Mpitsara 2
1 Nionjom-be Bokime boake Gilgale ty anjeli’ Iehovà le nanao ty hoe: Nakareko boake Mitsraime añe, naho nampimoaheko an-tane nifantàko aman-droae’ areo ao; vaho nanoeko ty hoe: Le lia’e tsy hifotetse amy fañinako ama’ areoy iraho;
And an angel of the Lord went up from Galgal to the [place of] weeping, and to Baethel, and to the house of Israel, and said to them, Thus says the Lord, I brought you up out of Egypt, and I brought you into the land which I sware to your fathers; and I said, I will never break my covenant that I have made with you.
2 fe tsy hanoa’ areo fañina amo mpimone’ ty tane toio; fa harotsa’ areo o kitreli’ iareoo, f’ie tsy nijanjiñe ty feoko; akore o nanoe’ areo zao?
And ye shall make no covenant with them that dwell in this land, neither shall ye worship their gods; but ye shall destroy their graven images, ye shall pull down their altars: but ye hearkened not to my voice, for ye did these things.
3 Aa le natovoko ty hoe: Tsy ho roaheko aolo’ areo mb’eo fa ho fatik’ an-deme’ areo, naho ho fandrik’ ama’ areo o ‘ndrahare’ iareoo.
And I said, I will not drive them out from before you, but they shall be for a distress to you, and their gods shall be to you for an offence.
4 Ie nagado’ i anjeli’ Iehovày i tsara amo ana’ Israeleoy le nipoña-peo an-drovetse ondatio.
And it came to pass when the angel of the Lord spoke these words to all the children of Israel, that the people lifted up their voice, and wept.
5 Natao’ iareo Bokime amy zao i toetsey, vaho nanao soroñe am’ Iehovà eo.
And they named the name of that place Weepings; and they sacrificed there to the Lord.
6 Le nenga’ Iehosoa hañavelo mb’eo ondatio, vaho songa nionjomb’ amy lova’ey mb’eo o ana’ Israeleo handrambe o tane’eo.
And Joshua dismissed the people, and they went every man to his inheritance, to inherit the land.
7 Toe nitoroñe Iehovà ondatio amo hene’ andro’ Iehosoao naho amo andro’ o androanavy iaby nisisa veloñe amy fihomaha’ Iehosoaio, o nahaoniñe ty fitoloña’ Iehovà ra’elahy nanoe’e ho a Israeleo.
And the people served the Lord all the days of Joshua, and all the days of the elders that lived many days with Joshua, as many as knew all the great work of the Lord, what things he had wrought in Israel.
8 Nivilasy amy zao t’Iehosoa, ana’i None, mpitoro’ Iehovà, ie ni-zato-tsi-folo taoñe ty ha’antera’e.
And Joshua the son of Naue, the servant of the Lord, died, a hundred and ten years old.
9 Le nalenteke añ’ate’ o efe’ i tane linova’eio, e Timna-trese am-bohi’ i Efraime añ’ila’ avara’ ty vohi-Gaase ao.
And they buried him in the border of his inheritance, in Thamnathares, in mount Ephraim, on the north of the mountain of Gaas.
10 Ie fa natontoñe aman-droae’e o mpirai-nono ama’eo, le nitroatse amy zao ty tariratse tsy nahafohiñe Iehovà ndra o fitoloñañe nanoe’e am’ Israeleo.
And all that generation were laid to their fathers: and another generation rose up after them, who knew not the Lord, nor yet the work which he wrought in Israel.
11 Aa le nanao ty hatsivokarañe am-pivazohoa’ Iehovà o ana’Israeleo amy fitoroña’ iareo i Baaley.
And the children of Israel wrought evil before the Lord, and served Baalim.
12 Naforintse’ iareo t’Iehovà Andrianañaharen-droae’ iareo, i nampiakatse iereo tan-tane Mitsraimey, amy fañoriha’ iareo o ‘ndrahare ankafankafao, o ‘ndrahare’ ondaty nañohoke iareoo naho nibokobokokoa’ iareo le nahaviñetse Iehovà.
And they forsook the Lord God of their fathers, who brought them out of the land of Egypt, and walked after other gods, of the gods of the nations round about them; and they worshipped them.
13 Toe niambohoa’ iareo t’Iehovà le nitoroñe i Baale naho i Astarote.
And they provoked the Lord, and forsook him, and served Baal and the Astartes.
14 Le niforoforo am’ Israele ty haviñera’ Iehovà, le nasese’e am-pitam-pamaoke hamaoha’e, le naleta’e am-pità’ o rafelahi’e mbeombeoo, toly ndra tsy nahafitroatse amo rafelahi’eo iereo.
And the Lord was very angry with Israel; and he gave them into the hands of the spoilers, and they spoiled them; and he sold them into the hands of their enemies round about, and they could not any longer resist their enemies,
15 Aa ndra ombia-mbia ty nionjona’ iareo, le natretrè’ ty fità’ Iehovà ho ami’ty raty, ty amy tsinara’ Iehovà naho i nifantà’ Iehovày, iereo ni-vata’e ampoheke.
among whomsoever they went; and the hand of the Lord was against them for evil, as the Lord spoke, and as the Lord sware to them; and he greatly afflicted them.
16 Nampitroatse mpizaka amy zao t’Iehovà handrombake iareo am-pità’ o mpamaokeo.
And the Lord raised up judges, and the Lord save them out of the hands of them that spoiled them: and yet they hearkened not to the judges,
17 F’ie tsy nañaoñe o mpizakao, te mone niveve mb’ama’ ‘ndrahare ila’e, vaho nitalahoa’e; ie nalisa nivik’ amy lala’ nañaveloan-droae’e mpijanjiñe o lili’ Iehovàoy, toe tsy nipaoke.
for they went a whoring after other gods, and worshipped them; and they turned quickly out of the way in which their fathers walked to hearken to the words of the Lord; they did not so.
18 Ie nampitroatse mpizaka t’Iehovà, le nindre amy mpizakay t’Iehovà nandrombake iareo am-pità’ o rafelahi’eo amo hene’ andro’ i mpizakaio; amy te niferenaiña’ Iehovà ty fiñeoñeo’ iareo ty amo namorekeke vaho nanotry iareoo.
And because the Lord raised them up judges, so the Lord was with the judge, and saved them out of the hand of their enemies all the days of the judge; for the Lord was moved at their groaning by reason of them that besieged them and afflicted them.
19 Ie nihomake i mpizakay, le niamboho ka iereo, nañindra ty hatsivokara’ iareo mandikoatse o satan-droae’eo, ie nañorike ‘ndrahare ila’e hitoroñañe naho hitalahoañe; Leo raike amo sata-rati’eo tsy napo’ iareo, ndra ty fitangingì’ iareo.
And it came to pass when the judge died, that they went back, and again corrupted [themselves] worse than their fathers to go after other gods to serve them an to worship them: they abandoned not their devices nor their stubborn ways.
20 Aa le nisolebatse am’ Israele ty haviñera’ Iehovà, vaho hoe ty natao’e: Kanao nandilatse i fañinako liniliko an-droae’ iareoy ty fifeheañe toy, vaho tsy nihaoñe’ iereo ty feoko;
And the Lord was very angry with Israel, and said, Forasmuch as this nation has forsaken my covenant which I commanded their fathers, and has not hearkened to my voice,
21 le tsy hasioko aolo’ iereo o fifelehañe nenga’ Iehosoao, ie nihomake;
therefore I will not any more cast out a man of the nations before their face, which Joshua the son of Naue left in the land. And [the Lord] left [them],
22 soa te iereo ty hitsoehako Israele, he ho ambena’ iareo ty lala’ Iehovà hañaveloa’e, manahake ty nañambenan-droae’e, hera tsie.
to prove Israel with them, whether they would keep the way of the Lord, to walk in it, as their fathers kept it, or no.
23 Aa le nenga’ Iehovà o fifelehañeo, tsy niroahe’e aniany; vaho tsy nasese’e am-pità’ Iehosoa.
So the Lord will leave these nations, so as not to cast them out suddenly; and he delivered them not into the hand of Joshua.
