< Abahluleli 11 >

1 Njalo uJefitha umGileyadi wayeliqhawe elilamandla, wayeyindodana yewule; uGileyadi wasezala uJefitha.
Yiftaan namichi gosa Giliʼaad sun goota ture. Abbaan isaa Giliʼaad jedhama; haati isaa immoo sagaagaltuu turte.
2 UmkaGileyadi wasemzalela amadodana; kwathi amadodana omkakhe esekhulile amxotsha uJefitha, athi kuye: Kawuyikudla ilifa endlini kababa, ngoba uyindodana yomunye umfazi.
Niitiin Giliʼaadis Giliʼaadiif ilmaan deesse; isaanis yommuu guddatanitti Yiftaadhaan, “Ati waan dubartii biraa irraa dhalatteef dhaala tokko illee maatii keenya irraa hin argattu” jedhanii isa ariʼan.
3 UJefitha wasebalekela abafowabo, wahlala elizweni leTobi. Amadoda ayize asebuthana kuJefitha, aphuma laye.
Kanaafuu Yiftaan obboloota isaa duraa baqatee biyya Xoob jedhamu keessa jiraate; gareen kashlabbootaa naannoo isaatti walitti qabamanii isa duukaa buʼan.
4 Kwasekusithi emva kwezinsuku abantwana bakoAmoni balwa loIsrayeli.
Yeroo xinnoo booddee, yommuu Amoononni saba Israaʼelitti waraana kaasanitti,
5 Kwasekusithi lapho abantwana bakoAmoni besilwa loIsrayeli, abadala beGileyadi bahamba ukuyathatha uJefitha elizweni leTobi,
maanguddoonni Giliʼaad Yiftaa barbaacha gara Xoob deeman.
6 bathi kuJefitha: Woza ube ngumkhokheli wethu ukuze silwe labantwana bakoAmoni.
Isaanis, “Akka nu Amoonota waraanuu dandeenyuuf kottuu ajajaa nuu taʼi” jedhaniin.
7 Kodwa uJefitha wathi kubadala beGileyadi: Lina kalingizondanga yini, langixotsha endlini kababa? Pho, lizelani kimi khathesi nxa selisenhluphekweni?
Yiftaanis, “Isin na jibbitanii mana abbaa kootii na hin ariinee? Amma yommuu rakkattan maaliif na bira dhuftu?” isaaniin jedhe.
8 Abadala beGileyadi basebesithi kuJefitha: Ngakho khathesi siyabuyela kuwe ukuze uhambe lathi uyekulwa umelene labantwana bakoAmoni, ube yinhloko yethu phezu kwabo bonke abakhi beGileyadi.
Maanguddoonni Giliʼaadis, “Nu sababii kanaaf gara kee dhufneerra; Amoonota waraanuudhaaf nu faana kottu; nu warra Giliʼaad keessa jiraannu hunda irrattis hoogganaa ni taataa” jedhaniin.
9 UJefitha wasesithi kubadala beGileyadi: Uba lingibuyisa ukulwa ngimelene labantwana bakoAmoni, iNkosi ibanikele phambi kwami, mina ngizakuba yinhloko yenu yini?
Yiftaanis, “Yoo isin akka ani Amoonota waraanuuf biyya kootti na deebiftanii Waaqayyos dabarsee harka kootti isaan kenne, dhugumaan ani hoogganaa keessan nan taʼaa?” jedheen.
10 Abadala beGileyadi basebesithi kuJefitha: INkosi iyezwa phakathi kwethu, uba singenzi njalo njengokwamazwi akho.
Maanguddoonni Giliʼaadis deebisanii, “Waaqayyo dhuga baʼaa keenya; dhugumaan nu akkuma ati jette goona” jedhaniin.
11 UJefitha wasehamba labadala beGileyadi, abantu basebemenza waba yinhloko lomkhokheli phezu kwabo. UJefitha wasekhuluma wonke amazwi akhe phambi kweNkosi eMizipa.
Kanaafuu Yiftaan maanguddoota Giliʼaad wajjin qajeele; sabni Giliʼaadis hoogganaa fi abbaa duulaa isa godhate. Innis iddoo Miisphaa jedhamutti waan duraan dubbate hundumaa irra deebiʼee fuula Waaqayyoo duratti dubbate.
12 UJefitha wasethuma izithunywa enkosini yabantwana bakoAmoni esithi: Ngilani lawe ukuthi uze kimi ukulwa elizweni lami?
Yiftaan gara mootii Amoonotaatti ergamoota ergee, “Ati kan biyya keenya waraantuuf rakkina maalii nurraa qabda?” jedheen.
13 Inkosi yabantwana bakoAmoni yasisithi kuzithunywa zikaJefitha: Ngoba uIsrayeli wathatha ilizwe lami ekwenyukeni kwakhe eGibhithe kusukela eArinoni kuze kube seJaboki kuze kube seJordani; ngakho-ke libuyiseni ngokuthula.
Mootiin Amoonotaas ergamoota Yiftaatiin, “Sababii Israaʼeloonni yeroo Gibxii baʼanitti biyya koo kan Arnoonii fi Yaaboq gidduu jiruu fi biyya koo kan hamma Yordaanositti jiru fudhataniif ani waan kana godheera; kanaafuu amma karaa nagaan naa deebisaa” jedhe.
14 UJefitha wasephinda ethuma izithunywa futhi enkosini yabantwana bakoAmoni,
Yiftaanis gara mootii Amoonotaatti deebisee ergamoota isaa erge;
15 wathi kuye: Utsho njalo uJefitha: UIsrayeli kalithathanga ilizwe lakoMowabi lelizwe labantwana bakoAmoni,
akkanas jedhe: “Yiftaan akkana jedha: Israaʼel biyya Moʼaab yookaan biyya Amoonota hin fudhanne.
16 kodwa ekwenyukeni kwabo besuka eGibhithe uIsrayeli wahamba edabula enkangala waya eLwandle oluBomvu, wafika eKadeshi.
Garuu yeroo Gibxii baʼanitti Israaʼeloonni gammoojjii keessa gara Galaana Diimaa, achii immoo gara Qaadesh dhufan.
17 UIsrayeli wasethuma izithunywa enkosini yeEdoma esithi: Ake sedlule sidabule elizweni lakho; kodwa inkosi yeEdoma kayilalelanga. Wathumela njalo enkosini yakoMowabi, kodwa kayivumanga. Ngakho uIsrayeli wahlala eKadeshi.
Israaʼelis gara mootii Edoomitti, ‘Akka ani biyya kee keessaan darbu naa eeyyami’ jedhee ergamoota erge; mootiin Edoom garuu hin dhageenye. Gara mootii Moʼaabittis akkasuma ergan; inni illee ni dide. Kanaafuu Israaʼel Qaadesh keessa ture.
18 Basebedabula enkangala, balibhoda ilizwe leEdoma lelizwe lakoMowabi, bafika lapho eliphuma khona ilanga kwelizwe lakoMowabi. Bamisa inkamba ngaphetsheya kweArinoni, kodwa kabangenanga emngceleni wakoMowabi, ngoba iArinoni yayingumngcele wakoMowabi.
“Itti aansees gammoojjii keessa darbee biyya Edoomii fi biyya Moʼaab irra naannaʼee karaa baʼa biyya Moʼaabiin darbee gama kaaniin Arnoon cina qubate. Garuu sababii Arnoon daarii Moʼaab turteef isaan biyya Moʼaab hin seenne ture.
19 UIsrayeli wasethuma izithunywa kuSihoni inkosi yamaAmori, inkosi yeHeshiboni; uIsrayeli wathi kuye: Ake sedlule elizweni lakho siye endaweni yami.
“Ergasiis Israaʼel Sihoon mooticha Amoorotaa kan Heshboon bulchaa ture sanatti ergamoota ergee, ‘Akka nu biyya kee keessa gara biyya keenyaatti dabarru nuu eeyyami’ jedheen.
20 Kodwa uSihoni kamthembanga uIsrayeli ukuthi adlule emngceleni wakhe; kodwa uSihoni wabutha bonke abantu bakhe, wamisa inkamba eJahazi, walwa loIsrayeli.
Sihoon garuu akka inni karaa biyya isaatiin darbu Israaʼelin hin amanne. Kanaafuu inni namoota isaa walitti qabatee Yaahizaa keessa qubatee Israaʼelin lole.
21 Kodwa iNkosi, uNkulunkulu kaIsrayeli, yanikela uSihoni labo bonke abantu bakhe esandleni sikaIsrayeli, babatshaya. Ngakho uIsrayeli wadla ilifa lelizwe lonke lamaAmori, abahlali balelolizwe.
“Waaqayyo Waaqni Israaʼelis Sihoonii fi namoota isaa hunda dabarsee harka Israaʼelitti kenne; Israaʼeloonnis jara moʼatan; kanaafuu Israaʼeloonni biyya Amoorota achi jiraatan hundaa fudhatan;
22 Badla ilifa layo yonke imingcele yamaAmori kusukela eArinoni kuze kube seJaboki, njalo kusukela enkangala kuze kube seJordani.
qabeenya biyya Amoor kan Arnoonii hamma Yaaboqitti akkasumas kan gammoojjii hamma Yordaanositti jiru hunda fudhatan.
23 Khathesi-ke iNkosi, uNkulunkulu kaIsrayeli, yawaxotsha elifeni amaAmori phambi kwabantu bayo uIsrayeli; kanti wena uzakudla ilifa lalo yini?
“Yoos erga Waaqayyo Waaqni Israaʼel fuula saba Israaʼel duraa Amoorota ariʼee baasee ati fudhachuudhaaf mirga maalii qabdaa?
24 Kawuyikudla yini ilifa lalokhu uKemoshi unkulunkulu wakho akunika ukudla ilifa lakho? Ngakho loba ngubani iNkosi uNkulunkulu wethu ezamxotsha elifeni phambi kwethu, lokhu sizakudla ilifa lakho.
Ati waan Kemoosh Waaqni kee siif kennu hin fudhattuu? Nus akkasuma waan Waaqayyo Waaqni keenya nuu kenne kam iyyuu ni fudhanna.
25 Pho-ke wena ungcono yini okwedlula uBalaki indodana kaZipori inkosi yakoMowabi? Wake waxabana loIsrayeli; kumbe wake walwa labo yini;
Ati Baalaaq mootii Moʼaab ilma Ziphoori sana ni caaltaa? Inni takkumaa Israaʼel waraaneeraa? Yookaan loleeraa?
26 lapho uIsrayeli esehlala eHeshiboni lemizaneni yayo, leAroweri lemizaneni yayo, lakuyo yonke imizi esekhunjini lweArinoni, iminyaka engamakhulu amathathu? Kungani-ke ungayophulanga ngalesosikhathi?
Israaʼeloonni waggaa dhibba sadii Heshboon, Aroʼeer, qubatawwan naannoo sanaatii fi magaalaawwan naannoo Arnoon qabatanii turaniiru. Ati yeroo sanatti maaliif deebiftee hin fudhatin?
27 Ngakho mina kangonanga kuwe, kodwa wena wenza okubi kimi ngokulwa lami; iNkosi uMahluleli kahlulele lamuhla phakathi kwabantwana bakoIsrayeli labantwana bakoAmoni.
Ani yakka sitti hin hojjenne; ati garuu waraana natti kaasuudhaan na miiteerta. Kanas Waaqayyo, abbaan murtii ammuma kana kaʼee Israaʼelootaa fi Amoonota gidduutti murtii haa kennu.”
28 Kodwa inkosi yabantwana bakoAmoni kayilalelanga amazwi kaJefitha awathumela kuyo.
Mootiin Amoonotaa garuu ergaa Yiftaan isatti ergeef gurra hin kennine.
29 UMoya weNkosi wasesiza phezu kukaJefitha, wedlula eGileyadi leManase, wedlula eMizipa yeGileyadi; esuka eMizipa wedlulela kubantwana bakoAmoni.
Kana irratti Hafuurri Waaqayyoo Yiftaa irra buʼe. Innis Giliʼaadii fi Minaasee keessa darbee Miisphaa ishee Giliʼaad keessa jirtu sana keessa qaxxaamuree Amoonotatti duule.
30 UJefitha wafunga isifungo eNkosini wathi: Uba uzanikela lokunikela abantwana bakoAmoni esandleni sami,
Yiftaan akkana jedhee Waaqayyoof wareege; “Yoo ati Amoonota dabarsitee harka kootti kennite,
31 kuzakuthi loba yikuphi okuphuma eminyango yendlu yami ukungihlangabeza ekubuyeni kwami ngokuthula ngivela kubantwana bakoAmoni, kuzakuba ngokweNkosi, ngizakunikela kube ngumnikelo wokutshiswa.
yommuu ani moʼadhee deebiʼutti wanni mana kootii na simachuudhaaf jalqabatti baʼuu kam iyyuu kan Waaqayyoo ti; anis qalma gubamu godhee isa nan dhiʼeessa.”
32 Ngakho uJefitha wasesedlulela ebantwaneni bakoAmoni ukulwa emelene labo; iNkosi yasibanikela esandleni sakhe.
Ergasiis Yiftaan Amoonota waraanuuf baʼe; Waaqayyos isaan dabarsee harka isaatti kenne.
33 Wasebatshaya kusukela eAroweri uze ufike eMinithi, imizi engamatshumi amabili, kuze kube seAbeli-Keramimi, ukutshaya okukhulukazi. Ngokunjalo abantwana bakoAmoni behliselwa phansi phambi kwabantwana bakoIsrayeli.
Innis Aroʼeerii jalqabee magaalaawwan digdama hamma naannoo Miiniititti akkasumas hamma Abeel Keraamiimitti argaman guutumaan guutuutti barbadeesse. Amoononnis akkasiin Israaʼelootaaf bulan.
34 UJefitha wasefika eMizipa endlini yakhe. Khangela-ke, indodakazi yakhe yaphuma ukumhlangabeza, ilezigujana, lemigido; yayiyiyo yodwa eyakhe; ngaphandle kwayo wayengelandodana lendodakazi.
Yeroo Yiftaan gara Miisphaatti mana isaatti deebiʼetti, intalli isaa dibbee rukutaa sirbaa isa simachuuf baate! Isheen intala tokkittii inni qabu turte. Inni ishee malee ilmas taʼu intala biraa hin qabu ture.
35 Kwasekusithi lapho eyibona wadabula izigqoko zakhe wathi: Maye ndodakazi yami! Ungithobisile kakhulu, njalo wena uphakathi kwabangihluphayo, ngoba mina ngivule umlomo wami eNkosini, ngingeke ngibuyele emuva.
Innis yommuu ishee argetti wayyaa isaa tarsaasee, “Wayyoo! Yaa mucattii koo! Na balleessite; dhiphina keessa na galchite; ani wareega cabsuu hin dandeenye Waaqayyoof wareegeeraatii” jedhee booʼe.
36 Yasisithi kuye: Baba, uvulile umlomo wakho eNkosini, yenza kimi njengalokho okuphume emlonyeni wakho, lokhu iNkosi ikuphindisele ezitheni zakho, ebantwaneni bakoAmoni.
Isheenis akkana jette; “Yaa abbaa ko, ati Waaqayyoof kakatteerta; sababii Waaqayyo diinota kee Amoonota haaloo siif baʼeef, ati waan waadaa galte sana anaan guutadhu.
37 Yasisithi kuyise: Akungenzele linto: Ngiyekela inyanga ezimbili, ngiye ngehle ezintabeni, ngililele ubuntombi bami, mina labangane bami.
Garuu waan tokko naa eeyyami; sababii ani siʼachi hin heerumneef akka ani michoota koo wajjin gaarran irra naannaʼee durbummaa kootiif booʼuuf jiʼa lama naa kenni.”
38 Wasesithi: Hamba. Waseyiyekela ihamba inyanga ezimbili. Yasihamba, yona labangane bayo, yalilela ubuntombi bayo ezintabeni.
Innis, “Dhaquu dandeessa” jedheen. Akka isheen jiʼa lamaaf deemtus eeyyameef. Isheenis waan siʼachi heerumuu hin dandeenyeef dubarran michoota ishee wajjin gaarranitti ol baatee boosse.
39 Kwasekusithi ekupheleni kwenyanga ezimbili yabuyela kuyise, owenza kuyo isifungo sakhe asifungayo; yona kayiyazanga indoda. Kwasekusiba ngumkhuba koIsrayeli:
Jiʼa lamaa booddees gara abbaa isheetti deebite; innis akkuma wareege sana godhe. Isheen durba turte. Yeroo sanaa jalqabee wanni kun Israaʼeloota biratti bartee taʼee
40 Iminyaka ngeminyaka amadodakazi akoIsrayeli ayehamba ukuyakhumbula indodakazi kaJefitha umGileyadi insuku ezine ngomnyaka.
durboonni Israaʼel wagguma waggaan baʼanii guyyaa afur intala Yiftaa namicha Giliʼaad sanaa gaddaan yaadatu.
