Judges 11
1 And Jephthae the Galaadite [was] a mighty man; and he [was] the son of a harlot, who bore Jephthae to Galaad.
Teo henane zay t’Ieftake, nte-Gilade, fanalolahy, ana’ ty tsimirirañe; nasama’ i Gilade t’Ieftake.
2 And the wife of Galaad bore him sons; and the sons of his wife grew up, and they cast out Jephthae, and said to him, Thou shalt not inherit in the house of our father, for thou art the son of a concubine.
Nahatoly ana-dahy ka ty tañanjomba’ i Gilade, aa ie nibey le rinoa’ iareo añe t’Ieftake, ami’ty hoe: Tsy ho lovae’o ty anjomban-drae’ay; ihe ana-drakemba ambahiny.
3 And Jephthae fled from the face of his brethren, and dwelt in the land of Tob; and vain men gathered to Jephthae, and went out with him.
Aa le nipotatsak’ amo rahalahi’eo nimoneñe an-tane Tobe ao t’Ieftake; vaho nirekets’ amy Ieftake ondaty tsy manjofake mpiharo fiavotse ama’e.
4 And it came to pass when the children of Ammon prepared to fight with Israel,
Ie añe le tondroke te nialy am’ Israele o ana’ i Amoneo.
5 that the elders of Galaad went to fetch Jephthae from the land of Tob.
Ie amy zay, kanao nialy am’ Israele o ana’ i Amoneo, le nañitrike hangalake Ieftak’ an-tane Tobe añe o mpiaolo’ i Giladeo.
6 And they said to Jephthae, Come, and be our head, and we will fight with the sons of Ammon.
Le hoe iereo am’ Ieftake, Antao ho mpifelek’ anay, hialy amo ana’ i Amoneo.
7 And Jephthae said to the elders of Galaad, Did ye not hate me, and cast me out of my father's house, and banish me from you? and wherefore are ye come to me now when ye want me?
Aa hoe t’Ieftak’ amo roandria’ i Giladeo: Tsy mpalaiñ’ ahy hao nahareo, kanao rinoa’ areo añ’ anjomban-draeko? Inoñ’ arè ty nomba’ areo mb’amako henaneo t’ie am-poheke?
8 And the elders of Galaad said to Jephthae, Therefore have we now turned to thee, that thou shouldest go with us, and fight against the sons of Ammon, and be our head over all the inhabitants of Galaad.
Le hoe o mpiaolo’ i Giladeo am’ Ieftake: Mimpoly ama’o henaneo, hindreza’o ama’ay hifanehak’ amo ana’ i Amoneo, vaho ho fehe’o ze hene mpimone’ i Gilade.
9 And Jephthae said to the elders of Galaad, If ye turn me back to fight with the children of Ammon, and the Lord should deliver them before me, then will I be your head.
Le hoe t’Ieftak’ amo roae’ i Giladeo: Aa naho endese’o moly iraho hialy amo ana’ i Amoneo vaho hatolo’ Iehovà aoloko iereo, ho mpifehe’ areo hao?
10 And the elders of Galaad said to Jephthae, The Lord be witness between us, if we shall not do according to thy word.
Le hoe o roae’ i Giladeo am’ Ieftake, Ho valolombeloñ’ añivon-tika t’Iehovà, toe hanoe’ay i nitaroñe’oy.
11 And Jephthae went with the elders of Galaad, and the people made him head and ruler over them: and Jephthae spoke all his words before the Lord in Massepha.
Aa le nindre lia amo roae’ i Giladeo t’Ieftake, naho nanoe’ ondatio lohàñe naho mpiaolo’ iareo; vaho nitaroñe’ Ieftak’ añatrefa’ Iehovà e Mitspà i saontsi’ey.
12 And Jephthae sent messengers to the king of the children of Ammon, saying, What have I to do with thee, that thou hast come against me to fight in my land?
Nañitrik’ amy mpanjaka’ o ana’ i Amoneoy t’Ieftake, nanao ty hoe: Inoñ’ ama’o iraho t’ie nomb’ amako mb’ etoa hialy amy tanekoy?
13 And the king of the children of Ammon said to the messengers of Jephthae, Because Israel took my land when he went up out of Egypt, from Arnon to Jaboc, and to Jordan: now then return them peaceably and I will depart.
Le hoe ty natoi’ i mpanjaka’ o ana’ i Amoneoy amo ira’ Ieftakeo: Amy te tinava’ Israele ty taneko, ie niakatse boake Mitsraime añe boak’ amy Arnoney pak’ am’ Iaboke eo naho mb’ am’ Iordaney mb’eoy; ie amy zao ampolio amako am-panintsiñañe i rova rey.
14 And Jephthae again sent messengers to the king of the children of Ammon,
Nañitrik’ amy mpanjaka’ o ana’ i Amoneoy indraike t’Ieftake,
15 and said to him, Thus says Jephthae, Israel took not the land of Moab, nor the land of the children of Ammon;
nanao ty hoe, Hoe t’Ieftake; Tsy tinava’ Israele ty tane’ i Moabe ndra ty tane’ o ana’ i Amoneo.
16 for in their going up out of Egypt Israel went in the wilderness as far as the sea of Siph, and came to Cades.
Fa ie niakatse i Mitsraime añe, naho nañavelo am-pirangàñe i ratraratray sikal’ amy riake Menay t’Israele, vaho nivotrake e Kadese eo;
17 And Israel sent messengers to the king of Edom, saying, I will pass, if it please thee, by thy land: and the king of Edom complied not: and [Israel] also sent to the king of Moab, and he did not consent; and Israel sojourned in Cades.
le nampisangitrik’ amy mpanjaka’ i Edomey t’Israele nanao ty hoe: Ehe, angao iraho hiranga o tane’oo; fe tsy nañaoñe ty mpifehe Edome. Nañitrife’e ka ty mpifehe i Moabe; fe tsy nimete; vaho nañialo e Kadese ao t’Israele.
18 And [they] journeyed in the wilderness, and compassed the land of Edom and the land of Moab: and they came by the east of the land of Moab, an encamped in the country beyond Arnon, and came not within the borders of Moab, for Arnon [is] the border of Moab.
Aa le niranga i ratraratray niary an-tane Edome naho an-tane Moabe iereo, nañavelo atiñanan-tane Moabe añe, le nitobe alafe’ i Arnone eo, fa tsy nandilatse i efe-tane Moabey, amy te efe’ i Moabe ty Arnone.
19 And Israel sent messengers to Seon king of the Amorite, king of Esbon, and Israel said to him, Let us pass, we pray thee, by thy land to our place.
Le nampañitrik’ amy Sihone mpanjaka’ o nte-Amoreo, mpanjaka’ i Kesbone, t’Israele nanao ty hoe: Ehe, angao homb’eo, hiranga an-tane’o mb’an-toeko mb’eo.
20 And Seon did not trust Israel to pass by his coast; and Seon gathered all his people, and they encamped at Jasa; and he set the battle in array against Israel.
Fe tsy niantofa’ i Sihone ty hirangà’ Israele i tane’ey, te mone fonga natonto’ i Sihone ondati’eo, naho nitobe e Iahatse vaho nialy am’ Israele.
21 And the Lord God of Israel delivered Seon and all his people into the hand of Israel, and they smote him; and Israel inherited all the land of the Amorite who dwelt in that land,
Fe hene natolo’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’ Israele am-pità’ Israele t’i Sihone naho ondati’eo vaho linafa’ iareo; aa le fanaña’ Israele ty tane’ o nte-Amore nimoneñe an-tane ao iabio.
22 from Arnon and to Jaboc, and from the wilderness to Jordan.
Le fanaña’ iareo ze hene tane’ o nte-Amoreo boak’ amy Arnoney pak’ am’ Iabokey vaho boak’am-patrambey añe pak’ am’ Iordaney.
23 And now the Lord God of Israel has removed the Amorite from before his people Israel, and shalt thou inherit his [land]?
Ie amy zay rinoa’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’ Israele aolo’ ondati’e Israeleo mb’eo o nte-Amoreo, aa vaho ho fanaña’ areo hao zay?
24 Wilt thou not inherit those possessions which Chamos thy god shall cause thee to inherit; and shall not we inherit the [land of] all those whom the Lord our God has removed from before you?
Naho mahafandroake ondaty ho anahareo ty Kemose ‘ndrahare’ areo, tsy ho fanaña’ areo hao? Aa le ze roahe’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’ay aolo’ay, ro fanaña’ay.
25 And now art thou any better than Balac son of Sepphor, king of Moab? did he indeed fight with Israel, or indeed make war with him,
Likoare’o hao t’i Balak’ ana’ i Tsipore, mpanjaka’ i Moabe? Nitamea’e hao t’Israele? Naname iereo an’ aly hao?
26 when [Israel] dwelt in Esebon and in its coasts, and in the land of Aroer and in its coasts, and in all the cities by Jordan, three hundred years? and wherefore didst thou not recover them in that time?
ie fa nimoneñe e Kesbone naho amo tanà’eo, naho e Areore naho amo tanà’eo naho amy ze hene rova añ’ olo’ i Arnoney, o taoñe telon-jato zao, t’Israele. Inoñ’ arè ty tsy nandrambesa’ areo aze hatrela izay?
27 And now I have not sinned against thee, but thou wrongest me in preparing war against me: may the Lord the Judge judge this day between the children of Israel and the children of Ammon.
Ie amy zao tsy anaña’o hakeo, fa mandilatse ahy ka t’ie hialy amako; angao, hizaka añivo’ o ana’ Israeleo naho o ana’ i Amoneo t’Iehovà Mpizaka te anito.
28 But the king of the children of Ammon hearkened not to the words of Jephthae, which he sent to him.
Fe tsy hinao’ i mpanjaka’ o ana’ i Amoneoy i saontsy nihitrifa’ Ieftakey.
29 And the spirit of the Lord came upon Jephthae, and he passed over Galaad, and Manasse, and passed by the watch-tower of Galaad to the other side of the children of Ammon.
Niheo am’ Ieftak’ amy zao t’i Arofo’ Iehovà, le rinanga’e ty Mitspà’ i Gilade, le boake Mitspà’ i Gilade re nitoañe mb’ amo ana’ i Amoneo mb’eo.
30 And Jephthae vowed a vow to the Lord, and said, If thou wilt indeed deliver the children of Ammon into my hand,
Le nanao fanta amy Iehovà t’Ieftak’ ami’ty hoe: Naho toe hatolo’o an-tañako o ana’ i Amoneo,
31 then it shall come to pass that whosoever shall first come out of the door of my house to meet me when I return in peace from the children of Ammon, he shall be the Lord's: I will offer him up for a whole-burnt-offering.
le ndra inoñ’ inoñe ty miakatse an-dalan-kibohoko hifanalaka amako, ie mimpoly am-panintsiñan-draho boak’ amo ana’ i Amoneo, le ho a Iehovà, vaho hengaeko ho soroñe.
32 And Jephthae advanced to meet the sons of Ammon to fight against them; and the Lord delivered them into his hand.
Aa le nitsake mb’ amo ana’ i Amoneo mb’eo haname iareo t’Ieftake; vaho natolo’ Iehovà am-pità’e.
33 And he smote them from Aroer till [one] comes to Arnon, in number twenty cities, and as far as Ebelcharmim, with a very great destruction: and the children of Ammon were straitened before the children of Israel.
Le linafa’e boak’ Aroere, ampara’ ty figadoñañe e Minite añe, rova roapolo naho mb’ Abele-keramine mb’eo am-panjamanam-bey. Aa le niambane amo ana’ Israeleo o ana’ i Amoneo.
34 And Jephthae came to Massepha to his house; and behold, his daughter came forth to meet him with timbrels and dances; and she was his only child, he had not another son or daughter.
Ie nivotrak’ añ’ anjomba’e e Mitspà eo t’Ieftake, hehe te i anak’ ampela’ey ty niakatse hifanalaka ama’e ninday fikoriñañe an-tsinjake; i bako-toka’ey; tsy nanañ’ anadahy ndra anak’ ampela re naho tsy ie.
35 And it came to pass when he saw her, that he rent his garments, and said, Ah, ah, my daughter, thou hast indeed troubled me, and thou wast the cause of my trouble; and I have opened my mouth against thee to the Lord, and I shall not be able to return from it.
Ie nahaoniñe aze, le nandriatse o siki’eo, nanao ty hoe: Hoy abey! anako! Vata’e nampiambane’o! nanoe’o am-poheke, amy te sinokako amy Iehovà ty vavako, vaho tsy ifoterañe.
36 And she said to him, Father, hast thou opened thy mouth to the Lord? Do to me accordingly as [the word] went out of thy mouth, in that the Lord has wrought vengeance for thee on thine enemies of the children of Ammon.
Le hoe re ama’e, O raeko, kanao nanoka-palie am’ Iehovà, le ano amako i niakatse am-palie’oy, amy te namale fate ho azo, amo rafelahi’o ana’ i Amoneo, t’Iehovà.
37 And she said to her father, Let my father now do this thing: let me alone for two months, and I will go up and down on the mountains, and I will bewail my virginity, I and my companions.
Le tinovo’e aman-drae’e ty hoe: Ehe te hanoeñe amako o raha zao t’ie ho vahiny volan-droe hañambone-ambane’ o vohitseo hangoihoy ty hasomondrarako, izaho naho o mpiamakoo.
38 And he said, Go: and he sent her away for two months; and she went, and her companions, and she bewailed her virginity on the mountains.
Le hoe re: Akia, le nirahe’e mb’eo volañe roe, le nionjomb’eo rekets’ o rañe’eo nirovetse i hasomondrara’ey an-kaboañe ey.
39 And it came to pass at the end of the two months that she returned to her father; and he performed upon her his vow which he vowed; and she knew no man:
Ie modo i volañe roe rey, le nimpoly aman-drae’e vaho nanoe’e ama’e i nifantà’ey, ie mbe tsy nahavany lahy. Izay ty nifotora’ ty lilitse e Israele ao,
40 and it was an ordinance in Israel, [That] the daughters of Israel went from year to year to bewail the daughter of Jephthae the Galaadite for four days in a year.
te mb’eo boa-taoñe o anak’ ampela’ Israeleo hirovetse i anak’ ampela’ Ieftake nte-Giladey, efatse andro ami’ ty taoñe.
