Josoa 22
1 Aa le kinanji’ Iehosoa o nte-Reobeneo naho o nte Gadeo, naho i vakim-pifokoa’ i Menasèy,
Then Joshua sent for the Reubenites and the Gadites and the half-tribe of Manasseh,
2 le hoe re am’ iereo: Fa hene nambena’ areo ze nandilia’ i Mosè mpitoro’ Iehovà anahareo, naho hinao’ areo ty feoko amy ze hene nandiliako;
And said to them, You have kept all the orders of Moses, the Lord's servant, and have done everything I gave you orders to do:
3 tsy naforintse’ areo o rahalahi’ areoo amy hene andro rezay pake henanekeo, fa nitana’ areo ty namantoha’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’ areo.
You have now been with your brothers for a long time; till this day you have been doing the orders of the Lord your God.
4 Aa ie henane zao, fa tinolo’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’ areo fitofàñe o rahalahi’ areoo hambañe amy tsinara’e am’ iereoy; aa le mimpolia, naho mionjona mb’ an-kiboho’ areo añe, mb’an-tane fanaña’ areo, i natolo’ i Mosè mpitoro’ Iehovà alafe’ Iardene añey.
And now the Lord your God has given your brothers rest, as he said: so now you may go back to your tents, to the land of your heritage, which Moses, the Lord's servant, gave to you on the other side of Jordan.
5 Ehe mitomira hañoriha’ areo o fepètseo naho i Hake namantoha’ i Mosè mpitoro’ Iehovày, ty hikoko Iehovà Andrianañahare’ areo naho hañavelo amo lala’e iabio, hañambeñe o fepè’eo naho hivontititse ama’e, hitoroñe aze an-kaampon’ arofo naho an-kaliforam-pañova.
Only take great care to do the orders and the law which Moses, the Lord's servant, gave you; to have love for the Lord your God and to go in all his ways; and to keep his laws and to be true to him and to be his servants with all your heart and with all your soul.
6 Izay ty nitatà’ Iehosoa iareo, le nampolie’e, vaho noly an-kiboho’ iareo añe.
Then Joshua gave them his blessing and sent them away: and they went back to their tents.
7 Ie amy zao, fa natolo’ i Mosè amy vakim-pifokoa’ i Menasèy ty lova’e e Basane ao; fa ami’ty vaky ila’ey ka ty nanolora’ Iehosoa añivon-droahalahi’ iareo, alafe’ Iardeney ahandrefañe añe. Le nitata iareo t’Iehosoa, naho nampolie’e mb’ an-kiboho’ iareo añe,
Now to the one half of the tribe of Manasseh, Moses had given a heritage in Bashan; but to the other half, Joshua gave a heritage among their brothers on the west side of Jordan. Now when Joshua sent them away to their tents, he gave them his blessing,
8 le hoe ty asa’e tam’ iereo: Mimpolia mb’ an-kiboho’ areo mb’eo reketse vara bey naho añombe maro naho volafoty naho volamena naho torisìke naho viñe vaho milogologoa sikiñe tsi-efa; le ifanjarao amo longo’ areoo i nikopahe’ areo amo rafelahi’ areoo.
And said to them, Go back with much wealth to your tents, and with very much cattle, with silver and gold and brass and iron, and with a very great store of clothing; give your brothers a part of the goods taken in the war.
9 Aa le nienga amo ana’ Israele e Silò an-tane Kanàneo o ana’ i Reobeneo naho o ana’ i Gadeo naho ty vakim-pifokoa’ i Menasè nimb’an-tane Gilade, mb’ an-tane’ iareo mb’eo, i tane nitavane’ iereo ty amy lili’ Iehovà am-pità’ i Mosèiy.
So Reuben and Gad and the half-tribe of Manasseh went back, parting from the children of Israel at Shiloh in the land of Canaan, to go to the land of Gilead, to the land of their heritage which had been given to them by the Lord's order to Moses.
10 Aa ie nivotrak’ an-toetse marine Iardeney, an-tane’ i Kanàne eo, le rinanji’ o ana’ i Reobeneo, naho o ana’ i Gadeo, naho ty vakim-pifokoa’ i Menasè kitrely marine Iardeney, ty kitrely jabajaba ho sambaeñe.
Now when they came to the country by Jordan in the land of Canaan, the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the half-tribe of Manasseh put up there, by Jordan, a great altar, seen from far.
11 Jinanji’ o ana’ Israeleo amy zao ty hoe: Hehe te namboatse kitrely añ’efe-tane’ i Kanàne, marine Iardene, ami’ty lafi’ o ana’ Israeleo o ana’i Reobeneo naho o ana’ i Gadeo, naho ty vakim-pifokoa’ i Menasè.
And news came to the children of Israel, See, the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the half-tribe of Manasseh have put up an altar opposite the land of Canaan, in the country by Jordan on the side which is Israel's.
12 Naho nahajanjiñe izay o ana’ Israeleo, le nifanontoñe e Silò eo i hene valobohòn’ ana’ Israeley haname iareo añ’ aly.
Then all the meeting of the children of Israel, hearing this, came together at Shiloh to go up against them to war.
13 Aa le nirahe’ o ana’ Israeleo mb’ amo ana’ i Reobeneo naho o ana’ i Gadeo vaho i vakim-pifokoa’ i Menasèy, mb’an-tane Gilade mb’eo t’i Pinekase ana’ i Elazare mpisoroñe,
And the children of Israel sent Phinehas, the son of Eleazar the priest, to the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the half-tribe of Manasseh, to the land of Gilead,
14 reketse roandria folo, songa raik’ amo mpiaolon’ anjomba’ o fifokoa’ Israeleoo; hene talen’ anjomban-droae’e amo Israele añ’ arivo’eo.
And with him they sent ten chiefs, one for every tribe of the children of Israel, every one of them the head of his house among the families of Israel.
15 Niheo mb’ amo ana’ i Reobeneo naho o ana’ i Gadeo naho i vakim-pifokoa’ i Menasèy an-tane Gilade mb’eo iereo, vaho nilañoñe ty hoe ama’e:
And they came to the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the half-tribe of Manasseh, to the land of Gilead, and said to them,
16 Hoe i valobohò’ Iehovày: Ino ze o fikitrohañe nanoe’ areo aman’ Añahare’ Israele zao kanao niambohoa’ areo anindroany ty fañorihañe Iehovà ie nandranjy kitrely hiolà’ areo am’ Iehovà henane zao?
This is what all the meeting of the people of the Lord has said, What is this wrong which you have done against the God of Israel, turning back this day from the Lord and building an altar for yourselves, and being false to the Lord?
17 Tsy nahaeneñe antika hao i hakeo e Peorey, ie mb’e tsy neferan-tika pake henane, ndra te nifetsak’ amy valobohò’ Iehovày ty angorosy?
Was not the sin of Baal-peor great enough, from which we are not clear even to this day, though punishment came on the people of the Lord,
18 te hitsambolitio’ areo anito ty fañorihañe Iehovà? Aa kanao miola am’ Iehovà henaneo, le ho viñera’e te maray ty valobohò’ Israele.
That now you are turned back from the Lord? and, because you are false to him today, tomorrow his wrath will be let loose on all the people of Israel.
19 Akore arè t’ie niota-faly an-tanem-panaña’ areo, te tsy hitsaha’ areo mb’an-tanem-panaña’ Iehovà, mb’ am-pimoneñan-kivoho’ Iehovà mb’eo vaho mangala-panaña ama’ay ao, fa ko miola am’ Iehovà ndra ama’ay handranjia’ areo kitrely tovo’ i kitreli’ Iehovà Andrianañaharen-tikañey.
But if the land you now have is unclean, come over into the Lord's land where his House is, and take up your heritage among us: but do not be false to the Lord and to us by building yourselves an altar in addition to the altar of the Lord our God.
20 Tsy nandilatse hao t’i Akane ana’ i Tserà amo raha navaheñeo ie nifetsahan-kaviñerañe ty valobohò’ Israele iaby? vaho tsy indatiy avao ty nikoromake ty amy tahi’ey.
Did not Achan, the son of Zerah, do wrong about the cursed thing, causing wrath to come on all the people of Israel? And not on him only came the punishment of death.
21 Nanoiñe amy zao o ana’ i Reobeneo naho o ana’ i Gadeo, naho i vakim-pifokoa’ i Menasèy, nanao ty hoe amo mpifelek’ arivo’ Israeleo.
Then the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the half-tribe of Manasseh said in answer to the heads of the families of Israel,
22 Iehovà Andrianañahare Andrianamboatse! Iehovà Andrianañahare Andrianamboatse ro maharofoanañe, naho ho fohi’ Israele; naho fiola ndra fikitrohan-draty am’ Iehovà—le ko rombahen-jahay te anito—
God, even God the Lord, God, even God the Lord, he sees, and Israel will see — if it is in pride or in sin against the Lord,
23 ty nandranjia’ay ty kitrely toy hiambohoa’ay am’ Iehovà; hisoroñe ama’e ndra enga-mahakama, ndra engan-kanintsiñe, le ee t’ie ho tsoehe’ Iehovà;
That we have made ourselves an altar, being false to the Lord, keep us not safe from death this day; and if for the purpose of offering burned offerings on it and meal offerings, or peace-offerings, let the Lord himself send punishment for it;
24 hera nanoe’ay ami’ty fivazobazora’ay t’ie amy ze añe mete hivolañe amo ana’aio o ana’ areoo hanao ty hoe: Ino ama’ areo hao t’Iehovà, Andrianañahare’ Israele,
And if we have not, in fact, done this designedly and with purpose, having in our minds the fear that in time to come your children might say to our children, What have you to do with the Lord, the God of Israel?
25 ie nampañefere’ Iehovà an-tika Iardeney? Aa le tsy manañ’ anjara amy Iehovà nahareo ana’ i Reobene naho ana’ i Gade; ke izay ty hampanjehara’ o ana’ areoo o ana’aio tsy hañeveña’ iareo amy Iehovà?
For the Lord has made Jordan a line of division between us and you, the children of Reuben and the children of Gad; you have no part in the Lord: so your children will make our children give up fearing the Lord.
26 Aa le hoe ty asa’ay: handranjy kitrely, tsy hisoroñañe, tsy hañengàñe;
So we said, Let us now make an altar for ourselves, not for burned offerings or for the offerings of beasts:
27 f’ie valolombeloñe añivo anahareo naho zahay naho o tariratse manonjohy antikañeo, hahazoa’ay mitolom-pitoroñe añatrefa’ Iehovà amy fisoroña’aio naho amo engae’aio, naho amo engam-pañanintsi’aio; vaho tsy hanao ty hoe amo ana’aio o ana’ areoo amy ze añe izay, ty hoe: Tsy aman’ anjara am’ Iehovà nahareo.
But to be a witness between us and you, and between the future generations, that we have the right of worshipping the Lord with our burned offerings and our offerings of beasts and our peace-offerings; so that your children will not be able to say to our children in time to come, You have no part in the Lord.
28 Aa le hoe ty asa’ ay: Ie manao i hoe zay aman-tika ndra amo tarira’aio amy ze añe zay, le hanao ty hoe tika: hehe te nitsikombea’ay i kitreli’ Iehovà rinanjin-droaen-tikañey, tsy ho fisoroñañe fa ho valolombeloñe añivo inahareo naho zahay.
For we said to ourselves, If they say this to us or to future generations, then we will say, See this copy of the Lord's altar which our fathers made, not for burned offerings or offerings of beasts, but for a witness between us and you.
29 Lavitse anay ty hiola am’ Iehovà naho ty hiambohoa’ay am’ Iehovà tsy hañoriha’ay aze te anito, handranjia’ay kitrely hisoroña’ay ndra engan-koroañe naho tsy amy kitreli’ Iehovà Andrianañaharen-tika añatrefa’ i kivoho’ey avao.
Never let it be said that we were false to the Lord, turning back this day from him and building an altar for burned offerings and meal offerings and offerings of beasts, in addition to the altar of the Lord our God which is before his House.
30 Ie jinanji’i Pinekase mpisoroñe naho o roandria’ i valobohòkey naho o mpifelek’ arivo’ o ana’ Israele nindre ama’eo i lañona’ o ana’ i Reobeneo naho o ana’ i Gadeo naho o ana’ i Menasèo Izay, le ni-no’ iereo.
Then Phinehas the priest and the chiefs of the meeting and the heads of the families of Israel who were with him, hearing what the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the children of Manasseh said, were pleased.
31 Le hoe t’i Pinekase ana’ i Elazare, mpisoroñe amo ana’ i Reobeneo naho amo ana’ i Gadeo vaho amo ana’ i Menasèo, Oni’ay androany te amantika t’Iehovà amy te tsy nanoe’ areo ze o fiolàñe am’ Iehovà zao, vaho navotso’ areo am-pità’ Iehovà o ana’ Israeleo.
And Phinehas, the son of Eleazar the priest, said to the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the children of Manasseh, Now we are certain that the Lord is among us, because you have not done this wrong against the Lord: and you have kept us from falling into the hands of the Lord.
32 Aa le nibalike boak’ amo ana’ i Reobene naho amo ana’ i Gade an-tane Giladeo, mb’ an-tane Kanàne mb’amo ana’ Israeleo mb’eo t’i Pinekase ana’ i Elazare mpisoroñe naho o roandriañeo, ninday i saontsiy am’ iereo.
Then Phinehas, the son of Eleazar the priest, and the chiefs went back from the land of Gilead, from the children of Reuben and the children of Gad, and came to the children of Israel in Canaan and gave them the news.
33 Nino’ o ana’ Israeleo i entañe zay, le nañandriañe an’ Andrianañahare o ana’ Israeleo naho tsy natao’ iereo ka ty hionjon-kialy naho hanjevoñe i tane imoneña’ o ana’ i Reobeneo naho o ana’ i Gadeoy.
And the children of Israel were pleased about this; and they gave praise to God, and had no more thought of going to war against the children of Reuben and the children of Gad for the destruction of their land.
34 Aa le nitokave’ o ana’ i Reobeneo naho o ana’ i Gadeo ty hoe Ede i kitreliy: fa valolombelo añivontika, te Iehovà ro Andrianañahare.
And the children of Reuben and the children of Gad gave to that altar the name of Ed. For, they said, It is a witness between us that the Lord is God.
