Judges 11
1 Then Gilead begate Iphtah, and Iphtah the Gileadite was a valiant man, but the sonne of an harlot.
Giladi Jephthah khaw tatthai hlangrhalh la om tih anih te pumyoi nu kah a ca ni. Jephthah he Gilead loh a sak.
2 And Gileads wife bare him sonnes, and when the womans children were come to age, they thrust out Iphtah, and sayd vnto him, Thou shalt not inherite in our fathers house: for thou art the sonne of a strange woman.
Gilead te a yuu loh a ca tongpa rhoek a sak pah dae a yuu kah a ca la rhoeng uh hang. Te dongah Jephthah te a haek uh tih, “Nang he manu a tloe ca la na om dongah a pa im khuikah he na pang mahpawh,” a ti nauh.
3 Then Iphtah fledde from his brethren, and dwelt in the land of Tob: and there gathered idle fellowes to Iphtah, and went out with him.
Te dongah Jephthah loh a manuca rhoek kah mikhmuh lamloh yong tih Tob khohmuen ah kho a sak. Te vaengah hlang hoeng rhoek loh Jephthah taengah poep uh tih anih taengah pongpa uh.
4 And in processe of time the children of Ammon made warre with Israel.
Te dongah khohnin a pha lamkah long tah Ammon ca rhoek loh Israel te a vathoh thil uh.
5 And when the children of Ammon fought with Israel, the Elders of Gilead went to fet Iphtah out of the land of Tob.
Ammon ca rhoek loh Israel a vathoh thil vaengah tah Gilead kah a hamca rhoek te Tob kho lamkah Jephthah te loh hamla cet uh.
6 And they saide vnto Iphtah, Come and be our captaine, that we may fight with the children of Ammon.
Te vaengah Jephthah te, “Halo lamtah kaimih taengah rhalboei la om laeh, te daengah ni Ammon ca rhoek te m'vathoh thil thai pueng eh,” a ti uh.
7 Iphtah then answered the Elders of Gilead, Did not ye hate me, and expell me out of my fathers house? how then come you vnto me now in time of your tribulation?
Tedae Gilead kah a hamca rhoek te Jephthah loh, “Nangmih moenih a? Kai nan hmuhuet uh tih a pa im lamkah kai na haek uh te. Tahae ah nang taengkah puen na cak vaengah tah kai taengla balae nan loh uh,” a ti nah.
8 Then the Elders of Gilead saide vnto Iphtah, Therefore we turne againe to thee now, that thou mayest goe with vs, and fight against the children of Ammon, and bee our head ouer all the inhabitants of Gilead.
Tedae Gilead kah a hamca rhoek loh Jephthah te, “Te cakhaw nang taengla ka mael uh coeng dongah kaimih taengah pongpa lamtah Ammon ca rhoek vathoh thil laeh. Te phoeiah Gilead khosa boeih soah kaimih kah a lu la na om mako,” a ti nauh.
9 And Iphtah said vnto the Elders of Gilead, If ye bring me home againe to fight against the children of Ammon, if the Lord giue them before me, shall I be your head?
Te dongah Gilead kah a hamca rhoek te Jephthah loh, “Ammon ca rhoek vathoh thil ham kai taengla na mael uh coeng tih amih te ni BOEIPA loh kai mikhmuh ah m'paek mak atah kai khaw nangmih taengah a lu la ka om bitni,” a ti nah.
10 And the Elders of Gilead saide to Iphtah, The Lord be witnesse betweene vs, if we doe not according to thy wordes.
Tedae Jephthah taengah Gilead kah a hamca rhoek loh, “Na ol bangla ka saii uh pawt atah ol aka ya la mamih laklo ah BOEIPA om ta,” a ti uh.
11 Then Iphtah went with the Elders of Gilead, and the people made him head and captaine ouer them: and Iphtah rehearsed all his wordes before the Lord in Mizpeh.
Te daengah Jephthah loh Gilead kah a hamca rhoek neh cet hmaih tih anih te amamih sokah a lu lam khaw, rhalboei lam khaw pilnam loh a khueh. Te dongah Mizpah kah BOEIPA mikhmuh ah Jephthah loh a ol te boeih a thui.
12 Then Iphtah sent messengers vnto the king of the children of Ammon, saying, What hast thou to doe with me, that thou art come against me, to fight in my lande?
Jephthah loh Ammon ca rhoek kah manghai taengah puencawn a tueih tih, “Kai neh nangmih balae benbo benpang tih ka khohmuen vathoh thil ham kai taengla na pawk uh,” a ti nah.
13 And the King of the children of Ammon answered vnto the messengers of Iphtah, Because Israel tooke my lande, when they came vp from Egypt, from Arnon vnto Iabbok, and vnto Iorden: now therefore restore those lands quietly.
Jephthah kah puencawn rhoek taengah Ammon ca rhoek kah manghai loh, “Egypt lamkah, Arnon lamkah halo vaengah ka khohmuen he Israel loh Jabbok neh Jordan duela a loh. Te dongah te te rhoepnah neh ham bal laeh saeh,” a ti nah.
14 Yet Iphtah sent messengers againe vnto the King of the children of Ammon,
Tedae Jephthah loh koep a khoep tih Ammon ca rhoek kah manghai taengah puencawn a tueih.
15 And said vnto him, Thus saith Iphtah, Israel tooke not the lande of Moab, nor the lande of the children of Ammon.
Te vaengah anih te Jephthah loh a uen tih, “Moab khohmuen neh Ammon ca rhoek kah khohmuen te Israel loh a loh moenih.
16 But when Israel came vp from Egypt, and walked through the wildernesse vnto the redde Sea, then they came to Kadesh.
Egypt lamkah halo vaengah Israel he khosoek longah carhaek li la cet tih Kadesh la pawk.
17 And Israel sent messengers vnto the king of Edom, saying, Let me, I pray thee, goe thorowe thy lande: but the King of Edom woulde not consent: and also they sent vnto the King of Moab, but he would not: therefore Israel abode in Kadesh.
Te dongah Israel loh Edom manghai taengah puencawn a tueih tih, 'Na khohmuen ah ng'kat sak mai,’ a ti nah. Tedae Edom manghai loh a hnatun pawt dongah Moab manghai taengah khaw a tueih dae a huem pah pawt dongah Israel tah Kadesh ah kho a sak.
18 Then they went through the wildernesse, and compassed the lande of Edom, and the lande of Moab, and came by the Eastside of the lande of Moab, and pitched on the other side of Arnon, and came not within the coast of Moab: for Arnon was the border of Moab.
Te dongah khosoek long cet tih Edom kho neh Moab kho te a hil daengah Moab kho kah khocuk la pawk. Arnon rhalvang ah rhaeh uh coeng dae Moab khorhi te Arnon la a om coeng dongah Moab khorhi ah kun uh voelpawh.
19 Also Israel sent messengers vnto Sihon, King of the Amorites, the King of Heshbon, and Israel said vnto him, Let vs passe, we pray thee, by thy lande vnto our place.
Te phoeiah Israel loh Amori manghai neh Heshbon manghai Sihon taengah khaw puencawn rhoek te a tueih tih anih te Israel loh, “Nang khohmuen longah kamah hmuen te ka paan mai eh?,” a ti nah.
20 But Sihon consented not to Israel, that he shoulde goe through his coast: but Sihon gathered all his people together, and pitched in Iahaz, and fought with Israel.
Tedae Israel loh a khorhi longah a kat ham te Sihon loh a tangnah pawt dongah Sihon loh a pilnam te boeih a hueh. Te phoeiah Jahaz ah rhaeh uh tih Israel te a vathoh thil.
21 And the Lord God of Israel gaue Sihon and all his folke into the handes of Israel, and they smote them: so Israel possessed all the lande of the Amorites, the inhabitants of that countrey:
Te vaengah Israel Pathen, BOEIPA loh Sihon neh a pilnam boeih te Israel kut ah a paek. Te dongah amih te Israel loh a tloek tih Amori khohmuen neh khohmuen kah khosa hlang te boeih a pang.
22 And they possessed all the coast of the Amorites, from Arnon vnto Iabbok, and from the wildernesse euen vnto Iorden.
Te dongah Amori khorhi te Arnon lamloh Jabbok due, khosoek lamloh Jordan duela boeih a pang uh.
23 Nowe therefore the Lord God of Israel hath cast out the Amorites before his people Israel, and shouldest thou possesse it?
Israel Pathen BOEIPA loh a pilnam Israel mikhmuh ah Amori a haek coeng dongah anih te nang loh na haek aya?
24 Wouldest not thou possesse that which Chemosh thy god giueth thee to possesse? So whomesoeuer the Lord our God driueth out before vs, them will we possesse.
Na pathen Khemosh loh nang m'pang sak te na pang mahpawt a? BOEIPA ka Pathen loh kaimih mikhmuh ah m'paek boeih te tah ka pang uh van ni ta.
25 And art thou nowe farre better then Balak the sonne of Zippor King of Moab? did he not striue with Israel and fight against them,
Nang tah Moab manghai Zippor capa Balak lakah na hoeikhang khaw na hoeikhang coeng a? Israel te na ho na ho tih vathoh khaw na vathoh thil.
26 When Israel dwelt in Heshbon and in her townes, and in Aroer and in her townes, and in all the cities that are by the coastes of Arnon, three hundreth yeeres? why did ye not then recouer them in that space?
Israel loh Heshbon neh a khobuel ah khaw, Aroer neh a khobuel ah khaw, Arnon tuikaeng kah khopuei boeih ah khaw, kum ya thum kho ana sak uh coeng. Te vaeng tue ah balae tih na lat uh pawh?
27 Wherefore, I haue not offended thee: but thou doest me wrong to warre against me. The Lord the Iudge be iudge this day betweene the children of Israel, and the children of Ammon.
Te dongah kai he nang taengah ka tholh moenih. Nang long ni kai vathoh thil ham kai taengah boethae na saii. Laitloek tue vaengah tah Israel ca rhoek laklo neh Ammon ca rhoek laklo ah BOEIPA loh laitloek nawn saeh,” a ti nah.
28 Howbeit the King of the children of Ammon hearkened not vnto the wordes of Iphtah, which he had sent him.
Tedae Jephthah loh a taengla a tah olka te Ammon ca rhoek kah manghai loh hnatun pawh.
29 Then the Spirite of the Lord came vpon Iphtah, and he passed ouer to Gilead and to Manasseh, and came to Mizpeh in Gilead, and from Mizpeh in Gilead he went vnto the children of Ammon.
Te vaengah BOEIPA Mueihla te Jephthah dongah om. Te dongah Gilead neh Manasseh te a poeng tih Gilead Mizpeh a poeng. Gilead Mizpeh lamloh Ammon ca rhoek pataeng a khal bal pueng.
30 And Iphtah vowed a vowe vnto the Lord, and said, If thou shalt deliuer the children of Ammon into mine handes,
Te dongah Jephthah loh BOEIPA taengah olcaeng neh a caeng tih, “Ammon ca rhoek te ka kut ah nan paek la nan paek atah,
31 Then that thing that commeth out of the doores of mine house to meete me, when I come home in peace from the children of Ammon, shall be the Lordes, and I will offer it for a burnt offering.
Ammon ca rhoek taeng lamloh sading la ka bal vaengah kai doe ham ka im thohkhaih lamkah ha moe tih aka pawk te BOEIPA ham om saeh lamtah hmueihhlutnah la ka tloeng eh?,” a ti nah.
32 And so Iphtah went vnto the children of Ammon to fight against them, and the Lord deliuered them into his handes.
Te dongah Ammon ca rhoek te vathoh thil ham Jephthah a caeh vaengah Ammon te BOEIPA loh Jephthah kut ah a paek.
33 And he smote them from Aroer euen till thou come to Minnith, twentie cities, and so foorth to Abel of the vineyardes, with an exceeding great slaughter. Thus the children of Ammon were humbled before the children of Israel.
Te dongah Aroer lamloh Minnith na kun phai kah khopuei pakul neh Abelkeramim duela a tloek. Te dongah Ammon ca rhoek te Israel ca rhoek kah mikhmuh ah hmasoe len neh muep kunyun uh.
34 Nowe when Iphtah came to Mizpeh vnto his house, beholde, his daughter came out to meete him with timbrels and daunces, which was his onely childe: he had none other sonne, nor daughter.
Jephthah te Mizpah kah amah im la a mael vaengah anih doe ham a canu mai loh kamrhing neh lamnah neh tarha ha thoeng pah. Anih bueng oingaih cangloeng tih a ca tongpa huta khaw a taengah om pawh.
35 And when hee sawe her, hee rent his clothes, and saide, Alas my daughter, thou hast brought me lowe, and art of them that trouble me: for I haue opened my mouth vnto the Lord, and can not goe backe.
A hmuh vaengah a himbai te a phen tih, “Ya-oe, ka canu, nang loh kai nan det nan det tih nang ngawn tah kai lawn lam ni na om coeng. Tedae kai loh BOEIPA taengah ka ka ka ang coeng dongah hnukpoh ham tah ka coeng voel moenih,” a ti nah.
36 And she said vnto him, My father, if thou hast opened thy mouth vnto the Lord, doe with me as thou hast promised, seeing that the Lord hath auenged thee of thine enemies the children of Ammon.
Tedae anih te, “A pa, BOEIPA taengah na ka na ang atah na ka lamkah aka thoeng bangla kai taengah saii mai. Na thunkha so, Ammon ca rhoek soah tawnlohnah khaw BOEIPA loh nang ham a saii coeng,” a ti nah.
37 Also she saide vnto her father, Doe thus much for me: suffer me two moneths, that I may goe to the mountaines, and bewaile my virginitie, I and my fellowes.
Te phoeiah a napa te, “He ol he kai ham hang rhoi mai. Hla nit khuiah a hoenghoep ah ka pongpa dae eh, tlang ah ka dong si lamtah ka cuemnah he kamah neh ka tanu rhoek loh ka rhah uh dae eh,” a ti nah.
38 And he sayde, Goe: and he sent her away two moneths: so she went with her companions, and lamented her virginitie vpon the moutaines.
“Cet,” a ti nah tih hla nit khuiah a tueih. Te dongah a canu te a tanu rhoek neh cet uh tih a cuemnah tlang ah a rhah thil.
39 And after the ende of two moneths, she turned againe vnto her father, who did with her according to his vowe which he had vowed, and she had knowen no man. and it was a custome in Israel:
Hla nit a thok vaengah a napa taengla bal tih a olcaeng neh a caeng tangtae te a canu taengah a saii pah. Te dongah anih loh tongpa a ming pawt te Israel khuiah oltlueh pakhat la a om pah.
40 The daughters of Israel went yere by yere to lament the daughter of Iphtah the Gileadite, foure dayes in a yeere.
Te khohnin lamlong tah Israel nu rhoek te kum khat ah cet uh tih hnin li khui Giladi Jephthah canu te a thoelh uh.
