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.
Ary Jefta Gileadita dia lehilahy mahery sy zanaky ny vehivavy janga; ary Gileada no rainy niteraka azy.
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.
Ary ny vadin’ i Gileada dia niteraka zazalahy maro taminy; ary nony efa lehibe ireo zana-badiny ireo, dia nandroaka an’ i Jefta ka nanao taminy hoe: Tsy handova eto amin’ ny taranaky ny rainay ianao, fa zanaky ny vehivavy hafa.
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.
Ary Jefta nandositra ny rahalahiny ka nonina tany amin’ ny tany Toba; dia nisy olom-poana nivory teo amin’ i Jefta ka niaraka taminy.
4 And it came to pass in process of time, that the children of Ammon made war against Israel.
Ary nony ela, dia nanafika ny Zanak’ Isiraely ny taranak’ i Amona.
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:
Ary rehefa nanafika ny Isiraely ny taranak’ i Amona, dia nandeha ny loholon’ i Gileada haka an’ i Jefta hiala any amin’ ny tany Toba.
6 And they said to Jephthah, Come, and be our captain, that we may fight with the children of Ammon.
Ary hoy izy ireo taminy: Avia ho mpitarika anay ianao, hiadiantsika amin’ ny taranak’ i Amona.
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?
Fa hoy Jefta tamin’ ny loholon’ i Gileada: Tsy efa nankahala ahy va ianareo ka nandroaka ahy hiala tao an-tranon’ ny raiko? Koa nahoana no mankaty amiko indray ianareo ankehitriny, nony azom-pahoriana?
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.
Dia hoy ny loholon’ i Gileada tamin’ i Jefta: Izany no iverenanay atỳ aminao ankehitriny, mba handehananao miaraka aminay, sy hiadianao amin’ ny taranak’ i Amona, ka dia ho lohany aminay mponina rehetra any Gileada ianao.
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?
Dia hoy Jefta tamin’ ny loholon’ i Gileada: Raha ho entinareo mody indray aho mba hiady amin’ ny taranak’ i Amona, ka hatolotr’ i Jehovah eo anoloako ireny, dia izaho hoe no ho lohany aminareo?
10 And the elders of Gilead said to Jephthah, The LORD be witness between us, if we do not so according to your words.
Dia hoy ny loholon’ i Gileada tamin’ i Jefta: Jehovah no ho vavolombelona amintsika, raha tsy hataonay araka izany teninao izany.
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.
Dia nandeha Jefta niaraka tamin’ ny loholon’ i Gileada, ka dia nasandratry ny vahoaka ho lohany sy ho mpitarika azy izy; ary Jefta nilaza ny teniny rehetra teo anatrehan’ i Jehovah tao Mizpa.
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?
Dia naniraka olona Jefta nankamin’ ny mpanjakan’ ny taranak’ i Amona hanao hoe: Moa mifaninona akory izaho sy ianao, no tonga atỳ amiko hiady amin’ ny taniko ianao?
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.
Dia hoy ny mpanjakan’ ny taranak’ i Amona tamin’ ny irak’ i Jefta: Satria nalain’ ny Isiraely ny taniko hatrany Arnona ka hatrany Jaboka ary hatrany Jordana, fony niakatra avy tany Egypta izy; koa avereno amin’ ny fihavanana ary izany ankehitriny.
14 And Jephthah sent messengers again to the king of the children of Ammon:
Ary Jefta naniraka olona indray nankany amin’ ny mpanakan’ ny taranak’ i Amona
15 And said to him, Thus says Jephthah, Israel took not away the land of Moab, nor the land of the children of Ammon:
ka nanao taminy hoe: Izao no lazain’ i Jefta: Ny Isiraely tsy naka ny tanin’ i Moaba na ny tanin’ ny taranak’ i Amona.
16 But when Israel came up from Egypt, and walked through the wilderness to the Red sea, and came to Kadesh;
Fa fony niakatra avy tany Egypta ny Isiraely, dia nandeha nitety ny efitra hatramin’ ny Ranomasina Mena izy ka tonga tany Kadesy.
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.
Dia naniraka olona ny Isiraely nankany amin’ ny mpanjakan’ i Edoma ka nanao hoe: Aoka mba handeha hamaky ny taninao aho; fa tsy nety nihaino izany ny mpanjakan’ i Edoma. Ary naniraka tany amin’ ny mpanjakan’ i Moaba koa izy; fa tsy nety koa izy; dia nitoetra tany Kadesy ny Isiraely.
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.
Dia nandeha nitety ny efitra izy ka nanodidina ny tany Edoma sy ny tany Moaba, dia tonga teo atsinanan’ i Moaba, ka nitoby teo an-dafin’ i Arnona, fa tsy niditra teo anatin’ ny faritanin’ i Moaba; fa Arnona no fari-tanin’ i Moaba.
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.
Ary ny Isiraely dia naniraka olona tany amin’ i Sihona, mpanjakan’ ny Amorita, izay mpanjakan’ i Hesbona; ary hoy ny Isiraely taminy: Aoka mba handeha hamaky ny taninao izahay hankany amin’ ny fonenanay.
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.
Fa Sihona tsy natoky ny Isiraely hamaky ny fari-taniny, fa namory ny vahoakany rehetra izy, dia nitoby tany Jahaza ka niady tamin’ ny Isiraely.
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.
Ary Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely, nanolotra an’ i Sihona sy ny vahoakany rehetra teo an-tànan’ ny Isiraely, ka namely azy ireo; dia azon’ ny Isiraely ny tanin’ ny Amorita rehetra, mponina tany amin’ izany tany izany.
22 And they possessed all the coasts of the Amorites, from Arnon even to Jabbok, and from the wilderness even to Jordan.
Dia nahazo ny tanin’ ny Amorita rehetra izy hatrany Arnona, ka hatrany Jaboka ary hatramin’ ny efitra ka hatrany Jordana.
23 So now the LORD God of Israel has dispossessed the Amorites from before his people Israel, and should you possess it?
Koa ankehitriny, Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely, efa nandroaka ny Amorita teo anoloan’ ny Isiraely olony: ary ianao kosa va tahaka ny tany?
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.
Moa tsy hotananao izay tany omen’ i Kemosy andriamanitrao anao va? Atỳ izay tany rehetra omen’ i Jehovah Andriamanitray anay dia mba hotananay kosa.
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,
Moa tsara noho Balaka, zanak’ i Zipora, mpanjakan’ i Moaba, va ianao? Nety nanohitra ny Isiraely na niady taminy akory va izy?
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?
Raha ny Isiraely nitoetra telon-jato taona tany Hesboala sy ny zana-bohiny ary tany Aroera sy ny zana-bohiny ary tany amin’ ny tanàna rehetra eny amoron’ i Arnona, nahoana no tsy nalainareo ny tany tamin’ izany andro izany?
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.
Izaho tsy nanota taminao, fa ianao no manisy ratsy ahy, fa miady amiko;
28 However, the king of the children of Ammon listened not to the words of Jephthah which he sent him.
Nefa tsy nohenoin’ ny mpanjakan’ ny taranak’ i Amona ny tenin’ i Jefta, izay nampitondrainy tany aminy.
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.
Ary tonga tao amin’ i Jefta ny Fanahin’ i Jehovah, dia nandeha nitety an’ i Gileada sy Manase izy; ka dia nitety an’ i Mizpa any Gileada koa izy ka niala tany Mizpa any Gileada, dia nandroso nankany amin’ ny taranak’ i Amona.
30 And Jephthah vowed a vow to the LORD, and said, If you shall without fail deliver the children of Ammon into my hands,
Ary Jefta nivoady tamin’ i Jehovah ka nanao hoe: Raha hatolotrao eo an-tanako tokoa ny taranak’ i Amona,
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.
dia ho an’ i Jehovah Izay mivoaka amin’ ny varavaran’ ny tranoko hitsena ahy, rehefa miverina soa aman-tsara avy any amin’ ny taranak’ i Amona aho, ary hateriko ho fanatitra dorana izany.
32 So Jephthah passed over to the children of Ammon to fight against them; and the LORD delivered them into his hands.
Dia nandeha Jefta nankany amin’ ny taranak’ i Amona hiady aminy: ary natolotr’ i Jehovah teo an-tànany ireo.
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.
Dia namely azy izy hatrany Aroera ka hatrany akaikin’ i Minita sy hatrany Abela-keramima, dia tanàna roa-polo, ka be dia be no maty. Dia resy teo anoloan’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely ny taranak’ i Amona.
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.
Ary Jefta tonga tany Mizpa ho any an-tranony, ary, indro, nivoaka ny zananivavy nitondra ampongatapaka sy mpandihy hitsena azy; ary vavy tokany io, fa tsy nanana zanakalahy na zanakavavy afa-tsy io izy.
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.
Koa rehefa nahita azy Jefta, dia nandriatra ny fitafiany ka nanao hoe: Indrisy, ry zanako-vavy! Efa nampitanondrika ahy indrindra ianao, ary ianao no tonga nampidi-doza tamiko; fa izaho efa niloa-bava tamin’ i Jehovah, ka tsy azoko afody intsony.
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.
Fa hoy ny zananivavy taminy: Ry dada ô, raha niloa-bava tamin’ i Jehovah ary ianao, dia ataovy amiko araka izay naloaky ny vavanao, satria Jehovah efa namaly ny taranak’ i Amona fahavalonao ho anao.
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.
Dia hoy koa izy tamin’ ny rainy: Aoka izao no hatao amiko: aza maninona ahy aloha hatramin’ ny roa volana mba handehandehanako hankeny amin’ ny havoana hitomaniako, izaho sy ny namako, noho izaho mbola tsy nanambady akory.
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.
Dia hoy kosa rainy: Mandehana ary. Dia nampandeha azy roa volana izy; ary dia nandeha razazavavy sy ny namany ka nitomany teny amin’ ny havoana noho izy mbola tsy nanam-bady akory.
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,
Ary rehefa tapitra ny roa volana, dia niverina tany amin’ ny rainy izy; ary nataony taminy araka ny voadiny izay nataony; ary tsy mbola nahalala lahy izy. Ary tonga fanao tamin’ ny Isiraely
40 That the daughters of Israel went yearly to lament the daughter of Jephthah the Gileadite four days in a year.
ny fandehanan’ ny zazavavin’ ny Isiraely isan-taona hankalaza ny zanakavavin’ i Jefta Gileadita hefarana isan-taona.
