And Jephthah the Gileadite he was a mighty [man] of strength and he [was] [the] son of a woman a prostitute and he fathered Gilead Jephthah.
2 Nzokande mwasi ya Galadi abotelaki ye mpe bana mibali. Mpe tango bakolaki, babenganaki Jefite; balobaki na ye: « Ozali na libula te kati na ndako ya tata na biso, pamba te ozali mwana ya makangu. »

3 Boye, Jefite akimaki mosika ya bandeko na ye ya mibali mpe akomaki kovanda kati na etuka ya Tobi. Bato ya mobulu basanganaki na ye mpe bazalaki kotambola elongo na ye.
And he fled Jephthah [away] from before brothers his and he dwelt in [the] land of Tob and they joined themselves to Jephthah men unprincipled and they went out with him.
4 Sima na mwa tango, bato ya Amoni babundisaki Isalaele.

5 Wana bato ya Amoni bazalaki kobundisa bana ya Isalaele, bampaka ya Galadi bakendeki koluka Jefite, kati na Tobi.
And it was just when they fought [the] people of Ammon with Israel and they went [the] elders of Gilead to fetch Jephthah from [the] land of Tob.
6 Balobaki na Jefite: — Yaka, mpe zala mokambi na biso mpo ete tobundisa bato ya Amoni.
And they said to Jephthah come! and you will become of us a commander so let us fight against [the] people of Ammon.
7 Jefite azongiselaki bampaka ya Galadi: — Boni, ezali bino te bato oyo boyinaki ngai mpe bobenganaki ngai wuta na ndako ya tata na ngai? Mpo na nini bozali koya sik’oyo epai na ngai, awa bokomi na pasi?
And he said Jephthah to [the] elders of Gilead ¿ not you did you hate me and did you drive out? me from [the] house of father my and why? have you come to me now just when [is] distress to you.
8 Bampaka ya Galadi balobaki lisusu na Jefite: — Soki tozongi sik’oyo epai na yo, ezali mpo ete oya elongo na biso, obundisa bato ya Amoni mpe okoma mokonzi na biso, mokonzi ya bavandi nyonso ya Galadi.
And they said [the] elders of Gilead to Jephthah therefore now we have returned to you and you will come with us and you will fight against [the] people of Ammon and you will become of us chief of all [the] inhabitants of Gilead.
9 Jefite azongiselaki bampaka ya Galadi: — Soki bozongisi ngai mpo na kobundisa bato ya Amoni, bongo Yawe akabi bango na maboko na ngai, boni, nakozala solo mokonzi na bino?
And he said Jephthah to [the] elders of Gilead if [are] bringing back you me to fight against [the] people of Ammon and he will deliver up Yahweh them before me I I will become of you chief.
10 Bampaka ya Galadi bazongiselaki Jefite: — Tika ete Yawe azala Motatoli kati na biso! Tika ete apesa biso etumbu soki tosali te ndenge olobi.
And they said [the] elders of Gilead to Jephthah Yahweh he will be hearing between us if not according to word your so we will do.
11 Boye Jefite akendeki nzela moko na bampaka ya Galadi, mpe bato ya Galadi bakomisaki ye mokambi mpe mokonzi ya mampinga. Mpe Jefite azongelaki koloba maloba na ye nyonso liboso ya Yawe, kati na Mitsipa.
And he went Jephthah with [the] elders of Gilead and they made the people him over them into chief and into commander and he spoke Jephthah all words his before Yahweh in Mizpah.
12 Bongo Jefite atindaki bantoma epai ya mokonzi ya bato ya Amoni mpo na koloba na ye: — Ozwi biso na likambo nini mpo ete oya kobundisa mboka na biso?
And he sent Jephthah messengers to [the] king of [the] people of Ammon saying what? [is] to me and to you that you have come to me to wage war against land my.
13 Mokonzi ya bato ya Amoni azongiselaki bantoma ya Jefite: — Ezali mpo ete Isalaele abotolaki mokili na ngai tango abimaki na Ejipito; babotolaki mokili yango longwa na lubwaku ya Arinoni, mayi moke ya Yaboki kino na lubwaku ya Yordani. Sik’oyo, zongisela ngai yango na kimia.
And he said [the] king of [the] people of Ammon to [the] messengers of Jephthah that it took Israel land my when came up it from Egypt from [the] Arnon and to the Jabbok and to the Jordan and therefore restore! them in peace.
14 Jefite atindaki lisusu bantoma epai ya mokonzi ya bato ya Amoni mpo na koloba na ye:
And he repeated again Jephthah and he sent messengers to [the] king of [the] people of Ammon.
15 — Tala maloba oyo Jefite alobi: « Bana ya Isalaele bazwaki mokili ya Moabi te to mokili ya bato ya Amoni te.
And he said to him thus he says Jephthah not it has taken Israel [the] land of Moab and [the] land of [the] people of Ammon.
16 Kasi tango bana ya Isalaele babimaki na Ejipito, batambolaki na esobe kino na ebale monene ya Barozo, mpe bakomaki na Kadeshi.
That when came up they from Egypt and it went Israel in the wilderness to [the] sea of reed[s] and it came Kadesh towards.
17 Batindaki bantoma epai ya mokonzi ya Edomi, mpo na koloba na ye: ‹ Pesa biso nzela ya koleka na mokili na yo. › Kasi mokonzi ya Edomi aboyaki koyoka. Bana ya Isalaele batindaki lisusu bantoma epai ya mokonzi ya Moabi, kasi ye mpe aboyaki. Boye, bana ya Isalaele bawumelaki na Kadeshi.
And it sent Israel messengers - to [the] king of Edom - saying let me pass please in land your and not he listened [the] king of Edom and also to [the] king of Moab it sent and not he was willing and it remained Israel at Kadesh.
18 Na sima, batambolaki na esobe mpe babalukaki na sima ya mokili ya Edomi mpe ya Moabi, balekaki na ngambo ya este ya mokili ya Moabi mpe batongaki milako na bango kuna, na ngambo mosusu ya lubwaku ya Arinoni. Kasi bakotaki te na mokili ya Moabi.
And it went in the wilderness and it went around [the] land of Edom and [the] land of Moab and it came from [the] rising of [the] sun of [the] land of Moab and they encamped! on [the] other side of [the] Arnon and not they went in [the] territory of Moab for [the] Arnon [was] [the] border of Moab.
19 Bongo bana ya Isalaele batindaki bantoma epai ya Sikoni, mokonzi ya bato ya Amori, oyo azalaki kovanda na Eshiboni mpo na koloba na ye: ‹ Tika biso toleka na mokili na yo mpo ete tokende na esika na biso. ›
And it sent Israel messengers to Sihon [the] king of the Amorite[s] [the] king of Heshbon and it said to him Israel let us pass please in land your to own place my.
20 Kasi Sikoni andimaki te bana ya Isalaele mpo ete baleka na mokili na ye. Boye asangisaki bato na ye nyonso; batongaki milako, na Yakatsi, mpe babundisaki Isalaele.
And not he trusted Sihon Israel to pass in territory his and he gathered Sihon all people his and they encamped at Jahaz and he fought with Israel.
21 Kasi Yawe, Nzambe ya Isalaele, akabaki Sikoni mpe bato na ye nyonso na maboko ya bana ya Isalaele, mpe balongaki bango. Boye bana ya Isalaele babotolaki mokili nyonso ya bato ya Amori oyo bazalaki kovanda na etando wana.
And he gave Yahweh [the] God of Israel Sihon and all people his in [the] hand of Israel and they defeated them and it took possession of Israel all [the] land of the Amorite[s] [who] dwelt of the land that.
22 Babotolaki etuka nyonso ya bato ya Amori, longwa na lubwaku ya Arinoni kino na mayi moke ya Yaboki, longwa na esobe kino na Yordani.
And they took possession of all [the] territory of the Amorite[s] from [the] Arnon and to the Jabbok and from the wilderness and to the Jordan.
23 Awa Yawe, Nzambe ya Isalaele, asili kobotola mokili ya bato ya Amori mpe apesi yango epai ya bana ya Isalaele, yo olingi sik’oyo kobotola bango yango?
And now Yahweh - [the] God of Israel he has dispossessed the Amorite[s] from before people his Israel and you will you take possession of? it.
24 Boni, okozwa te oyo Kemoshi, nzambe na yo, apesi yo? Biso tokozwa oyo Yawe, Nzambe na biso, apesi biso.
¿ Not [that] which he will cause to possess you Chemosh god your it will you take possession of and all that he has dispossessed Yahweh God our from before us it we will take possession of.
25 Boni, ozali malamu koleka Balaki, mwana mobali ya Tsipori, mokonzi ya Moabi? Boni, asila koswanisa to kobundisa bana ya Isalaele?
And now ¿ really good [are] you more than Balak [the] son of Zippor [the] king of Moab ¿ really did he quarrel with Israel or? ever did he wage war against them.
26 Mibu nkama misato, bana ya Isalaele bavandaki na Eshiboni, na Aroeri, na bamboka na yango ya mike mpe na bingumba nyonso oyo ezali pembeni ya Arinoni. Mpo na nini bobotolaki yango te na tango wana?
When dwelt Israel in Heshbon and in daughters its and in Aroer and in daughters its and in all the cities which [were] on [the] sides of [the] Arnon three hundred year[s] and why? not did you recover [them] at the time that.
27 Ngai nasali yo mabe te, kasi yo nde ozali kosala ngai mabe na kobundisa ngai. Tika ete Yawe, Mosambisi, akata lelo likambo kati na bana ya Isalaele mpe bato ya Amoni. »
And I not I have sinned to you and you [are] doing with me evil by waging war against me may he judge Yahweh the judge this day between [the] people of Israel and between [the] people of Ammon.
28 Kasi mokonzi ya Amoni aboyaki koyoka maloba oyo Jefite atindelaki ye.
And not he listened [the] king of [the] people of Ammon to [the] words of Jephthah which he sent to him.
29 Molimo na Yawe akitelaki Jefite. Jefite akatisaki Galadi mpe Manase, mpe alekaki na Mitsipe ya Galadi. Wuta na Mitsipe ya Galadi, akendeki kobundisa bato ya Amoni.
And it was on Jephthah [the] spirit of Yahweh and he passed through Gilead and Manasseh and he passed through Mizpah of Gilead and from Mizpah of Gilead he he passed on [the] people of Ammon.
30 Jefite alapaki ndayi epai na Yawe, alobaki: « Soki okabi bato ya Amoni na maboko na ngai,
And he vowed Jephthah a vow to Yahweh and he said certainly [if] you will give [the] people of Ammon in hand my.
31 nakobonzela Yo, Yawe, lokola mbeka ya kotumba, nyonso oyo ekobima na ekuke ya ndako na ngai mpo na koyamba ngai, tango nakozonga na elonga wuta na bato ya Amoni. »
And it will be whatever comes out which it will come out from [the] doors of house my to meet me when return I in peace from [the] people of Ammon and it will belong to Yahweh and I will offer up it a burnt offering.
32 Bongo Jefite akatisaki bandelo ya bato ya Amoni, mpe Yawe akabaki bango na maboko na ye.
And he passed on Jephthah to [the] people of Ammon to fight against them (and he gave them *L(abh)*) Yahweh in hand his.
33 Abebisaki bingumba tuku mibale oyo ezali na kati-kati ya Aroeri mpe Miniti kino na Abele-Keramimi. Ezalaki kobebisama ya makasi mpo na bato ya Amoni oyo bakweyaki liboso ya bana ya Isalaele.
And he defeated them from Aroer and until coming you Minnith twenty citi[es] and to Abel Keramim a defeat great very and they were subdued [the] people of Ammon from before [the] people of Israel.
34 Tango Jefite azongaki na ndako na ye, na Mitsipa, mwana na ye ya mwasi abimaki mpo na koyamba ye; azalaki kobina mpe kobeta mbonda ya moke. Azalaki mwana na ye kaka moko: azalaki na mwana mosusu te, ezala ya mwasi to ya mobali.
And he came Jephthah Mizpah to house his and there! daughter his [was] coming out to meet him with tambourines and with dancing and only she [was] an only [child] not [belonged] to him from him a son or a daughter.
35 Tango kaka Jefite amonaki ye, apasolaki bilamba na ye mpe agangaki: — Ah, mwana na ngai ya mwasi! Opesi ngai mawa mingi mpe otie ngai na mobulu, pamba te nalapaki ndayi epai na Yawe mpe nakoki lisusu kozonga sima te.
And it was when saw he her and he tore clothes his and he said alas! O daughter my certainly you have brought low me and you you are among [those who] trouble me and I I have opened mouth my to Yahweh and not I am able to turn back.
36 Mwana na ye ya mwasi alobaki: — Tata na ngai, opesaki elaka epai na Yawe. Sala na ngai ndenge olakaki epai na Yawe, pamba te Yawe azongisi mabe na mabe epai ya banguna na yo, bato ya Amoni.
And she said to him O father my you have opened mouth your to Yahweh do to me just as it has come out from mouth your after that he did for you Yahweh vengeance from enemies your from [the] people of Ammon.
37 Abakisaki: — Pesa ngai nzela ete likambo oyo moko esalema mpo na ngai: Tikela ngai basanza mibale mpo ete nakende koyengayenga mpe kolela, elongo na baninga na ngai, bozangi na ngai koyeba nzoto ya mobali.
And she said to father her let it be done for me the thing this refrain from me two months so let me go and I will go down on the mountains so I may weep on virginiti my I (and companions my. *Q(K)*)
38 Jefite alobaki na ye: — Okoki na yo kokende. Mpe atikaki ye kokende mpo na basanza mibale. Boye mwana mwasi akendeki na ngomba elongo na baninga na ye ya basi, mpe alelaki mpo ete ayebaki nanu nzoto ya mibali te.
And he said go and he sent away her two months and she went she and companions her and she wept on virginiti her on the mountains.
39 Sima na basanza mibale, azongaki epai ya tata na ye, Jefite; mpe Jefite akokisaki epai ya mwana na ye ya mwasi, ndayi oyo alapaki. Nzokande, atikalaki kaka koyeba nzoto ya mobali te. Boye, ekoma momesano kati na Isalaele:
And it was from [the] end of - two months and she returned to father her and he did to her vow his which he had vowed and she not she had known a man and it was a custom in Israel.
