Joshua 23

Ary rehefa ela, taorian'ny nanomezan'i Jehovah fitsaharana ho an'ny Isiraely ho afaka amin'ny fahavalony rehetra manodidina, ary Josoa dia efa zoki-olona sady nandroso fahanterana,

And it came to pass a long time after that the LORD had given rest unto Israel from all their enemies round about, that Joshua waxed old and stricken in age.

dia nantsoin'i Josoa ny Isiraely rehetra, dia ny loholony sy ny lehibeny sy ny mpitsara azy ary ny mpifehy azy, ka hoy izy taminy: Efa zoki-olona aho izao ka mandroso fahanterana,

And Joshua called for all Israel, and for their elders, and for their heads, and for their judges, and for their officers, and said unto them, I am old and stricken in age:

ary ianareo efa nahita izay rehetra nataon'i Jehovah Andriamanitrareo tamin'ireo firenena rehetra ireo teo anoloanareo; fa Jehovah Andriamanitrareo no niady ho anareo.

And ye have seen all that the LORD your God hath done unto all these nations because of you; for the LORD your God is he that hath fought for you.

Indreo, efa voazarako ho lovan'ny firenenareo tamin'ny filokana ireo firenena sisa ireo, hatrany Jordana, mbamin'ny firenena rehetra izay nofongorako, ka hatramin'ny Ranomasina Lehibe andrefana.

Behold, I have divided unto you by lot these nations that remain, to be an inheritance for your tribes, from Jordan, with all the nations that I have cut off, even unto the great sea westward.

Ary Jehovah Andriamanitrareo, Izy no handroaka ireny eo anoloanareo, dia hampiala azy eo anoloanareo; ary handova ny taniny ianareo araka izay nolazain'i Jehovah Andriamanitrareo taminareo.

And the LORD your God, he shall expel them from before you, and drive them from out of your sight; and ye shall possess their land, as the LORD your God hath promised unto you.

Dia mahereza tsara ianareo hitandrina sy hanao izay rehetra voasoratra ao amin'ny bokin'ny lalàn'i Mosesy, mba tsy hivilianareo hiala aminy na ho amin'ny ankavanana, na ho amin'ny ankavia,

Be ye therefore very courageous to keep and to do all that is written in the book of the law of Moses, that ye turn not aside therefrom to the right hand or to the left;

mba tsy hankanesanareo any amin'ireo firenena sisa eo aminareo ireo; ny anaran'ny andriamaniny dia aoka tsy hotononinareo na hampianiananareo akory, ary aza manompo azy na miankohoka eo anatrehany;

That ye come not among these nations, these that remain among you; neither make mention of the name of their gods, nor cause to swear by them, neither serve them, nor bow yourselves unto them:

fa Jehovah Andriamanitrareo ihany no ifikiro, araka ny nataonareo mandraka androany.

But cleave unto the LORD your God, as ye have done unto this day.

Fa nandroaka firenena lehibe sy mahery teo anoloanareo Jehovah; ary dia tsy nisy olona nahajanona teo anoloanareo mandraka androany.

For the LORD hath driven out from before you great nations and strong: but as for you, no man hath been able to stand before you unto this day.

Ny lehilahy iray aminareo manenjika ny arivo; fa Jehovah Andriamanitrareo, Izy no miady ho anareo, araka izay nolazainy taminareo.

One man of you shall chase a thousand: for the LORD your God, he it is that fighteth for you, as he hath promised you.

Dia tandremo tsara ny fanahinareo mba ho tia an'i Jehovah Andriamanitrareo.

Take good heed therefore unto yourselves, that ye love the LORD your God.

Fa raha mihemotra ianareo ka miray aminareo ireo firenena sisa eo aminareo ireo ary mifanambady aminy ka miditra ao aminy, ary izy kosa ao aminareo,

Else if ye do in any wise go back, and cleave unto the remnant of these nations, even these that remain among you, and shall make marriages with them, and go in unto them, and they to you:

dia ho fantatrareo tokoa fa tsy handroaka ireo firenena ireo eo anoloanareo intsony Jehovah Andriamanitrareo; fa ho fandrika sy tonta aminareo ireo, ary ho fanindronana amin'ny tehezanareo, sy ho tsilo eo amin'ny masonareo, mandra-pahalany ritranareo tsy ho eo amin'ity tany soa nomen'i Jehovah Andriamanitrareo anareo ity.

Know for a certainty that the LORD your God will no more drive out any of these nations from before you; but they shall be snares and traps unto you, and scourges in your sides, and thorns in your eyes, until ye perish from off this good land which the LORD your God hath given you.

Ary, indro, efa handeha ho amin'ny lalana falehan'ny tany rehetra aho izao; ary fantatrareo ao amin'ny fonareo rehetra sy ny fanahinareo rehetra fa tsy misy latsaka na dia zavatra iray akory aza ny zava-tsoa rehetra izay nilazan'i Jehovah Andriamanitrareo anareo; efa tanteraka taminareo avokoa izy rehetra: tsy nisy latsaka izy na dia zavatra iray akory aza.

And, behold, this day I am going the way of all the earth: and ye know in all your hearts and in all your souls, that not one thing hath failed of all the good things which the LORD your God spake concerning you; all are come to pass unto you, and not one thing hath failed thereof.

Ary tahaka ny efa nanatanterahana taminareo ny zava-tsoa rehetra, izay nolazain'i Jehovah Andriamanitrareo taminareo, no hanatanterahan'i Jehovah aminareo kosa ny loza rehetra mandra-paharingany anareo tsy ho eo amin'ity tany soa nomen'i Jehovah Andriamanitrareo anareo ity.

Therefore it shall come to pass, that as all good things are come upon you, which the LORD your God promised you; so shall the LORD bring upon you all evil things, until he have destroyed you from off this good land which the LORD your God hath given you.

Amin'izay hivadihanareo ny faneken'i Jehovah Andriamanitrareo, izay nandidiany anareo, sy handehananareo hanompo ireo andriamani-kafa ary hiankohofanareo eo anatrehany, dia hirehitra aminareo ny fahatezeran'i Jehovah, ary ho lany ringana faingana ianareo tsy ho eo amin'ny tany soa nomeny anareo.

When ye have transgressed the covenant of the LORD your God, which he commanded you, and have gone and served other gods, and bowed yourselves to them; then shall the anger of the LORD be kindled against you, and ye shall perish quickly from off the good land which he hath given unto you.
