Judges 9
1 And he went Abimelech [the] son of Jerub-Baal Shechem towards to [the] brothers of mother his and he spoke to them and to all [the] clan of [the] house of [the] father of mother his saying.
Nimb’e Sekeme mb’ aman-drolongon-drene’e mb’eo t’i Abimelek’ ana’ Ierobaale, ninday entañe am’ iereo naho amo añ’ anjomban-draen-drene’e iabio, le hoe ty asa’e:
2 Speak please in [the] ears of all [the] citizens of Shechem what? [is] good for you ¿ to rule over you seventy man all [the] sons of Jerub-Baal or? to rule over you a man one and you will remember that [am] bone your and flesh your I.
Ehe misaontsia an-dravembia’ ze hene’ ondati’ i Sekeme: Ty aia ro soa ama’ areo: he te hifelek’ anahareo o ana’ Ierobaaleo, indaty fitompolo rey, ke hifeleha’ ty raike? Tiahio ka te taolañ’ ama’ nofo’ areo iraho.
3 And they spoke [the] brothers of mother his on him in [the] ears of all [the] citizens of Shechem all the words these and it turned aside heart their after Abimelech for they said [is] brother our he.
Aa le nitalily aze an-dravembia’ ze hene ondati’ i Sekeme o longon-drene’eo, nanao i hoe zay iaby; le niroñe mb’ am-pañorihañe i Abimeleke ty arofo’ iareo, nanao ty hoe: Rahalahin-tika ‘nio.
4 And they gave to him seventy silver (from [the] house of Baal-*L(abh)*) Berith and he hired for them Abimelech men unprincipled and undisciplined and they went after him.
Aa le nitolora’ iereo drala volafoty fitompolo boak’ añ’anjomba’ i Baale-berite ao, le nañeke ondaty mpibohaboha naho kafoake hañorik’ aze t’i Abimeleke.
5 And he went [the] house of father his Ophrah towards and he killed brothers his [the] sons of Jerub-Baal (seventy *L(abh)*) man on stone one and he was left Jotham [the] son of Jerub-Baal young for he hid himself.
Nimb’ añ’ anjomban-drae’e e Ofrà amy zao re le zinama’e o rahalahi’eo, o ana’ Ierobaaleo, i fitom-polo rey, ambone ty vato eo; fe nietake t’Iotame tsitson’ ana’ Ierobaàle, ie ty honka’e.
6 And they gathered all [the] citizens of Shechem and all Beth Millo and they went and they made king Abimelech to king near [the] great tree set up which [was] in Shechem.
Aa le hene nifanontoñe o lahilahi’ i Sekemeo, naho i Bere-milò vaho nimb’eo nañory i Abimeleke ho mpanjaka, marine’ i kile am-batolahy e Sekemey.
7 And people told to Jotham and he went and he stood on [the] top of [the] mountain of Gerizim and he lifted up voice his and he called out and he said to them listen to me O citizens of Shechem so he may listen to you God.
Aa ie natalily am’ Iotane, le nimbeo re nijohañe ambone vohi-Gerizime ey, naho nipoña-peo nipazake ty hoe: Janjiño iraho ry roandria’ i Sekemeo soa te hijanjiñe anahareo ka t’i Andrianañahare.
8 Certainly they went the trees to anoint over them a king and they said to the olive tree (reign! *Q(k)*) over us.
Niavotse mb’eo o hataeo te indraike hañori-panjaka hifehe iareo le hoe iereo amy andranahakey, Feleho zahay.
9 And it said to them the olive tree ¿ will I cease fatness my which by me people honor gods and men and will I go to sway over the trees.
Fa hoe ty natoi’ i andranahakey: Hapoko hao i menakoy, izaho iasiañe aman’ Añahare naho ondatio, handenàko hitrezontrezo ambone’ o hatae ila’eo?
10 And they said the trees to the fig tree come you reign over us.
Aa le hoe o hataeo amy sakoañey, Antao hifelek’ anay.
11 And it said to them the fig tree ¿ will I cease sweetness my and fruit my good and will I go to sway over the trees.
Fa hoe i sakoañey am’ iereo, Haforintseko hao ty hamamiko naho o voako soao, handenako hiletraletra ambone’ o hatae’eo?
12 And they said the trees to the vine come you (reign *Q(k)*) over us.
Le hoe o hatae’eo amy vahey, Antao hamelek’ anay?
13 And it said to them the vine ¿ will I cease new wine my which makes glad gods and men and will I go to sway over the trees.
Le hoe i vahey am’ iereo, Hadoko hao o divaikoo, i mahafale an’ Andrianañahare naho ondatioy, handenako hionjoñe ambone’ o hataeo?
14 And they said all the trees to the thorn bush come you reign over us.
Le hoe o hataeo amy roipitekey, Antao hifelek’ anay.
15 And it said the thorn bush to the trees if in truth you [are] anointing me to king over you come take refuge in shade my and if not let it go out a fire from the thorn bush and let it consume [the] cedars of Lebanon.
Le hoe ty roipitek’ amo hataeo, Naho horiza’ areo ho mpanjaka’ areo iraho, le mb’etoa mirimboña añ’aloko etoa; fa naho tsie, le ee te hiakatse amy roipitekey ty afo hamorototo o mendorave’ i Lebanoneo.
16 And now if in faithfulness and in integrity you have acted and you have made king Abimelech and if good you have done with Jerub-Baal and with house his and if according to [the] dealing of hands his you have done to him.
Aa naho an-kahitiañe naho havantañañe ty nanoe’ areo mpanjaka t’i Abimeleke naho nanoe’ areo soa t’Ierobaale naho i anjomba’ey vaho nanoe’ areo mañevam-pità’e—
17 That he fought father my on you and he threw life his from in front and he delivered you from [the] hand of Midian.
kanao nialy ho anahareo ty raeko, ie nitifa-by mae te nirombahe’e am-pità’ i Midiane—
18 And you you have risen up on [the] house of father my this day and you have killed sons his seventy man on stone one and you have made king Abimelech [the] son of female slave his over [the] citizens of Shechem for [is] brother your he.
ie nitroatse añ’ anjomban-draeko anindroany nanjamañe o ana’eo, i fitompolo rey ambone’ i vatoy, vaho nanoe’ areo mpanjaka amo roandria’ i Sekemeo t’i Abimelek’ ana’ i mpitoro’e ampelay, amy t’ie rahalahi’ areo—
19 And if in faithfulness and in integrity you have acted with Jerub-Baal and with house his the day this rejoice in Abimelech so he may rejoice also he in you.
aa naho toe nanoe’ areo ty hatò naho ty havañonañe am’ Ierobbaale naho amy anjomba’ey anindroany, le mirebeha amy Abimeleke vaho ee t’ie ty hiankahak’ ama’ areo ka.
20 And if not let it go out a fire from Abimelech and let it consume [the] citizens of Shechem and Beth Millo and let it go out a fire from [the] citizens of Shechem and from Beth Millo and let it consume Abimelech.
Aa naho tsie, le ee te hiakatse amy Abimeleke ty afo hamorototo o roandria’ i Sekemeo naho i Bete-milòo; vaho hiboak’ amo roandria’ i Sekemeo naho i Bete-milòo ty afo hampangotomomoke i Abimeleke.
21 And he fled Jotham and he ran away and he went Beer towards and he dwelt there [away] from before Abimelech brother his.
Nitriban-day amy zao t’Iotane, nibotitsike mb’e Beere añe le nimoneñe ao ty amy fihembaña’e i Abimeleke rahalahi’ey.
22 And he ruled Abimelech over Israel three years.
Aa ie nifelek’ Israele telo taoñe t’i Abimeleke,
23 And he sent God a spirit evil between Abimelech and between [the] citizens of Shechem and they dealt treacherously [the] citizens of Shechem with Abimelech.
le nahitrin’ Añahare fañahy raty ty añivo’ i Abimeleke naho o roandria’ i Sekemeo, vaho namitak’ ate i Abimeleke o roandria’ i Sekemeo,
24 To come [the] violence of seventy [the] sons of Jerub-Baal and blood their to put on Abimelech brother their who he killed them and on [the] citizens of Shechem who they strengthened hands his to kill brothers his.
soa te ho tondroke i heloke nanoeñe amy ana-dahy fitompolo’ Ierobaaley, te hapok’ amy Abimeleke rahalahi’ iareo ty lio’ i vinono’e rey, vaho amo roandria’ i Sekeme nampaozatse o fità’eo hañohofa’e loza amo rahalahi’eoo.
25 And they set to him [the] citizens of Shechem ambushers on [the] tops of the mountains and they robbed every [one] who he passed by on them on the road and it was told to Abimelech.
Ie amy zao, nirahe’ o roandria’ i Sekemeo ty hamandroñe aze an-kaboa’ o vohitseo, le fonga nikamere’ iareo ze niary marine’ iareo, vaho natalily amy Abimeleke.
26 And he came Gaal [the] son of Ebed and brothers his and they passed on in Shechem and they trusted in him [the] citizens of Shechem.
Nivotrake eo t’i Gaale ana’ i Ebede rekets’ o longo’eo nomb’e Sekeme mb’eo; vaho niantofa’ o roandria’ i Sekemeo.
27 And they went out the field and they gathered grapes vineyards their and they trod [them] and they made rejoicings and they went [the] house of god their and they ate and they drank and they cursed Abimelech.
Aa le niavotse mb’ an-tetek’ añe iereo, le natonto’ iareo ze an-tanem-bahe ao, naho linialia’ iareo o voalobokeo naho nanao sabadidake, le nimoak’ añ’ anjomban’ drahare’ iareo ao naho nikama naho ninoñe, vaho namatse i Abimeleke.
28 And he said - Gaal [the] son of Ebed who? [is] Abimelech and who? [is] Shechem that we will serve him ¿ not [is he] [the] son of Jerub-Baal and [is] Zebul? deputy his serve [the] men of Hamor [the] father of Shechem and why? will we serve him we.
Le hoe t’i Gaale ana’ i Ebede: Ia ze o Abimeleke zao? le akore te itika nte-Sekeme ro mitoroñe aze? Tsy ana’ Ierobaale hao re, naho i Zebole ty sorotà’e? Toroño o mpiamy Kamore rae’ i Sekemeo, fa ino ty itoroñan-tikañ’ aze?
29 And who? will he give the people this in hand my and I will remove Abimelech and he said of Abimelech make numerous army your and come out!
Aa naho tambanen-tañako ondaty retoañe, le ho nafahako t’i Abimeleke. Le hoe re amy Abimeleke, Tovoño o lahin-defo’oo vaho miakara.
30 And he heard Zebul [the] official of the city [the] words of Gaal [the] son of Ebed and it burned anger his.
Ie jinanji’ i Zebole, mpifehe’ i rovay i enta’ i Gaaley le niforoforo ty haviñera’e;
31 And he sent messengers to Abimelech in treachery saying here! Gaal [the] son of Ebed and brothers his [are] coming Shechem towards and here they [are] shutting up the city on you.
vaho nampihitrife’e ampamañahiañe amy Abimeleke, ty hoe: Ingo nivotrake e Sekeme ao t’i Gaale ana’ i Ebede, rekets’ o longo’eo le nihafatrare’ iareo i rovay hifotets’ azo.
32 And therefore arise night you and the people which [is] with you and lie in wait in the field.
Ie amy zao miongaha halen-drehe naho o mpiama’oo vaho vandroño an-kivok’ ao.
33 And it will be in the morning when rises the sun you will rise early and you will make a raid on the city and there! he and the people which [is] with him [are] going out against you and you will do to him just as it will find hand your.
Ie maraindray naho manjirik’ andro le mañaleñaleña vaho tameo i rovay; aa ie miakatse hifanehak’ ama’ areo rekets’ o lahindefo’eo, le ano’ am’ iereo ze mete.
34 And he arose Abimelech and all the people which [was] with him night and they lay in wait on Shechem four companies.
Aa le niongak’ amy haleñey t’i Abimeleke rekets’ ondaty iaby ama’eo namandroñe i Sekeme am-pirai-lia efatse.
35 And he went out Gaal [the] son of Ebed and he stood [the] entrance of [the] gate of the city and he arose Abimelech and the people which [was] with him from the ambush.
Ie niavotse naho nijohañe am-pimoaha’ i lalambeiy t’i Gaale ana’i Ebede, le nilonadonàke boak’ am-piampirañe ao t’i Abimeleke rekets’ o mpiama’e iabio;
36 And he saw Gaal the people and he said to Zebul there! a people [is] coming down from [the] tops of the mountains and he said to him Zebul [the] shadow of the mountains you [are] seeing like men.
aa ie niisa’ i Gaale ondaty iabio, le hoe re amy Zebole; Heheke ondaty mizotso boak’ an-kaboa’ o vohitseoo. Le hoe ty Zebole ama’e: Mahaoniñe o talinjo’ i vohitseio irehe manahake t’ie ondaty.
37 And he repeated again Gaal to speak and he said there! a people [are] coming down from with [the] center of the land and a company one [is] coming from [the] direction of [the] great tree of [the] soothsayer.
Nindrae’ i Gaale i saontsi’ey ami’ty hoe: Hehe ondaty mizotso añivon-tane mb’ etoañeo, naho ty lia’e raike miary e Elone-meonenime mb’etoa.
38 And he said to him Zebul where? then [is] mouth your O [you] who you said who? [is] Abimelech that we will serve him ¿ not [is] this the people which you rejected it go out please now and fight against him.
Aa hoe t’i Zebole ama’e: Aia henaneo ty vava’o nanao ty hoe: Ia ze o Abimeleke zao hitoroñan-tika aze? Tsy ondaty heje’oo hao o ehoeke eio? Mizotsoa arè hialia’o.
39 And he went out Gaal before [the] citizens of Shechem and he fought against Abimelech.
Aa le nionjomb’eo aolo’ ondati’ i Sekemeo t’i Gaale nifandrapak’ amy Abimeleke.
40 And he pursued him Abimelech and he fled from before him and they fell [those] fatally wounded many to [the] entrance of the gate.
Hinorìda’ i Abimeleke, le nitriban-day aolo’e mb’eo, vaho maro ty fere nitsingoritritse, pak’ am-pimoahañe an-dalambey eo.
41 And he dwelt Abimelech at Arumah and he drove out Zebul Gaal and brothers his from dwelling at Shechem.
Aa le nimoneñe e Aromà ao t’i Abimeleke; vaho rinoa’ i Zebole t’i Gaale naho o longo’eo, tsy hitoboke e Sekeme ao.
42 And it was from [the] next day and it went out the people the field and people told to Abimelech.
Ie amy loak’ àndroy le niakatse mb’ an-kivoke mb’eo ondatio; naho natalily amy Abimeleke.
43 And he took the people and he divided them into three companies and he lay in wait in the field and he saw and there! the people [was] going out from the city and he rose up on them and he struck down them.
Aa le nendese’e ondatio naho zinara’e ho firimboñan-telo, naho niampitse an-kivok’ ao; ie rendre’e te ingo niakatse i rovay ondatio; le nilonadonake mb’am’ iereo vaho binaibai’e.
44 And Abimelech and the companies which [were] with him they made a raid and they stood [the] entrance of [the] gate of the city and [the] two the companies they made a raid on all [those] who [were] in the field and they struck down them.
Nañitrike mb’eo amy zao t’i Abimeleke naho o mpiama’eo naho nijohañe an-dalambey eo; le niambotraha’ ty mpirai-lia’e roe ka ondaty an-kivok’ ao vaho nanjamañe.
45 And Abimelech [was] fighting against the city all the day that and he captured the city and the people which [was] in it he killed and he pulled down the city and he sowed it salt.
Aa le naha lomoñ’ andro ty nialia’ i Abimelek’ amy rovay; naho rinambe’e i rovay naho binaibai’e ondatio; naho dinemodemo’e i rovay vaho nandraraha’e sira.
46 And they heard all [the] citizens of [the] tower of Shechem and they went into [the] underground chamber of [the] house of El-Berith.
Ie jinanji’ ondaty am-pitalakesañ’ abo’ i Sekemeo, le niziliha’ iareo ty fipalirañe an-trañon-drahare’ i Berite ao.
47 And it was told to Abimelech that they had gathered together all [the] citizens of [the] tower of Shechem.
Natalily amy Abimeleke te fa vory iaby ty mpiaolo’ i fitalakesañ’ abo’ i Sekemey.
48 And he went up Abimelech [the] mountain of Zalmon he and all the people which [was] with him and he took Abimelech the axes in hand his and he cut off a branch of wood and he lifted up it and he put [it] on shoulder his and he said to the people which [was] with him whatever you have seen I have done hurry do like me.
Le niañambone’ ty vohi-Tsalmone amy zao t’i Abimeleke, ie naho ze hene mpiama’e; nandrambe fekoñe t’i Abimeleke naho binira’e ty ran-katae raike le rinambe’e naho nasampe’e an-tsoro’e eo vaho nanao ty hoe am’ondatio: I nirendre’ areo nanoekoy, masikà, ano ka.
49 And they cut off also all the people everyone own branch his and they went after Abimelech and they put [them] over the underground chamber and they set on fire over them the underground chamber with fire and they died also all [the] men of [the] tower of Shechem about a thousand man and woman.
Aa le songa nibira hatae ondatio naho nañorike i Abimeleke naho napo’ iareo añ’ ila’ i fitalakesañ’aboy vaho narehe’ iareo añ’ afo i anjomba nitañe iareoy; le fonga nihomake o am-pitalakesa’ i Sekemeo, va’e lahilahy naho ampela arivo.
50 And he went Abimelech to Thebez and he encamped at Thebez and he captured it.
Nomb’e Tebetse mb’eo t’i Abimeleke naho nitobe eo le naname i Tebetse vaho rinambe’e.
51 And a tower of strength it was in [the] middle of the city and they fled there towards all the men and the women and all [the] citizens of the city and they shut [the] door behind them and they went up on [the] roof of the tower.
Fe añivo’ i rovay ty fitalakesañ’ abo fatratse; le fonga nivoratsake mb’eo ondaty naho rakembao, toe ze tan-drova ao; sinikada’ iareo am-boho’ iareo i lalañey vaho nanganike mb’an-digiligi’ i fitalakesañ’aboy ey.
52 And he came Abimelech to the tower and he fought against it and he drew near to [the] entrance of the tower to burn it with fire.
Le nimb’ amy fitalakesañ’ aboy mb’eo t’i Abimeleke; aa ie pok’ an-dalambei’e eo hanodots’ aze añ’afo,
53 And she threw a woman one a mill-stone of an upper mill-stone on [the] head of Abimelech and it crushed skull his.
le navokovoko’ ty rakemba añambone’e ey ty vato fandisañ’ ambone, namoy ty haran-doha’e.
54 And he called quickly to the young man - [who] carried armor his and he said to him draw sword your and kill me lest people should say of me a woman she killed him and he pierced through him young man his and he died.
Tinoka’e amy zao i ajalahy mpitàm-pikalan-defo’ey, le nanoa’e ty hoe: Tsoaho o fibara’oo le vonò iraho tsy mone hatao t’ie vinonon-drakemba; aa le tinombo’ i ajalahiy vaho nikoromake.
55 And they saw [the] man of Israel that he was dead Abimelech and they went everyone to own place his.
Ie nirendre’ o ana’ Israeleo te mate t’i Abimeleke, le nimpoly songa mb’ an-toe’e mb’eo.
56 And he repaid God [the] evil of Abimelech which he had done to father his by killing seventy brothers his.
Izay ty namalean’ Añahare ty halò-tsere’ i Abimeleke, i nanoa’e aman-drae’ey, ie namono i fonga rahalahi’e fitompolo rey;
57 And all [the] evil of [the] men of Shechem he repaid God on head their and it came to them [the] curse of Jotham [the] son of Jerub-Baal.
naho nondrohan’ Añahare añ’ambone’ o nte-Sekemeo ka ty haloloa’ iareo; vaho toly am’ iereo ty fatse nanoa’ Iotame ana’ Ierobaale.
