Judges 3
1 These are the nations which the Lord left, that by them he might instruct Israel, and all that had not known the wars of the Chanaanites:
Ary ny firenena navelan’ i Jehovah ho entiny mizaha toetra ny Isiraely dia izay rehetra tsy mba nahita ny ady rehetra tany Kanana,
2 That afterwards their children might learn to fight with their enemies, and to be trained up to war:
mba ho fantatry ny taranaky ny Zanak’ Isiraely izany amin’ ny hampianarany azy hiady, indrindra fa izay tsy mbola nahalala izany akory teo aloha;
3 The five princes of the Philistines, and all the Chanaanites, and the Sidonians, and the Hevites that dwelt in mount Libanus, from mount Baal Hermon to the entering into Emath.
dia ireo andriana dimy tamin’ ny Filistina sy ny Kananita rehetra sy ny Sidoniana ary ny Hivita, izay nonina tany an-tendrombohitra Libanona, hatrao akaikin’ i Bala-hermona ka hatramin’ ny lalana mankany Hamata.
4 And he left them, that he might try Israel by them, whether they would hear the commandments of the Lord, which he had commanded their fathers by the hand of Moses, or not.
Ary nentina hizaha toetra ny Isiraely ireo mba hahalalana na hihaino ny didin’ i Jehovah, izay nasainy nandidian’ i Mosesy ny razany, izy, na tsia.
5 So the children of Israel dwelt in the midst of the Chanaanite, and the Hethite, and the Amorrhite, and the Pherezite, and the Hevite, and the Jebusite:
Ary ny Zanak’ Isiraely nonina teo amin’ ny Kananita sy ny Hetita sy ny Amorita sy ny Perizita sy ny Hivita ary ny Jebosita.
6 And they took their daughters to wives, and they gave their own daughters to their sons, and they served their gods.
Ary naka ny zanakavavin’ ireny ho vadiny izy sady nanome ny zananivavy ho vadin’ ny zanakalahin’ ireny ka nanompo ny andriamaniny.
7 And they did evil in the sight of the Lord, and they forgot their God, and served Baalim and Astaroth.
Ary nanao izay ratsy eo imason’ i Jehovah ny Zanak’ Isiraely ka nanadino an’ i Jehovah Andriamaniny ary nanompo ireo Bala sy Aseraha.
8 And the Lord being angry with Israel, delivered them into the hands of Chusan Rasathaim king of Mesopotamia, and they served him eight years.
Dia nirehitra tamin’ ny Isiraely ny fahatezeran’ i Jehovah, ka nivarotra azy ho eo an-tànan’ i Kosan-risataima, mpanjakan’ i Mesopotamia, Izy; dia nanompo an’ i Kosan-risataima valo taona ny Zanak’ Isiraely.
9 And they cried to the Lord, who raised them up a saviour, and delivered them, to wit, Othoniel the son of Cenez, the younger brother of Caleb:
Dia nitaraina tamin’ i Jehovah ny Zanak’ Isiraely, ary Jehovah nanangana mpamonjy ho an’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely, izay namonjy azy, dia Otniela, zanakalahin’ i Kenaza, zandrin’ i Kaleba.
10 And the spirit of the Lord was in him, and he judged Israel. And he went out to fight, and the Lord delivered into his hands Chusan Rasathaim king of Syria, and he overthrew him.
Ary ny Fanahin’ i Jehovah no tao aminy, dia nitsara ny Isiraely izy sady nivoaka hiady; ary Kosan-risataima, mpanjakan’ i Mesopotamia, dia natolotr’ i Jehovah teo an-tànany; ary nahery ny tànany ka namely an’ i Kosan-risataima.
11 And the land rested forty years, and Othoniel the son of Cenez died.
Dia nandry ny tany efa-polo taona. Ary maty Otniela, zanak’ i Kenaza.
12 And the children of Israel did evil again in the sight of the Lord: who strengthened against them Eglon king of Moab: because they did evil in his sight.
Fa nanao izay ratsy eo imason’ i Jehovah indray ny zanak’ Isiraely ary i Jehovah nampahery an’ i Eglona, mpanjakan’ i Moaba, hiady amin’ ny Isiraely, satria nanao izay ratsy eo imason’ i Jehovah izy.
13 And he joined to him the children of Ammon, and Amalec: and he went and overthrew Israel, and possessed the city of palm trees.
Dia nampiangona ny taranak’ i Amona sy Amaleka ho any aminy izy, ary nandeha izy ireo ka namely ny Isiraely, dia nahafaka ny tanàna be rofia.
14 And the children of Israel served Eglon king of Moab eighteen years:
Dia nanompo an’ i Eglona, mpanjakan’ i Moaba, valo ambin’ ny folo taona ny Zanak’ Isiraely.
15 And afterwards they cried to the Lord, who raised them up a saviour called Aod, the son of Gera, the son of Jemini, who used the left hand as well as the right. And the children of Israel sent presents to Eglon king of Moab by him.
Ary nitaraina tamin’ i Jehovah izy, dia nanangana mpamonjy ho azy Jehovah, dia Ehoda, zanak’ i Gera, avy amin’ ny taranak’ i Benjamina, lehilahy kavia; dia nampitondra azy fanomezana ho an’ i Eglona, mpanjakan’ i Moaba, ny Zanak’ Isiraely.
16 And he made himself a two-edged sword, with a haft in the midst of the length of the palm of the hand, and was girded therewith under his garment on the right thigh.
Ary nanao sabatra roa lela Ehoda, hakiho ny halavany; dia nataony tao amin’ ny fehin-kibony ambanin’ ny akanjo fiadiany izany, teny am-balahany ankavanana.
17 And he presented the gifts to Eglon king of Moab. Now Eglon was exceeding fat.
Dia nitondra ny fanomezana ho an’ i Eglona, mpanjakan’ i Moaba, izy; ary lehilahy matavibe Eglona.
18 And when he had presented the gifts unto him, he followed his companions that came along with him.
Ary rehefa vitany ny nanolorana ny fanomezana, dia nampodiny ny olona izay nitondra izany.
19 Then returning from Galgal, where the idols were, be said to the king: I have a secret message to thee, O king. And he commanded silence: and all being gone out that were about him,
Fa nony tonga teo amin’ ny fihadiam-bato izay any Gilgala kosa izy, dia niverina ka nanao hoe: Misy teny holazaiko mangingina aminao, ry mpanjaka ô. Dia hoy kosa izy: Mialà kely ianareo, rizareo. Ary izay rehetra nitsangana teo anoloany dia niala teo aminy.
20 Aod went in to him: now he was sitting in a summer parlour alone, and he said: I have a word from God to thee. And he forthwith rose up from his throne,
Ary Ehoda nanatona azy, raha nipetraka irery tao an-tilikambony fihatsiatsiahana izy. Dia hoy Ehoda: Misy teny avy amin’ Andriamanitra holazaiko aminao. Dia nitsangana niala tamin’ ny seza fiandrianana Eglona.
21 And Aod put forth his left hand, and took the dagger from his right thigh, and thrust it into his belly,
Ary naninjitra ny tànany ankavia Ehoda ka nandray ny sabatra teny am-balahany ankavanana, dia natsatony tamin’ ny kibon’ i Eglona izany;
22 With such force that the haft went in after the blade into the wound, and was closed up with the abundance of fat. So that he did not draw out the dagger, but left it in his body as he had struck it in. And forthwith by the secret parts of nature the excrements of the belly came out.
ary difotra mbamin’ ny zarany, ka voasaron’ ny taviny ny lelan-tsabatra, ka dia tsy nanatsoaka ny sabatra tamin’ ny kibony izy; ary niboroaka teo amin’ ny vodiny izany.
23 But Aod carefully shutting the doors of the parlour and locking them,
Dia nivoaka teo amin’ ny lavarangana Ehoda ka nandrindrina ny varavaran’ ny trano ka nanidy azy tao.
24 Went out by a postern door. And the king’s servants going in, saw the doors of the parlour shut, and they said: Perhaps he is easing nature in his summer parlour.
Ary rehefa nivoaka izy, dia tonga teo kosa ny mpanompon’ i Eglona; ary raha hitany fa, indro, voahidy ny varavaran’ ny tilikambo, dia hoy izy: Miavela ato an-tilikambo fihatsiahana izy aloha.
25 And waiting a long time till they were ashamed, and seeing that no man opened the door, they took a key: and opening, they found their lord lying dead on the ground.
Dia niandry mandra-pahaveri-heviny izy ireo, kanjo tsy namoha ny varavaran’ ny trano izy; ka dia naka ny fanalahidy izy ireo ka namoha azy; ary, indro, maty niampatra tamin’ ny rihana ny tompony
26 But Aod, while they were in confusion, escaped, and passed by the place of the idols, from whence he had returned. And he came to Seirath:
Fa Ehoda efa nandositra, raha mbola nitaredretra izy ireo, ka efa nihoatra ny fihadiam-bato, dia nandositra ho any Seïrata.
27 And forthwith he sounded the trumpet in mount Ephraim: and the children of Israel went down with him, he himself going in the front.
Ary rehefa tonga teo izy, dia nitsoka ny anjomara tany amin’ ny tany havoan’ i Efraima, dia nidina nanaraka azy avy tany amin’ ny tany havoana ny Zanak’ Isiraely, ary izy no nitarika azy.
28 And he said to them: Follow me: for the Lord hath delivered our enemies the Moabites into our hands. And they went down after him, and seized upon the fords of the Jordan, which are in the way to Moab: and they suffered no man to pass over.
Ary hoy izy taminy: Manaraha ahy, fa efa natolotr’ i Jehovah eo an-tananareo ny Moabita fahavalonareo. Dia nidina nanaraka azy ny olona, ka azony ny fitàna any Jordana hankany Moaba, ary tsy nisy navelany hita na dia iray akory aza.
29 But they slew of the Moabites at that time, about ten thousand, all strong and Valiant men: none of them could escape.
Dia namono ny Moabita tokony ho iray alin-dahy tamin’ izany andro izany izy, samy olona vaventy sady mahery izy rehetra; ary tsy nisy afaka nandositra na dia iray akory aza.
30 And Moab was humbled that day under the hand of Israel: and the land rested eighty years.
Dia resin’ ny tanan’ ny Isiraely ny Moabita tamin’ izany andro izany. Ary nandry valo-polo taona ny tany.
31 After him was Samgar the son of Anath, who slew of the Philistines six hundred men with a ploughshare: and he also defended Israel.
Ary nanarakaraka azy Samgara, zanak’ i Anata, izay namely ny Filistina enin-jato lahy tamin’ ny fanindronan-omby; dia namonjy ny Isiraely koa izy.
