Josoa 23
1 Ie andro maro añe, naho fa nampitofà’ Iehovà amo rafelahi’e iaby mañohoke iareoo t’Israele vaho nigain-kantetse t’Iehosoa, nisilofen-kàanterañe,
And it comes to pass, many days after that YHWH has given rest to Israel from all their surrounding enemies, that Joshua is old, entering into days,
2 le fonga kinoi’ Iehosoa t’Israele naho o talè’eo naho o mpiaolo’eo naho o mpizaka’eo naho o mpifehe’eo le nanoe’e ty hoe: Fa bey iraho, mihaantetse;
and Joshua calls for all Israel, for his elderly, and for his heads, and for his judges, and for his authorities, and says to them, “I have become old; I have entered into days;
3 fa nioni’ areo ze hene nanoe’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’ areo amo kilakila’ ndatio ty ama’ areo; te nialy ho anahareo t’Iehovà Andrianañahare’ areo.
and you have seen all that your God YHWH has done to all these nations because of you, for your God YHWH [is] He who is fighting for you;
4 Ingo fa nizarako lova nahareo ty amo fifokoa’ areoo, o fifeheañe sisao, boak’ am’ Iardeney, mitraok’ amo fifeheañe fa naitoakoo, ampara’ i Riake Jabajaba mb’ am-pitsofora’ i àndroy añey.
see, I have caused these nations who are left to fall to you for an inheritance to your tribes, from the Jordan (and all the nations which I cut off), and the Great Sea [at] the [setting] sun.
5 Iehovà Andrianañahare’ areo, ie ty handronje iareo añatrefa’ areo mb’eo vaho ho roahe’e tsy ho ampahaisaha’ areo; le ho fanaña’ areo i tane’ iareoy, amy tsinara’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’ areo ama’ areoy.
As for your God YHWH, He thrusts them from your presence, and has dispossessed them from before you, and you have possessed their land, as your God YHWH has spoken to you,
6 Aa le mihafatrara hahavontititse ami’ty fañorihañe ze hene misokitse amy boke Hà’ i Mosèy ao, tsy hitsileañe ndra mb’ am-pitàn-kavana ndra havia;
and you have been very strong to keep and to do the whole that is written in the Scroll of the Law of Moses, so as not to turn aside from it right or left,
7 tsy hitraofa’ areo o kilakila’ ndatio, o sisa ama’ areoo; naho tsy ho toñoneñe ty añaran’ ndrahare’ iareoo, ko ampifantàñe, ko itoroñañe, vaho ko iambaneañe;
so as not to go in among these nations, these who are left with you; and you do not make mention of the name of their gods, nor do you swear, nor do you serve them, nor do you bow yourselves to them;
8 fe tambozoro t’Iehovà Andrianañahare’ areo, manahake ty nanoe’ areo ampara’ henaneo,
but you cleave to your God YHWH, as you have done until this day.
9 ie fa nandroake fifeheañe ra’elahy naho maozatse añatrefa’ areo t’Iehovà; le inahareo, toe leo ondaty raike tsy nitroatse ama’ areo ampara’ henane.
And YHWH is dispossessing great and mighty nations from before you; as for you, none has stood in your presence until this day;
10 Mañoridañe arivo t’indaty raik’ ama’ areo, kanao Iehovà Andrianañahare’ areo ty mialy ho anahareo, ty amy nitsara’ey.
one man of you pursues a thousand, for your God YHWH [is] He who is fighting for you, as He has spoken to you;
11 Aa le mitaoa am-pilozohañe ty hikoko Iehovà Andrianañahare’ areo.
and you have been very watchful for yourselves to love your God YHWH.
12 F’ie hibalintoa, hipitek’ amo sisa’ o fifeheañeo, o honka’e ama’ areoo, hañenga valy, himoaha’ areo, vaho iereo ama’ areo,
But—if you turn back at all and have cleaved to the remnant of these nations, these who are left with you, and intermarried with them, and gone in to them, and they to you,
13 le maharendreha an-katò te tsy ho roahe’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’ areo am-pahaisaha’ areo ka o fifeheañe retiañeo; f’ie ho fandrike naho koboñe ama’ areo, naho fifiake an-deme’ areo, vaho fatik’ am-pihaino’ areo, ampara’ t’ie mihomak’ amy tane soa natolo’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’ areoy.
certainly know that your God YHWH is not continuing to dispossess these nations from before you, and they have been to you for a trap, and for a snare, and for a scourge, in your sides, and for thorns in your eyes, until you perish from off this good ground which your God YHWH has given to you.
14 Hehe, te mb’ amy fañaveloa’ ty tane bey toy iraho henaneo; le fohi’ areo an-kaliforam-pañova naho an-kaampon’ arofo te tsy eo ty nilesa amo hene saontsy soa tsinara’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’ areo ty ama’ areoo; songa nitendreke, tsy ama’e ty nipoke.
And behold, I am going, today, in the way of all the earth, and you have known—with all your heart, and with all your soul—that there has not fallen one thing of all the good things which your God YHWH has spoken concerning you; the whole have come to you; there has not failed of it one thing.
15 Ho tondroke te, manahake te sindre nitendrek’ ama’ areo o entan-tsoa tsinara’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’ areo ama’ areoo, le songa hampifetsahe’ Iehovà ama’ areo ka o nahatahata’eo ampara’ te rinotsa’e an-tane soa natolo’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’ areo atoy.
And it has been, as there has come on you all the good thing which your God YHWH has spoken to you, so YHWH brings on you the whole of the evil thing, until His destroying you from off this good ground which your God YHWH has given to you;
16 Ie andilara’ areo i fañina’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’ areo linili’ey naho miveve hitoroñe ndrahare ila’e vaho hitalaho ama’e le hisolebotse ama’ areo ty haviñera’ Iehovà vaho hivetrake aniany an-tane soa natolo’e anahareo atoy.
in your transgressing the covenant of your God YHWH which He commanded you, and you have gone and served other gods, and bowed yourselves to them, then the anger of YHWH has burned against you, and you have perished quickly from off the good land which He has given to you.”
