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.
Aa le natonto’ Iehosoa e Sekeme ao o fifokoa’ Israele iabio, le kinoi’e o talè’ Israeleo naho o mpiaolo’eo naho o mpizaka’eo, naho o mpifehe’ iareoo; vaho niatrek’ añatrefan’ Añahare.
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;
Le hoe t’Iehosoa am’ondaty iabio: Hoe ty tsara’ Iehovà, i Andrianañahare’ Israele: Nimoneñe alafe’ i Sakay añe o rae’ areoo taolo; i Teràke rae’ i Avrahame naho ty rae’ i Nakore; songa nitoron-drahare ila’e.
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.
Rinambeko amy zao t’i Avrahame rae’ areo boak’ alafe’ i Sakay le niaoloako nanitsike i tane Kanàne naho nampitomboeko o tiri’eo vaho natoloko aze t’Ietsake.
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.
Natoloko am’ Ietsake t’Iakobe naho i Esave, natoloko amy Esave ty Vohi-Seire ho fanaña’e; nañavelo mb’e Mitsraime mb’eo ka t’Iakobe naho o ana’eo.
5 And I send Moses and Aaron, and plague Egypt, as I have done in its midst, and afterwards I have brought you out.
Niraheko t’i Mosè naho i Aharone vaho nametsahako angorosy ty Mitsraime amo fonga raha nanoako am’iareoo; ie modo izay le nakareko boak’ ao nahareo.
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;
Eka navotako boake Mitsraime ao o roae’ areoo; aa ie nipok’ amy sakay, le nañoridañe o roae’ areoo an-tsarete naho mpiningi-tsoavala mb’ amy Ria-Binday ao o nte-Mitsraimeo.
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.
Aa le nitoreo am’ Iehovà iereo naho nampivotraha’e ieñe ty añivo’ areo naho o nte-Mitsraimeo, le nendese’e ama’e i riakey, nañopo iareo; le nahaisake o fitoloñako e Mitsraime añeo o fihaino’ areoo; vaho nimoneñe sa lava an-dratraratra ao.
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.
Nendeseko mb’an-tanen-te-Amore mb’eo nahareo, mb’amo mpimoneñe alafe’ Iardeneio; nialia’ iareo, fe natoloko am-pità’ areo ho fanañañe o tane’ iareoo i zinevoko añatrefa’ areoy.
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,
Nitroatse amy zao t’i Balake ana’ i Tsipore, mpanjaka’ o nte-Moabeo, nialy am’ Israele, le nañirake naho kinanji’e t’i Balame ana’ i Beore, hañozoñe anahareo,
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.
fe nifoneñako tsy hañaoñe i Balame; te mone nitolom-pitata anahareo re vaho nivotsorako am-pità’e.
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.
Nitsaha’ areo Iardeney naho nivotrake e Ierikò eo; le nialy ama’ areo o nte-Ierikoo, naho o nte-Amoreo, naho o nte Perizìo, naho o nte Kanàneo, naho o nte-Kiteo, naho o nte Girgasio, naho o nte-Kivìo vaho o nte-Iebosìo; f’ie natoloko am-pità’ areo ao.
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.
Nampiaoloeko anahareo ty fanenetse nandroake iereo aolo’ areo mb’eo naho ty mpanjaka roe’ o nte Amoreo, fa tsy ami’ty fibara’o, tsy ami’ty fàle’o.
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.
Le natoloko anahareo ty tane tsy nimokora’ areo, naho rova tsy naore’ areo, vaho fa imoneña’ areo; songa mikama an-tanem-bahe naho an-tonda olive tsy nambole’e.
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;
Ie amy zao añeveño t’Iehovà le toroño an-kavañonañe naho an-katò; aitò o ‘ndrahare nitoroñen-droae’ areo alafe’ i Sakay naho e Mitsraime añeo; le toroño t’Iehovà.
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.'
Aa naho raty am-pahaisaha’ areo ty mitoroñe Iehovà, le joboño anito te ia ty ho toroñe’ areo; ke o ndrahare nitoroñen-droae’ areo alafe’ i Sakaio ndra o ndrahare’ o nte-Amore an-tane imoneña’ areoo; fa naho izaho rekets’ i akibakoy, le Iehovà ro itoroña’ay.
16 And the people answer and say, 'Far be it from us to forsake Jehovah, to serve other gods;
Natoi’ ondatio ami’ty hoe: Lavitse anay ty hifary Iehovà, hitoron-drahare ila’e;
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;
Iehovà Andrianañahare, ie ty nanese antika naho o roaen-tikañeo niakatse an-tane Mitsraime, boak’ an-trañom-pañondevozañe ao, naho nanao o fitoloñañe ra’elahio ampahaisahan-tika naho nañaro antika amo hene lia nañaveloan-tikañeo vaho añivo’ ondaty nirangan-tikañeo;
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.'
Iehovà ty nandroake o kilakila’ ondatio aolon-tika mb’eo, o nte-Amore nimoneñe an-tane atoio; aa le hitoroñe Iehovà ka zahay; amy te ie t’i Andrianañahare’ay.
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.
Le hoe t’Iehosoa am’ondatio: Tsy mahafitoroñe Iehovà nahareo; Andrianañahare masin-dRe; Andrianañahare mpamarahy; tsy hapo’e o hakeo naho tahi’ areoo
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.'
naho farie’ areo t’Iehovà, hitoron-drahare ankafankafa, fa hitolike hañoho-doza ama’ areo, ho mongore’e, ie fa nañasoa’e.
21 And the people saith unto Joshua, 'No, but Jehovah we do serve.'
Le hoe ondatio am’ Iehosoa: Aiy avao! toe ho toroñe’ay t’Iehovà.
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!')
Aa hoe t’Iehosoa am’ondatio: Valolombeloñe ama’ areo nahareo te jinobo’ areo t’Iehovà hitoroñe aze. Le hoe iereo: Toe valolombelon-jahay.
23 and, now, turn aside the gods of the stranger which [are] in your midst, and incline your heart unto Jehovah, God of Israel.'
Aa le apoho o ndrahare ankafankafa añivo’ areoo, le ampirampio am’Iehovà Andrianañahare’ Israele ty arofo’ areo.
24 And the people say unto Joshua, 'Jehovah our God we serve, and to His voice we hearken.'
Le hoe ondatio am’ Iehosoa: Hitoroñe Iehovà Andrianañahare’ay zahay, le ho haoñe’ay i fiarañanaña’ey.
25 And Joshua maketh a covenant with the people on that day, and layeth on it a statute and an ordinance, in Shechem.
Aa le nifañina am’ondatio t’Iehosoa amy andro zay vaho nampijadoña’e fañè naho fèpètse e Sekeme ao.
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.
Sinoki’ Iehosoa amy boke’ i Han’ Añaharey i saontsiy, naho rinambe’e ty vato jabajaba vaho natroa’e ambane’ ty kile an-toe-miava’ Iehovà ao.
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.'
Le hoe t’Iehosoa am’ondaty iabio, Ingo, ho valolombeloñe aman-tika ty vato tiañe, fa tsinano’e i hene lañonañe tsinara’ Iehovà aman-tikañey, aa le ho valolombeloñe ama’ areo re soa t’ie tsy hitety an’ Andrianañahare’ areo.
28 And Joshua sendeth the people away, each to his inheritance.
Aa le nampolie’ Iehosoa ondatio songa mb’ an-dova’e mb’eo.
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,
Ie añe, le nivilasy t’Iehosoa ana’ i None, mpitoro’ Iehovà, ie aman-taon-jato tsy folo.
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.
Le naleve’ iareo an-tane linova’e e Timnatserà, am-bohi’ i Efraime, avara’ i Vohi-Gaase eo.
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.
Nitoroñe Iehovà t’Israele amy ze hene andro’ Iehosoa naho amo fonga andro’ o androanavy nenga’ Iehosoao, o nahafohiñe ze hene fitoloña’ Iehovà am’ Israeleo.
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.
Le naleve’ iereo e Sekeme añ’ ila’ i teteke vinili’ Iakobe amo ana’ i Kamore, rae’ i Sekemeoy ami’ty volafoty zato o taola’ Iosefe nitakone’ o ana’Israeleo boake Mitsraimeo le nandov’ aze o ana’ Iosefeo.
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.
Nihomake ka t’i Eleazare, ana’ i Aharone vaho naleve’ iareo an-tamboho i Pinekase, ana’e, amy natolots’ aze am-bohibohi’ i Efraimey.
