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?
After that Ioshua was dead, the children of Israel asked ye Lord, saying, Who shall goe vp for vs against the Canaanites, to fight first against them?
2 Le hoe t’Iehovà, Iehodà ty hionjomb’eo fa natoloko am-pità’e i taney.
And the Lord said, Iudah shall goe vp: behold, I haue giuen the land into his hande.
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 Iudah said vnto Simeon his brother, Come vp with me into my lot, that we may fight against the Canaanites: and I likewise will goe 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.
Then Iudah went vp, and the Lord deliuered the Canaanites and the Perizzites into their hands, 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 founde Adoni-bezek in Bezek: and they fought against him, and slewe 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 the thumbes of his hands and of his feete.
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, Seuentie Kings hauing the thumbes of their hands and of their feete cut off, gathered bread vnder my table: as I haue done, so God hath rewarded me. so they brought him to Ierusalem, 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.
(Nowe the children of Iudah had fought against Ierusalem, and had taken it and smitten it with the edge of the sworde, and had set the citie 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.
Afterwarde also the children of Iudah went downe to fight against the Canaanites, that dwelt in the mountaine, and towarde the South, and in the lowe countrey.
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 Iudah went against the Canaanites that dwelt in Hebron, which Hebron beforetime was called Kiriath-arba: and they slewe Sheshai, and Ahiman and Talmai.
11 Boak’ao re nañoridañe o mpimone’ i Debireo (toe natao Kiriate-sefere ty Debire taolo).
And from thence hee went to the inhabitantes of Debir, and the name of Debir in olde time was Kiriath-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 saide, He that smiteth Kiriath-sepher, and taketh it, euen to him wil I giue 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 sonne of Kenaz Calebs yonger brother tooke it, to whome hee gaue 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 when shee came to him, shee mooued him to aske of her father a field, and shee lighted off her asse, and Caleb saide vnto 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 shee answered him, Giue mee a blessing: for thou hast giuen me a South countrey, giue me also springs of water: and Caleb gaue her the springs aboue and the springs beneath.
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 childre of Keni Moses father in law went vp out of the citie of the palme trees with the children of Iudah, into the wildernesse of Iudah, that lieth in the South of Arad, and 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.
But Iudah went with Simeon his brother, and they slewe the Canaanites that inhabited Zephath, and vtterly destroied it, and called the name of the citie 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 Iudah tooke Azzah with the coasts thereof, and Askelon with the coasts thereof, and Ekron with the coastes 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 Iudah, and he possessed the mountaines: for he could not driue out the inhabitantes of the valleis, because they had charrets of yron.
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 gaue Hebron vnto Caleb, as Moses had saide, and hee expelled thence the three sonnes 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.
But the children of Beniamin did not cast out the Iebusites, that inhabited Ierusalem: therefore the Iebusites dwell with the children of Beniamin in Ierusalem vnto this day.
22 Aa naho i anjomba’ Iosefey, naname i Betele ka iereo vaho nolora’ Iehovà.

And the spies sawe a man come out of the citie, and they saide vnto him, Shewe vs, we praie thee, the way into the citie, and we will shewe thee mercie.
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 hee had shewed them the waie into the citie, they smote the citie with the edge of the sworde, but they let the man and all his housholde depart.
26 Nomb’ an-tane’ o nte Kiteo indatiy le namboatse rova vaho natao’e Loze ty añara’e, le mbe ie henaneo.
Then the man went into the lande of the Hittites, and built a citie, and called the name thereof Luz, which is the name thereof vnto this daie.
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 destroie Bethshean with her townes, nor Taanach with her townes, nor the inhabitantes of Dor with her townes, nor the inhabitants of Ibleam with her townes, neither the inhabitants of Megiddo with her townes: but the Canaanites dwelled still in that lande.
28 Ie añe naho naozatse t’Israele le nampandoa’e haba o nte-Khanàneo fa tsy fonga niroaheñe.
Neuerthelesse when Israel was strong, they put the Canaanites to tribute, and expelled them not wholly.
29 Tsy nahafaniotse o nte-Khanàne nimoneñe e Gezereo ka t’i Efraime, fe nitrao-pimoneñe am’ iereo e Gezere ao o nte-Khanàneo.
Likewise Ephraim expelled not the Canaanites that dwelt in Gezer, but the Canaanites dwelt in Gezer among them.

Neither did Asher cast 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,

But the Asherites dwelt among the Canaanites the inhabitantes of the lande: for they did not driue 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 driue out the inhabitants of Beth-shemesh, nor the inhabitants of Beth-anath, but dwelt among the Canaanites the inhabitants of the lande: neuerthelesse the inhabitantes of Beth-shemesh, and of Beth-anath became tributaries vnto them.

And the Amorites droue the children of Dan into the mountaine: so that they suffered them not to come downe 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.
