Joshua 24
1 And Joshua gathereth all the tribes of Israel to Shechem, and calleth for the elders of Israel, and for its heads, and for its judges, and for its authorities, and they station themselves before God.
Ary Josoa nanangona ny firenen’ ny Isiraely rehetra tany Sekema ka niantso ny loholon’ ny Isiraely sy ny lehibeny sy ny mpitsara azy ary ny mpifehy azy, ka dia niara-niseho teo anatrehan’ Andriamanitra izy ireo.
2 And Joshua saith unto all the people, 'Thus said Jehovah, God of Israel, Beyond the River have your fathers dwelt of old — Terah father of Abraham and father of Nachor — and they serve other gods;
Ary hoy Josoa tamin’ ny vahoaka rehetra: Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely: Tany an-dafin’ ny Ony no nonenan’ ny razanareo tany aloha, dia Tera, rain’ i Abrahama sy Nahora; ary nanompo andriamani-kafa izy.
3 and I take your father Abraham from beyond the River, and cause him to go through all the land of Canaan, and multiply his seed, and give to him Isaac.
Dia naka an’ i Abrahama razanareo avy tany an-dafin’ ny Ony Aho ka nitondra azy nitety ny tany Kanana rehetra, dia nahamaro ny taranany ka nanome an’ Isaka ho zanany.
4 And I give to Isaac, Jacob and Esau; and I give to Esau mount Seir, to possess it; and Jacob and his sons have gone down to Egypt.
Ary Isaka koa dia nomeko an’ i Jakoba sy Esao ho zanany; ary nomeko ho lovan’ i Esao ny tendrombohitra Seïra; fa Jakoba sy ny taranany kosa nankany Egypta.
5 And I send Moses and Aaron, and plague Egypt, as I have done in its midst, and afterwards I have brought you out.
Dia naniraka an’ i Mosesy sy Arona Aho ka namely an’ i Egypta, araka izay nataoko teo aminy; ary rehefa afaka izany, dia nitondra anareo nivoaka Aho.
6 And I bring out your fathers from Egypt, and ye go into the sea, and the Egyptians pursue after your fathers, with chariot and with horsemen, to the Red Sea;
Ary nony nitondra ny razanareo nivoaka avy tany Egypta Aho, dia tonga teo amin’ ny ranomasina ianareo; ary nanenjika ny razanareo hatreo amin’ ny Ranomasina Mena ny Egyptiana, nitaingina kalesy sy soavaly.
7 and they cry unto Jehovah, and He setteth thick darkness between you and the Egyptians, and bringeth on them the sea, and covereth them, and your eyes see that which I have done in Egypt; and ye dwell in a wilderness many days.
Dia nitaraina tamin’ i Jehovah izy, ka nasiany maizina teo anelanelanareo sy ny Egyptiana, sady nakatony taminy ny ranomasina ka naony azy, ary ny masonareo nahita izay nataoko tany Egypta; ary nitoetra ela tany efitra ianareo.
8 'And I bring you in unto the land of the Amorite who is dwelling beyond the Jordan, and they fight with you, and I give them into your hand, and ye possess their land, and I destroy them out of your presence.
Ary nentiko ho any amin’ ny tanin’ ny Amorita, izay nonina tany an-dafin’ i Jordana ianareo; dia niady taminareo ireo; ary nanolotra azy teo an-tananareo Aho, mba handovanareo ny taniny, ary nandringana azy teo anoloanareo Aho.
9 'And Balak son of Zippor, king of Moab, riseth and fighteth against Israel, and sendeth and calleth for Balaam son of Beor, to revile you,
Dia nitsangana Balaka, zanak’ i Zipora, mpanjakan’ i Moaba, ka niady tamin’ ny Isiraely; dia naniraka ka nampaka an’ i Balama, zanak’ i Beora, izy hanozona anareo.
10 and I have not been willing to hearken to Balaam, and he doth greatly bless you, and I deliver you out of his hand.
Fa tsy nety nihaino an’ i Balama Aho, koa nitahy anareo tokoa izy; ka dia namonjy anareo tamin’ ny tànany Aho.
11 'And ye pass over the Jordan, and come in unto Jericho, and fight against you do the possessors of Jericho — the Amorite, and the Perizzite, and the Canaanite, and the Hittite, and the Girgashite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite — and I give them into your hand.
Ary nita an’ i Jordana ianareo ka nankany Jeriko; dia niady taminareo ny mponina tao Jeriko mbamin’ ny Amorita sy ny Perizita sy ny Kananita sy ny Hetita sy ny Girgasita sy ny Hivita ary ny Jebosita, ka natolotro teo an-tananareo ireny.
12 And I send before you the hornet, and it casteth them out from your presence — two kings of the Amorite — not by thy sword, nor by thy bow.
Dia nampandehaniko teo anoloanareo ny fanenitra, Izay nandroaka azy teo anoloanareo, dia ny mpanjaka roa tamin’ ny Amorita, fa tsy tamin’ ny sabatrao, na tamin’ ny tsipìkanao.
13 'And I give to you a land for which thou hast not laboured, and cities which ye have not built, and ye dwell in them; of vineyards and olive-yards which ye have not planted ye are eating.
Ary nomeko tany izay tsy nasainareo ianareo sy tanàna izay tsy naorinareo ianareo ka dia nonina tao ianareo; ary nihinana ny avy amin’ ny tanim-boaloboka sy ny tanin’ oliva izay tsy nataonareo ianareo.
14 'And now, fear ye Jehovah, and serve Him, in perfection and in truth, and turn aside the gods which your fathers served beyond the River, and in Egypt, and serve ye Jehovah;
Koa ankehitriny, matahora an’ i Jehovah, ka manompoa Azy amin’ ny fahitsiana sy ny fahamarinana; ary ario ny andriamanitra izay notompoin’ ny razanareo tany an-dafin’ ny Ony sy tany Egypta, ka manompoa an’ i Jehovah.
15 and if wrong in your eyes to serve Jehovah — choose for you to-day whom ye do serve; — whether the gods whom your fathers served, which [are] beyond the River, or the gods of the Amorite in whose land ye are dwelling; and I and my house — we serve Jehovah.'
Nefa raha tsy sitrakareo ny hanompo an’ i Jehovah, dia fidionareo anio ary izay hotompoinareo, na ny andriamanitra izay notompoin’ ny razanareo tany an-dafin’ ny Ony, na ny andriamanitry ny Amorita, izay mponina teto amin’ ny tany onenanareo; fa raha izaho sy ny ankohonako kosa, dia hanompo an’ i Jehovah izahay.
16 And the people answer and say, 'Far be it from us to forsake Jehovah, to serve other gods;
Dia namaly ny vahoaka ka nanao hoe: Sanatria raha hahafoy an’ i Jehovah izahay ka hanompo izay andriamani-kafa.
17 for Jehovah our God [is] He who is bringing us and our fathers up out of the land of Egypt, out of a house of servants, and who hath done before our eyes these great signs, and doth keep us in all the way in which we have gone, and among all the peoples through whose midst we passed;
Fa Jehovah Andriamanitsika, Izy no nitondra antsika sy ny razantsika nivoaka avy tany amin’ ny tany Egypta, tany amin’ ny trano nahandevozana, ary Izy no nanao ireny famantarana lehibe ireny teo imasontsika ka niaro antsika teny amin’ ny lalana rehetra nalehantsika sy teny amin’ ny firenena rehetra izay notetezintsika.
18 and Jehovah casteth out the whole of the peoples, even the Amorite inhabiting the land, from our presence; we also do serve Jehovah, for He [is] our God.'
Ary Jehovah nandroaka ny firenena rehetra teo anoloantsika, dia ny Amorita izay nonina teto amin’ ny tany; koa izahay koa dia mba hanompo an’ i Jehovah, fa Izy no Andriamanitsika.
19 And Joshua saith unto the people, 'Ye are not able to serve Jehovah, for a God most holy He [is]; a zealous God He [is]; He doth not bear with your transgression and with your sins.
Ary hoy Josoa tamin’ ny vahoaka: Tsy mahay manompo an’ i Jehovah ianareo; fa Andriamanitra masìna Izy, Andriamanitra saro-piaro Izy ka tsy hamela ny fahadisoanareo sy ny fahotanareo.
20 When ye forsake Jehovah, and have served gods of a stranger, then He hath turned back and done evil to you, and consumed you, after that He hath done good to you.'
Raha mahafoy an’ i Jehovah ianareo ka manompo andriamani-kafa, dia hiverina Izy ka hampahory anareo sy hahafongana anareo, rehefa nasiany soa.
21 And the people saith unto Joshua, 'No, but Jehovah we do serve.'
Dia hoy ny vahoaka tamin’ i Josoa: Tsia; fa Jehovah ihany no hotompoinay.
22 And Joshua saith unto the people, 'Witnesses ye are against yourselves, that ye have chosen for you Jehovah to serve Him (and they say, 'Witnesses!')
Dia hoy Josoa tamin’ ny vahoaka: Vavolombelona ho an’ ny tenanareo ianareo fa efa nifidy an’ i Jehovah hotompoinareo. Ary hoy ny olona: Eny vavolombelona izahay.
23 and, now, turn aside the gods of the stranger which [are] in your midst, and incline your heart unto Jehovah, God of Israel.'
Arionareo ankehitriny ary ny andriamani-kafa, izay eo aminareo, ka ampanatony an’ i Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely ny fonareo.
24 And the people say unto Joshua, 'Jehovah our God we serve, and to His voice we hearken.'
Dia hoy ny vahoaka tamin’ i Josoa: Jehovah Andriamanitray no hotompoinay ary ny feony no hohenoinay
25 And Joshua maketh a covenant with the people on that day, and layeth on it a statute and an ordinance, in Shechem.
Ary dia nanao fanekena tamin’ ny vahoaka Josoa tamin’ izany andro izany ka nanome azy lalàna sy didy tany Sekema.
26 And Joshua writeth these words in the Book of the Law of God, and taketh a great stone, and raiseth it up there under the oak which [is] in the sanctuary of Jehovah.
Dia nosoratan’ i Josoa tao amin’ ny bokin’ ny lalàn’ Andriamanitra ireo teny ireo, ary naka vato lehibe izy ka nanangana azy teo ambanin’ ny hazo terebinta, izay teo anilan’ ny fitoera-masin’ i Jehovah.
27 And Joshua saith unto all the people, 'Lo, this stone is against us for a witness, for it hath heard all the sayings of Jehovah which He hath spoken with us, and it hath been against you for a witness, lest ye lie against your God.'
Dia hoy Josoa tamin’ ny vahoaka rehetra; Indro, io vato io ho vavolombelona amintsika; fa efa nahare ny teny rehetra nolazain’ i Jehovah tamintsika io, dia ho vavolombelona aminareo io, fandrao handainga amin’ Andriamanitrareo ianareo.
28 And Joshua sendeth the people away, each to his inheritance.
Dia nampodin’ i Josoa ny vahoaka samy ho any amin’ ny lovany avy.
29 And it cometh to pass, after these things, that Joshua son of Nun, servant of Jehovah, dieth, a son of a hundred and ten years,
Ary rehefa afaka izany zavatra izany, dia maty Josoa, zanak’ i Nona, mpanompon’ i Jehovah, rehefa folo amby zato taona ny androny.
30 and they bury him in the border of his inheritance, in Timnath-Serah, which [is] in the hill-country of Ephraim, on the north of the hill of Gaash.
Dia nalevina tao amin’ ny faritanin’ ny lovany izy, dia tao Timnata-sera, any amin’ ny tany havoan’ i Efraima, avaratry ny tendrombohitra Gasa.
31 And Israel serveth Jehovah all the days of Joshua, and all the days of the elders who prolonged days after Joshua, and who knew all the work of Jehovah which He did to Israel.
Ary nanompo an’ i Jehovah ny Isiraely tamin’ ny andro rehetra niainan’ i Josoa sy tamin’ ny andro rehetra niainan’ ny loholona izay velona taorian’ i Josoa ka nahalala ny asa rehetra izay nataon’ i Jehovah ho an’ ny Isiraely
32 And the bones of Joseph, which the sons of Israel brought up out of Egypt, they buried in Shechem, in the portion of the field which Jacob bought from the sons of Hamor father of Shechem, with a hundred kesitah; and they are to the sons of Joseph for an inheritance.
Ary ny taolan’ i Josefa, izay efa nentin’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely avy tany Egypta, dia naleviny tao Sekema, tao amin’ ny tany izay novidin’ i Jakoba volafotsy zato tamin’ ny zanak’ i Hamora, rain’ i Sekema; dia tonga lovan’ ny taranak’ i Josefa izany.
33 And Eleazar son of Aaron died, and they bury him in the hill of Phinehas his son, which was given to him in the hill-country of Ephraim.
Dia maty koa Eleazara, zanak’ i Arona, ka naleviny teo amin’ ny havoan’ i Finehasa zanany, izay nomena azy tany amin’ ny tany havoan’ i Efraima.
