Judges 3
1 Now these are the nations which the LORD left, to prove Israel by them, even as many as had not known all the wars of Canaan;
Zao o fifelehañe nenga’ Iehovà hitsoha’e Israele amy te tsy maro ty teo amo fihotakotahañe amy Khanàneio;
2 only that the generations of the children of Israel might know, to teach them war, at the least such as beforetime knew nothing thereof;
soa te ho fohi’ o tarira’ Israeleo, hampiòha’e hialy, o tsy naharendreke ndra inoñ’ inoñe ama’e taoloo;
3 [namely], the five lords of the Philistines, and all the Canaanites, and the Zidonians, and the Hivites that dwelt in mount Lebanon, from mount Baal-hermon unto the entering in of Hamath.
aa ie toñoneñe: le teo o talè’ lime’ o nte Pilistìo naho o nte-Khanàne iabio naho o nte-Tsidoneo vaho o nte-Kive nimoneñe am-bohi’ i Libanoneo boak’ am-bohim-Baale-kermone ao pak’ am-pimoahañe e Kamate añe.
4 And they were for to prove Israel by them, to know whether they would hearken unto the commandments of the LORD, which he commanded their fathers by the hand of Moses.
Toe ie ty fitsohañe Israele, hampaharofoanañe ke ho haoñe’ iereo o lili’ Iehovà linili’e an-droae’ iareo am-pità’ i Mosèo.
5 And the children of Israel dwelt among the Canaanites; the Hittite, and the Amorite, and the Perizzite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite:
Aa le nitrao-pimoneñe amo nte-Khanàneo naho amo nte-Kiteo naho amo nte-Amoreo naho amo nte-Perizeo naho amo nte-Kivio vaho amo nte Iebosio o ana’ Israeleo;
6 and they took their daughters to be their wives, and gave their own daughters to their sons, and served their gods.
nengae’ iareo o anak’ ampela’eo ho valy naho natolo’ iereo amo ana-dahi’eo o anak’ampela’ iareoo naho nitoroñe o ‘ndrahare’ iareoo
7 And the children of Israel did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, and forgat the LORD their God, and served the Baalim and the Asheroth.
naho nitolon-karatiañe añatrefa’ Iehovà o ana’ Israeleo, ie nañaliño Iehovà Andrianañahare’ iareo vaho nitoroñe o Baaleo naho o hazomangao.
8 Therefore the anger of the LORD was kindled against Israel, and he sold them into the hand of Cushan-rishathaim king of Mesopotamia: and the children of Israel served Cushan-rishathaim eight years.
Aa le niforoforo am’ Israele ty haviñera’ Iehovà naho naleta’e am-pità’ i Kosane’risataime mpanjaka’ i Arame-naharaime, vaho nitoroñe i Kosane’ risataime valo taoñe o ana’ Israeleo.
9 And when the children of Israel cried unto the LORD, the LORD raised up a saviour to the children of Israel, who saved them, even Othniel the son of Kenaz, Caleb’s younger brother.
Ie nitoreo am’ Iehovà o ana’ Israeleo le nampitroara’ Iehovà mpandrombake o ana’ Israeleo hañaha iareo, toe i Otniele ana’ i Kenaze zai’ i Kalebe.
10 And the spirit of the LORD came upon him, and he judged Israel; and he went out to war, and the LORD delivered Cushan-rishathaim king of Mesopotamia into his hand: and his hand prevailed against Cushan-rishathaim.
Nivotrak’ ama’e ty Arofo’ Iehovà, le nizaka Israele naho nionjom-bañ’ aly; le nasese’ Iehovà am-pità’e t’i Kosane’ risataime, mpanjaka’ i Arame’ naharamime vaho zinevom-pità’e t’i Kosane’ risataime.
11 And the land had rest forty years. And Othniel the son of Kenaz died.
Nitofa efa-polo taoñe i taney vaho nihomake t’i Otniele ana’ i Kenaze.
12 And the children of Israel again did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD: and the LORD strengthened Eglon the king of Moab against Israel, because they had done that which was evil in the sight of the LORD.
Aa le nanao haloloañe am-pivazohoa’ Iehovà indraike o ana’ Israeleo; vaho nampaozare’ Iehovà amy Israele ty fità’ i Eglone, mpanjaka’ i Moabe ty amo hatsivokarañe nanoe’ iereo am-pivazohoa’ Iehovào.
13 And he gathered unto him the children of Ammon and Amalek; and went and smote Israel, and they possessed the city of palm trees.
Natonto’e ama’e o ana’ i Amone naho i Amalekeo; le nionjombañ’ aly am’ Israele vaho tinava’e i rovan-tsatrañey;
14 And the children of Israel served Eglon the king of Moab eighteen years.
vaho nitoroñe i Eglone mpanjaka’ i Moabe folo-tao-valo’ amby o ana’ Israeleo.
15 But when the children of Israel cried unto the LORD, the LORD raised them up a saviour, Ehud the son of Gera, the Benjamite, a man lefthanded: and the children of Israel sent a present by him unto Eglon the king of Moab.
Fe nikoaik’ am’ Iehovà o ana’ Israeleo le nampitroara’ Iehovà mpandrombake, toe i Ehode, ana’ i Gerà nte-Beniamine, ondaty fitàn-kavia; ie ty nañitrifa’ o ana’ Israeleo ravoravo amy Eglone mpanjaka’ i Moabe.
16 And Ehud made him a sword which had two edges, of a cubit length; and he girded it under his raiment upon his right thigh.
Nitsene fibara sambe-lela’e ho ambata’e t’i Ehode, kiho raike ty andava’e vaho nasitri’e ambane’ o siki’eo, am-pè’e ankavana ao.
17 And he offered the present unto Eglon king of Moab: now Eglon was a very fat man.
Nendese’e amy Eglone mpanjaka’ i Moabe añe amy zao i ravoravoy—toe loho sometsetse t’i Eglone.
18 And when he had made an end of offering the present, he sent away the people that bare the present.
Ie niheneke ty fibanabanàñe i ravoravoy, le nampienga’e o nanese i ravoravoio,
19 But he himself turned back from the quarries that were by Gilgal, and said, I have a secret errand unto thee, O king. And he said, Keep silence. And all that stood by him went out from him.
fa ie ka nibalike amo samposampo añ’ ila’ i Gilgaleo, le nanao ty hoe, manan-ko bisibisiheñe ama’o iraho, ry mpanjaka; le hoe re: Mianjiña! Vaho niakatse añe iaby o mpijohañe marine azeo.
20 And Ehud came unto him; and he was sitting by himself alone in his summer parlour. And Ehud said, I have a message from God unto thee. And he arose out of his seat.
Le niheo mb’ama’e mb’eo ty Ehode, ie niambesatse am-bangý añ’efe’e ambone ao, le hoe t’i Ehode ama’e, minday tsara ho azo iraho boak’ aman’ Añahare. Niongak’ amy fiambesa’ey amy zao re,
21 And Ehud put forth his left hand, and took the sword from his right thigh, and thrust it into his belly:
le nampitakare’ i Ehode amy zao ty fitan-kavia’e handrambesa’e i fibara am-pè’e havanay vaho tinombo’e an-tro’ i Eglone,
22 and the haft also went in after the blade; and the fat closed upon the blade, for he drew not the sword out of his belly; and it came out behind.
le nitsorofotse reke-taho’e i lela’ey naho nakite’ i havondra’ey i lela’ey vaho tsy nahafakare’e boak’ an-tro’e ao i fibaray, te mone leotse ty niakatse.
23 Then Ehud went forth into the porch, and shut the doors of the parlour upon him, and locked them.
Niavotse mb’am-pimoaham-beo t’i Ehode le narindri’e ama’e ty lala’ i efetse amboney vaho nahili’e.
24 Now when he was gone out, his servants came; and they saw, and, behold, the doors of the parlour were locked; and they said, Surely he covereth his feet in his summer chamber.
Ie niavotse le nimb’eo o mpitoro’eo, fe nahatendreke te nihily o lala’ i efetseio le hoe ty asa’ iareo: Hera misafo-pandia re añ’anjomban’ asara’e ao.
25 And they tarried till they were ashamed: and, behold, he opened not the doors of the parlour; therefore they took the key, and opened [them]: and, behold, their lord was fallen down dead on the earth.
Aa ie nandiñe eo am-para’ te nidaba, akore! ie tsy manokake o lalan’ anjombaio, le nangala’ iareo lahin-dakilè naho nanokake, Vaho hehe te niforetrake, fa nihomake eo i talè’ iareoy.
26 And Ehud escaped while they tarried, and passed beyond the quarries, and escaped unto Seirah.
Aa kanao nitambatse ela, nahabotitsike t’i Ehode le nirangae’e o samposampoo vaho nipitsike mb’e Seirate mb’eo.
27 And it came to pass, when he was come, that he blew a trumpet in the hill country of Ephraim, and the children of Israel went down with him from the hill country, and he before them.
Ie nimoak’ ao le nampipopò tsifan’ añondry am-bohi’ Efraime ey vaho nizotso nindre ama’e mb’eo o ana’ Israeleo boak’ an-kaboañe ao, ie niaolo,
28 And he said unto them, Follow after me: for the LORD hath delivered your enemies the Moabites into your hand. And they went down after him, and took the fords of Jordan against the Moabites, and suffered not a man to pass over.
naho nanoa’e ty hoe, Oriho iraho, fa natolo’ Iehovà am-pità’ areo o nte-Moabe rafelahi’ areoo. Aa le norihe’ iereo naho nandrambe ty fitsaha’ Iordane tandrife i Moabe vaho tsy nenga’ iareo hitsahañe.
29 And they smote of Moab at that time about ten thousand men, every lusty man, and every man of valour; and there escaped not a man.
Zinama’ iareo amy Moabe tañ’ andro izay ty lahilahy rai-ale, songa vondrake, fonga lahindefoñe, leo raike tsy nahapoliotse.
30 So Moab was subdued that day under the hand of Israel. And the land had rest fourscore years.
Aa le nafotsak’ ambanem-pità’ Israele t’i Moabe amy andro zay vaho nitofa valompolo taoñe i taney.
31 And after him was Shamgar the son of Anath, which smote of the Philistines six hundred men with an ox goad: and he also saved Israel.
Nanonjohy izay t’i Samgare ana’ i Anate. Nandafa lahilahy nte-Pilisty enen-jato ami’ty faroa-bosy; ie ka ty nandrombake Israele.
