Hagi Jepta'a Giliati kumatera tusi'a hankavenentake ha' ne' mani'ne. Hianagi agra monko a'mofo mofavregino Giliati nemofo'e.
2 UmkaGiliyadi wamzalela amadodana, okwathi esekhulile asexotsha uJeftha. Athi kuye, “Wena akulalifa ozalithola emulini yakwethu ngoba uyindodana yomunye umfazi.”
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.
3 Ngakho uJeftha wabaleka kubafowabo wayahlala elizweni laseThobhi, lapho abuthanelwa khona lixuku lezigebenga zamlandela.
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.
4 Emva kwalokho, kwathi ama-Amoni esesilwa labako-Israyeli,
Hagi mago'a kna evutegeno Amoni vahe'mo'za Israeli vahera agafa hu'za hara huzmante'naze.
5 abadala baseGiliyadi bahamba bayathatha uJeftha elizweni laseThobhi.
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,
6 Bathi kuye, “Woza ube ngumlawuli wamabutho ethu ukuze silwe lama-Amoni.”
kvati emani'negeta Amoni vahera hara huzamantamneno.
7 UJeftha wathi kubo, “Kalingizondanga yini langixotsha endlini kababa na? Kungani lisiza kimi khathesi seliphakathi kohlupho?”
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?
8 Abadala baseGiliyadi bathi kuye, “Lanxa kunjalo, khathesi sesiphendukela kuwe; hamba lathi ekulweni lama-Amoni, njalo uzakuba yinduna yabo bonke abahlala eGiliyadi.”
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.
9 UJeftha waphendula wathi, “Nxa lingabuyela lami ukuyakulwa lama-Amoni uThixo awanikele kimi, ngizakuba yinduna yenu sibili na?”
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?
10 Abadala baseGiliyadi baphendula bathi, “UThixo ungufakazi wethu; sizakwenza njengoba usitsho impela.”
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.
11 Ngakho uJeftha wahamba labadala baseGiliyadi, abantu bamenza waba yinduna lomlawuli wabo. Wawaphinda wonke amazwi akhe phambi kukaThixo eMizipha.
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.
12 Emva kwalokho uJeftha wathuma izithunywa enkosini yama-Amoni lombuzo othi: “Kuyini osibangisa khona uze uhlasele ilizwe lethu na?”
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?
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.”
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.
14 UJeftha wazibuyisela izithunywa enkosini yama-Amoni
Anagema higeno'a Jepta'a Amoni kini netega ete mago'ane kea atregeno kema erino vu' ne'mo'a ome asamino,
15 esithi, “Nanku okutshiwo nguJeftha: U-Israyeli kazange athathe ilizwe laseMowabi loba ilizwe lama-Amoni.
Jepta'a amanage hu'ne, Israeli vahe'mo'a Moapu vahe mopane, Amoni vahe mopa kumazafa osene.
16 Kodwa ekusukeni kwakhe eGibhithe, u-Israyeli wadabula enkangala esiya oLwandle oluBomvu eqonda eKhadeshi.
Hianagi Isipiti'ma mareri'za ne-eza hagage mopafi vu'za korankre hagerinte vute'za, Kadesi kumatera ehanati'naze.
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.
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.
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.
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.
19 U-Israyeli wasethuma izithunywa kuSihoni inkosi yama-Amori, owayebusa eHeshibhoni, wathi kuye, ‘Akusivumele sidlule phakathi kwelizwe lakho sisiya endaweni yethu.’
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.
20 Kodwa uSihoni kamthembanga u-Israyeli ukuba adlule phakathi kwelizwe lakhe. Wabutha abantu bakhe bonke wamisa eJahazi walwa lo-Israyeli.
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.
21 Ngakho uThixo, uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli, wanikela uSihoni labantu bakhe bonke ezandleni zika-Israyeli, wabehlula. U-Israyeli walithatha lonke ilizwe lama-Amori ayehlala kulelolizwe,
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.
22 walithumba lonke elama-Amori kusukela e-Arinoni kusiya eJabhoki lokusuka enkangala kusiya eJodani.
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.
23 Njengoba uThixo, uNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli, ewaxotshile ama-Amori phambi kwabantu bakhe u-Israyeli, wena ulelungelo bani lokulithatha na?
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?
24 Kawuyikuthatha lokho okuphiwa ngunkulunkulu wakho uKhemoshi na? Ngokunjalo, yiloba yikuphi uThixo uNkulunkulu wethu asiphe khona, sizakuthatha.
Hagi tamagri havi anumza Kemosi'ma tamisia zantamina tamagra eriho. Hagi Ra Anumzana tagri Anumzamo'ma zamahe kasopenetreno erirami'nesia zana erigahune.
25 Wena ungcono yini kuloBhalaki indodana kaZiphori, inkosi yaseMowabi? Wake waxabana lo-Israyeli loba walwa laye na?
Hagi kagra Sipori nemofo, Moapu kini ne' Baraki kna hunano? Hagi agra hafra huoranteno, hara huorantenefi?
26 U-Israyeli wahlala eHeshibhoni iminyaka engamakhulu amathathu, e-Aroweri, lasemizaneni eseduzane kanye lakuyo yonke imizi elinganisane le-Arinoni. Kungani ungazihlangulanga lezondawo ngalesosikhathi?
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?
27 Kangikonelanga, kodwa wena wenza okubi kimi ngokungihlasela ngempi. Akuthi uThixo, uMahluleli, ahlulele umbango ngalolosuku phakathi kwabako-Israyeli lama-Amoni.”
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.
28 Kodwa inkosi yama-Amoni kayilinakanga ilizwi eyayilithunyelwe nguJeftha.
Hianagi Amoni kini ne'mo'a Jepta'ma huzmantege'zama vaza vahe'mokizmi nanekea ontahi'ne.
29 Lapho-ke uMoya kaThixo wehlela kuJeftha. Wadabula eGiliyadi kanye lakoManase, wedlula eMizipha yaseGiliyadi, kuthe esuka lapho waqhubekela kuma-Amoni.
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.
30 Njalo uJeftha wafunga isifungo kuThixo wathi, “Unganikela ama-Amoni ezandleni zami,
Hagi Jepta'a Ra Anumzamofona amanage huno huvempa hunte'ne, Amoni vahe'ma kagrama nazampima zamavarente'nanke'na zamahe hnama hute'na,
31 loba kuyini okuphuma emnyango wendlu yami ukuba kungihlangabeze lapho ngibuya nginqobile ngivela kuma-Amoni kuzakuba ngokukaThixo, njalo ngizakunikela njengomnikelo wokutshiswa.”
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.
32 UJeftha waya ngaphetsheya ukuyakulwa lama-Amoni, njalo uThixo wawanikela ezandleni zakhe.
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.
33 Watshabalalisa imizi engamatshumi amabili kusukela e-Aroweri kusiya eduze leMinithi, kusiyafika e-Abheli-Kheramimi. U-Israyeli wayinqoba kanjalo i-Amoni.
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.
34 UJeftha esebuyele emzini wakhe eMizipha, ngubani owaphuma wamhlangabeza ngaphandle kwendodakazi yakhe, igida kukhala amagedla! Yayiyiyo yodwa umntanakhe. Ngaphandle kwakhe wayengelandodana loba indodakazi.
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.
35 Kwathi eyibona wadabula izigqoko zakhe wakhala esithi, “Oh! Ndodakazi yami! Usungidabule wangenza ngaba lusizi, ngoba ngifunge isifungo kuThixo engingeke ngisephule.”
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.
36 Yona yaphendula yathi, “Baba, wethule ilizwi lakho kuThixo. Kimi yenza njengoba uthembisile, njengoba uThixo esephindisele ezitheni zakho, ama-Amoni.”
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.
37 Wasesithi, “Kodwa ngicela ungivumele kulokhu okukodwa nje. Nginika izinyanga ezimbili ukuba ngizulazule ezintabeni ngilile labangane bami, ngoba angiyikwenda.”
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.
38 Yena wathi, “Ungahamba.” Wayivumela ukuba ihambe okwezinyanga ezimbili. Yona lamantombazana lawo baya ezintabeni balila ngoba yayingasoze yende.
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.
39 Emva kwezinyanga ezimbili yabuyela kuyise wasesenza lokho ayekufungile ngayo. Yayiyintombi egcweleyo. Kulokhu yikho okuvela khona umkhuba wama-Israyeli
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,

kafune kafunena ana knama ege'za Israeli mofa'nemo'za agonarega mareri'za 4'a zagegnafi Giliati ne' Jepta mofakura zavira ometetere nehaze.
