Judges 11
1 Now Jephthah the Gileadite was a mighty man of valor, and he [was] the son of a harlot: and Gilead begat Jephthah.
Gilead tami Jephthah teh a thakaawmpounge ni teh tarankahawi poung e a tho, Gilead ni Jephthah a khe. A manu teh kâyawt e doeh.
2 And Gilead's wife bore him sons; and his wife's sons grew up, and they thrust out Jephthah, and said to him, Thou shalt not inherit in our father's house; for thou [art] the son of a strange woman.
Gilead yu ni a khe pouh e a capanaw a lungha toteh, Jephthah teh a hrek awh. Kaimouh koe awm hanh lawih, apa e râw cungtalah na pang pawm mahoeh.
3 Then Jephthah fled from his brethren, and dwelt in the land of Tob: and there were gathered vain men to Jephthah, and [they] went out with him.
Jephthah teh a hmaunaw koehoi a yawng teh, Tob ram dawk kho a sak. Jephthah koe ka cungkeihoehe naw a kamkhueng awh teh a kâbang awh.
4 And it came to pass in process of time, that the children of Ammon made war against Israel.
Ammonnaw ni Isarelnaw a tuk hnukkhu hoi atueng sitca dawk hettelah ao.
5 And it was so, that when the children of Ammon made war against Israel, the elders of Gilead went to bring Jephthah out of the land of Tob:
Ammonnaw ni Isarel a tuk awh toteh, Gilead e a lungkahanaw ni Tob ram hoi Jephthah la hanlah a cei awh.
6 And they said to Jephthah, Come, and be our captain, that we may fight with the children of Ammon.
Hottelah Jephthah koevah, Ammonnaw tuk thai nahanlah tho leih, ransabawi lah na awm pou leih atipouh awh.
7 And Jephthah said to the elders of Gilead, Did ye not hate me, and expel me from my father's house; and why have ye come to me now when ye are in distress?
Jephthah ni Gilead e kacuenaw koe na hmuhma awh teh, apa im hoi na pâlei awh nahoehmaw. Bangkongmaw atu na ngaikhawk torei teh kai koe bout na tho awh telah atipouh.
8 And the elders of Gilead said to Jephthah, Therefore we turn again to thee now, that thou mayest go with us, and fight against the children of Ammon, and be our head over all the inhabitants of Gilead.
Gilead e kacuenaw ni Jephthah koevah, hete kecu dawk nahoehmaw Ammonnaw tuk hanelah nang koelah bout ka kamlang awh vaw. Hahoi Gilead kaawmnaw pueng lathueng vah a lû lah awm loe atipouh awh.
9 And Jephthah said to the elders of Gilead, If ye bring me home again to fight against the children of Ammon, and the LORD deliver them before me, shall I be your head?
Jephthah ni Gilead e kacuenaw koe, Ammonnaw tuk hanelah im bout na bankhai awh teh, BAWIPA ni ahnimanaw koe, koe na poe pawiteh kahrawikung lah kaawm katang han vaimoe telah atipouh.
10 And the elders of Gilead said to Jephthah, The LORD be a witness between us, if we do not so according to thy words.
Gilead e kacuenaw ni, na lawk patetlah lah ka sak awh hoehpawiteh, BAWIPA ni mamouh rahak vah kapanuekkhaikung lah awm seh atipouh awh.
11 Then Jephthah went with the elders of Gilead, and the people made him head and captain over them: and Jephthah uttered all his words before the LORD in Mizpeh.
Hahoi, Jephthah ni Gilead e kacuenaw koe a cei teh, lû hoi ransabawi lah a coung. Mizpah kho vah, Jephthah ni BAWIPA hmalah hote lawknaw pueng hah a dei.
12 And Jephthah sent messengers to the king of the children of Ammon, saying, What hast thou to do with me, that thou hast come against me to fight in my land?
Jephthah ni Ammonnaw e siangpahrang koevah, kai na tarankhai hanelah bangmaw kaawm. Kai tuk hanelah ka ram dawk na tho awh, telah patounenaw a patoun.
13 And the king of the children of Ammon answered to the messengers of Jephthah, Because Israel took away my land, when they came out of Egypt, from Arnon even to Jabbok, and to Jordan: now therefore restore those [lands] again peaceably.
Ammonnaw e siangpahrang ni, Isarelnaw Izip ram hoi a tâco navah, ka ram hah Arnon hoi Jabbok hoi Jordan totouh na la awh kecu dawkvah, hote ramnaw hah pâdingsuelah duem na poe leih, telah Jephthah e patounenaw koe a dei pouh awh.
14 And Jephthah sent messengers again to the king of the children of Ammon:
Jephthah ni Ammonnaw e siangpahrang koe patounenaw bout a patoun.
15 And said to him, Thus saith Jephthah, Israel took not away the land of Moab, nor the land of the children of Ammon:
Ahni koe Jephthah ni hettelah a dei pouh. Isarelnaw ni Moab ram na lat pouh hoeh. Ammonnaw e ram hai bout lat hoeh.
16 But when Israel came up from Egypt, and walked through the wilderness to the Red sea, and came to Kadesh;
Bangkongtetpawiteh, Izip ram hoi a tâco navah, kahrawngkadi pueng dawkvah, tuipui paling totouh paloupalou a cei awh teh Kadesh a pha awh.
17 Then Israel sent messengers to the king of Edom, saying, Let me, I pray thee, pass through thy land: but the king of Edom would not hearken [to it]. And in like manner they sent to the king of Moab; but he would not [consent]. And Israel abode in Kadesh.
Hahoi teh Isarel ni Edom siangpahrang koevah, pahren lahoi na ram dawk kai pou na cetsak lah titeh patounenaw a patoun. Hatei, Edom siangpahrang ni a hnâ bawt pouh hoeh. Moab siangpahrang koe laicei bout a patoun haiyah, ceinae kâ poe hoeh. Hahoi Isarelnaw teh Kadesh vah sut ao awh.
18 Then they went along through the wilderness, and compassed the land of Edom, and the land of Moab, and came by the east side of the land of Moab, and pitched on the other side of Arnon, but came not within the border of Moab: for Arnon [was] the border of Moab.
Ramke koelah pou a cei awh teh, Edom hoi Moab hah a roun awh. Moab ram kanîtho lahoi a cei awh teh, Arnon namran lah a roe awh. Moab ram thung dawk roeroe kâen awh hoeh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, Arnon palang teh Moab ramri doeh.
19 And Israel sent messengers to Sihon king of the Amorites, the king of Heshbon; and Israel said to him, Let us pass, we pray thee, through thy land to my place.
Hahoi Isarelnaw ni Amor siangpahrang Sihon, Heshbon siangpahrang koe patounenaw a patoun. Isarelnaw ni ahnimouh koe kamamae hmuen koe ka pâtam navah pahren lahoi na ram dawk pou ka cei awh han atipouh.
20 But Sihon trusted not Israel to pass through his border: but Sihon collected all his people, and encamped in Jahaz, and fought against Israel.
Hatei, Sihon ni Isarelnaw ni a ram dawk a raka hane a yuem hoeh dawkvah, a taminaw pueng a pâkhueng teh Jahaz kho king a kalup awh teh, Isarelnaw hah a tuk awh.
21 And the LORD God of Israel delivered Sihon and all his people into the hand of Israel, and they smote them: so Israel possessed all the land of the Amorites, the inhabitants of that country.
BAWIPA Isarel Cathut ni Sihon siangpahrang hoi a taminaw pueng hah Isarel kut dawk a poe teh, he a thei awh. Hahoi Isarelnaw ni hote Amornaw onae ram teh koung a pang awh.
22 And they possessed all the borders of the Amorites, from Arnon even to Jabbok, and from the wilderness even to Jordan.
Hahoi Amornaw e khori thung dawk Amor palang koehoi Jabbok palang totouh, ramke hoi Jordan palang totouh a pang awh.
23 So now the LORD God of Israel hath dispossessed the Amorites from before his people Israel, and shouldst thou possess it?
Hottelah Isarel BAWIPA Cathut ni, a tami Isarelnaw hmalah Amornaw ram hah a lawp pouh. Telah pawiteh, nang ni a ram na lawp han toung.
24 Wilt not thou possess that which Chemosh thy god giveth thee to possess? So whomsoever the LORD our God shall drive out from before us, them will we possess.
Na cathut Kemosh ni na ham lah na poe e pueng teh na pang hane nahoehmaw. Hottelah, BAWIPA Cathut ni, kaimouh ka hmalae a lawp e pueng teh ka pang han bokhei.
25 And now [art] thou any thing better than Balak the son of Zippor king of Moab? did he ever strive against Israel, or did he ever fight against them,
Moab siangpahrang Zippor capa Balak hlak na hawi maw. Ahni ni Isarel a taran teh, runae a poe boimaw. Ahni ni Isarel a tuk boimaw.
26 While Israel dwelt in Heshbon and her towns, and in Aroer and her towns, and in all the cities that [are] along by the borders of Arnon, three hundred years? why therefore did ye not recover [them] within that time?
Isarel hah Heshbon hoi a khonaw, Aroer hoi a khonaw, Ammon khori khopuinaw pueng koe kum 300 totouh kho a sak awh navah, bangkongmaw tuk laipalah na o awh vaw.
27 Wherefore I have not sinned against thee, but thou doest me wrong to war against me: the LORD the Judge be judge this day between the children of Israel and the children of Ammon.
Hatdawkvah, nangmouh koe bang yonnae ca boehai ka sak awh hoeh. Nangmouh ni tuk han na ngai dawkvah, kaimouh tak dawk yonnae na sak awh. BAWIPA lawkcengkung ni atuvah, Isarelnaw hoi Ammonnaw rahak vah, lawkceng na lawiseh, atipouh.
28 But, the king of the children of Ammon hearkened not to the words of Jephthah which he sent him.
Hatei, Jephthah ni lawk a thui e hah Ammon siangpahrang ni ngai pouh hoeh.
29 Then the Spirit of the LORD came upon Jephthah, and he passed over Gilead, and Manasseh, and passed over Mizpeh of Gilead, and from Mizpeh of Gilead he passed over [to] the children of Ammon.
Hahoi teh, BAWIPA e Muitha Jephthah tak dawk a pha teh Gilead hoi Manasseh ram hah a rakan teh, Gilead ram Mizpah vah pou a cei awh. Hahoi Gilead hoi Mizpah hoi Ammonnaw koe pou a cei awh.
30 And Jephthah vowed a vow to the LORD, and said, If thou shalt without fail deliver the children of Ammon into my hands,
Jephthah ni BAWIPA koe lawk a kam teh, Ammonnaw heh ka kut dawk na poe katang pawiteh,
31 Then it shall be, that whatever cometh out of the doors of my house to meet me, when I return in peace from the children of Ammon, shall surely be the LORD'S, and I will offer it for a burnt-offering.
hettelah ao han. Ammonnaw koehoi hnâroumcalah ka ban pawiteh, ka im takhang koehoi hmaloe na ka dawn e pueng teh, BAWIPA nange lah ao han. Hmaisawi thuengnae koe ka hno han telah a ti.
32 So Jephthah passed over to the children of Ammon to fight against them; and the LORD delivered them into his hands.
Hahoi teh, Jephthah teh Ammonnaw tuk hanlah a kamthaw teh, BAWIPA ni ahnimouh teh a kut dawk a poe.
33 And he smote them from Aroer even till thou comest to Minnith, [even] twenty cities, and to the plain of the vineyards, with a very great slaughter. Thus the children of Ammon were subdued before the children of Israel.
Aroer hoi Minnith totouh khopui 20 touh a tâ. Abelkeramim vah kâtheikârawngnae kalenpoung ao. Hot patetlah, Ammonnaw teh Isarelnaw hmalah a sung awh.
34 And Jephthah came to Mizpeh to his house, and behold, his daughter came out to meet him with timbrels and with dances: and she [was his] only child; beside her he had neither son nor daughter.
Jephthah teh a onae im Mizpah a pha toteh, hawvah a canu ni cecak khawng hoi lam laihoi a dawn hanelah a tho. A canu a tawn e dueng doeh, alouke pihai awm hoeh.
35 And it came to pass, when he saw her, that he rent his clothes, and said Alas, my daughter! thou hast brought me very low, and thou art one of them that trouble me: for I have opened my mouth to the LORD, and I cannot go back.
Oe hahoi teh hettelah doeh. A canu lawn a hmu toteh, ahni a ravei teh, Oe ka canu rahim doeh na pabo toe, nang teh kai runae na kapoekung lah na o toe. Bangkongtetpawiteh, BAWIPA koe ka pahni yo ka ang toe. Hote hah bout ka hno thai mahoeh toe, telah a ti.
36 And she said to him, My father, [if] thou hast opened thy mouth to the LORD, do to me according to that which hath proceeded out of thy mouth; forasmuch as the LORD hath taken vengeance for thee of thy enemies, [even] of the children of Ammon.
Napui ni a na pa koe, apa BAWIPA koe na pahni yo na ang boum teh na kâko hoi ka tâcawt e na lawk patetlah kai ka tak dawk sak yawkaw. Bangkongtetpawiteh, BAWIPA ni na taran Ammonnaw hah na lungkuep nahan na tâ sak toe.
37 And she said to her father, Let this thing be done for me: Let me alone two months, that I may go up and down upon the mountains, and bewail my virginity, I and my fellows.
Hahoi teh a na pa koevah telah ka sak vai, thapa yung hni touh thung, kamadueng vaiteh, mon dawkvah, tanglakacuem lah ka onae, ka huinaw hoi ka khuikapkhai eivai, atipouh.
38 And he said, Go. And he sent her away [for] two months: and she went with her companions, and bewailed her virginity upon the mountains.
Ahni ni cet awh yawkaw atipouh. Hateh thapa yung hni touh o hanelah a kamthaw. A cei awh teh, ama hoi a huinaw hoi mon dawk tanglakacuem lah onae a khui awh.
39 And it came to pass at the end of two months, that she returned to her father, who did with her [according] to his vow which he had vowed: and she knew no man. And it was a custom in Israel,
Hahoi thapa yung hni touh ao hnukkhu, a na pa koe bout a tho teh, ahni ni lawk a kam e patetlah a tak dawk a sak teh, tongpa panuek hoeh toe.
40 [That] the daughters of Israel went yearly to lament the daughter of Jephthah the Gileadite four days in a year.
Hahoi Isarelnaw thung dawkvah, Isarel canunaw ni Gilead tami Jephthah canu teh kumtangkuem hnin pali touh thung lungmathoe khuikanae lah pou a hno pouh awh. Hothateh, Isarelnaw e phung doeh.
