Judges 11
1 [There was a man] from [the] Gilead [region] named Jephthah. He was a great warrior. His father was also named Gilead. But his mother was a prostitute.
Ita, ni Jefte a taga-Galaad ket maysa a natured a mannakigubat, ngem anak isuna ti maysa a balangkantis. Ni Galaad ti amana.
2 Gilead’s wife gave birth to several sons. When they grew up, they forced Jephthah to leave home, saying to him, “You are the son of a prostitute, [not the son of our mother]. So [when] our father [dies], you will not receive any of his property.”
Nangipasngay pay ti asawa ni Galaad kadagiti dadduma a putotna a lallaki. Idi dimmakkel dagiti annak a lallaki ti asawana, pinilitda ni Jefte a pumanaw iti balay ket kinunada kenkuana, “Saanka a makatawid iti uray ania manipud iti pamiliatayo. Anaknaka ti sabali a babai.”
3 So Jephthah ran away from his brothers, and he went to the Tob region. While he was there, some worthless men started to spend a lot of time with him.
Pinanawan ngarud ni Jefte dagiti kakabsatna ket nagnaed idiay daga ti Tob. Immay ken nakikaddua kenni Jefte dagiti lallaki a mangsalsalungasing iti linteg ket kimmuyogda kenkuana.
4 Some time later, the Ammon people-group started to fight against the Israelis.
Kalpasan ti sumagmamano nga aldaw, ginubat dagiti tattao ti Ammon ti Israel.
5 When that happened [DOU], the leaders of [the] Gilead [region] went to Jephthah to bring him back from the Tob region [to their area].
Idi ginubat dagiti tattao ti Ammon ti Israel, napan dagiti panglakayen iti Galaad tapno pagsublienda ni Jefte manipud iti daga ti Tob.
6 They said to him, “Come [with us] and lead our army, and [help us to] fight against the men from the Ammon people-group!”
Kinunada kenkuana, “Umayka ket idauloandakami tapno makirangettayo kadagiti tattao ti Ammon.”
7 But Jephthah replied, “You hated me [RHQ] previously! You forced me to leave my father’s house! So why are you coming to me now, [asking me to help you] when you are experiencing trouble?”
Kinuna ni Jefte kadagiti mangidadaulo ti Galaad. “Ginuradak ken pinilitdak a pumanaw iti balay ti amak. Apay nga umaykayo kaniak ita nga addaan kayo iti pakarigatan?”
8 The leaders from Gilead replied, “[Yes, we are having trouble, and] that is the reason that we have come to you now. If you come with us and [help us to] fight against the Ammon people-group, [after we defeat them, we will appoint] you to be the leader of all us people in [the] Gilead [region].”
Kinuna dagiti panglakayen ti Galaad kenni Jefte, “Dayta ti makagapu nga umas-asidegkami kenka ita; sumurotka kadakami ket makirangetka kadagiti tattao ti Ammon, ket sikanto ti mangidaulo kadagiti amin nga agnanaed iti Galaad.”
9 Jephthah replied, “If I go back to Gilead with you to fight against the Ammon people-group, and if Yahweh helps us to defeat them, will you truly appoint me to be your leader?”
Kinuna ni Jefte kadagiti panglakayen ti Galaad, “No iyawiddak manen tapno makiranget kadagiti tattao ti Ammon, ken no pagballigiennatayo ni Yahweh kadakuada, siakto ti agbalin a mangidadauloyo.”
10 They replied, “Yahweh is listening to everything that we say. [So he will punish us] if we do not do everything that you tell us to do.”
Kinuna dagiti panglakayen ti Galaad kenni Jefte, “Ni Yahweh koma ti agbalin a saksi iti nagbaetantayo no saantayo nga aramiden ti imbagatayo!”
11 So Jephthah went with them back to [the] Gilead [region], and the people appointed him to be their leader and the commander of their army. And Jephthah solemnly promised to Yahweh there at Mizpah [to serve him well].
Kimmuyog ngarud ni Jefte kadagiti panglakayen ti Galaad, ket pinagbalin dagiti tattao isuna a mangidaulo ken mangituray kadakuada. Idi adda isuna iti sangoanan ni Yahweh idiay Mizpa, inulit ni Jefte dagiti amin nga inkarina.
12 Jephthah sent some messengers to the king of the Ammon people-group. They asked the king, “What have we [done to make you angry, with the result] that your army is coming to fight [against the people] in our land?”
Kalpasanna, nangibaon ni Jefte kadagiti mensahero a mapan iti ari dagiti tattao ti Ammon, a kunana, “Ania daytoy a saan a pagkikinnaawatan iti nagbabaetantayo? Apay nga umayyo piliten nga alaen ti dagami?”
13 The king replied, “[We have come to fight against you Israelis because] you took our land when you came here from Egypt. You took all our land east of the Jordan [River], from the Arnon [River in the south] to the Jabbok [River in the north]. So if you now give it back to us, there (will be peace between us/we will not fight against you).”
Insungbat ti ari dagiti tattao ti Ammon kadagiti mensahero ni Jefte, “Gapu ta idi rimmuar ti Israel iti Egipto, inagawda ti dagak manipud iti Arnon agingga iti Jabbok, agingga iti ballasiw ti Jordan. Ita, isubliyo a sikakapia dagidiay a daga.
14 [The messengers returned to Jephthah and told him what the king had said]. So Jephthah sent the messengers to the king again.
Nangibaon manen ni Jefte kadagiti mensahero a mapan iti Ari dagiti tattao ti Ammon,
15 They said to him, “This is what Jephthah says: ‘It is not [true] that we Israelis took the land from the Moab people-group and the Ammon people-group.
ket kinunana, “Kastoy ti ibagbaga ni Jefte: saan nga inagaw ti Israel ti daga ti Moab ken ti daga dagiti tattao ti Ammon,
16 When the Israeli people came out of Egypt, they walked through the desert to the Red Sea, and then [walked across it and traveled to Kadesh town at the border of the Edom region].
ngem idi rimmuar ti Israel manipud Egipto, limmasatda iti let-ang agingga iti baybay dagiti Runo ken agingga iti Kades.
17 They sent messengers to the king of the Edom people-group, to say to him, “Please allow us Israelis to walk across your land.” But the king of the Edom people-group refused. Later we sent the same message to the king of the Moab people-group, but he also refused to allow the Israelis to go through his land. So the Israelis stayed at Kadesh [for a long time].
Nangibaon ti Israel kadagiti mensahero a mapan iti Ari ti Edom, a kunana, 'Pangngaasim ta palubosandakami a lumabas iti dagam,' ngem saan a dimngeg ti ari ti Edom. Nangibaonda pay kadagiti mensahero a mangibaga iti Ari ti Moab, ngem nagkedked isuna. Isu a nagtalinaed ti Israel idiay Kades.
18 Then the Israelis went into the desert and walked outside the borders of the Edom and Moab regions. They walked east of the Moab region, east of the Arnon [River, which is the eastern border of the Moab region]. They did not cross that river to enter [the] Moab [region].
Kalpasanna, limmasatda iti let-ang ket nanglikawda manipud iti daga ti Edom ken iti daga ti Moab, ken naglayunda iti akindaya a paset ti daga ti Moab ket nagkampoda iti ballasiw ti Arnon. Ngem saanda a simrek iti masakupan ti Moab, ta ti Arnon ti beddeng ti Moab.
19 ‘Then the Israelis sent a message to Sihon, the king of the Amor people-group, who lived in Heshbon [city]. They asked him, “Will you please allow us Israeli people to cross through your land to arrive at the land to which we [are going].”
Nangibaon ti Israel kadagiti mensahero a mapan kenni Sihon, nga ari dagiti Amorreo, a mangiturturay iti Hesbon: kinuna ti Israel kenkuana, 'Pangngaasim, palubosandakami a lumabas iti dagam a mapan iti daga a kukuami.'
20 But Sihon did not trust the Israelis; [he thought that they would steal some of the things in his land]. So he gathered all his troops and they set up their tents at Jahaz [village] and then they attacked the Israelis.
Ngem saan a nagtalek ni Sihon iti Israel a lumabas iti masakupanna. Inummong ngarud ni Sihon dagiti amin nga armadana ket nagturongda iti Jaaz, ket sadiay a nakiranget isuna iti Israel.
21 But Yahweh, the God whom we Israelis [worship], enabled the Israeli army to defeat [IDM] Sihon and his army. Then they (took possession of/started to live in) all the land where the Amor people-group had lived.
Ket ni Yahweh a Dios ti Israel, pinagballigina ti Israel maibusor kenni Sihon ken pinaiturayanna kadakuada dagiti amin a tattaona. Isu a tinagikua ti Israel dagiti amin a daga dagiti Amorreo, nga agnanaed iti dayta a pagilian.
22 The Israelis took all the land that belonged to the Amor people-group, from the Arnon [River in the south] to the Jabbok [River in the north], and from the desert [in the east] to the Jordan [River in the west].
Tinagikuada amin a banag nga adda iti masakupan dagiti Amorreo, manipud Arnon agingga iti Jabbok ken manipud iti let-ang agingga iti Karayan Jordan.
23 ‘It was Yahweh, the God whom we Israelis [worship], who forced the Amor people-group to leave as the Israelis advanced. So do you now think that you can force the Israelis to leave [RHQ]?
Isu a ni Yahweh ngarud a Dios ti Israel ti nangpapanaw kadagiti Amorreo iti sangoanan dagiti tattaona nga Israel, ken rumbeng aya a tagikuaem ita ti dagada?
24 You take the land that your god Chemosh has given to you. And we will live in the land that Yahweh our God has given to us!
Saanmo kadi a tagikuaen ti daga nga inted kenka ni Kemos a diosmo? Ket aniaman a daga nga inted kadakami ni Yahweh a Diosmi ket tagikuaenmi.
25 (You are no/Are you) better than Zippor’s son Balak, who was the king of the Moab people-group? He never [RHQ] quarreled with the Israeli people, and he never started to fight against us [RHQ]!
Pudno kadi a nalalaingka ita ngem ni Balak nga anak ni Sefor nga ari ti Moab? Naituredna kadi ti nakisinnupiat iti Israel? Nakigubat kadi isuna kadakuada?
26 For 300 years the Israeli people have lived in Heshbon and Aroer [cities in your region], and in the surrounding towns, and in all the cities along the Arnon [River]. Why have you people of the Ammon people-group not taken back those cities during all those years [RHQ]?
Kabayatan ti tallogasut a tawen a panagnaed ti Israel idiay Hesbon ken kadagiti barriona daytoy, idiay Aroer ken kadagiti barriona daytoy, ken kadagiti amin a siudad nga asideg iti igid ti Arnon-apay ngarud a saanmo a binabawi dagitoy kabayatan dayta a tiempo?
27 We have not sinned against you, but you are sinning against me by attacking me [and my army]. I trust that Yahweh, the great judge, will decide whether we Israelis are right, or whether you people of the Ammon people-group are right.’”
Awan ti naaramidko a saan a nasayaat kenka, ngem pagar-aramidannak iti saan a nasayaat babaen iti panangrarautmo kaniak. Ni Yahweh nga ukom ti mangikeddeng ita nga aldaw iti nagbaetan dagiti tattao ti Israel ken dagiti tattao ti Ammon.”
28 But the king of the Ammon people-group did not pay attention to that message from Jephthah.
Ngem saan nga inkankano ti ari dagiti tattao ti Ammon ti ballaag nga impatulod ni Jefte kenkuana.
29 Then the Spirit of Yahweh took control of Jephthah. Jephthah went through [the] Gilead [region] and through the area where the tribe of Manasseh lived, [to enlist/gather men for his army]. [He finally gathered them together] in Mizpah [city] in [the] Gilead [region] to fight against the Ammon people-group.
Kalpasanna, immay ti Espiritu ni Yahweh kenni Jefte, ket limmasat isuna iti Galaad ken Manases, ken limmasat isuna iti Mizpa iti Galaad, ken manipud iti Mizpa iti Galaad ket limmasat isuna kadagiti tattao ti Ammon.
30 There Jephthah made a solemn promise to Yahweh. He said, “If you will enable my army to defeat [IDM] the Ammon people-group,
Nagsapata ni Jefte kenni Yahweh ket kinunana, “No pagballigiennak maibusor kadagiti tattao ti Ammon
31 when I return from the battle, I will sacrifice to you the first person who comes out of my house [to greet me]. It will be a sacrifice that will be completely burned [on the altar].”
ket kukuanto ni Yahweh ti siasinoman a rummuar kadagiti ridaw ti balayko a sumabat kaniak inton agsubliak a sikakapia nga aggapu kadagiti tattao ti Ammon, ket idatonkonto daytoy a kas daton a maipuor amin.”
32 Then Jephthah [and his men] went from Mizpah to attack the Ammon people-group, and Yahweh enabled his army to defeat them.
Limmasat ngarud ni Jefte kadagiti tattao ti Ammon tapno makiranget kadakuada, ket pinagballigi ni Yahweh isuna.
33 Jephthah and his men killed them, from Aroer [city] all the way to the area around the city of Minnith. They destroyed 20 cities, as far as [the city of] Abel Keramim. So the Israelis [completely] defeated the Ammon people-group.
Rinautna ida ket adu unay ti napapatay manipud Aroer agingga iti Minnit-duapulo a siudad-ken agingga iti Abel Kerarim. Inturayan ngarud dagiti tattao ti Israel dagiti tattao ti Ammon.
34 When Jephthah returned to his home in Mizpah, his daughter was the first one to come out of the house to meet him. She was [joyfully] playing a tambourine and dancing. She was his only child; he had no sons and no other daughters.
Nagawid ni Jefte iti pagtaenganna idiay Mizpa, ket rimmuar sadiay ti putotna a babai nga agtuktukar iti pandereta ken agsalsala a sumabat kenkuana. Isuna laeng ti kakaisuna a putotna, malaksid kenkuana, awanen iti putotna a lalaki wenno babai.
35 When Jephthah saw his daughter, he tore his clothes [to show that he was very sad about what he was going to do]. He said to her, “My daughter, you have caused me to become very sad [DOU] because I made a solemn promise to Yahweh [to sacrifice the first one who came out of my house], and I must do what I promised.”
Apaman a nakitana ti anakna, rinay-abna ti pagan-anayna ket kinunana, “O! Anakko! Rinumeknak babaen iti ladingit, ket sika ti pakaigappuan ti pannakapasakitko! Ta nagsapataak kenni Yahweh, ket saankon a maibabawi ti inkarik.”
36 His daughter said, “My father, you made a solemn promise to Yahweh. So you must do to me what you promised, because [you said that you would do that if] Yahweh helped you to defeat our enemies, the Ammon people-group.”
Kinunana kenkuana, “Amak, nagsapataka kenni Yahweh, aramidem kaniak ti amin nga inkarim, gapu ta ni Yahweh ti nangibales para kenka kadagiti kabusormo nga Ammonita.”
37 Then she also said, “But allow me to do one thing. (First/before you do what you promised), allow me to go up into the hilly area and wander around for two months. Since I will never be married [and have children], allow me and my friends to go and cry together.”
Kinunana iti amana, “Matungpal koma daytoy a kari kaniak.” Panawannak nga agmamaysa iti dua a bulan, tapno makapanawak ken sumalog iti katurturodan ket pagladingitak ti kinabirhenko, siak ken dagiti kakaduak.”
38 Jephthah replied, “All right, you may go.” So she left for two months. She and her friends stayed in the hills and they cried for her because she would never be married.
Kinunana, “Mapanka.” Imbaonna ti anakna nga umadayo iti dua a bulan. Pinanawanna ti amana, kakuyogna dagiti kakaduana, ket nagladingitda iti kinabirhenna idiay katurturodan.
39 After two months, she returned to her father Jephthah, and he did to her what he had vowed. So his daughter never was married. Because of that, the Israelis now have a custom.
Iti panagleppas iti dua a bulan, nagsubli isuna iti amana a mangaramid kenkuana sigun iti insapatana. Ita, saanna a pulos napadasan ti nakikaidda iti maysa a lalaki, ket nagbalin daytoy a kaugalian idiay Israel
40 Every year the young Israeli women go [into the hills] for four days to remember [and cry about what happened to] the daughter of Jephthah.
iti uneg ti uppat nga aldaw iti tunggal tawen, istoriaen dagiti annak ti Israel ti maipanggep iti putot a babai ni Jefte a taga-Galaad.
