Abbootii Murtii 11
1 Yiftaan namichi gosa Giliʼaad sun goota ture. Abbaan isaa Giliʼaad jedhama; haati isaa immoo sagaagaltuu turte.
Now Jephthah the Gileadite was a mighty man of valor, and he was the son of a harlot, and Gilead begot Jephthah.
2 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.
And Gilead's wife bore sons to him. And when his wife's sons grew up, they drove out Jephthah, and said to him, Thou shall not inherit in our father's house, for thou are the son of another woman.
3 Kanaafuu Yiftaan obboloota isaa duraa baqatee biyya Xoob jedhamu keessa jiraate; gareen kashlabbootaa naannoo isaatti walitti qabamanii isa duukaa buʼan.
Then Jephthah fled from his brothers, and dwelt in the land of Tob. And vain fellows were gathered to Jephthah, and they went out with him.
4 Yeroo xinnoo booddee, yommuu Amoononni saba Israaʼelitti waraana kaasanitti,
And it came to pass after a while, that the sons of Ammon made war against Israel.
5 maanguddoonni Giliʼaad Yiftaa barbaacha gara Xoob deeman.
And it was so, that, when the sons of Ammon made war against Israel, the elders of Gilead went to fetch Jephthah out of the land of Tob.
6 Isaanis, “Akka nu Amoonota waraanuu dandeenyuuf kottuu ajajaa nuu taʼi” jedhaniin.
And they said to Jephthah, Come and be our chief, that we may fight with the sons of Ammon.
7 Yiftaanis, “Isin na jibbitanii mana abbaa kootii na hin ariinee? Amma yommuu rakkattan maaliif na bira dhuftu?” isaaniin jedhe.
And Jephthah said to the elders of Gilead, Did ye not hate me, and drive me out of my father's house? And why have ye come to me now when ye are in distress?
8 Maanguddoonni Giliʼaadis, “Nu sababii kanaaf gara kee dhufneerra; Amoonota waraanuudhaaf nu faana kottu; nu warra Giliʼaad keessa jiraannu hunda irrattis hoogganaa ni taataa” jedhaniin.
And the elders of Gilead said to Jephthah, For that reason we turned again to thee now, that thou may go with us, and fight with the sons of Ammon. And thou shall be our head over all the inhabitants of Gilead.
9 Yiftaanis, “Yoo isin akka ani Amoonota waraanuuf biyya kootti na deebiftanii Waaqayyos dabarsee harka kootti isaan kenne, dhugumaan ani hoogganaa keessan nan taʼaa?” jedheen.
And Jephthah said to the elders of Gilead, If ye bring me home again to fight with the sons of Ammon, and Jehovah delivers them before me, shall I be your head?
10 Maanguddoonni Giliʼaadis deebisanii, “Waaqayyo dhuga baʼaa keenya; dhugumaan nu akkuma ati jette goona” jedhaniin.
And the elders of Gilead said to Jephthah, Jehovah shall be witness between us. Surely according to thy word so will we do.
11 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.
Then Jephthah went with the elders of Gilead, and the people made him head and chief over them. And Jephthah spoke all his words before Jehovah in Mizpah.
12 Yiftaan gara mootii Amoonotaatti ergamoota ergee, “Ati kan biyya keenya waraantuuf rakkina maalii nurraa qabda?” jedheen.
And Jephthah sent messengers to the king of the sons of Ammon, saying, What have thou to do with me, that thou have come to me to fight against my land?
13 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.
And the king of the sons of Ammon answered to the messengers of Jephthah, Because Israel took away my land when he came up out of Egypt, from the Arnon even to the Jabbok, and to the Jordan. Now therefore restore those lands again peaceably.
14 Yiftaanis gara mootii Amoonotaatti deebisee ergamoota isaa erge;
And Jephthah sent messengers again to the king of the sons of Ammon.
15 akkanas jedhe: “Yiftaan akkana jedha: Israaʼel biyya Moʼaab yookaan biyya Amoonota hin fudhanne.
And he said to him, Thus says Jephthah: Israel did not take away the land of Moab, nor the land of the sons of Ammon,
16 Garuu yeroo Gibxii baʼanitti Israaʼeloonni gammoojjii keessa gara Galaana Diimaa, achii immoo gara Qaadesh dhufan.
but when they came up from Egypt, and Israel went through the wilderness to the Red Sea, and came to Kadesh,
17 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.
then Israel sent messengers to the king of Edom, saying, Let me, I pray thee, pass through thy land, but the king of Edom did not hearken. And in like manner he sent to the king of Moab, but he would not. And Israel abode in Kadesh.
18 “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.
Then they went through the wilderness, and went around the land of Edom, and the land of Moab, and came by the east side of the land of Moab. And they encamped on the other side of the Arnon, but they did not come within the border of Moab, for the Arnon was the border of Moab.
19 “Ergasiis Israaʼel Sihoon mooticha Amoorotaa kan Heshboon bulchaa ture sanatti ergamoota ergee, ‘Akka nu biyya kee keessa gara biyya keenyaatti dabarru nuu eeyyami’ jedheen.
And Israel sent messengers to Sihon king of the Amorites, the king of Heshbon. And Israel said to him, Let us pass, we pray thee, through thy land to my place.
20 Sihoon garuu akka inni karaa biyya isaatiin darbu Israaʼelin hin amanne. Kanaafuu inni namoota isaa walitti qabatee Yaahizaa keessa qubatee Israaʼelin lole.
But Sihon did not trust Israel to pass through his border, but Sihon gathered all his people together, and encamped in Jahaz, and fought against Israel.
21 “Waaqayyo Waaqni Israaʼelis Sihoonii fi namoota isaa hunda dabarsee harka Israaʼelitti kenne; Israaʼeloonnis jara moʼatan; kanaafuu Israaʼeloonni biyya Amoorota achi jiraatan hundaa fudhatan;
And Jehovah, the God of Israel, delivered Sihon and all his people into the hand of Israel, and they smote them. So Israel possessed all the land of the Amorites, the inhabitants of that country.
22 qabeenya biyya Amoor kan Arnoonii hamma Yaaboqitti akkasumas kan gammoojjii hamma Yordaanositti jiru hunda fudhatan.
And they possessed all the border of the Amorites, from the Arnon even to the Jabbok, and from the wilderness even to the Jordan.
23 “Yoos erga Waaqayyo Waaqni Israaʼel fuula saba Israaʼel duraa Amoorota ariʼee baasee ati fudhachuudhaaf mirga maalii qabdaa?
So now Jehovah, the God of Israel, has dispossessed the Amorites from before his people Israel, and should thou possess them?
24 Ati waan Kemoosh Waaqni kee siif kennu hin fudhattuu? Nus akkasuma waan Waaqayyo Waaqni keenya nuu kenne kam iyyuu ni fudhanna.
Will thou not possess that which Chemosh thy god gives thee to possess? So whomever Jehovah our God has dispossessed from before us, them will we possess.
25 Ati Baalaaq mootii Moʼaab ilma Ziphoori sana ni caaltaa? Inni takkumaa Israaʼel waraaneeraa? Yookaan loleeraa?
And now are thou anything better than Balak the son of Zippor, king of Moab? Did he ever strive against Israel, or did he ever fight against them?
26 Israaʼeloonni waggaa dhibba sadii Heshboon, Aroʼeer, qubatawwan naannoo sanaatii fi magaalaawwan naannoo Arnoon qabatanii turaniiru. Ati yeroo sanatti maaliif deebiftee hin fudhatin?
While Israel dwelt in Heshbon and its towns, and in Aroer and its towns, and in all the cities that are along by the side of the Arnon, three hundred years, why did ye not recover them within that time?
27 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.”
I therefore have not sinned against thee, but thou do me wrong to war against me. Jehovah, the Judge, be judge this day between the sons of Israel and the sons of Ammon.
28 Mootiin Amoonotaa garuu ergaa Yiftaan isatti ergeef gurra hin kennine.
However the king of the sons of Ammon did not hearken to the words of Jephthah which he sent him.
29 Kana irratti Hafuurri Waaqayyoo Yiftaa irra buʼe. Innis Giliʼaadii fi Minaasee keessa darbee Miisphaa ishee Giliʼaad keessa jirtu sana keessa qaxxaamuree Amoonotatti duule.
Then the Spirit of Jehovah came upon Jephthah, and he passed over Gilead and Manasseh, and passed over Mizpeh of Gilead, and from Mizpeh of Gilead he passed over to the sons of Ammon.
30 Yiftaan akkana jedhee Waaqayyoof wareege; “Yoo ati Amoonota dabarsitee harka kootti kennite,
And Jephthah vowed a vow to Jehovah, and said, If thou will indeed deliver the sons of Ammon into my hand,
31 yommuu ani moʼadhee deebiʼutti wanni mana kootii na simachuudhaaf jalqabatti baʼuu kam iyyuu kan Waaqayyoo ti; anis qalma gubamu godhee isa nan dhiʼeessa.”
then it shall be, that whatever comes forth from the doors of my house to meet me, when I return in peace from the sons of Ammon, it shall be Jehovah's, and I will offer it up for a burnt offering.
32 Ergasiis Yiftaan Amoonota waraanuuf baʼe; Waaqayyos isaan dabarsee harka isaatti kenne.
So Jephthah passed over to the sons of Ammon to fight against them, and Jehovah delivered them into his hand.
33 Innis Aroʼeerii jalqabee magaalaawwan digdama hamma naannoo Miiniititti akkasumas hamma Abeel Keraamiimitti argaman guutumaan guutuutti barbadeesse. Amoononnis akkasiin Israaʼelootaaf bulan.
And he smote them from Aroer until thou come to Minnith, even twenty cities, and to Abelcheramim, with a very great slaughter. So the sons of Ammon were subdued before the sons of Israel.
34 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.
And Jephthah came to Mizpah to his house, and, behold, his daughter came out to meet him with timbrels and with dances. And she was his only child. Besides her he had neither son nor daughter.
35 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.
And it came to pass, when he saw her, that he tore his clothes, and said, Alas, my daughter! Thou have brought me very low, and thou are one of those who trouble me, for I have opened my mouth to Jehovah, and I cannot go back.
36 Isheenis akkana jette; “Yaa abbaa ko, ati Waaqayyoof kakatteerta; sababii Waaqayyo diinota kee Amoonota haaloo siif baʼeef, ati waan waadaa galte sana anaan guutadhu.
And she said to him, My father, thou have opened thy mouth to Jehovah. Do to me according to that which has proceeded out of thy mouth, inasmuch as Jehovah has taken vengeance for thee on thine enemies, even on the sons of Ammon.
37 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.”
And she said to her father, Let this thing be done for me: Let me alone two months, that I may depart and go down upon the mountains, and bewail my virginity, I and my companions.
38 Innis, “Dhaquu dandeessa” jedheen. Akka isheen jiʼa lamaaf deemtus eeyyameef. Isheenis waan siʼachi heerumuu hin dandeenyeef dubarran michoota ishee wajjin gaarranitti ol baatee boosse.
And he said, Go. And he sent her away for two months. And she departed, she and her companions, and bewailed her virginity upon the mountains.
39 Jiʼa lamaa booddees gara abbaa isheetti deebite; innis akkuma wareege sana godhe. Isheen durba turte. Yeroo sanaa jalqabee wanni kun Israaʼeloota biratti bartee taʼee
And it came to pass at the end of two months, that she returned to her father, who did with her according to his vow which he had vowed, and she knew no man. And it was a custom in Israel,
40 durboonni Israaʼel wagguma waggaan baʼanii guyyaa afur intala Yiftaa namicha Giliʼaad sanaa gaddaan yaadatu.
that the daughters of Israel went yearly to celebrate the daughter of Jephthah the Gileadite four days in a year.
