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 [Drawn out] spoke to all Israel [God prevails] beyond the Jordan [Descender] in the wilderness, in the Arabah over against Suf, between Paran, Tophel, Laban [White], Hazeroth, and Dizahab.
2 (lalana Iraika ambin’ ny folo andro Kadesi-barnea raha ao Horeba, raha ny lalana mahazo ny tendrombohitra Seïra no aleha.)
It is eleven days’ journey from Horeb [Desert] by the way of Mount Seir to Kadesh Barnea [Consecrated Son-inconstant].
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,
In the fortieth year, in the eleventh month, on the first day of the month, Moses [Drawn out] spoke to the children of Israel [God prevails], according to all that Adonai had given Moses [Drawn out], words of enjoinings to 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 Sihon the king of the Amorites [Descendants of Talkers], who lived in Heshbon, and Og the king of Bashan, who lived in Ashtaroth, at Edrei.
5 Tany an-dafin’ i Jordana, dia tany amin’ ny tany Moaba, no nanombohan’ i Mosesy nanazava izao lalàna izao hoe:
Beyond the Jordan [Descender], in the land of Moab [From father], Moses [Drawn out] began to declare this Torah ·Teaching·, saying,
6 Jehovah Andriamanitsika niteny tamintsika tany Horeba ka nanao hoe: Aoka izay ny itoeranareo amin’ ny tendrombohitra ity;
“Yahweh Eloheikhem [Yahweh our God] spoke to us in Horeb [Desert], saying, ‘You have lived long enough at 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, and take your journey, and go to the hill country of the Amorites [Descendants of Talkers], and to all the places near there, in the Arabah, in the hill country, and in the lowland, and in the South, and by the seashore, the land of the Canaanites [Descendants of Humbled], and Lebanon, as far as the great river, the river Euphrates [Fruitful].
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, I have set the land before you. Go in and possess the land which Adonai swore to your fathers, to Abraham [Father of a multitude], to Isaac [Laughter], and to Jacob [Supplanter], to give to them and to their offspring after them.’”
9 Ary niteny taminareo tamin’ izany andro izany aho ka nanao hoe: Tsy zakako izaho irery ny hitondra anareo;
I spoke to you at that time, saying, “I am not able to bear you myself alone.
10 Jehovah Andriamanitrareo efa nahamaro anareo, ary, indro, efa maro toy ny kintana eny amin’ ny lanitra ianareo izao.
Adonai your God has multiplied you, and behold, you are today as the stars of the sky for multitude.
11 (Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny razanareo, anie hampitombo anareo ho arivo toraka izao ka hitahy anareo, araka izay efa nolazainy taminareo!)
Adonai, the God of your fathers, make you a thousand times as many as you are, and bless you, as he has promised you!
12 Hataoko izaho irery ahoana no fitondra ny fahasahirananareo sy ny entanareo any ny adinareo?
How can I myself alone bear your problems, your burdens, and your strife?
13 Mifidiana izay lehilahy hendry sy manan-tsaina ary hita toetra amin’ ny firenenareo, ka hataoko ho lehibenareo izy.
Take wise men of understanding and well known according to your tribes, and I will make them heads over you.”
14 Dia namaly ahy ianareo ka nanao hoe: Tsara ny teny izay nolazainao ka tokony hankatoavina.
You answered me, and said, “The thing which you have spoken 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 the heads of your tribes, wise men, and known, and made them heads over you, captains of thousands, and captains of hundreds, and captains of fifties, and captains of tens, and officers, according to your tribes.
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.
I enjoined your judges at that time, saying, “Sh'ma ·Hear obey· cases between your brothers, and judge righteously between a man and his brother, and the foreigner who is living 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 show partiality in judgment; you shall sh'ma ·hear obey· the small and the great alike. You shall not be afraid of the face of man, for the judgment is God’s. The case that is too hard for you, you shall bring to me, and I will sh'ma ·hear obey· it.”
18 Dia nandidy anareo tamin’ izany andro izany aho ny amin’ ny zavatra rehetra izay hataonareo.
I enjoined you at that time all the things which you should do.
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.
We traveled from Horeb [Desert], and went through all that great and terrible wilderness which you saw, by the way to the hill country of the Amorites [Descendants of Talkers], as Yahweh Eloheikhem [Yahweh our God] enjoined us; and we came to Kadesh Barnea [Consecrated Son-inconstant].
20 Dia hoy izaho taminareo: Hianareo efa tonga eto amin’ ny tany havoan’ ny Amonita, izay omen’ i Jehovah Andriamanitsika ho antsika;
I said to you, “You have come to the hill country of the Amorites [Descendants of Talkers], which Yahweh Eloheikhem [Yahweh our God] gives to us.
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, Adonai your God has set the land before you. Go up, take possession, as Adonai, the God of your fathers, has spoken to you. Don’t be afraid, neither be dismayed.”
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.
You came near to me, everyone of you, and said, “Let us send men before us, that they may search the land for us, and bring us word again of the way by which we must go up, and the cities to which we shall come.”
23 Ary sitrako ny teny ka dia nifidy roa ambin’ ny folo lahy teo aminareo aho, may avy isam-pirenena;
The thing pleased me well. I took twelve men of you, one man for every tribe.
24 ary niainga ireo ka niakatra tany amin’ ny tany havoana, dia tonga tao amin’ ny lohasaha Eskola ka nisafo ny tany;
They turned and went up into the hill country, and came to the valley of Eshcol, and spied it out.
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.
They took some of the fruit of the land in their hands, and brought it down to us, and brought us word again, and said, “It is a good land which Yahweh Eloheikhem [Yahweh our God] gives to us.”
26 Kanefa tsy nety niakatra ianareo, fa nandà ny tenin’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrareo.
Yet you wouldn’t go up, but rebelled against the order of Adonai your 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.
You murmured in your tents, and said, “Because Adonai hated us, he has brought us out of the land of Egypt [Abode of slavery], to deliver us into the hand of the Amorites [Descendants of Talkers], 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.
Where are we going up? Our brothers have made our heart melt, saying, ‘The people are greater and taller than we. The cities are great and fortified up to the sky. Moreover we have seen the sons of the Anakim there!’”
29 Dia hoy izaho taminareo: Aza manahy, any aza matahotra azy;
Then I said to you, “Don’t dread, neither be 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,
Adonai your God who goes before you, he will fight for you, according to all that he did for you in Egypt [Abode of slavery] before your eyes,
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 the wilderness, where you have seen how that Adonai your God bore you, as a man does bear his son, in all the way that you went, until you came to this place.”
32 Kanefa, na dia nataoko aza izany teny izany, mbola tsy ninoanareo ihany Jehovah Andriamanitrareo,
Yet in this thing you didn’t believe Adonai your 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 went before you on the way, to seek out a place for you to pitch your tents in, in fire by night, to show you by what way you should go, and in the cloud by day.
34 Any nandre ny teninareo Jehovah, dia tezitra Izy ka nianiana hoe:
Adonai sh'ma ·heard obeyed· the voice of your words, and was angry, and swore, saying,
35 Tsy hisy olona mihitsy amin’ izao taranaka ratsy fanahy izao hahita ny tany soa izay nianianako homena ny razanareo,
“Surely not one of these men of this evil generation shall see the good land, which I swore to give to your 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 Caleb the son of Jephunneh. He shall see it. I will give the land that he has trodden on to him, and to his children, because he has wholly followed Adonai.”
37 Ary izaho koa dia notezeran’ i Jehovah noho ny aminareo ka nataony hoe: Hianao koa tsy hiditra any;
Also Adonai was angry with me for your sakes, saying, “You also shall not go in there.
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 [Salvation Yah] the son of Nun, who stands before you, shall go in there. Encourage him, for he shall cause Israel [God prevails] 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.
Moreover your little ones, whom you said should be captured or killed, and your children, who today have no knowledge of good or evil, they shall go in there, and I will give it to, and they shall possess it.
40 Fa ianareo kosa dia miverena, ka mandehana any an-efitra, dia any amin’ ny lalana mankany amin’ ny Ranomasina Mena.
But as for you, turn, and take your journey into the wilderness by the way to the Sea of Suf [Reed 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.
Then you answered and said to me, “We have sinned against Adonai, we will go up and fight, according to all that Yahweh Eloheikhem [Yahweh our God] enjoined us.” Every man of you put on his weapons of war, and presumed to go up into the hill country.
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.
Adonai said to me, “Tell them, ‘Don’t go up, neither fight; for I am not among you; lest you be struck 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.
So I spoke to you, and you didn’t sh'ma ·hear obey·; but you rebelled against the order of Adonai, and were presumptuous, and went up into the hill country.
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.
The Amorites [Descendants of Talkers], who lived in that hill country, came out against you, and chased you, as bees do, and beat you down in Seir, even to Hormah.
45 Dia niverina ianareo ka nitomany teo anatrehan’ i Jehovah; nefa tsy nihaino ny feonareo Jehovah, na nanongilana ny sofiny taminareo.
You made teshuvah ·complete return· and wept before Adonai; but Adonai didn’t sh'ma ·hear obey· unto your voice, nor turn his ear to you.
46 Dia nitoetra ela tao Kadesy ianareo, araka ny andro izay nitoeranareo tao.
So you stayed in Kadesh many days, according to the days that you remained.
