Viongozi wa Gileadi wakamwambia Yefta, “Lakini sasa tumegeuka kukuelekea wewe, ili uende pamoja nasi kupigana na Waamoni, nawe utakuwa kiongozi wetu juu ya watu wote wa Gileadi.”

Basi Yefta akaenda na viongozi wa Gileadi, nao watu wakamfanya kiongozi na jemadari wao. Naye akarudia maneno yake yote mbele za Bwana huko Mispa.
12 and to send: depart Jephthah messenger to(wards) king son: descendant/people Ammon to/for to say what? to/for me and to/for you for to come (in): come to(wards) me to/for to fight in/on/with land: country/planet my
Ndipo Yefta akatuma wajumbe kwa mfalme wa Waamoni akisema, “Una nini juu yetu, hata umekuja kushambulia nchi yetu?”
13 and to say king son: descendant/people Ammon to(wards) messenger Jephthah for to take: take Israel [obj] land: country/planet my in/on/with to ascend: rise he from Egypt from Arnon and till [the] Jabbok and till [the] Jordan and now to return: rescue [emph?] [obj] them in/on/with peace
Mfalme wa Waamoni akawajibu wajumbe wale wa Yefta, “Wakati Waisraeli walipopanda kutoka Misri, waliichukua nchi yangu kuanzia Arnoni mpaka Yaboki, hadi kufikia Yordani. Sasa rudisha kwa amani.”
14 and to add: again still Jephthah and to send: depart messenger to(wards) king son: descendant/people Ammon
Yefta akarudisha wajumbe kwa mfalme wa Waamoni,
15 and to say to/for him thus to say Jephthah not to take: take Israel [obj] land: country/planet Moab and [obj] land: country/planet son: descendant/people Ammon
kusema: “Hili ndilo asemalo Yefta, Israeli hawakuchukua nchi ya Moabu wala ya Waamoni.
16 for in/on/with to ascend: rise they from Egypt and to go: went Israel in/on/with wilderness till sea Red (Sea) and to come (in): come Kadesh [to]
Lakini walipopanda kutoka Misri, Israeli walipitia katika jangwa hadi Bahari ya Shamu na wakafika Kadeshi.
17 and to send: depart Israel messenger to(wards) king Edom to/for to say to pass please in/on/with land: country/planet your and not to hear: hear king Edom and also to(wards) king Moab to send: depart and not be willing and to dwell Israel in/on/with Kadesh
Ndipo Israeli wakatuma wajumbe kwa mfalme wa Edomu, wakisema, ‘Tupe ruhusa kupita katika nchi yako,’ Lakini mfalme wa Edomu hakutusikia. Wakapeleka pia wajumbe kwa mfalme wa Moabu, naye akakataa. Kwa hiyo Israeli wakakaa huko Kadeshi.
18 and to go: walk in/on/with wilderness and to turn: surround [obj] land: country/planet Edom and [obj] land: country/planet Moab and to come (in): come from east sun to/for land: country/planet Moab and to camp [emph?] in/on/with side: beside Arnon and not to come (in): come in/on/with border: area Moab for Arnon border: boundary Moab
“Baadaye wakasafiri kupitia jangwa, wakiambaa na nchi za Edomu na Moabu, wakapitia upande wa mashariki wa nchi ya Moabu na kupiga kambi upande mwingine wa Arnoni. Hawakuingia katika nchi ya Moabu, kwa kuwa Arnoni ilikuwa mpaka wake.
19 and to send: depart Israel messenger to(wards) Sihon king [the] Amorite king Heshbon and to say to/for him Israel to pass please in/on/with land: country/planet your till place my
“Kisha Israeli wakatuma wajumbe kwa Sihoni mfalme wa Waamori, aliyetawala Heshboni, na kumwambia, ‘Tupe ruhusa kupita katika nchi yako ili kufikia mahali petu.’
20 and not be faithful Sihon [obj] Israel to pass in/on/with border: area his and to gather Sihon [obj] all people: soldiers his and to camp in/on/with Jahaz [to] and to fight with Israel
Hata hivyo, Sihoni hakuwaamini Waisraeli kupita katika nchi yake. Akaandaa jeshi lake lote na kupiga kambi huko Yahasa, nao wakapigana na Israeli.
21 and to give: give LORD God Israel [obj] Sihon and [obj] all people: soldiers his in/on/with hand: power Israel and to smite them and to possess: take Israel [obj] all land: country/planet [the] Amorite to dwell [the] land: country/planet [the] he/she/it
“Ndipo Bwana, Mungu wa Israeli, akamtia Sihoni na watu wake wote mikononi mwa Israeli, nao wakawashinda. Israeli wakaitwaa nchi yote ya Waamori, waliokuwa wakiishi katika nchi hiyo,
22 and to possess: take [obj] all border: area [the] Amorite from Arnon and till [the] Jabbok and from [the] wilderness and till [the] Jordan
wakiiteka nchi yote kuanzia Arnoni mpaka Yaboki, na kutoka jangwani mpaka Yordani.
23 and now LORD God Israel to possess: take [obj] [the] Amorite from face: before people his Israel and you(m. s.) to possess: take him
“Basi kwa kuwa Bwana, Mungu wa Israeli, amewafukuza Waamori watoke mbele ya watu wake Israeli, wewe unayo haki gani ya kuitamalaki?
24 not [obj] which to possess: possess you Chemosh God your [obj] him to possess: take and [obj] all which to possess: take LORD God our from face: before our [obj] him to possess: take
Je, haikupasi kuchukua kile ambacho mungu wako Kemoshi amekupa? Vivyo hivyo, chochote kile Bwana Mungu wetu alichotupa sisi, tutakimiliki.
25 and now be pleasing be pleasing you(m. s.) from Balak son: child Zippor king Moab to contend to contend with Israel if to fight to fight in/on/with them
Je, wewe ni bora kuliko Balaki mwana wa Sipori, mfalme wa Moabu? Je, yeye alishagombana na Israeli au kupigana nao wakati wowote?
26 in/on/with to dwell Israel in/on/with Heshbon and in/on/with daughter: village her and in/on/with Aroer and in/on/with daughter: village her and in/on/with all [the] city which upon hand: bank Arnon three hundred year and why? not to rescue in/on/with time [the] he/she/it
Kwa maana kwa miaka 300 Israeli wameishi Heshboni na vijiji vyake, Aroeri na vijiji vyake, na katika miji yote iliyo kando ya Arnoni. Kwa nini wewe haukuyachukua wakati huo?
27 and I not to sin to/for you and you(m. s.) to make: do with me distress: evil to/for to fight in/on/with me to judge LORD [the] to judge [the] day: today between son: descendant/people Israel and between son: descendant/people Ammon
Mimi sijakukosea jambo lolote, bali wewe ndiye unayenikosea kwa kufanya vita nami. Basi Bwana, aliye Mwamuzi, leo na aamue ugomvi kati ya Waisraeli na Waamoni.”
28 and not to hear: hear king son: descendant/people Ammon to(wards) word Jephthah which to send: depart to(wards) him
Hata hivyo, Mfalme wa Waamoni, hakuyajali maneno ya ujumbe wa Yefta.
29 and to be upon Jephthah spirit LORD and to pass [obj] [the] Gilead and [obj] Manasseh and to pass [obj] Mizpah Gilead and from Mizpah Gilead to pass son: descendant/people Ammon
Ndipo Roho wa Bwana akaja juu ya Yefta. Akapita katikati ya Gileadi na Manase, pia akapita katika Mispa ya Gileadi, na kutokea huko akasonga mbele kushambulia Waamoni.
30 and to vow Jephthah vow to/for LORD and to say if to give: give to give: give [obj] son: descendant/people Ammon in/on/with hand: power my
Naye Yefta akaweka nadhiri mbele za Bwana akisema, “Ikiwa utawatia Waamoni mikononi mwangu,
31 and to be [the] to come out: come which to come out: come from door house: home my to/for to encounter: meet me in/on/with to return: return I in/on/with peace from son: descendant/people Ammon and to be to/for LORD and to ascend: offer up him burnt offering
chochote kile kitakachotoka katika mlango wa nyumba yangu cha kwanza ili kunilaki nirudipo kwa amani katika kuwashinda Waamoni, kitakuwa ni cha Bwana na nitakitoa kuwa sadaka ya kuteketezwa.”
32 and to pass Jephthah to(wards) son: descendant/people Ammon to/for to fight in/on/with them (and to give: give them *L(abh)*) LORD in/on/with hand: power his
Ndipo Yefta akavuka kupigana na hao Waamoni, naye Bwana akawatia mkononi mwake.
33 and to smite them from Aroer and till to come (in): towards you Minnith twenty city and till Abel-keramim Abel-keramim wound great: large much and be humble son: descendant/people Ammon from face: before son: descendant/people Israel
Akawapiga kwa ushindi mkubwa kuanzia Aroeri mpaka karibu na Minithi na kuendelea mpaka Abel-Keramimu, miji yote iliyopigwa ni ishirini. Basi Israeli wakawashinda Waamoni.
34 and to come (in): come Jephthah [the] Mizpah to(wards) house: home his and behold daughter his to come out: come to/for to encounter: meet him in/on/with tambourine and in/on/with dance and except he/she/it only nothing to/for him from him son: child or daughter
Yefta aliporudi nyumbani Mispa, tazama, binti yake akatoka ili kumlaki kwa matari na kucheza. Alikuwa ndiye mtoto pekee, hakuwa na mwana wala binti mwingine.
35 and to be like/as to see: see he [obj] her and to tear [obj] garment his and to say alas! daughter my to bow to bow me and you(f. s.) to be in/on/with to trouble me and I to open lip my to(wards) LORD and not be able to/for to return: turn back
Alipomwona akararua mavazi yake akalia, “Ee! Binti yangu! Umenifanya niwe na huzuni na kunyongʼonyea sana, kwa kuwa nimeweka nadhiri kwa Bwana, ambayo siwezi kuivunja.”
36 and to say to(wards) him father my to open [obj] lip your to(wards) LORD to make: do to/for me like/as as which to come out: speak from lip your after which to make: do to/for you LORD vengeance from enemy your from son: descendant/people Ammon
Akajibu, “Baba yangu, umetoa neno lako kwa Bwana. Nitendee mimi kama vile ulivyoahidi, kwa kuwa Bwana amekupa ushindi dhidi ya adui zako Waamoni.”
37 and to say to(wards) father her to make: do to/for me [the] word: thing [the] this to slacken from me two month and to go: went and to go down upon [the] mountain: mount and to weep upon virginity my I (and companion my *Q(K)*)
Naye akamwambia baba yake, “Naomba nifanyiwe jambo hili. Nipewe miezi miwili ili kuzunguka vilimani nikaulilie ubikira wangu, mimi na wenzangu.”
38 and to say to go: went and to send: let go [obj] her two month and to go: went he/she/it and companion her and to weep upon virginity her upon [the] mountain: mount
Baba yake akamwambia, “Waweza kwenda.” Naye akamwacha aende kwa miezi miwili. Hivyo akaondoka pamoja na wasichana wenzake, naye akaulilia ubikira wake huko vilimani kwa sababu asingeolewa kamwe.
39 and to be from end two month and to return: return to(wards) father her and to make: do to/for her [obj] vow his which to vow and he/she/it not to know man and to be statute: decree in/on/with Israel
Baada ya hiyo miezi miwili, alirejea kwa baba yake, naye baba yake akamtendea kama alivyokuwa ametoa nadhiri yake. Naye alikuwa bikira. Nayo ikawa desturi katika Israeli,
40 from day: year day: year [to] to go: went daughter Israel to/for to recount to/for daughter Jephthah [the] Gileadite four day: year in/on/with year
kwamba kila mwaka binti wa Israeli huenda kwa siku nne ili kumkumbuka huyo binti wa Yefta, Mgileadi.
