Deotoronomia 7
1 Ie asese’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’o mb’amy tane himoaha’o naho ho tavane’oy, naho asiotsio’e mb’ aolo’o mb’eo ty fifeheañe maro: o nte-Kiteo, o nte-Girgaseo, o nte-Amoreo, o nte-Kanàneo, o nte-Perizeo, o nte-Kiveo, vaho o nte-Iebosèo, fifeheañe fito maozatse naho maro te ama’o,
“When your God YHWH brings you into the land to where you are going in to possess it, and He has cast out many nations from your presence, the Hittite, and the Girgashite, and the Amorite, and the Canaanite, and the Perizzite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite, seven nations more numerous and mighty than you,
2 naho atolo’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’o ama’o vaho giohe’o, le tsy mete tsy mongore’o. Ko ifañina’o naho ko itretreza’o.
and your God YHWH has given them before you, then you have struck them—you utterly devote them—you do not make a covenant with them, nor do you favor them.
3 Ko ifangalam-baly, ko anolora’o anak’ ampela o ana-dahi’eo ndra andrambesan’ anak’ ampela i ana-dahi’oy,
And you do not join in marriage with them; you do not give your daughter to his son, and you do not take his daughter to your son,
4 amy te hampiambohoe’e ty ana’o tsy hañorik’ ahy hitoroñe ndrahare ila’e. Le hisolebotse ama’o ty haviñera’ Iehovà vaho harotsa’e aniany.
for he turns aside your son from after Me, and they have served other gods; and the anger of YHWH has burned against you and has destroyed you quickly.
5 Fe inao ty hanoa’o iareo; demoho o kitreli’ iareoo, kimokimoho o hazomanga’ iareoo, naho firao o Asere’ iareoo vaho ampiforototò an’ afo o vongan-draha sinokitseo.
But thus you do to them: you break down their altars, and you shatter their standing pillars, and you cut down their Asherim, and you burn their carved images with fire.
6 Ondaty miavake am’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’o irehe, ie jinobo’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’o amy ze kila ondaty ambone’ ty tane toy ho vara’e.
For you [are] a holy people to your God YHWH; your God YHWH has fixed on you, to be to Him for a peculiar people, out of all the peoples who [are] on the face of the ground.
7 Tsy t’ie nimaro ta ondaty ila’eo te napite’ Iehovà ama’ areo ty fikokoañe ndra ty fijoboña’e, toe nitsiampe te amy ze hene ondaty;
YHWH has delighted in you and fixes on you, not because of your being more numerous than any of the peoples, for you [are] the least of all the peoples,
8 fa ty fikokoa’ Iehovà anahareo naho ty nañambena’e i fañina nifantà’e aman-droae’ areoiy, ty nampiengà’ Iehovà anahareo an-dela-pità’e maozatse vaho nijebaña’e boak’amy trañom-pañondevozañey, hirik’ am-pità’ i Parò mpanjaka’ i Mitsraimey.
but because of YHWH’s loving you, and because of His keeping the oath which He has sworn to your fathers; YHWH has brought you out by a strong hand, and ransoms you from a house of servants, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt.
9 Mahafohina arè te toe Andrianañahare t’Iehovà Andrianañahare’o naho Andrianañahare migahiñe mpitam-pañina naho fiferenaiñañe amo mpikoko azeo vaho mañorike o lili’eo pak’an-tarira’e fah’arivo’,
And you have known that He, your God YHWH, [is] God, the faithful God keeping the covenant and the kindness with those loving Him and with those keeping His commands, for one thousand generations,
10 fe avaha’e an-dahara’ o manjehatse azeo. Tsy malaon-dre fa valea’e an-tarehe’e eo ze malaiñe aze.
and repaying to those hating Him to their face, to destroy them; He does not delay to him who is hating Him, He repays [it] to him to his face.
11 Aa le ambeno ty lily naho o fañè naho fepetse andiliako azo androanio, vaho oriho.
And you have kept the command, and the statutes, and the judgments, which I am commanding you today to do them.
12 Ie amy zao, naho haoñe’o o fañè rezao naho ambena’o naho orihe’o, le havotinti’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’o ama’o i fañina naho fikokoa-migahiñe nifantà’e aman-droae’oy;
And it has been, because you hear these judgments, and have kept and done them, that your God YHWH has kept the covenant and the kindness with you which He has sworn to your fathers,
13 ho kokoa’e irehe, ho tahie’e vaho hampibodobodoe’e; ho tahie’e ty vokan-kovi’o naho ty vokan-tane’o, ty ampemba’o, ty divai’o naho ty mena’o naho ty fitomboa’ o añombe’oo naho ty famorohotan-dia-rai’o amy tane nifañinà’e aman-droae’o hatolo’e azoy.
and has loved you, and blessed you, and multiplied you, and has blessed the fruit of your womb, and the fruit of your ground, your grain, and your new wine, and your oil, the increase of your oxen, and the wealth of your flock, on the ground which He has sworn to your fathers to give to you.
14 Ho soa-tahy amy ze kila ondaty irehe, tsy eo ty ho betsiterak’ aman-dahilahy ndra ampela, vaho tsy ho pok’anake o añombe’oo.
Blessed are you above all the peoples; there is not a barren man or a barren woman in you—nor among your livestock;
15 Hafaha’ Iehovà ama’o ze hene hasilofañe naho tsy hafetsa’e ama’o o angorosy nifohi’o e Mitsraime añeo, fe hapo’e amo malaiñ’ azoo.
and YHWH has turned aside every sickness from you, and none of the evil diseases of Egypt (which you have known) does He put on you, and He has put them on all hating you.
16 Fonga habotse’o ze ondaty atolo’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’o azo, ko iferenaiñam-pihaino’o vaho ko toroñe’o o ndrahare’ iareoo fa ho fandrik’ ama’o.
And you have consumed all the peoples whom your God YHWH is giving to you; your eye has no pity on them, and you do not serve their gods, for it [is] a snare to you.
17 Ie manao ty hoe an-troke ao: Maro te amako o rofoko zao, aia ty hanoako soike iareo.
When you say in your heart, These nations [are] more numerous than I, how am I able to dispossess them?
18 Ko ihembaña’o, tiahio avao ty nanoe’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’o amy Parò naho amy Mitsraime iaby,
You are not afraid of them; you surely remember that which your God YHWH has done to Pharaoh and to all of Egypt,
19 o fitsohañe ra’elahy niisam-pihaino’oo, o viloñeo naho o raha tsitantaneo, i lela-pitàñe maozatsey naho i fitàñe natora-kitsi’e nañavota’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’o boak’añey, ro mbe hanoe’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’o amy ze hene ondaty irevendreveña’o,
the great trials which your eyes have seen, and the signs, and the wonders, and the strong hand, and the outstretched arm, with which your God YHWH has brought you out; so does your God YHWH do to all the peoples of whose presence you are afraid.
20 vaho hampisangitrife’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’o am’ iareo ty fanenetse, ampara’ te fonga miantantiry ze sehanga’e mietake.
And your God YHWH also sends the locust among them, until the destruction of those who are left, even those who are hidden from your presence;
21 Ko miriatsandry am’ iareo, amy te añivo’o ao t’Iehovà Andrianañahare’o; Andrianañahare jabahinake naho mampañeveñe.
you are not terrified by their presence, for your God YHWH [is] in your midst, a God great and fearful.
22 Hasiotsio’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’o aolo’o mb’eo erike o rofoko rezay; f’ie tsy ho fonga mongore’o aniany tsy mone ho losotse ama’o o bibin-kivokeo.
And your God YHWH has cast out these nations from your presence little [by] little (you are not able to consume them quickly, lest the beast of the field multiplies against you),
23 Toe hatolo’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’o ama’o iereo, vaho ho rotsahe’e am-pandrebahañe ra’elahy am-para’ te zamane’e iaby.
and your God YHWH has given them before you, and confused them [with] a great destruction until their being destroyed;
24 Hatolo’e am-pità’o o mpanjaka’eo vaho ho faopaohe’o ambanen-dikerañe atoy ty tahina’ iareo, tsy eo t’indaty hahafiatreatre azo, am-para’ te narotsa’o.
and He has given their kings into your hand, and you have destroyed their name from under the heavens; no man stations himself in your presence until you have destroyed them.
25 Ho forototoe’ areo ze saren-drahare’ iareo. Ko tsikirihe’o ty volafoty ndra volamena ama’e ndra mandrambe aze ho azo, fa ho fandrik’ ama’o, toe tiva amy Iehovà Andrianañahare’o.
You burn the carved images of their gods with fire; you do not desire the silver and gold on them, nor have you taken [it] for yourself, lest you are snared by it, for it [is] an abomination [to] your God YHWH;
26 Ko minday raha tiva añ’anjomba’o ao ke hindre hafàtse ama’e irehe. Vata’e hejeo naho apoho hoe mampangory, ie fa navike harotsake.
and you do not bring in an abomination to your house, or you have been devoted like it—you utterly detest it and you utterly abhor it; for it [is] devoted.”
