Judges 11
1 Jephthah of Gilead was a strong fighter. He was the son of a prostitute, and his father was Gilead.
Yefeda da mae beda: iwane gasa bagade dadi gagui dunu esalu. E da Gilia: de sogega esalu. Ea ame da wadela: i hamosu uda (ea da: i hodo bidi lasu uda). Ea ada dio da Gilia: de.
2 Gilead's wife gave him sons, who when they grew up, drove Jephthah away, telling him, “You won't inherit anything from our father because you are another woman's son.”
Gilia: de da dunu mano eno esalu. Ilia da ea udadafa amoga lalelegei. Ilia da asigilaloba, Yefeda amo ilia diasuga sefasi. Ilia da ema amane sia: i, “Di da ninia ada ea nana liligi hame lamu. Bai di da wamomano. Di da uda eno ea mano.”
3 Jephthah ran away from his brothers and went to live in the land of Tob. A gang of trouble-makers joined him and he led them out on raids.
Yefeda da yolali ilima hobeale, Dobe soge ganodini esalu. Amogawi, udigili esalebe dunu eno da ema gilisili, ilia da gilisili lalu.
4 Later on, the Ammonites were at war with Israel.
Amo fa: no, A:mounaide dunu da Isala: ili dunuma gegemusa: misi.
5 As the Ammonites were attacking Israel, the elders of Gilead came to get Jephthah from the land of Tob.
Amo hou da doaga: beba: le, Gilia: de soge ouligisu dunu da Yefeda bu oule misa: ne, Dobe sogega asi.
6 “Come and be our army commander,” they asked Jepthah, “so we can fight the Ammonites.”
Ilia amane sia: i, “Ninia da A: mounaide dunu ilima noga: le gegemusa: gini, di da ninima bisili ilibi gaguma.”
7 “Weren't you the ones who hated me and drove me from my father's house?” Jephthah asked them, “Why are you coming to me now you're in trouble?”
Be Yefeda da bu adole i, “Dilia da nama bagadewane higabeba: le, na ada ea diasuga sefasi dagoi. Amaiba: le, dilia da wali se nababeba: le, abuliba: le nama misibala: ?”
8 “Yes, that's why we've turned to you now,” the elders of Gilead replied. “Come with us and fight the Ammonites, and you will be the leader of all the people of Gilead.”
Ilia da Yefedama bu adole i, “Ninia da di da nini A: mounaide dunuma gegemusa: ouligimu amola Gilia: de dunu huluane ilima ouligisu esalumu, amo hanaiba: le, wali dima misi.”
9 “So if I go back with you and fight the Ammonites, and the Lord makes me victorious, then I'll be your leader?” Jephthah asked the elders of Gilead.
Yefeda da ilima amane sia: i, “Dilia da na amo na sogega A: mounaide dunu ilima gegemusa: oule ahoasea, amola Hina Gode da fidibiba: le, ninia da amo dunuma hasalasisia, na da dilima ouligisu dunu esalumu.”
10 “The Lord will be a witness between us,” they replied. “We'll do whatever you say.”
Ilia da bu adole i, “Defea! Hina Gode ba: ma: ne, ninia da di, ninia ouligisu hamoma: ne ilegele sia: sa.”
11 So Jephthah went with the elders of Gilead, and the people made him their leader and army commander. And Jephthah repeated all his conditions before the Lord at Mizpah.
Amaiba: le, Yefeda da Gilia: de ouligisu dunu amo sigi asi. Ilia da Yefeda ilia ouligisu amo hamoi. Yefeda ea musa: sia: i, amo huluane e da Misiba moilai amo ganodini, Hina Gode nabima: ne, bu sia: i.
12 Then Jephthah sent messengers to the king of the Ammonites to ask him, “What have you got against me that you want to attack my land?”
Amalalu, Yefeda da sia: adole iasu dunu amo A: mone hina bagade ema asunasi. Ilia ema amane adole ba: i, “Di da abuliba: le ninima gegesala: ? Di da abuliba: le ninima gegemusa: ninia soge ganodini golili sa: i?”
13 The king of the Ammonites replied to Jephthah's messengers, “Israel seized my land when they came from Egypt. It extended from the Arnon River to the Jabbok River, and across to the Jordan River. So give it back and there'll be no fighting.”
A: mounaide hina bagade da Yefeda ea asunasi adole iasu dunuma bu adole i, “Isala: ili dunu da Idibidi soge fisili, ga asili, ilia da na soge amo ea defei da Anone Hano asili Ya: boge Hano amola Yodane Hano amoga doaga: i, amo soge Isala: ili dunu da wamolai. Dilia amo soge bu mae gegenane, nama bu ima.”
14 Jephthah sent messengers back to the king of the Ammonites
Be Yefeda da eno adole iasu dunu A: mounaide hina bagade ema asunasi.
15 to tell him, “This is Jephthah's reply: The Israelites did not take any land from Moab or from the Ammonites.
Ilia da ema amane sia: i, “Dia sia: i amo Isala: ili dunu da Moua: be soge amola A: mone soge wamolai da ogogosa.
16 When they left Egypt, the Israelites went through the desert to the Red Sea and arrived at Kadesh.
Hou da agoane ba: i. Isala: ili dunu da Idibidi soge fisili, ilia da hafoga: i wadela: i soge amo ganodini asili, Maga: me Hano Wayabo amoga doaga: i. Asili, ilia da Ga: idese sogega doaga: i.
17 They sent messengers to the king of Edom, saying, ‘Please let us pass through your country,’ but the king of Edom refused to listen. They also sent the same request to the king of Moab, and he refused too. So they remained at Kadesh.
Amalalu, ilia da Idome hina bagade ema sia: adola masa: ne dunu asunasi. Ilia da Isala: ili dunu da ea soge amoga golili sa: ili baligimusa: adole ba: i. Be Idome hina bagade da ilia sia: hame nabi. Amalalu, ilia da Moua: be hina bagade amane adole ba: i. Be e amola da ilia logo ga: i dagoi. Amaiba: le, Isala: ili dunu da Ga: idese amoga bu esalu.
18 Eventually the Israelites traveled through the desert, avoiding the lands of Edom and Moab. They arrived on the east side of the land of Moab and camped on the other side of the Arnon River. But they did not enter Moab territory, for the Arnon River was its border.
Amalalu, ilia da wadela: i hafoga: i soge amo ganodini bu ahoanu, ilia da Idome soge amola Moua: be soge mae golili sa: ili, la: ididili asili, ilia da Anone Hano na: iyadodili (Moua: be soge amo eso mabe la: idiga diala) amoga doaga: i. Ilia da amoga abula moilai gaguli esalu be Anone Hano hame degei. Bai amo hano da Moua: be soge ea eso mabe defei galu.
19 Then the Israelites sent messengers to Sihon, king of the Amorites, who ruled from Heshbon, and asked him, ‘Please let us pass through your land to our own country.’
Amalalu, Isala: ili dunu da A: moulaide hina bagade Hesiabone moilai bai bagade ganodini esalu ea dio amo Saihone ema sia: adola ahoasu dunu asunasi. Ilia da ilia soge amoga doaga: musa: , ea soge golili sa: ili, baligimusa: adole ba: i.
20 But Sihon didn't trust the Israelites to pass through his territory. So he assembled his army, set up camp at Jahaz, and attacked the Israelites.
Be Saihone da “hame mabu” sia: i. E da ea dadi gagui dunu huluane gilisili, Ya: iha: se sogega fiafiale fi. Amalalu, e da Isala: ili dunuma doagala: i.
21 However, the Lord, the God of Israel, handed over Sihon and all his people to the Israelites, who defeated them. So the Israelites took over all the land inhabited by the Amorites.
Be Isala: ili ilia Hina Gode da fidibiba: le, ilia da Saihone amola ea dadi gagui dunu hasali. Amalalu, Isala: ili dunu da A: moulaide dunu huluane amo sogega esalu ilia soge huluane lai dagoi.
22 They occupied all the territory of the Amorites from the Arnon River to the Jabbok River, and from the desert to the Jordan River.
Ilia da A: moulaide soge huluane gesowale fi. Soge defei da gagoe (south) Anone Hano amola gagoe (north) da Ya: boge Hano. Eso mabadili alalo da hafoga: i wadela: i soge amola eso dabe la: idi alalo da Yodane Hano.
23 It was the Lord, the God of Israel, who drove out the Amorites before his people Israel, so why should you take it over?
Amaiba: le, Hina Gode Hisu da Ea fi dunu (Isala: ili fi) amo soge ili gesowale fima: ne, A:moulaide dunu sefasi dagoi.
24 Why don't you keep whatever your god Chemosh gave you, and we'll keep whatever the Lord our God has given us?
Di da amo soge bu samogema: bela: ? Hame mabu! Dia ‘gode’ liligi amo Gimose da soge dilima i, amo dia gagumu da defea. Be liligi amola soge huluane amo ninia Hina Gode da ninima i, amo huluane ninia da gagumu.
25 Do you think you're so much better than Balak, son of Zippor, king of Moab? Did he ever quarrel with Israel or attack them?
Moua: be hina bagade amo Bela: ge (Sibo egefe) e da Isala: ili fi ilima gegemusa: logebela: ? Hame mabu! E da eso afaega ninima gegebela: ? Hame mabu! Di da ea hou baligisa amo dawa: sala: ?
26 Israelites have been living in Heshbon, Aroer, their villages, and in all the towns along the banks of the Arnon River for three hundred years. Why didn't you take them back during that time?
Isala: ili dunu da ode 300 amoga Hesiabone, Aloue amola eno moilai amo sisiga: sa moilai Anone Hano bega: diala, amo ganodini esalu. Di da abuliba: le amo ode ganodini amo soge bu hame samogebela: ?
27 I have not sinned against you, but you have done me wrong by going to war against me. Let the Lord, the Judge, decide today between the Israelites and the Ammonites.”
Hame mabu! Na da dima wadela: le hame hamoi. Di da nama gegemusa: dawa: beba: le, wadela: le hamosa. Hina Gode Hisu da fofada: su dunu. E da wali eso Isala: ili dunu da moloi o A: mounaide dunu da moloi, Hi fawane da sia: mu.”
28 But the king of Ammon didn't pay any attention to what Jephthah had to say.
Be A: mounaide hina bagade da Yefeda ea adole iasisu amo hame nabi.
29 Then the Spirit of the Lord came on Jephthah. He passed through Gilead and Manasseh, then on through Mizpah of Gilead. From there he advanced to attack the Ammonites.
Amalalu, Hina Gode Ea A: silibu da Yefeda amoma aligila sa: i. E da asili, Gilia: de soge amola Mana: se soge baligili, Misiba moilai (Gilia: de soge ganodini) amoga buhagi. Amalalu, e da A: mone sogega asi.
30 Jephthah made a solemn promise to the Lord, saying, “If you make me victorious over the Ammonites,
E da Hina Godema amane sia: i, “Dia fidimuba: le, na da A: mounaide dunu fane legesea,
31 I will dedicate to the Lord whatever comes out of the door of my house to meet me on my safe return from the battle. I will present it as a burnt offering.”
na da na diasuga bu masea, adi liligi nama yosia: musa: na diasu logoga masea, na da amo Dima gobele salasu hamoma: ne gobele salimu.”
32 Jephthah advanced to attack the Ammonites, and the Lord gave him the victory over them.
Amalalu, Yefeda da A: mounaide dunuma gegemusa: , hano degei dagoi. Amola Hina Gode da fidibiba: le, e da A: mounaide dunu hasali dagoi.
33 He soundly defeated them, capturing twenty cities from Aroer to the area around Minnith, up as far as Abel-keramim. This is how the Ammonites were conquered by the Israelites.
E da ilima doagala: i. E da Aloue moilai amola soge amo da Minidi moilai sisiga: i, amola moilai bai bagade huluane da20amoma doagala: le, A:mounaide dunu sefasili, A:ibele Gelamimi moilai bai bagadega doaga: i. Isala: ili dunu da A: mounaide dunu hasali amola ilia da A: mounaide dunu osea: i medole legei.
34 When Jephthah arrived home in Mizpah, there came his daughter out to meet him, with tambourines and dancing! She was his only child—he had no son or daughter apart from her.
Yefeda da Misiba moilaiga buhagili, idiwi da ilibu dusa amola gagafola, hahawane ema yosia: musa: manebe ba: i. E da ea mano afadafa fawane esalu.
35 The moment he saw her, he ripped his clothes in agony and cried out, “Oh no, my daughter! You have crushed me completely! You have destroyed me, for I made a solemn promise to the Lord and I can't go back on it.”
Yefeda da idiwi ba: beba: le, se bagade nabi. E da ea abula gadelale, amane sia: i, “Nadiwi! Na da diba: le se bagadedafa naba! Bai na da Hina Godema dafawane hamomusa: ilegele sia: i dagoiba: le, bu afadenemu da hamedei galebe.”
36 She replied, “Father, you have made a solemn promise to the Lord. Do to me what you promised, for the Lord brought vengeance your enemies, the Ammonites.”
Idiwi da ema bu adole i, “Na ada! Di da Hina Godema amane hamoma: ne ilegele sia: i dagoi. Hina Gode da dia ha lai dunu amo A: mounaide dunu amo fane legei dagoi. Amaiba: le, di da dia musa: Godema sia: i amo hou nama hamomu da defea.
37 Then she went on to say to him, “Just let me do this: let me walk through the hills for two months with my friends and grieve the fact that I'll never marry.”
Be na da liligi afadafa dima edegesa. Na da oubi aduna amoga agolo soge ganodini ahoanumu amola na na: iyado huluane gilisili dimu da defeala: ? Bai na da dunuma hamedafa fimu.”
38 “You can go,” he told her. He sent her away for two months, and she and her friends went into the hills and cried because she would never marry.
Yefeda da amane sia: i, “Defea! Di masa! Oubi aduna amoga agoane hamoma.” Amalalu, e amola ea na: iyado a: fini eno ilia da agolo sogega asili, dinanu. Bai e da dunuga mae lale, mano mae lalelegele bogomu dawa: beba: le dinanu.
39 When the two months were over, she returned to her father, and he did to her as he had promised, and she was a virgin. This is the origin of the custom in Israel
Oubi aduna uduli, e da ea ada ema buhagili, ea eda e Hina Godema ilegele sia: i defele ema hamoi dagoi. Yefeda idiwi da dunuma gilisili mae golale bogoi. Isala: ili dunu da amo dawa: beba: le, agoane hou hamonana.
40 that every year the young women of Israel leave for four days to weep in commemoration of the daughter of Jephthah the Gileadite.
Ode huluane ganodini, Isala: ili a: fini huluane da sogega asili, eso biyadu amoga Yefeda (Gilia: de dunu) ea idiwi amo dawa: le, dinana.
