Dommernes 11
1 Gileaditten Jefta var en veldig krigsmann. Men han var sønn av en skjøge; hans far var Gilead.
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 Med sin hustru hadde Gilead også sønner; og da hustruens sønner blev store, jaget de Jefta bort og sa til ham: Du skal ingen arvelodd ha i vår fars hus, for du er sønn av en fremmed kvinne.
And she bore [the] wife of Gilead to him sons and they grew up [the] sons of the wife and they drove out Jephthah and they said to him not you will have an inheritance in [the] house of father our for [are] [the] son of a woman another you.
3 Da flyktet Jefta for sine brødre og bosatte sig i landet Tob; og der samlet sig en flokk løse menn om Jefta og var med ham på hans tog.
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 Nogen tid efter begynte Ammons barn krig mot Israel.
And it was from days and they fought [the] people of Ammon with Israel.
5 Og da Ammons barn bar våben mot Israel, gikk de eldste i Gilead avsted for å hente Jefta fra landet Tob.
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 Og de sa til Jefta: Kom og bli vår fører, så vil vi stride mot Ammons barn.
And they said to Jephthah come! and you will become of us a commander so let us fight against [the] people of Ammon.
7 Men Jefta sa til de eldste i Gilead: Var det ikke I som hatet mig og jaget mig bort fra min fars hus? Hvorfor kommer I da til mig, nu I er i trengsel?
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 De eldste i Gilead svarte: Derfor er det jo vi nu kommer til dig igjen; du må gå med oss og stride mot Ammons barn, så skal du være høvding over oss, over alle som bor Gilead.
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 Da sa Jefta til de eldste i Gilead: Dersom I nu får mig med eder tilbake for å stride mot Ammons barn, og Herren gir dem i min vold, så er det jeg som skal være eders høvding!
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 Og de eldste i Gilead sa til Jefta: Herren skal være vidne mellem oss. Han straffe oss dersom vi ikke gjør som du sier!
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 Så gikk Jefta med de eldste i Gilead, og folket gjorde ham til sin høvding og fører. Og Jefta gjentok i Mispa alle sine ord for Herrens åsyn.
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 Så sendte Jefta bud til ammonittenes konge og lot si: Hvad vil du mig, siden du kommer til mig og fører krig mot mitt land?
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 Da sa ammonittenes konge til Jeftas sendebud: Fordi Israel, da de drog op fra Egypten, tok mitt land like fra Arnon til Jabbok og til Jordan; gi det nu tilbake med det gode!
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 Men Jefta sendte atter bud til ammonittenes konge
And he repeated again Jephthah and he sent messengers to [the] king of [the] people of Ammon.
15 og lot si til ham: Så sier Jefta: Israel har ikke tatt Moabs land eller ammonittenes land.
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 For da de drog op fra Egypten, vandret Israel i ørkenen til det Røde Hav og kom til Kades.
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 Da sendte Israel bud til Edoms konge og lot si: La mig få dra gjennem ditt land! Men Edoms konge hørte ikke på dem. Også til Moabs konge sendte de bud; men han vilde heller ikke. Så blev Israel i Kades.
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 Siden vandret de i ørkenen og drog utenom Edoms land og Moabs land og kom frem østenfor Moabs land og leiret sig på hin side Arnon; men de kom ikke inn i Moabs land, for Arnon er Moabs grense.
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 Så sendte Israel bud til Sihon, amorittenes konge, kongen i Hesbon, og Israel lot ham si: La oss få dra gjennem ditt land, så vi kan komme dit vi skal!
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 Men Sihon hadde ikke så god tro til Israel at han torde la dem dra gjennem sitt land; han samlet alt sitt folk, og de leiret sig i Jahsa, og han angrep Israel.
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 Og Herren, Israels Gud, gav Sihon og alt hans folk i Israels hånd, og de slo dem; og Israel inntok hele det land som tilhørte amorittene, det folk som bodde der;
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 hele amorittenes land inntok de like fra Arnon til Jabbok og fra ørkenen til Jordan.
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 Så har nu Herren, Israels Gud, drevet amorittene bort for sitt folk Israel; og nu vil du ta dets land i eie?
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 Er det ikke så at hvad din gud Kamos lar dig få, det tar du i eie, og alt hvad Herren vår Gud rydder for oss, det tar vi i eie?
¿ 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 Er da du bedre enn Balak, Sippors sønn, Moabs konge? Trettet vel han med Israel eller førte krig mot dem?
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 Nu har Israel bodd tre hundre år i Hesbon og de byer som hører det til, og i Aroer med tilhørende byer og i alle de byer som ligger ved Arnons bredder; hvorfor har I da ikke tatt dem igjen i all denne tid?
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 Jeg har ikke gjort dig noget ondt, men du gjør nu urett mot mig ved å angripe mig; Herren, han som er dommer, han skal dømme idag mellem Israels barn og Ammons barn.
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 Men ammonittenes konge hørte ikke på de ord som Jeftas sendebud bar frem til ham.
And not he listened [the] king of [the] people of Ammon to [the] words of Jephthah which he sent to him.
29 Da kom Herrens Ånd over Jefta, og han drog gjennem Gilead og Manasse; så drog han frem til Mispa i Gilead; og fra Mispa i Gilead drog han frem mot Ammons barn.
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 Og Jefta gjorde et løfte til Herren og sa: Dersom du gir Ammons barn i min hånd,
And he vowed Jephthah a vow to Yahweh and he said certainly [if] you will give [the] people of Ammon in hand my.
31 da skal den som går ut av døren til mitt hus og møter mig, når jeg kommer uskadd tilbake fra Ammons barn, da skal den høre Herren til; jeg skal ofre ham til brennoffer.
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 Så drog Jefta frem mot Ammons barn og stred mot dem, og Herren gav dem i hans hånd;
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 han slo dem og tok fra dem landet fra Aroer til bortimot Minnit, tyve byer, og like til Abel-Keramim; det blev et svært mannefall, og Ammons barn blev ydmyket under Israels barn.
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 Da Jefta kom hjem til sitt hus i Mispa, da gikk hans datter ut imot ham med trommer og dans; hun var hans eneste barn, foruten henne hadde han hverken sønn eller datter.
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 Med det samme han fikk se henne, sønderrev han sine klær og sa: Akk, min datter, hvilken sorg du volder mig, hvilken ulykke du fører over mig! Jeg har gjort et løfte til Herren, og jeg kan ikke ta det tilbake.
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 Da sa hun til ham: Min far! Har du gjort et løfte til Herren, så gjør med mig som du har lovt, siden Herren lot dig få hevn over dine fiender, Ammons barn!
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 Så sa hun til sin far: Bare én ting vil jeg be dig om: La mig være fri to måneder, så jeg kan gå ned på fjellene og gråte over min jomfrustand sammen med mine venninner.
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 Og han sa: Gjør så! Så lot han henne være fri to måneder; og hun gikk avsted med sine venninner og gråt over sin jomfrustand på fjellene.
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 Og da to måneder var omme, kom hun tilbake til sin far, og han gjorde med henne efter det løfte han hadde gjort; og hun hadde ikke visst av mann. Så blev det en skikk i Israel:
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.
40 År for år går Israels døtre avsted for å prise Jeftas, gileadittens datter fire dager om året.
From days - days towards they go [the] daughters of Israel to recount for [the] daughter of Jephthah the Gileadite four days in the year.
