Judges 11
1 Now Jephthah the Gileadite was a mighty man of valor, and he was the son of an harlot: and Gilead begat Jephthah.
Gilead tami Jephthah teh a thakaawmpounge ni teh tarankahawi poung e a tho, Gilead ni Jephthah a khe. A manu teh kâyawt e doeh.
2 And Gilead’s wife bore him sons; and his wife’s sons grew up, and they thrust out Jephthah, and said to him, You shall not inherit in our father’s house; for you are the son of a strange woman.
Gilead yu ni a khe pouh e a capanaw a lungha toteh, Jephthah teh a hrek awh. Kaimouh koe awm hanh lawih, apa e râw cungtalah na pang pawm mahoeh.
3 Then Jephthah fled from his brothers, and dwelled in the land of Tob: and there were gathered vain men to Jephthah, and went out with him.
Jephthah teh a hmaunaw koehoi a yawng teh, Tob ram dawk kho a sak. Jephthah koe ka cungkeihoehe naw a kamkhueng awh teh a kâbang awh.
4 And it came to pass in process of time, that the children of Ammon made war against Israel.
Ammonnaw ni Isarelnaw a tuk hnukkhu hoi atueng sitca dawk hettelah ao.
5 And it was so, that when the children of Ammon made war against Israel, the elders of Gilead went to fetch Jephthah out of the land of Tob:
Ammonnaw ni Isarel a tuk awh toteh, Gilead e a lungkahanaw ni Tob ram hoi Jephthah la hanlah a cei awh.
6 And they said to Jephthah, Come, and be our captain, that we may fight with the children of Ammon.
Hottelah Jephthah koevah, Ammonnaw tuk thai nahanlah tho leih, ransabawi lah na awm pou leih atipouh awh.
7 And Jephthah said to the elders of Gilead, Did not you hate me, and expel me out of my father’s house? and why are you come to me now when you are in distress?
Jephthah ni Gilead e kacuenaw koe na hmuhma awh teh, apa im hoi na pâlei awh nahoehmaw. Bangkongmaw atu na ngaikhawk torei teh kai koe bout na tho awh telah atipouh.
8 And the elders of Gilead said to Jephthah, Therefore we turn again to you now, that you may go with us, and fight against the children of Ammon, and be our head over all the inhabitants of Gilead.
Gilead e kacuenaw ni Jephthah koevah, hete kecu dawk nahoehmaw Ammonnaw tuk hanelah nang koelah bout ka kamlang awh vaw. Hahoi Gilead kaawmnaw pueng lathueng vah a lû lah awm loe atipouh awh.
9 And Jephthah said to the elders of Gilead, If you bring me home again to fight against the children of Ammon, and the LORD deliver them before me, shall I be your head?
Jephthah ni Gilead e kacuenaw koe, Ammonnaw tuk hanelah im bout na bankhai awh teh, BAWIPA ni ahnimanaw koe, koe na poe pawiteh kahrawikung lah kaawm katang han vaimoe telah atipouh.
10 And the elders of Gilead said to Jephthah, The LORD be witness between us, if we do not so according to your words.
Gilead e kacuenaw ni, na lawk patetlah lah ka sak awh hoehpawiteh, BAWIPA ni mamouh rahak vah kapanuekkhaikung lah awm seh atipouh awh.
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 the LORD in Mizpeh.
Hahoi, Jephthah ni Gilead e kacuenaw koe a cei teh, lû hoi ransabawi lah a coung. Mizpah kho vah, Jephthah ni BAWIPA hmalah hote lawknaw pueng hah a dei.
12 And Jephthah sent messengers to the king of the children of Ammon, saying, What have you to do with me, that you are come against me to fight in my land?
Jephthah ni Ammonnaw e siangpahrang koevah, kai na tarankhai hanelah bangmaw kaawm. Kai tuk hanelah ka ram dawk na tho awh, telah patounenaw a patoun.
13 And the king of the children of Ammon answered to the messengers of Jephthah, Because Israel took away my land, when they came up out of Egypt, from Arnon even to Jabbok, and to Jordan: now therefore restore those lands again peaceably.
Ammonnaw e siangpahrang ni, Isarelnaw Izip ram hoi a tâco navah, ka ram hah Arnon hoi Jabbok hoi Jordan totouh na la awh kecu dawkvah, hote ramnaw hah pâdingsuelah duem na poe leih, telah Jephthah e patounenaw koe a dei pouh awh.
14 And Jephthah sent messengers again to the king of the children of Ammon:
Jephthah ni Ammonnaw e siangpahrang koe patounenaw bout a patoun.
15 And said to him, Thus says Jephthah, Israel took not away the land of Moab, nor the land of the children of Ammon:
Ahni koe Jephthah ni hettelah a dei pouh. Isarelnaw ni Moab ram na lat pouh hoeh. Ammonnaw e ram hai bout lat hoeh.
16 But when Israel came up from Egypt, and walked through the wilderness to the Red sea, and came to Kadesh;
Bangkongtetpawiteh, Izip ram hoi a tâco navah, kahrawngkadi pueng dawkvah, tuipui paling totouh paloupalou a cei awh teh Kadesh a pha awh.
17 Then Israel sent messengers to the king of Edom, saying, Let me, I pray you, pass through your land: but the king of Edom would not listen thereto. And in like manner they sent to the king of Moab: but he would not consent: and Israel stayed in Kadesh.
Hahoi teh Isarel ni Edom siangpahrang koevah, pahren lahoi na ram dawk kai pou na cetsak lah titeh patounenaw a patoun. Hatei, Edom siangpahrang ni a hnâ bawt pouh hoeh. Moab siangpahrang koe laicei bout a patoun haiyah, ceinae kâ poe hoeh. Hahoi Isarelnaw teh Kadesh vah sut ao awh.
18 Then they went along through the wilderness, and compassed the land of Edom, and the land of Moab, and came by the east side of the land of Moab, and pitched on the other side of Arnon, but came not within the border of Moab: for Arnon was the border of Moab.
Ramke koelah pou a cei awh teh, Edom hoi Moab hah a roun awh. Moab ram kanîtho lahoi a cei awh teh, Arnon namran lah a roe awh. Moab ram thung dawk roeroe kâen awh hoeh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, Arnon palang teh Moab ramri doeh.
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 you, through your land into my place.
Hahoi Isarelnaw ni Amor siangpahrang Sihon, Heshbon siangpahrang koe patounenaw a patoun. Isarelnaw ni ahnimouh koe kamamae hmuen koe ka pâtam navah pahren lahoi na ram dawk pou ka cei awh han atipouh.
20 But Sihon trusted not Israel to pass through his coast: but Sihon gathered all his people together, and pitched in Jahaz, and fought against Israel.
Hatei, Sihon ni Isarelnaw ni a ram dawk a raka hane a yuem hoeh dawkvah, a taminaw pueng a pâkhueng teh Jahaz kho king a kalup awh teh, Isarelnaw hah a tuk awh.
21 And the LORD God of Israel delivered Sihon and all his people into the hand of Israel, and they smote them: so Israel possessed all the land of the Amorites, the inhabitants of that country.
BAWIPA Isarel Cathut ni Sihon siangpahrang hoi a taminaw pueng hah Isarel kut dawk a poe teh, he a thei awh. Hahoi Isarelnaw ni hote Amornaw onae ram teh koung a pang awh.
22 And they possessed all the coasts of the Amorites, from Arnon even to Jabbok, and from the wilderness even to Jordan.
Hahoi Amornaw e khori thung dawk Amor palang koehoi Jabbok palang totouh, ramke hoi Jordan palang totouh a pang awh.
23 So now the LORD God of Israel has dispossessed the Amorites from before his people Israel, and should you possess it?
Hottelah Isarel BAWIPA Cathut ni, a tami Isarelnaw hmalah Amornaw ram hah a lawp pouh. Telah pawiteh, nang ni a ram na lawp han toung.
24 Will not you possess that which Chemosh your god gives you to possess? So whomsoever the LORD our God shall drive out from before us, them will we possess.
Na cathut Kemosh ni na ham lah na poe e pueng teh na pang hane nahoehmaw. Hottelah, BAWIPA Cathut ni, kaimouh ka hmalae a lawp e pueng teh ka pang han bokhei.
25 And now are you any thing better than Balak the son of Zippor, king of Moab? did he ever strive against Israel, or did he ever fight against them,
Moab siangpahrang Zippor capa Balak hlak na hawi maw. Ahni ni Isarel a taran teh, runae a poe boimaw. Ahni ni Isarel a tuk boimaw.
26 While Israel dwelled in Heshbon and her towns, and in Aroer and her towns, and in all the cities that be along by the coasts of Arnon, three hundred years? why therefore did you not recover them within that time?
Isarel hah Heshbon hoi a khonaw, Aroer hoi a khonaw, Ammon khori khopuinaw pueng koe kum 300 totouh kho a sak awh navah, bangkongmaw tuk laipalah na o awh vaw.
27 Why I have not sinned against you, but you do me wrong to war against me: the LORD the Judge be judge this day between the children of Israel and the children of Ammon.
Hatdawkvah, nangmouh koe bang yonnae ca boehai ka sak awh hoeh. Nangmouh ni tuk han na ngai dawkvah, kaimouh tak dawk yonnae na sak awh. BAWIPA lawkcengkung ni atuvah, Isarelnaw hoi Ammonnaw rahak vah, lawkceng na lawiseh, atipouh.
28 However, the king of the children of Ammon listened not to the words of Jephthah which he sent him.
Hatei, Jephthah ni lawk a thui e hah Ammon siangpahrang ni ngai pouh hoeh.
29 Then the Spirit of the LORD came on Jephthah, and he passed over Gilead, and Manasseh, and passed over Mizpeh of Gilead, and from Mizpeh of Gilead he passed over to the children of Ammon.
Hahoi teh, BAWIPA e Muitha Jephthah tak dawk a pha teh Gilead hoi Manasseh ram hah a rakan teh, Gilead ram Mizpah vah pou a cei awh. Hahoi Gilead hoi Mizpah hoi Ammonnaw koe pou a cei awh.
30 And Jephthah vowed a vow to the LORD, and said, If you shall without fail deliver the children of Ammon into my hands,
Jephthah ni BAWIPA koe lawk a kam teh, Ammonnaw heh ka kut dawk na poe katang pawiteh,
31 Then it shall be, that whatever comes forth of the doors of my house to meet me, when I return in peace from the children of Ammon, shall surely be the LORD’s, and I will offer it up for a burnt offering.
hettelah ao han. Ammonnaw koehoi hnâroumcalah ka ban pawiteh, ka im takhang koehoi hmaloe na ka dawn e pueng teh, BAWIPA nange lah ao han. Hmaisawi thuengnae koe ka hno han telah a ti.
32 So Jephthah passed over to the children of Ammon to fight against them; and the LORD delivered them into his hands.
Hahoi teh, Jephthah teh Ammonnaw tuk hanlah a kamthaw teh, BAWIPA ni ahnimouh teh a kut dawk a poe.
33 And he smote them from Aroer, even till you come to Minnith, even twenty cities, and to the plain of the vineyards, with a very great slaughter. Thus the children of Ammon were subdued before the children of Israel.
Aroer hoi Minnith totouh khopui 20 touh a tâ. Abelkeramim vah kâtheikârawngnae kalenpoung ao. Hot patetlah, Ammonnaw teh Isarelnaw hmalah a sung awh.
34 And Jephthah came to Mizpeh to his house, and, behold, his daughter came out to meet him with tambourines and with dances: and she was his only child; beside her he had neither son nor daughter.
Jephthah teh a onae im Mizpah a pha toteh, hawvah a canu ni cecak khawng hoi lam laihoi a dawn hanelah a tho. A canu a tawn e dueng doeh, alouke pihai awm hoeh.
35 And it came to pass, when he saw her, that he rent his clothes, and said, Alas, my daughter! you have brought me very low, and you are one of them that trouble me: for I have opened my mouth to the LORD, and I cannot go back.
Oe hahoi teh hettelah doeh. A canu lawn a hmu toteh, ahni a ravei teh, Oe ka canu rahim doeh na pabo toe, nang teh kai runae na kapoekung lah na o toe. Bangkongtetpawiteh, BAWIPA koe ka pahni yo ka ang toe. Hote hah bout ka hno thai mahoeh toe, telah a ti.
36 And she said to him, My father, if you have opened your mouth to the LORD, do to me according to that which has proceeded out of your mouth; for as much as the LORD has taken vengeance for you of your enemies, even of the children of Ammon.
Napui ni a na pa koe, apa BAWIPA koe na pahni yo na ang boum teh na kâko hoi ka tâcawt e na lawk patetlah kai ka tak dawk sak yawkaw. Bangkongtetpawiteh, BAWIPA ni na taran Ammonnaw hah na lungkuep nahan na tâ sak toe.
37 And she said to her father, Let this thing be done for me: let me alone two months, that I may go up and down on the mountains, and mourn my virginity, I and my fellows.
Hahoi teh a na pa koevah telah ka sak vai, thapa yung hni touh thung, kamadueng vaiteh, mon dawkvah, tanglakacuem lah ka onae, ka huinaw hoi ka khuikapkhai eivai, atipouh.
38 And he said, Go. And he sent her away for two months: and she went with her companions, and bewailed her virginity on the mountains.
Ahni ni cet awh yawkaw atipouh. Hateh thapa yung hni touh o hanelah a kamthaw. A cei awh teh, ama hoi a huinaw hoi mon dawk tanglakacuem lah onae a khui awh.
39 And it came to pass at the end of two months, that she returned to her father, who did with her according to his vow which he had vowed: and she knew no man. And it was a custom in Israel,
Hahoi thapa yung hni touh ao hnukkhu, a na pa koe bout a tho teh, ahni ni lawk a kam e patetlah a tak dawk a sak teh, tongpa panuek hoeh toe.
40 That the daughters of Israel went yearly to lament the daughter of Jephthah the Gileadite four days in a year.
Hahoi Isarelnaw thung dawkvah, Isarel canunaw ni Gilead tami Jephthah canu teh kumtangkuem hnin pali touh thung lungmathoe khuikanae lah pou a hno pouh awh. Hothateh, Isarelnaw e phung doeh.
