Judges 3
1 Now these [are] the nations which the LORD left, to prove Israel by them, ([even] as many [of Israel] as had not known all the wars of Canaan;
Ary ny firenena navelan’ i Jehovah ho entiny mizaha toetra ny Isiraely dia izay rehetra tsy mba nahita ny ady rehetra tany Kanana,
2 Only that the generations of the children of Israel might know to teach them war, at the least such as before knew nothing of it; )
mba ho fantatry ny taranaky ny Zanak’ Isiraely izany amin’ ny hampianarany azy hiady, indrindra fa izay tsy mbola nahalala izany akory teo aloha;
3 [Namely], five lords of the Philistines, and all the Canaanites, and the Sidonians, and the Hivites that dwelt on mount Lebanon, from mount Baal-hermon to the entrance of Hamath.
dia ireo andriana dimy tamin’ ny Filistina sy ny Kananita rehetra sy ny Sidoniana ary ny Hivita, izay nonina tany an-tendrombohitra Libanona, hatrao akaikin’ i Bala-hermona ka hatramin’ ny lalana mankany Hamata.
4 And they were to prove Israel by them, to know whether they would hearken to the commandments of the LORD, which he commanded their fathers by the hand of Moses.
Ary nentina hizaha toetra ny Isiraely ireo mba hahalalana na hihaino ny didin’ i Jehovah, izay nasainy nandidian’ i Mosesy ny razany, izy, na tsia.
5 And the children of Israel dwelt among the Canaanites, Hittites, and Amorites, and Perizzites, and Hivites, and Jebusites:
Ary ny Zanak’ Isiraely nonina teo amin’ ny Kananita sy ny Hetita sy ny Amorita sy ny Perizita sy ny Hivita ary ny Jebosita.
6 And they took their daughters to be their wives, and gave their daughters to their sons, and served their gods.
Ary naka ny zanakavavin’ ireny ho vadiny izy sady nanome ny zananivavy ho vadin’ ny zanakalahin’ ireny ka nanompo ny andriamaniny.
7 And the children of Israel did evil in the sight of the LORD, and forgot the LORD their God, and served Baalim, and the groves.
Ary nanao izay ratsy eo imason’ i Jehovah ny Zanak’ Isiraely ka nanadino an’ i Jehovah Andriamaniny ary nanompo ireo Bala sy Aseraha.
8 Therefore the anger of the LORD was hot against Israel, and he sold them into the hand of Chushan-rishathaim king of Mesopotamia: and the children of Israel served Chushan-rishathaim eight years.
Dia nirehitra tamin’ ny Isiraely ny fahatezeran’ i Jehovah, ka nivarotra azy ho eo an-tànan’ i Kosan-risataima, mpanjakan’ i Mesopotamia, Izy; dia nanompo an’ i Kosan-risataima valo taona ny Zanak’ Isiraely.
9 And when the children of Israel cried to the LORD, the LORD raised up a deliverer to the children of Israel, who delivered them, [even] Othniel the son of Kenaz, Caleb's younger brother.
Dia nitaraina tamin’ i Jehovah ny Zanak’ Isiraely, ary Jehovah nanangana mpamonjy ho an’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely, izay namonjy azy, dia Otniela, zanakalahin’ i Kenaza, zandrin’ i Kaleba.
10 And the Spirit of the LORD came upon him, and he judged Israel, and went out to war: and the LORD delivered Chushan-rishathaim king of Mesopotamia into his hand; and his hand prevailed against Chushan-rishathaim.
Ary ny Fanahin’ i Jehovah no tao aminy, dia nitsara ny Isiraely izy sady nivoaka hiady; ary Kosan-risataima, mpanjakan’ i Mesopotamia, dia natolotr’ i Jehovah teo an-tànany; ary nahery ny tànany ka namely an’ i Kosan-risataima.
11 And the land had rest forty years: and Othniel the son of Kenaz died.
Dia nandry ny tany efa-polo taona. Ary maty Otniela, zanak’ i Kenaza.
12 And the children of Israel did evil again in the sight of the LORD: and the LORD strengthened Eglon the king of Moab against Israel, because they had done evil in the sight of the LORD.
Fa nanao izay ratsy eo imason’ i Jehovah indray ny zanak’ Isiraely ary i Jehovah nampahery an’ i Eglona, mpanjakan’ i Moaba, hiady amin’ ny Isiraely, satria nanao izay ratsy eo imason’ i Jehovah izy.
13 And he gathered to him the children of Ammon and Amalek, and went and smote Israel, and possessed the city of palm-trees.
Dia nampiangona ny taranak’ i Amona sy Amaleka ho any aminy izy, ary nandeha izy ireo ka namely ny Isiraely, dia nahafaka ny tanàna be rofia.
14 So the children of Israel served Eglon the king of Moab eighteen years.
Dia nanompo an’ i Eglona, mpanjakan’ i Moaba, valo ambin’ ny folo taona ny Zanak’ Isiraely.
15 But when the children of Israel cried to the LORD, the LORD raised them up a deliverer, Ehud the son of Gera, a Benjaminite, a man left-handed: and by him the children of Israel sent a present to Eglon king of Moab.
Ary nitaraina tamin’ i Jehovah izy, dia nanangana mpamonjy ho azy Jehovah, dia Ehoda, zanak’ i Gera, avy amin’ ny taranak’ i Benjamina, lehilahy kavia; dia nampitondra azy fanomezana ho an’ i Eglona, mpanjakan’ i Moaba, ny Zanak’ Isiraely.
16 But Ehud made him a dagger which had two edges, of a cubit length; and he girded it under his raiment upon his right thigh.
Ary nanao sabatra roa lela Ehoda, hakiho ny halavany; dia nataony tao amin’ ny fehin-kibony ambanin’ ny akanjo fiadiany izany, teny am-balahany ankavanana.
17 And he brought the present to Eglon king of Moab: and Eglon [was] a very fat man.
Dia nitondra ny fanomezana ho an’ i Eglona, mpanjakan’ i Moaba, izy; ary lehilahy matavibe Eglona.
18 And when he had made an end to offer the present, he sent away the people that bore the present.
Ary rehefa vitany ny nanolorana ny fanomezana, dia nampodiny ny olona izay nitondra izany.
19 But he himself turned again from the quarries that [were] by Gilgal, and said, I have a secret errand to thee, O king: who said, Keep silence. And all that stood by him went out from him.
Fa nony tonga teo amin’ ny fihadiam-bato izay any Gilgala kosa izy, dia niverina ka nanao hoe: Misy teny holazaiko mangingina aminao, ry mpanjaka ô. Dia hoy kosa izy: Mialà kely ianareo, rizareo. Ary izay rehetra nitsangana teo anoloany dia niala teo aminy.
20 And Ehud came to him; and he was sitting in a summer-parlor, which he had for himself alone: and Ehud said, I have a message from God to thee. And he arose from [his] seat.
Ary Ehoda nanatona azy, raha nipetraka irery tao an-tilikambony fihatsiatsiahana izy. Dia hoy Ehoda: Misy teny avy amin’ Andriamanitra holazaiko aminao. Dia nitsangana niala tamin’ ny seza fiandrianana Eglona.
21 And Ehud put forth his left hand, and took the dagger from his right thigh, and thrust it into his belly:
Ary naninjitra ny tànany ankavia Ehoda ka nandray ny sabatra teny am-balahany ankavanana, dia natsatony tamin’ ny kibon’ i Eglona izany;
22 And the haft also entered after the blade: and the fat closed upon the blade, so that he could not draw the dagger out of his belly; and the dirt came out.
ary difotra mbamin’ ny zarany, ka voasaron’ ny taviny ny lelan-tsabatra, ka dia tsy nanatsoaka ny sabatra tamin’ ny kibony izy; ary niboroaka teo amin’ ny vodiny izany.
23 Then Ehud went forth through the porch, and shut the doors of the parlor upon him, and locked them.
Dia nivoaka teo amin’ ny lavarangana Ehoda ka nandrindrina ny varavaran’ ny trano ka nanidy azy tao.
24 When he had gone out, his servants came; and when they saw that, behold, the doors of the parlor [were] locked, they said, Surely he covereth his feet in his summer-chamber.
Ary rehefa nivoaka izy, dia tonga teo kosa ny mpanompon’ i Eglona; ary raha hitany fa, indro, voahidy ny varavaran’ ny tilikambo, dia hoy izy: Miavela ato an-tilikambo fihatsiahana izy aloha.
25 And they tarried till they were ashamed: and behold, he opened not the doors of the parlor, therefore they took a key and opened [them]: and behold, their lord lay dead on the earth.
Dia niandry mandra-pahaveri-heviny izy ireo, kanjo tsy namoha ny varavaran’ ny trano izy; ka dia naka ny fanalahidy izy ireo ka namoha azy; ary, indro, maty niampatra tamin’ ny rihana ny tompony
26 And Ehud escaped while they tarried; and passed beyond the quarries, and escaped to Seirath.
Fa Ehoda efa nandositra, raha mbola nitaredretra izy ireo, ka efa nihoatra ny fihadiam-bato, dia nandositra ho any Seïrata.
27 And it came to pass when he had come, that he blew a trumpet in the mountain of Ephraim, and the children of Israel went down with him from the mount, and he before them.
Ary rehefa tonga teo izy, dia nitsoka ny anjomara tany amin’ ny tany havoan’ i Efraima, dia nidina nanaraka azy avy tany amin’ ny tany havoana ny Zanak’ Isiraely, ary izy no nitarika azy.
28 And he said to them, Follow 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 towards Moab, and suffered not a man to pass over.
Ary hoy izy taminy: Manaraha ahy, fa efa natolotr’ i Jehovah eo an-tananareo ny Moabita fahavalonareo. Dia nidina nanaraka azy ny olona, ka azony ny fitàna any Jordana hankany Moaba, ary tsy nisy navelany hita na dia iray akory aza.
29 And they slew of Moab at that time about ten thousand men, all lusty, and all men of valor: and there escaped not a man.
Dia namono ny Moabita tokony ho iray alin-dahy tamin’ izany andro izany izy, samy olona vaventy sady mahery izy rehetra; ary tsy nisy afaka nandositra na dia iray akory aza.
30 So Moab was subdued that day under the hand of Israel: and the land had rest eighty years.
Dia resin’ ny tanan’ ny Isiraely ny Moabita tamin’ izany andro izany. Ary nandry valo-polo taona ny tany.
31 And after him was Shamgar the son of Anath, who slew of the Philistines six hundred men with an ox-goad; and he also delivered Israel.
Ary nanarakaraka azy Samgara, zanak’ i Anata, izay namely ny Filistina enin-jato lahy tamin’ ny fanindronan-omby; dia namonjy ny Isiraely koa izy.
