Judges 11
1 And Jephthah the Gileadite has been a mighty man of valor, and he [is the] son of a harlot woman; and Gilead begets 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 the wife of Gilead bears sons to him, and the wife’s sons grow up and cast Jephthah out, and say to him, “You do not inherit in the house of our father; for you [are the] son of another 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 And Jephthah flees from the face of his brothers, and dwells in the land of Tob; and vain men gather themselves together to Jephthah, and they go 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 comes to pass, after a time, that the sons of Ammon fight with Israel,
Ammonnaw ni Isarelnaw a tuk hnukkhu hoi atueng sitca dawk hettelah ao.
5 and it comes to pass, when the sons of Ammon have fought with Israel, that [the] elderly of Gilead go to take Jephthah from 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 say to Jephthah, “Come, and you have been for a captain to us, and we fight against the sons of Ammon.”
Hottelah Jephthah koevah, Ammonnaw tuk thai nahanlah tho leih, ransabawi lah na awm pou leih atipouh awh.
7 And Jephthah says to [the] elderly of Gilead, “Have you not hated me? And you cast me out from the house of my father, and why have 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] elderly of Gilead say to Jephthah, “Therefore, now, we have turned back to you; and you have gone with us, and have fought against the sons of Ammon, and you have been for head to us—to 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 says to [the] elderly of Gilead, “If you are taking me back to fight against the sons of Ammon, and YHWH has given them before me—am I for a head to you?”
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] elderly of Gilead say to Jephthah, “YHWH is listening between us—if we do not do so according to your word.”
Gilead e kacuenaw ni, na lawk patetlah lah ka sak awh hoehpawiteh, BAWIPA ni mamouh rahak vah kapanuekkhaikung lah awm seh atipouh awh.
11 And Jephthah goes with [the] elderly of Gilead, and the people set him over them for head and for captain, and Jephthah speaks all his words before YHWH 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 sends messengers to the king of the sons of Ammon, saying, “What [is this] to me and to you, that you have come to 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 sons of Ammon says to the messengers of Jephthah, “Because Israel took my land in his coming up out of Egypt, from Arnon, and to the Jabbok, and to the Jordan; and now, restore them in peace.”
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 adds yet and sends messengers to the king of the sons of Ammon,
Jephthah ni Ammonnaw e siangpahrang koe patounenaw bout a patoun.
15 and says to him, “Thus said Jephthah: Israel did not take the land of Moab, and the land of the sons 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 for in their coming up out of Egypt, Israel goes in the wilderness to the Red Sea, and comes 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 and Israel sends messengers to the king of Edom, saying, Please let me pass over through your land, and the king of Edom did not listen; and [Israel] has also sent to the king of Moab, and he has not been willing; and Israel abides 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 and he goes through the wilderness, and goes around the land of Edom and the land of Moab, and comes in at the rising of the sun of the land of Moab, and they encamp beyond Arnon, and have not come into the border of Moab, for Arnon [is] 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 sends messengers to Sihon, king of the Amorite, king of Heshbon, and Israel says to him, Please let us pass over through your land, to 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 and Sihon has not trusted Israel to pass over through his border, and Sihon gathers all his people, and they encamp in Jahaz, and fight with 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 YHWH, God of Israel, gives Sihon and all his people into the hand of Israel, and they strike them, and Israel possesses all the land of the Amorite, the inhabitant of that land,
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 possess all the border of the Amorite from Arnon, and to the Jabbok, and from the wilderness, and to the Jordan.
Hahoi Amornaw e khori thung dawk Amor palang koehoi Jabbok palang totouh, ramke hoi Jordan palang totouh a pang awh.
23 And now, YHWH, God of Israel, has dispossessed the Amorite from the presence of His people Israel, and you would 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 That which your god Chemosh causes you to possess—do you not possess it? And all that which our God YHWH has dispossessed from our presence—we possess it.
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 at all better than Balak son of Zippor, king of Moab? Did he strive with Israel at all? Did he fight against them at all?
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 In Israel’s dwelling in Heshbon and in its towns, and in Aroer and in its towns, and in all the cities which [are] by the sides of Arnon [for] three hundred years—and why have you not delivered them in 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 And I have not sinned against you, and you are doing evil with me—to fight against me. YHWH, the Judge, judges between the sons of Israel and the sons of Ammon today.”
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 And the king of the sons of Ammon has not listened to the words of Jephthah which he sent to him,
Hatei, Jephthah ni lawk a thui e hah Ammon siangpahrang ni ngai pouh hoeh.
29 and the Spirit of YHWH is on Jephthah, and he passes over Gilead and Manasseh, and passes over Mizpeh of Gilead, and he has passed over from Mizpeh of Gilead to the sons 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 vows a vow to YHWH and says, “If You give the sons of Ammon into my hand at all—
Jephthah ni BAWIPA koe lawk a kam teh, Ammonnaw heh ka kut dawk na poe katang pawiteh,
31 then it has been, that which comes out from the doors of my house at all to meet me in my turning back in peace from the sons of Ammon—it has been for YHWH, or I have offered up a burnt-offering for it.”
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 And Jephthah passes over to the sons of Ammon to fight against them, and YHWH gives them into his hand,
Hahoi teh, Jephthah teh Ammonnaw tuk hanlah a kamthaw teh, BAWIPA ni ahnimouh teh a kut dawk a poe.
33 and he strikes them from Aroer, and to [where] you are going in to Minnith—twenty cities—and to the meadow of the vineyards, [with] a very great striking; and the sons of Ammon are humbled at the presence of the sons 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 comes into Mizpeh, to his house, and behold, his daughter is coming out to meet him with timbrels, and with choruses, and except her alone, he has no son or 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 comes to pass, when he sees her, that he tears his garments and says, “Aah! My daughter, you have caused me to bend greatly, and you have been among those troubling me; and I have opened my mouth to YHWH, and I am not able to turn 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 says to him, “My father, you have opened your mouth to YHWH, do to me as it has gone out from your mouth, after that YHWH has done vengeance for you on your enemies, on the sons 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 says to her father, “Let this thing be done to me; desist from me [for] two months, and I go on, and have gone down on the hills, and I weep for my virginity—I and my friends.”
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 says, “Go”; and he sends her away [for] two months, and she goes, she and her friends, and she weeps for her virginity on the hills;
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 comes to pass at the end of two months that she turns back to her father, and he does to her his vow which he has vowed, and she did not know a man; and it is a statute 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 from time to time the daughters of Israel go to talk to 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.
