< 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;
The angel of the LORD came up from Gilgal to Bochim. He said, "I made you to go up out of Egypt, and have brought you to the land which I swore to your fathers; and I said, 'I will never break my covenant 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 you shall make no covenant with the inhabitants of this land; you shall break down their altars.' But you have not listened to my voice: why have you done this?
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.
Therefore I also said, I will not drive them out from before you, but they will become your adversaries, and their gods shall be a snare to you."
4 Ie nagado’ i anjeli’ Iehovày i tsara amo ana’ Israeleoy le nipoña-peo an-drovetse ondatio.
It happened, 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.
They called the name of that place Bochim: 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.
Now when Joshua had sent the people away, the children of Israel went every man to his inheritance to possess 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.
The people served the LORD all the days of Joshua, and all the days of the elders who outlived Joshua, who had seen all the great work of the LORD that he had worked for Israel.
8 Nivilasy amy zao t’Iehosoa, ana’i None, mpitoro’ Iehovà, ie ni-zato-tsi-folo taoñe ty ha’antera’e.
Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of the LORD, died, being one hundred 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.
They buried him in the territory of his inheritance in Timnath Serah, in the hill country of Ephraim, on the north of the mountain of Gaash.
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 also gathered to their fathers. And there arose another generation after them who did not know the LORD, nor the works which he had done for Israel.
11 Aa le nanao ty hatsivokarañe am-pivazohoa’ Iehovà o ana’Israeleo amy fitoroña’ iareo i Baaley.
The children of Israel did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, and served the Baals;
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 brought them out of the land of Egypt, and followed other gods, of the gods of the peoples who were around them, and bowed themselves down to them: and they provoked the LORD to anger.
13 Toe niambohoa’ iareo t’Iehovà le nitoroñe i Baale naho i Astarote.
They forsook the LORD, and served Baal and the 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.
The anger of the LORD was kindled against Israel, and he delivered them into the hands of marauders who plundered them; and he sold them into the hands of their enemies all around, so that they could not any longer 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.
Wherever they went out, the hand of the LORD was against them for harm, as the LORD had spoken, and as the LORD had sworn to them: and they were in great distress.
16 Nampitroatse mpizaka amy zao t’Iehovà handrombake iareo am-pità’ o mpamaokeo.
The LORD raised up judges, who saved them out of the hand of those who plundered 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.
Yet they did not listen to their judges; for they played the prostitute after other gods, and bowed themselves down to them: they turned aside quickly out of the way in which their fathers walked, obeying the commandments of the LORD; but they did not do 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.
When the LORD raised up judges for them, then the LORD was with the judge, and saved them out of the hand of their enemies all the days of the judge: for it grieved the LORD because of their groaning by reason of those who oppressed them and troubled 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.
But it happened, when the judge was dead, that they turned back, and dealt more corruptly than their fathers, in following other gods to serve them, and to bow down to them; they did not cease from their practices, and they did not turn aside from 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;
The anger of the LORD was kindled against Israel; and he said, "Because this nation has transgressed my covenant which I commanded their fathers, and have not obeyed my voice;
21 le tsy hasioko aolo’ iereo o fifelehañe nenga’ Iehosoao, ie nihomake;
I will no longer drive out before them any of the nations that 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.
that by them I may test Israel, whether they will keep the way of the LORD to walk in it, as their fathers kept it, or not."
23 Aa le nenga’ Iehovà o fifelehañeo, tsy niroahe’e aniany; vaho tsy nasese’e am-pità’ Iehosoa.
So the LORD left those nations, without driving them out hastily; neither delivered he them into the hand of Joshua.
