Judges 11
1 And Jephthah the Gileadite hath been a mighty man of valour, and he [is] son of a woman, a harlot; and Gilead begetteth Jephthah,
Jefta ará Gileadi jẹ́ akọni jagunjagun. Gileadi ni baba rẹ̀; ṣùgbọ́n ìyá rẹ̀ jẹ́ panṣágà.
2 and the wife of Gilead beareth to him sons, and the wife's sons grow up and cast out Jephthah, and say to him, 'Thou dost not inherit in the house of our father; for son of another woman [art] thou.'
Ìyàwó Gileadi sì bí àwọn ọmọkùnrin fún un, nígbà tí àwọn ọmọkùnrin wọ̀nyí dàgbà, wọ́n rán Jefta jáde kúrò nílé, wọ́n wí pé, “Ìwọ kì yóò ní ogún kankan ní ìdílé wa, nítorí pé ìwọ jẹ́ ọmọ obìnrin mìíràn.”
3 And Jephthah fleeth from the face of his brethren, and dwelleth in the land of Tob; and vain men gather themselves together unto Jephthah, and they go out with him.
Jefta sì sá kúrò lọ́dọ̀ àwọn arákùnrin rẹ̀, ó sì pàgọ́ sí ilẹ̀ Tobu, ó sì ń gbé níbẹ̀, níbẹ̀ ni àwọn ènìyàn kan ti ń tẹ òfin lójú parapọ̀ láti máa tẹ̀lé e kiri.
4 And it cometh to pass, after a time, that the Bene-Ammon fight with Israel,
Ní àsìkò kan, nígbà tí àwọn ará Ammoni dìde ogun sí àwọn Israẹli,
5 and it cometh to pass, when the Bene-Ammon have fought with Israel, that the elders of Gilead go to take Jephthah from the land of Tob;
Ó sì ṣe nígbà tí àwọn Ammoni bá Israẹli jagun, àwọn àgbàgbà Gileadi tọ Jefta lọ láti pè é wá láti ilẹ̀ Tobu.
6 and they say unto Jephthah, 'Come, and thou hast been to us for captain, and we fight against the Bene-Ammon.'
Wọ́n wí fún Jefta wí pé, “Wá kí o sì jẹ́ olórí ogun wa kí a lè kọjú ogun sí àwọn ará Ammoni.”
7 And Jephthah saith to the elders of Gilead, 'Have not ye hated me? and ye cast me out from the house of my father, and wherefore have ye come unto me now when ye are in distress?'
Jefta sì wí fún àwọn àgbàgbà Gileadi pé, “Ṣé kì í ṣe pé ẹ kórìíra mi tí ẹ sì lé mi kúrò ní ilé baba mi? Kí ló dé tí ẹ fi tọ̀ mí wá báyìí nígbà tí ẹ wà nínú wàhálà?”
8 and the elders of Gilead say unto Jephthah, 'Therefore, now, we have turned back unto thee; and thou hast gone with us, and fought against the Bene-Ammon, and thou hast been to us for head — to all the inhabitants of Gilead.'
Àwọn àgbà Gileadi sì wí fún Jefta pé, “Nítorí rẹ̀ ni àwa fi yípadà sí ọ báyìí: tẹ̀lé wa, kí a lè dojú ìjà kọ àwọn ará Ammoni, ìwọ yóò sì jẹ olórí wa àti gbogbo àwa tí ń gbé ní Gileadi.”
9 And Jephthah saith unto the elders of Gilead, 'If ye are taking me back to fight against the Bene-Ammon, and Jehovah hath given them before me — I, am I to you for a head?'
Jefta sì wí fún àwọn àgbàgbà Gileadi pé, “Bí ẹ̀yin bá mú mi padà láti bá àwọn ará Ammoni jà àti tí Olúwa bá fi wọ́n lé mi lọ́wọ́: ṣe èmi yóò jẹ́ olórí yín nítòótọ́?”
10 And the elders of Gilead say unto Jephthah, 'Jehovah is hearkening between us — if according to thy word we do not so.'
Àwọn àgbàgbà Gileadi sì wí fún Jefta pé, “Àwa fi Olúwa ṣe ẹlẹ́rìí: àwa yóò ṣe ohunkóhun tí o bá wí.”
11 And Jephthah goeth with the elders of Gilead, and the people set him over them for head and for captain, and Jephthah speaketh all his words before Jehovah in Mizpeh.
Jefta sì tẹ̀lé àwọn àgbàgbà Gileadi lọ, àwọn ènìyàn náà sì fi ṣe olórí àti ọ̀gágun wọn. Jefta sì tún sọ gbogbo àwọn ọ̀rọ̀ tí ó ti sọtẹ́lẹ̀ níwájú Olúwa ní Mispa.
12 And Jephthah sendeth messengers unto the king of the Bene-Ammon, saying, 'What — to me and to thee, that thou hast come in unto me, to fight in my land.'
Jefta sì rán àwọn oníṣẹ́ sí ọba àwọn ará Ammoni pé, “Kí ni ẹ̀sùn tí o ní sí wa láti fi kàn wá tí ìwọ fi dojú ìjà kọ ilẹ̀ wa?”
13 And the king of the Bene-Ammon saith unto the messengers of Jephthah, 'Because Israel took my land in his coming up out of Egypt, from Arnon, and unto the Jabbok, and unto the Jordan; and now, restore them in peace.'
Ọba àwọn Ammoni dá àwọn oníṣẹ́ Jefta lóhùn pé, “Nígbà tí àwọn ọmọ Israẹli jáde ti Ejibiti wá. Wọ́n gba ilẹ̀ mi láti Arnoni dé Jabbok, àní dé Jordani, nítorí náà dá wọn padà lọ ní àlàáfíà àti ní pẹ̀lẹ́ kùtù.”
14 And Jephthah addeth yet and sendeth messengers unto the king of the Bene-Ammon,
Jefta sì tún ránṣẹ́ padà sí ọba àwọn ará Ammoni
15 and saith to him, 'Thus said Jephthah, Israel took not the land of Moab, and the land of the Bene-Ammon,
ó sì wí fún un pé, “Báyìí ni Jefta wí: àwọn ọmọ Israẹli kò gba ilẹ̀ Moabu tàbí ilẹ̀ àwọn ará Ammoni.
16 for in their coming up out of Egypt, Israel goeth in the wilderness unto the Red Sea, and cometh in to Kadesh,
Ṣùgbọ́n nígbà tí wọ́n jáde kúrò ní Ejibiti àwọn ọmọ Israẹli la aginjù kọjá lọ sí ọ̀nà Òkun Pupa wọ́n sì lọ sí Kadeṣi.
17 and Israel sendeth messengers unto the king of Edom, saying, Let me pass over, I pray thee, through thy land, and the king of Edom hearkened not; and also unto the king of Moab hath [Israel] sent, and he hath not been willing; and Israel abideth in Kadesh,
Nígbà náà Israẹli rán àwọn oníṣẹ́ sí ọba Edomu pé, ‘Gbà fún wa láti gba ilẹ̀ rẹ̀ kọjá,’ ṣùgbọ́n ọba Edomu kò fetí sí wọn. Wọ́n tún ránṣẹ́ sí ọba Moabu bákan náà òun náà kọ̀. Nítorí náà Israẹli dúró sí Kadeṣi.
18 and he goeth through the wilderness, and compasseth the land of Edom and the land of Moab, and cometh in at the rising of the sun of the land of Moab, and they encamp beyond Arnon, and have not come into the border of Moab, for Arnon [is] the border of Moab.
“Wọ́n rin aginjù kọjá, wọ́n pẹ́ àwọn ilẹ̀ Edomu àti ti Moabu sílẹ̀, nígbà tí wọ́n gba apá ìlà-oòrùn Moabu, wọ́n sì tẹ̀dó sí apá kejì Arnoni. Wọn kò wọ ilẹ̀ Moabu, nítorí pé ààlà rẹ̀ ni Arnoni wà.
19 'And Israel sendeth messengers unto Sihon, king of the Amorite, king of Heshbon, and Israel saith to him, Let us pass over, we pray thee, through thy land, unto my place,
“Nígbà náà ni Israẹli rán àwọn oníṣẹ́ sí Sihoni ọba àwọn ará Amori, ẹni tí ń ṣe àkóso ní Heṣboni, wọ́n sì wí fún un pé, ‘Jẹ́ kí a la ilẹ̀ rẹ kọjá lọ sí ibùgbé wa.’
20 and Sihon hath not trusted Israel to pass over through his border, and Sihon gathereth all his people, and they encamp in Jahaz, and fight with Israel;
Ṣùgbọ́n Sihoni kò gba Israẹli gbọ́ (kò fọkàn tán an) láti jẹ́ kí ó kọjá. Ó kó gbogbo àwọn ènìyàn rẹ̀ jọ, ó sì tẹ̀dó sí Jahisa láti bá Israẹli jagun.
21 and Jehovah, God of Israel, giveth Sihon and all his people into the hand of Israel, and they smite them, and Israel possesseth all the land of the Amorite, the inhabitant of that land,
“Olúwa Ọlọ́run Israẹli sì fi Sihoni àti àwọn ọmọ-ogun rẹ̀ lé Israẹli lọ́wọ́, wọ́n sì ṣẹ́gun wọn. Israẹli sì gba gbogbo ilẹ̀ àwọn ará Amori tí wọ́n ń gbé ní agbègbè náà,
22 and they possess all the border of the Amorite from Arnon, and unto the Jabbok, and from the wilderness, and unto the Jordan.
wọ́n gbà gbogbo agbègbè àwọn ará Amori, láti Arnoni tí ó fi dé Jabbok, àti láti aginjù dé Jordani.
23 'And now, Jehovah, God of Israel, hath dispossessed the Amorite from the presence of His people Israel, and thou wouldest possess it!
“Wàyí o, nígbà tí Olúwa Ọlọ́run Israẹli, ti lé àwọn ará Amori kúrò níwájú àwọn ènìyàn rẹ̀; Israẹli, ẹ̀tọ́ wo ni ẹ ní láti gba ilẹ̀ náà?
24 That which Chemosh thy god causeth thee to possess — dost thou not possess it? and all that which Jehovah our God hath dispossessed from our presence, — it we do possess.

25 'And now, [art] thou at all better than Balak son of Zippor, king of Moab? did he at all strive with Israel? did he at all fight against them?
Ǹjẹ́ ìwọ ha sàn ju Balaki ọmọ Sippori, ọba Moabu lọ? Ǹjẹ́ òun ha ṣe gbólóhùn asọ̀ pẹ̀lú Israẹli bí? Tàbí òun dojú ìjà kọ wọ́n rí bí?
26 In Israel's dwelling in Heshbon and in its towns, and in Aroer and in its towns, and in all the cities which [are] by the sides of Arnon three hundred years — and wherefore have ye not delivered them in that time?
Fún ọ̀ọ́dúnrún ọdún ni Israẹli fi ṣe àtìpó ní Heṣboni, Aroeri àti àwọn ìgbèríko àti àwọn ìlú tí ó yí Arnoni ká. Èéṣe tí ìwọ kò fi gbà wọ́n padà ní àsìkò náà?
27 And I — I have not sinned against thee, and thou art doing with me evil — to fight against me. Jehovah, the Judge, doth judge to-day between the sons of Israel and the sons of Ammon.'
Èmi kọ́ ni ó ṣẹ̀ ọ́, ṣùgbọ́n ìwọ ni ó ṣẹ̀ mí nípa kíkógun tọ̀ mí wá. Jẹ́ kí Olúwa olùdájọ́, ṣe ìdájọ́ lónìí láàrín àwọn ọmọ Israẹli àti àwọn ará Ammoni.”
28 And the king of the Bene-Ammon hath not hearkened unto the words of Jephthah which he sent unto him,
Ṣùgbọ́n ọba àwọn Ammoni kò fetí sí iṣẹ́ tí Jefta rán sí i.
29 and the Spirit of Jehovah is on Jephthah, and he passeth over Gilead and Manasseh, and passeth over Mizpeh of Gilead, and from Mizpeh of Gilead he hath passed over to the Bene-Ammon.
Ẹ̀mí Olúwa sì bà lé Jefta òun sì la Gileadi àti Manase kọjá. Ó la Mispa àti Gileadi kọjá láti ibẹ̀, ó tẹ̀síwájú láti bá àwọn ará Ammoni jà.
30 And Jephthah voweth a vow to Jehovah, and saith, 'If Thou dost at all give the Bene-Ammon into my hand —
Jefta sì jẹ́ ẹ̀jẹ́ fún Olúwa pé, “Bí ìwọ bá fi àwọn ará Ammoni lé mi lọ́wọ́,
31 then it hath been, that which at all cometh out from the doors of my house to meet me in my turning back in peace from the Bene-Ammon — it hath been to Jehovah, or I have offered up for it — a burnt-offering.'
yóò sì ṣe, ohunkóhun tí ó bá jáde láti ẹnu-ọ̀nà ilé mi láti wá pàdé mi, nígbà tí èmi bá ń padà bọ̀ láti ọ̀dọ̀ àwọn ọmọ Ammoni ní àlàáfíà, yóò jẹ́ ti Olúwa, èmi yóò sì fi rú ẹbọ bí ọrẹ ẹbọ sísun.”
32 And Jephthah passeth over unto the Bene-Ammon to fight against them, and Jehovah giveth them into his hand,
Jefta sì jáde lọ láti bá àwọn ará Ammoni jagun, Olúwa sì fi wọ́n lé e lọ́wọ́.
33 and he smiteth them from Aroer, and unto thy going in to Minnith, twenty cities, and unto the meadow of the vineyards — a very great smiting; and the Bene-Ammon are humbled at the presence of the sons of Israel.
Òun sì ṣẹ́gun wọn, ó sì pa wọ́n ní à pa tán láti Aroeri títí dé agbègbè Minniti, ó jẹ́ ogún ìlú, títí dé Abeli-Keramimu. Báyìí ni Israẹli ti ṣẹ́gun àwọn ará Ammoni.
34 And Jephthah cometh into Mizpeh, unto his house, and lo, his daughter is coming out to meet him with timbrels, and with choruses, and save her alone, he hath none, son or daughter.
Nígbà tí Jefta padà sí ilé rẹ̀ ní Mispa, wò ó, ọmọ rẹ̀ obìnrin ń jáde bọ̀ wá pàdé rẹ̀ pẹ̀lú timbrili àti ijó. Òun ni ọmọ kan ṣoṣo tí ó ní: kò ní ọmọkùnrin àti ọmọbìnrin mìíràn yàtọ̀ sí òun nìkan.
35 And it cometh to pass, when he seeth her, that he rendeth his garments, and saith, 'Alas, my daughter, thou hast caused me greatly to bend, and thou hast been among those troubling me; and I — I have opened my mouth unto Jehovah, and I am not able to turn back.'
Ní ìgbà tí ó rí i ó fa aṣọ rẹ̀ ya ní ìbànújẹ́, ó sì ké wí pé, “Háà! Ọ̀dọ́mọbìnrin mi, ìwọ fún mi ní ìbànújẹ́ ọkàn ìwọ sì rẹ̀ mí sílẹ̀ gidigidi, nítorí pé èmi ti ya ẹnu mi sí Olúwa ní ẹ̀jẹ́, èmi kò sì le sẹ́ ẹ̀jẹ́ mi.”
36 And she saith unto him, 'My father — thou hast opened thy mouth unto Jehovah, do to me as it hath gone out from thy mouth, after that Jehovah hath done for thee vengeance on thine enemies, on the Bene-Ammon.'
Ọmọ náà sì dáhùn pé, “Baba mi bí ìwọ bá ti jẹ́ ẹ̀jẹ́ fún Olúwa, ṣe sí mi gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìlérí rẹ, ní báyìí tí Olúwa ti gba ẹ̀san fún ọ lára àwọn ọ̀tá rẹ, àwọn ará Ammoni.
37 And she saith unto her father, 'Let this thing be done to me; desist from me two months, and I go on, and have gone down on the hills, and I weep for my virginity — I and my friends.'
Ṣùgbọ́n yọ̀ǹda ìbéèrè kan yìí fún mi, gbà mí láààyè oṣù méjì láti rìn ká orí àwọn òkè, kí n sọkún pẹ̀lú àwọn ẹlẹgbẹ́ mi torí mo jẹ́ wúńdíá tí n kò sì ní lè ṣe ìgbéyàwó.”
38 And he saith, 'Go;' and he sendeth her away two months, and she goeth, she and her friends, and she weepeth for her virginity on the hills;

39 and it cometh to pass at the end of two months that she turneth back unto her father, and he doth to her his vow which he hath vowed, and she knew not a man; and it is a statute in Israel:
