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 a messenger of the Lord came up from Gilgal to Bochim, And he said, I caused you to go up out of Egypt, and I brought you unto the land which I had sworn unto your fathers; and I said, I will not break my covenant with you for ever.
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?
But ye for your part shall make no covenant with the inhabitants of this land; their altars shall ye throw down; but ye have not obeyed my voice: what is this ye have done?
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 also have said, I will not drive them out from before you; but they shall be evil neighbors to you, and their gods shall become a snare unto you.
4 Ie nagado’ i anjeli’ Iehovày i tsara amo ana’ Israeleoy le nipoña-peo an-drovetse ondatio.
And it came to pass, when the messenger of the Lord spoke these words unto 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 called the name of that place, Bochim; and they sacrificed there unto 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 when Joshua had let the people go, the children of Israel went every man unto his inheritance to take possession of 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 after Joshua, who had seen all the great deeds of the Lord, which he had done for Israel.
8 Nivilasy amy zao t’Iehosoa, ana’i None, mpitoro’ Iehovà, ie ni-zato-tsi-folo taoñe ty ha’antera’e.
Then died Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of the Lord, being one 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 on the border of his inheritance in Timnath-cheres, in the mountain of Ephraim, on the north side of mount Ga'ash.
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 also all that generation were gathered unto their fathers; and there arose another generation after them, who knew not the Lord, and likewise not the deeds which he had done for Israel.
11 Aa le nanao ty hatsivokarañe am-pivazohoa’ Iehovà o ana’Israeleo amy fitoroña’ iareo i Baaley.
And the children of Israel did the evil in the eyes of the Lord, and served the Be'alim:
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 the God of their fathers, who had brought them out of the land of Egypt, and they went after other gods, of the gods of the nations that were round about them, and they bowed themselves unto them, and incensed the Lord.
13 Toe niambohoa’ iareo t’Iehovà le nitoroñe i Baale naho i Astarote.
And they forsook the Lord, and served Baal and 'Ashtaroth.
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 anger of the Lord was kindled against Israel, and he delivered them into the hand of spoilers who spoiled them, and he sold them into the hand of their enemies round about, and they were not able any longer to stand before 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.
Whithersoever they went out, the hand of the Lord was against them for evil, as the Lord had spoken, and as the Lord had sworn unto them: and they were greatly distressed.
16 Nampitroatse mpizaka amy zao t’Iehovà handrombake iareo am-pità’ o mpamaokeo.
And the Lord raised up judges, and they delivered them out of the hand of those that spoiled them.
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.
But also unto their judges they did not hearken; but they went astray after other gods, and bowed themselves unto them: they turned quickly out of the way which their fathers had walked in, to obey the commandments 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 when the Lord raised them up judges, then was the Lord with the judge, and he delivered them out of the hand of their enemies all the days of the judge; for the Lord bethought himself because of their groaning by reason of those that oppressed them and ill-treated 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 returned, and became more corrupt than their fathers, in going after other gods to serve them, and to bow down unto them: they omitted nothing from their doings, and from their stubborn way.
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 anger of the Lord was kindled against Israel; and he said, For the cause that this people have transgressed my covenant which I commanded their fathers, and have not hearkened unto my voice:
21 le tsy hasioko aolo’ iereo o fifelehañe nenga’ Iehosoao, ie nihomake;
So will I also for my part not drive out henceforth any man from before them out of the nations which Joshua left when he died;
22 soa te iereo ty hitsoehako Israele, he ho ambena’ iareo ty lala’ Iehovà hañaveloa’e, manahake ty nañambenan-droae’e, hera tsie.
In order to prove through them the Israelites, whether they will keep the way of the Lord, to walk therein, as their fathers did keep it, or not.
23 Aa le nenga’ Iehovà o fifelehañeo, tsy niroahe’e aniany; vaho tsy nasese’e am-pità’ Iehosoa.
And thus did the Lord leave these nations, so as not to drive them out speedily; and he delivered them not into the hand of Joshua.
