< Judges 2 >

1 And the angel of the LORD came up from Gilgal to Bochim. And he said, I made you to go up out of Egypt, and have brought you unto the land which I sware unto your fathers; and I said, I will never break my covenant with you:
Ary Ilay Anjelin’ i Jehovah niakatra avy tany Gilgala ka nankany Bokima, dia nanao hoe: Nitondra anareo niakatra avy tany Egypta Aho ka nampiditra anareo eto amin’ ny tany izay nianianako tamin’ ny razanareo homena azy, ka hoy Izaho: Tsy hanatsoaka ny fanekeko taminareo Aho mandrakizay;
2 and ye shall make no covenant with the inhabitants of this land; ye shall break down their altars: but ye have not hearkened unto my voice: why have ye done this?
koa aza manao fanekena amin’ ny tompon-tany ianareo, fa ravao ny alitarany; kanefa tsy nihaino ny feoko ianareo; koa inona moa izao nataonareo izao?
3 Wherefore I also said, I will not drive them out from before you; but they shall be [as thorns] in your sides, and their gods shall be a snare unto you.
Ary hoy Izaho indray: Tsy handroaka azy eo anoloanareo Aho; fa ho tsilo eo amin’ ny tehezanareo sy ho fandrika aminareo ny andriamaniny.
4 And it came to pass, when the angel of the LORD spake these words unto all the children of Israel, that the people lifted up their voice, and wept.
Ary nony niteny izany teny izany tamin’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely rehetra Ilay Anjelin’ i Jehovah, dia nanandratra ny feony ny vahoaka ka nitomany.
5 And they called the name of that place Bochim: and they sacrificed there unto the LORD.
Ary ny anaran’ izany tany izany dia nataony hoe Bokima; ary namono zavatra teo izy hatao fanatitra ho an’ i Jehovah.
6 Now when Joshua had sent the people away, the children of Israel went every man unto his inheritance to possess the land.
Ary rehefa nampodin’ i Josoa ny vahoaka, dia nandeha ho any amin’ ny lovany avy ny Zanak’ Isiraely rehetra handova ny tany.
7 And the people served the LORD all the days of Joshua, and all the days of the elders that outlived Joshua, who had seen all the great work of the LORD, that he had wrought for Israel.
Ary nanompo an’ i Jehovah ny vahoaka tamin’ ny andro rehetra niainan’ i Josoa sy tamin’ ny andro rehetra niainan’ ny loholona izay velona taorian’ i Josoa, dia ireo izay efa nahita ny asa lehibe rehetra nataon’ i Jehovah ho an’ ny Isiraely.
8 And Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of the LORD, died, being an hundred and ten years old.
Ary maty Josoa, zanak’ i Nona, mpanompon’ i Jehovah, rehefa folo amby zato taona ny androny.
9 And they buried him in the border of his inheritance in Timnath-heres, in the hill country of Ephraim, on the north of the mountain of Gaash.
Dia nalevina tao anatin’ ny fari-tanin’ ny lovany izy, dia tao Timnata-heresa, any amin’ ny tany havoan’ i Efraima, avaratry ny tendrombohitra Gasa.
10 And also all that generation were gathered unto their fathers: and there arose another generation after them, which knew not the LORD, nor yet the work which he had wrought for Israel.
Ary izany taranaka rehetra izany koa dia voangona any amin’ ny razany; ary taranaka hafa, izay tsy nahalala an’ i Jehovah na ny asa efa nataony ho an’ ny Isiraely, no nitsangana nandimby azy.
11 And the children of Israel did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, and served the Baalim:
Ary nanao izay ratsy eo imason’ i Jehovah ny Zanak’ Isiraely, fa nanompo ireo Bala
12 and they forsook the LORD, the God of their fathers, which brought them out of the land of Egypt, and followed other gods, of the gods of the peoples that were round about them, and bowed themselves down unto them: and they provoked the LORD to anger.
ka nahafoy an’ i Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny razany, Izay nitondra azy nivoaka avy tany amin’ ny tany Egypta, ka nanaraka andriamani-kafa amin’ ny andriamanitry ny firenena manodidina azy, dia niankohoka teo anatrehany ka nampahatezitra an’ i Jehovah.
13 And they forsook the LORD, and served Baal and the Ashtaroth.
Eny, nahafoy an’ i Jehovah izy ka nanampo an’ i Bala sy Astarta.
14 And the anger of the LORD was kindled against Israel, and he delivered them into the hands of spoilers that spoiled them, and he sold them into the hands of their enemies round about, so that they could not any longer stand before their enemies.
Dia nirehitra tamin’ ny Isiraely ny fahatezeran’ i Jehovah, ka natolony teo an-tànan’ ny mpamabo izay namabo azy izy, ary namidiny ho eo an-tànan’ ny fahavalony manodidina azy ka tsy nahajanona teo anoloan’ ny fahavalony intsony.
15 Whithersoever they went out, the hand of the LORD was against them for evil, as the LORD had spoken, and as the LORD had sworn unto them: and they were sore distressed.
Na taiza na taiza nivoahany, dia namely azy ny tanan’ i Jehovah ka nampahory azy, araka izay efa nolazain’ i Jehovah sy araka izay efa nianianany taminy; ka dia ory indrindra izy.
16 And the LORD raised up judges, which saved them out of the hand of those that spoiled them.
Kanefa Jehovah nanangana mpitsara izay namonjy azy tamin’ ny tànan’ ireo namabo azy.
17 And yet they hearkened not unto their judges, for they went a whoring after other gods, and bowed themselves down unto them: they turned aside quickly out of the way wherein their fathers walked, obeying the commandments of the LORD; [but] they did not so.
Fa na dia ny mpitsara azy aza dia tsy mba nohenoiny, fa nandeha nijangajanga nanaraka andriamani-kafa izy ka niankohoka teo anatrehany; nivily faingana niala tamin’ ny lalana izay nandehanan’ ny razany nanaraka ny didin’ i Jehovah izy, fa tsy mba nanaraka izany.
18 And when the LORD raised them up judges, then the LORD was with the judge, and saved them out of the hand of their enemies all the days of the judge: for it repented the LORD because of their groaning by reason of them that oppressed them and vexed them.
Ary rehefa nanangana mpitsara ho azy Jehovah, dia nomba izany mpitsara izany Izy ka namonjy ny olona tamin’ ny tanan’ ny fahavalony tamin’ ny andro rehetra niainan’ izany mpitsara izany; fa nalahelo azy Jehovah amin’ ny fitarainany noho ireo nampahory sy nampalahelo azy.
19 But it came to pass, when the judge was dead, that they turned back, and dealt more corruptly than their fathers, in following other gods to serve them, and to bow down unto them; they ceased not from their doings, nor from their stubborn way.
Kanjo nony maty ilay mpitsara, dia nanao ratsy indray izy mihoatra noho ny nataon’ ny razany, fa nanaraka andriamani-kafa sy nanompo azy ary niankohoka teo anatrehany izy; tsy nitsahatra tàmin’ ny fanaony na tamin’ ny lalana nanaovany ditra izy.
20 And the anger of the LORD was kindled against Israel; and he said, Because this nation have transgressed my covenant which I commanded their fathers, and have not hearkened unto my voice;
Dia nirehitra tamin’ ny Isiraely ny fahatezeran’ i Jehovah, ka hoy Izy: Satria nivadika ny fanekeko izay nandidiako ny razany ity firenena ity ka tsy nihaino ny feoko,
21 I also will not henceforth drive out any from before them of the nations which Joshua left when he died:
dia tsy handroaka olona eo anoloany intsony Aho amin’ ny firenena izay tsy mbola resy hatramin’ ny andro nahafatesan’ i Josoa,
22 that by them I may prove Israel, whether they will keep the way of the LORD to walk therein, as their fathers did keep it, or not.
mba hizahako toetra ny Isiraely amin’ ireny, na hitandrina ny lalan’ i Jehovah ka handeha amin’ izany araka izay nitandreman’ ny razany izany izy, na tsia.
23 So the LORD left those nations, without driving them out hastily; neither delivered he them into the hand of Joshua.
Dia navelan’ i Jehovah ireny firenena ireny ka tsy noroahiny faingana; sady tsy voatolony teo an-tànan’ i Josoa ireny.
