Deuteronomy 4

Ary ankehitriny, ry Isiraely, mihainoa ny didy sy ny fitsipika izay ampianariko anareo harahinareo, mba ho velona ianareo ka hiditra sy handova ny tany izay omen'i Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny razanareo, anareo.

Now therefore hearken, O Israel, unto the statutes and unto the judgments, which I teach you, for to do them, that ye may live, and go in and possess the land which the LORD God of your fathers giveth you.

Aza ampianareo ny teny izay andidiako anareo, ary aza anesoranareo, fa tandremo ny didin'i Jehovah Andriamanitrareo izay andidiako anareo.

Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish ought from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the LORD your God which I command you.

Ny masonareo efa nahita izay nataon'i Jehovah noho ny tamin'i Bala-peora; fa ny olona rehetra izay nanaraka an'i Bala-peora dia naringan'i Jehovah Andriamanitrao tsy ho eo aminao.

Your eyes have seen what the LORD did because of Baal–peor: for all the men that followed Baal–peor, the LORD thy God hath destroyed them from among you.

Fa ianareo izay nifikitra tamin'i Jehovah Andriamanitrareo kosa dia samy velona avokoa izao anio izao.

But ye that did cleave unto the LORD your God are alive every one of you this day.

Indro, efa nampianariko didy sy fitsipika ianareo, araka izay nandidian'i Jehovah Andriamanitro ahy, mba harahinareo any amin'ny tany izay efa hidiranareo holovana.

Behold, I have taught you statutes and judgments, even as the LORD my God commanded me, that ye should do so in the land whither ye go to possess it.

Koa tandremo ary ataovy izany, fa izany no ho fahendrenareo sy ho fanananareo saina eny imason'ny firenen-tsamy hafa; fa handre izany lalàna rehetra izany izy ka hanao hoe: Olona hendry sy manan-tsaina tokoa io firenena io

Keep therefore and do them; for this is your wisdom and your understanding in the sight of the nations, which shall hear all these statutes, and say, Surely this great nation is a wise and understanding people.

Fa iza no firenena, na dia lehibe aza, no mba manana andriamanitra akaiky azy tahaka an'i Jehovah Andriamanitra amin'izay rehetra iantsoantsika Azy?

For what nation is there so great, who hath God so nigh unto them, as the LORD our God is in all things that we call upon him for?

Ary iza no firenena, na dia lehibe aza, no mba manana didy sy fitsipika marina tahaka izao lalàna rehetra izao, izay ataoko eo anatrehanareo anio?

And what nation is there so great, that hath statutes and judgments so righteous as all this law, which I set before you this day?

Kanefa kosa mitandrema ianao, ka tandremo tsara ny fanahinao, fandrao hadinoinao ny zavatra izay efa hitan'ny masonao, ary andrao miala amin'ny fonao izany, amin'ny andro rehetra hiainanao, fa ampahafantaro ny zanakao sy ny zafinao izany,

Only take heed to thyself, and keep thy soul diligently, lest thou forget the things which thine eyes have seen, and lest they depart from thy heart all the days of thy life: but teach them thy sons, and thy sons' sons;

dia izay hitanao tamin'ny andro izay nitsangananao teo anatrehan'i Jehovah Andriamanitrao tany Horeba, fony Jehovah nilaza tamiko hoe: Angony etỳ amiko ny olona, dia hampandrenesiko azy ny teniko, izay hianarany mba hatahotra Ahy amin'ny andro rehetra hiainany ambonin'ny tany sady hampianariny ny zanany koa.

Specially the day that thou stoodest before the LORD thy God in Horeb, when the LORD said unto me, Gather me the people together, and I will make them hear my words, that they may learn to fear me all the days that they shall live upon the earth, and that they may teach their children.

Dia nanakaiky ianareo ka nitsangana teo am-bodin'ny tendrombohitra; ary ny tendrombohitra nirehitra afo manakatra ny lanitra, sady nisy aizina sy rahona ary aizim-pito.

And ye came near and stood under the mountain; and the mountain burned with fire unto the midst of heaven, with darkness, clouds, and thick darkness.

Dia niteny taminareo teo amin'ny afo Jehovah; ny teny ihany no renareo, fa tsy nahita endrika akory ianareo.

And the LORD spake unto you out of the midst of the fire: ye heard the voice of the words, but saw no similitude; only ye heard a voice.

Dia nambarany taminareo ny fanekeny, izay nandidiany anareo harahina, dia ny Didy Folo ary nosoratany teo amin'ny vato fisaka roa ireo.

And he declared unto you his covenant, which he commanded you to perform, even ten commandments; and he wrote them upon two tables of stone.

Ary izaho nodidian'i Jehovah tamin'izany andro izany hampianatra anareo didy sy fitsipika, mba harahinareo any amin'ny tany izay efa hidiranareo holovana.

And the LORD commanded me at that time to teach you statutes and judgments, that ye might do them in the land whither ye go over to possess it.

Dia tandremo tsara ny fanahinareo; fa tsy nahita endrika akory ianareo tamin'ny andro izay nitenenan'i Jehovah taminareo tao amin'ny afo tany Horeba;

Take ye therefore good heed unto yourselves; for ye saw no manner of similitude on the day that the LORD spake unto you in Horeb out of the midst of the fire:

fandrao manao ratsy ianareo ka manao sarin-javatra voasokitra ho anareo, araka izay endri-javatra na inona na inona, dia sarin-dehilahy, na sarim-behivavy,

Lest ye corrupt yourselves, and make you a graven image, the similitude of any figure, the likeness of male or female,

na sarim-biby izay etỳ ambonin'ny tany, na sarim-borona manana elatra izay manidina eny amin'ny habakabaka,

The likeness of any beast that is on the earth, the likeness of any winged fowl that flieth in the air,

na sarim-biby mandady na mikisaka amin'ny tany, na sarin-kazandrano izay ao amin'ny rano ambanin'ny tany.

The likeness of any thing that creepeth on the ground, the likeness of any fish that is in the waters beneath the earth:

Ary andrao raha miandrandra ny lanitra ianao ka mahita ny masoandro sy ny volana ary ny kintana, dia izay rehetra eny amin'ny lanitra, dia ho voataona ianao hiankokoha eo anatrehany sy hanompo azy, izay nataon'i Jehovah Andriamanitrao ho anjaran'ny firenena rehetra ambanin'ny lanitra.

And lest thou lift up thine eyes unto heaven, and when thou seest the sun, and the moon, and the stars, even all the host of heaven, shouldest be driven to worship them, and serve them, which the LORD thy God hath divided unto all nations under the whole heaven.

Fa ianareo no nalain'i Jehovah ka nentiny nivoaka avy tao amin'ny memy fandrendreham-by (dia avy tany Egypta) mba ho firenena ho Azy tahaka ny amin'izao anio izao.

But the LORD hath taken you, and brought you forth out of the iron furnace, even out of Egypt, to be unto him a people of inheritance, as ye are this day.

Ary Jehovah dia tezitra tamiko noho ny aminareo ka nianiana fa tsy hita an'i Jordana aho, na hiditra any amin'ny tany soa izay omen'i Jehovah Andriamanitrao ho lovanao.

Furthermore the LORD was angry with me for your sakes, and sware that I should not go over Jordan, and that I should not go in unto that good land, which the LORD thy God giveth thee for an inheritance:

Fa izaho ho faty amin'ity tany ity, fa tsy hita an'i Jordana; fa ianareo kosa no hita ka handova izany tany soa izany.

But I must die in this land, I must not go over Jordan: but ye shall go over, and possess that good land.

Mitandrema ianareo, fandrao manadino ny faneken'i Jehovah Andriamanitrareo izay nataony taminareo ka manao sarin-javatra voasokitra ho anareo, araka ny endriky ny zavatra izay efa nandraran'i Jehovah Andriamanitrao anao.

Take heed unto yourselves, lest ye forget the covenant of the LORD your God, which he made with you, and make you a graven image, or the likeness of any thing, which the LORD thy God hath forbidden thee.

Fa Jehovah Andriamanitrao dia afo mandevona; eny, Andriamanitra saro-piaro Izy.

For the LORD thy God is a consuming fire, even a jealous God.

Raha miteraka sy ho loa-jafy koa ianao, ka efa nitoetra ela teo amin'ny tany ianareo ary manao ratsy ka manao sarin-javatra voasokitra, araka izay endriky ny zavatra na inona na inona, sy manao ratsy eo imason'i Jehovah Andriamanitrao ary mampahatezitra Azy,

When thou shalt beget children, and children's children, and ye shall have remained long in the land, and shall corrupt yourselves, and make a graven image, or the likeness of any thing, and shall do evil in the sight of the LORD thy God, to provoke him to anger:

dia miantso ny lanitra sy ny tany ho vavolombelona aho anio fa vetivety foana dia ho fongotra tokoa ianareo tsy ho eo amin'ny tany izay alehanareo hita an'i Jordana holovana; tsy ho maro andro eo ianareo, fa haringana tokoa.

I call heaven and earth to witness against you this day, that ye shall soon utterly perish from off the land whereunto ye go over Jordan to possess it; ye shall not prolong your days upon it, but shall utterly be destroyed.

Ary Jehovah hampiely anareo any amin'ny firenen-tsamy hafa; ary ho tonga olom-bitsy izay sisa aminareo any amin'ny firenen-tsamy hafa izay hitondran'i Jehovah anareo.

And the LORD shall scatter you among the nations, and ye shall be left few in number among the heathen, whither the LORD shall lead you.

Ary any no hanompoanareo andriamanitra asan'ny tànan'olona, dia vato aman-kazo, izay tsy mahita, na mandre, na mihinana, na manimbolo.

And there ye shall serve gods, the work of men's hands, wood and stone, which neither see, nor hear, nor eat, nor smell.

Kanefa any ianao no hitady an'i Jehovah Andriamanitrao ka hahita Azy, raha mitady Azy amin'ny fonao rehetra sy ny fanahinao rehetra.

But if from thence thou shalt seek the LORD thy God, thou shalt find him, if thou seek him with all thy heart and with all thy soul.

Raha azom-pahoriana ianao, fa manjo anao ireo zavatra rehetra ireo, dia hiverina amin'i Jehovah Andriamanitrao ianao any am-parany ka hihaino ny feony;

When thou art in tribulation, and all these things are come upon thee, even in the latter days, if thou turn to the LORD thy God, and shalt be obedient unto his voice;

fa Andriamanitra mamindra fo Jehovah Andriamanitrao ka tsy hahafoy anao, na handringana anao, na hanadino ny fanekena tamin'ny razanao, izay efa nianianany taminy.

(For the LORD thy God is a merciful God;) he will not forsake thee, neither destroy thee, nor forget the covenant of thy fathers which he sware unto them.

Fa anontanio ange ny andro lasa, izay teo alohanao hatramin'ny andro izay namoronan'Andriamanitra olombelona tetỳ ambonin'ny tany ary hatramin'ny faravodilanitra manodidina, raha mba nisy zavatra lehibe tahaka izany, na mba efa nisy re tahaka izany.

For ask now of the days that are past, which were before thee, since the day that God created man upon the earth, and ask from the one side of heaven unto the other, whether there hath been any such thing as this great thing is, or hath been heard like it?

Moa efa nisy firenena nandre ny feon'Andriamanitra niteny tao amin'ny afo, tahaka ny efa renao, ka velona ihany?

Did ever people hear the voice of God speaking out of the midst of the fire, as thou hast heard, and live?

Moa efa nanandrana handeha haka firenena ho Azy avy amin'ny firenena hafa va Andriamanitra amin'ny fizahan-toetra sy ny famantarana sy ny fahagagana sy ny ady sy ny tanana mahery sy ny sandry nahinjitra ary ny fampahatahorana lehibe, araka izay rehetra nataon'i Jehovah Andriamanitrareo ho anareo tany Egypta teo imasonao?

Or hath God assayed to go and take him a nation from the midst of another nation, by temptations, by signs, and by wonders, and by war, and by a mighty hand, and by a stretched out arm, and by great terrors, according to all that the LORD your God did for you in Egypt before your eyes?

Hianao no nampahitainy izany, mba hahafantaranao fa Jehovah no Andriamanitra, fa tsy misy afa-tsy Izy.

Unto thee it was shewed, that thou mightest know that the LORD he is God; there is none else beside him.

Avy tany an-danitra no nampandrenesany anao ny feony hananarany anao; ary teo ambonin'ny tany no nanehoany anao ny afony lehibe; ary ny teniny efa renao avy tao afovoan'ny afo.

Out of heaven he made thee to hear his voice, that he might instruct thee: and upon earth he shewed thee his great fire; and thou heardest his words out of the midst of the fire.

Ary satria tia ny razanao Izy ka nifidy ny zanany mandimby azy, dia Izy no nitondra anao nivoaka avy tany Egypta tamin'ny heriny lehibe,

And because he loved thy fathers, therefore he chose their seed after them, and brought thee out in his sight with his mighty power out of Egypt;

handroahany eo anoloanao firenena maro izay lehibe sy mahery noho ianao, mba hampidirany anao sy hanomezany anao ny taniny ho lova, tahaka ny amin'izao anio izao.

To drive out nations from before thee greater and mightier than thou art, to bring thee in, to give thee their land for an inheritance, as it is this day.

Koa aoka ho fantatrao anio, ka tsarovy ao am-ponao, fa Jehovah no Andriamanitra any amin'ny lanitra ambony sy etỳ amin'ny tany ambany, ka tsy misy afa-tsy Izy.

Know therefore this day, and consider it in thine heart, that the LORD he is God in heaven above, and upon the earth beneath: there is none else.

Dia tandremo ny lalàny sy ny didiny izay andidiako anao anio, mba hahita soa ianao sy ny taranakao mandimby anao, ary mba ho maro andro ianao any amin'ny tany, izay omen'i Jehovah Andriamanitrao ho anao mandrakizay.

Thou shalt keep therefore his statutes, and his commandments, which I command thee this day, that it may go well with thee, and with thy children after thee, and that thou mayest prolong thy days upon the earth, which the LORD thy God giveth thee, for ever.

Ary tamin'izay Mosesy dia nanokana tanàna telo any an-dafy atsinanan'i Jordana,

Then Moses severed three cities on this side Jordan toward the sunrising;

mba handosiran'izay nahafaty ny namany tsy nahy ka tsy nankahala azy teo aloha, dia ho velona izy raha mandositra ao amin'ny anankiray amin'ireo tanàna ireo:

That the slayer might flee thither, which should kill his neighbour unawares, and hated him not in times past; and that fleeing unto one of these cities he might live:

dia Bazera any an-efitra, amin'ny tany lemaka, an'ny Robenita; ary Ramota-gileada an'ny Gadita; ary Golana any Basana an'ny Manasita.

Namely, Bezer in the wilderness, in the plain country, of the Reubenites; and Ramoth in Gilead, of the Gadites; and Golan in Bashan, of the Manassites.

Ary izao no lalàna izay nalahatr'i Mosesy teo anatrehan'ny Zanak'Isiraely.

And this is the law which Moses set before the children of Israel:

Izao no teni-vavolombelona sy didy ary fitsipika, izay nambaran'i Mosesy tamin'ny Zanak'Isiraely, rehefa nivoaka avy tany Egypta izy,

These are the testimonies, and the statutes, and the judgments, which Moses spake unto the children of Israel, after they came forth out of Egypt,

tany an-dafin'i Jordana, tao an-dohasaha tandrifin'i Beti-peora, tao amin'ny tanin'i Sihona, ilay mpanjakan'ny Amorita nonina tao Hesbona, dia ilay noresen'i Mosesy sy ny Zanak'Isiraely, rehefa nivoaka avy tany Egypta izy,

On this side Jordan, in the valley over against Beth–peor, in the land of Sihon king of the Amorites, who dwelt at Heshbon, whom Moses and the children of Israel smote, after they were come forth out of Egypt:

ka dia azony ny tanin'i Sihona sy ny tanin'i Oga, mpanjakan'i Basana, dia ny mpanjaka roa tamin'ny Amorita, izay tany an-dafy atsinanan'i Jordana,

And they possessed his land, and the land of Og king of Bashan, two kings of the Amorites, which were on this side Jordan toward the sunrising;

hatrany Aroera, izay ao amoron'ny lohasahan-driaka Arnona, ka hatramin'ny tendrombohitra Siona (Hermona izany),

From Aroer, which is by the bank of the river Arnon, even unto mount Sion, which is Hermon,

dia ny tani-hay rehetra any an-dafy atsinanan'i Jordana ka hatramin'ny ranomasina amin'ny tani-hay eo ambodin'i Pisga.

And all the plain on this side Jordan eastward, even unto the sea of the plain, under the springs of Pisgah.
