< Joshua 22 >
1 Then Joshua summoned the tribes of Reuben, Gad, and the half-tribe of Manasseh.
Aa le kinanji’ Iehosoa o nte-Reobeneo naho o nte Gadeo, naho i vakim-pifokoa’ i Menasèy,
2 He told them, “You have done everything that Moses, the servant of the Lord, told you to do, and you have followed all the commands I gave you.
le hoe re am’ iereo: Fa hene nambena’ areo ze nandilia’ i Mosè mpitoro’ Iehovà anahareo, naho hinao’ areo ty feoko amy ze hene nandiliako;
3 You have never abandoned your brothers all this time, right up to the present day. You have carefully followed what the Lord your God ordered you to do.
tsy naforintse’ areo o rahalahi’ areoo amy hene andro rezay pake henanekeo, fa nitana’ areo ty namantoha’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’ areo.
4 Now that the Lord your God has given peace to your brothers, as he promised, go back home to your land that Moses, the servant of the Lord, gave you on the other side of the Jordan.
Aa ie henane zao, fa tinolo’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’ areo fitofàñe o rahalahi’ areoo hambañe amy tsinara’e am’ iereoy; aa le mimpolia, naho mionjona mb’ an-kiboho’ areo añe, mb’an-tane fanaña’ areo, i natolo’ i Mosè mpitoro’ Iehovà alafe’ Iardene añey.
5 But make sure you keep the commandments and the law as Moses instructed you. Love the Lord your God, follow all his ways, keep his commandments, stay close to him, and serve him with your whole being.”
Ehe mitomira hañoriha’ areo o fepètseo naho i Hake namantoha’ i Mosè mpitoro’ Iehovày, ty hikoko Iehovà Andrianañahare’ areo naho hañavelo amo lala’e iabio, hañambeñe o fepè’eo naho hivontititse ama’e, hitoroñe aze an-kaampon’ arofo naho an-kaliforam-pañova.
6 Joshua blessed them, sent them on their way, and they went home.
Izay ty nitatà’ Iehosoa iareo, le nampolie’e, vaho noly an-kiboho’ iareo añe.
7 Moses had given to the half-tribe of Manasseh the land of Bashan, and to the other half of the tribe Joshua had given land west of the Jordan. Joshua blessed them and sent them home.
Ie amy zao, fa natolo’ i Mosè amy vakim-pifokoa’ i Menasèy ty lova’e e Basane ao; fa ami’ty vaky ila’ey ka ty nanolora’ Iehosoa añivon-droahalahi’ iareo, alafe’ Iardeney ahandrefañe añe. Le nitata iareo t’Iehosoa, naho nampolie’e mb’ an-kiboho’ iareo añe,
8 He told them, “Take all the wealth you have gained back home: the great herds of livestock, the things made of gold, silver, copper, and iron, the huge quantity of clothes. Share all this plunder with your brothers.”
le hoe ty asa’e tam’ iereo: Mimpolia mb’ an-kiboho’ areo mb’eo reketse vara bey naho añombe maro naho volafoty naho volamena naho torisìke naho viñe vaho milogologoa sikiñe tsi-efa; le ifanjarao amo longo’ areoo i nikopahe’ areo amo rafelahi’ areoo.
9 So the tribes of Reuben and Gad, and the half-tribe of Manasseh left the rest of the Israelites at Shiloh in the land of Canaan and went home to their land in Gilead that they had received at the Lord's command through Moses.
Aa le nienga amo ana’ Israele e Silò an-tane Kanàneo o ana’ i Reobeneo naho o ana’ i Gadeo naho ty vakim-pifokoa’ i Menasè nimb’an-tane Gilade, mb’ an-tane’ iareo mb’eo, i tane nitavane’ iereo ty amy lili’ Iehovà am-pità’ i Mosèiy.
10 When they approached the Jordan region, still in the land of Canaan, the tribes of Reuben and Gad, and the half-tribe of Manasseh built a large and impressive altar beside the Jordan River.
Aa ie nivotrak’ an-toetse marine Iardeney, an-tane’ i Kanàne eo, le rinanji’ o ana’ i Reobeneo, naho o ana’ i Gadeo, naho ty vakim-pifokoa’ i Menasè kitrely marine Iardeney, ty kitrely jabajaba ho sambaeñe.
11 The Israelites were told, “Look, the tribes of Reuben and Gad, and the half-tribe of Manasseh have built an altar in the Jordan region of the land of Canaan, on the side belonging to the Israelities.”
Jinanji’ o ana’ Israeleo amy zao ty hoe: Hehe te namboatse kitrely añ’efe-tane’ i Kanàne, marine Iardene, ami’ty lafi’ o ana’ Israeleo o ana’i Reobeneo naho o ana’ i Gadeo, naho ty vakim-pifokoa’ i Menasè.
12 The Israelites gathered at Shiloh to go to war against them.
Naho nahajanjiñe izay o ana’ Israeleo, le nifanontoñe e Silò eo i hene valobohòn’ ana’ Israeley haname iareo añ’ aly.
13 Before they did so, they sent Phinehas, the son of Eleazar the priest to the tribes of Reuben and Gad, and the half-tribe of Manasseh in the land of Gilead.
Aa le nirahe’ o ana’ Israeleo mb’ amo ana’ i Reobeneo naho o ana’ i Gadeo vaho i vakim-pifokoa’ i Menasèy, mb’an-tane Gilade mb’eo t’i Pinekase ana’ i Elazare mpisoroñe,
14 Ten leaders went with him, one from each of the ten tribes of Israel, and each the head of his family.
reketse roandria folo, songa raik’ amo mpiaolon’ anjomba’ o fifokoa’ Israeleoo; hene talen’ anjomban-droae’e amo Israele añ’ arivo’eo.
15 After they arrived they told the tribes of Reuben and Gad, and the half-tribe of Manasseh,
Niheo mb’ amo ana’ i Reobeneo naho o ana’ i Gadeo naho i vakim-pifokoa’ i Menasèy an-tane Gilade mb’eo iereo, vaho nilañoñe ty hoe ama’e:
16 “This is what all of the Lord's people say, ‘What is this disloyal act you have committed against the God of Israel by building an altar for yourselves? How could you turn away from him now in such rebellion?
Hoe i valobohò’ Iehovày: Ino ze o fikitrohañe nanoe’ areo aman’ Añahare’ Israele zao kanao niambohoa’ areo anindroany ty fañorihañe Iehovà ie nandranjy kitrely hiolà’ areo am’ Iehovà henane zao?
17 Wasn't our sin at Peor enough? Even now we're still not clean from the plague that attacked the Lord's people.
Tsy nahaeneñe antika hao i hakeo e Peorey, ie mb’e tsy neferan-tika pake henane, ndra te nifetsak’ amy valobohò’ Iehovày ty angorosy?
18 So why are you turning away from the Lord now? If you rebel against the Lord today, he will be angry with all of us tomorrow!
te hitsambolitio’ areo anito ty fañorihañe Iehovà? Aa kanao miola am’ Iehovà henaneo, le ho viñera’e te maray ty valobohò’ Israele.
19 But if you think your land is tainted then come over to the land of the Lord where the Tabernacle of the Lord is located and share some of our land with us. Just don't rebel against the Lord, or against us, by building for yourselves an altar other than the altar of the Lord our God.
Akore arè t’ie niota-faly an-tanem-panaña’ areo, te tsy hitsaha’ areo mb’an-tanem-panaña’ Iehovà, mb’ am-pimoneñan-kivoho’ Iehovà mb’eo vaho mangala-panaña ama’ay ao, fa ko miola am’ Iehovà ndra ama’ay handranjia’ areo kitrely tovo’ i kitreli’ Iehovà Andrianañaharen-tikañey.
20 When Achan, son of Zerah, acted disloyally in taking consecrated things, didn't the whole of Israel suffer punishment? He wasn't the only one who died because of his sin!”
Tsy nandilatse hao t’i Akane ana’ i Tserà amo raha navaheñeo ie nifetsahan-kaviñerañe ty valobohò’ Israele iaby? vaho tsy indatiy avao ty nikoromake ty amy tahi’ey.
21 Then the tribes of Reuben and Gad, and the half-tribe of Manasseh answered the Israelite leaders,
Nanoiñe amy zao o ana’ i Reobeneo naho o ana’ i Gadeo, naho i vakim-pifokoa’ i Menasèy, nanao ty hoe amo mpifelek’ arivo’ Israeleo.
22 “The Lord is God of gods, the Lord is God of gods, and he knows! May Israel also know! If we're in rebellion against God or being disloyal to him then kill us right now!
Iehovà Andrianañahare Andrianamboatse! Iehovà Andrianañahare Andrianamboatse ro maharofoanañe, naho ho fohi’ Israele; naho fiola ndra fikitrohan-draty am’ Iehovà—le ko rombahen-jahay te anito—
23 If our action of building an altar was to turn away from the Lord, or to use the altar to make burnt offerings or grain offerings or friendship offerings, then may the Lord punish us.
ty nandranjia’ay ty kitrely toy hiambohoa’ay am’ Iehovà; hisoroñe ama’e ndra enga-mahakama, ndra engan-kanintsiñe, le ee t’ie ho tsoehe’ Iehovà;
24 We did this because we were worried that in the future your descendants might say to ours, ‘What have you got to do with the Lord, the God of Israel?
hera nanoe’ay ami’ty fivazobazora’ay t’ie amy ze añe mete hivolañe amo ana’aio o ana’ areoo hanao ty hoe: Ino ama’ areo hao t’Iehovà, Andrianañahare’ Israele,
25 The Lord put a border—the Jordan River—between us and you, descendants of Reuben and Gad. You don't belong to the Lord.’ So your descendants might stop our descendants from worshiping the Lord.
ie nampañefere’ Iehovà an-tika Iardeney? Aa le tsy manañ’ anjara amy Iehovà nahareo ana’ i Reobene naho ana’ i Gade; ke izay ty hampanjehara’ o ana’ areoo o ana’aio tsy hañeveña’ iareo amy Iehovà?
26 So we said to ourselves, ‘Let's build an altar, not for burnt offerings or for sacrifices,
Aa le hoe ty asa’ay: handranjy kitrely, tsy hisoroñañe, tsy hañengàñe;
27 but as a witness between us and you, and for the generations that come after us, that we will come to worship the Lord in his presence with our burnt offerings, sacrifices, and friendship offerings.’ Then your descendants will not be able to say to ours in the future, ‘You don't belong to the Lord.’
f’ie valolombeloñe añivo anahareo naho zahay naho o tariratse manonjohy antikañeo, hahazoa’ay mitolom-pitoroñe añatrefa’ Iehovà amy fisoroña’aio naho amo engae’aio, naho amo engam-pañanintsi’aio; vaho tsy hanao ty hoe amo ana’aio o ana’ areoo amy ze añe izay, ty hoe: Tsy aman’ anjara am’ Iehovà nahareo.
28 If they were to do so in the future, our descendants could reply, ‘Look at this copy of the Lord's altar which our forefathers made, not for burnt offerings or for sacrifices, but as a witness between us and you.’
Aa le hoe ty asa’ ay: Ie manao i hoe zay aman-tika ndra amo tarira’aio amy ze añe zay, le hanao ty hoe tika: hehe te nitsikombea’ay i kitreli’ Iehovà rinanjin-droaen-tikañey, tsy ho fisoroñañe fa ho valolombeloñe añivo inahareo naho zahay.
29 We would never think to rebel against the Lord or to turn away from him now by building an altar to make burnt offerings or grain offerings or sacrifices. The only altar of the Lord our God is the one stands in front of his Tabernacle.”
Lavitse anay ty hiola am’ Iehovà naho ty hiambohoa’ay am’ Iehovà tsy hañoriha’ay aze te anito, handranjia’ay kitrely hisoroña’ay ndra engan-koroañe naho tsy amy kitreli’ Iehovà Andrianañaharen-tika añatrefa’ i kivoho’ey avao.
30 When Phinehas and the Israelite leaders heard this from the tribes of Reuben and Gad, and the half-tribe of Manasseh they were delighted.
Ie jinanji’i Pinekase mpisoroñe naho o roandria’ i valobohòkey naho o mpifelek’ arivo’ o ana’ Israele nindre ama’eo i lañona’ o ana’ i Reobeneo naho o ana’ i Gadeo naho o ana’ i Menasèo Izay, le ni-no’ iereo.
31 Phinehas replied to the tribes of Reuben and Gad, and the half-tribe of Manasseh, “Today we know that the Lord is with us because you have not acted disloyally in doing this. Now you have saved the Israelites from being punished by the Lord.”
Le hoe t’i Pinekase ana’ i Elazare, mpisoroñe amo ana’ i Reobeneo naho amo ana’ i Gadeo vaho amo ana’ i Menasèo, Oni’ay androany te amantika t’Iehovà amy te tsy nanoe’ areo ze o fiolàñe am’ Iehovà zao, vaho navotso’ areo am-pità’ Iehovà o ana’ Israeleo.
32 Then Phinehas and the Israelite leaders left the tribes of Reuben and Gad, and the half-tribe of Manasseh in the land of Gilead and returned to the land of Canaan to explain the situation to the Israelites.
Aa le nibalike boak’ amo ana’ i Reobene naho amo ana’ i Gade an-tane Giladeo, mb’ an-tane Kanàne mb’amo ana’ Israeleo mb’eo t’i Pinekase ana’ i Elazare mpisoroñe naho o roandriañeo, ninday i saontsiy am’ iereo.
33 The Israelites were pleased with the report and God blessed them. They didn't talk about going to war any more to destroy the land where the tribes of Reuben and Gad were living.
Nino’ o ana’ Israeleo i entañe zay, le nañandriañe an’ Andrianañahare o ana’ Israeleo naho tsy natao’ iereo ka ty hionjon-kialy naho hanjevoñe i tane imoneña’ o ana’ i Reobeneo naho o ana’ i Gadeoy.
34 The tribes of Reuben and Gad called the altar, “Witness,” because they said, “It is a witness between us that the Lord is also our God.”
Aa le nitokave’ o ana’ i Reobeneo naho o ana’ i Gadeo ty hoe Ede i kitreliy: fa valolombelo añivontika, te Iehovà ro Andrianañahare.
