< Judges 11 >

1 And so in that tyme Jepte, a man of Galaad, was a ful strong man, and fiytere, the sone of a womman hoore, which Jepte was borun of Galaad.
Jeftha ja-Gilead ne jalweny mager. Wuon mare ne en Gilead, to min mare ne en ochot.
2 Forsothe Galaad hadde a wijf, of which he hadde sones, whiche aftir that thei encressiden, castiden out Jepte, and seiden, Thou maist not be eir in the hows of oure fadir, for thou art born of a modir auoutresse.
Chi Gilead mahie bende nonywolone yawuowi, kendo kane gisebedo madongo, ne giriembo Jeftha. Negiwachone niya, “Ok iniyud girkeni moro amora e dalawa ka, nikech in wuod dhako machielo.”
3 `Whiche britheren he fledde, and eschewide, and dwellide in the lond of Tob; and pore men and `doynge thefte weren gaderid to hym, and sueden as a prince.
Omiyo Jeftha noringo moa ir owetene kendo nodhi odak e piny Tob, kama jodwar mangʼeny nochokore bute mi giluwe.
4 In tho daies the sones of Amon fouyten ayens Israel;
Bangʼe, ka jo-Amon nochako lweny gi jo-Israel,
5 and whanne thei contynueden scharpli, the grettere men in birthe of Galaad, yeden to take in to `the help of hem silf Jepte fro the lond of Tob;
jodong Gilead nodhi mondo ogol Jeftha e piny Tob.
6 and thei seiden to hym, Come thou, and be oure prince, and fiyte ayens the sones of Amon.
Negiwachone niya, “Bi mondo ibed jatendwa mar lweny, mondo mi waked gi jo-Amon.”
7 To whiche he answeride, Whethir not ye it ben, that haten me, and castiden me out of the hows of mi fadir, and now ye camen to me, and weren compellid bi nede?
Jeftha nowachonegi niya, “Donge ne ok udwara mi uriembo e od wuora? En angʼo momiyo koro ubiro ira, ka un e thagruok?”
8 And the princes of Galaad seiden to Jepte, Therfor for this cause we camen now to thee, that thou go with vs, and fiyt ayens the sones of Amon; and that thou be the duyk of alle men that dwellen in Galaad.
Jodong Gilead nodwoke niya, “Kata kamano, wabiro iri koro; bi kodwa mondo waked gi jo-Amon, kendo inibed jatendwa kaachiel gi jogo duto modak Gilead.”
9 And Jepte seide to hem, Whether ye camen verili to me, that Y fiyte for you ayens the sones of Amon, and if the Lord schal bitake hem in to myn hondis, schal Y be youre prince?
Jeftha nodwoko niya, “Ka dipo ni udwoka mondo aked gi jo-Amon kendo Jehova Nyasaye omiyagi; bende anabed jatendu adier?”
10 Whiche answeriden to hym, The Lord hym silf, that herith these thingis, is mediatour and witnesse, that we schulen do oure biheestis.
Jodong Gilead nodwoko niya, “Jehova Nyasaye obed janeno marwa; adier wabiro timo kaka iwachono.”
11 And so Jepte wente with the princes of Galaad, and al the puple made hym her prince; and Jepte spak alle hise wordis bifor the Lord in Maspha.
Omiyo Jeftha nodhi gi jodong Gilead, kendo ji nokete obedo jatelo kendo jatend lweny. Kendo nonwoyo wechegi duto e nyim Jehova Nyasaye kama iluongo ni Mizpa.
12 And he sente messangeris to the kyng of the sones of Amon, whiche messangeris schulden seie `of his persoone, What is to me and to thee, for thou hast come `ayens me to waaste my lond?
Bangʼe Jeftha nooro joote ir ruodh jo-Amon kapenje niya, “En angʼo milaro kodwa, momiyo idwaro kedo kodwa?”
13 To whiche the kyng answeride, For Israel whanne he stiede fro Egipt took awei my lond, fro the coostis of Arnon `til to Jaboch and to Jordan, now therfor yeelde it to me with pees.
Ruodh jo-Amon nodwoko joote Jeftha niya, “Kane jo-Israel owuok Misri, negikawo pinya chakre aora Arnon nyaka aora Jabok mi gichopo nyaka aora Jordan, koro duognago gi kwe.”
14 Bi whiche massangeris Jepte sente eft, and comaundide to hem, that thei schulden seie to the kyng of Amon,
Jeftha nooro joote mondo odog ir ruodh jo-Amon,
15 Jepte seith these thingis, Israel took not the lond of Moab, nether the lond of the sones of Amon;
kawacho niya, “Ma e gima Jeftha wacho: Jo-Israel ne ok okawo piny jo-Moab kata piny jo-Amon.
16 but whanne thei stieden fro Egipt, `he yede bi the wildirnesse `til to the Reed See, and cam in to Cades;
To kane gia Misri, jo-Israel noluwo thim nyaka Nam Makwar kendo ma gichopo Kadesh.
17 and he sente messangeris to the kyng of Edom, and seide, Suffre thou me, that Y go thoruy thi lond; which kyng nolde assente to his preyeres. Also Israel sente to the kyng of Moab, and he dispiside to yyue passage;
Eka jo-Israel nooro joote ir ruodh jo-Edom, kawacho niya, ‘Miya thuolo mondo wakal e pinyu,’ to ruodh Edom ne ok nyal winjogi. Nochako ooro joote ir ruodh Moab, to en bende nodagi. Kuom mano jo-Israel nodak Kadesh.
18 and so Israel dwellyde in Cades, and cumpasside bi the side the lond of Edom, and the lond of Moab; and he cam to the eest coost of the lond of Moab, and settide tentis biyende Arnon, nether he wolde entre in to the termes of Moab; for Arnon is the ende of the lond of Moab.
“Bangʼe negiwuotho e thim, ka ginono pinje mag Edom gi Moab, ka gikalo yo wuok chiengʼ mar piny Moab mine gidhi gibworo e bath aora Arnon. Ne ok gidonjo e alap mar jo-Moab, nimar Arnon ema tongʼ mare.
19 And so Israel sente messangeris to Seon, kyng of Ammorreis, that dwellide in Esebon; and thei seiden to hym, Suffre thou, that Y passe thorouy thi lond `til to the ryuer.
“Bangʼe Jakobo nooro joote ir Sihon ruodh jo-Amor mane ruoth Heshbon, kendo mi nowachone ni, ‘Yie iwewa wakalie pinyu wadhi e karwa owuon.’
20 And he dispiside the wordis of Israel, and suffride not hym passe bi hise termes, but with a multitude with out noumbre gaderid to gidere he yede out ayens Israel, and ayenstood strongli.
Kata kamano, Sihon ne ok nigi adiera gi jo-Israel mondo gikal e pinye. Nochoko joge duto kendo mi gichokore Jahaz mondo giked gi jo-Israel.
21 And the Lord bitook hym with al his oost in to the hondis of Israel; and Israel smoot hym, and hadde in possessioun al the lond of Ammorrey,
“Eka Jehova Nyasaye, ma Nyasach Israel, nochiwo Sihon kod joge duto e lwet jo-Israel, kendo negiloyogi. Jo-Israel nokawo puothe jo-Amor mane odak e pinyno,
22 dwellere of that cuntrey, and al the coostis therof fro Arnon `til to Jaboch, and fro the wildirnesse `til to Jordan.
ka gikawe duto chakre e aora Arnon nyaka e aora Jabok kendo koa e thim nyaka e aora Jordan.
23 Therfor the Lord God of Israel distriede Ammorrey, fiytynge ayens hym for his puple Israel. And wolt thou now haue in possessioun `his lond? Whether not tho thingis whiche Chamos, thi god, hadde in possessioun, ben due to thee bi riyt?
“Ka koro Jehova Nyasaye, ma Nyasach Israel, oseriembo jo-Amor e nyim joge Israel, en thuolo mane ma in-go mar kawe?
24 Forsothe tho thingis whiche `oure Lord God ouercomere gat, schulen falle in to oure possessioun;
Donge ubiro mana kawo gima Kemosh ma nyasachu omiyou? Kamano bende, gimoro amora ma Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachwa omiyowa, wabiro kawo.
25 no but in hap thou art betere than Balach, the sone of Sephor, kyng of Moab, ether thou maist preue, that he stryuede ayens Israel, and fauyt ayens hym,
Iparo ni ilich maloyo Balak wuod Zipor, ma ruodh Moab? Bende nodhawo gi Israel kata kedo kodgi?
26 whanne he dwellide in Esebon, and in townes therof, and in Aroer, and in townes therof, and in alle citees biyende Jordan, bi thre hundrid yeer. Whi in so myche time assaieden ye no thing on this axyng ayen?
Kuom higni mia adek Israel nodak Heshbon, gi Aroer, gi alwora mar kuondego kod mier duto mokiewo gi aora Arnon. En angʼo ma nomonou kawogi e hignigo?
27 Therfor not Y do synne ayens thee, but thou doist yuel ayens me, and bryngist in batels not iust to me; the Lord, iuge of this dai, deme bitwixe the sones of Israel and bitwixe the sones of Amon.
Wan pok wakethonu, to un koro utimonwa marach kuom kedo kodwa. Mad uwe Jehova Nyasaye, ma jangʼad bura ongʼad burano odiechiengʼ ma kawuononi e kind jo-Israel gi jo-Amon.”
28 And the kyng of the sones of Amon nolde assente to the wordis of Jepte, whiche he sente bi messangeris.
Kata kamano, ruodh jo-Amon ne ok odewo ote mane joote Jeftha okelone.
29 Therfor the spirit of the Lord was maad on Jepte, and he cumpasside Galaad and Manasses, Maspha and Galaad; and he passide fro thennus to the sones of Amon,
Eka Roho mar Jehova Nyasaye nobiro kuom Jeftha. Noluwo piny Gilead gi Manase, kokalo Mizpa mar Gilead, kendo koa kanyo nodhi momonjo jo-Amon.
30 and made a vow to the Lord, and seide, If thou schalt bitake the sones of Amon in to myn hondis,
Kendo Jeftha nokwongʼore ne Jehova Nyasaye niya, “Ka inichiw jo-Amon e lweta,
31 who euer goith out first of the dores of myn hows, and cometh ayens me turnynge ayen with pees fro the sones of Amon, Y schal offre hym brent sacrifice to the Lord.
to ngʼato angʼata mani wuog e dalana mondo orom koda bangʼ ka aseloyo jo-Amon nobed mar Jehova Nyasaye, kendo anachiwe kaka misango miwangʼo pep.”
32 And Jepte yede to the sones of Amon, to fiyte ayens hem, whiche the Lord bitook in to hise hondis;
Eka Jeftha nowuok mondo odhi oked gi jo-Amon, kendo Jehova Nyasaye nochiwogi e lwete.
33 and he smoot fro Aroer `til to thou comest in to Mennyth, twenti citees, and `til to Abel, which is set aboute with vyneris, with ful greet veniaunce; and the sones of Amon weren maad low of the sones of Israel.
Noketho mier piero ariyo kochakore e aora Aroer nyaka Minith, mochopo nyaka Abel Keramim. Mano e kaka jo-Israel nokawo Amon.
34 Forsothe whanne Jepte turnede ayen in to Maspha, his hows, his oon gendrid douyter cam to hym with tympanys and croudis; for he hadde not othere fre children.
Kane Jeftha odwogo dalane man Mizpa, noneno mana nyare kamiel kabiro romone! Ne en gi nyako achiel kende maonge wuowi kata nyako moro machielo.
35 And whanne `sche was seyn, he to-rente his clothis, and seide, Allas! my douytir, thou hast disseyued me, and thou art disseyued; for Y openyde my mouth to the Lord, and Y may do noon other thing.
Kane onene, noyiecho lepe mi oywak niya, “Yaye Nyara! Isemiya abedo modhier kendo gi thagruok, nikech ne asesingora ne Jehova Nyasaye ma ok anyal ketho.”
36 To whom sche answeride, My fadir, if thou openydist thi mouth to the Lord, do to me what euer thing thou bihiytist, while veniaunce and victorie of thin enemyes is grauntid to thee.
Nodwoko niya, “Wuonwa, isechiwo wachni ne Jehova Nyasaye. Timna mana kaka ne isesingori, nikech Jehova Nyasaye koro oseresi e lwet wasiki, ma jo-Amon.”
37 And sche seide to the fadir, Yyue thou to me oneli this thing, which Y biseche; suffre thou me that in two monethis Y cumpasse hillis, and biweile my maidynhed with my felowis.
Nomedo wachone niya, “To yie itimna kwayo achiel kende. Miya dweche ariyo mondo aba ewi gode kendo aywagi gi osiepena, nikech ok bi kenda.”
38 To whom he answeride, Go thou. And he sufferide hir in two monethis. And whanne sche hadde go with hir felowis and pleiferis, sche biwepte hir maydynhed in the hillis.
Nowachone niya, “Inyalo dhi.” Eka noweye modhi kuom dweche ariyo. En kaachiel gi nyiri mamoko nodhi ewi gode kendo ne giywak nikech ok bi kende.
39 And whanne twey monethis weren fillid, sche turnede ayen to hir fadir, and he dide to hir as he avowide; and sche knew not fleischli a man. Fro thennus a custom cam in Israel,
Bangʼ dweche ariyo, nodok ir wuon mare kendo wuon-gi notimo mana kaka nosesingore. Ne en nyako ngili. Kochakore e ndalono, jo-Israel noketo chik ni
40 and the custom is kept, that aftir the `ende of the yeer the douytris of Israel come togidere, and biweile `the douytir of Jepte of Galaad `foure daies.
higa ka higa mon matindo mag Israel nyaka dhi e got kuom ndalo angʼwen mondo otim rapar mar nyar Jeftha ma ja-Gilead.
