< Judges 1 >

1 And it comes to pass after the death of Joshua, that the sons of Israel ask of YHWH, saying, “Who goes up for us to the Canaanite, at the commencement, to fight against it?”
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 YHWH says, “Judah goes up; behold, I have given the land into his hand.”
Dia hoy Jehovah: Joda no hiakatra; indro, efa nanolotra ny tany ho eo an-tànany Aho.
3 And Judah says to his brother Simeon, “Go up with me into my lot, and we fight against the Canaanite—and I have gone, even I, with you into your lot”; and Simeon goes 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 goes up, and YHWH gives the Canaanite and the Perizzite into their hand, and they strike them in Bezek—ten thousand men;
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 find Adoni-Bezek in Bezek, and fight against him, and strike 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 And Adoni-Bezek flees, and they pursue after him, and seize him, and cut off his thumbs and his great toes,
Nefa nandositra Adoni-bezeka; ary nanenjika azy izy ireto ka nisambotra azy, dia nanapaka ny ankihiben-tànany sy ny ankihiben-tongony.
7 and Adoni-Bezek says, “Seventy kings—their thumbs and their great toes cut off—have been gathering under my table; as I have done so God has repaid to me”; and they bring him to Jerusalem, and he dies 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 And the sons of Judah fight against Jerusalem, and capture it, and strike it by the mouth of the sword, and they have sent the city into fire;
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 the sons of Judah have gone down to fight against the Canaanite inhabiting the hill-country, and the south, and the low country;
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 goes to the Canaanite who is dwelling in Hebron (and the name of Hebron [was] formerly Kirjath-Arba), and they strike 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 he goes there to the inhabitants of Debir (and the name of Debir [was] formerly Kirjath-Sepher),
Dia niala tao izy ka nandeha hiady amin’ ny mponina any Debira (Kiriata-sefera no anaran’ i Debira taloha).
12 and Caleb says, “He who strikes Kirjath-Sepher and has captured it—then I have given my daughter Achsah to him for a wife.”
Ary hoy Kaleba: Izay mamely an’ i Kiriata-sefera ka mahafaka azy dia homeko azy Aksa zanako-vavy ho vadiny.
13 And Othniel son of Kenaz, younger brother of Caleb, captures it, and he gives his daughter Achsah to him for a wife.
Ary Otniela, zanakalahin’ i Kenaza, zandrin’ i Kaleba, no nahafaka azy; ka dia nomeny azy Aksa zananivavy ho vadiny.
14 And it comes to pass in her coming in, that she persuades him to ask from her father the field, and she comes down off the donkey, and Caleb says to her, “What do you [want]?”
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 And she says to him, “Give a blessing to me; when you have given me the south land—then you have given springs of water to me”; and Caleb gives the upper springs and the lower springs to her.
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 And the sons of the Kenite, father-in-law of Moses, have gone up out of the city of palms with the sons of Judah [to] the wilderness of Judah, which [is] in the south of Arad, and they go and dwell with the people.
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 And Judah goes with his brother Simeon, and they strike the Canaanite inhabiting Zephath, and devote it; and [one] calls the name of the city Hormah.
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 captures Gaza and its border, and Askelon and its border, and Ekron and its border;
Dia afak’ i Joda Gaza sy ny sisin-taniny an Askelona sy ny sisin-taniny ary Ekrona sy ny sisin-taniny.
19 and YHWH is with Judah, and he occupies the hill-country, but not to dispossess the inhabitants of the valley, for they have chariots of iron.
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 they give Hebron to Caleb, as Moses has spoken, and he dispossesses the three sons of Anak there.
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 And the sons of Benjamin have not dispossessed the Jebusite inhabiting Jerusalem; and the Jebusite dwells with the sons of Benjamin, in Jerusalem, until this 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 And the house of Joseph goes up—even they—to Beth-El, and YHWH [is] with them;
Ary ny taranak’ i Josefa dia niakatra koa hamely an’ i Betela; ary Jehovah nomba azy.
23 and the house of Joseph causes [men] to spy out Beth-El (and the name of the city [was] formerly Luz),
Dia naniraka hisafo an’ i Betela ny taranak’ i Josefa (Lozy no anaran’ ny tanàna taloha);
24 and the watchers see a man coming out from the city, and say to him, “Please show us the entrance of the city, and we have done kindness with 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 he shows them the entrance of the city, and they strike the city by the mouth of the sword, and they have sent the man and all his family away;
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 the man goes to the land of the Hittites, and builds a city, and calls its name Luz—it [is] its name to this 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 And Manasseh has not occupied Beth-Shean and its towns, and Taanach and its towns, and the inhabitants of Dor and its towns, and the inhabitants of Iblaim and its towns, and the inhabitants of Megiddo and its towns, and the Canaanite is desirous to dwell in that land;
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 and it comes to pass, when Israel has been strong, that he sets the Canaanite to forced labor, and has not utterly dispossessed it.
Fa rehefa nihahery kosa ny Isiraely, dia nampanaoviny fanompoana ny Kananita, fa tsy nandroaka azy rehetra izy.
29 And Ephraim has not dispossessed the Canaanite who is dwelling in Gezer, and the Canaanite dwells in its midst, in Gezer.
Ary Efraima tsy nandroaka ny Kananita, izay nonina tany Gazera; fa nonina teo aminy tany Gazera ny Kananita.
30 Zebulun has not dispossessed the inhabitants of Kitron, and the inhabitants of Nahalol, and the Canaanite dwells in its midst, and they become forced labor.
Zebolona tsy nandroaka ny mponina tany Kitrona, na ny mponina tany Nahalola; fa nonina teo aminy ny Kananita ka nampanaovina fanompoana.
31 Asher has not dispossessed the inhabitants of Accho, and the inhabitants of Sidon, and 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 the Asherite dwells in the midst of the Canaanite, the inhabitants of the land, for it has not dispossessed them.
fa nonina teo amin’ ny Kananita tompon-tany ny taranak’ i Asera, fa tsy nandroaka azy.
33 Naphtali has not dispossessed the inhabitants of Beth-Shemesh, and the inhabitants of Beth-Anath, and he dwells in the midst of the Canaanite, the inhabitants of the land; and the inhabitants of Beth-Shemesh and of Beth-Anath were for forced labor for them.
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 Amorites press the sons of Dan to the mountain, for they have not permitted them to go down to the valley;
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 the Amorite is desirous to dwell in Mount Heres, in Aijalon, and in Shaalbim, and the hand of the house of Joseph is heavy, and they are for forced labor;
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 and the border of the Amorite [is] from the ascent of Akrabbim, from the rock and upward.
Ary ny fari-tanin’ ny Amorita dia hatramin’ ny fiakarana Akrabima ka hatramin’ ilay harambato no ho mankany.
