< Judges 11 >

1 Jephthah of Gilead was a strong fighter. He was the son of a prostitute, and his father was Gilead.
Hagi Jepta'a Giliati kumatera tusi'a hankavenentake ha' ne' mani'ne. Hianagi agra monko a'mofo mofavregino Giliati nemofo'e.
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.”
Hagi Gilieti nenaro'a rama'a ne' mofavrerami ante'ne. Hagi ana mofavreramimo'za rama nehu'za, Jeptankura amanage hu'naze, ru a'mofo mofavre mani'nanankinka nerafa zana erisanti oharegosane, nehu'za mopazmifintira ahegasopetre'naze.
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.
E'inama hazageno'a Jepta'a afu'aganahe'ina nezamatreno, freno Tobu kumate umani'ne. Ana kumate'ma unemanigeno'a hazenkema eri hakarema nehaza vahe'mo'za agrane eme tragote'za vano hu'naze.
4 Later on, the Ammonites were at war with Israel.
Hagi mago'a kna evutegeno Amoni vahe'mo'za Israeli vahera agafa hu'za hara huzmante'naze.
5 As the Ammonites were attacking Israel, the elders of Gilead came to get Jephthah from the land of Tob.
Hagi Amoni vahe'mo'zama Israeli vahe'ma ha'ma eme huzamantageno'a Giliati kumate ranra vahe'mo'za Jepta ome avrenaku Tobu kumate vu'za amanage ome hu'naze,
6 “Come and be our army commander,” they asked Jepthah, “so we can fight the Ammonites.”
kvati emani'negeta Amoni vahera hara huzamantamneno.
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?”
Hianagi ana ranra vahetmina Jepta'a amanage huno zamasami'ne, Tamagra nagrikura tamavresra higeta nenfa nompintira naheta navazuhu atre'naze. Hagi knazampima nemanita nahigeta nagrikura menina haketa neaze?
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.”
Anagema hige'za amanage hu'za kenona hunte'naze, Ama'na agafare tagra one. Menina tagri'ene vunka Amoni vahera hara ome huzamantenka Giliati kumate kva manigahane.
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.
Hagi Jepta'a amanage huno ana ranra vahera kenona huzamante'ne, Menima kumaniregama navreta vanage'na Amoni vahe'ma ha'ma ome huzamante'nugeno, Ra Anumzamo'ma nazama hinke'na, ana vahe'ma zamahe vagamarenu'na, tamagerfa hu'na nagra kvatimia manigahuo?
10 “The Lord will be a witness between us,” they replied. “We'll do whatever you say.”
Hige'za ana ranra vahe'mo'za amanage hu'za kenona hu'naze, ama'na kema rutrage zankura tagri'ene kagri'enena tamage huno amu'notifina Ra Anumzamo mani'neno keno antahino hurantesie.
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.
Hagi anante Jepta'a ana ranra vahe'ene vige'za Giliati vahe'mo'za kva azeri oti'naze. Anama hazageno'a Jepta'a ko'ma hu'nea nanekea Mispa kumate Ra Anumzamofo avuga ete mago'ene zamasami'ne.
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?”
Hagi anante Jepta'a Amoni kini ne'mofontega amanage huno antahige kea atrentege'za, ke eri'za vu vahe'mo'za amanage hu'za ome asami'naze, Nagafare nagri mopafi vahera hara eme renezmantane?
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.”
Hagi Jeptama atregenoma viankerera Amoni kini ne'mo'a amanage hu'ne, Israeli vahe'mo'zama Isipiti'ma ne-eza Arnonitima vuno Jaboki vuteno Jodanima uhanati'nea mopatia eme hanare'naze. E'ina hu'negu fruhuta ete ana mopatia tamiho.
14 Jephthah sent messengers back to the king of the Ammonites
Anagema higeno'a Jepta'a Amoni kini netega ete mago'ane kea atregeno kema erino vu' ne'mo'a ome asamino,
15 to tell him, “This is Jephthah's reply: The Israelites did not take any land from Moab or from the Ammonites.
Jepta'a amanage hu'ne, Israeli vahe'mo'a Moapu vahe mopane, Amoni vahe mopa kumazafa osene.
16 When they left Egypt, the Israelites went through the desert to the Red Sea and arrived at Kadesh.
Hianagi Isipiti'ma mareri'za ne-eza hagage mopafi vu'za korankre hagerinte vute'za, Kadesi kumatera ehanati'naze.
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.
Hagi anante Israeli vahe'mo'za Idomu kini netega amanage hu'za kea atrazageno vu'ne. Tatregeta mopaka'afi rugitagita vamaneno. Hianagi Idomu kini ne'mo'a kea ontahine. Hagi Moapu kini ne'mofona anahukna naneke atrentazageno vu'ne. Hianagi ana kini ne'mo'a kea ontahi'ne. Ana'ma hige'za Israeli vahe'mo'za anante Kadesia emani'naze.
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.
Hagi anantetira Israeli vahe'mo'za hagage mopafi ufre'za nevu'za Idomu mopane, Moapu mopanena rugagiza Moapu mopamofona zage hanati kaziga, Arnoni timofona kantu kaziga seli nona omeki'za mani'naze. Hianagi Moapu vahe mopafina uofre'naze. Na'ankure Arnoni tinte Moapu mopamofo atupamo'a eme atre'ne.
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.’
Hagi Amori kini ne' Sihoni'a, Hesboni kumateti neki'za, agritega amanage hu'za Israeli vahe'mo'za kea atrazageno vu'ne. Muse hugantonanki tatregeta mopaka'afina rugitagita mopatirega vamneno hu'za hu'naze.
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.
Hianagi Sihoni'a Israeli vahera antahinozamino zamatrege'za mopa'afina eovu'naze. Hianagi maka sondia vahe'a zamazeri atru huno Jahas kumate seli nona kino mani'neno, Israeli vahera hara huzamante'ne.
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.
Hianagi Ra Anumzana Israeli vahe Anumzamo'a Sihonine maka vahe'anena Israeli vahe zamazampi zmavrentegeno, ana mopafima mani'naza Amori vahera hara huzamagatere'za maka mopazamia eri'naze.
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.
Ana'ma hute'za Amoni vahe'mokizmi mopama eri'nazana, Arnoni tinteti'ma vuno noti kaziga Jaboku tinte uhanatiteno, ka'ma kokampinti vuno Jodani tinte'ma vu'nea mopa eri'naze.
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?
Hagi Ra Anumzana Israeli vahe Anumzamo'a Israeli vahe zamavuga Amori vahera zamahenati netreno mopazami hanareno Israeli vahe'mokizmi erizami'ne. Hagi kagra ama ana mopa eri'za nehano?
24 Why don't you keep whatever your god Chemosh gave you, and we'll keep whatever the Lord our God has given us?
Hagi tamagri havi anumza Kemosi'ma tamisia zantamina tamagra eriho. Hagi Ra Anumzana tagri Anumzamo'ma zamahe kasopenetreno erirami'nesia zana erigahune.
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?
Hagi kagra Sipori nemofo, Moapu kini ne' Baraki kna hunano? Hagi agra hafra huoranteno, hara huorantenefi?
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?
Hagi Hesboni kuma'ene ana tava'onte'ma megagi'nea ne'one kumatamine, Aroel kuma'ene, ana tava'onte'ma megagi'nea neonse kumatamine, Arnoni tinte'ma meno vu'nea kumatamimpinema Israeli vahe'mo'zama 300'a kafufima mani'nazana, nahigenka kora ana knafina ama ana mopa e'ori'nanane?
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.”
E'ina hu'negu nagra mago havizana huogante'noe. Hianagi kagra haviza hunka hara eme hunenantane. Kagra tamage nehampi, nagra nehufi Ra Anumzamoke refko'a hurantegahie.
28 But the king of Ammon didn't pay any attention to what Jephthah had to say.
Hianagi Amoni kini ne'mo'a Jepta'ma huzmantege'zama vaza vahe'mokizmi nanekea ontahi'ne.
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.
Ana'ma higeno'a Ra Anumzamofo Avamu'mo'a Jeptante egeno Jepta'a sondia vahe'a nezmavreno Giliati mopafine Manase mopafine Giliati kaziga Mispa kumate uhanatiteno, Mispatira Amoni kumate vuno Amoni vahera hara huzmante'naku vu'ne.
30 Jephthah made a solemn promise to the Lord, saying, “If you make me victorious over the Ammonites,
Hagi Jepta'a Ra Anumzamofona amanage huno huvempa hunte'ne, Amoni vahe'ma kagrama nazampima zamavarente'nanke'na zamahe hnama hute'na,
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.”
hazenkema e'ori'na narimpa frunema ete kumate'ma vanugeno'ma nonifinti'ma mago zagamo'ma ese'ma atiramino'ma eme tutagihama hunante'nia zaga, e'i Ra Anumzamoka suza megahianki'na, ahe'na kre fanane hu ofa kagritega hugahue.
32 Jephthah advanced to attack the Ammonites, and the Lord gave him the victory over them.
Anagema huteno'a Jepta'a sondia vahe'a nezmavreno tina takaheno Amoni vahe'ene hara ome higeno, Ra Anumzamo'a aza higeno Amoni vahera hara huzamagatere'ne.
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.
Hagi 20'a kuma'ma ha'ma hunte'neana, Aroeri kumateti agafa huno vuno Miniti kumate vuteno, Abel-keramimi kumate'ma mani'zama vu'naza Amori vahera rama'a nezamaheno kuma'ziminena erihaviza hu'ne.
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.
Hagi Jepta'ma kuma'are'ma Mispama egeno'a, mofa'amo'a tamborini neheno zagamera huno avoa reno amarara hu'ne. E'ina mofara magoke ante'nea mofakino, rua mago nero mofaro onte'ne.
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.”
Hagi Jepta'ma mofa'ama negeno'a kukena'a tagato nehuno, tusi krafa huno amanage hu'ne, Mofanimoka tusi'a hazenke erinaminkeno tumonimo'a atane. Na'ankure Ra Anumzamofonte'ma huvempama hu'noa kea eriotregosue.
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.”
Anagema higeno'a Jepta mofamo'a amanage hu'ne, Nenfaga, Ra Anumzamofoma kagi'ma reakama hunka asami'nana kante antenka nagritera anazana huo. Na'ankure Ra Anumzamo'a kaza higenka ha' vaheka'a Amoni vahera zamahe vagare'nane.
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.”
Hianagi ese'zana natrege'na tare ikampina agonarega mofane zagane vano nehu'na, vema e'ori'na frisua zankura nasunkura nehu'na zavira ata'neno.
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.
Anagema mofa'amo'ma higeno'a Jepta'a vuo huno huntegeno, mofane zagane agonarega marerino vema e'ori'neno frisia zankura tare ikampi asunkura huno zavira ate'ne.
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
Hagi tare ikama evigeno'a ana mofamo'a nefante egeno nefa'a Ra Anumzamofoma huvempa hunte'neaza hu'ne. Ana mofamo'a vea e'ori'neno fri'neankino anazamo'a, Israeli vahepina mago zamavu'zamava me'neanki'za,
40 that every year the young women of Israel leave for four days to weep in commemoration of the daughter of Jephthah the Gileadite.
kafune kafunena ana knama ege'za Israeli mofa'nemo'za agonarega mareri'za 4'a zagegnafi Giliati ne' Jepta mofakura zavira ometetere nehaze.
