then you are to make this declaration in the presence of the Lord your God: “I have brought the holy tithe and I have given it to the Levite, the foreigners, the orphans, and the widows as you have ordered me to do. I have not broken or forgotten your commandments.
14 Tsy nihinanako te nandala, naho tsy nahajako t’ie naleotse, naho tsy nengaeko amo havilasio, fe nihaoñeko ty fiarañanaña’ Iehovà Andrianañahareko vaho nanoeko iaby o nandilia’o ahikoo.
I have not eaten any of the holy tithe while in mourning, or taken any of it while I was unclean, or used any of it as an offering for the dead. I have obeyed the Lord my God. I have done everything you ordered me to do.
15 Mivazohoa boak’ añ’ anjomba’o masiñe andikerañe ao, le tahio ondati’o Israeleo naho i tane natolo’o anaiy, amy nifantà’o aman-droae’aiy, i tane orikorihen-dronono naho tanteley.
Please look down from your home in heaven, and bless your people the Israelites and the country you have given us as you promised our fathers—a land flowing with milk and honey.”
16 Afanto’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’o azo androany te hanoe’o o fañè naho fepetse zao: le hambena’o naho hanoe’o an-kaampon’ arofo’o vaho an-kaliforam-pañova’o.
Today the Lord your God orders you to carry out these rules and regulations. Make sure you follow them with all your mind and with all your being.
17 Fa tinaro’o anindroany te Andrianañahare’o t’Iehovà, hañaveloa’o o lala’eo; naho hambena’o o fañè’eo, naho o lili’eo naho o fepè’eo vaho ho janjiñe’o i fiarañanaña’ey.
Today you have publicly declared that the Lord is your God and that you will follow his ways, keep rules and commandments and regulations, and obey what he says.
18 Nafè’ Iehovà anindroany te ihe ro vara-iso’e, ty amy nampitamae’e azoy, aa le hambena’o iaby o lili’eo.
Today the Lord has announced that you are a special people who belong to him as he promised. He has announced that you are to keep all his commandments.
19 Fa haonjo’e andigiligi’ ze hene foko namboare’e, am-pandrengea naho tahinañe naho hasiñe, vaho h’ondaty navaheñ’ am’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’o irehe, ty amy tsara’ey.
He has announced that he will give you greater praise and reputation and honor than any other nation he has made. He has announced that you will be a holy people to the Lord your God, as he promised.
