< 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,
Ary Jefta Gileadita dia lehilahy mahery sy zanaky ny vehivavy janga; ary Gileada no rainy niteraka azy.
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.”
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 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.
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 comes to pass, after a time, that the sons of Ammon fight with Israel,
Ary nony ela, dia nanafika ny Zanak’ Isiraely ny taranak’ i Amona.
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;
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 say to Jephthah, “Come, and you have been for a captain to us, and we fight against the sons of Ammon.”
Ary hoy izy ireo taminy: Avia ho mpitarika anay ianao, hiadiantsika amin’ ny taranak’ i Amona.
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?”
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] 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.”
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 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?”
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] elderly of Gilead say to Jephthah, “YHWH is listening between us—if we do not do so according to your word.”
Dia hoy ny loholon’ i Gileada tamin’ i Jefta: Jehovah no ho vavolombelona amintsika, raha tsy hataonay araka izany teninao izany.
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.
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 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?”
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 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.”
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 adds yet and sends messengers to the king of the sons of Ammon,
Ary Jefta naniraka olona indray nankany amin’ ny mpanakan’ ny taranak’ i Amona
15 and says to him, “Thus said Jephthah: Israel did not take the land of Moab, and the land of the sons 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 for in their coming up out of Egypt, Israel goes in the wilderness to the Red Sea, and comes 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 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,
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 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.
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 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,
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 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;
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 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,
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 possess all the border of the Amorite from Arnon, and to the Jabbok, and from the wilderness, and to the Jordan.
Dia nahazo ny tanin’ ny Amorita rehetra izy hatrany Arnona, ka hatrany Jaboka ary hatramin’ ny efitra ka hatrany Jordana.
23 And now, YHWH, God of Israel, has dispossessed the Amorite from the presence of His people Israel, and you would 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 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.
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 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?
Moa tsara noho Balaka, zanak’ i Zipora, mpanjakan’ i Moaba, va ianao? Nety nanohitra ny Isiraely na niady taminy akory va izy?
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?
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 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.”
Izaho tsy nanota taminao, fa ianao no manisy ratsy ahy, fa miady amiko;
28 And the king of the sons of Ammon has not listened to the words of Jephthah which he sent to him,
Nefa tsy nohenoin’ ny mpanjakan’ ny taranak’ i Amona ny tenin’ i Jefta, izay nampitondrainy tany aminy.
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.
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 vows a vow to YHWH and says, “If You give the sons of Ammon into my hand at all—
Ary Jefta nivoady tamin’ i Jehovah ka nanao hoe: Raha hatolotrao eo an-tanako tokoa ny taranak’ i Amona,
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.”
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 And Jephthah passes over to the sons of Ammon to fight against them, and YHWH gives them into his hand,
Dia nandeha Jefta nankany amin’ ny taranak’ i Amona hiady aminy: ary natolotr’ i Jehovah teo an-tànany ireo.
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.
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 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.
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 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.”
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 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.”
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 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.”
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 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;
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 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:
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 from time to time the daughters of Israel go to talk to 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.
