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.
Then Joshua gathered all the tribes of Israel to Shechem and called for the elders of Israel, for their leaders, for their judges, and for their officers, and they presented themselves 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.
Joshua said to all the people, “This is what Yahweh, the God of Israel, says, 'Your ancestors long ago lived beyond the Euphrates River—Terah, the father of Abraham and the father of Nahor—and they worshiped 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.
But I took your father from beyond the Euphrates and led him into the land of Canaan and gave him many descendants through his son Isaac.
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.
Then to Isaac I gave Jacob and Esau. I gave Esau the hill country of Seir to possess, but Jacob and his children went down to Egypt.
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.
I sent Moses and Aaron, and I afflicted the Egyptians with plagues. After that, I brought you out.
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.
I brought your ancestors out of Egypt, and you came to the sea. The Egyptians pursued them with chariots and horsemen as far as the Sea of Reeds.
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.
When your ancestors called out to Yahweh, he put darkness between you and the Egyptians. He brought the sea to come over them and cover them. You saw what I did in Egypt. Then you lived in the wilderness for a long time.
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.
I brought you to the land of the Amorites, who lived on the other side of the Jordan. They fought with you, and I gave them into your hand. You took possession of their land, and I destroyed them 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,
Then Balak son of Zippor, king of Moab, got up and attacked Israel. He sent and called for Balaam son of Beor, to curse you.
10 fe nifoneñako tsy hañaoñe i Balame; te mone nitolom-pitata anahareo re vaho nivotsorako am-pità’e.
But I did not listen to Balaam. Indeed, he blessed you. So I rescued you out of his hand.
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.
You went over the Jordan and came to Jericho. The leaders of Jericho fought against you, along with the Amorites, the Perizzites, the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Girgashites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites. I gave you victory over them and put them under your control.
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.
I sent the hornet before you, which drove them and the two kings of the Amorites out before you. It did not happen by your sword or by 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.
I gave you land on which you had not worked and cities that you had not built, and now you live in them. You eat the fruit of vineyards and olive orchards that 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.
Now fear Yahweh and worship him with all integrity and faithfulness; get rid of the gods that your ancestors worshiped beyond the Euphrates and in Egypt, and worship Yahweh.
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.
If it seems wrong in your eyes for you to worship Yahweh, choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your ancestors worshiped beyond the Euphrates, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you live. But as for me and my house, we will worship Yahweh.”
16 Natoi’ ondatio ami’ty hoe: Lavitse anay ty hifary Iehovà, hitoron-drahare ila’e;
The people answered and said, “We would never forsake Yahweh 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;
for it is Yahweh our God who brought us and our ancestors up from the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery, and who did those great signs in our sight, and who preserved us in all the way that we went, 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.
Then Yahweh drove out before us all the peoples, including the Amorites who lived in the land. So we too will worship Yahweh, 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
But Joshua said to the people, “You cannot serve Yahweh, for he is a holy God; he is a jealous God; he will not forgive your transgressions and sins.
20 naho farie’ areo t’Iehovà, hitoron-drahare ankafankafa, fa hitolike hañoho-doza ama’ areo, ho mongore’e, ie fa nañasoa’e.
If you forsake Yahweh and worship foreign gods, then he will turn and do you harm. He will consume you, after he has done good to you.”
21 Le hoe ondatio am’ Iehosoa: Aiy avao! toe ho toroñe’ay t’Iehovà.
But the people said to Joshua, “No, we will worship Yahweh.”
22 Aa hoe t’Iehosoa am’ondatio: Valolombeloñe ama’ areo nahareo te jinobo’ areo t’Iehovà hitoroñe aze. Le hoe iereo: Toe valolombelon-jahay.
Then Joshua said to the people, “You are witnesses against yourselves that you have chosen for yourselves Yahweh, to worship him.” They said, “We are witnesses.”
23 Aa le apoho o ndrahare ankafankafa añivo’ areoo, le ampirampio am’Iehovà Andrianañahare’ Israele ty arofo’ areo.
“Now put away the foreign gods that are with you, and turn your heart to Yahweh, the God of Israel.”
24 Le hoe ondatio am’ Iehosoa: Hitoroñe Iehovà Andrianañahare’ay zahay, le ho haoñe’ay i fiarañanaña’ey.
The people said to Joshua, “We will worship Yahweh our God. 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.
Joshua made a covenant with the people that day. He put in place decrees and laws at Shechem.
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.
Joshua wrote these words in the book of the law of God. He took a large stone and set it up there beneath the oak tree that was beside Yahweh's sanctuary.
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.
Joshua said to all the people, “Look, this stone will be a testimony against us. It has heard all the words Yahweh said to us. So it will be a witness against you, should you ever deny your God.”
28 Aa le nampolie’ Iehosoa ondatio songa mb’ an-dova’e mb’eo.
So Joshua sent the people away, each to his own inheritance.
29 Ie añe, le nivilasy t’Iehosoa ana’ i None, mpitoro’ Iehovà, ie aman-taon-jato tsy folo.
After these things Joshua son of Nun, the servant of Yahweh, died, being 110 years old.
30 Le naleve’ iareo an-tane linova’e e Timnatserà, am-bohi’ i Efraime, avara’ i Vohi-Gaase eo.
They buried him within the border of his own inheritance, at Timnath Serah, which is in the hill country of Ephraim, north of Mount Gaash.
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.
Israel worshiped Yahweh all of Joshua's days, and all the days of the elders who outlived Joshua, those who had experienced everything that Yahweh had done 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.
The bones of Joseph, which the people of Israel brought up out of Egypt—they buried them at Shechem, in the piece of land that Jacob had bought from the sons of Hamor, the father of Shechem. He bought it for one hundred pieces of silver, and it became an inheritance for the descendants of Joseph.
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.
Eleazar son of Aaron also died. They buried him at Gibeah, the city of Phinehas his son, which had been given to him. It was in the hill country of Ephraim.
