1 Aa le kinanji’ Iehosoa o nte-Reobeneo naho o nte Gadeo, naho i vakim-pifokoa’ i Menasèy,
Then Joshua called the Reubenites, 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 that Moses the servant of YHWH commanded you, and have listened to my voice in all that I commanded you.
3 tsy naforintse’ areo o rahalahi’ areoo amy hene andro rezay pake henanekeo, fa nitana’ areo ty namantoha’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’ areo.
You have not left your brothers these many days to this day, but have performed the duty of the commandment of YHWH 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.
Now YHWH your God has given rest to your brothers, as he spoke to them. Therefore now return and go to your tents, to the land of your possession, which Moses the servant of YHWH gave you beyond the 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 diligent heed to do the commandment and the law which Moses the servant of YHWH commanded you, to love YHWH your God, to walk in all his ways, to keep his commandments, to hold fast to him, and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul."
6 Izay ty nitatà’ Iehosoa iareo, le nam­polie’e, vaho noly an-kiboho’ iareo añe.
So Joshua blessed them, and sent them away; and they went 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-tribe of Manasseh Moses had given inheritance in Bashan; but to the other half gave Joshua among their brothers beyond the Jordan westward. Moreover when Joshua sent them away to their tents, he blessed them,
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 spoke to them, saying, "Return with much wealth to your tents, with very much livestock, with silver, with gold, with bronze, with iron, and with very much clothing. Divide the spoil of your enemies with your brothers."
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.
The descendants of Reuben and the descendants 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 to the land of Gilead, to the land of their possession, which they owned, according to the commandment of YHWH by 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.
When they came to the region about the Jordan, that is in the land of Canaan, the descendants of Reuben and the descendants of Gad and the half-tribe of Manasseh built there an altar by the Jordan, a great altar to look at.
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.
The children of Israel heard this, "Look, the descendants of Reuben and the descendants of Gad and the half-tribe of Manasseh have built an altar in the forefront of the land of Canaan, in the region about the Jordan, on the side that pertains to the children of Israel."
12 Naho nahajanjiñe izay o ana’ Israeleo, le nifanontoñe e Silò eo i hene valobohòn’ ana’ Israeley haname iareo añ’ aly.
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 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,
The children of Israel sent to the descendants of Reuben, and to the descendants of Gad, and to the half-tribe of Manasseh, into the land of Gilead, Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest,
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 ten princes, one prince of a fathers' house for each of the tribes of Israel; and every one of them heads of ancestral houses among the thousands 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:
They came to the descendants of Reuben, and to the descendants of Gad, and to the half-tribe of Manasseh, to the land of Gilead, and they spoke with them, saying,
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?
"Thus says the whole congregation of YHWH, 'What trespass is this that you have committed against the God of Israel, to turn away this day from following YHWH, in that you have built you an altar, to rebel this day against YHWH?
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?
Is the iniquity of Peor too little for us, from which we have not cleansed ourselves to this day, although there came a plague on the congregation of YHWH,
18 te hitsambolitio’ areo anito ty fañorihañe Iehovà? Aa kanao miola am’ Iehovà henaneo, le ho viñera’e te maray ty valobohò’ Israele.
that you must turn away this day from following YHWH? It will be, seeing that you rebel today against YHWH, that tomorrow he will be angry with the whole congregation 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.
However, if the land of your possession is unclean, then pass over to the land of the possession of YHWH, in which YHWH's tabernacle dwells, and take possession among us; but do not rebel against YHWH, nor rebel against us, in building an altar other than the altar of YHWH 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 commit a trespass in the devoted thing, and wrath fell on all the congregation of Israel? That man did not perish alone in his iniquity.'"
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 descendants of Reuben and the descendants of Gad and the half-tribe of Manasseh answered, and spoke to the heads of the thousands 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—
"El, God, YHWH. El, God, YHWH. He knows; and Israel shall know. If it was in rebellion, or if in trespass against YHWH, do not save us this day,
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 built us an altar to turn away from following YHWH; or if to offer burnt offering or meal offering, or if to offer sacrifices of peace offerings, let YHWH himself require 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,
If we have not out of concern done this, and for a reason, saying, 'In time to come your descendants might speak to our descendants, saying, "What have you to do with YHWH, 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 YHWH has made the Jordan a border between us and you, you descendants of Reuben and descendants of Gad. You have no portion in YHWH."' So your children might make our children cease from fearing YHWH.
26 Aa le hoe ty asa’ay: handranjy kitrely, tsy hisoroñañe, tsy hañengàñe;
Therefore we said, 'Let's now prepare to build ourselves an altar, not for burnt offering, nor for sacrifice;
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 it will be a witness between us and you, and between our generations after us, that we may perform the service of YHWH before him with our burnt offerings, with our sacrifices, and with our peace offerings;' that your descendants may not tell our descendants in time to come, 'You have no portion in YHWH.'
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.
Therefore we said, 'It shall be, when they tell us or our generations this in time to come, that we shall say, "Look the pattern of the altar of YHWH, which our fathers made, not for burnt offering, nor for sacrifice; but it is 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.
Far be it from us that we should rebel against YHWH, and turn away this day from following YHWH, to build an altar for burnt offering, for meal offering, or for sacrifice, besides the altar of YHWH our God that is before his tabernacle."
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.
When Phinehas the priest, and the leaders of the congregation, even the heads of the thousands of Israel that were with him, heard the words that the descendants of Reuben and the descendants of Gad and the descendants of Manasseh spoke, it pleased them well.
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.
Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest said to the descendants of Reuben, to the descendants of Gad, and to the descendants of Manasseh, "Today we know that YHWH is in the midst of us, because you have not committed this trespass against YHWH. Now you have delivered the children of Israel out of the hand of YHWH."
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.
And Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest, and the leaders, returned from the descendants of Reuben, and from the descendants of Gad, out of the land of Gilead, to the land of Canaan, to the children of Israel, and brought them word again.
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.
The thing pleased the children of Israel; and the children of Israel blessed God, and spoke no more of going up against them to war, to destroy the land in which the descendants of Reuben and the descendants of Gad lived.
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.
The descendants of Reuben and the descendants of Gad called the altar: "A witness between us that YHWH is God."
