Judges 3

Ary ny firenena navelan'i Jehovah ho entiny mizaha toetra ny Isiraely dia izay rehetra tsy mba nahita ny ady rehetra tany Kanana,

Now these are the nations which the LORD left, to prove Israel by them, even as many of Israel as had not known all the wars of Canaan;

mba ho fantatry ny taranaky ny Zanak'Isiraely izany amin'ny hampianarany azy hiady, indrindra fa izay tsy mbola nahalala izany akory teo aloha;

Only that the generations of the children of Israel might know, to teach them war, at the least such as before knew nothing thereof;

dia ireo andriana dimy tamin'ny Filistina sy ny Kananita rehetra sy ny Sidoniana ary ny Hivita, izay nonina tany an-tendrombohitra Libanona, hatrao akaikin'i Bala-hermona ka hatramin'ny lalana mankany Hamata.

Namely, five lords of the Philistines, and all the Canaanites, and the Sidonians, and the Hivites that dwelt in mount Lebanon, from mount Baal–hermon unto the entering in of Hamath.

Ary nentina hizaha toetra ny Isiraely ireo mba hahalalana na hihaino ny didin'i Jehovah, izay nasainy nandidian'i Mosesy ny razany, izy, na tsia.

And they were to prove Israel by them, to know whether they would hearken unto the commandments of the LORD, which he commanded their fathers by the hand of Moses.

Ary ny Zanak'Isiraely nonina teo amin'ny Kananita sy ny Hetita sy ny Amorita sy ny Perizita sy ny Hivita ary ny Jebosita.

And the children of Israel dwelt among the Canaanites, Hittites, and Amorites, and Perizzites, and Hivites, and Jebusites:

Ary naka ny zanakavavin'ireny ho vadiny izy sady nanome ny zananivavy ho vadin'ny zanakalahin'ireny ka nanompo ny andriamaniny.

And they took their daughters to be their wives, and gave their daughters to their sons, and served their gods.

Ary nanao izay ratsy eo imason'i Jehovah ny Zanak'Isiraely ka nanadino an'i Jehovah Andriamaniny ary nanompo ireo Bala sy Aseraha.

And the children of Israel did evil in the sight of the LORD, and forgat the LORD their God, and served Baalim and the groves.

Dia nirehitra tamin'ny Isiraely ny fahatezeran'i Jehovah, ka nivarotra azy ho eo an-tànan'i Kosan-risataima, mpanjakan'i Mesopotamia, Izy; dia nanompo an'i Kosan-risataima valo taona ny Zanak'Isiraely.

Therefore the anger of the LORD was hot against Israel, and he sold them into the hand of Chushan–rishathaim king of Mesopotamia: and the children of Israel served Chushan–rishathaim eight years.

Dia nitaraina tamin'i Jehovah ny Zanak'Isiraely, ary Jehovah nanangana mpamonjy ho an'ny Zanak'Isiraely, izay namonjy azy, dia Otniela, zanakalahin'i Kenaza, zandrin'i Kaleba.

And when the children of Israel cried unto the LORD, the LORD raised up a deliverer to the children of Israel, who delivered them, even Othniel the son of Kenaz, Caleb's younger brother.

Ary ny Fanahin'i Jehovah no tao aminy, dia nitsara ny Isiraely izy sady nivoaka hiady; ary Kosan-risataima, mpanjakan'i Mesopotamia, dia natolotr'i Jehovah teo an-tànany; ary nahery ny tànany ka namely an'i Kosan-risataima.

And the Spirit of the LORD came upon him, and he judged Israel, and went out to war: and the LORD delivered Chushan–rishathaim king of Mesopotamia into his hand; and his hand prevailed against Chushan–rishathaim.

Dia nandry ny tany efa-polo taona. Ary maty Otniela, zanak'i Kenaza.

And the land had rest forty years. And Othniel the son of Kenaz died.

Fa nanao izay ratsy eo imason'i Jehovah indray ny zanak'Isiraely ary i Jehovah nampahery an'i Eglona, mpanjakan'i Moaba, hiady amin'ny Isiraely, satria nanao izay ratsy eo imason'i Jehovah izy.

And the children of Israel did evil again in the sight of the LORD: and the LORD strengthened Eglon the king of Moab against Israel, because they had done evil in the sight of the LORD.

Dia nampiangona ny taranak'i Amona sy Amaleka ho any aminy izy, ary nandeha izy ireo ka namely ny Isiraely, dia nahafaka ny tanàna be rofia.

And he gathered unto him the children of Ammon and Amalek, and went and smote Israel, and possessed the city of palm trees.

Dia nanompo an'i Eglona, mpanjakan'i Moaba, valo ambin'ny folo taona ny Zanak'Isiraely.

So the children of Israel served Eglon the king of Moab eighteen years.

Ary nitaraina tamin'i Jehovah izy, dia nanangana mpamonjy ho azy Jehovah, dia Ehoda, zanak'i Gera, avy amin'ny taranak'i Benjamina, lehilahy kavia; dia nampitondra azy fanomezana ho an'i Eglona, mpanjakan'i Moaba, ny Zanak'Isiraely.

But when the children of Israel cried unto the LORD, the LORD raised them up a deliverer, Ehud the son of Gera, a Benjamite, a man lefthanded: and by him the children of Israel sent a present unto Eglon the king of Moab.

Ary nanao sabatra roa lela Ehoda, hakiho ny halavany; dia nataony tao amin'ny fehin-kibony ambanin'ny akanjo fiadiany izany, teny am-balahany ankavanana.

But Ehud made him a dagger which had two edges, of a cubit length; and he did gird it under his raiment upon his right thigh.

Dia nitondra ny fanomezana ho an'i Eglona, mpanjakan'i Moaba, izy; ary lehilahy matavibe Eglona.

And he brought the present unto Eglon king of Moab: and Eglon was a very fat man.

Ary rehefa vitany ny nanolorana ny fanomezana, dia nampodiny ny olona izay nitondra izany.

And when he had made an end to offer the present, he sent away the people that bare the present.

Fa nony tonga teo amin'ny fihadiam-bato izay any Gilgala kosa izy, dia niverina ka nanao hoe: Misy teny holazaiko mangingina aminao, ry mpanjaka ô. Dia hoy kosa izy: Mialà kely ianareo, rizareo. Ary izay rehetra nitsangana teo anoloany dia niala teo aminy.

But he himself turned again from the quarries that were by Gilgal, and said, I have a secret errand unto thee, O king: who said, Keep silence. And all that stood by him went out from him.

Ary Ehoda nanatona azy, raha nipetraka irery tao an-tilikambony fihatsiatsiahana izy. Dia hoy Ehoda: Misy teny avy amin'Andriamanitra holazaiko aminao. Dia nitsangana niala tamin'ny seza fiandrianana Eglona.

And Ehud came unto him; and he was sitting in a summer parlour, which he had for himself alone. And Ehud said, I have a message from God unto thee. And he arose out of his seat.

Ary naninjitra ny tànany ankavia Ehoda ka nandray ny sabatra teny am-balahany ankavanana, dia natsatony tamin'ny kibon'i Eglona izany;

And Ehud put forth his left hand, and took the dagger from his right thigh, and thrust it into his belly:

ary difotra mbamin'ny zarany, ka voasaron'ny taviny ny lelan-tsabatra, ka dia tsy nanatsoaka ny sabatra tamin'ny kibony izy; ary niboroaka teo amin'ny vodiny izany.

And the haft also went in after the blade; and the fat closed upon the blade, so that he could not draw the dagger out of his belly; and the dirt came out.

Dia nivoaka teo amin'ny lavarangana Ehoda ka nandrindrina ny varavaran'ny trano ka nanidy azy tao.

Then Ehud went forth through the porch, and shut the doors of the parlour upon him, and locked them.

Ary rehefa nivoaka izy, dia tonga teo kosa ny mpanompon'i Eglona; ary raha hitany fa, indro, voahidy ny varavaran'ny tilikambo, dia hoy izy: Miavela ato an-tilikambo fihatsiahana izy aloha.

When he was gone out, his servants came; and when they saw that, behold, the doors of the parlour were locked, they said, Surely he covereth his feet in his summer chamber.

Dia niandry mandra-pahaveri-heviny izy ireo, kanjo tsy namoha ny varavaran'ny trano izy; ka dia naka ny fanalahidy izy ireo ka namoha azy; ary, indro, maty niampatra tamin'ny rihana ny tompony

And they tarried till they were ashamed: and, behold, he opened not the doors of the parlour; therefore they took a key, and opened them: and, behold, their lord was fallen down dead on the earth.

Fa Ehoda efa nandositra, raha mbola nitaredretra izy ireo, ka efa nihoatra ny fihadiam-bato, dia nandositra ho any Seirata.

And Ehud escaped while they tarried, and passed beyond the quarries, and escaped unto Seirath.

Ary rehefa tonga teo izy, dia nitsoka ny anjomara tany amin'ny tany havoan'i Efraima, dia nidina nanaraka azy avy tany amin'ny tany havoana ny Zanak'Isiraely, ary izy no nitarika azy.

And it came to pass, when he was come, that he blew a trumpet in the mountain of Ephraim, and the children of Israel went down with him from the mount, and he before them.

Ary hoy izy taminy: Manaraha ahy, fa efa natolotr'i Jehovah eo an-tananareo ny Moabita fahavalonareo. Dia nidina nanaraka azy ny olona, ka azony ny fitàna any Jordana hankany Moaba, ary tsy nisy navelany hita na dia iray akory aza.

And he said unto them, Follow after me: for the LORD hath delivered your enemies the Moabites into your hand. And they went down after him, and took the fords of Jordan toward Moab, and suffered not a man to pass over.

Dia namono ny Moabita tokony ho iray alin-dahy tamin'izany andro izany izy, samy olona vaventy sady mahery izy rehetra; ary tsy nisy afaka nandositra na dia iray akory aza.

And they slew of Moab at that time about ten thousand men, all lusty, and all men of valour; and there escaped not a man.

Dia resin'ny tanan'ny Isiraely ny Moabita tamin'izany andro izany. Ary nandry valo-polo taona ny tany.

So Moab was subdued that day under the hand of Israel. And the land had rest fourscore years.

Ary nanarakaraka azy Samgara, zanak'i Anata, izay namely ny Filistina enin-jato lahy tamin'ny fanindronan-omby; dia namonjy ny Isiraely koa izy.

And after him was Shamgar the son of Anath, which slew of the Philistines six hundred men with an ox goad: and he also delivered Israel.
