12 Emva kwalokho uJeftha wathuma izithunywa enkosini yama-Amoni lombuzo othi: “Kuyini osibangisa khona uze uhlasele ilizwe lethu na?”
and to send: depart Jephthah messenger to(wards) king son: descendant/people Ammon to/for to say what? to/for me and to/for you for to come (in): come to(wards) me to/for to fight in/on/with land: country/planet my
13 Inkosi yama-Amoni yaphendula izithunywa zikaJeftha yathi, “Abako-Israyeli sebesukile eGibhithe bathatha ilizwe lami kusukela e-Arinoni kusiya eJabhoki, umango wonke kusiya eJodani. Khathesi libuyiseleni ngokuthula.”
and to say king son: descendant/people Ammon to(wards) messenger Jephthah for to take: take Israel [obj] land: country/planet my in/on/with to ascend: rise he from Egypt from Arnon and till [the] Jabbok and till [the] Jordan and now to return: rescue [emph?] [obj] them in/on/with peace
14 UJeftha wazibuyisela izithunywa enkosini yama-Amoni

15 esithi, “Nanku okutshiwo nguJeftha: U-Israyeli kazange athathe ilizwe laseMowabi loba ilizwe lama-Amoni.
and to say to/for him thus to say Jephthah not to take: take Israel [obj] land: country/planet Moab and [obj] land: country/planet son: descendant/people Ammon
16 Kodwa ekusukeni kwakhe eGibhithe, u-Israyeli wadabula enkangala esiya oLwandle oluBomvu eqonda eKhadeshi.
for in/on/with to ascend: rise they from Egypt and to go: went Israel in/on/with wilderness till sea Red (Sea) and to come (in): come Kadesh [to]
17 U-Israyeli wathuma izithunywa enkosini yase-Edomi esithi, ‘Ake usinike imvumo yokudabula phakathi kwelizwe lakho,’ kodwa inkosi yase-Edomi kayilalelanga. Bathumela lasenkosini yaseMowabi, layo yala. Ngakho u-Israyeli wahlala eKhadeshi.
and to send: depart Israel messenger to(wards) king Edom to/for to say to pass please in/on/with land: country/planet your and not to hear: hear king Edom and also to(wards) king Moab to send: depart and not be willing and to dwell Israel in/on/with Kadesh
18 Emva kwalokho bahamba bedabula phakathi kwenkangala, beceza ilizwe lase-Edomi lelaseMowabi, badlula beseceleni elingasempumalanga kwelizwe laseMowabi, bamisa ngakwelinye icele le-Arinoni. Kabangenanga elizweni laseMowabi, ngoba i-Arinoni yayingumngcele walo.
and to go: walk in/on/with wilderness and to turn: surround [obj] land: country/planet Edom and [obj] land: country/planet Moab and to come (in): come from east sun to/for land: country/planet Moab and to camp [emph?] in/on/with side: beside Arnon and not to come (in): come in/on/with border: area Moab for Arnon border: boundary Moab
19 U-Israyeli wasethuma izithunywa kuSihoni inkosi yama-Amori, owayebusa eHeshibhoni, wathi kuye, ‘Akusivumele sidlule phakathi kwelizwe lakho sisiya endaweni yethu.’
and to send: depart Israel messenger to(wards) Sihon king [the] Amorite king Heshbon and to say to/for him Israel to pass please in/on/with land: country/planet your till place my
20 Kodwa uSihoni kamthembanga u-Israyeli ukuba adlule phakathi kwelizwe lakhe. Wabutha abantu bakhe bonke wamisa eJahazi walwa lo-Israyeli.
and not be faithful Sihon [obj] Israel to pass in/on/with border: area his and to gather Sihon [obj] all people: soldiers his and to camp in/on/with Jahaz [to] and to fight with Israel
21 Ngakho uThixo, uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli, wanikela uSihoni labantu bakhe bonke ezandleni zika-Israyeli, wabehlula. U-Israyeli walithatha lonke ilizwe lama-Amori ayehlala kulelolizwe,
and to give: give LORD God Israel [obj] Sihon and [obj] all people: soldiers his in/on/with hand: power Israel and to smite them and to possess: take Israel [obj] all land: country/planet [the] Amorite to dwell [the] land: country/planet [the] he/she/it

and to possess: take [obj] all border: area [the] Amorite from Arnon and till [the] Jabbok and from [the] wilderness and till [the] Jordan
23 Njengoba uThixo, uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli, ewaxotshile ama-Amori phambi kwabantu bakhe u-Israyeli, wena ulelungelo bani lokulithatha na?
and now LORD God Israel to possess: take [obj] [the] Amorite from face: before people his Israel and you(m. s.) to possess: take him
24 Kawuyikuthatha lokho okuphiwa ngunkulunkulu wakho uKhemoshi na? Ngokunjalo, yiloba yikuphi uThixo uNkulunkulu wethu asiphe khona, sizakuthatha.
not [obj] which to possess: possess you Chemosh God your [obj] him to possess: take and [obj] all which to possess: take LORD God our from face: before our [obj] him to possess: take
25 Wena ungcono yini kuloBhalaki indodana kaZiphori, inkosi yaseMowabi? Wake waxabana lo-Israyeli loba walwa laye na?
and now be pleasing be pleasing you(m. s.) from Balak son: child Zippor king Moab to contend to contend with Israel if to fight to fight in/on/with them
26 U-Israyeli wahlala eHeshibhoni iminyaka engamakhulu amathathu, e-Aroweri, lasemizaneni eseduzane kanye lakuyo yonke imizi elinganisane le-Arinoni. Kungani ungazihlangulanga lezondawo ngalesosikhathi?
in/on/with to dwell Israel in/on/with Heshbon and in/on/with daughter: village her and in/on/with Aroer and in/on/with daughter: village her and in/on/with all [the] city which upon hand: bank Arnon three hundred year and why? not to rescue in/on/with time [the] he/she/it
27 Kangikonelanga, kodwa wena wenza okubi kimi ngokungihlasela ngempi. Akuthi uThixo, uMahluleli, ahlulele umbango ngalolosuku phakathi kwabako-Israyeli lama-Amoni.”
and I not to sin to/for you and you(m. s.) to make: do with me distress: evil to/for to fight in/on/with me to judge LORD [the] to judge [the] day: today between son: descendant/people Israel and between son: descendant/people Ammon

29 Lapho-ke uMoya kaThixo wehlela kuJeftha. Wadabula eGiliyadi kanye lakoManase, wedlula eMizipha yaseGiliyadi, kuthe esuka lapho waqhubekela kuma-Amoni.
