Deotoronomia 31

1 Ary Mosesy nandeha, dia nilaza izao teny izao tamin’ ny Isiraely rehetra

So Moses said all these things to Israel.

2 ka nanao taminy hoe: Efa roa-polo amby zato taona androany aho ka tsy afa-mivoaka sy miditra intsony, ary Jehovah efa nilaza tamiko hoe: Tsy hita io Jordana io ianao.

Then he said to them, I am now a hundred and twenty years old; I am no longer able to go out and come in: and the Lord has said to me, You are not to go over Jordan.

3 Jehovah Andriamanitrao no hita eo alohanao, ary Izy no handringana ireo firenena ireo tsy ho eo anoloanao, ka hahazo ny taniny ianao; ary Josoa no hita eo alohanao, araka izay efa nolazain’ i Jehovah.

The Lord your God, he will go over before you; he will send destruction on all those nations, and you will take their land as your heritage: and Joshua will go over at your head as the Lord has said.

4 Ary Jehovah hanao amin’ ireo tahaka ny nataony tamin’ i Sihona sy Oga, mpanjakan’ ny Amorita, izay naringany, sy tahaka ny nataony tamin’ ny taniny.

The Lord will do to them as he did to Sihon and to Og, the kings of the Amorites, and to their land, whom he put to destruction.

5 Dia hatolotr’ i Jehovah eo anoloanareo ireo hanaovanareo azy araka ny lalàna rehetra izay nandidiako anareo.

The Lord will give them up into your hands, and you are to do to them as I have given you orders.

6 Mahereza sy matanjaha; aza matahotra na manahy azy; fa Jehovah Andriamanitrao no miara-mandeha aminao; tsy handao anao na hahafoy anao Izy.

Be strong and take heart, and have no fear of them: for it is the Lord your God who is going with you; he will not take away his help from you.

7 Ary Mosesy niantso an’ i Josoa ka niteny taminy teo imason’ ny Isiraely rehetra hoe: Mahereza sy matanjaha; fa ianao sy ity firenena ity dia hiara-miditra ao amin’ ny tany izay nianianan’ i Jehovah tamin’ ny razany homena azy; ary ianao no hampandova azy izany.

Then Moses sent for Joshua, and before the eyes of all Israel said to him, Be strong and take heart: for you are to go with this people into the land which the Lord, by his oath to their fathers, has given them; by your help they will take it for their heritage.

8 Ary Jehovah no mandeha eo alohanao; ary Izy no hiaraka aminao; tsy handao anao na hahafoy anao Izy; koa aza matahotra na mivadi-po ianao.

It is the Lord who goes before you; he will be with you, he will not take away his help from you or give you up: so have no fear.

9 Dia nosoratan’ i Mosesy izany lalàna izany ka natolony ireo mpisorona, taranak’ i Levy, izay mpitondra ny fiaran’ ny faneken’ i Jehovah, sy ny loholon’ ny Isiraely rehetra.

Then Moses put all this law in writing, and gave it to the priests, the sons of Levi, who take up the ark of the Lord's agreement, and to all the responsible men of Israel.

10 Dia nandidy azy Mosesy ka nanao hoe: Isam-pito taona, dia amin’ ny taom-panafahana, amin’ ny andro firavoravoana fitoerana amin’ ny trano rantsan-kazo,

And Moses said to them, At the end of every seven years, at the time fixed for the ending of debts, at the feast of tents,

11 ka avy hiseho eo anatrehan’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrao eo amin’ ny tany izay hofidiny ny Isiraely rehetra, dia aoka hovakinao eo anatrehan’ ny Isiraely rehetra ny tenin’ ity lalàna ity hihainoany azy.

When all Israel has come before the Lord your God in the place named by him, let a reading be given of this law in the hearing of all Israel.

12 Vorio ny vahoaka rehetra, na lehilahy, na vehivavy, na ankizy madinika, na ny vahiny ao an-tanànanao, hihainoany sy hianarany ka hatahorany an’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrao sy hitandremany hanaraka ny teny rehetra amin’ ity lalàna ity.

Make all the people come together, men and women and children, and anyone from another country who is with you, so that hearing they may become wise in the fear of the Lord your God, and take care to do all the words of this law;

13 Ary ny zanany koa, izay tsy nahalala, dia handre ka hianatra hatahotra an’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrareo amin’ ny andro rehetra hiainanareo eo amin’ ny tany, izay efa hidiranareo holovana, rehefa tafita an’ i Jordana ianareo.

And so that your children, to whom it is new, may give ear and be trained in the fear of the Lord your God, while you are living in the land which you are going over Jordan to take for your heritage.

14 Dia hoy Jehovah tamin’ i Mosesy: Indro, antomotra ny andro hahafatesanao; koa miantsoa an’ i Josoa, ary mitoera ao amin’ ny trano-lay fihaonana ianareo mba handidiako azy. Dia nandeha Mosesy sy Josoa ka nitoetra tao amin’ ny trano-lay fihaonana.

At that time the Lord said to Moses, The day of your death is near: send for Joshua, and come to the Tent of meeting so that I may give him his orders. So Moses and Joshua went to the Tent of meeting.

15 Ary Jehovah niseho teo amin’ ny trano-lay tamin’ ny andri-rahona; dia nijanona teo anoloan’ ny varavaran’ ny trano-lay ny andri-rahona.

And the Lord was seen in the Tent in a pillar of cloud resting by the door of the Tent.

16 Ary hoy Jehovah tamin’ i Mosesy: Indro fa hodi-mandry any amin’ ny razanao ianao; ary hitsangana ity firenena ity ka hijangajanga hanaraka ny andriamani-kafa any amin’ ny tany izay efa hidirany honenana, dia hahafoy Ahy izy ka hivadika ny fanekeko izay nataoko taminy.

And the Lord said to Moses, Now you are going to rest with your fathers; and this people will be false to me, uniting themselves to the strange gods of the land where they are going; they will be turned away from me and will not keep the agreement I have made with them.

17 Dia hirehitra aminy ny fahatezerako amin’ izany andro izany, ka hahafoy azy Aho ary hanafina ny tavako aminy, ka ho lany ritra izy, ary loza maro sy fahoriana no hanjo azy; dia hiteny izy amin’ izany andro izany ka hanao hoe: Moa tsy ny tsy itoeran’ Andriamanitro eto amiko va no mahatonga izao fahoriana izao amiko?

In that day my wrath will be moved against them, and I will be turned away from them, veiling my face from them, and destruction will overtake them, and unnumbered evils and troubles will come on them; so that in that day they will say, Have not these evils come on us because our God is not with us?

18 Ary Izaho dia hanafina ny tavako tokoa amin’ izany andro izany noho ny ratsy rehetra izay nataony, fa nivily nanaraka andriamani-kafa izy.

Truly, my face will be turned away from them in that day, because of all the evil they have done in going after other gods.

19 Ary ankehitriny soraty ho anareo izao fihirana izao, ka ampianaro ny Zanak’ Isiraely, ary aoka tsy ho afaka am-bavany izao fihirana izao mba ho vavolombelona amin’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely.

Make then this song for yourselves, teaching it to the children of Israel: put it in their mouths, so that this song may be a witness for me against the children of Israel.

20 Fa rehefa entiko any amin’ ny tany tondra-dronono sy tantely, izay nianianako tamin’ ny razany homena azy izy, ary hihinana ka ho voky sy hihamatavy, dia hivily hanaraka andriamani-kafa izy ka hanompo azy, ary handà Ahy ka hivadika ny fanekeko.

For when I have taken them into the land named in my oath to their fathers, a land flowing with milk and honey, and they have made themselves full of food and are fat, then they will be turned to other gods and will give them worship, no longer honouring me or keeping my agreement.

21 Ary raha manjo azy ny zava-dratsy maro sy ny fahoriana, dia ho vavolombelona aminy izao fihirana izao, fa tsy ho afaka am-bavan’ ny taranany izao, fa fantatro ny fisainany izay efa hataony, na dia ankehitriny aza, raha tsy mbola nentiko any amin’ ny tany izay nianianako homena azy izy.

Then when evils and troubles without number have overtaken them, this song will be a witness to them, for the words of it will be clear in the memories of their children: for I see the thoughts which are moving in their hearts even now, before I have taken them into the land of my oath.

22 Dia nosoratan’ i Mosesy androtrizay ihany izao fihirana izao ka nampianariny ny Zanak’ Isiraely.

So that same day Moses made this song, teaching it to the children of Israel.

23 Ary Jehovah nandidy an’ i Josoa, zanak’ i Nona, ka nanao hoe: Mahereza sy matanjaha; fa ianao no hitondra ny Zanak’ Isiraely hiditra ao amin’ ny tany izay nianianako taminy homena azy, ary homba anao Aho.

Then he gave orders to Joshua, the son of Nun, saying to him, Be strong and take heart: for you are to go at the head of the children of Israel into the land which I made an oath to give them; and I will be with you.

24 Ary rehefa voasoratr’ i Mosesy teo amin’ ny boky avokoa ny tenin’ ity lalàna ity,

Now after writing all the words of this law in a book till the record of them was complete,

25 dia nandidy ny Levita, izay mpitondra ny fiaran’ ny faneken’ i Jehovah, izy ka nanao hoe:

Moses said to the Levites who were responsible for taking up the ark of the Lord's agreement,

26 Raiso ity bokin’ ny lalàna ity, ka apetraho eo anilan’ ny fiaran’ ny faneken’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrareo mba ho vavolombelona aminao.

Take this book of the law and put it by the ark of the Lord's agreement, so that it may be a witness against you.

27 Fa izaho mahalala ny ditranao sy ny hamafi-hatokao; indro, na dia mbola velona eto aminareo ankehitriny aza aho, dia miodina amin’ i Jehovah ianareo, ka mainka fa rehefa maty aho.

For I have knowledge of your hard and uncontrolled hearts: even now, while I am still living, you will not be ruled by the Lord; how much less after my death?

28 Vorio ho eto amiko ny loholona rehetra amin’ ny firenenareo sy ny mpifehy anareo, mba holazaiko eo anatrehany izao teny izao; ary hiantso ny lanitra sy ny tany ho vavolombelona aminy aho.

Get together before me all those who are in authority in your tribes, and your overseers, so that I may say these things in their hearing, and make heaven and earth my witnesses against them.

29 Fa fantatro fa rehefa maty aho, dia hanao ratsy tokoa ianareo ka hiala amin’ ny lalana izay nasaiko nalehanareo; dia ho tratry ny loza ianareo any am-parany, satria hanao izay ratsy eo imason’ i Jehovah ianareo ka hampahatezitra Azy amin’ ny asan’ ny tananareo.

For I am certain that after my death you will give yourselves up to sin, wandering from the way which I have given you; and evil will overtake you in the end, because you will do evil in the eyes of the Lord, moving him to wrath by the work of your hands.

30 Dia nolazain’ i Mosesy teo anatrehan’ ny fiangonana, dia ny Isiraely rehetra, ny tenin’ izao fihirana izao mandra-pahavitany.

Then in the hearing of all the meeting of Israel, Moses said the words of this song, to the end.
