Judges 11
1 Now Jephthah the Gileadite was a mighty man of valor, and he was the son of a prostitute. And Gilead became the father of Jephthah.
Tun Gilead gam'a cheng Jepthah chu gal hattah anahi. Amahi Gilead chapa ahin amavang anuchu numei noti anahi.
2 Gilead's wife bore him sons; and when his wife's sons grew up, they drove out Jephthah, and said to him, "You shall not inherit in our father's house; for you are the son of another woman."
Gilead jinu chun chapa phabep ana neijin ahi, amahi ahung khanlet phat’un amahon Jepthah chu agam’uva kon in ana nodoh un ahi. Amahon Jepthah kommah, “Nangin ipau gouhi nachanthei louding ahi, ajeh chu nanghi numei chavai noti khat cha nahi bouve ahiuvin ahi.
3 Then Jephthah fled from his brothers, and lived in the land of Tob: and there were gathered vain fellows to Jephthah, and they went out with him.
Hijeh chun Jepthah chu asopi hoa kon in ana jamdoh in Tob gammah ana chengin ahi. Gangtah in aman anung juiding loi phabep ahin neipai tan ahi.
4 It happened after a while, that the people of Ammon made war against Israel.
Hiche phatlai hin, Ammon miten Israelte chungah gal ahin boltan ahi.
5 It was so, that when the people of Ammon made war against Israel, the elders of Gilead went to get Jephthah out of the land of Tob;
Ammon miten ahin nokhum phat uhin, Gilead lamkaiten Tob ma um Jepthah hi akoutauvin ahi. Hiche lamkai hohin aseijun ahi,
6 and they said to Jephthah, "Come and be our chief, that we may fight with the people of Ammon."
“Hungin lang keiho lamkaijin hung pangtan! Ammon mite toh kisatna ding ahin neihung panpiuvin” atiuve.
7 And Jephthah said to the elders of Gilead, "Did you not hate me, and drive me out of my father's house, and sent me away from you? And why have you come to me now when you are in distress?"
Ahin Jepthah chun amaho kommah, “Nanghon nei vetdaova appa in na konna neina nodoh u hilouham? Tua hahsatna nanei phat uva hi ipi dinga kakomma nahungu ham?” atin ahi.
8 The elders of Gilead said to Jephthah, "Not so. We have turned to you now, that you may go with us, and fight with the people of Ammon; and you shall be our head over all the inhabitants of Gilead."
Lamkaiho chun adonbutnun “Ajeh chu tuahi nangma kangai chatnu ahitai, nangman Ammon mitetoh kisatto na ahi neihung lamkaijuva ahileh keihon Gilead mite jouse chunga lamkaija kapansah dingu ahi” atiuve.
9 Jephthah said to the elders of Gilead, "If you bring me home again to fight with the people of Ammon, and Jehovah delivers them before me, shall I be your head?"
Jepthah in lamkaiho komma chun hitin aseije, “Keima kahunga Pakaiyin Ammon mite chunga chu gal eijosah a ahileh nalamkai uva neipansah mongdiu ahinam?” ati.
10 The elders of Gilead said to Jephthah, "Jehovah shall be witness between us; surely according to your word so will we do."
Lamkaihon adonbut’un, “Pakai chu ichunguva ahetoh in pangjing hen nangin nasei chanchu boldinga kakitep u ahi” atiuve.
11 Then Jephthah went with the elders of Gilead, and the people made him head and chief over them. And Jephthah spoke all his words before Jehovah in Mizpah.
Hitichun Jepthah chu Gilead lamkaiho toh akilhon khom tauvin ahi, chuleh Gilead mipite chun alamkai diuvin apansah tauvin chule gal lamkai jong ahisah taove.
12 Jephthah sent messengers to the king of the people of Ammon, saying, "What have you to do with me, that you have come to me to fight against my land?"
Hiche jouchun Jepthah in thupole ho Ammon lengpa komma asollin hitin aseije, “Ibola kagamsunga hi gal boldinga nahung ham?” ati.
13 And the king of the people of Ammon answered the messengers of Jephthah, "Because Israel took away my land, when he came up out of Egypt, from the Arnon even to the Jabbok, and to the Jordan. Now therefore restore it peaceably, and I will depart."
Ammon lengpan Jepthah thupole ho kommah hitin ahin seijuvin ahi, “Israelte Egypt ma konna ahungu chun, amahon kagammu, Arnon vadunga kon in Jabbok vading gei chuleh Jordan changeijin eilah peh un ahi. Tun chanma nadeileh hiche hochu neihin nungpeh tan,” ati.
14 And the messengers returned to Jephthah, and Jephthah sent messengers again to the king of the people of Ammon;
Jepthah in thupole ho chu Ammon lengpa komma alesol kitnin aseije,
15 and he said to him, "Thus says Jephthah: 'Israel did not take away the land of Moab, nor the land of the people of Ammon,
Hichehi Jepthah in aseichu ahi, “Israelten Moab ahin Ammon mite ahin agammu kalahpeh pouve,
16 but when they came up from Egypt, and Israel went through the wilderness to the Red Sea, and came to Kadesh;
Israel mipite Egypt a konna ahung kitoldoh uva twikhanglen san ahung galkai jou uchun Kadesh ahung lhungun,
17 then Israel sent messengers to the king of Edom, saying, 'Please let me pass through your land.' But the king of Edom did not listen. In the same way, he sent to the king of Moab; but he would not. So Israel stayed in Kadesh.
Amahon Edom lengpa komma agamsung ahin phalpeh pouvin ahi. Hiche jouchun Moab lengpa komma hiche tobang machun agah thumkit un ahileh agamsunga hopa ding chu ahin janom dehpon ahi. Hijeh chun Israel mipite chu Kadesh a akingatauvin,
18 Then they went through the wilderness, and went around the land of Edom, and the land of Moab, and came by the east side of the land of Moab, and they camped on the other side of the Arnon; but they did not come within the territory of Moab, for the Arnon was the boundary of Moab.
Akhonna in Edomle Moab chu apellun gamthip noija akitol tauvin ahi. Amahon Moab solam gamgi langchu ajot un Arnon vadung pangte nia chun ngahmun asemtauvin ahi. Ahinla amahon Moab lutna dingin Arnon vadung ahin pal galkai khapon ahi, ajeh chu Ardon chu Moab gamgi ahi.
19 Israel sent messengers to Sihon king of the Amorites, the king of Heshbon; and Israel said to him, "Please let me pass through your land to our land.'
Hiche jouchun Israelten Heshbon na um Amor mi Sihon lengpa kommah ajotnao mun athum theina dingun agamsung hopana dinga phalna thummin thupole ho asollin ahi.
20 But Sihon did not trust Israel to pass through his territory; but Sihon gathered all his people together, and camped in Jahaz, and fought against Israel.
Ahinlah Sihon lengpan Israelten agamsungu ahopa diu anaphal pon ahi. Aman asepaite agongtoh in Jahaz munnah amaho chu ana kidoupin ahi.
21 Jehovah, the God of Israel, delivered Sihon and all his people into the hand of Israel, and they struck them. So Israel possessed all the land of the Amorites, the inhabitants of that country.
Ahinlah Pakai Israelte Pathen chun amite chu Sihon lengpa chu anajo sah tan ahi. Hijeh chun Israelten kholang gamkaija um Amor mite gamjouse,
22 They possessed all the territory of the Amorites, from the Arnon even to the Jabbok, and from the wilderness even to the Jordan.
Arnon vadunga konna Jabbok vadung chuleh gamthip noi solanga konna Jordan changei chungah tha ananeijun ahi.
23 So now Jehovah, the God of Israel, has driven out the Amorites from before his people Israel, and should you possess them?
Hitichun Pakai Israel Pathen’in Amor mite gamchu alahpeh a Israelte anapeh ahin hichu keihon itidan a nangho kanungpeh kitdiu ham?
24 Won't you possess that which Chemosh your god gives you to possess? So whoever Jehovah our God has driven out from before us, we will possess.
Hijeh chun na pathen uvin napeh uvin napeh uchu kikoi unlang keihon jong Pakai ka Pathennun eipeh u gamchu kakoiju ahibouve.
25 And now are you anything better than Balak the son of Zippor, king of Moab? Did he ever contend against Israel, or did he ever fight against them?
Nangho Moab lengpa Zippor chapa Balak sanga phajo nahiuvam? Aman Israelte chung gal anabol khah em?
26 While Israel lived in Heshbon and its towns, and in Aroer and its towns, and in all the cities that are along by the side of the Arnon, three hundred years; why did you not liberate them within that time?
Israel hi hiche gammahi kum jathum hung chenga ahitan, Heshbon leh vella achenna hou Aroer leh achennao gam jouse chule Arnon vadung vella khopiho jousehi ana chenphao ahitai. Phat hitih chanpihi ipi dinga nahin nunglah louham?
27 I therefore have not sinned against you, but you do me wrong by making war against me. Jehovah, the Judge, be judge this day between the children of Israel and the people of Ammon."
Hijeh chun keiman nang chungah suhkhel kaneipoi, nangjoh in neihung nokhum jeh ahi keichunga suhkhel naneijoh ahi, hijeh chun tunihin ichunguva vaihomma Pakaiyin Israel ham ahilouleh Ammon mite joh themmoa ham ti hinphongdoh jenghen” ati.
28 However the king of the people of Ammon did not listen to the words of Jephthah which he sent him.
Ahinlah Ammon lengpan Jepthah thuthot chu anahsahpon ahi.
29 Then the Spirit of Jehovah 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 people of Ammon.
Hiche phat chun Pakai lhagaochu Jepthah chungah ahung pansatan ahi, hichun ama Gilead gamma kon in Manasseh changei chuleh Gilead sunga Mizpah changei agachonnin Ammon mite kisatpi dingin epia aga khomtan ahi.
30 Jephthah made a vow to Jehovah, and said, "If you will indeed deliver the people of Ammon into my hand,
Jepthah in Pakaijah kihahselna khat ana neijin hitin anaseijin ahi, “Pakai nangman Ammon mite chungahi galjona neipeh a ahileh,
31 then it shall be that whatever comes forth from the doors of my house to meet me, when I return in peace from the people of Ammon, it shall be Jehovah's, and I will offer it up for a burnt offering."
Keima galjouva kakile tengleh ka insunga konna hungpot doh a eihung kimutopi masapen penchu nang komma pumgo thilto a dinga kakatdoh jengding ahi” ati.
32 So Jephthah passed over to the people of Ammon to fight against them; and Jehovah delivered them into his hand.
Hitichun Jepthah in asepaite alamkaijin Ammon mite chu akisatpin ahileh Pakaiyin galjona anapetan ahi.
33 He struck them from Aroer until you come to Minnith, even twenty cities, and to Abel Keramim, with a very great slaughter. So the people of Ammon were subdued before the children of Israel.
Aman Ammon mite chu Aroer apat Minnith kimvella gamho geijin anajouvin khopi somni chu analaan, Abel-keramin geijin ana suchip jengin ahi. Hitihin Israelten Ammon mite chu anajouvin ahi.
34 Jephthah came to Mizpah to his house; and look, his daughter came out to meet him with tambourines and with dances: and she was his only child; besides her he had neither son nor daughter.
Jepthah chu Mizpah ainmunna ahung kilephat chun achanu chu lamna a kimang agingthei chaokol chu kibu pummin kipah tah in apa lamto dingin ahung potdoh'in ahi. Aman chapa chanu dang aneipon amanu seh seh chu anei ahi.
35 And it happened, when he saw her, that he tore his clothes, and said, "Alas, my daughter. You have brought me very low. You have become a stumbling block in my sight. And you are among those who trouble me. For I have given my word to Jehovah, and I can't break it."
Aman achanu chu amuphatnin lungnatah in avonho abottel jengin, “Vo kachanu” atin apengjah jengin, “Nangin kalungthim nasuna lheh jengtai, nanghi ipi dinga kalungthim suna a napan hitam? Ajeh chu keiman Pakai komma kihahselna khat kahin nei ahitan, hichea konna chu kaki nunghei theilou ding ahitai,” ati.
36 She said to him, "My father, since you have given your word to Jehovah; do to me as you promised, because Jehovah has taken vengeance for you on your enemies, even on the people of Ammon."
Hichun achanun aseitai, “Hepa nangin Pakai komma kihahselna nahin nei ahitah leh nahung kihahselna bangchun kachungah tongdoh jengin, ajeh chu Pakaiyin nagalmi Ammon mite chunga galjon loupitah chu napehtah chula em!
37 She said to her father, "Let this thing be done for me: leave me alone two months, that I may depart and go down on the mountains, and weep because of my virginity, I and my companions."
Ahinlah eap, thilkhat vang neibolsah ding kadeije,” Keima nungah thenga thiding kahitah jeh'in, lhani sungin kaloi kagol hotoh thinglhang gammah gavahle uvingting kakhangdonlai pulhi gadou khom uvinge” ati.
38 He said, "Go." He sent her away for two months: and she departed, she and her companions, and wept because of her virginity on the mountains.
Jepthah in, “Boinu gachetan” atin lhani sunga dingin asoldohtai. Hitichun ama chu aloi agol chengtoh akhangdonlai pul doukhom dingin ache tauvin ahi.
39 It happened at the end of two months, that she returned to her father, who did with her according to what he had vowed. And she was a virgin. It became a custom in Israel,
Achanu chu ainna ahung kilephatnin apan achung change ahung kihahselna bangchun aboltan ahi. Hitichun amachu nungah thengin athitan ahi. Hiche Israelte chonna khatnin ahung umdohtan ahi.
40 that the daughters of Israel went yearly four days in a year to commemorate the daughter of Jephthah the Gileadite.
Israel khangdong nungah hon kumsehleh Jepthah chanu puldouna-in nili aga potdoh jiuvin ahi.
