Josoa 22

1 Ary tamin’ izay dia nantsoin’ i Josoa ny Robenita sy ny Gadita sy ny antsasaky ny firenen’ i Manase,

Then Joshua called the Reubenites, and the Gadites, and the half tribe of Manasseh,

2 ka hoy izy taminy: Hianareo efa nitandrina izay rehetra nandidian’ i Mosesy mpanompon’ i Jehovah anareo sady efa nihaino ny feoko koa tamin izay rehetra nandidiako anareo;

and said unto them, Ye have kept all that Moses the servant of the LORD commanded you, and have hearkened unto my voice in all that I commanded you:

3 tsy nilaozanareo ny rahalahinareo hatramin’ izany andro maro izany ka mandraka androany fa notandremanareo ny lalàna nasain’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrareo notandremanareo.

ye have not left your brethren these many days unto this day, but have kept the charge of the commandment of the LORD your God.

4 Ary ankehitriny dia efa nomen’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrareo fitsaharana ny rahalahinareo, araka izay nolazainy taminy; koa modia ankehitriny, ka mankanesa any amin’ ny lainareo avy, ho any amin’ ny taninareo, izay nomen’ i Mosesy, mpanompon’ i Jehovah, anareo any an-dafin’ i Jordana.

And now the LORD your God hath given rest unto your brethren, as he spake unto them: therefore now turn ye, and get you unto your tents, unto the land of your possession, which Moses the servant of the LORD gave you beyond Jordan.

5 Kanefa mitandrema tsara mba hanaraka ny didy sy ny lalàna izay nandidian’ i Mosesy, mpanompon’ i Jehovah, anareo, hitiavanareo an’ i Jehovah Andriamanitrareo sy handehananareo amin’ ny lalany rehetra sy hitandremanareo ny didiny sy hifikiranareo aminy ary hanompoanareo Azy amin’ ny fonareo rehetra sy ny fanahinareo rehetra.

Only take diligent heed to do the commandment and the law, which Moses the servant of the LORD commanded you, to love the LORD your God, and to walk in all his ways, and to keep his commandments, and to cleave unto him, and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul.

6 Dia nitso-drano azy Josoa ka nampody azy; dia lasa nankany amin’ ny lainy avy izy.

So Joshua blessed them, and sent them away: and they went unto their tents.

7 Ary ny antsasaky ny firenen’ i Manase efa nomen’ i Mosesy lova tany Basana; fa ny antsasany kosa efa nomen’ i Josoa teo amin’ ny rahalahiny etỳ an-dafy andrefan’ i Jordana. Ary raha nampodin’ i Josoa ho any amin’ ny lainy koa ireo, dia notsofiny rano izy

Now to the one half tribe of Manasseh Moses had given [inheritance] in Bashan: but unto the other half gave Joshua among their brethren beyond Jordan westward. Moreover when Joshua sent them away unto their tents, he blessed them,

8 ka nilazany hoe: Modia ho any amin’ ny lainareo avy ianareo, mitondra harena be sy omby aman’ ondry be indrindra sy volafotsy sy volamena sy varahina sy vy ary fitafiana be dia be; ary iombony amin’ ny rahalahinareo ny babo azo tamin’ ny fahavalonareo.

and spake unto them, saying, Return with much wealth unto your tents, and with very much cattle, with silver, and with gold, and with brass, and with iron, and with very much raiment: divide the spoil of your enemies with your brethren.

9 Dia nody ny taranak’ i Robena sy Gada ary ny antsasaky ny firenen’ i Manase ka nandao ny Zanak’ Isiraely tao Silo, izay ao amin’ ny tany Kanana, hankany amin’ ny tany Gileada ho any amin’ ny zara-taniny, izay azony araka ny tenin’ i Jehovah nasainy nolazain’ i Mosesy.

And the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the half tribe of Manasseh returned, and departed from the children of Israel out of Shiloh, which is in the land of Canaan, to go unto the land of Gilead, to the land of their possession, whereof they were possessed, according to the commandment of the LORD by the hand of Moses.

10 Ary raha tonga teo amoron’ i Jordana eo amin’ ny tany Kanana ny taranak’ i Robena sy Gada ary ny antsasaky ny firenen’ i Manase, dia nanorina alitara teo izy, ary lehibe ny fijery izany alitara izany.

And when they came unto the region about Jordan, that is in the land of Canaan, the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the half tribe of Manasseh built there an altar by Jordan, a great altar to see to.

11 Ary ny Zanak’ Isiraely nahare hoe: Indreo, ny taranak’ i Robena sy Gada ary ny antsasaky ny firenen’ i Manase efa nanorina alitara an-tsisin’ ny tany Kanana, eo amoron’ i Jordana, anatin’ ny tanin’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely.

And the children of Israel heard say, Behold, the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the half tribe of Manasseh have built an altar in the forefront of the land of Canaan, in the region about Jordan, on the side that pertaineth to the children of Israel.

12 Ary nony ren’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely izany, dia niangona tao Silo ny fiangonana, dia ny Zanak’ Isiraely rehetra, mba hiakatra hiady aminy.

And when the children of Israel heard of it, the whole congregation of the children of Israel gathered themselves together at Shiloh, to go up against them to war.

13 Dia naniraka an’ i Finehasa, zanak’ i Eleazara mpisorona, ny Zanak’ Isiraely ho any amin’ ny taranak’ i Robena sy Gada ary ny antsasaky ny firenen’ i Manase, any amin’ ny tany Gileada,

And the children of Israel sent unto the children of Reuben, and to the children of Gad, and to the half tribe of Manasseh, into the land of Gilead, Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest;

14 sy loholona folo lahy koa niaraka taminy, dia loholona iray isam-pirenena tamin’ ny Isiraely rehetra: samy lohan’ ny fianakaviany tamin’ ny arivon’ ny Isiraely ireo.

and with him ten princes, one prince of a fathers’ house for each of the tribes of Israel; and they were every one of them head of their fathers’ houses among the thousands of Israel.

15 Dia tonga tany amin’ ny taranak’ i Robena sy Gada ary ny antsasaky ny firenen’ i Manase tany amin’ ny tany Gileada ireo ka niteny taminy hoe:

And they came unto the children of Reuben, and to the children of Gad, and to the half tribe of Manasseh, unto the land of Gilead, and they spake with them, saying,

16 Izao no lazain’ ny fiangonan’ i Jehovah rehetra: Inona izato fahotana nataonareo amin’ Andriamanitry ny Isiraely, no niala tamin’ ny fanarahana an’ i Jehovah ianareo androany tamin’ ny nanorenanareo alitara ka miodina amin i Jehovah ankehitriny?

Thus saith the whole congregation of the LORD, What trespass is this that ye have committed against the God of Israel, to turn away this day from following the LORD, in that ye have builded you an altar, to rebel this day against the LORD?

17 Zavatra kely loatra amintsika va ilay heloka ny amin’ i Peora, izay tsy mbola nahadiovantsika ny tenantsika ho afaka amin’ izany mandraka androany na dia efa nisy aza ilay areti-mandringana tamin’ ny fiangonan’ i Jehovah,

Is the iniquity of Peor too little for us, from which we have not cleansed ourselves unto this day, although there came a plague upon the congregation of the LORD,

18 no dia mihodìna miala amin’ ny fanarahana an’ i Jehovah ianareo anio? Raha miodina amin’ i Jehovah ianareo anio, dia ho tezitra amin’ ny fiangonana, dia ny Isiraely rehetra, Izy rahampitso.

that ye must turn away this day from following the LORD? and it will be, seeing ye rebel today against the LORD, that tomorrow he will be wroth with the whole congregation of Israel.

19 Kanefa raha maloto ny taninareo, dia mità ho any amin’ ny tanin’ i Jehovah, izay itoeran’ ny tabernakelin’ i Jehovah, ka any aminay maka fonenana; fa aza miodina amin’ i Jehovah, na miodina aminay, amin’ ny anorenanareo alitara afa-tsy ny alitaran’ i Jehovah Andriamanitsika.

Howbeit, if the land of your possession be unclean, then pass ye over unto the land of the possession of the LORD, wherein the LORD’S tabernacle dwelleth, and take possession among us: but rebel not against the LORD, nor rebel against us, in building you an altar besides the altar of the LORD our God.

20 Tsy nandika ny didy va Akana, zanak’ i Zera, tamin’ ny zavatra voaozona, ka nisy fahatezerana nahatratra ny fiangonana, dia ny Isiraely rehetra? Ary tsy io lehilahy irery io ihany no maty tamin’ izany helony izany.

Did not Achan the son of Zerah commit a trespass in the devoted thing, and wrath fell upon all the congregation of Israel? and that man perished not alone in his iniquity.

21 Dia namaly ny taranak’ i Robena sy Gada ary ny antsasaky ny firenen’ i Manase ka nanao tamin’ ny mpifehy arivo tamin’ ny Isiraely hoe:

Then the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the half tribe of Manasseh answered, and spake unto the heads of the thousands of Israel,

22 Andriamanitra Andriananahary, dia Jehovah eny Andriamanitra Andriananahary, dia Jehovah, Izy no mahalala, ary ny Isiraely hahalala koa; raha fiodinana na fahadisoana amin’ i Jehovah (aza mba mamonjy anay akory Hianao anio),

The LORD, the God of gods, the LORD, the God of gods, he knoweth, and Israel he shall know; if it be in rebellion, or if in trespass against the LORD, (save thou us not this day, )

23 raha izany no nanorenanay alitara, mba hiala amin’ ny fanarahana an’ i Jehovah, na hanatitra fanatitra dorana, na fanatitra hohanina, na fanati-pihavanana, eo amboniny dia aoka Jehovah no hanadina;

that we have built us an altar to turn away from following the LORD; or if to offer thereon burnt offering or meal offering, or if to offer sacrifices of peace offerings thereon, let the LORD himself require it;

24 fa tahotra tokoa no anton’ ny nanaovanay izao; fa hoy izahay: Rahatrizay dia hanontany ny taranakay ny taranakareo hoe: Moa mifaninona akory ianareo sy Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely?

and if we have not [rather] out of carefulness done this, [and] of purpose, saying, In time to come your children might speak unto our children, saying, What have ye to do with the LORD, the God of Israel?

25 fa Jordana no nataon’ i Jehovah ho faritra eo anelanelantsika, ry taranak’ i Robena sy Gada, ka tsy manana anjara amin’ i Jehovah ianareo; ka dia hampitsaharan’ ny taranakareo tsy hatahotra an’ i Jehovah ny taranakay,

for the LORD hath made Jordan a border between us and you, ye children of Reuben and children of Gad; ye have no portion in the LORD: so shall your children make our children cease from fearing the LORD.

26 Dia hoy izahay: Aoka isika hanorina alitara ho antsika, tsy hanaterana fanatitra dorana anefa, na fanatitra hafa alatsa-drà,

Therefore we said, Let as now prepare to build us an altar, not for burnt offering, nor for sacrifice:

27 fa mba ho vavolombelona ho amintsika sy ny taranatsika mandimby antsika, hanaovanay ny fanompoana an’ i Jehovah eo anatrehany amin’ ny hanaterana fanatitra dorana sy fanatitra hafa alatsa-drà ary fanati-pihavanana mba tsy holazain’ ny taranakareo amin’ ny taranakay rahatrizay hoe: Tsy manana anjara amin’ i Jehovah ianareo.

but it shall be a witness between us and you, and between our generations after us, that we may do the service of the LORD before him with our burnt offerings, and with our sacrifices, and with our peace offerings; that your children may not say to our children in time to come, Ye have no portion in the LORD.

28 Ary hoy izahay: Raha tàhiny lazainy aminay na ny taranakay izany rahatrizay, dia hataonay hoe: Jereo ny endriky ny alitaran’ i Jehovah, izay nataon’ ny razanay, tsy hanaterana fanatitra, dorana anefa na fanatitra hafa alatsa-drà, fa mba ho vavolombelona ho amintsika roa tonta.

Therefore said we, It shall be, when they so say to us or to our generations in time to come, that we shall say, Behold the pattern of the altar of the LORD, which our fathers made, not for burnt offering, nor for sacrifice; but it is a witness between us and you.

29 Sanatria aminay raha hiodina amin’ i Jehovah ka hiala anio amin’ ny fanarahana an’ i Jehovah hanorina alitara hanaterana fanatitra dorana, na fanatitra hohanina, na fanatitra hafa alatsa-drà, afa-tsy ny alitaran’ i Jehovah Andriamanitsika, izay eo anoloan’ ny tabernakeliny.

God forbid that we should rebel against the LORD, and turn away this day from following the LORD, to build an altar for burnt offering, for meal offering, or for sacrifice, besides the altar of the LORD our God that is before his tabernacle.

30 Ary rehefa ren’ i Finehasa mpisorona sy ny lohan’ ny fiangonana, dia ny mpifehy arivo tamin’ ny Isiraely, izay niaraka taminy, ny teny izay nolazain’ ny taranak’ i Robena sy Gada ary ny taranak’ i Manase, dia sitrany izany.

And when Phinehas the priest, and the princes of the congregation, even the heads of the thousands of Israel which were with him, heard the words that the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the children of Manasseh spake, it pleased them well.

31 Ary hoy Finehasa, zanak’ i Eleazara mpisorona, tamin’ ny taranak’ i Robena sy Gada ary ny taranak’ i Manase: Fantatray anio fa eto amintsika Jehovah, satria tsy nanao izany fahadisoana izany tamin’ i Jehovah ianareo; ary amin’ izany dia efa namonjy ny Zanak’ Isiraely tamin’ ny tànan’ i Jehovah ianareo.

And Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest said unto the children of Reuben, and to the children of Gad, and to the children of Manasseh, This day we know that the LORD is in the midst of us, because ye have not committed this trespass against the LORD: now have ye delivered the children of Israel out of the hand of the LORD.

32 Ary Finehasa, zanak’ i Eleazara mpisorona, sy ny loholona dia niverina nandao ny taranak’ i Robena sy Gada tany amin’ ny tany Gileada ka nankany amin’ ny tany Kanana ho any amin’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely ary nitondra valin-teny ho any aminy.

And Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest, and the princes, returned from the children of Reuben, and from the children of Gad, out of the land of Gilead, unto the land of Canaan, to the children of Israel, and brought them word again.

33 Ary sitraky ny zanak’ Isiraely izany, dia nisaotra an’ Andriamanitra ny Zanak’ Isiraely ka tsy nihevitra hiakatra hiady aminy intsony handrava ny tany izay nonenan’ ny taranak’ i Robena sy Gada.

And the thing pleased the children of Israel; and the children of Israel blessed God, and spake no more of going up against them to war, to destroy the land wherein the children of Reuben and the children of Gad dwelt.

34 Dia nasian’ ny taranak’ i Robena sy Gada anarana hoe Edy ilay alitara fa vavolombelona ho amintsika roa tonta io fa Jehovah no Andriamanitra.

And the children of Reuben and the children of Gad called the altar [Ed]: For, [said they], it is a witness between us that the LORD is God.
