Mpitsara 11
1 Ary Jefta Gileadita dia lehilahy mahery sy zanaky ny vehivavy janga; ary Gileada no rainy niteraka azy.
Then Gilead begate Iphtah, and Iphtah the Gileadite was a valiant man, but the sonne of an harlot.
2 Ary ny vadin’ i Gileada dia niteraka zazalahy maro taminy; ary nony efa lehibe ireo zana-badiny ireo, dia nandroaka an’ i Jefta ka nanao taminy hoe: Tsy handova eto amin’ ny taranaky ny rainay ianao, fa zanaky ny vehivavy hafa.
And Gileads wife bare him sonnes, and when the womans children were come to age, they thrust out Iphtah, and sayd vnto him, Thou shalt not inherite in our fathers house: for thou art the sonne of a strange woman.
3 Ary Jefta nandositra ny rahalahiny ka nonina tany amin’ ny tany Toba; dia nisy olom-poana nivory teo amin’ i Jefta ka niaraka taminy.
Then Iphtah fledde from his brethren, and dwelt in the land of Tob: and there gathered idle fellowes to Iphtah, and went out with him.
4 Ary nony ela, dia nanafika ny Zanak’ Isiraely ny taranak’ i Amona.
And in processe of time the children of Ammon made warre with Israel.
5 Ary rehefa nanafika ny Isiraely ny taranak’ i Amona, dia nandeha ny loholon’ i Gileada haka an’ i Jefta hiala any amin’ ny tany Toba.
And when the children of Ammon fought with Israel, the Elders of Gilead went to fet Iphtah out of the land of Tob.
6 Ary hoy izy ireo taminy: Avia ho mpitarika anay ianao, hiadiantsika amin’ ny taranak’ i Amona.
And they saide vnto Iphtah, Come and be our captaine, that we may fight with the children of Ammon.
7 Fa hoy Jefta tamin’ ny loholon’ i Gileada: Tsy efa nankahala ahy va ianareo ka nandroaka ahy hiala tao an-tranon’ ny raiko? Koa nahoana no mankaty amiko indray ianareo ankehitriny, nony azom-pahoriana?
Iphtah then answered the Elders of Gilead, Did not ye hate me, and expell me out of my fathers house? how then come you vnto me now in time of your tribulation?
8 Dia hoy ny loholon’ i Gileada tamin’ i Jefta: Izany no iverenanay atỳ aminao ankehitriny, mba handehananao miaraka aminay, sy hiadianao amin’ ny taranak’ i Amona, ka dia ho lohany aminay mponina rehetra any Gileada ianao.
Then the Elders of Gilead saide vnto Iphtah, Therefore we turne againe to thee now, that thou mayest goe with vs, and fight against the children of Ammon, and bee our head ouer all the inhabitants of Gilead.
9 Dia hoy Jefta tamin’ ny loholon’ i Gileada: Raha ho entinareo mody indray aho mba hiady amin’ ny taranak’ i Amona, ka hatolotr’ i Jehovah eo anoloako ireny, dia izaho hoe no ho lohany aminareo?
And Iphtah said vnto the Elders of Gilead, If ye bring me home againe to fight against the children of Ammon, if the Lord giue them before me, shall I be your head?
10 Dia hoy ny loholon’ i Gileada tamin’ i Jefta: Jehovah no ho vavolombelona amintsika, raha tsy hataonay araka izany teninao izany.
And the Elders of Gilead saide to Iphtah, The Lord be witnesse betweene vs, if we doe not according to thy wordes.
11 Dia nandeha Jefta niaraka tamin’ ny loholon’ i Gileada, ka dia nasandratry ny vahoaka ho lohany sy ho mpitarika azy izy; ary Jefta nilaza ny teniny rehetra teo anatrehan’ i Jehovah tao Mizpa.
Then Iphtah went with the Elders of Gilead, and the people made him head and captaine ouer them: and Iphtah rehearsed all his wordes before the Lord in Mizpeh.
12 Dia naniraka olona Jefta nankamin’ ny mpanjakan’ ny taranak’ i Amona hanao hoe: Moa mifaninona akory izaho sy ianao, no tonga atỳ amiko hiady amin’ ny taniko ianao?
Then Iphtah sent messengers vnto the king of the children of Ammon, saying, What hast thou to doe with me, that thou art come against me, to fight in my lande?
13 Dia hoy ny mpanjakan’ ny taranak’ i Amona tamin’ ny irak’ i Jefta: Satria nalain’ ny Isiraely ny taniko hatrany Arnona ka hatrany Jaboka ary hatrany Jordana, fony niakatra avy tany Egypta izy; koa avereno amin’ ny fihavanana ary izany ankehitriny.
And the King of the children of Ammon answered vnto the messengers of Iphtah, Because Israel tooke my lande, when they came vp from Egypt, from Arnon vnto Iabbok, and vnto Iorden: now therefore restore those lands quietly.
14 Ary Jefta naniraka olona indray nankany amin’ ny mpanakan’ ny taranak’ i Amona
Yet Iphtah sent messengers againe vnto the King of the children of Ammon,
15 ka nanao taminy hoe: Izao no lazain’ i Jefta: Ny Isiraely tsy naka ny tanin’ i Moaba na ny tanin’ ny taranak’ i Amona.
And said vnto him, Thus saith Iphtah, Israel tooke not the lande of Moab, nor the lande of the children of Ammon.
16 Fa fony niakatra avy tany Egypta ny Isiraely, dia nandeha nitety ny efitra hatramin’ ny Ranomasina Mena izy ka tonga tany Kadesy.
But when Israel came vp from Egypt, and walked through the wildernesse vnto the redde Sea, then they came to Kadesh.
17 Dia naniraka olona ny Isiraely nankany amin’ ny mpanjakan’ i Edoma ka nanao hoe: Aoka mba handeha hamaky ny taninao aho; fa tsy nety nihaino izany ny mpanjakan’ i Edoma. Ary naniraka tany amin’ ny mpanjakan’ i Moaba koa izy; fa tsy nety koa izy; dia nitoetra tany Kadesy ny Isiraely.
And Israel sent messengers vnto the king of Edom, saying, Let me, I pray thee, goe thorowe thy lande: but the King of Edom woulde not consent: and also they sent vnto the King of Moab, but he would not: therefore Israel abode in Kadesh.
18 Dia nandeha nitety ny efitra izy ka nanodidina ny tany Edoma sy ny tany Moaba, dia tonga teo atsinanan’ i Moaba, ka nitoby teo an-dafin’ i Arnona, fa tsy niditra teo anatin’ ny faritanin’ i Moaba; fa Arnona no fari-tanin’ i Moaba.
Then they went through the wildernesse, and compassed the lande of Edom, and the lande of Moab, and came by the Eastside of the lande of Moab, and pitched on the other side of Arnon, and came not within the coast of Moab: for Arnon was the border of Moab.
19 Ary ny Isiraely dia naniraka olona tany amin’ i Sihona, mpanjakan’ ny Amorita, izay mpanjakan’ i Hesbona; ary hoy ny Isiraely taminy: Aoka mba handeha hamaky ny taninao izahay hankany amin’ ny fonenanay.
Also Israel sent messengers vnto Sihon, King of the Amorites, the King of Heshbon, and Israel said vnto him, Let vs passe, we pray thee, by thy lande vnto our place.
20 Fa Sihona tsy natoky ny Isiraely hamaky ny fari-taniny, fa namory ny vahoakany rehetra izy, dia nitoby tany Jahaza ka niady tamin’ ny Isiraely.
But Sihon consented not to Israel, that he shoulde goe through his coast: but Sihon gathered all his people together, and pitched in Iahaz, and fought with Israel.
21 Ary Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely, nanolotra an’ i Sihona sy ny vahoakany rehetra teo an-tànan’ ny Isiraely, ka namely azy ireo; dia azon’ ny Isiraely ny tanin’ ny Amorita rehetra, mponina tany amin’ izany tany izany.
And the Lord God of Israel gaue Sihon and all his folke into the handes of Israel, and they smote them: so Israel possessed all the lande of the Amorites, the inhabitants of that countrey:
22 Dia nahazo ny tanin’ ny Amorita rehetra izy hatrany Arnona, ka hatrany Jaboka ary hatramin’ ny efitra ka hatrany Jordana.
And they possessed all the coast of the Amorites, from Arnon vnto Iabbok, and from the wildernesse euen vnto Iorden.
23 Koa ankehitriny, Jehovah, Andriamanitry ny Isiraely, efa nandroaka ny Amorita teo anoloan’ ny Isiraely olony: ary ianao kosa va tahaka ny tany?
Nowe therefore the Lord God of Israel hath cast out the Amorites before his people Israel, and shouldest thou possesse it?
24 Moa tsy hotananao izay tany omen’ i Kemosy andriamanitrao anao va? Atỳ izay tany rehetra omen’ i Jehovah Andriamanitray anay dia mba hotananay kosa.
Wouldest not thou possesse that which Chemosh thy god giueth thee to possesse? So whomesoeuer the Lord our God driueth out before vs, them will we possesse.
25 Moa tsara noho Balaka, zanak’ i Zipora, mpanjakan’ i Moaba, va ianao? Nety nanohitra ny Isiraely na niady taminy akory va izy?
And art thou nowe farre better then Balak the sonne of Zippor King of Moab? did he not striue with Israel and fight against them,
26 Raha ny Isiraely nitoetra telon-jato taona tany Hesboala sy ny zana-bohiny ary tany Aroera sy ny zana-bohiny ary tany amin’ ny tanàna rehetra eny amoron’ i Arnona, nahoana no tsy nalainareo ny tany tamin’ izany andro izany?
When Israel dwelt in Heshbon and in her townes, and in Aroer and in her townes, and in all the cities that are by the coastes of Arnon, three hundreth yeeres? why did ye not then recouer them in that space?
27 Izaho tsy nanota taminao, fa ianao no manisy ratsy ahy, fa miady amiko;
Wherefore, I haue not offended thee: but thou doest me wrong to warre against me. The Lord the Iudge be iudge this day betweene the children of Israel, and the children of Ammon.
28 Nefa tsy nohenoin’ ny mpanjakan’ ny taranak’ i Amona ny tenin’ i Jefta, izay nampitondrainy tany aminy.
Howbeit the King of the children of Ammon hearkened not vnto the wordes of Iphtah, which he had sent him.
29 Ary tonga tao amin’ i Jefta ny Fanahin’ i Jehovah, dia nandeha nitety an’ i Gileada sy Manase izy; ka dia nitety an’ i Mizpa any Gileada koa izy ka niala tany Mizpa any Gileada, dia nandroso nankany amin’ ny taranak’ i Amona.
Then the Spirite of the Lord came vpon Iphtah, and he passed ouer to Gilead and to Manasseh, and came to Mizpeh in Gilead, and from Mizpeh in Gilead he went vnto the children of Ammon.
30 Ary Jefta nivoady tamin’ i Jehovah ka nanao hoe: Raha hatolotrao eo an-tanako tokoa ny taranak’ i Amona,
And Iphtah vowed a vowe vnto the Lord, and said, If thou shalt deliuer the children of Ammon into mine handes,
31 dia ho an’ i Jehovah Izay mivoaka amin’ ny varavaran’ ny tranoko hitsena ahy, rehefa miverina soa aman-tsara avy any amin’ ny taranak’ i Amona aho, ary hateriko ho fanatitra dorana izany.
Then that thing that commeth out of the doores of mine house to meete me, when I come home in peace from the children of Ammon, shall be the Lordes, and I will offer it for a burnt offering.
32 Dia nandeha Jefta nankany amin’ ny taranak’ i Amona hiady aminy: ary natolotr’ i Jehovah teo an-tànany ireo.
And so Iphtah went vnto the children of Ammon to fight against them, and the Lord deliuered them into his handes.
33 Dia namely azy izy hatrany Aroera ka hatrany akaikin’ i Minita sy hatrany Abela-keramima, dia tanàna roa-polo, ka be dia be no maty. Dia resy teo anoloan’ ny Zanak’ Isiraely ny taranak’ i Amona.
And he smote them from Aroer euen till thou come to Minnith, twentie cities, and so foorth to Abel of the vineyardes, with an exceeding great slaughter. Thus the children of Ammon were humbled before the children of Israel.
34 Ary Jefta tonga tany Mizpa ho any an-tranony, ary, indro, nivoaka ny zananivavy nitondra ampongatapaka sy mpandihy hitsena azy; ary vavy tokany io, fa tsy nanana zanakalahy na zanakavavy afa-tsy io izy.
Nowe when Iphtah came to Mizpeh vnto his house, beholde, his daughter came out to meete him with timbrels and daunces, which was his onely childe: he had none other sonne, nor daughter.
35 Koa rehefa nahita azy Jefta, dia nandriatra ny fitafiany ka nanao hoe: Indrisy, ry zanako-vavy! Efa nampitanondrika ahy indrindra ianao, ary ianao no tonga nampidi-doza tamiko; fa izaho efa niloa-bava tamin’ i Jehovah, ka tsy azoko afody intsony.
And when hee sawe her, hee rent his clothes, and saide, Alas my daughter, thou hast brought me lowe, and art of them that trouble me: for I haue opened my mouth vnto the Lord, and can not goe backe.
36 Fa hoy ny zananivavy taminy: Ry dada ô, raha niloa-bava tamin’ i Jehovah ary ianao, dia ataovy amiko araka izay naloaky ny vavanao, satria Jehovah efa namaly ny taranak’ i Amona fahavalonao ho anao.
And she said vnto him, My father, if thou hast opened thy mouth vnto the Lord, doe with me as thou hast promised, seeing that the Lord hath auenged thee of thine enemies the children of Ammon.
37 Dia hoy koa izy tamin’ ny rainy: Aoka izao no hatao amiko: aza maninona ahy aloha hatramin’ ny roa volana mba handehandehanako hankeny amin’ ny havoana hitomaniako, izaho sy ny namako, noho izaho mbola tsy nanambady akory.
Also she saide vnto her father, Doe thus much for me: suffer me two moneths, that I may goe to the mountaines, and bewaile my virginitie, I and my fellowes.
38 Dia hoy kosa rainy: Mandehana ary. Dia nampandeha azy roa volana izy; ary dia nandeha razazavavy sy ny namany ka nitomany teny amin’ ny havoana noho izy mbola tsy nanam-bady akory.
And he sayde, Goe: and he sent her away two moneths: so she went with her companions, and lamented her virginitie vpon the moutaines.
39 Ary rehefa tapitra ny roa volana, dia niverina tany amin’ ny rainy izy; ary nataony taminy araka ny voadiny izay nataony; ary tsy mbola nahalala lahy izy. Ary tonga fanao tamin’ ny Isiraely
And after the ende of two moneths, she turned againe vnto her father, who did with her according to his vowe which he had vowed, and she had knowen no man. and it was a custome in Israel:
40 ny fandehanan’ ny zazavavin’ ny Isiraely isan-taona hankalaza ny zanakavavin’ i Jefta Gileadita hefarana isan-taona.
The daughters of Israel went yere by yere to lament the daughter of Iphtah the Gileadite, foure dayes in a yeere.
