¹[Ny niadian'ny Zanak'Isiraely tamin'ny Kananita taorian'ny nahafatesan'i Josoa] Ary rehefa maty Josoa, dia nanontany tamin'i Jehovah ny Zanak'Isiraely hoe: Iza no hiakatra voalohany hiady amin'ny Kananita ho anay?

¹It happened after the death of Joshua, the children of Israel asked of Yahweh, “Yahweh” is God’s proper Name, sometimes rendered “LORD” (all caps) in other translations. saying, “Who should go up for us first against the Canaanites, to fight against them?”

²Dia hoy Jehovah: Joda no hiakatra; indro, efa nanolotra ny tany ho eo an-tànany Aho.

²Yahweh said, “Judah shall go up. Behold, I have delivered the land into his hand.”

³Ary hoy Joda tamin'i Simeona rahalahiny: Andeha hiara-miakatra amiko ianao ho any amin'ny lovako, ka aoka isika hiady amin'ny Kananita; ary izaho kosa dia handeha hiaraka aminao ho any amin'ny lovanao. Ary Simeona dia nandeha niaraka taminy.

³Judah 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.

⁴Dia niakatra Joda, ary natolotr'i Jehovah teo an-tànany ny Kananita sy ny Perizita, ka nahafaty iray alin-dahy tany Bezeka izy.

⁴Judah went up; and Yahweh delivered the Canaanites and the Perizzites into their hand: and they struck of them in Bezek ten thousand men.

⁵Ary nahita an'i Adoni-bezeka tany Bezeka izy, dia niady taminy ka naharesy ny Kananita sy ny Perizita.

⁵They found Adoni-Bezek in Bezek; and they fought against him, and they struck the Canaanites and the Perizzites.

⁶Nefa nandositra Adoni-bezeka;ary nanenjika azy izy ireto ka nisambotra azy, dia nanapaka ny ankihiben-tànany sy ny ankihiben-tongony.

⁶But Adoni-Bezek fled; and they pursued after him, and caught him, and cut off his thumbs and his great toes.

⁷Ary hoy Adoni-bezeka: Mpanjaka fito-polo voatapaka ny ankihiben-tànany sy ny ankihiben-tongony no nitsindroka hanina teo ambanin'ny latabatro; ka mba tahaka ny nataoko ihany lahy ity no navalin'Andriamanitra ahy! Ary nentin'ireo ho any Jerosalema izy ka maty tany.

⁷Adoni-Bezek said, “Seventy kings, having their thumbs and their great toes cut off, scavenged under my table: as I have done, so God The Hebrew word rendered “God” is “Elohim.” has requited me.” They brought him to Jerusalem, and he died there.

⁸Ary namely an'i Jerosalema ny taranak'i Joda, ka nahafaka azy, dia namely azy tamin'ny lelan-tsabatra ka nandoro ny tanàna.

⁸The children of Judah fought against Jerusalem, and took it, and struck it with the edge of the sword, and set the city on fire.

⁹Ary rehefa afaka izany, dia nidina ny taranak'i Joda hiady amin'ny Kananita izay nonina tany amin'ny tany havoana sy tany amin'ny tany atsimo ary tany amin'ny tany lemaka amoron-tsiraka.[Heb. Sefela]

⁹Afterward the children of Judah went down to fight against the Canaanites who lived in the hill country, and in the South, and in the lowland.

¹⁰Dia nandeha Joda hiady amin'ny Kananita, izay nonina tany Hebrona (Kiriat-arba no anaran'i Hebrona taloha), ka namono an'i Sesay sy Ahimana ary Talmay.

¹⁰Judah went against the Canaanites who lived in Hebron (now the name of Hebron before was Kiriath Arba); and they struck Sheshai, and Ahiman, and Talmai.

¹¹Dia niala tao izy ka nandeha hiady amin'ny mponina any Debira (Kiriata-sefera no anaran'i Debira taloha).

¹¹From there he went against the inhabitants of Debir. (Now the name of Debir before was Kiriath Sepher.)

¹²Ary hoy Kaleba: Izay mamely an'i Kiriata-sefera ka mahafaka azy dia homeko azy Aksa zanako-vavy ho vadiny.

¹²Caleb said, “He who strikes Kiriath Sepher, and takes it, to him will I give Achsah my daughter as wife.”

¹³Ary Otniela, zanakalahin'i Kenaza, zandrin'i Kaleba, no nahafaka azy; ka dia nomeny azy Aksa zananivavy ho vadiny.

¹³Othniel the son of Kenaz, Caleb’s younger brother, took it: and he gave him Achsah his daughter as wife.

¹⁴Ary rehefa voampakatra ravehivavy, dia nanome vava ny lahy hangataka saha tamin-drainy; dia niala faingana tamin'ny borikiny izy, ka hoy Kaleba taminy: Inona moa no ilainao?

¹⁴It happened, when she came, that she got him to ask her father for a field: and she alighted from off her donkey; and Caleb said to her, “What would you like?”

¹⁵Ary hoy izy: Omeo tso-drano aho; fa tany tsy misy rano no nomenao ahy ka mba omeo loharano koa aho. Dia nomen'i Kaleba azy ny loharano ambony sy ny loharano ambany.

¹⁵She said to him, “Give me a blessing; for that you have set me in the land of the South, give me also springs of water.” Then Caleb gave her the upper springs and the lower springs.

¹⁶Ary ny taranak'ilay Kenita, zaodahin'i Mosesy dia niara-niakatra tamin'ny taranak'i Joda niala tao amin'ny tanàna be rofia hankany an-efitr'i Joda, atsimon'i Arada nandeha ireo ka nonina teo amin'ny Isiraely.[Na: rafozan'][palma]

¹⁶The children of the Kenite, Moses’ brother-in-law, went up out of the city of palm trees with the children of Judah into the wilderness of Judah, which is in the south of Arad; and they went and lived with the people.

¹⁷Ary Joda nandeha niaraka tamin'i Simeona rahalahiny, dia namely ny Kananita, izay nonina tany Zefata, ka nataony ringana ireo, ary ny anaran'ny tanàna nataony hoe Horma.[Heb. herema][Horma = Herema]

¹⁷Judah 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.

¹⁸Dia afak'i Joda Gaza sy ny sisin-taniny an Askelona sy ny sisin-taniny ary Ekrona sy ny sisin-taniny.

¹⁸Also Judah took Gaza with its border, and Ashkelon with its border, and Ekron with its border.

¹⁹Ary Jehovah nomba an'i Joda, ka dia azony ny tany havoana; nefa tsy naharoaka ny mponina teny amin'ny tany lemaka izy, satria nanana kalesy vy ireny.

¹⁹Yahweh 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.

²⁰Ary Hebrona dia nomeny an'i Kaleba, araka izay efa nolazain'i Mosesy, ka noroahin'i Kaleba niala tao izy telo lahy, taranaky ny Anakita.

²⁰They gave Hebron to Caleb, as Moses had spoken: and he drove out there the three sons of Anak.

²¹Ary ny taranak'i Benjamina tsy nandroaka ny Jebosita, izay mponina any Jerosalema; fa ny Jebosita dia miara-monina amin'ny taranak'i Benjamina any Jerosalema ihany mandraka androany.

²¹The children of Benjamin did not drive out the Jebusites who inhabited Jerusalem; but the Jebusites dwell with the children of Benjamin in Jerusalem to this day.

²²Ary ny taranak'i Josefa dia niakatra koa hamely an'i Betela; ary Jehovah nomba azy.

²²The house of Joseph, they also went up against Bethel; and Yahweh was with them.

²³Dia naniraka hisafo an'i Betela ny taranak'i Josefa (Lozy no anaran'ny tanàna taloha);

²³The house of Joseph sent to spy out Bethel. (Now the name of the city before was Luz.)

²⁴ary nahita lehilahy anankiray nivoaka avy tao an-tanàna ny mpisafo ka nanao taminy hoe: Mba atoroy kely anay ny fidirana mankao an-tanàna, dia hamindra fo aminao izahay.

²⁴The watchers saw a man come forth out of the city, and they said to him, “Please show us the entrance into the city, and we will deal kindly with you.”

²⁵Dia natoron-dralehilahy azy ny fidirana mankao an-tanàna, ka dia nasiany tamin'ny lelan-tsabatra ny tanàna; fa ralehilahy sy ny mpianakaviny rehetra dia navelany handeha.

²⁵He 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.

²⁶Ary nandeha ho any amin'ny tanin'ny Hetita ralehilahy, ka nanorina tanàna izy, ary ny anarany dia nataony hoe Lozy, ary mbola izany ihany no anarany mandraka androany.

²⁶The man went into the land of the Hittites, and built a city, and called its name Luz, which is its name to this day.

²⁷Ary Manase tsy nahafaka an'i Beti-sana sy ny zana-bohiny, na Tanaka sy ny zana-bohiny, sady tsy naharoaka ny mponina tany Dora sy ny zana-bohiny, na ny mponina tany Ibleama sy ny zana-bohiny, na ny mponina tany Megido sy ny zana-bohiny, satria tian'ny Kananita hitoerana indrindra izany tany izany.

²⁷Manasseh 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.

²⁸Fa rehefa nihahery kosa ny Isiraely, dia nampanaoviny fanompoana ny Kananita. fa tsy nandroaka azy rehetra izy.

²⁸It happened, when Israel had grown strong, that they put the Canaanites to forced labor, and did not utterly drive them out.

²⁹Ary Efraima tsy nandroaka ny Kananita. izay nonina tany Gazera; fa nonina teo aminy tany Gazera ny Kananita.

²⁹Ephraim didn’t drive out the Canaanites who lived in Gezer; but the Canaanites lived in Gezer among them.

³⁰Zebolona tsy nandroaka ny mponina tany Kitrona, na ny mponina tany Nahalola; fa nonina teo aminy ny Kananita ka nampanaovina fanompoana.

³⁰Zebulun 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.

³¹Asera tsy nandroaka ny mponina tany Ako, na ny mponina tany Sidona, na ny tany Alaba, na ny tany Akziba, na ny tany Helba, na ny tany Afika. na ny tany Rehoba;

³¹Asher didn’t 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;

³²fa nonina teo amin'ny Kananita tompon-tany ny taranak'i Asera, fa tsy nandroaka azy.

³²but the Asherites lived among the Canaanites, the inhabitants of the land; for they did not drive them out.

³³Naftaly tsy nandroaka ny mponina tany Beti-semesy, na ny mponina tany Bet-anata; fa nonina teo amin'ny Kananita tompon-tany izy, kanefa nampanaoviny fanompoana ny mponina tany Beti-semesy sy Bet-anata.

³³Naphtali 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.

³⁴Ary ny Amorita nanesika ny taranak'i Dana ho any amin'ny tany havoana, fa tsy namela azy hidina ho any amin'ny tany lemaka,

³⁴The Amorites forced the children of Dan into the hill country; for they would not allow them to come down to the valley;

³⁵fa tian'ny Amorita hitoerana indrindra ny tendrombohitra Heresa sy ny tany Aialona sy Salbima; nefa nahery ny tanan'ny taranak'i Josefa, ka dia nampanaovina fanompoana ireo.Ary ny fari-tanin'ny Amorita dia hatramin'ny fiakarana Akrabima ka hatramin'ilay harambato no ho mankany.

³⁵but 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.

³⁶Ary ny fari-tanin'ny Amorita dia hatramin'ny fiakarana Akrabima ka hatramin'ilay harambato no ho mankany.

³⁶The border of the Amorites was from the ascent of Akrabbim, from the rock, and upward.
