< Judges 11 >
1 Now Jephthah the Gileadite was a mighty man of valor, and he was the son of a harlot, and Gilead begot Jephthah.
HE kanaka koa loa o Iepeta, no Gileada, a he keiki ia na kekahi wahine hookamakama: na Gileada o Iepeta.
2 And Gilead's wife bore sons to him. And when his wife's sons grew up, they drove out Jephthah, and said to him, Thou shall not inherit in our father's house, for thou are the son of another woman.
Hanau mai la ka Gileada wahine i mau keikikane nana; a oo ae la na keikikane a kana wahine, kipaku aku la lakou ia Iepeta, i aku la ia ia, Aole ou kuleana ma ka hale o ko makou makuakane; no ka mea, he keiki oe na kekahi wahine e.
3 Then Jephthah fled from his brothers, and dwelt in the land of Tob. And vain fellows were gathered to Jephthah, and they went out with him.
Holo aku la o Iepeta, mai ke alo aku o kona poe hoahanau, a noho ma ka aina o Toba. Akoakoa mai la na kanaka lapuwale io Iepeta la, a hele pu me ia.
4 And it came to pass after a while, that the sons of Ammon made war against Israel.
A mahope iho o ia mau la, kaua aku la na mamo a Amona i ka Iseraela.
5 And it was so, that, when the sons of Ammon made war against Israel, the elders of Gilead went to fetch Jephthah out of the land of Tob.
A i ka manawa i kaua aku ai na mamo a Amona i ka Iseraela, alaila, hele aku la na lunakahiko o Gileada e lawe mai ia Iepeta, mai ka aina mai o Toba.
6 And they said to Jephthah, Come and be our chief, that we may fight with the sons of Ammon.
I aku la lakou ia Iepeta, E hele mai oe i luna kaua no makou, i kaua aku makou i na mamo a Amona.
7 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?
I mai la o Iepeta i na luna kahiko o Gileada, Aole anei oukou i hoowahawaha mai ia'u, a kipaku mai ia'u, mai ka hale mai o ko'u makuakane? No ke aha la oukou e hele mai ai io'u nei, i keia wa a oukou i pilikia'i?
8 And the elders of Gilead said to Jephthah, For that reason we turned again to thee now, that thou may go with us, and fight with the sons of Ammon. And thou shall be our head over all the inhabitants of Gilead.
I aku la na lunakahiko o Gileada ia Iepeta, Ke hoi hou mai nei makou ia oe, e hele pu oe me makou, e kaua aku i na mamo a Amona, a i lilo oe i poo maluna o ka poe a pau e noho ana ma Gileada.
9 And Jephthah said to the elders of Gilead, If ye bring me home again to fight with the sons of Ammon, and Jehovah delivers them before me, shall I be your head?
I mai la o Iepeta i na lunakahiko o Gileada, Ina hoihoi oukou ia'u e kaua aku i na mamo a Amona, a haawi mai o Iehova ia lakou imua o'u, e lilo anei au i poo no oukou?
10 And the elders of Gilead said to Jephthah, Jehovah shall be witness between us. Surely according to thy word so will we do.
I aku la na lunakahiko o Gileada ia Iepeta, Na Iehova no e hoolohe mai mawaena o kakou, ke hana ole makou e like me kau olelo.
11 Then Jephthah went with the elders of Gilead, and the people made him head and chief over them. And Jephthah spoke all his words before Jehovah in Mizpah.
Alaila hele pu o Iepeta me na lunakahiko o Gileada, a hoonoho iho la na kanaka ia Iepeta, i poo, a i luna hoi maluna o lakou. Olelo aku la o Iepeta i kana olelo a pau imua o Iehova ma Mizepa.
12 And Jephthah sent messengers to the king of the sons of Ammon, saying, What have thou to do with me, that thou have come to me to fight against my land?
Hoouna aku la o Iepeta i elele, i ke alii o na mamo a Amona, i aku la, Heaha kau ia'u, i hele mai ai oe e kaua i ko'u aina?
13 And the king of the sons of Ammon answered to the messengers of Jephthah, Because Israel took away my land when he came up out of Egypt, from the Arnon even to the Jabbok, and to the Jordan. Now therefore restore those lands again peaceably.
I mai la ke alii o na mamo a Amona i na elele o Iepeta, No ka mea, lawe lilo ka Iseraela i ko'u aina, mai Arenona a hiki i Iaboka, a me Ioredane, i ka wa a lakou i hele mai ai, mailoko mai o Aigupita; nolaila, e hoihoi mai oe ia, me ka malu.
14 And Jephthah sent messengers again to the king of the sons of Ammon.
Hoouna hou aku la o Iepeta i elele i ke alii o na mamo a Amona:
15 And he said to him, Thus says Jephthah: Israel did not take away the land of Moab, nor the land of the sons of Ammon,
I aku la ia ia, Ke olelo mai nei o Iepeta, aole i lawe ka Iseraela i ka aina o Moaba, aole hoi i ka aina o na mamo a Amona;
16 but when they came up from Egypt, and Israel went through the wilderness to the Red Sea, and came to Kadesh,
I ka manawa i hele mai ai ka Iseraela, mai Aigupita mai, hele no lakou, ma ka waonahele a hiki i ke Kaiula, a komo no i Kadesa.
17 then Israel sent messengers to the king of Edom, saying, Let me, I pray thee, pass through thy land, but the king of Edom did not hearken. And in like manner he sent to the king of Moab, but he would not. And Israel abode in Kadesh.
Alaila, hoouna ka Iseraela i elele i ke alii o Edoma, i aku la, E hele paha wau mawaena o kou aina. Aole hoolohe mai ke alii o Edoma. Pela no lakou i hoouna aku ai i ke alii o Moaba. Aole ia i ae, a noho no ka Iseraela ma Kadesa.
18 Then they went 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 they encamped on the other side of the Arnon, but they did not come within the border of Moab, for the Arnon was the border of Moab.
Hele ae la lakou ma ka waonahele, a puni ka aina o Edoma, a me ka aina o Moaba, ma ka aoao hikina o Moaba ka hele ana; a hoomoana iho la ma kela aoao o Arenona, aole hoi i komo maloko o na mokuna o Moaba; no ka mea, o Arenona ka mokuna o Moaba.
19 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.
Hoouna aku la ka Iseraela i elele ia Sihona, i ke alii o ka Amora, ke alii o Hesebona, i aku la o Iseraela ia ia, E hele paha makou mawaena o kou aina, a hiki i ko'u wahi.
20 But Sihon did not trust Israel to pass through his border, but Sihon gathered all his people together, and encamped in Jahaz, and fought against Israel.
Aole oluolu o Sihona ke hele ka Iseraela ma kona mokuna. Hoakoakoa mai la o Sihona i kona poe kanaka a pau, a hoomoana iho la ma Iahaza, a kaua mai la i ka Iseraela.
21 And Jehovah, the 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.
Haawi mai la o Iehova, ke Akua o ka Iseraela ia Sihona, a me kona poe kanaka a pau i ka lima o ka Iseraela, a luku aku la lakou nei i kela poe. A komo iho ka Iseraela i ka aina a pau o ka Amora, ka poe i noho ma ia aina.
22 And they possessed all the border of the Amorites, from the Arnon even to the Jabbok, and from the wilderness even to the Jordan.
A komo no lakou i na mokuna a pau o ka Amora, mai Arenona, a hiki i Iaboka, mai ka waonahele, a hiki i Ioredane.
23 So now Jehovah, the God of Israel, has dispossessed the Amorites from before his people Israel, and should thou possess them?
Ua hoonele mai o Iehova, ke Akua o ka Iseraela i ka Amora, mai ke alo aku o ka Iseraela, a e komo anei oe ia wahi?
24 Will thou not possess that which Chemosh thy god gives thee to possess? So whomever Jehovah our God has dispossessed from before us, them will we possess.
Aole anei oe e komo i kahi a Kemosa, a kou akua, e hookomo ai ia oe? A o na mea a pau a Iehova a ko makou Akua e hoonele ai imua o makou, oia ka makou e komo ai.
25 And now are thou anything better than Balak the son of Zippor, king of Moab? Did he ever strive against Israel, or did he ever fight against them?
Ua oi aku anei kou maikai mamua o ko Balaka, ke keiki a Zipora ke alii o Moaba? Ua paio anei ia me ka Iseraela, ua kaua anei ia lakou,
26 While Israel dwelt in Heshbon and its towns, and in Aroer and its towns, and in all the cities that are along by the side of the Arnon, three hundred years, why did ye not recover them within that time?
I ka noho ana o ka Iseraela ma Hesebona, a me kona mau kulanakauhale, a ma Aroera, a me kona mau kulanakauhale, a ma na kulanakauhale a pau e kokoke ana i na mokuna o Arenona, ekolu haneri makahiki? No ke aha la oukou i kii ole mai e lawe ia manawa?
27 I therefore have not sinned against thee, but thou do me wrong to war against me. Jehovah, the Judge, be judge this day between the sons of Israel and the sons of Ammon.
Aole au i hana hewa ia oe, aka, ke hana hewa mai nei oe ia'u i kou kaua ana mai ia'u. O Iehova ka lunakanawai, nana no e hooponopono mai i keia la iwaena o na mamo a Iseraela a me na mamo a Amona.
28 However the king of the sons of Ammon did not hearken to the words of Jephthah which he sent him.
Aole hoolohe ke alii o na mamo a Amona i na olelo a Iepeta ana i hoouna aku ai ia ia.
29 Then the Spirit of Jehovah 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 sons of Ammon.
Alaila kau mai la ka Uhane o ke Akua maluna o Iepeta, a kaahele ae la ia i Gileada, a me ko Manase, a kaahele aku ia Mizepa o Gileada, a mai Mizepa o Gileada ia i hele aku ai a i na mamo a Amona.
30 And Jephthah vowed a vow to Jehovah, and said, If thou will indeed deliver the sons of Ammon into my hand,
Hoohiki iho la o Iepeta, me ka olelo haawi no Iehova, i aku la, Ina e haawi io mai oe i na mamo a Amona i ko'u lima,
31 then it shall be, that whatever comes forth from the doors of my house to meet me, when I return in peace from the sons of Ammon, it shall be Jehovah's, and I will offer it up for a burnt offering.
Alaila, o ka mea e puka e mai ana, mailoko mai o na puka o ko'u hale, e halawai me au, i ko'u hoi ana me ka malu, mai na mamo a Amona aku, oia ko Iehova, a i ole ia na'u ia e kaumaha aku i mohai kuni.
32 So Jephthah passed over to the sons of Ammon to fight against them, and Jehovah delivered them into his hand.
Hele aku la o Iepeta i na mamo a Amona, e kaua aku ia lakou; a haawi mai o Iehova ia lakou i kona lima.
33 And he smote them from Aroer until thou come to Minnith, even twenty cities, and to Abelcheramim, with a very great slaughter. So the sons of Ammon were subdued before the sons of Israel.
Luku aku la ia ia lakou, mai Aroera aku a hiki i Minita, he iwakalua kulanakauhale, a hiki no hoi i ka papu o na malawaina, he luku nui loa. Pio iho la na mamo a Amona imua o ke alo o na mamo a Iseraela.
34 And Jephthah came to Mizpah to his house, and, behold, his daughter came out to meet him with timbrels and with dances. And she was his only child. Besides her he had neither son nor daughter.
Hoi mai la o Iepeta i Mizepa, i kona hale; aia hoi kana kaikamahine i hele mai iwaho, e halawai me ia, me na pahu kani, a me ka hula. O kana hanau kahi no ia; aole ana keikikane, aole hoi kaikamahine e ae.
35 And it came to pass, when he saw her, that he tore his clothes, and said, Alas, my daughter! Thou have brought me very low, and thou are one of those who trouble me, for I have opened my mouth to Jehovah, and I cannot go back.
A ike aku la o Iepeta ia ia, haehae iho la i kona aahu, i aku la, Auwe kuu kaikamahine e! Ua hookaumaha loa mai oe ia'u; o oe kekahi i hoopilikia mai ia'u. Ua oaka ae la au i kuu waha ia Iehova, aole hiki ia'u ke hoi hope.
36 And she said to him, My father, thou have opened thy mouth to Jehovah. Do to me according to that which has proceeded out of thy mouth, inasmuch as Jehovah has taken vengeance for thee on thine enemies, even on the sons of Ammon.
I aku la oia ia ia, E kuu makuakane, ua oaka oe i kou waha ia Iehova ea, e hana mai oe ia'u, e like me kela mea i puka aku, mai kou waha aku; no ka mea, ua hoopai o Iehova i kou poe enemi nou, i na mamo hoi a Amona.
37 And she said to her father, Let this thing be done for me: Let me alone two months, that I may depart and go down upon the mountains, and bewail my virginity, I and my companions.
I aku la oia i kona makuakane, E hanaia keia mea no'u; e waiho wale ia'u, i elua malama, i hele au a kaahele i na mauna, a uwe i ko'u puupaa ana, owau a me ko'u poe hoahanau.
38 And he said, Go. And he sent her away for two months. And she departed, she and her companions, and bewailed her virginity upon the mountains.
I mai la kela, O hele. Hoouna ae la oia ia ia i elua malama. Hele aku la ia me kona mau hoalauna, a uwe iho la ma na mauna no kona puupaa ana.
39 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,
A i ka pau ana o na malama elua, hoi mai la kela i kona makuakane, a hana aku la oia ia ia i kona hoohiki ana i hoohiki ai; aole hoi ia i ike i ke kane: a lilo ia i oihana mawaena o ka Iseraela,
40 that the daughters of Israel went yearly to celebrate the daughter of Jephthah the Gileadite four days in a year.
O ka hele ana o na kaikamahine o ka Iseraela, i kela makahiki, i keia makahiki, e hoomaikai i ke kaikamahine a Iepeta, no Gileada, eha la i ka makahiki
