4 Nitaroñe’ i Mosè aman’ tika ty Hake, ho lova’ ty valobohò’ Iakòbe.
the law that Moses delivered to us that belongs to all the Israelites.
5 Ie ty ni-mpanjaka’ Iesorone, te nivory ty mpiaolo’ ondatio, rekets’ o fifokoa’ Israeleo.

Levi said that he didn't pay attention to his father and mother, that he didn't acknowledge his brothers, and that he didn't recognize his children. The Levites did what you said and kept your agreement.

with the finest contributions of the ancient mountains and the best materials of the everlasting hills;
16 naho amo harea’ ty tane toy amy halifora’eio, naho amy fatariha’ i nimoneñe an-drongoñe aoiy, ho tata ami’ty añ’ambone’ Iosefe, ambone’ ty añambone’ i miambak’ amo roandrian-droahalahi’eo.

May the bolts of your gate be strong as iron and bronze, and may you be strong all your life.”
26 Tsy añohatse t’i Andrianañahare, ry Iesorone, i miningitse andikerañey hañolora’e, naho amo rahoñeo am-bolonahe’e.
There is no one like the God of Israel, who rides across the heavens to come to help you; who rides the clouds in majesty.

How blessed you are, Israel! Is there anyone like you, a people saved by the Lord? He is the shield that protects you, the sword that gives you confidence. Your enemies will tremble before you, and you shall tread them underfoot.
