Sog̒u 11
1 Jeftus, tas Gileādietis, bija stiprs karavīrs, bet viņš bija maukas bērns, ko Gileāds bija dzemdinājis.
Now Jephthah the Gileadite was a mighty man of valor, and he was the son of a harlot: and Gilead begat Jephthah.
2 Kad nu Gileāda sieva viņam bērnus dzemdēja, un šās sievas bērni pieauga, tad tie Jeftu izdzina un uz to sacīja: tev nebūs mantot mūsu tēva namā, jo tu esi citas sievas dēls.
And Gilead’s wife bare him sons; and when his wife’s sons grew up, they drove out Jephthah, and said unto him, Thou shalt not inherit in our father’s house; for thou art the son of another woman.
3 Tad Jeftus bēga no saviem brāļiem un dzīvoja Tobas zemē, un pie Jeftus sapulcējās nelieši un izgāja līdz ar viņu.
Then Jephthah fled from his brethren, and dwelt in the land of Tob: and there were gathered vain fellows to Jephthah, and they went out with him.
4 Un pēc kāda laika Amona bērni karoja pret Israēli.
And it came to pass after a while, that the children of Ammon made war against Israel.
5 Un kad Amona bērni pret Israēli karoja, tad Gileādas vecaji nogāja, Jeftu atvest no Toba zemes.
And it was so, that, when the children of Ammon made war against Israel, the elders of Gilead went to fetch Jephthah out of the land of Tob;
6 Un tie sacīja uz Jeftu: nāc un esi mums par vadoni un karosim pret Amona bērniem.
and they said unto Jephthah, Come and be our chief, that we may fight with the children of Ammon.
7 Bet Jeftus sacīja uz Gileādas vecajiem: vai jūs mani neesat ienīdējuši un mani izdzinuši no mana tēva nama? Kāpēc tad jūs nu nākat pie manis, kad jums ir bēdas?
And Jephthah said unto the elders of Gilead, Did not ye hate me, and drive me out of my father’s house? and why are ye come unto me now when ye are in distress?
8 Un Gileādas vecaji sacīja uz Jeftu: tāpēc mēs nu pie tevis esam griezušies, ka tev būs iet ar mums un karot pret Amona bērniem; un tev būs būt par galvu mums, visiem Gileāda iedzīvotājiem.
And the elders of Gilead said unto Jephthah, Therefore are we turned again to thee now, that thou mayest go with us, and fight with the children of Ammon; and thou shalt be our head over all the inhabitants of Gilead.
9 Un Jeftus sacīja uz Gileādas vecajiem: kad jūs mani atpakaļ vedat, karot pret Amona bērniem, un kad Tas Kungs tos nodos manā priekšā, tad es jums būšu par galvu.
And Jephthah said unto the elders of Gilead, If ye bring me home again to fight with the children of Ammon, and Jehovah deliver them before me, shall I be your head?
10 Un Gileādas vecaji sacīja uz Jeftu: lai Tas Kungs dzird mūsu sarunu, ja mēs tā nedarīsim, kā tu esi runājis.
And the elders of Gilead said unto Jephthah, Jehovah shall be witness between us; surely according to thy word so will we do.
11 Tad Jeftus gāja līdz Gileādas vecajiem, un tie ļaudis viņu iecēla sev par galvu un par vadoni, un Jeftus runāja visus savus vārdus Tā Kunga priekšā Micpā.
Then Jephthah went with the elders of Gilead, and the people made him head and chief over them: and Jephthah spake all his words before Jehovah in Mizpah.
12 Un Jeftus sūtīja vēstnešus pie Amona bērnu ķēniņa un sacīja: kas tev ar mani, ka tu pie manis esi nācis, karot pret manu zemi?
And Jephthah sent messengers unto the king of the children of Ammon, saying, What hast thou to do with me, that thou art come unto me to fight against my land?
13 Un Amona bērnu ķēniņš sacīja uz Jeftus vēstnešiem: tāpēc ka Israēls paņēmis manu zemi, kad viņš no Ēģiptes atnāca, no Arnonas līdz Jabokai un līdz Jardānei; tad nu atdod man to ar labu.
And the king of the children of Ammon answered unto the messengers of Jephthah, Because Israel took away my land, when he came up out of Egypt, from the Arnon even unto the Jabbok, and unto the Jordan: now therefore restore those [lands] again peaceably.
14 Bet Jeftus sūtīja atkal vēstnešus pie Amona bērnu ķēniņa.
And Jephthah sent messengers again unto the king of the children of Ammon;
15 Un uz to sacīja: tā saka Jeftus: Israēls nav ņēmis ne Moaba zemi, ne Amona bērnu zemi.
and he said unto him, Thus saith Jephthah: Israel took not away the land of Moab, nor the land of the children of Ammon;
16 Jo kad viņš no Ēģiptes izgāja, tad Israēls gāja pa tuksnesi līdz niedru jūrai un nāca uz Kādešu.
but when they came up from Egypt, and Israel went through the wilderness unto the Red Sea, and came to Kadesh;
17 Un Israēls sūtīja vēstnešus pie Edoma ķēniņa un sacīja: ļauj man jel iet caur tavu zemi, bet Edoma ķēniņš neklausīja. Un viņš sūtīja arī pie Moaba ķēniņa; tas arī negribēja. Tā Israēls palika Kādešā.
then Israel sent messengers unto the king of Edom, saying, Let me, I pray thee, pass through thy land; but the king of Edom hearkened not. And in like manner he sent unto the king of Moab; but he would not: and Israel abode in Kadesh.
18 Pēc tam viņš staigaja pa tuksnesi un apgāja ap Edoma zemi un Moaba zemi un nāca no rīta puses uz Moaba zemi; un tie apmetās viņpus Arnonas, bet tie nenāca Moabiešu robežās, jo Arnona ir Moabiešu robeža.
Then they went through the wilderness, and went around the land of Edom, and the land of Moab, and came by the east side of the land of Moab, and they encamped on the other side of the Arnon; but they came not within the border of Moab, for the Arnon was the border of Moab.
19 Bet Israēls sūtīja vēstnešus pie Sihona, Amoriešu ķēniņa, kas bija Hešbonas ķēniņš, un Israēls uz viņu sacīja: ļauj mums jel iet caur tavu zemi līdz savai vietai.
And Israel sent messengers unto Sihon king of the Amorites, the king of Heshbon; and Israel said unto him, Let us pass, we pray thee, through thy land unto my place.
20 Bet Sihons Israēlim neuzticējās, ka tas tam būtu ļāvis iet caur savām robežām, bet Sihons sapulcēja visus savus ļaudis, un tie apmetās Jācā un karoja pret Israēli.
But Sihon trusted not Israel to pass through his border; but Sihon gathered all his people together, and encamped in Jahaz, and fought against Israel.
21 Un Tas Kungs, Israēla Dievs, nodeva Sihonu un visus viņa ļaudis Israēla rokā, ka tie tos sakāva, un Israēls iemantoja visu to zemi no Amoriešiem, kas tai zemē dzīvoja.
And Jehovah, the 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.
22 Un tie uzņēma visas Amoriešu robežas no Arnonas līdz Jabokai un no tuksneša līdz Jardānei.
And they possessed all the border of the Amorites, from the Arnon even unto the Jabbok, and from the wilderness even unto the Jordan.
23 Tā nu Tas Kungs, Israēla Dievs, izdzinis Amoriešus Savu Israēla ļaužu priekšā, un tu gribi uzņemt to zemi?
So now Jehovah, the God of Israel, hath dispossessed the Amorites from before his people Israel, and shouldest thou possess them?
24 Vai tev to nebūs paturēt, ko tavs dievs Kamos tev ir devis? Un mēs gribam paturēt visu to, ko Tas Kungs, mūsu Dievs, mums ir devis.
Wilt not thou possess that which Chemosh thy god giveth thee to possess? So whomsoever Jehovah our God hath dispossessed from before us, them will we possess.
25 Un nu, vai tu esi labāks nekā Balaks, Cipora dēls, Moaba ķēniņš? Vai tas ar Israēli tiesājies, vai tas pret viņiem karojis?
And now art thou anything better than Balak the son of Zippor, king of Moab? did he ever strive against Israel, or did he ever fight against them?
26 Kamēr Israēls dzīvojis Hešbonā un viņas ciemos un Aroērā un viņas ciemos un visās pilsētās, kas pie Arnonas, trīssimt gadus, - kāpēc tu tanī laikā tos neesi atņēmis?
While Israel dwelt in Heshbon and its towns, and in Aroer and its towns, and in all the cities that are along by the side of the Arnon, three hundred years; wherefore did ye not recover them within that time?
27 Un es pret tevi neesmu grēkojis, bet tu dari pret mani ļaunu, pret mani karodams. Tas Kungs, kas ir soģis, lai šodien tiesā starp Israēla bērniem un Amona bērniem.
I therefore have not sinned against thee, but thou doest me wrong to war against me: Jehovah, the Judge, be judge this day between the children of Israel and the children of Ammon.
28 Bet Amona bērnu ķēniņš neklausīja Jeftus vārdiem, ko viņš pie tā bija sūtījis.
Howbeit the king of the children of Ammon hearkened not unto the words of Jephthah which he sent him.
29 Tad Tā Kunga Gars nāca uz Jeftu, un viņš gāja caur Gileādu un Manasu, un viņš gāja uz Micpu Gileādā un no Micpas Gileādā viņš gāja pret Amona bērniem.
Then the Spirit of Jehovah came upon Jephthah, and he passed over Gilead and Manasseh, and passed over Mizpeh of Gilead, and from Mizpeh of Gilead he passed over unto the children of Ammon.
30 Un Jeftus solīja solījumu Tam Kungam un sacīja: ja tu Amona bērnus dosi manā rokā,
And Jephthah vowed a vow unto Jehovah, and said, If thou wilt indeed deliver the children of Ammon into my hand,
31 Tad tam, kas no mana nama durvīm man nāks pretī, kad es ar mieru no Amona bērniem griezīšos atpakaļ, būs piederēt Tam Kungam, un es to upurēšu par dedzināmo upuri.
then it shall be, that whatsoever cometh forth from the doors of my house to meet me, when I return in peace from the children of Ammon, it shall be Jehovah’s, and I will offer it up for a burnt-offering.
32 Tad Jeftus gāja pret Amona bērniem ar tiem kauties, un Tas Kungs tos nodeva viņa rokā.
So Jephthah passed over unto the children of Ammon to fight against them; and Jehovah delivered them into his hand.
33 Un viņš tos kāva varen lielā kaušanā no Aroēra, kamēr nāk uz Minitu, divdesmit pilsētas, un līdz tiem vīna kalnu klajumiem; tā Amona bērni tapa pazemoti Israēla bērnu priekšā.
And he smote them from Aroer until thou come to Minnith, even twenty cities, and unto Abel-cheramim, with a very great slaughter. So the children of Ammon were subdued before the children of Israel.
34 Kad nu Jeftus nāca uz Micpu pie sava nama, redzi, tad viņa meita viņam izgāja pretī ar bungām un stabulēm, un viņa bija tikai viņa vienīgā, un viņam nebija bez tās ne dēla ne meitas.
And Jephthah came to Mizpah unto his house; and, behold, his daughter came out to meet him with timbrels and with dances: and she was his only child; besides her he had neither son nor daughter.
35 Un kad viņš to redzēja, tad viņš saplosīja savas drēbes un sacīja: ak mana meita! Tu mani lauztin esi salauzusi un tu mani apbēdini, jo es savu muti esmu atdarījis Tā Kunga priekšā un nevaru atrauties,
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 unto Jehovah, and I cannot go back.
36 Un viņa uz to sacīja: mans tēvs, ja tu savu muti Tā Kunga priekšā esi atdarījis, tad dari man, kā tas no tavas mutes gājis, kad Tas Kungs tevi atriebis pie taviem ienaidniekiem, Amona bērniem.
And she said unto him, My father, thou hast opened thy mouth unto Jehovah; do unto me according to that which hath proceeded out of thy mouth, forasmuch as Jehovah hath taken vengeance for thee on thine enemies, even on the children of Ammon.
37 Un viņa sacīja uz savu tēvu: lai man tā notiek; dod man vaļu divus mēnešus, ka es eju un noeju kalnos un apraudu savu jumpravību, es ar savām biedrenēm.
And she said unto her father, Let this thing be done for me: let me alone two months, that I may depart and go down upon the mountains, and bewail my virginity, I and my companions.
38 Un viņš sacīja: ej! Un viņš to atlaida divus mēnešus. Tad viņa nogāja ar savām biedrenēm un apraudāja kalnos savu jumpravību.
And he said, Go. And he sent her away for two months: and she departed, she and her companions, and bewailed her virginity upon the mountains.
39 Un pēc diviem mēnešiem tā griezās atpakaļ pie sava tēva, un viņš tai darīja pēc sava solījuma, ko viņš bija solījis, un viņa vīra neatzina.
And it came to pass at the end of two months, that she returned unto her father, who did with her according to his vow which he had vowed: and she knew not man. And it was a custom in Israel,
40 Un iekš Israēla palika par likumu, ka Israēla meitas ik gadus nogāja, Jeftus, tā Gileādieša, meitu, nožēlot četras dienas gadskārtā.
that the daughters of Israel went yearly to celebrate the daughter of Jephthah the Gileadite four days in a year.
