< Deotoronomia 26 >
1 Aa ie fa nivotrak’ amy tane nampandovae’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’o azoy naho nitavane’o vaho imoneña’o:
“After you occupy the land that Yahweh our God is giving to you, and you (have settled/are living) 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.
[each of] you must take some of the first crops that you harvest, put them in a basket, and take them to the place that Yahweh will have chosen for you to worship [MTY] there.
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.
Go to the Supreme Priest who is serving at that time and say to him, ‘[By giving you this first part of my harvest] today, I am declaring to Yahweh our God that I have [picked it in] the land that he vowed to our ancestors to give to us.’
4 Le ho rambese’ i mpisoroñey am-pità’o i haroñey vaho hapò’e aolo’ i kitreli’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’oy.
Then the priest must take the basket of food from your hand and put it on the altar where sacrifices are offered to Yahweh our 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 in Yahweh’s presence you must say this: ‘My ancestor [Jacob] was a man from Aram/Syria who was continually wandering [from one place to another]. He took his family to Egypt. They were a small group [when they went there], but they lived there and their descendants became a very large/populous [DOU] and powerful nation.
6 Le nanao samporerake naho nampisoañe antika o nte-Mitsraimeo vaho niforekekè’ iereo ampandrohizañ’ ajale;
Then the people of Egypt treated them very harshly [DOU], and they forced them to become their slaves and to work very hard.
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.
Then our ancestors cried out to you, Yahweh our God, and you heard them. You saw that they were suffering, and that they were forced to work very hard, and were being oppressed.
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.
Then by your great power [MTY] and by performing many kinds of miracles [DOU], and other terrifying things, you brought them out of Egypt.
9 Le nendese’e mb’ an-toetse atoy, vaho natolo’e antika o tane atoio, tane orikorihen-dronono naho tantele.
You brought us to this land and gave it to us, a land that is very fertile [IDM].
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.
So now, Yahweh, I have brought to you the first part of the harvest from the land that I received.’ Then you must set the basket down in Yahweh’s presence and worship him there.
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.
And you must celebrate [by eating a meal together to thank] Yahweh our God for all the good things that he has given to you and to your family. And you must invite the descendants of Levi and the foreigners who are living among you to also rejoice [and eat] with you.
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,
Every third year, you must bring to the descendants of Levi and to the foreigners [who are living among you] and the orphans and the widows (a tithe/10 percent) of your crops, in order that in every town they will have plenty to eat.
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 must say to Yahweh, ‘I have brought to you, from my house, all of the sacred tithe [from my harvest this year]. I am giving it to the descendants of Levi, to the foreigners, the orphans, and the widows, as you commanded us to do. I have not disobeyed any of your commands [about the tithes], and I have not forgotten any of your commands [about tithes].
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 declare that] I have not eaten any food from the tithe while I was mourning [for someone who died]. And I have not touched any of it while I was unacceptable to you; I have not offered any of it to [spirits of] dead people. Yahweh, I have obeyed you and done everything that you have commanded us [concerning the tithe].
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.
So [please] look down from your holy place in heaven, and bless us, your Israeli people. Also bless this very fertile [IDM] land which you have given to us, which is what you promised our ancestors that you would do.’
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 Yahweh our God is commanding you to obey all these rules and regulations. So obey them faithfully, with your entire inner being [DOU].
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 declared that Yahweh is your God, and that you will conduct your lives as he wants you to do, and that you will obey all his commands and rules and regulations, and that you will do all that he tells you to do.
18 Nafè’ Iehovà anindroany te ihe ro vara-iso’e, ty amy nampitamae’e azoy, aa le hambena’o iaby o lili’eo.
And today Yahweh has declared that you are his people, which is what he promised that you would be, and he commands you to obey all his commands.
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.
If you do that, he will cause you to become greater than any other nation that he has established, and he will enable you to praise him and honor him [DOU]. You will truly belong to Yahweh our God, which is what he has promised.”
