< Judges 2 >

1 And an angel of the Lord went up from Galgal to the [place of] weeping, and to Baethel, and to the house of Israel, and said to them, Thus says the Lord, I brought you up out of Egypt, and I brought you into the land which I sware to your fathers; and I said, I will never break my covenant that I have made with you.
Ary Ilay Anjelin’ i Jehovah niakatra avy tany Gilgala ka nankany Bokima, dia nanao hoe: Nitondra anareo niakatra avy tany Egypta Aho ka nampiditra anareo eto amin’ ny tany izay nianianako tamin’ ny razanareo homena azy, ka hoy Izaho: Tsy hanatsoaka ny fanekeko taminareo Aho mandrakizay;
2 And you shall make no covenant with them that dwell in this land, neither shall you worship their gods; but you shall destroy their graven images, you shall pull down their altars: but you listened not to my voice, for you did these things.
koa aza manao fanekena amin’ ny tompon-tany ianareo, fa ravao ny alitarany; kanefa tsy nihaino ny feoko ianareo; koa inona moa izao nataonareo izao?
3 And I said, I will not drive them out from before you, but they shall be for a distress to you, and their gods shall be to you for an offence.
Ary hoy Izaho indray: Tsy handroaka azy eo anoloanareo Aho; fa ho tsilo eo amin’ ny tehezanareo sy ho fandrika aminareo ny andriamaniny.
4 And it came to pass when the angel of the Lord spoke these words to all the children of Israel, that the people lifted up their voice, and wept.
Ary nony niteny izany teny izany tamin’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely rehetra Ilay Anjelin’ i Jehovah, dia nanandratra ny feony ny vahoaka ka nitomany.
5 And they named the name of that place Weepings; and they sacrificed there to the Lord.
Ary ny anaran’ izany tany izany dia nataony hoe Bokima; ary namono zavatra teo izy hatao fanatitra ho an’ i Jehovah.
6 And Joshua dismissed the people, and they went every man to his inheritance, to inherit the land.
Ary rehefa nampodin’ i Josoa ny vahoaka, dia nandeha ho any amin’ ny lovany avy ny Zanak’ Isiraely rehetra handova ny tany.
7 And the people served the Lord all the days of Joshua, and all the days of the elders that lived many days with Joshua, as many as knew all the great work of the Lord, what things he had wrought in Israel.
Ary nanompo an’ i Jehovah ny vahoaka tamin’ ny andro rehetra niainan’ i Josoa sy tamin’ ny andro rehetra niainan’ ny loholona izay velona taorian’ i Josoa, dia ireo izay efa nahita ny asa lehibe rehetra nataon’ i Jehovah ho an’ ny Isiraely.
8 And Joshua the son of Naue, the servant of the Lord, died, a hundred and ten years old.
Ary maty Josoa, zanak’ i Nona, mpanompon’ i Jehovah, rehefa folo amby zato taona ny androny.
9 And they buried him in the border of his inheritance, in Thamnathares, in mount Ephraim, on the north of the mountain of Gaas.
Dia nalevina tao anatin’ ny fari-tanin’ ny lovany izy, dia tao Timnata-heresa, any amin’ ny tany havoan’ i Efraima, avaratry ny tendrombohitra Gasa.
10 And all that generation were laid to their fathers: and another generation rose up after them, who knew not the Lord, nor yet the work which he wrought in Israel.
Ary izany taranaka rehetra izany koa dia voangona any amin’ ny razany; ary taranaka hafa, izay tsy nahalala an’ i Jehovah na ny asa efa nataony ho an’ ny Isiraely, no nitsangana nandimby azy.
11 And the children of Israel wrought evil before the Lord, and served Baalim.
Ary nanao izay ratsy eo imason’ i Jehovah ny Zanak’ Isiraely, fa nanompo ireo Bala
12 And they forsook the Lord God of their fathers, who brought them out of the land of Egypt, and walked after other gods, of the gods of the nations round about them; and they worshipped them.
ka nahafoy an’ i Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny razany, Izay nitondra azy nivoaka avy tany amin’ ny tany Egypta, ka nanaraka andriamani-kafa amin’ ny andriamanitry ny firenena manodidina azy, dia niankohoka teo anatrehany ka nampahatezitra an’ i Jehovah.
13 And they provoked the Lord, and forsook him, and served Baal and the Astartes.
Eny, nahafoy an’ i Jehovah izy ka nanampo an’ i Bala sy Astarta.
14 And the Lord was very angry with Israel; and he gave them into the hands of the spoilers, and they spoiled them; and he sold them into the hands of their enemies round about, and they could not any longer resist their enemies,
Dia nirehitra tamin’ ny Isiraely ny fahatezeran’ i Jehovah, ka natolony teo an-tànan’ ny mpamabo izay namabo azy izy, ary namidiny ho eo an-tànan’ ny fahavalony manodidina azy ka tsy nahajanona teo anoloan’ ny fahavalony intsony.
15 amongst whoever they went; and the hand of the Lord was against them for evil, as the Lord spoke, and as the Lord sware to them; and he greatly afflicted them.
Na taiza na taiza nivoahany, dia namely azy ny tanan’ i Jehovah ka nampahory azy, araka izay efa nolazain’ i Jehovah sy araka izay efa nianianany taminy; ka dia ory indrindra izy.
16 And the Lord raised up judges, and the Lord save them out of the hands of them that spoiled them: and yet they listened not to the judges,
Kanefa Jehovah nanangana mpitsara izay namonjy azy tamin’ ny tànan’ ireo namabo azy.
17 for they went a whoring after other gods, and worshipped them; and they turned quickly out of the way in which their fathers walked to listen to the words of the Lord; they did not so.
Fa na dia ny mpitsara azy aza dia tsy mba nohenoiny, fa nandeha nijangajanga nanaraka andriamani-kafa izy ka niankohoka teo anatrehany; nivily faingana niala tamin’ ny lalana izay nandehanan’ ny razany nanaraka ny didin’ i Jehovah izy, fa tsy mba nanaraka izany.
18 And because the Lord raised them up judges, so the Lord was with the judge, and saved them out of the hand of their enemies all the days of the judge; for the Lord was moved at their groaning by reason of them that besieged them and afflicted them.
Ary rehefa nanangana mpitsara ho azy Jehovah, dia nomba izany mpitsara izany Izy ka namonjy ny olona tamin’ ny tanan’ ny fahavalony tamin’ ny andro rehetra niainan’ izany mpitsara izany; fa nalahelo azy Jehovah amin’ ny fitarainany noho ireo nampahory sy nampalahelo azy.
19 And it came to pass when the judge died, that they went back, and again corrupted [themselves] worse than their fathers to go after other gods to serve them an to worship them: they abandoned not their devices nor their stubborn ways.
Kanjo nony maty ilay mpitsara, dia nanao ratsy indray izy mihoatra noho ny nataon’ ny razany, fa nanaraka andriamani-kafa sy nanompo azy ary niankohoka teo anatrehany izy; tsy nitsahatra tàmin’ ny fanaony na tamin’ ny lalana nanaovany ditra izy.
20 And the Lord was very angry with Israel, and said, Forasmuch as this nation has forsaken my covenant which I commanded their fathers, and has not listened to my voice,
Dia nirehitra tamin’ ny Isiraely ny fahatezeran’ i Jehovah, ka hoy Izy: Satria nivadika ny fanekeko izay nandidiako ny razany ity firenena ity ka tsy nihaino ny feoko,
21 therefore I will not any more cast out a man of the nations before their face, which Joshua the son of Naue left in the land. And [the Lord] left [them],
dia tsy handroaka olona eo anoloany intsony Aho amin’ ny firenena izay tsy mbola resy hatramin’ ny andro nahafatesan’ i Josoa,
22 to prove Israel with them, whether they would keep the way of the Lord, to walk in it, as their fathers kept it, or no.
mba hizahako toetra ny Isiraely amin’ ireny, na hitandrina ny lalan’ i Jehovah ka handeha amin’ izany araka izay nitandreman’ ny razany izany izy, na tsia.
23 So the Lord will leave these nations, so as not to cast them out suddenly; and he delivered them not into the hand of Joshua.
Dia navelan’ i Jehovah ireny firenena ireny ka tsy noroahiny faingana; sady tsy voatolony teo an-tànan’ i Josoa ireny.
