¹Give ear, ye heavens, and I will speak; And hear, O earth, the words of my mouth!

¹[Ny fihirana nataon'i Mosesy] MIHAINOA, ry lanitra, fa hiteny aho! Ary mandrenesa, ry tany, ny tenin'ny vavako!

²My doctrine shall drop as rain, My speech flow down as dew, As small rain upon the tender herb, And as showers on the grass.

²Ho avy tahaka ny ranonorana ny fampianarako, Ary hilatsaka tahaka ny ando ny teniko, Sy tahaka ny erika amin'ny ahi-maitso Ary ny ranonorana amin'ny anana.

³For the name of Jehovah will I proclaim: Ascribe greatness unto our God!

³Fa ny anaran'i Jehovah no hotoriko; Maneke ny fahalehibiazan'Andriamanitsika.

⁴[He is] the Rock, his work is perfect, For all his ways are righteousness; A ùGod of faithfulness without deceit, Just and right is he.

⁴Ny amin'ny Vatolampy, tanteraka ny asany; Fa ny lalany rehetra dia amin'ny rariny avokoa. Andriamanitra mahatoky Izy, ka tsy misy ratsy ao aminy; Marina sy mahitsy Izy.

⁵They have dealt corruptly with him; Not his children's is their spot: -- A crooked and perverted generation!

⁵Efa nasian-dratsy Izy; Tsy zanany ireny, tsininy izany; Taranaka miolakolaka sady efa nivadika izy.

⁶Do ye thus requite Jehovah, Foolish and unwise people? Is not he thy father that hath bought thee? Hath he not made thee and established thee?

⁶Moa Jehovah hovalianareo toy izany va, Ry firenena adala ka tsy hendry? Tsy Izy va no Rainao, Izay nanavotra anao? Tsy Izy va no nanao anao sy nanorina anao?

⁷Remember the days of old, Consider the years of generation to generation; Ask thy father, and he will shew thee; Thine elders, and they will tell thee.

⁷Tsarovy ny andro fahiny, Saino ny taona hatrizay hatrizay; Anontanio amin-drainao, fa hanambara aminao izy, Sy amin'ny anti-panahy eo aminao, fa hilaza aminao izy;

⁸When the Most High assigned to the nations their inheritance, When he separated the sons of Adam, He set the bounds of the peoples According to the number of the children of Israel.

⁸Fony nomen'ny Avo Indrindra zara-tany ny jentilisa, Ka samy natokantokany ny zanak'olombelona, Dia notendreny ny fari-tanin'ireo firenena Araka ny isan'ny Zanak'Isiraely.

⁹For Jehovah's portion is his people; Jacob the lot of his inheritance.

⁹Fa anjaran'i Jehovah ny olony: Jakoba no natokany ho lovany.

¹⁰He found him in a desert land, And in the waste, howling wilderness; He compassed him about, he watched over him, He preserved him as the apple of his eye.

¹⁰Nahita azy tany an-efitra Izy, Dia tany amin'ny tany foana be nampierona, Ka dia nanodidina sy niahy azy Ary notandremany tahaka ny anakandriamasony.

¹¹As the eagle stirreth up its nest, Hovereth over its young, Spreadeth out its wings, Taketh them, beareth them on its feathers,

¹¹Toy ny voromahery manaitra ny ao amin'ny akaniny Ka manidintsidina eo ambonin'ny zanany, Dia toy izany no namelarany ny elany sy nandraisany azy Ary nitondrany azy teo ambonin'ny elany,

¹²So Jehovah alone did lead him, And no strange ùgod [was] with him.

¹²Jehovah irery no nitondra azy, Ary tsy nisy andriamani-kafa teo aminy.

¹³He made him ride on the high places of the earth, And he ate the produce of the field; And he made him suck honey out of the crag, And oil out of the flinty rock;

¹³Nampandeha azy teny ambonin'ny havoana amin'ny tany Izy, Ka nohaniny ny vokatry ny saha. Nampitsentsitra azy tantely avy teo amin'ny vatolampy Izy Sy diloilo avy teo amin'ny vatolampy afovato

¹⁴Cream of kine, and milk of sheep, With the fat of lambs, And rams of the breed of Bashan, and he-goats, With the fat of kidneys of wheat; And thou didst drink pure wine, the blood of the grape.

¹⁴Sy rononomandrin'omby sy rononon'ondry aman'osy Mbamin'ny tavin'ny zanak'ondry Sy ondrilahin'i Basana sy osilahy Ary vary izay vokatra indrindra; Ary nisotro divay mahery avy tamin'ny ran'ny voaloboka ianao.

¹⁵Then Jeshurun grew fat, and kicked -- Thou art waxen fat, Thou art grown thick, And thou art covered with fatness; -- He gave up +God who made him, And lightly esteemed the Rock of his salvation.

¹⁵Nihanatavy Jesorona ka namely daka, Efa matavy ianao sady vory nofo no vaventibe, Dia nahafoy an'Andriamanitra Izay nanao azy izy, Ary nanamavo ny Vatolampy famonjena azy.

¹⁶They moved him to jealousy with strange gods, With abominations did they provoke him to anger.

¹⁶Nampahasaro-piaro Azy tamin'ny hafa Izy; Ary tamin'ny zava-betaveta no nampahasosorany Azy;

¹⁷They sacrificed unto demons who are not +God; To gods whom they knew not, To new ones, who came newly up, Whom your fathers revered not.

¹⁷Namono zavatra ho fanatitra ho an'ny demonia izay tsy Andriamanitra izy, Dia andriamanitra tsy fantany, Fa andriamanitra vao niseho, Izay tsy natahoran'ny razanareo.

¹⁸Of the Rock that begot thee wast thou unmindful, And thou hast forgotten ùGod who brought thee forth.

¹⁸Ny Vatolampy Izay niteraka anao dia tsy tsaroanao, Ary hadinoinao Andriamanitra Izay nahary anao.

¹⁹And Jehovah saw it, and despised them, Because of the provoking of his sons and of his daughters.

¹⁹Ary Jehovah nahita izany ka nandà Noho ny fahasosorany tamin'ny zananilahy sy ny zananivavy.

²⁰And he said, I will hide my face from them, I will see what their end shall be; For they are a perverse generation, Children in whom is no faithfulness.

²⁰Dia hoy Izy: Hafeniko azy ny tavako; Ho hitako izay hiafarany; Fa firenena tena mpivadibadika izy, Dia zaza tsy mahatoky.

²¹They have moved me to jealousy with that which is no ùGod; They have exasperated me with their vanities; And I will move them to jealousy with that which is not a people; With a foolish nation will I provoke them to anger.

²¹Izy efa nampahasaro-piaro Ahy tamin'izay tsy Andriamanitra Sy nampahasosotra Ahy tamin'ny zava-poanany; Ary Izaho kosa hampahasaro-piaro azy amin'izay tsy olona, Sy hampahasosotra azy amin'izay firenena adala.

²²For a fire is kindled in mine anger, And it shall burn into the lowest Sheol, And shall consume the earth and its produce, And set fire to the foundations of the mountains.

²²Fa arehitra ny afon'ny fahatezerako, Ka mandoro hatrany amin'ny fiainan-tsi-hita any ambany indrindra, Sady mandevona ny tany mbamin'ny vokatra ao aminy Ary mampirehitra ny fanambanin'ny tendrombohitra aza.

²³I will heap mischiefs upon them; Mine arrows will I spend against them.

²³Havangongoko aminy ny loza betsaka; Ary holaniko aminy ny zana-tsi-pikako:

²⁴They shall be consumed with hunger, and devoured with burning heat, And with poisonous pestilence; And the teeth of beasts will I send against them, With the poison of what crawleth in the dust.

²⁴Hofezahin'ny mosary izy sady holanin'ny areti-mandripaka Sy ny fandringanana mangidy; Ary nifim-biby no hampandehaniko aminy Jesorona dia anaran'ny Isiraely. Mbamin'ny poizin'ny biby mpikisaka amin'ny vovoka.

²⁵From without shall the sword bereave them, and in the chambers, terror -- Both the young man and the virgin, The suckling with the man of gray hairs.

²⁵Eny ivelany dia ny sabatra no hahafaty ny zanany, Ary ao amin'ny efi-trano dia ny fampahatahorana Na ny zatovolahy na ny zatovovavy, Na ny zaza minono na ny fotsy volo.

²⁶I would say, I will scatter, I will make the remembrance of them to cease from among men,

²⁶Fa efa nolazaiko hoe: Hotsofiko hihahaka izy; Hatsahatro ny fahatsiarovana azy tsy ho eo amin'ny zanak'olombelona,

²⁷If I did not fear provocation from the enemy, Lest their adversaries should misunderstand it, Lest they should say, Our hand is high, and Jehovah has not done all this.

²⁷Raha tsy ny fireharehan'ny fahavalo no natahorako, Andrao diso hevitra ireny mpandrafy azy ireny Ka hanao hoe: Ny tananay no avo; Fa tsy Jehovah tsy akory no nanao izany rehetra izany.

²⁸For they are a nation void of counsel, And understanding is not in them.

²⁸Fa firenena tsy manan-tsaina izy Sady tsy manam-pahalalana.

²⁹Oh that they had been wise! they would have understood this, They would have considered their latter end!

²⁹Enga anie ka hendry izy mba hahalala izao Ka hahafantatra izay ho farany.

³⁰How could one chase a thousand, And two put ten thousand to flight, Were it not that their Rock had sold them, And Jehovah had delivered them up?

³⁰Hataon'ny irery ahoana no fanenjika ny arivo, Ary hataon'ny roa lahy ahoana no fampandositra ny iray alina, Raha tsy ny Vatolampiny no efa nivarotra azy, Ary Jehovah no efa nanolotra azy?

³¹For their rock is not as our Rock: Let our enemies themselves be judges.

³¹Fa tsy mba mitovy amin'ny Vatolampintsika ny vatolampin'ireny, Na dia izy fahavalontsika aza no hitsara.

³²For their vine is of the vine of Sodom, And of the fields of Gomorrah: Their grapes are grapes of poison, Bitter are their clusters;

³²Ny tahom-boalobony dia tahom-boalobok'i Sodoma Ary avy ao amin'ny sahan'i Gomora; Ny voalobony dia voaloboka mahafaty, Sady mangidy koa ny sampahony.

³³Their wine is the poison of dragons, And the cruel venom of vipers.

³³Ny divainy dia zava-mahafaty avy amin'ny dragona, Ary poizina loza avy amin'ny bibilava.

³⁴Is not this hidden with me, Sealed up among my treasures?

³⁴Moa tsy voatahiry ato amiko va izany Ka voaisy kase ato an-trano firaketako?

³⁵Vengeance is mine, and recompense, For the time when their foot shall slip. For the day of their calamity is at hand, And the things that shall come upon them make haste.

³⁵Ahy ny famaliana sy ny fampanodiavana, Raha avy izay hahasolafaka ny tongony; Fa antomotra ny andro hahitany loza, Ary ho avy faingana ny zava-boatendry hanjo azy.

³⁶For Jehovah will judge his people, And shall repent in favour of his servants; When he seeth that power is gone, And there is none shut up or left.

³⁶Fa Jehovah hanome rariny ny olony Ary hanenina ny amin'ny mpanompony, Raha hitany fa lany ny heriny, Ka lasa avokoa na ny voahazona, na ny afaka.

³⁷And he shall say, Where are their gods, Their rock in whom they trusted,

³⁷Ary hiteny hoe Izy: Aiza ireo andriamaniny, Dia ny vatolampy izay nialofany,

³⁸Who ate the fat of their sacrifices, [And] drank the wine of their drink-offering? Let them rise up and help you, That there may be a protection over you.

³⁸Izay nihinana ny saboran'ny fanatiny Ary nisotro ny divain'ny fanatitra aidiny? Aoka ireny no hitsangana ka hamonjy anareo Ary ho fierena ho anareo.

³⁹See now that I, I am HE, And there is no god with me; I kill, and I make alive; I wound, and I heal, And there is none that delivereth out of my hand,

³⁹Fantaro ankehitriny fa Izaho dia Izaho no Izy, Ka tsy misy andriamanitra eto amiko. Izaho no mahafaty sy mahavelona, Ary Izaho no maharatra sy mahasitrana, Ka tsy misy mahafaka amin'ny tanako.

⁴⁰For I lift up my hand to the heavens, and say, I live for ever!

⁴⁰Fa manangana ny tanako amin'ny lanitra Aho Ka manao hoe: Raha velona koa Aho mandrakizay:

⁴¹If I have sharpened my gleaming sword, And my hand take hold of judgment, I will render vengeance to mine adversaries, And will recompense them that hate me.

⁴¹Raha manasa ny sabatro manelatselatra Aho, Ka voarain'ny tanako ny fitsarana, Dia hampanodiaviko ny mpandrafy Ahy ny ataony, Ary hovaliako ny mankahala Ahy.

⁴²Mine arrows will I make drunk with blood, And my sword shall devour flesh; [I will make them drunk] with the blood of the slain and of the captives, With the head of the princes of the enemy.

⁴²Hataoko mamon-drà ny zana-tsipikako, Ary ny sabatro hihina-nofo, Dia ny ran'ny voavono sy ny babo Mbamin'ny lohan'izay lehibe amin'ny fahavalo.

⁴³Shout for joy, ye nations, with his people, For he avengeth the blood of his servants, And rendereth vengeance to his enemies, And maketh atonement for his land, for his people.

⁴³Mihobia, ry jentilisa mbamin'ny olony; Fa ny ran'ny mpanompony no hovaliany. Hamaly ny mpandrafy Azy Izy, Ary hanao fanavotana kosa ho an'ny taniny sy ny olony.

⁴⁴And Moses came and spoke all the words of this song in the ears of the people, he and Hoshea the son of Nun.

⁴⁴Dia nandeha Mosesy ka nilaza ny teny rehetra amin'izany fihirana izany teo anatrehan'ny olona, dia izy sy Hosea, zanak'i Nona.

⁴⁵And when Moses had ended speaking all these words to all Israel,

⁴⁵Ary nony efa tapitra voalazan'i Mosesy tamin'ny Isiraely rehetra izany teny rehetra izany,

⁴⁶he said unto them, Set your hearts unto all the words that I testify among you this day, which ye shall command your children to take heed to do, all the words of this law.

⁴⁶dia hoy izy taminy: Alatsaho ao am-ponareo ny teny rehetra izay ambarako aminareo anio, izay handidianareo ny zanakareo hotandremany sy hankatoaviny, dia ny teny rehetra amin'ity lalàna ity.

⁴⁷For it is no vain word for you, but it is your life, and through this word ye shall prolong your days on the land whereunto ye pass over the Jordan to possess it.

⁴⁷Fa tsy zava-poana ho anareo izany, fa izany no fiainanareo; ary izany zavatra izany no hahamaro andro anareo eo amin'ny tany izay efa hidiranareo holovana, rehefa tafita an'i Jordana ianareo.

⁴⁸And Jehovah spoke to Moses that same day, saying,

⁴⁸Ary Jehovah niteny tamin'i Mosesy androtrizay indrindra ka nanao hoe:

⁴⁹Go up into this mountain Abarim, mount Nebo, which is in the land of Moab, which is opposite Jericho; and behold the land of Canaan, which I give unto the children of Israel for a possession,

⁴⁹Miakara amin'ity tendrombohitra Abarima ity, dia ny tendrombohitra Nebo, izay eo amin'ny tany Moaba tandrifin'i Jeriko; ary tazano ny tany Kanana, izay omeko ny Zanak'Isiraely ho lovany.

⁵⁰and die on the mountain whither thou goest up, and be gathered unto thy peoples, as Aaron thy brother died on mount Hor, and was gathered unto his peoples;

⁵⁰Dia aoka ho faty ao amin'ny tendrombohitra izay iakaranao ianao, ka ho voangona any amin'ny razanao, tahaka ny nahafatesan'i Arona rahalahinao tao an-tendrombohitra Hora sy ny nanangonana azy any amin'ny razany,

⁵¹because ye trespassed against me among the children of Israel at the waters of Meribah-Kadesh, in the wilderness of Zin; because ye hallowed me not in the midst of the children of Israel.

⁵¹satria nivadika tamiko teo amin'ny Zanak'Isiraely ianareo tao amin'ny ranon'i Meriba any Kadesy, tany an-efitra Zina; fa tsy nahamasina Ahy teo amin'ny Zanak'Isiraely ianareo.Fa hahatazana ny tany eo anoloanao ihany ianao, kanefa tsy hiditra any amin'ny tany izay omeko ny Zanak'Isiraely.

⁵²For thou shalt see the land before [thee]; but thou shalt not go thither unto the land which I give the children of Israel.

⁵²Fa hahatazana ny tany eo anoloanao ihany ianao, kanefa tsy hiditra any amin'ny tany izay omeko ny Zanak'Isiraely.
