Judges 11
1 And Jephthah the Gileadite he was a mighty [man] of strength and he [was] [the] son of a woman a prostitute and he fathered Gilead Jephthah.
Gileaditen Jefta var en dygtig Kriger. Han var Søn af en Skøge. Gilead avlede Jefta.
2 And she bore [the] wife of Gilead to him sons and they grew up [the] sons of the wife and they drove out Jephthah and they said to him not you will have an inheritance in [the] house of father our for [are] [the] son of a woman another you.
Men Gileads Hustru fødte ham Sønner, og da de voksede op, jog de Jefta bort med de Ord: »Du skal ikke have Arv og Lod i vor Faders Hus, thi du er en fremmed Kvindes Søn!«
3 And he fled Jephthah [away] from before brothers his and he dwelt in [the] land of Tob and they joined themselves to Jephthah men unprincipled and they went out with him.
Jefta flygtede da for sine Brødre og bosatte sig i Landet Tob, hvor nogle daarlige Folk samlede sig om ham og deltog i hans Strejftog.
4 And it was from days and they fought [the] people of Ammon with Israel.
Efter nogen Tids Forløb angreb Ammoniterne Israel.
5 And it was just when they fought [the] people of Ammon with Israel and they went [the] elders of Gilead to fetch Jephthah from [the] land of Tob.
Og da Ammoniterne angreb Israel, drog Gileads Ældste hen for at hente Jefta hjem fra Landet Tob.
6 And they said to Jephthah come! and you will become of us a commander so let us fight against [the] people of Ammon.
De sagde til Jefta: »Kom og vær vor Fører, at vi kan tage Kampen op med Ammoniterne!«
7 And he said Jephthah to [the] elders of Gilead ¿ not you did you hate me and did you drive out? me from [the] house of father my and why? have you come to me now just when [is] distress to you.
Jefta svarede Gileads Ældste: »Har I ikke hadet mig og jaget mig bort fra min Faders Hus? Hvorfor kommer I da til mig, nu I er i Nød?«
8 And they said [the] elders of Gilead to Jephthah therefore now we have returned to you and you will come with us and you will fight against [the] people of Ammon and you will become of us chief of all [the] inhabitants of Gilead.
Men Gileads Ældste sagde til Jefta: »Derfor kommer vi jo nu tilbage til dig! Vil du drage med os og kæmpe med Ammoniterne, skal du være Høvding over os, over alle Gileads Indbyggere!«
9 And he said Jephthah to [the] elders of Gilead if [are] bringing back you me to fight against [the] people of Ammon and he will deliver up Yahweh them before me I I will become of you chief.
Jefta svarede Gileads Ældste: »Dersom I fører mig tilbage, for at jeg skal kæmpe med Ammoniterne, og HERREN giver dem i min Magt, saa vil jeg være eders Høvding!«
10 And they said [the] elders of Gilead to Jephthah Yahweh he will be hearing between us if not according to word your so we will do.
Da sagde Gileads Ældste til Jefta: »HERREN hører Overenskomsten mellem os; visselig vil vi gøre, som du siger!«
11 And he went Jephthah with [the] elders of Gilead and they made the people him over them into chief and into commander and he spoke Jephthah all words his before Yahweh in Mizpah.
Da drog Jefta med Gileads Ældste; og Folket gjorde ham til deres Høvding og Fører. Og alle sine Ord udtalte Jefta for HERRENS Aasyn i Mizpa.
12 And he sent Jephthah messengers to [the] king of [the] people of Ammon saying what? [is] to me and to you that you have come to me to wage war against land my.
Derpaa sendte Jefta Sendebud til Ammoniternes Konge og lod sige: »Hvad er der dig og mig imellem, siden du er draget imod mig for at angribe mit Land?«
13 And he said [the] king of [the] people of Ammon to [the] messengers of Jephthah that it took Israel land my when came up it from Egypt from [the] Arnon and to the Jabbok and to the Jordan and therefore restore! them in peace.
Ammoniternes Konge svarede Jeftas Sendebud: »Jo, Israel tog mit Land, da de drog op fra Ægypten, lige fra Arnon til Jabbok og Jordan; giv det derfor tilbage med det gode!«
14 And he repeated again Jephthah and he sent messengers to [the] king of [the] people of Ammon.
Men Jefta sendte atter Sendebud til Ammoniternes Konge
15 And he said to him thus he says Jephthah not it has taken Israel [the] land of Moab and [the] land of [the] people of Ammon.
og lod sige: »Saaledes siger Jefta: Israel har ikke taget Moabs eller Ammoniternes Land!
16 That when came up they from Egypt and it went Israel in the wilderness to [the] sea of reed[s] and it came Kadesh towards.
Men da de drog op fra Ægypten, vandrede Israel igennem Ørkenen til det røde Hav og kom derpaa til Kadesj.
17 And it sent Israel messengers - to [the] king of Edom - saying let me pass please in land your and not he listened [the] king of Edom and also to [the] king of Moab it sent and not he was willing and it remained Israel at Kadesh.
Da sendte Israel Sendebud til Edomiternes Konge og lod sige: Lad mig drage igennem dit Land! Men Edomiternes Konge ænsede det ikke. Ligeledes sendte de Bud til Moabiternes Konge, men han var heller ikke villig dertil. Israel blev da boende i Kadesj.
18 And it went in the wilderness and it went around [the] land of Edom and [the] land of Moab and it came from [the] rising of [the] sun of [the] land of Moab and they encamped! on [the] other side of [the] Arnon and not they went in [the] territory of Moab for [the] Arnon [was] [the] border of Moab.
Derpaa drog de igennem Ørkenen og gik uden om Edomiternes og Moabiternes, Land, og da de naaede Egnen østen for Moab, slog de Lejr hinsides Arnon; men de betraadte ikke Moabs Enemærker, thi Arnon er Moabs Grænse.
19 And it sent Israel messengers to Sihon [the] king of the Amorite[s] [the] king of Heshbon and it said to him Israel let us pass please in land your to own place my.
Israel sendte derpaa Sendebud til Kongen af Hesjbon, Amoriterkongen Sihon, og lod sige: Lad os drage igennem dit Land for at naa hen, hvor vi skal!
20 And not he trusted Sihon Israel to pass in territory his and he gathered Sihon all people his and they encamped at Jahaz and he fought with Israel.
Men Sihon nægtede Israeliterne Tilladelse til at drage gennem hans Land; og Sihon samlede hele sin Hær, og de slog Lejr i Jaza og angreb Israel.
21 And he gave Yahweh [the] God of Israel Sihon and all people his in [the] hand of Israel and they defeated them and it took possession of Israel all [the] land of the Amorite[s] [who] dwelt of the land that.
Da gav HERREN, Israels Gud, Sihon og hele hans Hær i Israels Haand, saa at de slog dem. Og Israel underlagde sig hele det Land, Amoriterne boede i;
22 And they took possession of all [the] territory of the Amorite[s] from [the] Arnon and to the Jabbok and from the wilderness and to the Jordan.
de underlagde sig hele Amoriternes Omraade fra Arnon til Jabbok og fra Ørkenen til Jordan.
23 And now Yahweh - [the] God of Israel he has dispossessed the Amorite[s] from before people his Israel and you will you take possession of? it.
Saaledes drev HERREN, Israels Gud, Amoriterne bort foran sit Folk Israel; og nu vil du underlægge dig deres Land!
24 ¿ Not [that] which he will cause to possess you Chemosh god your it will you take possession of and all that he has dispossessed Yahweh God our from before us it we will take possession of.
Ikke sandt, naar din Gud Kemosj driver nogen bort, saa tager du hans Land? Og hver Gang HERREN vor Gud driver nogen bort foran os, tager vi hans Land.
25 And now ¿ really good [are] you more than Balak [the] son of Zippor [the] king of Moab ¿ really did he quarrel with Israel or? ever did he wage war against them.
Er du vel bedre end Zippors Søn, Kong Balak af Moab? Stredes han med Israel, eller indlod han sig i Kamp med dem,
26 When dwelt Israel in Heshbon and in daughters its and in Aroer and in daughters its and in all the cities which [were] on [the] sides of [the] Arnon three hundred year[s] and why? not did you recover [them] at the time that.
da Israeliterne bosatte sig i Hesjbon med Smaabyer, i Aroer med Smaabyer og i alle Byerne langs Arnon nu har de boet der i 300 Aar? Hvorfor tilrev I eder dem ikke dengang?
27 And I not I have sinned to you and you [are] doing with me evil by waging war against me may he judge Yahweh the judge this day between [the] people of Israel and between [the] people of Ammon.
Det er ikke mig, der har forbrudt mig mod dig, men dig, der handler ilde mod mig ved at angribe mig. HERREN, Dommeren, vil i Dag dømme Israeliterne og Ammoniterne imellem!«
28 And not he listened [the] king of [the] people of Ammon to [the] words of Jephthah which he sent to him.
Men Ammoniternes Konge ænsede ikke Jeftas Ord, som hans Sendebud overbragte.
29 And it was on Jephthah [the] spirit of Yahweh and he passed through Gilead and Manasseh and he passed through Mizpah of Gilead and from Mizpah of Gilead he he passed on [the] people of Ammon.
Da kom HERRENS Aand over Jefta; og han drog igennem Gilead og Manasse; derpaa drog han til Mizpe i Gilead, og fra Mizpe i Gilead drog han mod Ammoniterne.
30 And he vowed Jephthah a vow to Yahweh and he said certainly [if] you will give [the] people of Ammon in hand my.
Og Jefta aflagde HERREN et Løfte og sagde: »Dersom du giver Ammoniterne i min Haand,
31 And it will be whatever comes out which it will come out from [the] doors of house my to meet me when return I in peace from [the] people of Ammon and it will belong to Yahweh and I will offer up it a burnt offering.
saa skal den, som først kommer mig i Møde fra min Husdør naar jeg vender uskadt, tilbage fra Ammoniterne, tilfalde HERREN, og jeg vil ofre ham som Brændoffer!«
32 And he passed on Jephthah to [the] people of Ammon to fight against them (and he gave them *L(abh)*) Yahweh in hand his.
Saa drog Jefta i Kamp mod Ammoniterne, og HERREN gav dem i hans Haand,
33 And he defeated them from Aroer and until coming you Minnith twenty citi[es] and to Abel Keramim a defeat great very and they were subdued [the] people of Ammon from before [the] people of Israel.
saa at han tilføjede dem et stort Nederlag fra Aroer til Egnen ved Minnit, tyve Byer, og til Abel-Keramim. Saaledes bukkede Ammoniterne under for Israeliterne.
34 And he came Jephthah Mizpah to house his and there! daughter his [was] coming out to meet him with tambourines and with dancing and only she [was] an only [child] not [belonged] to him from him a son or a daughter.
Men da Jefta kom til sit Hjem i Mizpa, se, da kom hans Datter ham i Møde med Haandpauker og Dans. Hun var hans eneste Barn foruden hende havde han hverken Søn eller Datter.
35 And it was when saw he her and he tore clothes his and he said alas! O daughter my certainly you have brought low me and you you are among [those who] trouble me and I I have opened mouth my to Yahweh and not I am able to turn back.
Da han fik Øje paa hende, sønderrev han sine Klæder og raabte: »Ak, min Datter, du har bøjet mig dybt, og det er dig, der styrter mig i Ulykke! Thi jeg har aabnet min Mund for HERREN og kan ikke tage mit Ord tilbage!«
36 And she said to him O father my you have opened mouth your to Yahweh do to me just as it has come out from mouth your after that he did for you Yahweh vengeance from enemies your from [the] people of Ammon.
Da svarede hun ham: »Fader, har du aabnet din Mund for HERREN, saa gør med mig, som dit Ord lød, nu da HERREN har skaffet dig Hævn over dine Fjender, Ammoniterne!«
37 And she said to father her let it be done for me the thing this refrain from me two months so let me go and I will go down on the mountains so I may weep on virginiti my I (and companions my. *Q(K)*)
Men hun sagde til sin Fader: »En Ting maa du unde mig: Giv mig to Maaneders Frist, saa jeg kan gaa omkring i Bjergene for at begræde min Jomfrustand sammen med mine Veninder!«
38 And he said go and he sent away her two months and she went she and companions her and she wept on virginiti her on the mountains.
Han sagde: »Gaa!« og lod hende drage bort i to Maaneder; og hun gik bort med sine Veninder for at begræde sin Jomfrustand i Bjergene.
39 And it was from [the] end of - two months and she returned to father her and he did to her vow his which he had vowed and she not she had known a man and it was a custom in Israel.
Da de to Maaneder var omme, vendte hun tilbage til sin Fader, og han fuldbyrdede det Løfte, han havde aflagt, paa hende; og hun havde ikke kendt Mand. Og det blev Skik i Israel,
40 From days - days towards they go [the] daughters of Israel to recount for [the] daughter of Jephthah the Gileadite four days in the year.
at Israels Døtre hvert Aar gaar hen for at klage over Gileaditen Jeftas Datter fire Dage om Aaret.
