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,
1Then Joshua called the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh,
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;
2and said to them, “You have kept all that Moses the servant of Yahweh commanded you, and have listened to my voice in all that I commanded you.
3tsy nilaozanareo ny rahalahinareo hatramin'izany andro maro izany ka mandraka androany fa notandremanareo ny lalàna nasain'i Jehovah Andriamanitrareo notandremanareo.
3You have not left your brothers these many days to this day, but have performed the duty of the commandment of Yahweh your God.
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.
4Now Yahweh your God has given rest to your brothers, as he spoke to them. Therefore now return and go to your tents, to the land of your possession, which Moses the servant of Yahweh gave you beyond the Jordan.
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.
5Only take diligent heed to do the commandment and the law which Moses the servant of Yahweh commanded you, to love Yahweh your God, to walk in all his ways, to keep his commandments, to hold fast to him, and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul.”
6Dia nitso-drano azy Josoa ka nampody azy; dia lasa nankany amin'ny lainy avy izy.
6So Joshua blessed them, and sent them away; and they went to their tents.
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
7Now to the one half-tribe of Manasseh Moses had given inheritance in Bashan; but to the other half gave Joshua among their brothers beyond the Jordan westward. Moreover when Joshua sent them away to their tents, he blessed them,
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.
8and spoke to them, saying, “Return with much wealth to your tents, with very much livestock, with silver, with gold, with brass, with iron, and with very much clothing. Divide the spoil of your enemies with your brothers.”
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.
9The 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 land of Gilead, to the land of their possession, which they owned, according to the commandment of Yahweh by Moses.
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.
10When they came to the region about the Jordan, that is in the land of Canaan, the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the half-tribe of Manasseh built there an altar by the Jordan, a great altar to look at.
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.
11The children of Israel heard this, “Behold, the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the half-tribe of Manasseh have built an altar in the forefront of the land of Canaan, in the region about the Jordan, on the side that pertains to the children of Israel.”
12Ary nony ren'ny Zanak'Isiraely izany, dia niangona tao Silo ny fiangonana, dia ny Zanak'Isiraely rehetra, mba hiakatra hiady aminy.
12When the children of Israel heard of it, the whole congregation of the children of Israel gathered themselves together at Shiloh, to go up against them to war.
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,
13The 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,
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.
14and with him ten princes, one prince of a fathers’ house for each of the tribes of Israel; and they were everyone of them head of their fathers’ houses among the thousands of Israel.
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:
15They 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 they spoke with them, saying,
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?
16“Thus says the whole congregation of Yahweh, ‘What trespass is this that you have committed against the God of Israel, to turn away this day from following Yahweh, in that you have built yourselves an altar, to rebel this day against Yahweh?
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,
17Is the iniquity of Peor too little for us, from which we have not cleansed ourselves to this day, although there came a plague on the congregation of Yahweh,
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.
18that you must turn away this day from following Yahweh? It will be, since you rebel today against Yahweh, that tomorrow he will be angry with the whole congregation of Israel.
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.
19However, if the land of your possession is unclean, then pass over to the land of the possession of Yahweh, in which Yahweh’s tabernacle dwells, and take possession among us; but don’t rebel against Yahweh, nor rebel against us, in building an altar other than the altar of Yahweh our God.
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]
20Didn’t Achan the son of Zerah commit a trespass in the devoted thing, and wrath fell on all the congregation of Israel? That man didn’t perish alone in his iniquity.’”
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:
21Then the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the half-tribe of Manasseh answered, and spoke to the heads of the thousands of Israel,
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),
22“The Mighty One, God, Yahweh, the Mighty One, God, Yahweh, he knows; and Israel shall know: if it was in rebellion, or if in trespass against Yahweh (don’t save us this day),
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;
23that we have built us an altar to turn away from following Yahweh; or if to offer burnt offering or meal offering, or if to offer sacrifices of peace offerings, let Yahweh himself require it.
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?
24“If we have not out of concern done this, and for a reason, saying, ‘In time to come your children might speak to our children, saying, “What have you to do with Yahweh, the God of Israel?
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,
25For Yahweh has made the Jordan a border between us and you, you children of Reuben and children of Gad. You have no portion in Yahweh.”’ So your children might make our children cease from fearing Yahweh.
26Dia hoy izahay: Aoka isika hanorina alitara ho antsika, tsy hanaterana fanatitra dorana anefa, na fanatitra hafa alatsa-drà,
26“Therefore we said, ‘Let’s now prepare to build ourselves an altar, not for burnt offering, nor for sacrifice;
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.
27but it will be a witness between us and you, and between our generations after us, that we may perform the service of Yahweh before him with our burnt offerings, with our sacrifices, and with our peace offerings;’ that your children may not tell our children in time to come, ‘You have no portion in Yahweh.’
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.
28“Therefore we said, ‘It shall be, when they tell us or our generations this in time to come, that we shall say, “Behold the pattern of the altar of Yahweh, which our fathers made, not for burnt offering, nor for sacrifice; but it is a witness between us and you.”’
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.
29“Far be it from us that we should rebel against Yahweh, and turn away this day from following Yahweh, to build an altar for burnt offering, for meal offering, or for sacrifice, besides the altar of Yahweh our God that is before his tabernacle!”
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.
30When Phinehas the priest, and the princes of the congregation, even 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 pleased them well.
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.
31Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest said to the children of Reuben, to the children of Gad, and to the children of Manasseh, “Today we know that Yahweh is in the midst of us, because you have not committed this trespass against Yahweh. Now you have delivered the children of Israel out of the hand of Yahweh.”
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.
32Phinehas 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.
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.
33The thing pleased the children of Israel; and the children of Israel blessed God, and spoke no more of going up against them to war, to destroy the land in which the children of Reuben and the children of Gad lived.
34Dia nasian'ny taranak'i Robena sy Gada anarana hoe Edy ilay alitara fa vavolombelona ho amintsika roa tonta io fa Jehovah no Andriamanitra.
34The children of Reuben and the children of Gad named the altar “A Witness Between Us that Yahweh is God.”
