Judges 11
1 Now Yiphthach the Gil'adite was a mighty man of valor, but he was the son of a harlot; and Gil'ad had begotten Yiphthach.
Yiftaan namichi gosa Giliʼaad sun goota ture. Abbaan isaa Giliʼaad jedhama; haati isaa immoo sagaagaltuu turte.
2 And the wife of Gil'ad also bore him sons; and when the sons of the wife were grown up, they drove away Yiphthach, and said unto him, Thou shalt not inherit in the house of our father: for the son of another woman art thou.
Niitiin Giliʼaadis Giliʼaadiif ilmaan deesse; isaanis yommuu guddatanitti Yiftaadhaan, “Ati waan dubartii biraa irraa dhalatteef dhaala tokko illee maatii keenya irraa hin argattu” jedhanii isa ariʼan.
3 And Yiphthach fled away from his brothers, and dwelt in the land of Tob; and there gathered themselves to Yiphthach idle men, and they went out with him.
Kanaafuu Yiftaan obboloota isaa duraa baqatee biyya Xoob jedhamu keessa jiraate; gareen kashlabbootaa naannoo isaatti walitti qabamanii isa duukaa buʼan.
4 And it came to pass after some time, that the children of 'Ammon made war against Israel.
Yeroo xinnoo booddee, yommuu Amoononni saba Israaʼelitti waraana kaasanitti,
5 And it was so, when the children of 'Ammon made war against Israel, that the elders of Gil'ad went to fetch Yiphthach out of the land of Tob.
maanguddoonni Giliʼaad Yiftaa barbaacha gara Xoob deeman.
6 And they said unto Yiphthach, Come, and become a leader unto us, that we may fight with the children of 'Ammon.
Isaanis, “Akka nu Amoonota waraanuu dandeenyuuf kottuu ajajaa nuu taʼi” jedhaniin.
7 And Yiphthach said unto the elders of Gil'ad, Did ye not hate me, and drive me away out of my father's house? and why are ye come unto me now, when ye are in distress?
Yiftaanis, “Isin na jibbitanii mana abbaa kootii na hin ariinee? Amma yommuu rakkattan maaliif na bira dhuftu?” isaaniin jedhe.
8 And the elders of Gil'ad said unto Yiphthach, Therefore are we now come back to thee, that thou mayest go with us, and fight against the children of 'Ammon; and thou shalt become unto us a head, unto all the inhabitants of Gil'ad.
Maanguddoonni Giliʼaadis, “Nu sababii kanaaf gara kee dhufneerra; Amoonota waraanuudhaaf nu faana kottu; nu warra Giliʼaad keessa jiraannu hunda irrattis hoogganaa ni taataa” jedhaniin.
9 And Yiphthach said unto the elders of Gil'ad, If ye bring me home again to fight against the children of 'Ammon, and the Lord give them up before me, shall I remain your head?
Yiftaanis, “Yoo isin akka ani Amoonota waraanuuf biyya kootti na deebiftanii Waaqayyos dabarsee harka kootti isaan kenne, dhugumaan ani hoogganaa keessan nan taʼaa?” jedheen.
10 And the elders of Gil'ad said unto Yiphthach, The Lord shall be a hearer between us, if we do not so according to thy word.
Maanguddoonni Giliʼaadis deebisanii, “Waaqayyo dhuga baʼaa keenya; dhugumaan nu akkuma ati jette goona” jedhaniin.
11 Then went Yiphthach with the elders of Gil'ad, and the people appointed him over them as head and as leader; and Yiphthach spoke all his words before the Lord in Mitzpah.
Kanaafuu Yiftaan maanguddoota Giliʼaad wajjin qajeele; sabni Giliʼaadis hoogganaa fi abbaa duulaa isa godhate. Innis iddoo Miisphaa jedhamutti waan duraan dubbate hundumaa irra deebiʼee fuula Waaqayyoo duratti dubbate.
12 And Yiphthach sent messengers unto the king of the children of 'Ammon, saying, What have I to do with thee, that thou art come unto me to fight against my land?
Yiftaan gara mootii Amoonotaatti ergamoota ergee, “Ati kan biyya keenya waraantuuf rakkina maalii nurraa qabda?” jedheen.
13 And the king of the children of 'Ammon said unto the messengers of Yiphthach, Because Israel took away my land, when they came up out of Egypt, from the Arnon even unto the Yabbok, and unto the Jordan: and now restore these [lands] again in peace.
Mootiin Amoonotaas ergamoota Yiftaatiin, “Sababii Israaʼeloonni yeroo Gibxii baʼanitti biyya koo kan Arnoonii fi Yaaboq gidduu jiruu fi biyya koo kan hamma Yordaanositti jiru fudhataniif ani waan kana godheera; kanaafuu amma karaa nagaan naa deebisaa” jedhe.
14 And Yiphthach again sent messengers unto the king of the children of 'Ammon;
Yiftaanis gara mootii Amoonotaatti deebisee ergamoota isaa erge;
15 And he said unto him, Thus hath said Yiphthach, Israel did not take away the land of Moab, nor the land of the children of 'Ammon;
akkanas jedhe: “Yiftaan akkana jedha: Israaʼel biyya Moʼaab yookaan biyya Amoonota hin fudhanne.
16 For when they came up out of Egypt, Israel walked through the wilderness unto the Red Sea, and came to Kadesh;
Garuu yeroo Gibxii baʼanitti Israaʼeloonni gammoojjii keessa gara Galaana Diimaa, achii immoo gara Qaadesh dhufan.
17 And Israel then sent messengers unto the king of Edom, saying, Let me pass, I pray thee, through thy land; but the king of Edom would not hearken; and also to the king of Moab they sent; but he would not consent: and Israel remained in Kadesh.
Israaʼelis gara mootii Edoomitti, ‘Akka ani biyya kee keessaan darbu naa eeyyami’ jedhee ergamoota erge; mootiin Edoom garuu hin dhageenye. Gara mootii Moʼaabittis akkasuma ergan; inni illee ni dide. Kanaafuu Israaʼel Qaadesh keessa ture.
18 Then they wandered through the wilderness, and traveled round the land of Edom, and the land of Moab, and came from the rising of the sun to the land of Moab, and encamped on the other side of the Arnon: but they came not within the border of Moab; for the Arnon is the boundary of Moab.
“Itti aansees gammoojjii keessa darbee biyya Edoomii fi biyya Moʼaab irra naannaʼee karaa baʼa biyya Moʼaabiin darbee gama kaaniin Arnoon cina qubate. Garuu sababii Arnoon daarii Moʼaab turteef isaan biyya Moʼaab hin seenne ture.
19 And Israel sent messengers unto Sichon the king of the Emorites, the king of Cheshbon; and Israel said unto him, Let us pass, we pray thee, through thy land unto my place.
“Ergasiis Israaʼel Sihoon mooticha Amoorotaa kan Heshboon bulchaa ture sanatti ergamoota ergee, ‘Akka nu biyya kee keessa gara biyya keenyaatti dabarru nuu eeyyami’ jedheen.
20 But Sichon trusted not Israel to [let them] pass through his territory; and Sichon assembled all his people, and encamped in Yahaz, and fought against Israel.
Sihoon garuu akka inni karaa biyya isaatiin darbu Israaʼelin hin amanne. Kanaafuu inni namoota isaa walitti qabatee Yaahizaa keessa qubatee Israaʼelin lole.
21 and the Lord the God of Israel delivered Sichon and all his people into the hand of Israel, and they smote them; and Israel took possession of all the land of the Emorites, the inhabitants of that country.
“Waaqayyo Waaqni Israaʼelis Sihoonii fi namoota isaa hunda dabarsee harka Israaʼelitti kenne; Israaʼeloonnis jara moʼatan; kanaafuu Israaʼeloonni biyya Amoorota achi jiraatan hundaa fudhatan;
22 And they took possession of all the territory of the Emorites, from the Arnon even unto the Yabbok, and from the wilderness even unto the Jordan.
qabeenya biyya Amoor kan Arnoonii hamma Yaaboqitti akkasumas kan gammoojjii hamma Yordaanositti jiru hunda fudhatan.
23 So now the Lord the God of Israel hath dispossessed the Emorites from before his people Israel, and shouldst thou possess it?
“Yoos erga Waaqayyo Waaqni Israaʼel fuula saba Israaʼel duraa Amoorota ariʼee baasee ati fudhachuudhaaf mirga maalii qabdaa?
24 Truly! that which Kemosh thy god may give thee to possess, even that canst thou possess; but whatsoever the Lord our God hath driven out from before us, even that will we possess.
Ati waan Kemoosh Waaqni kee siif kennu hin fudhattuu? Nus akkasuma waan Waaqayyo Waaqni keenya nuu kenne kam iyyuu ni fudhanna.
25 And now art thou then any better than Balak the son of Zippor, the king of Moab? did he ever strive against Israel, or did he ever fight against them?
Ati Baalaaq mootii Moʼaab ilma Ziphoori sana ni caaltaa? Inni takkumaa Israaʼel waraaneeraa? Yookaan loleeraa?
26 [And] while Israel hath dwelt in Cheshbon and in its towns, and in 'Ar'or and in its towns, and in all the cities that are along the margins of the Arnon, three hundred years: why did ye not recover them within that time?
Israaʼeloonni waggaa dhibba sadii Heshboon, Aroʼeer, qubatawwan naannoo sanaatii fi magaalaawwan naannoo Arnoon qabatanii turaniiru. Ati yeroo sanatti maaliif deebiftee hin fudhatin?
27 Whereas I myself have not sinned against thee, and thou doest me wrong to war against me: may the Lord, the Judge, decide this day between the children of Israel and the children of 'Ammon.
Ani yakka sitti hin hojjenne; ati garuu waraana natti kaasuudhaan na miiteerta. Kanas Waaqayyo, abbaan murtii ammuma kana kaʼee Israaʼelootaa fi Amoonota gidduutti murtii haa kennu.”
28 Nevertheless the king of the children of 'Ammon hearkened not unto the words of Yiphthach which he had sent to him.
Mootiin Amoonotaa garuu ergaa Yiftaan isatti ergeef gurra hin kennine.
29 Then came upon Yiphthach the spirit of the Lord, and he passed through Gil'ad and Menasseh, and passed through Mitzpeh of Gil'ad, and from Mitzpeh of Gil'ad he passed over unto the children of Ammon.
Kana irratti Hafuurri Waaqayyoo Yiftaa irra buʼe. Innis Giliʼaadii fi Minaasee keessa darbee Miisphaa ishee Giliʼaad keessa jirtu sana keessa qaxxaamuree Amoonotatti duule.
30 And Yiphthach made a vow unto the Lord, and said, If thou wilt indeed deliver the children of 'Ammon into my hand,
Yiftaan akkana jedhee Waaqayyoof wareege; “Yoo ati Amoonota dabarsitee harka kootti kennite,
31 Then shall it be, that whatsoever cometh forth out of the doors of my house to meet me, when I return in peace from the children of 'Ammon, shall belong to the Lord, and I will offer it up for a burnt-offering.
yommuu ani moʼadhee deebiʼutti wanni mana kootii na simachuudhaaf jalqabatti baʼuu kam iyyuu kan Waaqayyoo ti; anis qalma gubamu godhee isa nan dhiʼeessa.”
32 So Yiphthach passed over unto the children of 'Ammon to fight against them: and the Lord delivered them into his hand.
Ergasiis Yiftaan Amoonota waraanuuf baʼe; Waaqayyos isaan dabarsee harka isaatti kenne.
33 And he smote them from 'Aro'er, even till thou comest to Minnith, twenty cities, and unto Abel-keramin, with a very great defeat; and the children of 'Ammon were humbled before the children of Israel.
Innis Aroʼeerii jalqabee magaalaawwan digdama hamma naannoo Miiniititti akkasumas hamma Abeel Keraamiimitti argaman guutumaan guutuutti barbadeesse. Amoononnis akkasiin Israaʼelootaaf bulan.
34 And Yiphthach came to Mizpah unto his house, and, behold, his daughter came out to meet him with timbrels and with dances: and she was his sole child; he had beside her neither son nor daughter.
Yeroo Yiftaan gara Miisphaatti mana isaatti deebiʼetti, intalli isaa dibbee rukutaa sirbaa isa simachuuf baate! Isheen intala tokkittii inni qabu turte. Inni ishee malee ilmas taʼu intala biraa hin qabu ture.
35 And it came to pass, when he saw her, that he rent his garments, and said, Alas, my daughter! thou hast bent me down very low, and thou art one of those that trouble me; for I have opened my mouth unto the Lord, and I cannot go back.
Innis yommuu ishee argetti wayyaa isaa tarsaasee, “Wayyoo! Yaa mucattii koo! Na balleessite; dhiphina keessa na galchite; ani wareega cabsuu hin dandeenye Waaqayyoof wareegeeraatii” jedhee booʼe.
36 And she said unto him, My father, if thou hast opened thy mouth unto the Lord, do to me in accordance with what hath proceeded out of thy mouth; since the Lord hath taken vengeance for thee on thy enemies, on the children of 'Ammon.
Isheenis akkana jette; “Yaa abbaa ko, ati Waaqayyoof kakatteerta; sababii Waaqayyo diinota kee Amoonota haaloo siif baʼeef, ati waan waadaa galte sana anaan guutadhu.
37 And she said unto her father, Let this thing be done for me: Let me alone two months, that I may descend to the mountains, and bewail my virginity, I with my companions.
Garuu waan tokko naa eeyyami; sababii ani siʼachi hin heerumneef akka ani michoota koo wajjin gaarran irra naannaʼee durbummaa kootiif booʼuuf jiʼa lama naa kenni.”
38 And he aid, Go. And he sent her away for two months: and she went with her companions, and bewailed her virginity on the mountains.
Innis, “Dhaquu dandeessa” jedheen. Akka isheen jiʼa lamaaf deemtus eeyyameef. Isheenis waan siʼachi heerumuu hin dandeenyeef dubarran michoota ishee wajjin gaarranitti ol baatee boosse.
39 And it came to pass at the end of two months, that she returned unto her father, and he fulfilled on her his vow which he had vowed; and she knew no man; and it became a custom in Israel,
Jiʼa lamaa booddees gara abbaa isheetti deebite; innis akkuma wareege sana godhe. Isheen durba turte. Yeroo sanaa jalqabee wanni kun Israaʼeloota biratti bartee taʼee
40 That the daughters of Israel went from year to year to lament for the daughter of Yiphthach the Gil'adite four days in the year.
durboonni Israaʼel wagguma waggaan baʼanii guyyaa afur intala Yiftaa namicha Giliʼaad sanaa gaddaan yaadatu.
