¹[Anatra farany nataon'i Mosesy tamin'ny Isiraely sy Josoa, ary ny fanaperany ny lalàna] Ary Mosesy nandeha, dia nilaza izao teny izao tamin'ny Isiraely rehetra

¹And Moses goeth and speaketh these words unto all Israel,

²ka 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.

²and he saith unto them, `A son of a hundred and twenty years [am] I to-day; I am not able any more to go out and to come in, and Jehovah hath said unto me, Thou dost not pass over this Jordan,

³Jehovah 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.

³`Jehovah thy God He is passing over before thee, He doth destroy these nations from before thee, and thou hast possessed them; Joshua — he is passing over before thee as Jehovah hath spoken,

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

⁴and Jehovah hath done to them as he hath done to Sihon and to Og, kings of the Amorite, and to their land, whom He destroyed.

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

⁵And Jehovah hath given them before your face, and ye have done to them according to all the command which I have commanded you;

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

⁶be strong and courageous, fear not, nor be terrified because of them, for Jehovah thy God [is] He who is going with thee; He doth not fail thee nor forsake thee.`

⁷Ary 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.

⁷And Moses calleth for Joshua, and saith unto him before the eyes of all Israel, `Be strong and courageous, for thou — thou dost go in with this people unto the land which Jehovah hath sworn to their fathers to give to them, and thou — thou dost cause them to inherit it;

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

⁸and Jehovah [is] He who is going before thee, He himself is with thee; He doth not fail thee nor forsake thee; fear not, nor be affrighted.`

⁹Dia 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.

⁹And Moses writeth this law, and giveth it unto the priests (sons of Levi, those bearing the ark of the covenant of Jehovah), and unto all the elders of Israel,

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

¹⁰and Moses commandeth them, saying, `At the end of seven years, in the appointed time, the year of release, in the feast of booths,

¹¹ka 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.

¹¹in the coming in of all Israel to see the face of Jehovah in the place which He chooseth, thou dost proclaim this law before all Israel, in their ears.

¹²Vorio 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.

¹²`Assemble the people, the men, and the women, and the infants, and thy sojourner who [is] within thy gates, so that they hear, and so that they learn, and have feared Jehovah your God, and observed to do all the words of this law;

¹³Ary 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.

¹³and their sons, who have not known, do hear, and have learned to fear Jehovah your God all the days which ye are living on the ground whither ye are passing over the Jordan to possess it.`

¹⁴Dia 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.

¹⁴And Jehovah saith unto Moses, `Lo, thy days have drawn near to die; call Joshua, and station yourselves in the tent of meeting, and I charge him;` and Moses goeth — Joshua also — and they station themselves in the tent of meeting,

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

¹⁵and Jehovah is seen in the tent, in a pillar of a cloud; and the pillar of the cloud standeth at the opening of the tent.

¹⁶Ary 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.

¹⁶And Jehovah saith unto Moses, `Lo, thou art lying down with thy fathers, and this people hath risen, and gone a-whoring after the gods of the stranger of the land into the midst of which it hath entered, and forsaken Me, and broken My covenant which I made with it;

¹⁷Dia 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?

¹⁷and Mine anger hath burned against it in that day, and I have forsaken them, and hidden My face from them, and it hath been for consumption, and many evils and distresses have found it, and it hath said in that day, Is it not because that my God is not in my midst — these evils have found me?

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

¹⁸and I certainly hide My face in that day for all the evil which it hath done, for it hath turned unto other gods.

¹⁹Ary 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.

¹⁹`And now, write for you this song, and teach it the sons of Israel; put it in their mouths, so that this song is to Me for a witness against the sons of Israel,

²⁰Fa 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.

²⁰and I bring them in unto the ground which I have sworn to their fathers — flowing with milk and honey, and they have eaten, and been satisfied, and been fat, and have turned unto other gods, and they have served them, and despised Me, and broken My covenant.

²¹Ary 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.

²¹`And it hath been, when many evils and distresses do meet it, that this song hath testified to its face for a witness; for it is not forgotten out of the mouth of its seed, for I have known its imagining which it is doing to-day, before I bring them in unto the land of which I have sworn.`

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

²²And Moses writeth this song on that day, and doth teach it the sons of Israel,

²³Ary 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.

²³and He commandeth Joshua son of Nun, and saith, `Be strong and courageous, for thou dost bring in the sons of Israel unto the land which I have sworn to them, and I — I am with thee.`

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

²⁴And it cometh to pass, when Moses finisheth to write the words of this law on a book till their completion,

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

²⁵that Moses commandeth the Levites bearing the ark of the covenant of Jehovah, saying,

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

²⁶`Take this Book of the Law, and thou hast set it on the side of the ark of the covenant of Jehovah your God, and it hath been there against thee for a witness;

²⁷Fa 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.

²⁷for I — I have known thy rebellion, and thy stiff neck; lo, in my being yet alive with you to-day, rebellious ye have been with Jehovah, and also surely after my death.

²⁸Vorio 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.

²⁸`Assemble unto me all the elders of your tribes, and your authorities, and I speak in their ears these words, and cause to testify against them the heavens and the earth,

²⁹Fa 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.Dia nolazain'i Mosesy teo anatrehan'ny fiangonana, dia ny Isiraely rehetra, ny tenin'izao fihirana izao mandra-pahavitany.

²⁹for I have known that after my death ye do very corruptly, and have turned aside out of the way which I commanded you, and evil hath met you in the latter end of the days, because ye do the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah, to make Him angry with the work of your hands.`

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

³⁰And Moses speaketh in the ears of all the assembly of Israel the words of this song, till their completion: —
