12 Ipapo Jefuta akatuma nhume kuna mambo wavaAmoni nomubvunzo wokuti, “Mhosva yamunayo nesu ndeyeiko zvamunorwisa nyika yedu?”
Ningĩ Jefitha agĩtũmana kũrĩ mũthamaki wa Aamoni na kĩũria gĩkĩ: “Nĩ ũhoro ũrĩkũ ũrĩ naguo na ithuĩ nĩgeetha ũtharĩkĩre bũrũri witũ?”
13 Mambo wavaAmoni akapindura nhume dzaJefuta achiti, “VaIsraeri pavakabuda muIjipiti, vakatora nyika yangu kubva kuArinoni kusvikira kuJabhoki, kwose nokuJorodhani. Zvino idzosei norugare.”
Mũthamaki wa Aamoni agĩcookeria andũ a Jefitha atĩrĩ, “Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa Isiraeli maambatire kuuma Misiri, nĩmooire bũrũri wakwa kuuma Arinoni nginya Jaboku, o na nginya Jorodani. Rĩu njookeriai bũrũri ũcio na thayũ.”
14 Jefuta akatumazve nhume kuna mambo wavaAmoni
Nake Jefitha agĩtũma andũ rĩngĩ kũrĩ mũthamaki wa Aamoni,
15 achiti, “Zvanzi naJefuta: Israeri haina kutora nyika yeMoabhu kana nyika yavaAmoni.
akiuga atĩrĩ: “Ũũ nĩguo Jefitha oiga: Isiraeli ndooire bũrũri wa Moabi kana bũrũri wa Aamoni.
16 Asi pavakabuda muIjipiti, Israeri yakaenda nomurenje kusvikira kuGungwa Dzvuku uye nokumusoro kuKadheshi.
No rĩrĩa maambatire makiuma Misiri, Isiraeli maatuĩkanĩirie werũ-inĩ nginya Iria Itune, magĩkinya Kadeshi.
17 Ipapo Israeri yakatuma nhume kuna mambo weEdhomu, ichiti, ‘Titendereiwo kupfuura nomunyika yenyu,’ asi mambo weEdhomu akaramba kunzwa. Vakatumawo nhume kuna mambo weMoabhu, naiyewo akaramba. Saka vakagara paKadheshi.
Ningĩ Isiraeli agĩtũma andũ kũrĩ mũthamaki wa Edomu, makamwĩre atĩrĩ, ‘Twĩtĩkĩrie tũtuĩkanĩrie bũrũri-inĩ waku,’ no mũthamaki wa Edomu ndaigana gũthikĩrĩria. Ningĩ magĩtũmana kũrĩ mũthamaki wa Moabi, nake akĩrega. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Isiraeli magĩikara kũu Kadeshi.
18 “Shure kwaizvozvo vakafamba nomurenje, vachitenderera nyika dzeEdhomu neMoabhu, vakandodzika musasa kuno rumwe rutivi rweArinoni. Havana kupinda munyika yeMoabhu, nokuti Arinoni waiva muganhu wayo.
“Magĩcooka magĩtuĩkanĩria werũ-inĩ, magĩthiũrũrũka bũrũri wa Edomu na Moabi, makĩgerera mwena wa irathĩro wa bũrũri wa Moabi, na makĩamba hema ciao mũrĩmo ũũrĩa ũngĩ wa Arinoni. Nao matiatoonyire bũrũri wa Moabi, nĩgũkorwo Rũũĩ rwa Arinoni nĩruo rwarĩ mũhaka wakuo.
19 “Ipapo vaIsraeri vakatuma nhume kuna Sihoni mambo wavaAmori, akanga achitonga muHeshibhoni, akati kwaari, ‘Titendereiwo kupfuura nomunyika yenyu tichienda kunzvimbo yedu.’
“Ningĩ Isiraeli agĩtũma andũ kũrĩ Sihoni mũthamaki wa Aamori, ũrĩa waathanaga Heshiboni, makĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, ‘Twĩtĩkĩrie tũhĩtũkĩre bũrũri-inĩ waku tũthiĩ bũrũri witũ.’
20 Kunyange zvakadaro, Sihoni haana kuvimba navaIsraeri kuti vapfuure nomunyika yake. Akaunganidza vanhu vake vose vakandodzika musasa paJahazi uye vakarwa navaIsraeri.
Na rĩrĩ, Sihoni ndaigana kwĩhoka Isiraeli mahĩtũkĩre bũrũri wake. Akĩũngania ita rĩake rĩothe na akĩamba hema kũu Jahazu, na akĩhũũrana na Isiraeli.
21 “Ipapo Jehovha, Mwari waIsraeri, akaisa Sihoni navanhu vake vose mumaoko avaIsraeri, uye vakavakunda. Israeri yakatora nyika yose yavaAmori vaigara munyika iyo,
“Nake Jehova, Ngai wa Isiraeli, akĩneana Sihoni na andũ ake othe moko-inĩ ma Isiraeli, makĩmahoota. Isiraeli makĩĩyoera bũrũri wothe wa Aamori arĩa maatũũraga bũrũri ũcio,
22 vakaitapa yose kubva paArinoni kusvikira kuJabhoki uye kubva kurenje kusvikira kuJorodhani.
magĩtunyana guothe kuuma Arinoni nginya Jaboku, na kuuma werũ-inĩ nginya Jorodani.
23 “Zvino sezvo Jehovha, Mwari waIsraeri akadzinga vaAmori pamberi pavanhu vake Israeri, iwe une kodzero ipi yokuti uitore?
“Na rĩrĩ, kuona atĩ Jehova, Ngai wa Isiraeli nĩwe ũingatĩte Aamori akameheria mbere ya andũ ake Isiraeli-rĩ, wee ũkĩrĩ na kĩhooto kĩrĩkũ gĩa kũwĩgwatĩra?
24 Ko, hautori here zvaunopiwa namwari wako Kemoshi? Naizvozvo zvose zvatinopiwa naJehovha Mwari wedu, ndizvo zvatichatora.
Kaĩ ũtangĩoya kĩrĩa Kemoshu ngai yaku ĩkũheete? Ithuĩ na ithuĩ twĩgwatĩre kĩrĩa gĩothe Jehova Ngai witũ atũheete.
25 Ko, iwe uri nani kupfuura Bharaki mwanakomana waZipori mambo weMoabhu here? Akambopopotedzana navaIsraeri kana kurwa navo here?
Anga wee nĩũkĩrĩte Balaki mũrũ wa Ziporu, mũthamaki wa Moabi? Nĩ kũrĩ hĩndĩ arĩ ahaarana na Isiraeli kana akĩrũa nao?
26 Israeri yakagara muHeshibhoni, Aroeri, nemisha yakapoteredza uye namaguta ose akatarisana neArinoni. Wakaregereiko kuatora panguva iyoyo?
Handũ ha mĩaka magana matatũ Isiraeli matũũrĩte kũu Heshiboni, na Aroeri, na matũũra marĩa mothe magũthiũrũrũkĩirie, na matũũra mothe marĩa marĩ hũgũrũrũ-inĩ cia Arinoni. Nĩ kĩĩ kĩagiririe ũmeyoere rĩngĩ hĩndĩ ĩyo?
27 Ini handina kukutadzira asi iwe ndiwe wava kundikanganisira nokuda kurwa neni. Jehovha, iye mutongi ngaatonge, ngaatonge gakava iri nhasi riri pakati pavaIsraeri navaAmoni.”
Niĩ ndikũhĩtĩirie, no wee nĩũranjĩka ũũru nĩ ũndũ wa kũndehera mbaara. Reke Jehova, ũrĩa mũtuithania, atuithanie ciira ũyũ ũmũthĩ gatagatĩ ka andũ a Isiraeli na Aamoni.”
28 Kunyange zvakadaro, mambo weAmoni, haana kuteerera nhume dzaJefuta dzaakatuma.
O na kũrĩ ũguo, mũthamaki wa Amoni ndaigana kũrũmbũiya ndũmĩrĩri ĩyo aatũmĩirwo nĩ Jefitha.
29 Ipapo Mweya waJehovha wakauya pamusoro paJefuta. Akayambuka Gireadhi neManase, akapfuura napaMizipa yeGireadhi, uye kubva ipapo akafamba akandorwa navaAmoni.
Hĩndĩ ĩyo Roho wa Jehova agĩũka igũrũ rĩa Jefitha. Akĩringa Gileadi na Manase, akĩhĩtũkĩra Mizipa ya Gileadi, na kuuma kũu agĩthiĩ gũkora Aamoni.
30 Uye Jefuta akaita mhiko kuna Jehovha akati, “Kana mukaisa vaAmoni mumaoko angu,
Nake Jefitha akĩĩhĩta mwĩhĩtwa mbere ya Jehova, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Ũngĩneana Aamoni moko-nĩ makwa-rĩ,
31 chose chichabuda napamukova weimba yangu kuzosangana neni pakudzoka kwangu ndakunda vaAmoni, chichava chaJehovha, uye ndichachibayira sechipiriso chinopiswa.”
o kĩrĩa gĩkoima nja na mũrango wa nyũmba yakwa kĩndũnge rĩrĩa ngaacooka hootanĩte kuuma kũrĩ Aamoni, gĩgaatuĩka kĩa Jehova, na nĩngakĩruta gĩtuĩke igongona rĩa njino.”
32 Ipapo Jefuta akabuda kundorwa navaAmoni, uye Jehovha akavapa mumaoko ake.
Nake Jefitha agĩthiĩ kũhũũrana na Aamoni, nake Jehova akĩmaneana moko-inĩ make.
33 Akaparadza maguta makumi maviri kubva kuAroeri kusvikira pedyo neMiniti, akandoguma kuAbheri Keramimi. Nokudaro Israeri yakakunda Amoni.
Agĩthũkangia matũũra mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ kuuma Aroeri nginya gũkuhĩ na Minithu, o nginya Abeli-Karamimu. Ũguo nĩguo Isiraeli maatooririe Aamoni.
34 Jefuta akati odzokera kumusha kwake kuMizipa, ndiani akazouya kuzomuchingamidza kunze kwomwanasikana wake, achitamba, matambureni achiridzwa! Ndiye akanga achingova mwana wake oga. Akanga asina mwanakomana kana mwanasikana kunze kwake iye oga.
Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa Jefitha aacookire gwake mũciĩ kũu Mizipa-rĩ, nũũ wagĩũkire kũmũtũnga tiga mwarĩ, akĩmũinagĩra na akĩhũũraga tũhembe! Nake aarĩ mwana wa mũmwe. Tiga o we wiki, Jefitha ndaarĩ na kahĩĩ kana kairĩtu.
35 Akati achimuona akabvarura nguo dzake uye akachema achiti, “Haiwa mwanasikana wangu! Wandishungurudza nokuti ndaita mhiko kuna Jehovha yandisingagoni kuputsa.”
Rĩrĩa aamuonire-rĩ, agĩtembũranga nguo ciake agĩkaya, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Ũũi! Mwarĩ wakwa! Nĩwandua mũndũ mũthĩĩnĩku na mũnyamarĩku nĩ ũndũ nĩndĩhĩtĩte mwĩhĩtwa harĩ Jehova ũrĩa itangĩaga kũhingia.”
36 Akapindura akati, “Baba vangu, mapa shoko renyu kuna Jehovha. Ndiitirei henyu sezvamakavimbisa, sezvo zvino Jehovha akatsivira vavengi venyu, ivo vaAmoni.
Nake akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Baba, wee nĩweehĩtire mwĩhĩtwa kũrĩ Jehova. Njĩka o ta ũrĩa weranĩire, kuona atĩ Jehova nĩakũrĩhĩria harĩ Aamoni thũ ciaku.”
37 Asi nditenderei henyu chikumbiro chimwe chete ichi. Ndipei henyu mwedzi miviri kuti ndiende kuzvikomo ndinochema pamwe chete neshamwari dzangu, nokuti handichazowanikwi.”
Ningĩ akiuga atĩrĩ, “No nĩngũkũũria ũnjĩtĩkĩrie ũndũ ũyũ ũmwe: Ũũhe mĩeri ĩĩrĩ ngacangacange irĩma-inĩ na ndĩre hamwe na arata akwa, tondũ ndikaahika.”
38 Iye akati, “Ungaenda hako.” Uye akamutendera kuti aende kwemwedzi miviri. Iye navamwe vasikana vakaenda kuzvikomo vakandochema nokuti akanga asingazombowanikwi.
Akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “No ũthiĩ.” Akĩmwĩtĩkĩria athiĩ mĩeri ĩĩrĩ. We marĩ na airĩtu acio angĩ magĩthiĩ irĩma-inĩ, makĩrĩranĩra tondũ ndarĩ hĩndĩ angĩkaahika.
39 Shure kwemwedzi miviri akadzoka kuna baba vake uye vakaita kwaari sezvavakanga vapika. Uye akanga ari mhandara. Ndipo pakabva tsika yavaIsraeri
Thuutha wa mĩeri ĩyo ĩĩrĩ, agĩcooka kũrĩ ithe, nake akĩmwĩka o ta ũrĩa eehĩtĩte. Nake aarĩ mũirĩtu gathirange. Kuumanagia na ũndũ ũcio, ũgĩtuĩka mũtugo wa andũ a Isiraeli,
