Deotoronomia 1

1 Izao no teny izay nolazain’ i Mosesy tamin’ ny Isiraely rehetra tany an-dafin’ i Jordana, tany an-efitra, dia tany amin’ ny tani-hay tandrifin’ i Sofa, tanelanelan’ i Parana sy Tofela sy Labana sy Hazerota ary Dizahaba.

These [are] the words which Moses spoke to all Israel on this side Jordan in the desert towards the west near the Red Sea, between Pharan Tophol, and Lobon, and Aulon, and the gold works.

2 (lalana Iraika ambin’ ny folo andro Kadesi-barnea raha ao Horeba, raha ny lalana mahazo ny tendrombohitra Seïra no aleha.)

[It is] a journey of eleven days from Choreb to mount Seir as far as Cades Barne.

3 Ary tamin’ ny andro voalohany tamin’ ny volana fahiraika ambin’ ny folo tamin’ ny taona fahefa-polo dia niteny tamin’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely Mosesy, araka izay rehetra efa nandidian’ i Jehovah azy holazainy aminy,

And it came to pass in the forties year, in the eleventh month, on the first [day] of the month, Moses spoke to all the children of Israel, according to all things which the Lord commanded him for them:

4 rehefa namono an’ i Sihona, mpanjakan’ ny Amorita, ilay nonina tao Hesbona, sy Oga, mpanjakan’ i Basana, ilay nonina tao Astarta tany Edrehy, izy.

after he had struck Seon king of the Amorites who lived in Esebon, and Og the king of Basan who lived in Astaroth and in Edrain;

5 Tany an-dafin’ i Jordana, dia tany amin’ ny tany Moaba, no nanombohan’ i Mosesy nanazava izao lalàna izao hoe:

beyond Jordan in the land of Moab, Moses began to declare this law, saying,

6 Jehovah Andriamanitsika niteny tamintsika tany Horeba ka nanao hoe: Aoka izay ny itoeranareo amin’ ny tendrombohitra ity;

The Lord your God spoke to us in Choreb, saying, Let it suffice you to have lived [so long] in this mountain.

7 mihodìna ianareo, dia mandehana ka mankanesa any amin’ ny tany havoan’ ny Amorita sy any amin’ izay rehetra ao akaikiny, dia any amin’ ny tani-hay sy ny tany havoana sy ny tany lemaka amoron-tsiraka sy ny tany atsimo sy ny amoron’ ny ranomasina, dia any amin’ ny tanin’ ny Kananita sy any Libanona ka hatrany amin’ ny ony lehibe, dia ny ony Eofrata.

Turn you and depart and enter into the mountain of the Amorites, and [go] to all that dwell near about Araba, to the mountain and the plain and to the south, and the land of the Chananites near the sea, and Antilibanus, as far as the great river, the river Euphrates.

8 Indro, efa natolotro eo anoloanareo ny tany, idiro ka lovao ny tany izay efa nianianan’ i Jehovah tamin’ ny razanareo, Abrahama sy Isaka ary Jakoba, homena azy sy ny taranany mandimby azy.

Behold, [God] has delivered the land before you; go in and inherit the land, which I sware to your fathers, Abraam, and Isaac, and Jacob, to give it to them and to their seed after them.

9 Ary niteny taminareo tamin’ izany andro izany aho ka nanao hoe: Tsy zakako izaho irery ny hitondra anareo;

And I spoke to you at that time, saying, I shall not be able by myself to bear you.

10 Jehovah Andriamanitrareo efa nahamaro anareo, ary, indro, efa maro toy ny kintana eny amin’ ny lanitra ianareo izao.

The Lord your God has multiplied you, and, behold, you are today as the stars of heaven for multitude.

11 (Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny razanareo, anie hampitombo anareo ho arivo toraka izao ka hitahy anareo, araka izay efa nolazainy taminareo!)

The Lord God of your fathers add to you a thousand-fold more than you are, and bless you as he has spoken to you.

12 Hataoko izaho irery ahoana no fitondra ny fahasahirananareo sy ny entanareo any ny adinareo?

How shall I alone be able to bear your labour, and your burden, and your gainsayings?

13 Mifidiana izay lehilahy hendry sy manan-tsaina ary hita toetra amin’ ny firenenareo, ka hataoko ho lehibenareo izy.

Take to yourselves wise and understanding and prudent men for your tribes, and I will set your leaders over you.

14 Dia namaly ahy ianareo ka nanao hoe: Tsara ny teny izay nolazainao ka tokony hankatoavina.

And you answered me and said, The thing which you have told us [is] good to do.

15 Ary nalaiko ny lohan’ ny firenenareo, dia olona hendry sady hita toetra, ka nataoko mpifehy anareo, dia mpifehy arivo sy mpifehy zato sy mpifehy dimam-polo sy mpifehy folo ary mpitondra vahoaka amin’ ny firenenareo.

So I took of you wise and understanding and prudent men, and I set them to rule over you as rulers of thousands, and rulers of hundreds, and rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens, and officers to your judges.

16 Dia nandidy ny mpitsara anareo tamin’ izany andro izany aho ka nanao hoe: Henoy ny adin’ ny rahalahinareo, ka tsarao marina ny olona, na ny tompon-tany, na ny vahiny eo aminy.

And I charged your judges at that time, saying, Hear [causes] between your brethren, and judge rightly between a man and [his] brother, and the stranger that is with him.

17 Aza mizaha tavan’ olona amin’ ny fitsarana, fa henoy ny kely toy ny lehibe; aza matahotra olona akory, fa an’ Andriamanitra ny fitsarana; ary izay sarotra loatra aminareo dia ento etỳ amiko ka hohenoiko.

You shall not have respect to persons in judgement, you shall judge small and great equally; you shall not shrink from before the person of a man, for the judgement is God's; and whatever matter shall be too hard for you, you shall bring it to me, and I will hear it.

18 Dia nandidy anareo tamin’ izany andro izany aho ny amin’ ny zavatra rehetra izay hataonareo.

And I charged upon you at that time all the commands which you shall perform.

19 Ary nony niala tany Horeba isika, dia nandeha namaky ilay efitra lehibe sy mahatahotra izay hitanareo teny amin’ ny lalana mankany amin’ ny tany havoan’ ny Amorita, araka izay efa nandidian’ i Jehovah Andriamanitsika; dia tonga tao Kadesi-barnea isika.

And we departed from Choreb, and went through all that great wilderness and terrible, which you saw, by the way of the mountain of the Amorite, as the Lord our God charged us, and we came as far as Cades Barne.

20 Dia hoy izaho taminareo: Hianareo efa tonga eto amin’ ny tany havoan’ ny Amonita, izay omen’ i Jehovah Andriamanitsika ho antsika;

And I said to you, You have come as far as the mountain of the Amorite, which the Lord our God gives to you:

21 indro, efa natolotr’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrao eo anoloanao ny tany; iakaro izy ka lovao, araka izay nolazain’ i Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny razanao, taminao; aza matahotra na mivadi-po ianao.

behold, the Lord your God has delivered to us the land before you: go up and inherit it as the Lord God of your fathers said to you; fear not, neither be afraid.

22 Dia nanatona ahy ianareo rehetra ka nanao hoe: Aoka haniraka olona hialoha isika, mba hisafo ny tany ho antsika izy ka hitondra teny amintsika hilaza ny lalana izay halehantsika sy ny tanàna izay hiakarantsika.

And you all came to me, and said, Let us send men before us, and let them go up to the land for us; and let them bring back to us a report of the way by which we shall go up, and of the cities into which we shall enter.

23 Ary sitrako ny teny ka dia nifidy roa ambin’ ny folo lahy teo aminareo aho, may avy isam-pirenena;

And the saying pleased me: and I took of you twelve men, one man of a tribe.

24 ary niainga ireo ka niakatra tany amin’ ny tany havoana, dia tonga tao amin’ ny lohasaha Eskola ka nisafo ny tany;

And they turned and went up to the mountain, and they came as far as the valley of the cluster, and surveyed it.

25 dia nangalany ny vokatry ny tany ka nentiny nidina tamintsika, dia nilaza tamintsika hoe izy: Tsara ny tany izay omen’ i Jehovah Andriamanitsika ho antsika.

And they took in their hands of the fruit of the land, and brought it to you, and said, The land is good which the Lord our God gives us.

26 Kanefa tsy nety niakatra ianareo, fa nandà ny tenin’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrareo.

Yet you would not go up, but rebelled against the words of the Lord our God.

27 Dia nimonomonona tao an-dainareo ianareo ka nanao hoe: Halan’ i Jehovah isika, no nitondrany antsika nivoaka avy tany Egypta hanolorany antsika eo an-tànan’ ny Amorita handringanana antsika.

And you murmured in your tents, and said, Because the Lord hated us, he has brought us out of the land of Egypt to deliver us into the hands of the Amorites, to destroy us.

28 Ho aiza no hiakarantsika? Ny rahalahintsika efa nanaketraka ny fontsika tamin’ ny nanaovany hoe: Lehibe sy lava noho isika ny olona; ary ny tanàna dia lehibe sady misy mànda manakatra ny lanitra; ary efa hitanay teo koa ny taranaky ny Anakita.

Whither do we go up? and your brethren drew away your heart, saying, [It is a] great nation and populous, and mightier than we; and [there are] cities great and walled up to heaven: moreover we saw there the sons of the giants.

29 Dia hoy izaho taminareo: Aza manahy, any aza matahotra azy;

And I said to you, Fear not, neither be you afraid of them;

30 Jehovah Andriamanitrareo, Izay mandeha eo anoloanareo, Izy no hiady ho anareo, araka izay rehetra nataony ho anareo tany Egypta teo imasonareo,

the Lord your God who goes before your face, he shall fight against them together with you effectually, according to all that he wrought for you in the land of Egypt;

31 ary tany an-efitra, izay nahitanao ny fitondran’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrao anao tahaka ny fitondran’ ny olona ny zanany, dia teny amin’ ny lalana rehetra izay nalehanareo mandra-pahatonganareo teto amin’ ity tany ity.

and in this wilderness which you saw, by the way of the mountain of the Amorite; how the Lord your God will bear you as a nursling, as if any man should nurse his child, through all the way which you have gone until you came to this place.

32 Kanefa, na dia nataoko aza izany teny izany, mbola tsy ninoanareo ihany Jehovah Andriamanitrareo,

And in this matter you believed not the Lord our God,

33 Izay nandeha tamin’ ny lalana teo alohanareo hitady tany ho anareo hitobianareo, ka ny afo nony alina sy ny rahona nony antoandro no nisehoany hanoro izay lalana nety halehanareo.

who goes before you in the way to choose you a place, guiding you in fire by night, showing you the way by which you go, and a cloud by day.

34 Any nandre ny teninareo Jehovah, dia tezitra Izy ka nianiana hoe:

And the Lord heard the voice of your words, and being greatly provoked he sware, saying,

35 Tsy hisy olona mihitsy amin’ izao taranaka ratsy fanahy izao hahita ny tany soa izay nianianako homena ny razanareo,

Not one of these men shall see this good land, which I sware to their fathers,

36 afa-tsy Kaleba, zanak’ i Jefone; izy no hahita azy, any izy sy ny zanany no homeko ny tany izay nodiaviny, satria efa tanteraka tamin’ ny fanarahana an’ i Jehovah izy.

except Chaleb the son of Jephonne, he shall see it; and to him I will give the land on which he went up, and to his sons, because he attended to the things of the Lord.

37 Ary izaho koa dia notezeran’ i Jehovah noho ny aminareo ka nataony hoe: Hianao koa tsy hiditra any;

And the Lord was angry with me for your sake, saying, Neither shall you by any means enter therein.

38 fa Josoa, zanak’ i Nona, izay mitsangana eo anatrehanao, izy no hiditra any, koa izy no ampaherezo, fa izy no hampandova ny Zanak’ Isiraely ny tany.

Joshua the son of Naue, who stands by you, he shall enter in there; do you strengthen him, for he shall cause Israel to inherit it.

39 Ary ny zanakareo madinika, izay nolazainareo fa ho babo, any ny zanakareo izay tsy mahalala ny tsara sy ny ratsy amin’ izao andro izao, dia izy no hiditra any, ary izy no homeko ny tany, ary izy no handova azy.

And every young child who this day knows not good or evil, —they shall enter therein, and to them I will give it, and they shall inherit it.

40 Fa ianareo kosa dia miverena, ka mandehana any an-efitra, dia any amin’ ny lalana mankany amin’ ny Ranomasina Mena.

And you turned and marched into the wilderness, in the way by the Red Sea.

41 Dia namaly ianareo ka nanao tamiko hoe: Efa nanota tamin’ i Jehovah izahay; hiakatra ihany izahay ka hiady, araka izay rehetra nandidian’ i Jehovah Andriamanitsika antsika. Dia samy nivonona tamin’ ny fiadiany avy ianareo rehetra, ka nataonareo ho tsinontsinona ny hiakatra any an-tendrombohitra.

And you answered and said, We have sinned before the Lord our God; we will go up and fight according to all that the Lord our God has commanded us: and having taken every one his weapons of war, and being gathered together, you went up to the mountain.

42 Dia hoy Jehovah tamiko: Lazao aminy hoe: Aza miakatra ianareo, ary aza miady, fa tsy eo aminareo Aho; fandrao ho resy eo anoloan’ ny fahavalonareo ianareo.

And the Lord said to me, Tell them, You shall not go up, neither shall you fight, for I am not with you; thus shall you not be destroyed before your enemies.

43 Dia niteny taminareo aho, nefa tsy nihaino ianareo; ary nandà ny tenin’ i Jehovah ianareo, dia nanao sahisahy ka niakatra tany an-tendrombohitra ihany.

And I spoke to you, and you did not listen to me; and you transgressed the commandment of the Lord; and you forced your way and went up into the mountain.

44 Dia nivoaka hiady aminareo ny Amorita, izay nonina tamin’ izany tendrombohitra izany, ka nanenjika anareo tahaka ny fanenjiky ny reni-tantely, dia nandringana anareo tany Seïra ka hatrany Horma.

And the Amorite who lived in that mountain came out to meet you, and pursued you as bees do, and wounded you from Seir to Herma.

45 Dia niverina ianareo ka nitomany teo anatrehan’ i Jehovah; nefa tsy nihaino ny feonareo Jehovah, na nanongilana ny sofiny taminareo.

And you sat down and wept before the Lord our God, and the Lord listened not to your voice, neither did he take heed to you.

46 Dia nitoetra ela tao Kadesy ianareo, araka ny andro izay nitoeranareo tao.

And you lived in Cades many days, as many days as you lived [there].
