Joshua 24
1 And Joshua gathered all the tribes of Israel to Shechem, and called for the elders of Israel, and for their heads, and for their judges, and for their officers; and they presented themselves before God.
Aa le natonto’ Iehosoa e Sekeme ao o fifokoa’ Israele iabio, le kinoi’e o talè’ Israeleo naho o mpiaolo’eo naho o mpizaka’eo, naho o mpifehe’ iareoo; vaho niatrek’ añatrefan’ Añahare.
2 And Joshua said unto all the people: 'Thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel: Your fathers dwelt of old time beyond the River, even Terah, the father of Abraham, and the father of Nahor; and they served other gods.
Le hoe t’Iehosoa am’ondaty iabio: Hoe ty tsara’ Iehovà, i Andrianañahare’ Israele: Nimoneñe alafe’ i Sakay añe o rae’ areoo taolo; i Teràke rae’ i Avrahame naho ty rae’ i Nakore; songa nitoron-drahare ila’e.
3 And I took your father Abraham from beyond the River, and led him throughout all the land of Canaan, and multiplied his seed, and gave him Isaac.
Rinambeko amy zao t’i Avrahame rae’ areo boak’ alafe’ i Sakay le niaoloako nanitsike i tane Kanàne naho nampitomboeko o tiri’eo vaho natoloko aze t’Ietsake.
4 And I gave unto Isaac Jacob and Esau; and I gave unto Esau mount Seir, to possess it; and Jacob and his children went down into Egypt.
Natoloko am’ Ietsake t’Iakobe naho i Esave, natoloko amy Esave ty Vohi-Seire ho fanaña’e; nañavelo mb’e Mitsraime mb’eo ka t’Iakobe naho o ana’eo.
5 And I sent Moses and Aaron, and I plagued Egypt, according to that which I did in the midst thereof; and afterward I brought you out.
Niraheko t’i Mosè naho i Aharone vaho nametsahako angorosy ty Mitsraime amo fonga raha nanoako am’iareoo; ie modo izay le nakareko boak’ ao nahareo.
6 And I brought your fathers out of Egypt; and ye came unto the sea; and the Egyptians pursued after your fathers with chariots and with horsemen unto the Red Sea.
Eka navotako boake Mitsraime ao o roae’ areoo; aa ie nipok’ amy sakay, le nañoridañe o roae’ areoo an-tsarete naho mpiningi-tsoavala mb’ amy Ria-Binday ao o nte-Mitsraimeo.
7 And when they cried out unto the LORD, He put darkness between you and the Egyptians, and brought the sea upon them, and covered them; and your eyes saw what I did in Egypt; and ye dwelt in the wilderness many days.
Aa le nitoreo am’ Iehovà iereo naho nampivotraha’e ieñe ty añivo’ areo naho o nte-Mitsraimeo, le nendese’e ama’e i riakey, nañopo iareo; le nahaisake o fitoloñako e Mitsraime añeo o fihaino’ areoo; vaho nimoneñe sa lava an-dratraratra ao.
8 And I brought you into the land of the Amorites, that dwelt beyond the Jordan; and they fought with you; and I gave them into your hand, and ye possessed their land; and I destroyed them from before you.
Nendeseko mb’an-tanen-te-Amore mb’eo nahareo, mb’amo mpimoneñe alafe’ Iardeneio; nialia’ iareo, fe natoloko am-pità’ areo ho fanañañe o tane’ iareoo i zinevoko añatrefa’ areoy.
9 Then Balak the son of Zippor, king of Moab, arose and fought against Israel; and he sent and called Balaam the son of Beor to curse you.
Nitroatse amy zao t’i Balake ana’ i Tsipore, mpanjaka’ o nte-Moabeo, nialy am’ Israele, le nañirake naho kinanji’e t’i Balame ana’ i Beore, hañozoñe anahareo,
10 But I would not hearken unto Balaam; therefore he even blessed you; so I delivered you out of his hand.
fe nifoneñako tsy hañaoñe i Balame; te mone nitolom-pitata anahareo re vaho nivotsorako am-pità’e.
11 And ye went over the Jordan, and came unto Jericho; and the men of Jericho fought against you, the Amorite, and the Perizzite, and the Canaanite, and the Hittite, and the Girgashite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite; and I delivered them into your hand.
Nitsaha’ areo Iardeney naho nivotrake e Ierikò eo; le nialy ama’ areo o nte-Ierikoo, naho o nte-Amoreo, naho o nte Perizìo, naho o nte Kanàneo, naho o nte-Kiteo, naho o nte Girgasio, naho o nte-Kivìo vaho o nte-Iebosìo; f’ie natoloko am-pità’ areo ao.
12 And I sent the hornet before you, which drove them out from before you, even the two kings of the Amorites; not with thy sword, nor with thy bow.
Nampiaoloeko anahareo ty fanenetse nandroake iereo aolo’ areo mb’eo naho ty mpanjaka roe’ o nte Amoreo, fa tsy ami’ty fibara’o, tsy ami’ty fàle’o.
13 And I gave you a land whereon thou hadst not laboured, and cities which ye built not, and ye dwell therein; of vineyards and olive-yards which ye planted not do ye eat.
Le natoloko anahareo ty tane tsy nimokora’ areo, naho rova tsy naore’ areo, vaho fa imoneña’ areo; songa mikama an-tanem-bahe naho an-tonda olive tsy nambole’e.
14 Now therefore fear the LORD, and serve Him in sincerity and in truth; and put away the gods which your fathers served beyond the River, and in Egypt; and serve ye the LORD.
Ie amy zao añeveño t’Iehovà le toroño an-kavañonañe naho an-katò; aitò o ‘ndrahare nitoroñen-droae’ areo alafe’ i Sakay naho e Mitsraime añeo; le toroño t’Iehovà.
15 And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were beyond the River, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell; but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.'
Aa naho raty am-pahaisaha’ areo ty mitoroñe Iehovà, le joboño anito te ia ty ho toroñe’ areo; ke o ndrahare nitoroñen-droae’ areo alafe’ i Sakaio ndra o ndrahare’ o nte-Amore an-tane imoneña’ areoo; fa naho izaho rekets’ i akibakoy, le Iehovà ro itoroña’ay.
16 And the people answered and said: 'Far be it from us that we should forsake the LORD, to serve other gods;
Natoi’ ondatio ami’ty hoe: Lavitse anay ty hifary Iehovà, hitoron-drahare ila’e;
17 for the LORD our God, He it is that brought us and our fathers up out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage, and that did those great signs in our sight, and preserved us in all the way wherein we went, and among all the peoples through the midst of whom we passed;
Iehovà Andrianañahare, ie ty nanese antika naho o roaen-tikañeo niakatse an-tane Mitsraime, boak’ an-trañom-pañondevozañe ao, naho nanao o fitoloñañe ra’elahio ampahaisahan-tika naho nañaro antika amo hene lia nañaveloan-tikañeo vaho añivo’ ondaty nirangan-tikañeo;
18 and the LORD drove out from before us all the peoples, even the Amorites that dwelt in the land; therefore we also will serve the LORD; for He is our God.'
Iehovà ty nandroake o kilakila’ ondatio aolon-tika mb’eo, o nte-Amore nimoneñe an-tane atoio; aa le hitoroñe Iehovà ka zahay; amy te ie t’i Andrianañahare’ay.
19 And Joshua said unto the people: 'Ye cannot serve the LORD; for He is a holy God; He is a jealous God; He will not forgive your transgression nor your sins.
Le hoe t’Iehosoa am’ondatio: Tsy mahafitoroñe Iehovà nahareo; Andrianañahare masin-dRe; Andrianañahare mpamarahy; tsy hapo’e o hakeo naho tahi’ areoo
20 If ye forsake the LORD, and serve strange gods, then He will turn and do you evil, and consume you, after that He hath done you good.'
naho farie’ areo t’Iehovà, hitoron-drahare ankafankafa, fa hitolike hañoho-doza ama’ areo, ho mongore’e, ie fa nañasoa’e.
21 And the people said unto Joshua: 'Nay; but we will serve the LORD.'
Le hoe ondatio am’ Iehosoa: Aiy avao! toe ho toroñe’ay t’Iehovà.
22 And Joshua said unto the people: 'Ye are witnesses against yourselves that ye have chosen you the LORD, to serve Him. — And they said: 'We are witnesses.' —
Aa hoe t’Iehosoa am’ondatio: Valolombeloñe ama’ areo nahareo te jinobo’ areo t’Iehovà hitoroñe aze. Le hoe iereo: Toe valolombelon-jahay.
23 Now therefore put away the strange gods which are among you, and incline your heart unto the LORD, the God of Israel.'
Aa le apoho o ndrahare ankafankafa añivo’ areoo, le ampirampio am’Iehovà Andrianañahare’ Israele ty arofo’ areo.
24 And the people said unto Joshua: 'The LORD our God will we serve, and unto His voice will we hearken.'
Le hoe ondatio am’ Iehosoa: Hitoroñe Iehovà Andrianañahare’ay zahay, le ho haoñe’ay i fiarañanaña’ey.
25 So Joshua made a covenant with the people that day, and set them a statute and an ordinance in Shechem.
Aa le nifañina am’ondatio t’Iehosoa amy andro zay vaho nampijadoña’e fañè naho fèpètse e Sekeme ao.
26 And Joshua wrote these words in the book of the law of God; and he took a great stone, and set it up there under the oak that was by the sanctuary of the LORD.
Sinoki’ Iehosoa amy boke’ i Han’ Añaharey i saontsiy, naho rinambe’e ty vato jabajaba vaho natroa’e ambane’ ty kile an-toe-miava’ Iehovà ao.
27 And Joshua said unto all the people: 'Behold, this stone shall be a witness against us; for it hath heard all the words of the LORD which He spoke unto us; it shall be therefore a witness against you, lest ye deny your God.'
Le hoe t’Iehosoa am’ondaty iabio, Ingo, ho valolombeloñe aman-tika ty vato tiañe, fa tsinano’e i hene lañonañe tsinara’ Iehovà aman-tikañey, aa le ho valolombeloñe ama’ areo re soa t’ie tsy hitety an’ Andrianañahare’ areo.
28 So Joshua sent the people away, every man unto his inheritance.
Aa le nampolie’ Iehosoa ondatio songa mb’ an-dova’e mb’eo.
29 And it came to pass after these things, that Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of the LORD, died, being a hundred and ten years old.
Ie añe, le nivilasy t’Iehosoa ana’ i None, mpitoro’ Iehovà, ie aman-taon-jato tsy folo.
30 And they buried him in the border of his inheritance in Timnath-serah, which is in the hill-country of Ephraim, on the north of the mountain of Gaash.
Le naleve’ iareo an-tane linova’e e Timnatserà, am-bohi’ i Efraime, avara’ i Vohi-Gaase eo.
31 And Israel served the LORD all the days of Joshua, and all the days of the elders that outlived Joshua, and had known all the work of the LORD, that He had wrought for Israel.
Nitoroñe Iehovà t’Israele amy ze hene andro’ Iehosoa naho amo fonga andro’ o androanavy nenga’ Iehosoao, o nahafohiñe ze hene fitoloña’ Iehovà am’ Israeleo.
32 And the bones of Joseph, which the children of Israel brought up out of Egypt, buried they in Shechem, in the parcel of ground which Jacob bought of the sons of Hamor the father of Shechem for a hundred pieces of money; and they became the inheritance of the children of Joseph.
Le naleve’ iereo e Sekeme añ’ ila’ i teteke vinili’ Iakobe amo ana’ i Kamore, rae’ i Sekemeoy ami’ty volafoty zato o taola’ Iosefe nitakone’ o ana’Israeleo boake Mitsraimeo le nandov’ aze o ana’ Iosefeo.
33 And Eleazar the son of Aaron died; and they buried him in the Hill of Phinehas his son, which was given him in mount Ephraim.
Nihomake ka t’i Eleazare, ana’ i Aharone vaho naleve’ iareo an-tamboho i Pinekase, ana’e, amy natolots’ aze am-bohibohi’ i Efraimey.
