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?
It happened after the death of Joshua, the children of Israel asked of YHWH, saying, "Who should go up first to fight for us against the Canaanites?"
2 Le hoe t’Iehovà, Iehodà ty hionjomb’eo fa natoloko am-pità’e i taney.
YHWH said, "Judah should go up. Look, I have delivered the land into his hand."
3 Le hoe t’Iehoda amy Simone rahalahi’e, Mindreza amako mb’amy anjarakoy hialy amo nte-Khanàneo; le hindre ama’o ka raho mb’amy anjara’oy. Aa le nindre lia ama’e t’i Simone.
Judah said to Simeon his brother, "Come up with me into my lot, that we may fight against the Canaanites; and I likewise will go with you into your 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.
Judah went up; and YHWH delivered the Canaanites and the Perizzites into their hand: and they struck 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.
They found Adoni-Bezek in Bezek; and they fought against him, and they struck 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 his thumbs and his great toes.
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.
Adoni-Bezek said, "Seventy kings, having their thumbs and their great toes cut off, scavenged under my table: as I have done, so God has requited me." They brought him to Jerusalem, and he died there.
8 Toe fa nialy am’ Ierosalaime o ana’ Iehodao, le fa tinava’ iareo naho linafa’ iareo an-dela-pibara, vaho namiañe afo amy rovay.
The people of Judah fought against Jerusalem, and took it, and struck it with the edge of the sword, and set the city 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.
Afterward the people of Judah went down to fight against the Canaanites who lived in the hill country, and in the Negev, and in the lowland.
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 Judah went against the Canaanites who lived in Hebron, and Hebron came out in opposition (now the name of Hebron before was Kiriath Arba), and they struck Sheshai, and Ahiman, and Talmai.
11 Boak’ao re nañoridañe o mpimone’ i Debireo (toe natao Kiriate-sefere ty Debire taolo).
From there he went against the inhabitants of Debir. (Now the name of Debir before 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.
Caleb said, "He who strikes Kiriath Sepher, and takes it, to him will I give Achsah my daughter as 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.
Othniel the son of Kenaz, Caleb's younger brother, took it: and he gave him Achsah his daughter as 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?
It happened, when she came to him, that she got him to ask her father for a field. And she got off from her donkey, and Caleb said to her, "What would you like?"
15 Le hoe re tama’e: Fitsezo rano raho 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.
She said to him, "Give me a blessing; since you have given me the land in the Negev, give me also springs of water." So Caleb gave her according to her heart the upper springs and the lower springs.
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 descendants of the Kenite, Moses' father-in-law, went up out of the city of palm trees with the people of Judah into the wilderness of Judah, which is in the Negev of Arad; and they went and lived with 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.
Judah went with Simeon his brother, and they struck the Canaanites who inhabited Zephath, and utterly destroyed it. The name of the city was called 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 Judah took Gaza with its territory, and Ashkelon with its territory, and Ekron with its territory, and Ashdod with its surrounding lands.
19 Nindre am’ Iehoda t’Iehovà, nandroake o am-bohibohitseo, fe tsy nahafaniotse o an-tane petrakeo ty amo saretem-bi’ iareoo.
YHWH was with Judah; and drove out the inhabitants of the hill country; for he could not drive out the inhabitants of the valley, because they had chariots of iron.
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.
They gave Hebron to Caleb, as Moses had spoken. And from there he possessed the three cities, and he drove out from there the three sons 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.
The people of Benjamin did not drive out the Jebusites who inhabited Jerusalem; but the Jebusites dwell with the people of Benjamin in Jerusalem to this day.
22 Aa naho i anjomba’ Iosefey, naname i Betele ka iereo vaho nolora’ Iehovà.
And the house of Joseph also went up against Bethel; and YHWH was with them.
23 Nirahe’ i anjomba’ Iosefey ty hisarisary i Betele, i nitokaveñe ty hoe Loze taoloy.
And the house of Joseph sent out spies to Bethel. (Now the name of the city before was Luz.)
24 Nahaoniñe ondaty niakatse i rovay i mpisary rey, le hoe iereo tama’e, Atorò anay ty lalam-pimoahañe amo rovao, le hitretreza’ay.
And the spies saw a man coming out of the city, and they captured him, and they said to him, "Please show us the entrance into the city, and we will show you mercy."
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.
He showed them the entrance into the city; and they struck the city with the edge of the sword; but they let the man go and all his family.
26 Nomb’ an-tane’ o nte Kiteo indatiy le namboatse rova vaho natao’e Loze ty añara’e, le mbe ie henaneo.
The man went into the land of the Hittites, and built a city, and called its name Luz, which is its name to this day.
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.
Manasseh did not drive out the inhabitants of Beth Shean and its towns, nor Taanach and its towns, nor the inhabitants of Dor and its towns, nor the inhabitants of Ibleam and its towns, nor the inhabitants of Megiddo and its towns; but the Canaanites would dwell in that land.
28 Ie añe naho naozatse t’Israele le nampandoa’e haba o nte-Khanàneo fa tsy fonga niroaheñe.
It happened, when Israel had grown strong, that they put the Canaanites to forced labor, and did not utterly drive them out.
29 Tsy nahafaniotse o nte-Khanàne nimoneñe e Gezereo ka t’i Efraime, fe nitrao-pimoneñe am’ iereo e Gezere ao o nte-Khanàneo.
Ephraim didn't drive out the Canaanites who lived in Gezer; but the Canaanites lived in Gezer among them.
30 Tsy niroahe’ i Zebolone ka o mpimone’ i Kitroneo, ndra o mpimone’ i Nahaloleo, le nitrao-pimoneñe am’ iereo o nte-Khanàneo vaho nampandoàñe haba.
Zebulun didn't drive out the inhabitants of Kitron, nor the inhabitants of Nahalol; but the Canaanites lived among them, and became subject to forced labor.
31 Tsy niroahe’ i Asere ka o mpimone’ i Akòo ndra o mpimone’ i Tsidoneo, ndra o Aklabeo, ndra i Kelbà, ndra i Afike, ndra i Rekobe;
Asher did not drive out the inhabitants of Acco, nor the inhabitants of Sidon, nor of Ahlab, nor of Achzib, nor of Helbah, nor of Aphik, nor of Rehob;
32 te mone nitrao-pimoneñe amo nte-Khanàne mpimoneñe amy taneio t’i Asere; fa tsy nilefe’e ty naniotse iareo.
but the Asherites lived among the Canaanites, the inhabitants of the land; for they did not drive 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.
Naphtali didn't drive out the inhabitants of Beth Shemesh, nor the inhabitants of Beth Anath; but he lived among the Canaanites, the inhabitants of the land: nevertheless the inhabitants of Beth Shemesh and of Beth Anath became subject to forced labor.
34 Nazi’ o nte-Amoreo mb’ am-bohibohitse ao o ana’ i Daneo, le tsy nenga’ iareo hizotso mb’am-bavatane mb’eo.
The Amorites forced the people of Dan into the hill country; for they would not allow them to come down 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.
but the Amorites would dwell in Mount Heres, in Aijalon, and in Shaalbim: yet the hand of the house of Joseph prevailed, so that they became subject to forced labor.
36 Nifototse amy fitroara’ i Akrabimey ty efe-tane’ o nte-Amoreo, boak’ amy vatoy mañambone.
The border of the Amorites was from the ascent of Akrabbim, from Sela and upward.
