Thutan Vaihom Ho 11
1 Tun Gilead gam'a cheng Jepthah chu gal hattah anahi. Amahi Gilead chapa ahin amavang anuchu numei noti anahi.
Now Jephthah the Gileadite was a mighty man of valour, and he was the son of an harlot: and Gilead begat Jephthah.
2 Gilead jinu chun chapa phabep ana neijin ahi, amahi ahung khanlet phat’un amahon Jepthah chu agam’uva kon in ana nodoh un ahi. Amahon Jepthah kommah, “Nangin ipau gouhi nachanthei louding ahi, ajeh chu nanghi numei chavai noti khat cha nahi bouve ahiuvin ahi.
And Gilead’s wife bore him sons; and his wife’s sons grew up, and they thrust out Jephthah, and said to him, Thou shalt not inherit in our father’s house; for thou art the son of a another woman.
3 Hijeh chun Jepthah chu asopi hoa kon in ana jamdoh in Tob gammah ana chengin ahi. Gangtah in aman anung juiding loi phabep ahin neipai tan ahi.
Then Jephthah fled from his brethren, and dwelt in the land of Tob: and there were gathered worthless men to Jephthah, and they went out with him.
4 Hiche phatlai hin, Ammon miten Israelte chungah gal ahin boltan ahi.
And it came to pass in process of time, that the children of Ammon made war against Israel.
5 Ammon miten ahin nokhum phat uhin, Gilead lamkaiten Tob ma um Jepthah hi akoutauvin ahi. Hiche lamkai hohin aseijun ahi,
And it was so, that when the children of Ammon made war against Israel, the elders of Gilead went to bring Jephthah out of the land of Tob:
6 “Hungin lang keiho lamkaijin hung pangtan! Ammon mite toh kisatna ding ahin neihung panpiuvin” atiuve.
And they said to Jephthah, Come, and be our captain, that we may fight with the children of Ammon.
7 Ahin Jepthah chun amaho kommah, “Nanghon nei vetdaova appa in na konna neina nodoh u hilouham? Tua hahsatna nanei phat uva hi ipi dinga kakomma nahungu ham?” atin ahi.
And Jephthah said to the elders of Gilead, Did ye not hate me, and drive me out of my father’s house? and why have ye come to me now when ye are in distress?
8 Lamkaiho chun adonbutnun “Ajeh chu tuahi nangma kangai chatnu ahitai, nangman Ammon mitetoh kisatto na ahi neihung lamkaijuva ahileh keihon Gilead mite jouse chunga lamkaija kapansah dingu ahi” atiuve.
And the elders of Gilead said to Jephthah, Therefore we turn again to thee now, that thou mayest go with us, and fight against the children of Ammon, and be our head over all the inhabitants of Gilead.
9 Jepthah in lamkaiho komma chun hitin aseije, “Keima kahunga Pakaiyin Ammon mite chunga chu gal eijosah a ahileh nalamkai uva neipansah mongdiu ahinam?” ati.
And Jephthah said to the elders of Gilead, If ye bring me home again to fight against the children of Ammon, and the LORD deliver them before me, shall I be your head?
10 Lamkaihon adonbut’un, “Pakai chu ichunguva ahetoh in pangjing hen nangin nasei chanchu boldinga kakitep u ahi” atiuve.
And the elders of Gilead said to Jephthah, The LORD be a witness between us, if we do not so according to thy words.
11 Hitichun Jepthah chu Gilead lamkaiho toh akilhon khom tauvin ahi, chuleh Gilead mipite chun alamkai diuvin apansah tauvin chule gal lamkai jong ahisah taove.
Then Jephthah went with the elders of Gilead, and the people made him head and captain over them: and Jephthah uttered all his words before the LORD in Mizpeh.
12 Hiche jouchun Jepthah in thupole ho Ammon lengpa komma asollin hitin aseije, “Ibola kagamsunga hi gal boldinga nahung ham?” ati.
And Jephthah sent messengers to the king of the children of Ammon, saying, What hast thou to do with me, that thou hast come against me to fight in my land?
13 Ammon lengpan Jepthah thupole ho kommah hitin ahin seijuvin ahi, “Israelte Egypt ma konna ahungu chun, amahon kagammu, Arnon vadunga kon in Jabbok vading gei chuleh Jordan changeijin eilah peh un ahi. Tun chanma nadeileh hiche hochu neihin nungpeh tan,” ati.
And the king of the children of Ammon answered to the messengers of Jephthah, Because Israel took away my land, when they came out of Egypt, from Arnon even to Jabbok, and to Jordan: now therefore restore those lands again peaceably.
14 Jepthah in thupole ho chu Ammon lengpa komma alesol kitnin aseije,
And Jephthah sent messengers again to the king of the children of Ammon:
15 Hichehi Jepthah in aseichu ahi, “Israelten Moab ahin Ammon mite ahin agammu kalahpeh pouve,
And said to him, Thus saith Jephthah, Israel took not away the land of Moab, nor the land of the children of Ammon:
16 Israel mipite Egypt a konna ahung kitoldoh uva twikhanglen san ahung galkai jou uchun Kadesh ahung lhungun,
But when Israel came up from Egypt, and walked through the wilderness to the Red sea, and came to Kadesh;
17 Amahon Edom lengpa komma agamsung ahin phalpeh pouvin ahi. Hiche jouchun Moab lengpa komma hiche tobang machun agah thumkit un ahileh agamsunga hopa ding chu ahin janom dehpon ahi. Hijeh chun Israel mipite chu Kadesh a akingatauvin,
Then Israel sent messengers to the king of Edom, saying, Let me, I pray thee, pass through thy land: but the king of Edom would not hearken to it. And in like manner they sent to the king of Moab: but he would not consent: and Israel abode in Kadesh.
18 Akhonna in Edomle Moab chu apellun gamthip noija akitol tauvin ahi. Amahon Moab solam gamgi langchu ajotnun Arnon vadung pangte nia chun ngahmun asemtauvin ahi. Ahinla amahon Moab lutna dingin Arnon vadung ahin pal galkai khapon ahi, ajeh chu Ardon chu Moab gamgi ahi.
Then they went along through the wilderness, and went around the land of Edom, and the land of Moab, and came by the east side of the land of Moab, and encamped on the other side of Arnon, but came not within the border of Moab: for Arnon was the border of Moab.
19 Hiche jouchun Israelten Heshbon na um Amor mi Sihon lengpa kommah ajotnao mun athum theina dingun agamsung hopana dinga phalna thummin thupole ho asollin ahi.
And Israel sent messengers to Sihon king of the Amorites, the king of Heshbon; and Israel said to him, Let us pass, we pray thee, through thy land to my place.
20 Ahinlah Sihon lengpan Israelten agamsungu ahopa diu anaphal pon ahi. Aman asepaite agongtoh in Jahaz munnah amaho chu ana kidoupin ahi.
But Sihon trusted not Israel to pass through his land: but Sihon gathered all his people together, and encamped in Jahaz, and fought against Israel.
21 Ahinlah Pakai Israelte Pathen chun amite chu Sihon lengpa chu anajo sah tan ahi. Hijeh chun Israelten kholang gamkaija um Amor mite gamjouse,
And the LORD God of Israel delivered Sihon and all his people into the hand of Israel, and they smote them: so Israel possessed all the land of the Amorites, the inhabitants of that country.
22 Arnon vadunga konna Jabbok vadung chuleh gamthip noi solanga konna Jordan changei chungah tha ananeijun ahi.
And they possessed all the land of the Amorites, from Arnon even to Jabbok, and from the wilderness even to Jordan.
23 Hitichun Pakai Israel Pathen’in Amor mite gamchu alahpeh a Israelte anapeh ahin hichu keihon itidan a nangho kanungpeh kitdiu ham?
So now the LORD God of Israel hath dispossessed the Amorites from before his people Israel, and shouldest thou possess it?
24 Hijeh chun na pathen uvin napeh uvin napeh uchu kikoi unlang keihon jong Pakai ka Pathennun eipeh u gamchu kakoiju ahibouve.
Wilt not thou possess that which Chemosh thy god giveth thee to possess? So whomever the LORD our God shall drive out from before us, them will we possess.
25 Nangho Moab lengpa Zippor chapa Balak sanga phajo nahiuvam? Aman Israelte chung gal anabol khah em?
And now art thou any thing better than Balak the son of Zippor, king of Moab? did he ever strive against Israel, or did he ever fight against them,
26 Israel hi hiche gammahi kum jathum hung chenga ahitan, Heshbon leh vella achenna hou Aroer leh achennao gam jouse chule Arnon vadung vella khopiho jousehi ana chenphao ahitai. Phat hitih chanpihi ipi dinga nahin nunglah louham?
While Israel dwelt in Heshbon and her towns, and in Aroer and her towns, and in all the cities that are along by the banks of Arnon, three hundred years? why therefore did ye not recover them within that time?
27 Hijeh chun keiman nang chungah suhkhel kaneipoi, nangjoh in neihung nokhum jeh ahi keichunga suhkhel naneijoh ahi, hijeh chun tunihin ichunguva vaihomma Pakaiyin Israel ham ahilouleh Ammon mite joh themmoa ham ti hinphongdoh jenghen” ati.
Therefore I have not sinned against thee, but thou doest me wrong to war against me: the LORD the Judge be judge this day between the children of Israel and the children of Ammon.
28 Ahinlah Ammon lengpan Jepthah thuthot chu anahsahpon ahi.
But the king of the children of Ammon hearkened not to the words of Jephthah which he sent him.
29 Hiche phat chun Pakai lhagaochu Jepthah chungah ahung pansatan ahi, hichun ama Gilead gamma kon in Manasseh changei chuleh Gilead sunga Mizpah changei agachonnin Ammon mite kisatpi dingin epia aga khomtan ahi.
Then the Spirit of the LORD came upon Jephthah, and he passed over Gilead, and Manasseh, and passed over Mizpeh of Gilead, and from Mizpeh of Gilead he passed over to the children of Ammon.
30 Jepthah in Pakaijah kihahselna khat ana neijin hitin anaseijin ahi, “Pakai nangman Ammon mite chungahi galjona neipeh a ahileh,
And Jephthah vowed a vow to the LORD, and said, If thou shalt without fail deliver the children of Ammon into my hands,
31 Keima galjouva kakile tengleh ka insunga konna hungpot doh a eihung kimutopi masapen penchu nang komma pumgo thilto a dinga kakatdoh jengding ahi” ati.
Then it shall be, that whatever cometh out of the doors of my house to meet me, when I return in peace from the children of Ammon, shall surely be the LORD’S, and I will offer it for a burnt offering.
32 Hitichun Jepthah in asepaite alamkaijin Ammon mite chu akisatpin ahileh Pakaiyin galjona anapetan ahi.
So Jephthah passed over to the children of Ammon to fight against them; and the LORD delivered them into his hands.
33 Aman Ammon mite chu Aroer apat Minnith kimvella gamho geijin anajouvin khopi somni chu analaan, Abel-keramin geijin ana suchip jengin ahi. Hitihin Israelten Ammon mite chu anajouvin ahi.
And he smote them from Aroer, even till thou comest to Minnith, even twenty cities, and to the plain of the vineyards, with a very great slaughter. Thus the children of Ammon were subdued before the children of Israel.
34 Jepthah chu Mizpah ainmunna ahung kilephat chun achanu chu lamna a kimang agingthei chaokol chu kibu pummin kipah tah in apa lamto dingin ahung potdoh'in ahi. Aman chapa chanu dang aneipon amanu seh seh chu anei ahi.
And Jephthah came to Mizpeh to his house, and, behold, his daughter came out to meet him with timbrels and with dances: and she was his only child; beside her he had neither son nor daughter.
35 Aman achanu chu amuphatnin lungnatah in avonho abottel jengin, “Vo kachanu” atin apengjah jengin, “Nangin kalungthim nasuna lheh jengtai, nanghi ipi dinga kalungthim suna a napan hitam? Ajeh chu keiman Pakai komma kihahselna khat kahin nei ahitan, hichea konna chu kaki nunghei theilou ding ahitai,” ati.
And it came to pass, when he saw her, that he tore his clothes, and said, Alas, my daughter! thou hast brought me very low, and thou art one of them that trouble me: for I have opened my mouth to the LORD, and I cannot go back.
36 Hichun achanun aseitai, “Hepa nangin Pakai komma kihahselna nahin nei ahitah leh nahung kihahselna bangchun kachungah tongdoh jengin, ajeh chu Pakaiyin nagalmi Ammon mite chunga galjon loupitah chu napehtah chula em!
And she said to him, My father, if thou hast opened thy mouth to the LORD, do to me according to that which hath proceeded out of thy mouth; forasmuch as the LORD hath taken vengeance for thee of thy enemies, even of the children of Ammon.
37 Ahinlah eap, thilkhat vang neibolsah ding kadeije,” Keima nungah thenga thiding kahitah jeh'in, lhani sungin kaloi kagol hotoh thinglhang gammah gavahle uvingting kakhangdonlai pulhi gadou khom uvinge” ati.
And she said to her father, Let this thing be done for me: let me alone two months, that I may go up and down upon the mountains, and bewail my virginity, I and my companions.
38 Jepthah in, “Boinu gachetan” atin lhani sunga dingin asoldohtai. Hitichun ama chu aloi agol chengtoh akhangdonlai pul doukhom dingin ache tauvin ahi.
And he said, Go. And he sent her away for two months: and she went with her companions, and bewailed her virginity upon the mountains.
39 Achanu chu ainna ahung kilephatnin apan achung change ahung kihahselna bangchun aboltan ahi. Hitichun amachu nungah thengin athitan ahi. Hiche Israelte chonna khatnin ahung umdohtan ahi.
And it came to pass at the end of two months, that she returned to her father, who did with her according to his vow which he had vowed: and she knew no man. And it was a custom in Israel,
40 Israel khangdong nungah hon kumsehleh Jepthah chanu puldouna-in nili aga potdoh jiuvin ahi.
That the daughters of Israel went yearly to lament the daughter of Jephthah the Gileadite four days in a year.
