Josoa 24
1 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.
And Joshua gathered all the tribe of Israel to Selo, and convoked their elders, and their officers, and their judges, and set them before God.
2 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.
And Joshua said to all the people, Thus says the Lord God of Israel, Your fathers at first sojourned beyond the river, [even] Thara, the father of Abraam and the father of Nachor; and they served other gods.
3 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.
And I took your father Abraam from the other side of the river, and I guided him through all the land, and I multiplied his seed;
4 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.
and I gave to him Isaac, and to Isaac Jacob and Esau: and I gave to Esau mount Seir for him to inherit: and Jacob and his sons went down to Egypt, and became there a great and populous and mighty nation: and the Egyptians afflicted them.
5 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.
And I struck Egypt with the wonders that I wrought among them.
6 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.
And afterwards [God] brought out our fathers from Egypt, and you entered into the Red Sea; and the Egyptians pursued after our fathers with chariots and horses into the Red Sea.
7 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.
And we cried aloud to the Lord; and he put a cloud and darkness between us and the Egyptians, and he brought the sea upon them, and covered them; and your eyes have seen all that the Lord did in the land of Egypt; and you were in the wilderness many days.
8 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.
And he brought us into the land of the Amorites that lived beyond Jordan, and the Lord delivered them into our hands; and you inherited their land, and utterly destroyed them from before you.
9 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,
And Balac, king of Moab, son of Sepphor, rose up, and made war against Israel, and sent and called Balaam to curse us.
10 fe nifoneñako tsy hañaoñe i Balame; te mone nitolom-pitata anahareo re vaho nivotsorako am-pità’e.
But the Lord your God would not destroy you; and he greatly blessed us, and rescued us out of their hands, and delivered them [to us].
11 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.
And you crossed over Jordan, and came to Jericho; and the inhabitants of Jericho fought against us, the Amorite, and the Chananite, and the Pherezite, and the Evite, and the Jebusite, and the Chettite, and the Gergesite, and the Lord delivered them into our hands.
12 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.
And he sent forth the hornet before you; and he drove them out from before you, [even] twelve kings of the Amorites, not with your sword, nor with your bow.
13 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.
And he gave you a land on which you did not labor, and cities which you did not build, and you were settled in them; and you eat [of] vineyards and olive yards which you did not plant.
14 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.
And now fear the Lord, and serve him in righteousness and justice; and remove the strange gods, which our fathers served beyond the river, and in Egypt; and serve the Lord.
15 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.
But if it seem not good to you to serve the Lord, choose to yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods of your fathers that were on the other side of the river, or the gods of the Amorites, among whom you dwell upon their land: but I and my house will serve the Lord, for he is holy.
16 Natoi’ ondatio ami’ty hoe: Lavitse anay ty hifary Iehovà, hitoron-drahare ila’e;
And the people answered and said, Far be it from us to forsake the Lord, so as to serve other gods.
17 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;
The Lord our God, he is God; he brought up us and our fathers from Egypt, and kept us in all the way wherein we walked, and among all the nations through whom we passed.
18 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.
And the Lord cast out the Amorite, and all the nations that inhabited the land from before us: yes, we will serve the Lord, for he is our God.
19 Le hoe t’Iehosoa am’ondatio: Tsy mahafitoroñe Iehovà nahareo; Andrianañahare masin-dRe; Andrianañahare mpamarahy; tsy hapo’e o hakeo naho tahi’ areoo
And Joshua said to the people, Indeed you will not be able to serve the Lord, for God is holy; and he being jealous will not forgive your sins and your transgressions.
20 naho farie’ areo t’Iehovà, hitoron-drahare ankafankafa, fa hitolike hañoho-doza ama’ areo, ho mongore’e, ie fa nañasoa’e.
Whenever you shall forsake the Lord and serve other gods, then he shall come upon you and afflict you, and consume you, because he has done you good.
21 Le hoe ondatio am’ Iehosoa: Aiy avao! toe ho toroñe’ay t’Iehovà.
And the people said to Joshua, Nay, but we will serve the Lord.
22 Aa hoe t’Iehosoa am’ondatio: Valolombeloñe ama’ areo nahareo te jinobo’ areo t’Iehovà hitoroñe aze. Le hoe iereo: Toe valolombelon-jahay.
And Joshua said to the people, You [are] witnesses against yourselves, that you have chosen the Lord to serve him.
23 Aa le apoho o ndrahare ankafankafa añivo’ areoo, le ampirampio am’Iehovà Andrianañahare’ Israele ty arofo’ areo.
And now take away the strange gods that are among you, and set your heart right toward the Lord God of Israel.
24 Le hoe ondatio am’ Iehosoa: Hitoroñe Iehovà Andrianañahare’ay zahay, le ho haoñe’ay i fiarañanaña’ey.
And the people said to Joshua, We will serve the Lord, and we will listen to his voice.
25 Aa le nifañina am’ondatio t’Iehosoa amy andro zay vaho nampijadoña’e fañè naho fèpètse e Sekeme ao.
So Joshua made a covenant with the people on that day, and gave them a law and an ordinance in Selo before the tabernacle of the God of Israel.
26 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.
And he wrote these words in the book of the laws of God: and Joshua took a great stone, and set it up under the oak before the Lord.
27 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.
And Joshua said to the people, Behold, this stone shall be among you for a witness, for it has heard all the words that have been spoken to it by the Lord; for he has spoken to you this day; and this [stone] shall be among you for a witness in the last days, whenever you shall deal falsely with the Lord my God.
28 Aa le nampolie’ Iehosoa ondatio songa mb’ an-dova’e mb’eo.
And Joshua dismissed the people, and they went every man to his place.
29 Ie añe, le nivilasy t’Iehosoa ana’ i None, mpitoro’ Iehovà, ie aman-taon-jato tsy folo.
And it came to pass after these things that Joshua the son of Naue the servant of the Lord died, [at the age] of a hundred and ten years.
30 Le naleve’ iareo an-tane linova’e e Timnatserà, am-bohi’ i Efraime, avara’ i Vohi-Gaase eo.
And they buried him by the borders of his inheritance in Thamnasarach in the mount of Ephraim, northward of the mount of Galaad.
31 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.
And Israel served the Lord all the days of Joshua, and all the days of the elders that lived as long as Joshua, and all that knew all the works of the Lord which he wrought for Israel.
32 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.
And the children of Israel brought up the bones of Joseph out of Egypt, and buried [them] in Sicima, in the portion of the land which Jacob bought of the Amorites who lived in Sicima for a hundred ewe-lambs; and he gave it to Joseph for a portion.
33 Nihomake ka t’i Eleazare, ana’ i Aharone vaho naleve’ iareo an-tamboho i Pinekase, ana’e, amy natolots’ aze am-bohibohi’ i Efraimey.
And it came to pass afterwards that Eleazar the high-priest the son of Aaron died, and was buried in Gabaar of Phinees his son, which he gave him in mount Ephraim.
