¹Then Joshua called the Reubenites, and the Gadites, and the half tribe of Manasseh,

¹[Ny nampodiana ny firenena roa sy sasany any an-dafy atsinanan'i Jordana, sy nanorenany ilay alitara teo amoron'i Jordana, ary ny nataon'ny firenena sasany tamin'izany. ] Ary tamin'izay dia nantsoin'i Josoa ny Robenita sy ny Gadita sy ny antsasaky ny firenen'i Manase,

²and said unto them, Ye have kept all that Moses the servant of Jehovah commanded you, and have hearkened to my voice in all that I commanded you.

²ka hoy izy taminy: Hianareo efa nitandrina izay rehetra nandidian'i Mosesy mpanompon'i Jehovah anareo sady efa nihaino ny feoko koa tamin izay rehetra nandidiako anareo;

³Ye have not left your brethren these many days unto this day, and ye have kept the charge of the commandment of Jehovah your God.

³tsy nilaozanareo ny rahalahinareo hatramin'izany andro maro izany ka mandraka androany fa notandremanareo ny lalàna nasain'i Jehovah Andriamanitrareo notandremanareo.

⁴And now Jehovah your God hath given rest to your brethren, as he said unto them; and now return, and get you unto your tents, unto the land of your possession, which Moses the servant of Jehovah gave you beyond the Jordan.

⁴Ary ankehitriny dia efa nomen'i Jehovah Andriamanitrareo fitsaharana ny rahalahinareo, araka izay nolazainy taminy; koa modia ankehitriny, ka mankanesa any amin'ny lainareo avy, ho any amin'ny taninareo, izay nomen'i Mosesy, mpanompon'i Jehovah, anareo any an-dafin'i Jordana.

⁵Only, take great heed to do the commandment and the law, which Moses the servant of Jehovah commanded you, to love Jehovah your God, and to walk in all his ways, and to keep his commandments, and to cleave unto him, and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul.

⁵Kanefa mitandrema tsara mba hanaraka ny didy sy ny lalàna izay nandidian'i Mosesy, mpanompon'i Jehovah, anareo, hitiavanareo an'i Jehovah Andriamanitrareo sy handehananareo amin'ny lalany rehetra sy hitandremanareo ny didiny sy hifikiranareo aminy ary hanompoanareo Azy amin'ny fonareo rehetra sy ny fanahinareo rehetra.

⁶And Joshua blessed them, and sent them away; and they went to their tents.

⁶Dia nitso-drano azy Josoa ka nampody azy; dia lasa nankany amin'ny lainy avy izy.

⁷And to half the tribe of Manasseh Moses had given [inheritance] in Bashan, and to the other half thereof had Joshua given among their brethren on this side the Jordan westward. And when Joshua sent them away to their tents, he blessed them also,

⁷Ary ny antsasaky ny firenen'i Manase efa nomen'i Mosesy lova tany Basana; fa ny antsasany kosa efa nomen'i Josoa teo amin'ny rahalahiny etỳ an-dafy andrefan'i Jordana. Ary raha nampodin'i Josoa ho any amin'ny lainy koa ireo, dia notsofiny rano izy

⁸and spoke to them, saying, Return unto your tents with much wealth and with very much cattle, with silver, and with gold, and with copper, and with iron, and with clothing, in very great quantity; divide the spoil of your enemies with your brethren.

⁸ka nilazany hoe: Modia ho any amin'ny lainareo avy ianareo, mitondra harena be sy omby aman'ondry be indrindra sy volafotsy sy volamena sy varahina sy vy ary fitafiana be dia be; ary iombony amin'ny rahalahinareo ny babo azo tamin'ny fahavalonareo.

⁹And the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the half tribe of Manasseh returned, and departed from the children of Israel out of Shiloh, which is in the land of Canaan, to go to the country of Gilead, into the land of their possession, of which they had become possessed, according to the word of Jehovah through Moses.

⁹Dia nody ny taranak'i Robena sy Gada ary ny antsasaky ny firenen'i Manase ka nandao ny Zanak'Isiraely tao Silo, izay ao amin'ny tany Kanana, hankany amin'ny tany Gileada ho any amin'ny zara-taniny, izay azony araka ny tenin'i Jehovah nasainy nolazain'i Mosesy.

¹⁰And they came to the districts of the Jordan that are in the land of Canaan; and the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the half tribe of Manasseh built there an altar by the Jordan, an altar of grand appearance.

¹⁰Ary raha tonga teo amoron'i Jordana eo amin'ny tany Kanana ny taranak'i Robena sy Gada ary ny antsasaky ny firenen'i Manase, dia nanorina alitara teo izy, ary lehibe ny fijery izany alitara izany.

¹¹And the children of Israel heard say, Behold, the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the half tribe of Manasseh have built an altar over against the land of Canaan, in the districts of the Jordan, separately from the children of Israel.

¹¹Ary ny Zanak'Isiraely nahare hoe: Indreo, ny taranak'i Robena sy Gada ary ny antsasaky ny firenen'i Manase efa nanorina alitara an-tsisin'ny tany Kanana, eo amoron'i Jordana, anatin'ny tanin'ny Zanak'Isiraely.

¹²And when the children of Israel heard [of it], the whole assembly of the children of Israel gathered together at Shiloh, to go up against them to war.

¹²Ary nony ren'ny Zanak'Isiraely izany, dia niangona tao Silo ny fiangonana, dia ny Zanak'Isiraely rehetra, mba hiakatra hiady aminy.

¹³And the children of Israel sent to the children of Reuben, and to the children of Gad, and to the half tribe of Manasseh, into the land of Gilead, Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest,

¹³Dia naniraka an'i Finehasa, zanak'i Eleazara mpisorona, ny Zanak'Isiraely ho any amin'ny taranak'i Robena sy Gada ary ny antsasaky ny firenen'i Manase, any amin'ny tany Gileada,

¹⁴and with him ten princes, of each father's house a prince, out of all the tribes of Israel; and each of them was head of a father's house, of the thousands of Israel.

¹⁴sy loholona folo lahy koa niaraka taminy, dia loholona iray isam-pirenena tamin'ny Isiraely rehetra: samy lohan'ny fianakaviany tamin'ny arivon'ny Isiraely ireo.

¹⁵And they came to the children of Reuben, and to the children of Gad, and to the half tribe of Manasseh, to the land of Gilead, and spoke with them, saying,

¹⁵Dia tonga tany amin'ny taranak'i Robena sy Gada ary ny antsasaky ny firenen'i Manase tany amin'ny tany Gileada ireo ka niteny taminy hoe:

¹⁶Thus saith the whole assembly of Jehovah: What wickedness is this which ye have committed against the God of Israel, to turn away this day from following Jehovah, in that ye have built yourselves an altar, rebelling this day against Jehovah?

¹⁶Izao no lazain'ny fiangonan'i Jehovah rehetra: Inona izato fahotana nataonareo amin'Andriamanitry ny Isiraely, no niala tamin'ny fanarahana an'i Jehovah ianareo androany tamin'ny nanorenanareo alitara ka miodina amin i Jehovah ankehitriny?

¹⁷Is the iniquity of Peor too little for us? from which we are not cleansed until this day, although there was a plague in the assembly of Jehovah.

¹⁷Zavatra kely loatra amintsika va ilay heloka ny amin'i Peora, izay tsy mbola nahadiovantsika ny tenantsika ho afaka amin'izany mandraka androany na dia efa nisy aza ilay areti-mandringana tamin'ny fiangonan'i Jehovah,

¹⁸And ye turn away this day from following Jehovah; and it will be, that since ye rebel this day against Jehovah, to-morrow he will be wroth with the whole assembly of Israel.

¹⁸no dia mihodina miala amin'ny fanarahana an'i Jehovah ianareo anio? Raha miodina amin'i Jehovah ianareo anio, dia ho tezitra amin'ny fiangonana, dia ny Isiraely rehetra, Izy rahampitso.

¹⁹Notwithstanding, if the land of your possession is unclean, come over into the land of the possession of Jehovah, where Jehovah's tabernacle dwelleth, and take possession amongst us; but rebel not against Jehovah, and rebel not against us, in building for yourselves an altar besides the altar of Jehovah our God.

¹⁹Kanefa raha maloto ny taninareo, dia mità ho any amin'ny tanin'i Jehovah, izay itoeran'ny tabernakelin'i Jehovah, ka any aminay maka fonenana; fa aza miodina amin'i Jehovah, na miodina aminay, amin'ny anorenanareo alitara afa-tsy ny alitaran'i Jehovah Andriamanitsika.

²⁰Did not Achan the son of Zerah commit a trespass in the accursed thing? and wrath fell on all the assembly of Israel, and he perished not alone in his iniquity.

²⁰Tsy nandika ny didy va Akana, zanak'i Zera, tamin'ny zavatra voaozona, ka nisy fahatezerana nahatratra ny fiangonana, dia ny Isiraely rehetra? Ary tsy io lehilahy irery io ihany no maty tamin'izany helony izany.[Heb. herema; izahao Lev. xxii. 28]

²¹And the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the half tribe of Manasseh answered and said to the heads of the thousands of Israel,

²¹Dia namaly ny taranak'i Robena sy Gada ary ny antsasaky ny firenen'i Manase ka nanao tamin'ny mpifehy arivo tamin'ny Isiraely hoe:

²²The ùGod of gods, Jehovah, the ùGod of gods, Jehovah, he knoweth, and Israel he shall know [it]; if it is in rebellion, or if in trespass against Jehovah, -- save us not this day!

²²Andriamanitra Andriananahary, dia Jehovah eny Andriamanitra Andriananahary, dia Jehovah, Izy no mahalala, ary ny Isiraely hahalala koa; raha fiodinana na fahadisoana amin'i Jehovah (aza mba mamonjy anay akory Hianao anio),

²³-- that we have built for ourselves an altar to turn from following Jehovah, and if it is to offer up burnt-offering and oblation on it, and if to offer peace-offerings thereon, let Jehovah himself require it [from us];

²³raha izany no nanorenanay alitara, mba hiala amin'ny fanarahana an'i Jehovah, na hanatitra fanatitra dorana, na fanatitra hohanina, na fanati-pihavanana. eo amboniny dia aoka Jehovah no hanadina;

²⁴and if we have not done it from fear of this thing, saying, In future your children will speak to our children, saying, What have ye to do with Jehovah the God of Israel?

²⁴fa tahotra tokoa no anton'ny nanaovanay izao; fa hoy izahay: Rahatrizay dia hanontany ny taranakay ny taranakareo hoe: Moa mifaninona akory ianareo sy Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely?

²⁵Jehovah hath made the Jordan a border between us and you, ye children of Reuben and children of Gad, ye have no portion in Jehovah! And so shall your children make our children cease from fearing Jehovah.

²⁵fa Jordana no nataon'i Jehovah ho faritra eo anelanelantsika, ry taranak'i Robena sy Gada, ka tsy manana anjara amin'i Jehovah ianareo; ka dia hampitsaharan'ny taranakareo tsy hatahotra an'i Jehovah ny taranakay,

²⁶And we said, Let us now set to work to build an altar, not for burnt-offering, nor for sacrifice,

²⁶Dia hoy izahay: Aoka isika hanorina alitara ho antsika, tsy hanaterana fanatitra dorana anefa, na fanatitra hafa alatsa-drà,

²⁷but to be a witness between us and you, and between our generations after us, that we might do service to Jehovah before him with our burnt-offerings, and with our sacrifices, and with our peace-offerings; that your children may not say to our children in future, Ye have no portion in Jehovah.

²⁷fa mba ho vavolombelona ho amintsika sy ny taranatsika mandimby antsika, hanaovanay ny fanompoana an'i Jehovah eo anatrehany amin'ny hanaterana fanatitra dorana sy fanatitra hafa alatsa-drà ary fanati-pihavanana mba tsy holazain'ny taranakareo amin'ny taranakay rahatrizay hoe: Tsy manana anjara amin'i Jehovah ianareo.

²⁸And we said, If it shall be that in future they so say to us and to our generations, we will say, Behold the pattern of the altar of Jehovah which our fathers made, not for burnt-offering, nor for sacrifice, but as a witness between us and you.

²⁸Ary hoy izahay: Raha tàhiny lazainy aminay na ny taranakay izany rahatrizay, dia hataonay hoe: Jereo ny endriky ny alitaran'i Jehovah, izay nataon'ny razanay, tsy hanaterana fanatitra, dorana anefa na fanatitra hafa alatsa-drà, fa mba ho vavolombelona ho amintsika roa tonta.

²⁹Far be it from us that we should rebel against Jehovah, and turn this day from following Jehovah, in building an altar for burnt-offering, for oblation, and for sacrifice, besides the altar of Jehovah our God that is before his tabernacle.

²⁹Sanatria aminay raha hiodina amin'i Jehovah ka hiala anio amin'ny fanarahana an'i Jehovah hanorina alitara hanaterana fanatitra dorana, na fanatitra hohanina, na fanatitra hafa alatsa-drà, afa-tsy ny alitaran'i Jehovah Andriamanitsika, izay eo anoloan'ny tabernakeliny.

³⁰And when Phinehas the priest and the princes of the assembly and the heads of the thousands of Israel that were with him heard the words that the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the children of Manasseh spoke, it was good in their sight.

³⁰Ary rehefa ren'i Finehasa mpisorona sy ny lohan'ny fiangonana, dia ny mpifehy arivo tamin'ny Isiraely, izay niaraka taminy, ny teny izay nolazain'ny taranak'i Robena sy Gada ary ny taranak'i Manase, dia sitrany izany.

³¹And Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest said unto the children of Reuben, and to the children of Gad, and to the children of Manasseh, This day we perceive that Jehovah is among us, because ye have not committed this trespass against Jehovah: now have ye delivered the children of Israel out of the hand of Jehovah.

³¹Ary hoy Finehasa, zanak'i Eleazara mpisorona, tamin'ny taranak'i Robena sy Gada ary ny taranak'i Manase: Fantatray anio fa eto amintsika Jehovah, satria tsy nanao izany fahadisoana izany tamin'i Jehovah ianareo; ary amin'izany dia efa namonjy ny Zanak'Isiraely tamin'ny tànan'i Jehovah ianareo.

³²And Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest, and the princes, returned from the children of Reuben, and from the children of Gad, out of the land of Gilead, to the land of Canaan, to the children of Israel, and brought them word again.

³²Ary Finehasa, zanak'i Eleazara mpisorona, sy ny loholona dia niverina nandao ny taranak'i Robena sy Gada tany amin'ny tany Gileada ka nankany amin'ny tany Kanana ho any amin'ny Zanak'Isiraely ary nitondra valin-teny ho any aminy.

³³And the thing was good in the sight of the children of Israel, and the children of Israel blessed God, and no more said that they would go up in warfare against them, to destroy the land in which the children of Reuben and the children of Gad dwelt.

³³Ary sitraky ny zanak'Isiraely izany, dia nisaotra an'Andriamanitra ny Zanak'Isiraely ka tsy nihevitra hiakatra hiady aminy intsony handrava ny tany izay nonenan'ny taranak'i Robena sy Gada.Dia nasian'ny taranak'i Robena sy Gada anarana hoe Edy ilay alitara fa vavolombelona ho amintsika roa tonta io fa Jehovah no Andriamanitra.

³⁴And the children of Reuben and the children of Gad gave a name to the altar; for it is a witness between us that Jehovah is God.

³⁴Dia nasian'ny taranak'i Robena sy Gada anarana hoe Edy ilay alitara fa vavolombelona ho amintsika roa tonta io fa Jehovah no Andriamanitra.
