1 Hagi Jepta'a Giliati kumatera tusi'a hankavenentake ha' ne' mani'ne. Hianagi agra monko a'mofo mofavregino Giliati nemofo'e.
Njalo uJefitha umGileyadi wayeliqhawe elilamandla, wayeyindodana yewule; uGileyadi wasezala uJefitha.
2 Hagi Gilieti nenaro'a rama'a ne' mofavrerami ante'ne. Hagi ana mofavreramimo'za rama nehu'za, Jeptankura amanage hu'naze, ru a'mofo mofavre mani'nanankinka nerafa zana erisanti oharegosane, nehu'za mopazmifintira ahegasopetre'naze.
UmkaGileyadi wasemzalela amadodana; kwathi amadodana omkakhe esekhulile amxotsha uJefitha, athi kuye: Kawuyikudla ilifa endlini kababa, ngoba uyindodana yomunye umfazi.
3 E'inama hazageno'a Jepta'a afu'aganahe'ina nezamatreno, freno Tobu kumate umani'ne. Ana kumate'ma unemanigeno'a hazenkema eri hakarema nehaza vahe'mo'za agrane eme tragote'za vano hu'naze.
UJefitha wasebalekela abafowabo, wahlala elizweni leTobi. Amadoda ayize asebuthana kuJefitha, aphuma laye.
4 Hagi mago'a kna evutegeno Amoni vahe'mo'za Israeli vahera agafa hu'za hara huzmante'naze.
Kwasekusithi emva kwezinsuku abantwana bakoAmoni balwa loIsrayeli.
5 Hagi Amoni vahe'mo'zama Israeli vahe'ma ha'ma eme huzamantageno'a Giliati kumate ranra vahe'mo'za Jepta ome avrenaku Tobu kumate vu'za amanage ome hu'naze,
Kwasekusithi lapho abantwana bakoAmoni besilwa loIsrayeli, abadala beGileyadi bahamba ukuyathatha uJefitha elizweni leTobi,
6 kvati emani'negeta Amoni vahera hara huzamantamneno.
bathi kuJefitha: Woza ube ngumkhokheli wethu ukuze silwe labantwana bakoAmoni.
7 Hianagi ana ranra vahetmina Jepta'a amanage huno zamasami'ne, Tamagra nagrikura tamavresra higeta nenfa nompintira naheta navazuhu atre'naze. Hagi knazampima nemanita nahigeta nagrikura menina haketa neaze?
Kodwa uJefitha wathi kubadala beGileyadi: Lina kalingizondanga yini, langixotsha endlini kababa? Pho, lizelani kimi khathesi nxa selisenhluphekweni?
8 Anagema hige'za amanage hu'za kenona hunte'naze, Ama'na agafare tagra one. Menina tagri'ene vunka Amoni vahera hara ome huzamantenka Giliati kumate kva manigahane.
Abadala beGileyadi basebesithi kuJefitha: Ngakho khathesi siyabuyela kuwe ukuze uhambe lathi uyekulwa umelene labantwana bakoAmoni, ube yinhloko yethu phezu kwabo bonke abakhi beGileyadi.
9 Hagi Jepta'a amanage huno ana ranra vahera kenona huzamante'ne, Menima kumaniregama navreta vanage'na Amoni vahe'ma ha'ma ome huzamante'nugeno, Ra Anumzamo'ma nazama hinke'na, ana vahe'ma zamahe vagamarenu'na, tamagerfa hu'na nagra kvatimia manigahuo?
UJefitha wasesithi kubadala beGileyadi: Uba lingibuyisa ukulwa ngimelene labantwana bakoAmoni, iNkosi ibanikele phambi kwami, mina ngizakuba yinhloko yenu yini?
10 Hige'za ana ranra vahe'mo'za amanage hu'za kenona hu'naze, ama'na kema rutrage zankura tagri'ene kagri'enena tamage huno amu'notifina Ra Anumzamo mani'neno keno antahino hurantesie.
Abadala beGileyadi basebesithi kuJefitha: INkosi iyezwa phakathi kwethu, uba singenzi njalo njengokwamazwi akho.
11 Hagi anante Jepta'a ana ranra vahe'ene vige'za Giliati vahe'mo'za kva azeri oti'naze. Anama hazageno'a Jepta'a ko'ma hu'nea nanekea Mispa kumate Ra Anumzamofo avuga ete mago'ene zamasami'ne.
UJefitha wasehamba labadala beGileyadi, abantu basebemenza waba yinhloko lomkhokheli phezu kwabo. UJefitha wasekhuluma wonke amazwi akhe phambi kweNkosi eMizipa.
12 Hagi anante Jepta'a Amoni kini ne'mofontega amanage huno antahige kea atrentege'za, ke eri'za vu vahe'mo'za amanage hu'za ome asami'naze, Nagafare nagri mopafi vahera hara eme renezmantane?
UJefitha wasethuma izithunywa enkosini yabantwana bakoAmoni esithi: Ngilani lawe ukuthi uze kimi ukulwa elizweni lami?
13 Hagi Jeptama atregenoma viankerera Amoni kini ne'mo'a amanage hu'ne, Israeli vahe'mo'zama Isipiti'ma ne-eza Arnonitima vuno Jaboki vuteno Jodanima uhanati'nea mopatia eme hanare'naze. E'ina hu'negu fruhuta ete ana mopatia tamiho.
Inkosi yabantwana bakoAmoni yasisithi kuzithunywa zikaJefitha: Ngoba uIsrayeli wathatha ilizwe lami ekwenyukeni kwakhe eGibhithe kusukela eArinoni kuze kube seJaboki kuze kube seJordani; ngakho-ke libuyiseni ngokuthula.
14 Anagema higeno'a Jepta'a Amoni kini netega ete mago'ane kea atregeno kema erino vu' ne'mo'a ome asamino,
UJefitha wasephinda ethuma izithunywa futhi enkosini yabantwana bakoAmoni,
15 Jepta'a amanage hu'ne, Israeli vahe'mo'a Moapu vahe mopane, Amoni vahe mopa kumazafa osene.
wathi kuye: Utsho njalo uJefitha: UIsrayeli kalithathanga ilizwe lakoMowabi lelizwe labantwana bakoAmoni,
16 Hianagi Isipiti'ma mareri'za ne-eza hagage mopafi vu'za korankre hagerinte vute'za, Kadesi kumatera ehanati'naze.
kodwa ekwenyukeni kwabo besuka eGibhithe uIsrayeli wahamba edabula enkangala waya eLwandle oluBomvu, wafika eKadeshi.
17 Hagi anante Israeli vahe'mo'za Idomu kini netega amanage hu'za kea atrazageno vu'ne. Tatregeta mopaka'afi rugitagita vamaneno. Hianagi Idomu kini ne'mo'a kea ontahine. Hagi Moapu kini ne'mofona anahukna naneke atrentazageno vu'ne. Hianagi ana kini ne'mo'a kea ontahi'ne. Ana'ma hige'za Israeli vahe'mo'za anante Kadesia emani'naze.
UIsrayeli wasethuma izithunywa enkosini yeEdoma esithi: Ake sedlule sidabule elizweni lakho; kodwa inkosi yeEdoma kayilalelanga. Wathumela njalo enkosini yakoMowabi, kodwa kayivumanga. Ngakho uIsrayeli wahlala eKadeshi.
18 Hagi anantetira Israeli vahe'mo'za hagage mopafi ufre'za nevu'za Idomu mopane, Moapu mopanena rugagiza Moapu mopamofona zage hanati kaziga, Arnoni timofona kantu kaziga seli nona omeki'za mani'naze. Hianagi Moapu vahe mopafina uofre'naze. Na'ankure Arnoni tinte Moapu mopamofo atupamo'a eme atre'ne.
Basebedabula enkangala, balibhoda ilizwe leEdoma lelizwe lakoMowabi, bafika lapho eliphuma khona ilanga kwelizwe lakoMowabi. Bamisa inkamba ngaphetsheya kweArinoni, kodwa kabangenanga emngceleni wakoMowabi, ngoba iArinoni yayingumngcele wakoMowabi.
19 Hagi Amori kini ne' Sihoni'a, Hesboni kumateti neki'za, agritega amanage hu'za Israeli vahe'mo'za kea atrazageno vu'ne. Muse hugantonanki tatregeta mopaka'afina rugitagita mopatirega vamneno hu'za hu'naze.
UIsrayeli wasethuma izithunywa kuSihoni inkosi yamaAmori, inkosi yeHeshiboni; uIsrayeli wathi kuye: Ake sedlule elizweni lakho siye endaweni yami.
20 Hianagi Sihoni'a Israeli vahera antahinozamino zamatrege'za mopa'afina eovu'naze. Hianagi maka sondia vahe'a zamazeri atru huno Jahas kumate seli nona kino mani'neno, Israeli vahera hara huzamante'ne.
Kodwa uSihoni kamthembanga uIsrayeli ukuthi adlule emngceleni wakhe; kodwa uSihoni wabutha bonke abantu bakhe, wamisa inkamba eJahazi, walwa loIsrayeli.
21 Hianagi Ra Anumzana Israeli vahe Anumzamo'a Sihonine maka vahe'anena Israeli vahe zamazampi zmavrentegeno, ana mopafima mani'naza Amori vahera hara huzamagatere'za maka mopazamia eri'naze.
Kodwa iNkosi, uNkulunkulu kaIsrayeli, yanikela uSihoni labo bonke abantu bakhe esandleni sikaIsrayeli, babatshaya. Ngakho uIsrayeli wadla ilifa lelizwe lonke lamaAmori, abahlali balelolizwe.
22 Ana'ma hute'za Amoni vahe'mokizmi mopama eri'nazana, Arnoni tinteti'ma vuno noti kaziga Jaboku tinte uhanatiteno, ka'ma kokampinti vuno Jodani tinte'ma vu'nea mopa eri'naze.
Badla ilifa layo yonke imingcele yamaAmori kusukela eArinoni kuze kube seJaboki, njalo kusukela enkangala kuze kube seJordani.
23 Hagi Ra Anumzana Israeli vahe Anumzamo'a Israeli vahe zamavuga Amori vahera zamahenati netreno mopazami hanareno Israeli vahe'mokizmi erizami'ne. Hagi kagra ama ana mopa eri'za nehano?
Khathesi-ke iNkosi, uNkulunkulu kaIsrayeli, yawaxotsha elifeni amaAmori phambi kwabantu bayo uIsrayeli; kanti wena uzakudla ilifa lalo yini?
24 Hagi tamagri havi anumza Kemosi'ma tamisia zantamina tamagra eriho. Hagi Ra Anumzana tagri Anumzamo'ma zamahe kasopenetreno erirami'nesia zana erigahune.
Kawuyikudla yini ilifa lalokhu uKemoshi unkulunkulu wakho akunika ukudla ilifa lakho? Ngakho loba ngubani iNkosi uNkulunkulu wethu ezamxotsha elifeni phambi kwethu, lokhu sizakudla ilifa lakho.
25 Hagi kagra Sipori nemofo, Moapu kini ne' Baraki kna hunano? Hagi agra hafra huoranteno, hara huorantenefi?
Pho-ke wena ungcono yini okwedlula uBalaki indodana kaZipori inkosi yakoMowabi? Wake waxabana loIsrayeli; kumbe wake walwa labo yini;
26 Hagi Hesboni kuma'ene ana tava'onte'ma megagi'nea ne'one kumatamine, Aroel kuma'ene, ana tava'onte'ma megagi'nea neonse kumatamine, Arnoni tinte'ma meno vu'nea kumatamimpinema Israeli vahe'mo'zama 300'a kafufima mani'nazana, nahigenka kora ana knafina ama ana mopa e'ori'nanane?
lapho uIsrayeli esehlala eHeshiboni lemizaneni yayo, leAroweri lemizaneni yayo, lakuyo yonke imizi esekhunjini lweArinoni, iminyaka engamakhulu amathathu? Kungani-ke ungayophulanga ngalesosikhathi?
27 E'ina hu'negu nagra mago havizana huogante'noe. Hianagi kagra haviza hunka hara eme hunenantane. Kagra tamage nehampi, nagra nehufi Ra Anumzamoke refko'a hurantegahie.
Ngakho mina kangonanga kuwe, kodwa wena wenza okubi kimi ngokulwa lami; iNkosi uMahluleli kahlulele lamuhla phakathi kwabantwana bakoIsrayeli labantwana bakoAmoni.
28 Hianagi Amoni kini ne'mo'a Jepta'ma huzmantege'zama vaza vahe'mokizmi nanekea ontahi'ne.
Kodwa inkosi yabantwana bakoAmoni kayilalelanga amazwi kaJefitha awathumela kuyo.
29 Ana'ma higeno'a Ra Anumzamofo Avamu'mo'a Jeptante egeno Jepta'a sondia vahe'a nezmavreno Giliati mopafine Manase mopafine Giliati kaziga Mispa kumate uhanatiteno, Mispatira Amoni kumate vuno Amoni vahera hara huzmante'naku vu'ne.
UMoya weNkosi wasesiza phezu kukaJefitha, wedlula eGileyadi leManase, wedlula eMizipa yeGileyadi; esuka eMizipa wedlulela kubantwana bakoAmoni.
30 Hagi Jepta'a Ra Anumzamofona amanage huno huvempa hunte'ne, Amoni vahe'ma kagrama nazampima zamavarente'nanke'na zamahe hnama hute'na,
UJefitha wafunga isifungo eNkosini wathi: Uba uzanikela lokunikela abantwana bakoAmoni esandleni sami,
31 hazenkema e'ori'na narimpa frunema ete kumate'ma vanugeno'ma nonifinti'ma mago zagamo'ma ese'ma atiramino'ma eme tutagihama hunante'nia zaga, e'i Ra Anumzamoka suza megahianki'na, ahe'na kre fanane hu ofa kagritega hugahue.
kuzakuthi loba yikuphi okuphuma eminyango yendlu yami ukungihlangabeza ekubuyeni kwami ngokuthula ngivela kubantwana bakoAmoni, kuzakuba ngokweNkosi, ngizakunikela kube ngumnikelo wokutshiswa.
32 Anagema huteno'a Jepta'a sondia vahe'a nezmavreno tina takaheno Amoni vahe'ene hara ome higeno, Ra Anumzamo'a aza higeno Amoni vahera hara huzamagatere'ne.
Ngakho uJefitha wasesedlulela ebantwaneni bakoAmoni ukulwa emelene labo; iNkosi yasibanikela esandleni sakhe.
33 Hagi 20'a kuma'ma ha'ma hunte'neana, Aroeri kumateti agafa huno vuno Miniti kumate vuteno, Abel-keramimi kumate'ma mani'zama vu'naza Amori vahera rama'a nezamaheno kuma'ziminena erihaviza hu'ne.
Wasebatshaya kusukela eAroweri uze ufike eMinithi, imizi engamatshumi amabili, kuze kube seAbeli-Keramimi, ukutshaya okukhulukazi. Ngokunjalo abantwana bakoAmoni behliselwa phansi phambi kwabantwana bakoIsrayeli.
34 Hagi Jepta'ma kuma'are'ma Mispama egeno'a, mofa'amo'a tamborini neheno zagamera huno avoa reno amarara hu'ne. E'ina mofara magoke ante'nea mofakino, rua mago nero mofaro onte'ne.
UJefitha wasefika eMizipa endlini yakhe. Khangela-ke, indodakazi yakhe yaphuma ukumhlangabeza, ilezigujana, lemigido; yayiyiyo yodwa eyakhe; ngaphandle kwayo wayengelandodana lendodakazi.
35 Hagi Jepta'ma mofa'ama negeno'a kukena'a tagato nehuno, tusi krafa huno amanage hu'ne, Mofanimoka tusi'a hazenke erinaminkeno tumonimo'a atane. Na'ankure Ra Anumzamofonte'ma huvempama hu'noa kea eriotregosue.
Kwasekusithi lapho eyibona wadabula izigqoko zakhe wathi: Maye ndodakazi yami! Ungithobisile kakhulu, njalo wena uphakathi kwabangihluphayo, ngoba mina ngivule umlomo wami eNkosini, ngingeke ngibuyele emuva.
36 Anagema higeno'a Jepta mofamo'a amanage hu'ne, Nenfaga, Ra Anumzamofoma kagi'ma reakama hunka asami'nana kante antenka nagritera anazana huo. Na'ankure Ra Anumzamo'a kaza higenka ha' vaheka'a Amoni vahera zamahe vagare'nane.
Yasisithi kuye: Baba, uvulile umlomo wakho eNkosini, yenza kimi njengalokho okuphume emlonyeni wakho, lokhu iNkosi ikuphindisele ezitheni zakho, ebantwaneni bakoAmoni.
37 Hianagi ese'zana natrege'na tare ikampina agonarega mofane zagane vano nehu'na, vema e'ori'na frisua zankura nasunkura nehu'na zavira ata'neno.
Yasisithi kuyise: Akungenzele linto: Ngiyekela inyanga ezimbili, ngiye ngehle ezintabeni, ngililele ubuntombi bami, mina labangane bami.
38 Anagema mofa'amo'ma higeno'a Jepta'a vuo huno huntegeno, mofane zagane agonarega marerino vema e'ori'neno frisia zankura tare ikampi asunkura huno zavira ate'ne.
Wasesithi: Hamba. Waseyiyekela ihamba inyanga ezimbili. Yasihamba, yona labangane bayo, yalilela ubuntombi bayo ezintabeni.
39 Hagi tare ikama evigeno'a ana mofamo'a nefante egeno nefa'a Ra Anumzamofoma huvempa hunte'neaza hu'ne. Ana mofamo'a vea e'ori'neno fri'neankino anazamo'a, Israeli vahepina mago zamavu'zamava me'neanki'za,
Kwasekusithi ekupheleni kwenyanga ezimbili yabuyela kuyise, owenza kuyo isifungo sakhe asifungayo; yona kayiyazanga indoda. Kwasekusiba ngumkhuba koIsrayeli:
40 kafune kafunena ana knama ege'za Israeli mofa'nemo'za agonarega mareri'za 4'a zagegnafi Giliati ne' Jepta mofakura zavira ometetere nehaze.
Iminyaka ngeminyaka amadodakazi akoIsrayeli ayehamba ukuyakhumbula indodakazi kaJefitha umGileyadi insuku ezine ngomnyaka.
