Judges 11
1 Now Jephthah the Gileadite was a mighty man of valour, and he was the son of a harlot; and Gilead had begotten Jephthah.
Teo henane zay t’Ieftake, nte-Gilade, fanalolahy, ana’ ty tsimirirañe; nasama’ i Gilade t’Ieftake.
2 And Gilead's wife bore him sons; and when his wife's sons were grown, they expelled Jephthah, and said to him, Thou shalt not inherit in our father's house; for thou art the son of another woman.
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 Then Jephthah fled from his brethren, and dwelt in the land of Tob. And vain men were gathered to Jephthah, and they made expeditions 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 after some time, that the children of Ammon fought with Israel.
Ie añe le tondroke te nialy am’ Israele o ana’ i Amoneo.
5 And when the children of Ammon made war against Israel, the elders of Gilead went to fetch Jephthah out of 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 Jephthah, Come, and be our captain, that we may fight against the children of Ammon.
Le hoe iereo am’ Ieftake, Antao ho mpifelek’ anay, hialy amo ana’ i Amoneo.
7 And Jephthah said to the elders of Gilead, Did not ye hate me, and expel me out of my father's house? and why are ye come to me now when ye are in trouble?
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 Gilead said to Jephthah, Therefore we have returned to thee now, that thou mayest go with us, and fight against the children of Ammon, and be head over all of us the inhabitants of Gilead.
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 Jephthah said to the elders of Gilead, If ye take me back to fight against the children of Ammon, and Jehovah give them up before me, shall 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 Gilead said unto Jephthah, Jehovah be witness between us, if we do not so according to thy words!
Le hoe o roae’ i Giladeo am’ Ieftake, Ho valolombeloñ’ añivon-tika t’Iehovà, toe hanoe’ay i nitaroñe’oy.
11 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 Jehovah in Mizpah.
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 Jephthah sent messengers to the king of the children of Ammon, saying, What hast thou to do with me, that thou art come against me to fight against 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 Jephthah, Because Israel took away my land, when they came up out of Egypt, from the Arnon even unto the Jabbok and unto the Jordan; and now restore it peaceably.
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 Jephthah sent messengers again to the king of the children of Ammon,
Nañitrik’ amy mpanjaka’ o ana’ i Amoneoy indraike t’Ieftake,
15 and said to him, Thus saith Jephthah: Israel took not away 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 But when they came up from Egypt, then Israel walked through the wilderness as far as the Red sea, and came to Kadesh.
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, Let me, I pray thee, pass through thy land; but the king of Edom would not hearken. And they also sent to the king of Moab; and he would not. And Israel abode in Kadesh.
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 walked through the wilderness, and went round the land of Edom and the land of Moab, and came by the east of the land of Moab, and encamped beyond the Arnon, but came not within the border of Moab, for the 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 Sihon king of the Amorites, the king of Heshbon, and Israel said to him, Let us pass, we pray thee, through thy land unto my 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 But Sihon trusted not Israel, to let him pass through his border, and Sihon gathered all his people, and they encamped in Jahzah; and he fought with 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 Jehovah the God of Israel gave Sihon and all his people into the hand of Israel, and they smote them; and Israel took possession of the whole land of the Amorites, who dwelt in that country.
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 And they possessed all the borders of the Amorites, from the Arnon unto the Jabbok, and from the wilderness unto the 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 Jehovah the God of Israel has dispossessed the Amorites from before his people Israel, and shouldest thou take possession of it?
Ie amy zay rinoa’ Iehovà Andrianañahare’ Israele aolo’ ondati’e Israeleo mb’eo o nte-Amoreo, aa vaho ho fanaña’ areo hao zay?
24 Dost not thou possess what Chemosh thy god puts thee in possession of? and whatever Jehovah our God has dispossessed before us, that will we possess.
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 indeed better than Balak the son of Zippor, king of Moab? did he ever strive with Israel? did he ever fight against them?
Likoare’o hao t’i Balak’ ana’ i Tsipore, mpanjaka’ i Moabe? Nitamea’e hao t’Israele? Naname iereo an’ aly hao?
26 While Israel dwelt in Heshbon and its dependent villages, and in Aroer and its dependent villages, and in all the cities that are along the banks of the Arnon, three hundred years — why did ye not recover [them] within 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 So I have not sinned against thee, but it is thou who doest me wrong in making war against me. Jehovah, the Judge, be 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 Jephthah that he had sent him.
Fe tsy hinao’ i mpanjaka’ o ana’ i Amoneoy i saontsy nihitrifa’ Ieftakey.
29 Then the Spirit of Jehovah came upon Jephthah, and he passed through Gilead and Manasseh, and passed to Mizpeh of Gilead, and from Mizpeh of Gilead he passed over to 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 Jephthah vowed a vow to Jehovah, and said, If thou wilt without fail give 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 shall that which cometh forth from the door of my house to meet me, when I return in peace from the children of Ammon, be Jehovah's, and I will offer it up for a 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 Jephthah passed over to the children of Ammon to fight against them; and Jehovah gave 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 until thou come to Minnith, twenty cities, even unto Abel-Cheramim, with a very great slaughter; and the children of Ammon were subdued 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 Jephthah came to Mizpah to his house, and behold, his daughter came out to meet him with tambours and with dances; and she was an only child: besides her he had neither son nor 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, 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 Jehovah, and I cannot go back.
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, My father, if thou hast opened thy mouth to Jehovah, do to me according to that which has proceeded out of thy mouth; forasmuch as Jehovah has taken vengeance for thee upon thine enemies, upon 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 this thing be done for me: leave me alone two months, that I may go and descend to the mountains, and 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 with her companions, and bewailed her virginity upon 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 two months, that she returned to her father, and he performed on her the vow that he had vowed; and she had known no man. And it became a fixed custom in Israel,
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 that from year to year the daughters of Israel go to celebrate the daughter of Jephthah the Gileadite four days in the year.
te mb’eo boa-taoñe o anak’ ampela’ Israeleo hirovetse i anak’ ampela’ Ieftake nte-Giladey, efatse andro ami’ ty taoñe.
