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 Yahweh went up from Gilgal to Bokim, and said, “I brought you up from Egypt, and have brought you to the land I swore to give to your fathers. 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?
You must make no covenant with those who live in this land. You must tear down their altars.' But you have not listened to my voice. What is this that you 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.
So now I say, 'I will not drive the Canaanites out before you, but they will become thorns in your sides, and their gods will become a trap for you.'”
4 Ie nagado’ i anjeli’ Iehovày i tsara amo ana’ Israeleoy le nipoña-peo an-drovetse ondatio.
When the angel of Yahweh spoke these words to all the people of Israel, the people shouted and wept.
5 Natao’ iareo Bokime amy zao i toetsey, vaho nanao soroñe am’ Iehovà eo.
They called that place Bokim. There they offered sacrifices to Yahweh.
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 on their way, the people of Israel each went to the place assigned, to take ownership of their 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 Yahweh during the lifetime of Joshua and of the elders who outlived him, those who had seen all of Yahweh's great deeds 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.
Joshua son of Nun the servant of Yahweh, died at the age of 110 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 within the border of the land he was assigned in Timnath Heres, in the hill country of Ephraim, north of Mount 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.
All that generation was also gathered to their fathers. Another generation grew up after them who did not know Yahweh or what he had done for Israel.
11 Aa le nanao ty hatsivokarañe am-pivazohoa’ Iehovà o ana’Israeleo amy fitoroña’ iareo i Baaley.
The people of Israel did what was evil in the sight of Yahweh and they 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.
They broke away from Yahweh, the God of their fathers, who had brought them out of the land of Egypt. They went after other gods, the very gods of the peoples who were around them, and they bowed down to them. They provoked Yahweh to anger because
13 Toe niambohoa’ iareo t’Iehovà le nitoroñe i Baale naho i Astarote.
they broke away from Yahweh and worshiped Baal and the Ashtoreths.
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 Yahweh burned against Israel, and he gave them to the raiders who stole their possessions from them. He sold them as slaves who were held by the strength of their enemies around them, so they could no longer defend themselves against 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 Israel went out to fight, Yahweh's hand was against them to defeat them, just as he had sworn to them and they were in terrible distress.
16 Nampitroatse mpizaka amy zao t’Iehovà handrombake iareo am-pità’ o mpamaokeo.
Then Yahweh raised up judges, who saved them out of the hand of those who were stealing their possessions.
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 would not listen to their judges. They were unfaithful to Yahweh and gave themselves like prostitutes to other gods and worshiped them. They soon turned aside from the way their fathers had lived—those who had obeyed the commandments of Yahweh—but they themselves 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 Yahweh raised up judges for them, Yahweh helped the judges and rescued them from the hand of their enemies all the days the judge lived. Yahweh had pity on them as they groaned because of those who oppressed 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.
But when the judge died, they would turn away and do things that were even more corrupt than their fathers had done. They would go after other gods to serve them and worship them. They refused to give up any of their evil practices or 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 Yahweh burned against Israel; he said, “Because this nation has broken the terms of my covenant that I had set in place for their fathers—because they have not listened to my voice—
21 le tsy hasioko aolo’ iereo o fifelehañe nenga’ Iehosoao, ie nihomake;
I will not, from now on, drive out from 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.
I will do this so that I may test Israel, whether or not they will keep the way of Yahweh and walk in it, as their fathers kept it.”
23 Aa le nenga’ Iehovà o fifelehañeo, tsy niroahe’e aniany; vaho tsy nasese’e am-pità’ Iehosoa.
That is why Yahweh left those nations and did not drive them out quickly and give them into the hand of Joshua.
