Mpitsara 1
1 Ie fa nivilasy t’Iehosoa, le nihalaly am’ Iehovà o ana’ Israeleo ami’ty hoe: Ia ty hionjoñe valoha’e mb’amo nte-Khanàneo ho anay, hialy?
NOW after the death of Joshua it came to pass, that the children of Israel asked the Lord, saying, Who shall go up for us against the Canaanites first, to fight against them?
2 Le hoe t’Iehovà, Iehodà ty hionjomb’eo fa natoloko am-pità’e i taney.
And the Lord said, Judah shall go up: behold, I have delivered the land into his hand.
3 Le hoe t’Iehoda amy Simone rahalahi’e, Mindreza amako mb’amy anjarakoy hialy amo nte-Khanàneo; le hindre ama’o ka iraho mb’amy anjara’oy. Aa le nindre lia ama’e t’i Simone.
And Judah said unto Simeon his brother, Come up with me into my lot, that we may fight against the Canaanites; and I likewise will go with thee into thy lot. So Simeon went with him.
4 Nionjom-beo t’Iehoda; naho nasese’ Iehovà am-pità’ iareo o nte-Khanàneo naho o nte-Perizeo, vaho binaibai’ iereo e Bezeke ty lahilahy rai-ale.
And Judah went up; and the Lord delivered the Canaanites and the Perizzites into their hand: and they slew of them in Bezek ten thousand men.
5 Nizoe’ iareo e Bezek’ ao t’i Adonibezeke, le nialy ama’e, vaho zinama’ iareo t’i nte-Khanàne naho t’i nte-Perize.
And they found Adoni-bezek in Bezek: and they fought against him, and they slew the Canaanites and the Perizzites.
6 Fe nipoliotse añe t’i Adonibezeke, le hinorida’ iareo naho tsinepa’iareo vaho fonga kinitsi’ iareo ty tondro-beim-pità’e naho tondrobeim-pandia’e.
But Adoni-bezek fled; and they pursued after him, and caught him, and cut off his thumbs and his great toes.
7 Le hoe t’i Adonibezeke, Nitsindrok’ ambanen-datàbako ao ty mpanjaka fitompolo kinitsin-tondrobeim-pitàñe naho tondrobeim-pandia, aa le nafoten’ Añahare amako i nanoekoy. Aa le napo’ iareo e Ierosalaime ao re, vaho ao ty nihomaha’e.
And Adoni-bezek said, Threescore and ten kings, having their thumbs and their great toes cut off, gathered their meat under my table: as I have done, so God hath requited me. And they brought him to Jerusalem, and there he died.
8 Toe fa nialy am’ Ierosalaime o ana’ Iehodao, le fa tinava’ iareo naho linafa’ iareo an-dela-pibara, vaho namiañe afo amy rovay.
Now the children of Judah had fought against Jerusalem, and had taken it, and smitten it with the edge of the sword, and set the city on fire.
9 Ie amy zay, nizotso hialy amo nte-Khanàne mpimoneñe am-bohibohitse ao naho Atimo ao vaho an-tane petrak’ ao o ana’ Iehodao.
And afterward the children of Judah went down to fight against the Canaanites, that dwelt in the mountain, and in the south, and in the valley.
10 Naname o nte-Khanàne nimoneñe e Kebroneo t’Iehoda (toe natao Kiriate’arba ty Kebrone taolo), le vinono’ iareo t’i Sesay, naho i Akimane vaho i Talmaý.
And Judah went against the Canaanites that dwelt in Hebron: (now the name of Hebron before was Kirjath-arba: ) and they slew Sheshai, and Ahiman, and Talmai.
11 Boak’ao re nañoridañe o mpimone’ i Debireo (toe natao Kiriate-sefere ty Debire taolo).
And from thence he went against the inhabitants of Debir: and the name of Debir before was Kirjath-sepher:
12 Le hoe t’i Kalebe, Ze mandafa i Kiriate-sefere vaho mandrambe aze, ty hitolorako i Aksae anak’ ampelako ho vali’e.
And Caleb said, He that smiteth Kirjath-sepher, and taketh it, to him will I give Achsah my daughter to wife.
13 I Otniele, ana’i Kenaze zai’ i Kalebe ty nandrambe aze; vaho natolo’e ama’e t’i Aksae anak’ampela’e ho tañanjomba’e.
And Othniel the son of Kenaz, Caleb’s younger brother, took it: and he gave him Achsah his daughter to wife.
14 Ie amy zao, naho nimb’ama’e, le nosihe’e hihalaly tane aman-drae’e hambolea’e. Aa ie nizotso amy borìke’ey, le hoe ty asa’ i Kalebe ama’e, Ino o paia’oo?
And it came to pass, when she came to him, that she moved him to ask of her father a field: and she lighted from off her ass; and Caleb said unto her, What wilt thou?
15 Le hoe re tama’e: Fitsezo rano iraho fa tane maike ty natolo’o ahy; ehe toloro rano manganahana ka. Aa le natolo’ i Kalebe aze o manganahana amboneo naho o manganahana ambaneo.
And she said unto him, Give me a blessing: for thou hast given me a south land; give me also springs of water. And Caleb gave her the upper springs and the nether springs.
16 Nionjoñe boak’ an-drovan-tsatrañe ao o ana’ i Keny, rafoza’ i Mosèo, mindre amo ana’ Iehodao, mb’ am-patram-bei’ Iehoda mb’eo, atimo’ i Arade ey vaho nindre nimoneñe am’ ondatio.
And the children of the Kenite, Moses’ father in law, went up out of the city of palm trees with the children of Judah into the wilderness of Judah, which lieth in the south of Arad; and they went and dwelt among the people.
17 Le nindre aman-joke’e Simone t’Iehoda, le linafa’ iareo o nte-Khanàne nimoneñe e Tsefate ao le vata’e narotsa’e. Natao Kormà ty añara’ i rovay.
And Judah went with Simeon his brother, and they slew the Canaanites that inhabited Zephath, and utterly destroyed it. And the name of the city was called Hormah.
18 Rinambe’ Iehoda ka t’i Azà rekets’ i tane’ey naho i Askelone rekets’ i tane’ey, vaho i Ekrone rekets’ i tane’ey.
Also Judah took Gaza with the coast thereof, and Askelon with the coast thereof, and Ekron with the coast thereof.
19 Nindre am’ Iehoda t’Iehovà, nandroake o am-bohibohitseo, fe tsy nahafaniotse o an-tane petrakeo ty amo saretem-bi’ iareoo.
And the Lord was with Judah; and he drave out the inhabitants of the mountain; but could not drive out the inhabitants of the valley, because they had chariots of iron.
20 Le natolo’e amy Kalebe ty Kebrone ty amy saontsi’ i Mosèy; vaho rinoa’e boak’ao i ana-dahi’ i Anake telo rey.
And they gave Hebron unto Caleb, as Moses said: and he expelled thence the three sons of Anak.
21 Tsy nahafandroake o nte-Iebosý nimoneñe e Ierosalaimeo t’i Beniamine; le mitrao-pimoneñe amo ana’ i Beniamineo pake henane o nte Iebosìo.
And the children of Benjamin did not drive out the Jebusites that inhabited Jerusalem; but the Jebusites dwell with the children of Benjamin in Jerusalem unto this day.
22 Aa naho i anjomba’ Iosefey, naname i Betele ka iereo vaho nolora’ Iehovà.
And the house of Joseph, they also went up against Beth-el: and the Lord was with them.
23 Nirahe’ i anjomba’ Iosefey ty hisarisary i Betele, i nitokaveñe ty hoe Loze taoloy.
And the house of Joseph sent to descry Beth-el. (Now the name of the city before was Luz.)
24 Nahaoniñe ondaty niakatse i rovay i mpisary rey, le hoe iereo tama’e, Atorò anay ty lalam-pimoahañe amo rovao, le hitretreza’ay.
And the spies saw a man come forth out of the city, and they said unto him, Shew us, we pray thee, the entrance into the city, and we will shew thee mercy.
25 Aa ie natoro’e ty fizilihañe amy rovay, le linafa’ iareo am-pibara i rovay, fe napo’ iareo hañavelo mb’eo indatiy reketse ty hasavereña’e iaby.
And when he shewed them the entrance into the city, they smote the city with the edge of the sword; but they let go the man and all his family.
26 Nomb’ an-tane’ o nte Kiteo indatiy le namboatse rova vaho natao’e Loze ty añara’e, le mbe ie henaneo.
And the man went into the land of the Hittites, and built a city, and called the name thereof Luz: which is the name thereof unto this day.
27 Fe tsy nahafaniotse o mpimone i Betseane naho o tanà’eo ndra i Tànake naho o tanà’eo, ndra o mpimone’ i Dore naho o tanà’eo, ndra o mpimone’ Ibleame naho o tanà’eo, ndra i Megido naho o tanà’eo t’i Menasè; amy te nifahatse amy taney o nte-Khanàne nimoneñ’ aoo.
Neither did Manasseh drive out the inhabitants of Beth-shean and her towns, nor Taanach and her towns, nor the inhabitants of Dor and her towns, nor the inhabitants of Ibleam and her towns, nor the inhabitants of Megiddo and her towns: but the Canaanites would dwell in that land.
28 Ie añe naho naozatse t’Israele le nampandoa’e haba o nte-Khanàneo fa tsy fonga niroaheñe.
And it came to pass, when Israel was strong, that they put the Canaanites to tribute, and did not utterly drive them out.
29 Tsy nahafaniotse o nte-Khanàne nimoneñe e Gezereo ka t’i Efraime, fe nitrao-pimoneñe am’ iereo e Gezere ao o nte-Khanàneo.
Neither did Ephraim drive out the Canaanites that dwelt in Gezer; but the Canaanites dwelt in Gezer among them.
30 Tsy niroahe’ i Zebolone ka o mpimone’ i Kitroneo, ndra o mpimone’ i Nahaloleo, le nitrao-pimoneñe am’ iereo o nte-Khanàneo vaho nampandoàñe haba.
Neither did Zebulun drive out the inhabitants of Kitron, nor the inhabitants of Nahalol; but the Canaanites dwelt among them, and became tributaries.
31 Tsy niroahe’ i Asere ka o mpimone’ i Akòo ndra o mpimone’ i Tsidoneo, ndra o Aklabeo, ndra i Kelbà, ndra i Afike, ndra i Rekobe;
Neither did Asher drive out the inhabitants of Accho, nor the inhabitants of Zidon, nor of Ahlab, nor of Achzib, nor of Helbah, nor of Aphik, nor of Rehob:
32 te mone nitrao-pimoneñe amo nte-Khanàne mpimoneñe amy taneio t’i Asere; fa tsy nilefe’e ty naniotse iareo.
But the Asherites dwelt among the Canaanites, the inhabitants of the land: for they did not drive them out.
33 Tsy niroahe’ i Naftalý ka o mpimone’ i Bete’semeseo, ndra o mpimone’ i Bet’anateo; te mone nitrao-pimoneñe amo nte-Khanàne mpimoneñe amy taneio; aa le nampandoa’e haba o mpimone’ i Bete-semese naho Bet’anateo.
Neither did Naphtali drive out the inhabitants of Beth-shemesh, nor the inhabitants of Beth-anath; but he dwelt among the Canaanites, the inhabitants of the land: nevertheless the inhabitants of Beth-shemesh and of Beth-anath became tributaries unto them.
34 Nazi’ o nte-Amoreo mb’ am-bohibohitse ao o ana’ i Daneo, le tsy nenga’ iareo hizotso mb’am-bavatane mb’eo.
And the Amorites forced the children of Dan into the mountain: for they would not suffer them to come down to the valley:
35 Nimanea’ o nte-Amoreo ty himoneñe am-bohi-Karese e Ai’ialone naho e Saalbime ao; fe nahagioke ty fità’ Iosefe vaho nanoe’e mpandoa haba.
But the Amorites would dwell in mount Heres in Aijalon, and in Shaalbim: yet the hand of the house of Joseph prevailed, so that they became tributaries.
36 Nifototse amy fitroara’ i Akrabimey ty efe-tane’ o nte-Amoreo, boak’ amy vatoy mañambone.
And the coast of the Amorites was from the going up to Akrabbim, from the rock, and upward.
