< Joshua 22 >

1 Then Ioshua called the Reubenites, and the Gadites, and the halfe tribe of Manasseh,
Ary tamin’ izay dia nantsoin’ i Josoa ny Robenita sy ny Gadita sy ny antsasaky ny firenen’ i Manase,
2 And sayd vnto them, Ye haue kept all that Moses the seruaunt of the Lord commanded you, and haue obeied my voice in all that I commanded you:
ka hoy izy taminy: Hianareo efa nitandrina izay rehetra nandidian’ i Mosesy mpanompon’ i Jehovah anareo sady efa nihaino ny feoko koa tamin izay rehetra nandidiako anareo;
3 You haue not forsaken your brethren this long season vnto this day, but haue diligently kept the commandement of the Lord your God.
tsy nilaozanareo ny rahalahinareo hatramin’ izany andro maro izany ka mandraka androany fa notandremanareo ny lalàna nasain’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrareo notandremanareo.
4 And nowe the Lord hath giuen rest vnto your brethren as he promised them: therefore nowe returne ye and goe to your tentes, to the land of your possession, which Moses the seruant of the Lord hath giuen you beyond Iorden.
Ary ankehitriny dia efa nomen’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrareo fitsaharana ny rahalahinareo, araka izay nolazainy taminy; koa modia ankehitriny, ka mankanesa any amin’ ny lainareo avy, ho any amin’ ny taninareo, izay nomen’ i Mosesy, mpanompon’ i Jehovah, anareo any an-dafin’ i Jordana.
5 But take diligent heede, to doe the commandement and Lawe, which Moses the seruant of the Lord commanded you: that is, that ye loue the Lord your God, and walke in all his wayes, and keepe his commandements, and cleaue vnto him, and serue him with all your heart and with all your soule.
Kanefa mitandrema tsara mba hanaraka ny didy sy ny lalàna izay nandidian’ i Mosesy, mpanompon’ i Jehovah, anareo, hitiavanareo an’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrareo sy handehananareo amin’ ny lalany rehetra sy hitandremanareo ny didiny sy hifikiranareo aminy ary hanompoanareo Azy amin’ ny fonareo rehetra sy ny fanahinareo rehetra.
6 So Ioshua blessed them and sent them away, and they went vnto their tents.
Dia nitso-drano azy Josoa ka nampody azy; dia lasa nankany amin’ ny lainy avy izy.
7 Nowe vnto one halfe of the tribe of Manasseh Moses had giuen a possession in Bashan: and vnto the other halfe thereof gaue Ioshua among their brethren on this side Iorden Westwarde: therefore when Ioshua sent them away vnto their tents, and blessed them,
Ary ny antsasaky ny firenen’ i Manase efa nomen’ i Mosesy lova tany Basana; fa ny antsasany kosa efa nomen’ i Josoa teo amin’ ny rahalahiny etỳ an-dafy andrefan’ i Jordana. Ary raha nampodin’ i Josoa ho any amin’ ny lainy koa ireo, dia notsofiny rano izy
8 Thus he spake vnto them, saying, Returne with much riches vnto your tents, and with a great multitude of cattell, with siluer and with golde, with brasse and with yron, and with great abundance of rayment: deuide the spoyle of your enemies with your brethren.
ka nilazany hoe: Modia ho any amin’ ny lainareo avy ianareo, mitondra harena be sy omby aman’ ondry be indrindra sy volafotsy sy volamena sy varahina sy vy ary fitafiana be dia be; ary iombony amin’ ny rahalahinareo ny babo azo tamin’ ny fahavalonareo.
9 So the children of Reuben, and the children of Gad, and halfe the tribe of Manasseh returned, and departed from the children of Israel from Shiloh (which is in the land of Canaan) to goe vnto the countrey of Gilead to the land of their possession, which they had obteyned, according to ye word of the Lord by the hand of Moses.
Dia nody ny taranak’ i Robena sy Gada ary ny antsasaky ny firenen’ i Manase ka nandao ny Zanak’ Isiraely tao Silo, izay ao amin’ ny tany Kanana, hankany amin’ ny tany Gileada ho any amin’ ny zara-taniny, izay azony araka ny tenin’ i Jehovah nasainy nolazain’ i Mosesy.
10 And when they came vnto the borders of Iorden (which are in the land of Canaan) then the children of Reuben, and the children of Gad, and the halfe tribe of Manasseh, built there an altar by Iorden, a great altar to see to.
Ary raha tonga teo amoron’ i Jordana eo amin’ ny tany Kanana ny taranak’ i Robena sy Gada ary ny antsasaky ny firenen’ i Manase, dia nanorina alitara teo izy, ary lehibe ny fijery izany alitara izany.
11 When the children of Israel heard say, Beholde, the children of Reuben, and the children of Gad, and the halfe tribe of Manasseh haue built an altar in the forefront of the lande of Canaan vpon the borders of Iorden at the passage of the children of Israel:
Ary ny Zanak’ Isiraely nahare hoe: Indreo, ny taranak’ i Robena sy Gada ary ny antsasaky ny firenen’ i Manase efa nanorina alitara an-tsisin’ ny tany Kanana, eo amoron’ i Jordana, anatin’ ny tanin’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely.
12 When the children of Israel heard it, then the whole Congregation of the children of Israel gathered them together at Shiloh to goe vp to warre against them.
Ary nony ren’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely izany, dia niangona tao Silo ny fiangonana, dia ny Zanak’ Isiraely rehetra, mba hiakatra hiady aminy.
13 Then the children of Israel sent vnto the children of Reuben, and to the children of Gad, and to ye halfe tribe of Manasseh into the land of Gilead, Phinehas the sonne of Eleazar the Priest,
Dia naniraka an’ i Finehasa, zanak’ i Eleazara mpisorona, ny Zanak’ Isiraely ho any amin’ ny taranak’ i Robena sy Gada ary ny antsasaky ny firenen’ i Manase, any amin’ ny tany Gileada,
14 And with him ten princes, of euery chiefe house a prince, according to all the tribes of Israel: for euery one was chiefe of their fathers housholde among the thousands of Israel.
sy loholona folo lahy koa niaraka taminy, dia loholona iray isam-pirenena tamin’ ny Isiraely rehetra: samy lohan’ ny fianakaviany tamin’ ny arivon’ ny Isiraely ireo.
15 So they went vnto the children of Reuben, and to the children of Gad, and to the halfe tribe of Manasseh, vnto the land of Gilead, and spake with them, saying,
Dia tonga tany amin’ ny taranak’ i Robena sy Gada ary ny antsasaky ny firenen’ i Manase tany amin’ ny tany Gileada ireo ka niteny taminy hoe:
16 Thus saith the whole congregation of the Lord, What transgression is this that ye haue transgressed against the God of Israel, to turne away this day from the Lord, in that ye haue built you an altar for to rebell this day against the Lord?
Izao no lazain’ ny fiangonan’ i Jehovah rehetra: Inona izato fahotana nataonareo amin’ Andriamanitry ny Isiraely, no niala tamin’ ny fanarahana an’ i Jehovah ianareo androany tamin’ ny nanorenanareo alitara ka miodina amin i Jehovah ankehitriny?
17 Haue we too litle for the wickednesse of Peor, whereof we are not clensed vnto this day, though a plague came vpon the Congregation of the Lord?
Zavatra kely loatra amintsika va ilay heloka ny amin’ i Peora, izay tsy mbola nahadiovantsika ny tenantsika ho afaka amin’ izany mandraka androany na dia efa nisy aza ilay areti-mandringana tamin’ ny fiangonan’ i Jehovah,
18 Ye also are turned away this day from the Lord: and seeing ye rebell to day against ye Lord, euen to morowe he will be wroth with all the Congregation of Israel.
no dia mihodìna miala amin’ ny fanarahana an’ i Jehovah ianareo anio? Raha miodina amin’ i Jehovah ianareo anio, dia ho tezitra amin’ ny fiangonana, dia ny Isiraely rehetra, Izy rahampitso.
19 Notwithstanding if the land of your possession be vncleane, come ye ouer vnto the land of the possession of the Lord, wherein the Lordes Tabernacle dwelleth, and take possession among vs: but rebell not against the Lord, nor rebell not against vs in building you an altar, beside the altar of the Lord our God.
Kanefa raha maloto ny taninareo, dia mità ho any amin’ ny tanin’ i Jehovah, izay itoeran’ ny tabernakelin’ i Jehovah, ka any aminay maka fonenana; fa aza miodina amin’ i Jehovah, na miodina aminay, amin’ ny anorenanareo alitara afa-tsy ny alitaran’ i Jehovah Andriamanitsika.
20 Did not Achan ye sonne of Zerah trespasse grieuously in the execrable thing, and wrath fell on all the Congregation of Israel? and this man alone perished not in his wickednesse.
Tsy nandika ny didy va Akana, zanak’ i Zera, tamin’ ny zavatra voaozona, ka nisy fahatezerana nahatratra ny fiangonana, dia ny Isiraely rehetra? Ary tsy io lehilahy irery io ihany no maty tamin’ izany helony izany.
21 Then the children of Reuben and the children of Gad, and halfe the tribe of Manasseh answered, and saide vnto the heads ouer the thousands of Israel,
Dia namaly ny taranak’ i Robena sy Gada ary ny antsasaky ny firenen’ i Manase ka nanao tamin’ ny mpifehy arivo tamin’ ny Isiraely hoe:
22 The Lord God of gods, the Lord God of gods, he knoweth, and Israel himselfe shall know: if by rebellion, or by transgression against ye Lord we haue done it, saue thou vs not this day.
Andriamanitra Andriananahary, dia Jehovah eny Andriamanitra Andriananahary, dia Jehovah, Izy no mahalala, ary ny Isiraely hahalala koa; raha fiodinana na fahadisoana amin’ i Jehovah (aza mba mamonjy anay akory Hianao anio),
23 If we haue built vs an altar to returne away from the Lord, either to offer thereon burnt offering, or meate offering, or to offer peace offerings thereon, let the Lord himselfe require it:
raha izany no nanorenanay alitara, mba hiala amin’ ny fanarahana an’ i Jehovah, na hanatitra fanatitra dorana, na fanatitra hohanina, na fanati-pihavanana, eo amboniny dia aoka Jehovah no hanadina;
24 And if we haue not rather done it for feare of this thing, saying, In time to come your children might say vnto our children, What haue ye to doe with the Lord God of Israel?
fa tahotra tokoa no anton’ ny nanaovanay izao; fa hoy izahay: Rahatrizay dia hanontany ny taranakay ny taranakareo hoe: Moa mifaninona akory ianareo sy Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely?
25 For the Lord hath made Iorden a border betweene vs and you, ye children of Reuben, and of Gad: therefore ye haue no part in the Lord: so shall your children make our children cease from fearing the Lord.
fa Jordana no nataon’ i Jehovah ho faritra eo anelanelantsika, ry taranak’ i Robena sy Gada, ka tsy manana anjara amin’ i Jehovah ianareo; ka dia hampitsaharan’ ny taranakareo tsy hatahotra an’ i Jehovah ny taranakay,
26 Therefore we said, We will nowe go about to make vs an altar, not for burnt offering, nor for sacrifice,
Dia hoy izahay: Aoka isika hanorina alitara ho antsika, tsy hanaterana fanatitra dorana anefa, na fanatitra hafa alatsa-drà,
27 But it shall be a witnesse betweene vs and you, and betweene our generations after vs, to execute the seruice of the Lord before him in our burnt offerings, and in our sacrifices, and in our peace offerings, and that your children should not say to our children in time to come, Ye haue no part in the Lord.
fa mba ho vavolombelona ho amintsika sy ny taranatsika mandimby antsika, hanaovanay ny fanompoana an’ i Jehovah eo anatrehany amin’ ny hanaterana fanatitra dorana sy fanatitra hafa alatsa-drà ary fanati-pihavanana mba tsy holazain’ ny taranakareo amin’ ny taranakay rahatrizay hoe: Tsy manana anjara amin’ i Jehovah ianareo.
28 Therefore said we, If so be that they should so say to vs or to our generations in time to come, then will we answere, Beholde the facion of the altar of the Lord, which our fathers made, not for burnt offering nor for sacrifice, but it is a witnesse betweene vs and you.
Ary hoy izahay: Raha tàhiny lazainy aminay na ny taranakay izany rahatrizay, dia hataonay hoe: Jereo ny endriky ny alitaran’ i Jehovah, izay nataon’ ny razanay, tsy hanaterana fanatitra, dorana anefa na fanatitra hafa alatsa-drà, fa mba ho vavolombelona ho amintsika roa tonta.
29 God forbid, that we should rebell against the Lord, and turne this day away from the Lord to builde an altar for burnt offering, or for meate offering, or for sacrifice, saue the altar of the Lord our God, that is before his Tabernacle.
Sanatria aminay raha hiodina amin’ i Jehovah ka hiala anio amin’ ny fanarahana an’ i Jehovah hanorina alitara hanaterana fanatitra dorana, na fanatitra hohanina, na fanatitra hafa alatsa-drà, afa-tsy ny alitaran’ i Jehovah Andriamanitsika, izay eo anoloan’ ny tabernakeliny.
30 And when Phinehas the Priest, and the princes of the Congregation and heads ouer the thousands of Israel which were with him, heard the wordes, that the children of Reuben, and children of Gad, and the children of Manasseh spake, they were well content.
Ary rehefa ren’ i Finehasa mpisorona sy ny lohan’ ny fiangonana, dia ny mpifehy arivo tamin’ ny Isiraely, izay niaraka taminy, ny teny izay nolazain’ ny taranak’ i Robena sy Gada ary ny taranak’ i Manase, dia sitrany izany.
31 And Phinehas the sonne of Eleazar the Priest said vnto the children of Reuben and to the children of Gad, and to the children of Manasseh, This day we perceiue, that the Lord is among vs, because ye haue not done this trespasse against the Lord: nowe ye haue deliuered the children of Israel out of the hand of the Lord.
Ary hoy Finehasa, zanak’ i Eleazara mpisorona, tamin’ ny taranak’ i Robena sy Gada ary ny taranak’ i Manase: Fantatray anio fa eto amintsika Jehovah, satria tsy nanao izany fahadisoana izany tamin’ i Jehovah ianareo; ary amin’ izany dia efa namonjy ny Zanak’ Isiraely tamin’ ny tànan’ i Jehovah ianareo.
32 Then Phinehas the sonne of Eleazar the Priest with the princes returned from the children of Reuben, and from the children of Gad, out of the land of Gilead, vnto the land of Canaan, to the children of Israel, and brought them answere.
Ary Finehasa, zanak’ i Eleazara mpisorona, sy ny loholona dia niverina nandao ny taranak’ i Robena sy Gada tany amin’ ny tany Gileada ka nankany amin’ ny tany Kanana ho any amin’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely ary nitondra valin-teny ho any aminy.
33 And the saying pleased the children of Israel: and the children of Israel blessed God, and minded not to goe against them in battell, for to destroy the land, wherein the children of Reuben, and Gad dwelt.
Ary sitraky ny zanak’ Isiraely izany, dia nisaotra an’ Andriamanitra ny Zanak’ Isiraely ka tsy nihevitra hiakatra hiady aminy intsony handrava ny tany izay nonenan’ ny taranak’ i Robena sy Gada.
34 Then the children of Reuben, and the children of Gad called the altar Ed: for it shall be a witnesse betweene vs, that the Lord is God.
Dia nasian’ ny taranak’ i Robena sy Gada anarana hoe Edy ilay alitara fa vavolombelona ho amintsika roa tonta io fa Jehovah no Andriamanitra.
