< 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.
Jefuta muGireadhi, akanga ari murwi ane simba. Baba vake vainzi Gireadhi; mai vake vakanga vari chifeve.
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.
Mukadzi waGireadhi akamuberekerawo vanakomana, uye vakati vakura, vakadzinga Jefuta. Vakati, “Iwe hauna nhaka ipi zvayo yauchawana mumhuri yedu, nokuti uri mwanakomana womumwe mukadzi.”
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.
Saka Jefuta akatiza kubva pavanunʼuna vake akandogara munyika yeTobhi, uko kwaakandounganirwa navarume vakaipa uye vakamutevera.
4 And it was from days and they fought [the] people of Ammon with Israel.
Mushure menguva yakati kuti, vaAmoni vakarwa navaIsraeri,
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.
Vakuru veGireadhi vakaenda kundotora Jefuta kubva kunyika yeTobhi.
6 And they said to Jephthah come! and you will become of us a commander so let us fight against [the] people of Ammon.
Vakati, “Uya uzova mutungamiri wehondo, kuti tigorwa navaAmoni.”
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.
Jefuta akati kwavari, “Hamuna kundivenga here mukandidzinga mumba mababa vangu? Sei mava kuuya kwandiri zvino, imi mava munhamo?”
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.
Vakuru veGireadhi vakati kwaari, “Zvisinei hazvo, isu hedu tiri kudzokera kwamuri iye zvino; handei tose kundorwa navaAmoni, uye muchava mukuru wedu pamusoro pavose vagere muGireadhi.”
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.
Jefuta akapindura akati, “Ngatimboti madzokera neni kundorwa navaAmoni uye Jehovha akavapa kwandiri, ndichava mukuru wenyu zvechokwadi here?”
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.
Vakuru veGireadhi vakapindura vakati, “Jehovha ndiye chapupu chedu; zvirokwazvo tichaita sezvaunoreva.”
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.
Saka Jefuta akaenda navakuru veGireadhi, vanhu vakamuita mukuru wavo uye nomutungamiri wehondo. Uye akadzokorora mashoko ake ose pamberi paJehovha muMizipa.
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.
Ipapo Jefuta akatuma nhume kuna mambo wavaAmoni nomubvunzo wokuti, “Mhosva yamunayo nesu ndeyeiko zvamunorwisa nyika yedu?”
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.
Mambo wavaAmoni akapindura nhume dzaJefuta achiti, “VaIsraeri pavakabuda muIjipiti, vakatora nyika yangu kubva kuArinoni kusvikira kuJabhoki, kwose nokuJorodhani. Zvino idzosei norugare.”
14 And he repeated again Jephthah and he sent messengers to [the] king of [the] people of Ammon.
Jefuta akatumazve nhume kuna mambo wavaAmoni
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.
achiti, “Zvanzi naJefuta: Israeri haina kutora nyika yeMoabhu kana nyika yavaAmoni.
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.
Asi pavakabuda muIjipiti, Israeri yakaenda nomurenje kusvikira kuGungwa Dzvuku uye nokumusoro kuKadheshi.
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.
Ipapo Israeri yakatuma nhume kuna mambo weEdhomu, ichiti, ‘Titendereiwo kupfuura nomunyika yenyu,’ asi mambo weEdhomu akaramba kunzwa. Vakatumawo nhume kuna mambo weMoabhu, naiyewo akaramba. Saka vakagara paKadheshi.
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.
“Shure kwaizvozvo vakafamba nomurenje, vachitenderera nyika dzeEdhomu neMoabhu, vakandodzika musasa kuno rumwe rutivi rweArinoni. Havana kupinda munyika yeMoabhu, nokuti Arinoni waiva muganhu wayo.
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.
“Ipapo vaIsraeri vakatuma nhume kuna Sihoni mambo wavaAmori, akanga achitonga muHeshibhoni, akati kwaari, ‘Titendereiwo kupfuura nomunyika yenyu tichienda kunzvimbo yedu.’
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.
Kunyange zvakadaro, Sihoni haana kuvimba navaIsraeri kuti vapfuure nomunyika yake. Akaunganidza vanhu vake vose vakandodzika musasa paJahazi uye vakarwa navaIsraeri.
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.
“Ipapo Jehovha, Mwari waIsraeri, akaisa Sihoni navanhu vake vose mumaoko avaIsraeri, uye vakavakunda. Israeri yakatora nyika yose yavaAmori vaigara munyika iyo,
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.
vakaitapa yose kubva paArinoni kusvikira kuJabhoki uye kubva kurenje kusvikira kuJorodhani.
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.
“Zvino sezvo Jehovha, Mwari waIsraeri akadzinga vaAmori pamberi pavanhu vake Israeri, iwe une kodzero ipi yokuti uitore?
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.
Ko, hautori here zvaunopiwa namwari wako Kemoshi? Naizvozvo zvose zvatinopiwa naJehovha Mwari wedu, ndizvo zvatichatora.
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.
Ko, iwe uri nani kupfuura Bharaki mwanakomana waZipori mambo weMoabhu here? Akambopopotedzana navaIsraeri kana kurwa navo here?
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.
Israeri yakagara muHeshibhoni, Aroeri, nemisha yakapoteredza uye namaguta ose akatarisana neArinoni. Wakaregereiko kuatora panguva iyoyo?
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.
Ini handina kukutadzira asi iwe ndiwe wava kundikanganisira nokuda kurwa neni. Jehovha, iye mutongi ngaatonge, ngaatonge gakava iri nhasi riri pakati pavaIsraeri navaAmoni.”
28 And not he listened [the] king of [the] people of Ammon to [the] words of Jephthah which he sent to him.
Kunyange zvakadaro, mambo weAmoni, haana kuteerera nhume dzaJefuta dzaakatuma.
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.
Ipapo Mweya waJehovha wakauya pamusoro paJefuta. Akayambuka Gireadhi neManase, akapfuura napaMizipa yeGireadhi, uye kubva ipapo akafamba akandorwa navaAmoni.
30 And he vowed Jephthah a vow to Yahweh and he said certainly [if] you will give [the] people of Ammon in hand my.
Uye Jefuta akaita mhiko kuna Jehovha akati, “Kana mukaisa vaAmoni mumaoko angu,
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.
chose chichabuda napamukova weimba yangu kuzosangana neni pakudzoka kwangu ndakunda vaAmoni, chichava chaJehovha, uye ndichachibayira sechipiriso chinopiswa.”
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.
Ipapo Jefuta akabuda kundorwa navaAmoni, uye Jehovha akavapa mumaoko ake.
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.
Akaparadza maguta makumi maviri kubva kuAroeri kusvikira pedyo neMiniti, akandoguma kuAbheri Keramimi. Nokudaro Israeri yakakunda Amoni.
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.
Jefuta akati odzokera kumusha kwake kuMizipa, ndiani akazouya kuzomuchingamidza kunze kwomwanasikana wake, achitamba, matambureni achiridzwa! Ndiye akanga achingova mwana wake oga. Akanga asina mwanakomana kana mwanasikana kunze kwake iye oga.
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.
Akati achimuona akabvarura nguo dzake uye akachema achiti, “Haiwa mwanasikana wangu! Wandishungurudza nokuti ndaita mhiko kuna Jehovha yandisingagoni kuputsa.”
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.
Akapindura akati, “Baba vangu, mapa shoko renyu kuna Jehovha. Ndiitirei henyu sezvamakavimbisa, sezvo zvino Jehovha akatsivira vavengi venyu, ivo vaAmoni.
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)*)
Asi nditenderei henyu chikumbiro chimwe chete ichi. Ndipei henyu mwedzi miviri kuti ndiende kuzvikomo ndinochema pamwe chete neshamwari dzangu, nokuti handichazowanikwi.”
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.
Iye akati, “Ungaenda hako.” Uye akamutendera kuti aende kwemwedzi miviri. Iye navamwe vasikana vakaenda kuzvikomo vakandochema nokuti akanga asingazombowanikwi.
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.
Shure kwemwedzi miviri akadzoka kuna baba vake uye vakaita kwaari sezvavakanga vapika. Uye akanga ari mhandara. Ndipo pakabva tsika yavaIsraeri
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.
yokuti gore rimwe nerimwe, vanasikana veIsraeri vanobuda kwamazuva mana kundoita chirangaridzo chomwanasikana waJefuta muGireadhi.
