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.
Jeftus, tas Gileādietis, bija stiprs karavīrs, bet viņš bija maukas bērns, ko Gileāds bija dzemdinājis.
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."
Kad nu Gileāda sieva viņam bērnus dzemdēja, un šās sievas bērni pieauga, tad tie Jeftu izdzina un uz to sacīja: tev nebūs mantot mūsu tēva namā, jo tu esi citas sievas dēls.
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.
Tad Jeftus bēga no saviem brāļiem un dzīvoja Tobas zemē, un pie Jeftus sapulcējās nelieši un izgāja līdz ar viņu.
4 It happened after a while, that the people of Ammon made war against Israel.
Un pēc kāda laika Amona bērni karoja pret Israēli.
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;
Un kad Amona bērni pret Israēli karoja, tad Gileādas vecaji nogāja, Jeftu atvest no Toba zemes.
6 and they said to Jephthah, "Come and be our chief, that we may fight with the people of Ammon."
Un tie sacīja uz Jeftu: nāc un esi mums par vadoni un karosim pret Amona bērniem.
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?"
Bet Jeftus sacīja uz Gileādas vecajiem: vai jūs mani neesat ienīdējuši un mani izdzinuši no mana tēva nama? Kāpēc tad jūs nu nākat pie manis, kad jums ir bēdas?
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."
Un Gileādas vecaji sacīja uz Jeftu: tāpēc mēs nu pie tevis esam griezušies, ka tev būs iet ar mums un karot pret Amona bērniem; un tev būs būt par galvu mums, visiem Gileāda iedzīvotājiem.
9 Jephthah said to the elders of Gilead, "If you bring me home again to fight with the people of Ammon, and the LORD delivers them before me, shall I be your head?"
Un Jeftus sacīja uz Gileādas vecajiem: kad jūs mani atpakaļ vedat, karot pret Amona bērniem, un kad Tas Kungs tos nodos manā priekšā, tad es jums būšu par galvu.
10 The elders of Gilead said to Jephthah, "The LORD shall be witness between us; surely according to your word so will we do."
Un Gileādas vecaji sacīja uz Jeftu: lai Tas Kungs dzird mūsu sarunu, ja mēs tā nedarīsim, kā tu esi runājis.
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 the LORD in Mizpah.
Tad Jeftus gāja līdz Gileādas vecajiem, un tie ļaudis viņu iecēla sev par galvu un par vadoni, un Jeftus runāja visus savus vārdus Tā Kunga priekšā Micpā.
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?"
Un Jeftus sūtīja vēstnešus pie Amona bērnu ķēniņa un sacīja: kas tev ar mani, ka tu pie manis esi nācis, karot pret manu zemi?
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."
Un Amona bērnu ķēniņš sacīja uz Jeftus vēstnešiem: tāpēc ka Israēls paņēmis manu zemi, kad viņš no Ēģiptes atnāca, no Arnonas līdz Jabokai un līdz Jardānei; tad nu atdod man to ar labu.
14 And the messengers returned to Jephthah, and Jephthah sent messengers again to the king of the people of Ammon;
Bet Jeftus sūtīja atkal vēstnešus pie Amona bērnu ķēniņa.
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,
Un uz to sacīja: tā saka Jeftus: Israēls nav ņēmis ne Moaba zemi, ne Amona bērnu zemi.
16 but when they came up from Egypt, and Israel went through the wilderness to the Red Sea, and came to Kadesh;
Jo kad viņš no Ēģiptes izgāja, tad Israēls gāja pa tuksnesi līdz niedru jūrai un nāca uz Kādešu.
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.
Un Israēls sūtīja vēstnešus pie Edoma ķēniņa un sacīja: ļauj man jel iet caur tavu zemi, bet Edoma ķēniņš neklausīja. Un viņš sūtīja arī pie Moaba ķēniņa; tas arī negribēja. Tā Israēls palika Kādešā.
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.
Pēc tam viņš staigaja pa tuksnesi un apgāja ap Edoma zemi un Moaba zemi un nāca no rīta puses uz Moaba zemi; un tie apmetās viņpus Arnonas, bet tie nenāca Moabiešu robežās, jo Arnona ir Moabiešu robeža.
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.'
Bet Israēls sūtīja vēstnešus pie Sihona, Amoriešu ķēniņa, kas bija Hešbonas ķēniņš, un Israēls uz viņu sacīja: ļauj mums jel iet caur tavu zemi līdz savai vietai.
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.
Bet Sihons Israēlim neuzticējās, ka tas tam būtu ļāvis iet caur savām robežām, bet Sihons sapulcēja visus savus ļaudis, un tie apmetās Jācā un karoja pret Israēli.
21 The LORD, 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.
Un Tas Kungs, Israēla Dievs, nodeva Sihonu un visus viņa ļaudis Israēla rokā, ka tie tos sakāva, un Israēls iemantoja visu to zemi no Amoriešiem, kas tai zemē dzīvoja.
22 They possessed all the territory of the Amorites, from the Arnon even to the Jabbok, and from the wilderness even to the Jordan.
Un tie uzņēma visas Amoriešu robežas no Arnonas līdz Jabokai un no tuksneša līdz Jardānei.
23 So now the LORD, the God of Israel, has driven out the Amorites from before his people Israel, and should you possess them?
Tā nu Tas Kungs, Israēla Dievs, izdzinis Amoriešus Savu Israēla ļaužu priekšā, un tu gribi uzņemt to zemi?
24 Won't you possess that which Chemosh your god gives you to possess? So whoever the LORD our God has driven out from before us, we will possess.
Vai tev to nebūs paturēt, ko tavs dievs Kamos tev ir devis? Un mēs gribam paturēt visu to, ko Tas Kungs, mūsu Dievs, mums ir devis.
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?
Un nu, vai tu esi labāks nekā Balaks, Cipora dēls, Moaba ķēniņš? Vai tas ar Israēli tiesājies, vai tas pret viņiem karojis?
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?
Kamēr Israēls dzīvojis Hešbonā un viņas ciemos un Aroērā un viņas ciemos un visās pilsētās, kas pie Arnonas, trīssimt gadus, - kāpēc tu tanī laikā tos neesi atņēmis?
27 I therefore have not sinned against you, but you do me wrong by making war against me. The LORD, the Judge, be judge this day between the children of Israel and the people of Ammon."
Un es pret tevi neesmu grēkojis, bet tu dari pret mani ļaunu, pret mani karodams. Tas Kungs, kas ir soģis, lai šodien tiesā starp Israēla bērniem un Amona bērniem.
28 However the king of the people of Ammon did not listen to the words of Jephthah which he sent him.
Bet Amona bērnu ķēniņš neklausīja Jeftus vārdiem, ko viņš pie tā bija sūtījis.
29 Then the Ruach 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 people of Ammon.
Tad Tā Kunga Gars nāca uz Jeftu, un viņš gāja caur Gileādu un Manasu, un viņš gāja uz Micpu Gileādā un no Micpas Gileādā viņš gāja pret Amona bērniem.
30 Jephthah made a vow to the LORD, and said, "If you will indeed deliver the people of Ammon into my hand,
Un Jeftus solīja solījumu Tam Kungam un sacīja: ja tu Amona bērnus dosi manā rokā,
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 the LORD's, and I will offer it up for a burnt offering."
Tad tam, kas no mana nama durvīm man nāks pretī, kad es ar mieru no Amona bērniem griezīšos atpakaļ, būs piederēt Tam Kungam, un es to upurēšu par dedzināmo upuri.
32 So Jephthah passed over to the people of Ammon to fight against them; and the LORD delivered them into his hand.
Tad Jeftus gāja pret Amona bērniem ar tiem kauties, un Tas Kungs tos nodeva viņa rokā.
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.
Un viņš tos kāva varen lielā kaušanā no Aroēra, kamēr nāk uz Minitu, divdesmit pilsētas, un līdz tiem vīna kalnu klajumiem; tā Amona bērni tapa pazemoti Israēla bērnu priekšā.
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.
Kad nu Jeftus nāca uz Micpu pie sava nama, redzi, tad viņa meita viņam izgāja pretī ar bungām un stabulēm, un viņa bija tikai viņa vienīgā, un viņam nebija bez tās ne dēla ne meitas.
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 the LORD, and I can't break it."
Un kad viņš to redzēja, tad viņš saplosīja savas drēbes un sacīja: ak mana meita! Tu mani lauztin esi salauzusi un tu mani apbēdini, jo es savu muti esmu atdarījis Tā Kunga priekšā un nevaru atrauties,
36 She said to him, "My father, since you have given your word to the LORD; do to me as you promised, because the LORD has taken vengeance for you on your enemies, even on the people of Ammon."
Un viņa uz to sacīja: mans tēvs, ja tu savu muti Tā Kunga priekšā esi atdarījis, tad dari man, kā tas no tavas mutes gājis, kad Tas Kungs tevi atriebis pie taviem ienaidniekiem, Amona bērniem.
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."
Un viņa sacīja uz savu tēvu: lai man tā notiek; dod man vaļu divus mēnešus, ka es eju un noeju kalnos un apraudu savu jumpravību, es ar savām biedrenēm.
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.
Un viņš sacīja: ej! Un viņš to atlaida divus mēnešus. Tad viņa nogāja ar savām biedrenēm un apraudāja kalnos savu jumpravību.
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,
Un pēc diviem mēnešiem tā griezās atpakaļ pie sava tēva, un viņš tai darīja pēc sava solījuma, ko viņš bija solījis, un viņa vīra neatzina.
40 that the daughters of Israel went yearly four days in a year to commemorate the daughter of Jephthah the Gileadite.
Un iekš Israēla palika par likumu, ka Israēla meitas ik gadus nogāja, Jeftus, tā Gileādieša, meitu, nožēlot četras dienas gadskārtā.
