< 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.
Alò, Jephthé, Galaadit la, te yon gèrye plen kouraj. Li te fis a yon pwostitiye. Galaad se te papa a Jephté
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.
Madanm a Galaad te ba li fis yo; epi lè fis sa yo te vin grandi, yo te kouri dèyè Jephthé, mete li deyò e te di li: “Ou p ap fè eritaj lakay papa nou, paske ou se fis a yon lòt fanm.”
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.
Konsa, Jephthé te sove ale devan frè li yo, pou li te viv nan peyi Tob la. Sanzave yo te rasanble yo antoure Jephthé e yo te konn ale andeyò avèk li.
4 And it was from days and they fought [the] people of Ammon with Israel.
Li te vin rive apre yon tan ke fis Ammon yo te goumen kont Israël.
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.
Lè fis Ammon yo te goumen kont Israël, ansyen nan Galaad yo te ale jwenn Jephthé nan peyi Tob la.
6 And they said to Jephthah come! and you will become of us a commander so let us fight against [the] people of Ammon.
Konsa, yo te di a Jephthé: “Vin fè chèf sou nou pou nou kab goumen kont fis Ammon yo.”
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.
Jephthé te reponn a ansyen Galaad yo: “Èske nou pa t rayi mwen e chase mwen lwen lakay papa m? Poukisa, koulye a, nou vin devan m lè nou nan pwoblèm nan?”
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.
Ansyen Galaad yo te di a Jephthé: “Se pou rezon sa a ke nou gen tan retounen bò kote ou, pou ou kapab ale avèk nou, goumen avèk fis Ammon yo e vin chèf sou tout pèp Galaad la.”
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.
Pou sa, Jephthé te di a ansyen Galaad yo: “Si nou reprann mwen pou m kab goumen kont fis Ammon yo, epi SENYÈ a livre yo nan men m, èske mwen va devni chèf an tèt nou?”
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.
Ansyen a Galaad yo te di a Jephthé: “SENYÈ a se temwen antre nou. Anverite, nou va fè sa ou mande nou fè a.”
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.
Konsa, Jephthé te ale avèk ansyen Galaad yo, e pèp la te fè li chèf sou yo. Konsa, Jephthé te pale tout pawòl li yo devan SENYÈ a nan Mitspa.
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.
Jephthé te voye mesaje a wa a fis Ammon yo. Li te di: “Kisa ki gen antre ou menm avèk mwen menm, pou nou vin kote m pou goumen kont peyi mwen?”
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.
Wa a fis Ammon yo te di a mesaje Jephthé yo: “Akoz Israël te pran peyi mwen lè yo te vin monte sòti an Egypte, jis soti nan Arnon pou rive Jabbok avèk Jourdain an. Konsa, remèt mwen yo koulye a, nan lapè.”
14 And he repeated again Jephthah and he sent messengers to [the] king of [the] people of Ammon.
Men Jephthé te voye mesaje yo ankò vè wa a fis Ammon yo.
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.
Li te di li yo: “Konsa pale Jephthé: “Israël pa t pran peyi Moab, ni peyi fis Ammon yo.
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.
Paske, lè yo te monte sòti an Egypte, Israël te pase nan dezè a pou rive nan Lamè Wouj e te vin Kadès.
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.
Alò, Israël te voye mesaje yo vè wa Édom an, pou te di: ‘Souple, lese nou travèse peyi nou an,’ men wa a Édom an te refize koute. Ankò, yo te voye wa Moab la, men li pa t dakò. Konsa, Israël te rete Kadès.
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.
Epi yo te pase nan dezè a pou evite peyi Édom avèk Moab la. Yo te rive nan lizyè lès a Moab la e yo te fè kan an lòtbò Arnon an, men yo pa t antre nan teren Moab la, paske Arnon an se te lizyè Moab.
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.
Konsa, Israël te voye mesaje a Sihon yo, wa Amoreyen yo, ak wa a Hesbon an. Israël te di li: “Souple, kite nou pase nan teritwa pa ou a pou rive nan plas nou.”
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 pa t mete konfyans an Israël pou pase nan teritwa pa li a. Pou sa, Sihon te ranmase tout pèp li a, e te fè kan nan Jahats pou te goumen avèk Israël.
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.
SENYÈ a, Bondye a Israël la, te meteSihon avèk tout pèp li a nan men Israël la, e yo te genyen yo. Konsa, Israël la te vin posede tout teren a Amoreyen yo, pèp a peyi sila yo.
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.
Epi yo te vin posede tout teren a Amoreyen yo, soti nan Arnon an, jis rive nan Jabbok la, e soti nan dezè a jis rive nan Jourdain an.
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.
Depi alò, SENYÈ a te chase Amoreyen yo, Li te fè yo sòti nan teren an devan pèp Israël la, èske koulye a, ou menm ap vin antre pou posede li?
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.
Èske nou pa posede deja sa ke Kemosch, dye pa nou an, te bannou pou posede a? Konsa nenpòt sa ke SENYÈ a te chase devan nou, nou va posede li.
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.
Alò, èske ou pi bon ke Balak, fis a Tsippor a, wa Moab la? Èske li te janm fè traka pou Israël, oswa èske li te janm goumen kont yo?
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.
Pandan Israël te rete Hesbon avèk bouk pa li yo, nan Aroër avèk bouk pa li yo ak nan vil ki arebò Arnon an, pandan twa-san ane, poukisa nou pa t rekouvri yo pandan tan sa a?
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.
Konsa, mwen pa t peche kont nou, men nou te fè m tò lè nou te fè lagè kont mwen. Ke SENYÈ a, Jij la, jije jodi a antre fis Israël yo ak fis a Ammon yo.”
28 And not he listened [the] king of [the] people of Ammon to [the] words of Jephthah which he sent to him.
Men wa a fis Ammon yo te refize koute mesaj ke Jephthé te voye ba li a.
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.
Alò, Lespri SENYÈ a te vini sou Jephthé. Li te pase travèse Galaad avèk Manassé, epi li te pase travèse Mitspé nan Galaad pou te rive vè fis Ammon yo.
30 And he vowed Jephthah a vow to Yahweh and he said certainly [if] you will give [the] people of Ammon in hand my.
Jephthé te fè yon ve bay SENYÈ a, e te di: “Si Ou va vrèman ban mwen fis Ammon yo nan men m,
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.
konsa, li va rive ke nenpòt sa ki sòti nan pòt lakay mwen pou rankontre mwen lè m retounen anpè soti nan fis Ammon yo, li va pou SENYÈ a. Epi mwen va ofri li kòm yon ofrann brile.”
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.
Konsa, Jephthé te travèse vè fis Ammon yo pou goumen kont yo; epi SENYÈ a te mete yo nan men li.
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.
Li te frape yo avèk yon trè gran masak soti nan Aroër jis rive nan antre Minnith, ven vil e jis rive nan Abel-Keramim. Konsa, fis Ammon yo te jete ba devan fis Israël yo.
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.
Lè Jephthé te rive vè kay li nan Mitspa, men vwala, fi li a te vin parèt pou rankontre li avèk tanbouren ak dans. Alò, li te sèl pitit li. Sof ke li menm, li pa t gen ni fis ni fi.
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.
Lè li te wè li, li te chire rad li e te di: “Anmwey, pitit mwen, ou mete m ba nèt e ou pami sila yo ki twouble m yo. Paske, mwen te bay pawòl mwen a SENYÈ a, e mwen p ap kab reprann li.”
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.
Konsa li te di li: “Papa m, ou te bay pawòl ou a SENYÈ a. Fè avè m sa ou te di a, akoz SENYÈ a te fè vanjans sou lènmi ou yo, fis a Ammon yo.”
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)*)
Li te di a papa li: “Sèlman, kite bagay sa a fèt; lese mwen pou kont mwen pandan de mwa, pou mwen kapab ale nan mòn yo pou m kab kriye akoz ke m toujou vyèj, mwen menm avèk zami mwen yo.
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.
Epi li te reponn: “Ale.” Konsa, li te voye li sòti pandan de mwa. Li te ale avèk zanmi li yo pou te kriye sou mòn yo akoz li te vyèj.
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.
Nan fen de mwa yo, li te retounen vè papa li ki te aji ak li selon ve ke li te fè a. Li pa t gen relasyon avèk gason. Konsa, sa te vin yon koutim an Israël,
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.
pou fi a Israël yo te ale chak ane pandan kat jou an memwa fi Jephthé la, Galaadit la.
