Judges 1
1 After the death of Joshua, the sons of Israel consulted the Lord, saying, “Who will ascend before us, against the Canaanite, and who will be the commander of the war?”
Ary rehefa maty Josoa, dia nanontany tamin’ i Jehovah ny Zanak’ Isiraely hoe: Iza no hiakatra voalohany hiady amin’ ny Kananita ho anay?
2 And the Lord said: “Judah shall ascend. Behold, I have delivered the land into his hands.”
Dia hoy Jehovah: Joda no hiakatra; indro, efa nanolotra ny tany ho eo an-tànany Aho.
3 And Judah said to his brother Simeon, “Go up with me to my lot, and fight against the Canaanite, so that I also may go forth with you to your lot.” And Simeon went with him.
Ary hoy Joda tamin’ i Simeona rahalahiny: Andeha hiara-miakatra amiko ianao ho any amin’ ny lovako, ka aoka isika hiady amin’ ny Kananita; ary izaho kosa dia handeha hiaraka aminao ho any amin’ ny lovanao. Ary Simeona dia nandeha niaraka taminy.
4 And Judah went up, and the Lord delivered the Canaanite, as well as the Perizzite, into their hands. And they struck down ten thousand of the men at Bezek.
Dia niakatra Joda, ary natolotr’ i Jehovah teo an-tànany ny Kananita sy ny Perizita, ka nahafaty iray alin-dahy tany Bezeka izy.
5 And they found Adonibezek at Bezek, and they fought against him, and they struck down the Canaanite and the Perizzite.
Ary nahita an’ i Adoni-bezeka tany Bezeka izy, dia niady taminy ka naharesy ny Kananita sy ny Perizita.
6 Then Adonibezek fled. And they pursued him and captured him, and they cut off the ends of his hands and feet.
Nefa nandositra Adoni-bezeka; ary nanenjika azy izy ireto ka nisambotra azy, dia nanapaka ny ankihiben-tànany sy ny ankihiben-tongony.
7 And Adonibezek said: “Seventy kings, with the ends of their hands and feet amputated, have been gathering the remnants of food under my table. Just as I have done, so has God repaid me.” And they brought him to Jerusalem, and he died there.
Ary hoy Adoni-bezeka: Mpanjaka fito-polo voatapaka ny ankihiben-tànany sy ny ankihiben-tongony no nitsindroka hanina teo ambanin’ ny latabatro; ka mba tahaka ny nataoko ihany lahy ity no navalin’ Andriamanitra ahy! Ary nentin’ ireo ho any Jerosalema izy ka maty tany.
8 Then the sons of Judah, besieging Jerusalem, seized it. And they struck it with edge of the sword, delivering the entire city to be burned.
Ary namely an’ i Jerosalema ny taranak’ i Joda, ka nahafaka azy, dia namely azy tamin’ ny lelan-tsabatra ka nandoro ny tanàna.
9 And afterward, descending, they fought against the Canaanites who were living in the mountains, and in the south, and in the plains.
Ary rehefa afaka izany, dia nidina ny taranak’ i Joda hiady amin’ ny Kananita izay nonina tany amin’ ny tany havoana sy tany amin’ ny tany atsimo ary tany amin’ ny tany lemaka amoron-tsiraka.
10 And Judah, going forth against the Canaanites who were living at Hebron, (the name of which from antiquity was Kiriath-Arba) struck down Sheshai, and Ahiman, and Talmai.
Dia nandeha Joda hiady amin’ ny Kananita, izay nonina tany Hebrona (Kiriat-arba no anaran’ i Hebrona taloha), ka namono an’ i Sesay sy Ahimana ary Talmay.
11 And continuing on from there, he went to the inhabitants of Debir, the old name of which was Kiriath-Sepher, that is, the City of Letters.
Dia niala tao izy ka nandeha hiady amin’ ny mponina any Debira (Kiriata-sefera no anaran’ i Debira taloha).
12 And Caleb said, “Whoever will strike Kiriath-Sepher, and will lay waste to it, I will give to him my daughter Achsah as wife.”
Ary hoy Kaleba: Izay mamely an’ i Kiriata-sefera ka mahafaka azy dia homeko azy Aksa zanako-vavy ho vadiny.
13 And when Othniel, the son of Kenaz, a younger brother of Caleb, had seized it, he gave his daughter Achsah to him in marriage.
Ary Otniela, zanakalahin’ i Kenaza, zandrin’ i Kaleba, no nahafaka azy; ka dia nomeny azy Aksa zananivavy ho vadiny.
14 And as she was traveling on a journey, her husband admonished her, so that she would request a field from her father. And since she had sighed while sitting on her donkey, Caleb said to her, “What is it?”
Ary rehefa voampakatra ravehivavy, dia nanome vava ny lahy hangataka saha tamin-drainy; dia niala faingana tamin’ ny borikiny izy, ka hoy Kaleba taminy: Inona moa no ilainao?
15 But she responded: “Give a blessing to me. For you have given me a dry land. Also give a watered land.” Therefore, Caleb gave to her the upper watered land and the lower watered land.
Ary hoy izy: Omeo tso-drano aho; fa tany tsy misy rano no nomenao ahy ka mba omeo loharano koa aho. Dia nomen’ i Kaleba azy ny loharano ambony sy ny loharano ambany.
16 Now the sons of the Kenite, the relative of Moses, ascended from the City of Palms, with the sons of Judah, into the wilderness of his lot, which is toward the south of Arad. And they lived with him.
Ary ny taranak’ ilay Kenita, zaodahin’ i Mosesy dia niara-niakatra tamin’ ny taranak’ i Joda niala tao amin’ ny tanàna be rofia hankany an-efitr’ i Joda, atsimon’ i Arada nandeha ireo ka nonina teo amin’ ny Isiraely.
17 Then Judah went out with his brother Simeon, and together they struck the Canaanites who were living at Zephath, and they put them to death. And the name of the city was called Hormah, that is, Anathema.
Ary Joda nandeha niaraka tamin’ i Simeona rahalahiny, dia namely ny Kananita, izay nonina tany Zefata, ka nataony ringana ireo, ary ny anaran’ ny tanàna nataony hoe Horma.
18 And Judah seized Gaza, with its parts, and Ashkelon as well as Ekron, with their borders.
Dia afak’ i Joda Gaza sy ny sisin-taniny an Askelona sy ny sisin-taniny ary Ekrona sy ny sisin-taniny.
19 And the Lord was with Judah, and he possessed the mountains. But he was not able to wipe out the inhabitants of the valley. For they abounded with chariots armed with scythes.
Ary Jehovah nomba an’ i Joda, ka dia azony ny tany havoana; nefa tsy naharoaka ny mponina teny amin’ ny tany lemaka izy, satria nanana kalesy vy ireny.
20 And just as Moses had said, they gave Hebron to Caleb, who destroyed out of it the three sons of Anak.
Ary Hebrona dia nomeny an’ i Kaleba, araka izay efa nolazain’ i Mosesy, ka noroahin’ i Kaleba niala tao izy telo lahy, taranaky ny Anakita.
21 But the sons of Benjamin did not wipe out the Jebusite inhabitants of Jerusalem. And the Jebusite has lived with the sons of Benjamin in Jerusalem, even to the present day.
Ary ny taranak’ i Benjamina tsy nandroaka ny Jebosita, izay mponina any Jerosalema; fa ny Jebosita dia miara-monina amin’ ny taranak’ i Benjamina any Jerosalema ihany mandraka androany.
22 The house of Joseph also ascended against Bethel, and the Lord was with them.
Ary ny taranak’ i Josefa dia niakatra koa hamely an’ i Betela; ary Jehovah nomba azy.
23 For when they were besieging the city, which was previously called Luz,
Dia naniraka hisafo an’ i Betela ny taranak’ i Josefa (Lozy no anaran’ ny tanàna taloha);
24 they saw a man departing from the city, and they said to him, “Reveal to us the entrance to the city, and we will act with mercy toward you.”
ary nahita lehilahy anankiray nivoaka avy tao an-tanàna ny mpisafo ka nanao taminy hoe: Mba atoroy kely anay ny fidirana mankao an-tanàna, dia hamindra fo aminao izahay.
25 And when he had revealed it to them, they struck the city with the edge of the sword. But that man, and all his relatives, they released.
Dia natoron-dralehilahy azy ny fidirana mankao an-tanàna, ka dia nasiany tamin’ ny lelan-tsabatra ny tanàna; fa ralehilahy sy ny mpianakaviny rehetra dia navelany handeha.
26 And having been sent away, he went out to the land of the Hittites, and he built a city there, and he called it Luz. And so it is called, even to the present day.
Ary nandeha ho any amin’ ny tanin’ ny Hetita ralehilahy, ka nanorina tanàna izy, ary ny anarany dia nataony hoe Lozy, ary mbola izany ihany no anarany mandraka androany.
27 Likewise, Manasseh did not destroy Bethshean and Taanach, with their villages, nor the inhabitants of Dor and Ibleam and Megiddo, with their villages. And the Canaanite began to live with them.
Ary Manase tsy nahafaka an’ i Beti-sana sy ny zana-bohiny, na Tanaka sy ny zana-bohiny, sady tsy naharoaka ny mponina tany Dora sy ny zana-bohiny, na ny mponina tany Ibleama sy ny zana-bohiny, na ny mponina tany Megido sy ny zana-bohiny, satria tian’ ny Kananita hitoerana indrindra izany tany izany.
28 Then, after Israel had grown strong, he made them tributaries, but he was not willing to destroy them.
Fa rehefa nihahery kosa ny Isiraely, dia nampanaoviny fanompoana ny Kananita, fa tsy nandroaka azy rehetra izy.
29 And now Ephraim did not put to death the Canaanite, who was living at Gezer; instead, he lived with him.
Ary Efraima tsy nandroaka ny Kananita, izay nonina tany Gazera; fa nonina teo aminy tany Gazera ny Kananita.
30 Zebulun did not wipe out the inhabitants of Kitron and of Nahalal. Instead, the Canaanite lived in their midst and became their tributary.
Zebolona tsy nandroaka ny mponina tany Kitrona, na ny mponina tany Nahalola; fa nonina teo aminy ny Kananita ka nampanaovina fanompoana.
31 Likewise, Asher did not destroy the inhabitants of Acco and Sidon, Ahlab and Achzib, and Helbah, and Aphik, and Rehob.
Asera tsy nandroaka ny mponina tany Ako, na ny mponina tany Sidona, na ny tany Alaba, na ny tany Akziba, na ny tany Helba, na ny tany Afika, na ny tany Rehoba;
32 And he lived in the midst of the Canaanites, the inhabitants of that land, for he did not put them to death.
fa nonina teo amin’ ny Kananita tompon-tany ny taranak’ i Asera, fa tsy nandroaka azy.
33 Naphtali also did not wipe out the inhabitants of Beth-shemesh and Bethanath. And he lived among the Canaanite inhabitants of the land. And the Beth-shemeshites and Bethanathites were tributaries to him.
Naftaly tsy nandroaka ny mponina tany Beti-semesy, na ny mponina tany Bet-anata; fa nonina teo amin’ ny Kananita tompon-tany izy, kanefa nampanaoviny fanompoana ny mponina tany Beti-semesy sy Bet-anata.
34 And the Amorite hemmed in the sons of Dan on the mountain, and did not give them a place, so that they might descend to the flatlands.
Ary ny Amorita nanesika ny taranak’ i Dana ho any amin’ ny tany havoana, fa tsy namela azy hidina ho any amin’ ny tany lemaka,
35 And he lived on the mountain at Har-heres, which is translated as ‘resembling brick,’ and at Aijalon and Sha-alabbin. But the hand of the house of Joseph was very heavy, and he became a tributary to him.
fa tian’ ny Amorita hitoerana indrindra ny tendrombohitra Heresa sy ny tany Aialona sy Salbima; nefa nahery ny tanan’ ny taranak’ i Josefa, ka dia nampanaovina fanompoana ireo.
36 Now the border of the Amorite was from the Ascent of the Scorpion, to the Rock and the higher places.
Ary ny fari-tanin’ ny Amorita dia hatramin’ ny fiakarana Akrabima ka hatramin’ ilay harambato no ho mankany.
