Deotoronomia 4

1 Ie amy zao ry Israele, janjiño o fañè naho fepètse añòhako anahareo hanoeñeo, soa t’ie ho veloñe hahafimoake vaho handova i tane atolo’ Iehovà Andrianañaharen-droae’ areo ama’areoy.

And now give ear, O Israel, to the laws and the decisions which I am teaching you, and do them; so that life may be yours, and you may go in and take for yourselves the land which the Lord, the God of your fathers, is giving you.

2 Ko tovoña’ areo o tsara liliekoo naho ko añafahañe, vaho ambeno o lili’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’ areo afantoko ama’ areoo.

Make no addition to the orders which I give you, and take nothing from them, but keep the orders of the Lord your God which I give you.

3 Niisam-pihaino’areo ty nanoe’ Iehovà amy Baale-Peore, ty amo fonga ondaty nañorike i Baale-Peoreo; fa narotsa’ Iehovà Andria­na­ñahare’o ama’areo irezay—indaty nañorike i Baal-peore rey,

Your eyes have seen what the Lord did because of Baal-peor: for destruction came from the Lord on all those among you who went after Baal-peor.

4 f’ie nifahatse am’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’ areo, le songa veloñe androany.

But you who kept faith with the Lord are living, every one of you, today.

5 Ingo te nanareko o fañè naho fepetse nafanto’ Iehovà Andria­nañahareko amakoo hañoriha’ areo an-tane himoaha’ areo ho lovae’ areo henaneo.

I have been teaching you laws and decisions, as I was ordered to do by the Lord my God, so that you might keep them in the land to which you are going to take it for your heritage.

6 Aa le oriho naho anò, fa izay ty hihi’ areo naho ty hilala’ areo am-pahaisaha’ ondatio, le ie mahajanjiñe o hene fañèo ro hanao ty hoe: Toe ondaty mahihitse naho mahilala ty foko ra’elahy tiañe.

So keep these laws and do them; for so will your wisdom and good sense be clear in the eyes of the peoples, who hearing all these laws will say, Truly, this great nation is a wise and far-seeing people.

7 Fa ia ty foko aman-drahare hañirinkiriñe Iehovà Andrianañaharen-tika, mpanoiñe ndra mbia’ mbia ikanjiantika.

For what great nation has a god so near to them as the Lord our God is, whenever we are turned to him in prayer?

8 Ia ka ty foko amam-pañè naho fepètse vantañe manahake i Hake fonitse taroñeko ama’ areo androaniy.

And what great nation has laws and decisions so right as all this law which I put before you today?

9 Aa le mitomira, vontitiro añ’ arofo tsy mone handikofa’ areo o raha ni­isam-pihaino’ areoo vaho ko anga’ areo himolaotse am-pitsa­koreañe amo hene andro hiveloma’ areoo; fe ampaharen­dreho o ana’ areoo naho o afe’ areoo,

Only take care, and keep watch on your soul, for fear that the things which your eyes have seen go from your memory and from your heart all the days of your life; but let the knowledge of them be given to your children and to your children's children;

10 mentsake i nijohaña’ areo añatrefa’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’ areo e Korebey, ie nanao ty hoe amako t’Iehovà, Atontono ondatio hijanjiñe o fivolakoo, hioha’ iareo ty hañeveñ’ amako amo hene andro hiveloma’ iareo an-tane atoio, vaho hanare’ iereo hanao izay ka o keleia’eo.

That day when you were waiting before the Lord your God in Horeb, and the Lord said to me, Make all the people come together, so that hearing my words they may go in fear of me all the days of their life on earth and give this teaching to their children.

11 Aa ie nitotoke mb’eo le nijohañe ambane’ i vohitsey, naho nilebalebà’ ty afo naneñateña i likerañey i vohitsey ie nisaroñan-drahoñe nimoromoroñe.

And you came near, waiting at the foot of the mountain; and flames of fire went up from the mountain to the heart of heaven, with dark clouds, and all was black as night.

12 Le nitsara ama’ areo boak’amy afoy t’Iehovà. Jinanji’ areo ty feo’ i tsaray, fe tsy niisa’ areo ty vinta’e, i fiarañanañañey avao.

And the voice of the Lord came to you out of the fire: the sound of his words came to your ears but you saw no form; there was nothing but a voice.

13 Tsinei’e ama’ areo i fañina linili’e ama’ areo horiheñey: i tsara folo pinate’e am-bato roe rey.

And he gave you his agreement with you, the ten rules which you were to keep, which he put in writing on the two stones of the law.

14 Le nafanto’ Iehovà amako henane zay ty hañohako anahareo o fañè naho fepètse hañoriha’ areo an-tane hitsaha’ areo ho lovaeñeo.

And the Lord gave me orders at that time to make clear to you these laws and decisions, so that you might do them in the land to which you are going, and which is to be your heritage.

15 Aa kanao tsy nahaonim-bintañe nahareo te nitsara ama’ areo e Korebe añe boak’añ’ afo ao t’Iehovà, le mitomira,

So keep watch on yourselves with care; for you saw no form of any sort on the day when the voice of the Lord came to you in Horeb out of the heart of the fire:

16 tsy mone hameta vatañe am-pitseneañe saren-draha ho anahareo ami’ty vintañ’ inoñ’ inoñe—ke lahy he ampela,

So that you may not be turned to evil ways and make for yourselves an image in the form of any living thing, male or female,

17 ke amam-bintam-bibi’ ty tane toy, he amam-bintam-boroñe aman’ elatse miti­liñe amo tiokeo,

Or any beast of the earth, or winged bird of the air,

18 ke amam-bintan-draha milalilaly an-tane, he amam-binta’ ze fiañe an-drano ambane’ tane ao.

Or of anything which goes flat on the earth, or any fish in the water under the earth.

19 Le he miandra mb’ andikerañey irehe mahaisake i àndroy, i volañey, naho o vasiañeo, naho i valobohòn-dikerañey, vaho mivik’ mb’a­ma’e naho mibabok’ ama’e hitoroñe irezay, o natolo’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’o amy ze kila ondaty ambanen-dikerañeo.

And when your eyes are lifted up to heaven, and you see the sun and the moon and the stars, all the army of heaven, do not let yourselves be moved to give them worship, or become the servants of what the Lord has given equally to all peoples under heaven.

20 Fe rinambe’ Iehovà nahareo le hinaha’e amy fampi­tranaham-biy ao, boake Mitsraime añe, ho ondatim-panaña’e: le ie henaneo.

But the Lord has taken you out of the flaming fire, out of Egypt, to be to him the people of his heritage, as you are today.

21 Ie amy zao niviñetse amako t’Iehovà ty ama’ areo, ie nametse te tsy hitsahako Iardeney vaho tsy himoahako i tane fanjaka atolo’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’o azo ho lovay;

And the Lord was angry with me because of you, and made an oath that I was not to go over Jordan into the good land which the Lord is giving you for your heritage:

22 f’ie hikenkañe an-tane atoy, tsy hitsake Iardeney; f’inahareo ro hitsake naho hitavañe i tane fanjakay.

But death is to come to me in this land, I may not go over Jordan: but you will go over and take that good land for your heritage.

23 Aa le mitaoa tsy handikofa’ areo i fañina nanoe’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’ areo ama’ areoy ke hitsene sarem-bintañe, ke sareñ-inoñ’ inoñe nan­drara’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’o azo.

Take care that you do not let the agreement of the Lord your God, which he has made with you, go out of your mind, or make for yourselves images of any sort, against the orders which the Lord your God has given you.

24 Fa afo mahaforototo t’Iehovà Andriana­ñahare’o, Andrianañahare Mpamarahy.

For the Lord your God is an all-burning fire, and he will not let the honour which is his be given to any other.

25 Ie nahatoly anake naho afe naho fa nierañerañe ela an-tane ao, naho manao hakarapiloañe am-pitseneañe sarem-bintañe ke sareñ-inoñ’ inoñe vaho manao tiva am-pivazohoa’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’o, hikaiha’ areo ty haviñera’e,

If, when you have had children and children's children, and have been living a long time in the land, you are turned to evil ways, and make an image of any sort, and do evil in the eyes of the Lord your God, moving him to wrath:

26 le ho koiheko henaneo i like­rañey naho ty tane toy hitalily ama’ areo t’ie kila hihomak’ aniany an-tane himoaha’ areo am-pitsa­hañe Iardeney, handova’ areo, le tsy ho lava-ohatse fa ho vata’e mon­goreñe.

May heaven and earth be my witnesses against you today, that destruction will quickly overtake you, cutting you off from that land which you are going over Jordan to take; your days will not be long in that land, but you will come to a complete end.

27 Ie hampiparaitahe’ Iehovà am’ ondatio añe; toe tsy ampeampe ty ho sehanga’ areo amo kilakila ondaty handroaha’ Iehovà anahareoo.

And the Lord will send you wandering among the peoples; only a small band of you will be kept from death among the nations where the Lord will send you.

28 Ho toroñe’ areo añe ty ‘ndrahare rinanjim-pità’ ondaty; hatae naho vato, songa tsy maha­trea, tsy mahatsanoñe, tsy maha-filintseñe vaho tsy maha-antsoñe.

There you will be the servants of gods, made by men's hands, of wood and stone, having no power of seeing or hearing or taking food or smelling.

29 Aa ie añe ro hipaia’ areo Iehovà Andria­nañahare’o, le ho oni’o naho tsoehe’o añ-kaampon’arofo naho an-kaliforam-pañova.

But if in those lands you are turned again to the Lord your God, searching for him with all your heart and soul, he will not keep himself from you.

30 Ie ami’ty falovilovia’o, naho fa hene nifetsaha’ irezay amo andro añeo, le himpoly am’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’o vaho ho haoñe’o i fiarañanaña’ey;

When you are in trouble and all these things have come on you, if, in the future, you are turned again to the Lord your God, and give ear to his voice:

31 Amy te Andrianañahare tretram-po t’Iehovà Andrianañahare’o, tsy haforintse’e, tsy hampimodoe’e; tsy ho haliño’e i fañina aman-droae’o nifantà’e am’ iereoy.

Because the Lord your God is a God of mercy, he will not take away his help from you or let destruction overtake you, or be false to the agreement which he made by an oath with your fathers.

32 Ie amy zao añontaneo o sa haehaeo, o taolo’oo, ampara’ i andro nitsenen’ Añahare ondaty an-tane atoio; añontaneo boak’ añ’olon-dikerañ’ añe pak’ añ’olo’e ka; he teo ty nifetsahan-draha tsitantane hoe itiañe, ke eo ty nahajanjin-ty mañirinkiriñe aze?

Give thought now to the days which are past, before your time, from the day when God first gave life to man on the earth, and searching from one end of heaven to the other, see if such a great thing as this has ever been, or if anything like it has been talked of in story.

33 Aa vaho eo hao t’indaty nahajanjiñe ty fiarañanañan’ Añahare nitsara ama’e boak’ añ’afo ao, manahake i jinanji’oy, t’ie mbe veloñe?

Has any people ever gone on living after hearing the voice of God out of the heart of the fire as you did?

34 Hera teo ty ‘ndrahare nimane hangalake foko ho am-bata’e boak’ amo kilakila’ ondatio am-pitsohañe naho am-biloñe naho an-draha tsitantane vaho añ’ aly, andela-pitàñe maozatse naho am-pitàñe natora-kitsy, am-pampiboahan-kao­zarañe mahalatsa manahake o hene nanoe’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’ areo ho anahareo e Mitsraime añe añatrefam-pihaino’oo?

Has God ever before taken a nation for himself from out of another nation, by punishments and signs and wonders, by war and by a strong hand and a stretched-out arm and great acts of wonder and fear, as the Lord your God did for you in Egypt, before your very eyes?

35 Ie nampiboaheñe ama’o, hatokisa’o te toe Andrianañahare t’Iehovà; le tsy eo naho tsy ie avao.

All this he let you see, so that you might be certain that the Lord is God and there is no other.

36 Nampijanjiñe’e azo boak’andikerañe ao ty fiarañanaña’e hanoroa’e azo, naho nampiboaha’e an-tane atoy ty afo’e jabajaba, vaho jinanji’o boak’ amy afoy o tsara’eo.

Out of heaven itself his voice came to you, teaching you; and on earth he let you see his great fire; and his words came to your ears out of the heart of the fire.

37 Kanao nikokoa’e o roae’oo, le jinobo’e o tariratse nandimbe iareoo, naho nampi­engà’e i Mitsraime amy fiatrefa’e naho an-kaozara’e ra’elahy

And because of his love for your fathers, he took their seed and made it his, and he himself, present among you, took you out of Egypt by his great power;

38 hanoe’e soik’ aolo’o eo o rofoko maozatse naho bey te ama’oo, hampihova’e azo ao, hitolora’e i tane’ iareoy ho lova’o, le ie henaneo.

Driving out before you nations greater and stronger than you, to take you into their land and give it to you for your heritage, as at this day.

39 Aa le mahafohina androany vaho vontitiro añ’ arofo ao te Andrianañahare andikerañe ao naho an-tane am­bane’e atoy t’Iehovà, tsy aman-tovo’e.

So today be certain, and keep the knowledge deep in your hearts, that the Lord is God, in heaven on high and here on earth; there is no other God.

40 Ambeno o fañè’eo naho o lili’eo; o andili­ako azo androanio hahasoa azo naho ty tariratse hanonjohy azo soa t’ie ho tamañe an-tane atolo’ Iehovà Andriana­ñahare’o azo ho nainai’e donia.

Then keep his laws and his orders which I give you today, so that it may be well for you and for your children after you, and that your lives may be long in the land which the Lord your God is giving you for ever.

41 Le navì’ i Mosè ty rova telo alafe’ Iardeney mb’am-panjiriha’ i àndroy mb’ atoy

Then Moses had three towns marked out on the far side of Jordan looking to the east;

42 hivoratsaha’ ty namono-ondaty, ie namono ondaty tsy an-tsatri’e, ie le lia’e tsy nimpirafelahy ama’e taolo, le mete hitriban-day mb’ami’ty raik’ amy rova fitsolohañe rey himoneña’e:

To which anyone causing the death of his neighbour in error and not through hate, might go in flight; so that in one of these towns he might be kept from death:

43 i Betsere am-patrambey an-tane mira ho a’ o nte-Reòbeneo, i Ramote e Gileade ao ho a’ o nte-Gadeo, vaho i Golane e Basane ao ho a’ o nte-Menasèo.

The names of the towns were Bezer in the waste land, in the table-land, for the Reubenites; and Ramoth in Gilead for the Gadites; and Golan in Bashan for Manasseh.

44 Zao ty Hake nitaroñe’ i Mosè amo ana’ Israeleo.

This is the law which Moses put before the children of Israel:

45 Zao o taroñe naho fañè naho fepètse nisaontsie’ i Mosè amo ana’ Israeleo, ie fa niavotse i Mitsraimeo,

These are the rules and the laws and the decisions which Moses gave to the children of Israel after they came out of Egypt;

46 alafe’ Iardeney atoy am-bavatane tandrife i Bete-peore, an-tane’ i Sihone mpanjaka’ i Amore nimoneñe e Khesbone, i ginio’ i Mosè naho o ana’ Israeleo, ie fa nienga i Mitsraimey.

On the far side of Jordan, in the valley facing Beth-peor, in the land of Sihon, king of the Amorites, who was ruling in Heshbon, whom Moses and the children of Israel overcame after they had come out of Egypt:

47 Nimoneña’ iereo i taney naho an-tane’ i Oge mpanjaka’ i Basane, ty mpanjaka roe’ o nte-Amoreo alafe’ Iardeney mb’ am-panjirihan’ andro atoañe,

And they took his land for a heritage, and the land of Og, king of Bashan, the two kings of the Amorites, whose lands were on the other side of Jordan to the east;

48 mifototse e Aroere añ’olom-bavatane Arnone eo pak’ am-bohi-Sione añe (i Kermòne izay)

From Aroer on the edge of the valley of the Arnon as far as Mount Sion, which is Hermon,

49 naho i ratraratra iaby atiñana’ Iardene añey pak’ an-dRiak’Arabà ampoton-kerakera’ i Pisgà eo.

And all the Arabah on the far side of Jordan to the east, as far as the sea of the Arabah under the slopes of Pisgah.
