Xaakinnada 11
1 Haddaba Yeftaah oo reer Gilecaad ahaa wuxuu ahaa nin xoog leh, oo wuxuuna ahaa dhillo wiilkeed. Yeftaahna waxaa dhalay Gilecaad.
At that time, there was a Gileadite, Jephthah, a very strong man and a fighter, the son of a kept woman, and he was born of Gilead.
2 Oo Gilecaad naagtiisiina wiilal bay u dhashay, oo wiilashii naagtiisuna markay koreen ayay Yeftaah iska eryeen, oo waxay ku yidhaahdeen, Reerka aabbeheen adigu nala dhaxli maysid; maxaa yeelay, naag kalaa ku dhashay.
Now Gilead had a wife, from whom he received sons. And they, after growing up, cast out Jephthah, saying, “You cannot inherit in the house of our father, because you were born of another mother.”
3 Markaasuu Yeftaah walaalihiis ka cararay, oo wuxuu degay dalkii Toob: markaasaa waxaa isku soo ururay ciyaalasuuq, oo iyana waxay raaceen Yeftaah.
And so, fleeing and avoiding them, he lived in the land of Tob. And men who were indigent and robbers joined with him, and they followed him as their leader.
4 Oo intii wakhti ah dabadeed ayay reer Cammoon la dirireen reer binu Israa'iil.
In those days, the sons of Ammon fought against Israel.
5 Oo markii reer Cammoon ay la dirireen reer binu Israa'iil ayaa odayaashii reer Gilecaad Yeftaah ka dooneen dalkii Toob;
And being steadfastly attacked, the elders of Gilead traveled so that they might obtain for their assistance Jephthah, from the land of Tob.
6 oo waxay Yeftaah ku yidhaahdeen, Kaalay oo madax noo noqo, aynu reer Cammoon la dirirnee.
And they said to him, “Come and be our leader, and fight against the sons of Ammon.”
7 Markaasuu Yeftaah odayaashii reer Gilecaad ku yidhi, War sow ima aydnaan nebcayn oo igama aydnaan eryin reerkii aabbahay? Maxaad haatan iigu timaadeen idinkoo cidhiidhi ku jira?
But he answered them: “Are you not the ones who hated me, and who cast me out of my father’s house? And yet now you come to me, compelled by necessity?”
8 Oo odayaashii reer Gilecaadna waxay ku yidhaahdeen Yeftaah, War haatan waannu kuu soo noqonnay si aad noo raacdid oo aad ula dirirtid reer Cammoon, oo madax ayaad noo noqonaysaa oo waxaad ugu sarraynaysaa dadka deggan dalka Gilecaad oo dhan.
And the leaders of Gilead said to Jephthah, “But it is due to this necessity that we have approached you now, so that you may set out with us, and fight against the sons of Ammon, and be commander over all who live in Gilead.”
9 Markaasuu Yeftaah ku yidhi odayaashii reer Gilecaad, Haddaad mar kale dalkii iigu celisaan inaan reer Cammoon la diriro, oo Rabbigu iyaga gacanta ii soo geliyo, de markaas madax ma idiin noqonayaa?
Jephthah also said to them: “If you have come to me so that I may fight for you against the sons of Ammon, and if the Lord will deliver them into my hands, will I truly be your leader?”
10 Oo odayaashii reer Gilecaadna waxay Yeftaah ku yidhaahdeen, Taas Rabbigu ha ka noqdo marag inoo dhexaya; oo hubaal waxaannu yeelaynaa siduu eraygaagu yahay.
They answered him, “The Lord who hears these things is himself the Mediator and the Witness that we shall do what we have promised.”
11 Markaasuu Yeftaah raacay odayaashii reer Gilecaad oo dadkiina waxay isagii ka dhigteen madax iyo ugaas iyaga ka sarreeya; oo Yeftaah wuxuu hadalkiisii oo dhan Rabbiga ugu sheegay Misfaah.
And so Jephthah went with the leaders of Gilead, and all the people made him their leader. And Jephthah spoke all his words, in the sight of the Lord, at Mizpah.
12 Markaasuu Yeftaah wargeeyayaal u diray boqorkii reer Cammoon, oo wuxuu ku yidhi, War maxaa inaga dhexeeya, oo maxaad iigu timid oo aad dalkayga iigu la diriraysaa?
And he sent messengers to the king of the sons of Ammon, who said on his behalf, “What is there between you and me, that you would approach against me, so that you might lay waste to my land?”
13 Markaasuu boqorkii reer Cammoon ku yidhi wargeeyayaashii Yeftaah ka yimid, Maxaa yeelay, reer binu Israa'iil markii ay ka yimaadeen Masar, waxay iga dhaceen dalkaygii ilaa Arnoon iyo tan iyo xataa Yabboq, iyo ilaa Urdun; haddaba dalalkaas oo dhan nabad iigu soo celi.
And he responded to them, “It is because Israel took my land, when he ascended from Egypt, from the parts of Arnon, as far as the Jabbok and the Jordan. Now therefore, restore these to me with peace.”
14 Oo Yeftaah haddana wargeeyayaal buu u diray boqorkii reer Cammoon;
And Jephthah again commissioned them, and he ordered them to say to the king of Ammon:
15 oo wuxuu ku yidhi, Yeftaah wuxuu leeyahay, Reer binu Israa'iil ma dhicin dalkii reer Moo'aab iyo dalkii reer Cammoon toona:
“Jephthah says this: Israel did not take the land of Moab, nor the land of the sons of Ammon.
16 laakiinse markii ay ka yimaadeen Masar, reer binu Israa'iil waxay soo mareen cidlada ilaa xagga Badda Cas, oo dabadeedna waxay yimaadeen Qaadeesh;
But when they ascended together from Egypt, he walked through the desert as far as the Red Sea, and he went into Kadesh.
17 markaasaa reer binu Israa'iil waxay wargeeyayaal u direen boqorkii reer Edom, oo waxay ku yidhaahdeen, Waannu ku baryaynaaye, aannu dalkaaga dhex marno; laakiinse boqorkii reer Edom ma uu dhegaysan. Sidaas oo kalena waxay cid u direen boqorkii reer Moo'aab; laakiinse isna wuu diiday; oo reer binu Israa'iilna waxay iska joogeen Qaadeesh.
And he sent messengers to the king of Edom, saying, ‘Permit me to pass through your land.’ But he was not willing to agree to his petition. Likewise, he sent to the king of Moab, who also refused to offer him passage. And so he delayed in Kadesh,
18 Markaasay dhex mareen cidladii, oo waxay hareereeyeen dalkii reer Edom, iyo dalkii reer Moo'aab, oo waxay yimaadeen geesta bari oo dalka reer Moo'aab, oo waxay degeen Arnoon geesteeda kale; laakiinse soohdintii reer Moo'aab sooma ay gelin, waayo, Arnoon waxay ahayd soohdintii dalka reer Moo'aab.
and he circled around the side of the land of Edom and the land of Moab. And he arrived opposite the eastern region of the land of Moab. And he made camp across the Arnon. But he was not willing to enter the borders of Moab. (Of course, Arnon is the border of the land of Moab.)
19 Markaasay reer binu Israa'iil wargeeyayaal u direen boqorkii reer Amor oo Siixon ahaa oo boqor u ahaa Xeshboon; oo reer binu Israa'iil waxay ku yidhaahdeen Siixon, Waannu ku baryaynaaye, aannu dalkaaga dhex marno si aannu ugu gudubno meeshayadii.
And so Israel sent messengers to Sihon, the king of the Amorites, who was living at Heshbon. And they said to him, “Permit me to cross through your land as far as the river.”
20 Laakiinse Siixon ma aaminin reer binu Israa'iil inay dhex maraan dalkiisii; laakiinse Siixon wuxuu soo urursaday dadkiisii oo dhan, oo intuu Yahas soo degay ayuu reer binu Israa'iil la diriray.
But he, too, despising the words of Israel, would not permit him to cross through his borders. Instead, gathering an innumerable multitude, he went out against him at Jahaz, and he resisted strongly.
21 Markaasuu Rabbiga ah Ilaaha reer binu Israa'iil Siixon iyo dadkiisii oo dhanba ku riday gacantii reer binu Israa'iil oo iyana way laayeen iyagii; oo sidaasay reer binu Israa'iil ku hantiyeen dalkii reer Amor oo dhan iyo dadkii waddankaasba.
But the Lord delivered him, with his entire army, into the hands of Israel. And he struck him down, and he possessed all the land of the Amorite, the inhabitant of that region,
22 Oo waxay hantiyeen dalkii reer Amor oo dhan tan iyo Arnoon iyo ilaa Yabboq, iyo tan iyo cidlada iyo ilaa Webi Urdun.
with all its parts, from the Arnon as far as the Jabbok, and from the wilderness even to the Jordan.
23 Haddaba haatan inta Rabbiga ah Ilaaha reer binu Israa'iil reer Amor dalka kaga qaaday dadkiisa reer binu Israa'iil hortooda, miyaad adigu qabsanaysaa iyaga?
Therefore, it was the Lord, the God of Israel, who overthrew the Amorites, by means of his people Israel fighting against them. And now you wish to possess his land?
24 Sow lahaan maysid wuxuu ilaahaaga Kemoosh ahu ku siiyo inaad lahaatid? Taas aawadeed kuwa Rabbiga Ilaahayaga ahu hortayada ka eryo waannu qabsan doonnaa.
Are not the things that your god Chemosh possesses owed to you by right? And so, what the Lord our God has obtained by victory falls to us as a possession.
25 Haddaba miyaad ka wanaagsan tahay boqorkii reer Moo'aab oo ahaa Baalaaq ina Sifoor? Miyuu weligiis la diriray reer binu Israa'iil, oo miyuu weligiis la dagaallamay reer binu Israa'iil?
Or are you, perhaps, better than Balak, the son of Zippor, the king of Moab? Or are you able to explain what his argument was against Israel, and why he fought against him?
26 Oo intii reer binu Israa'iil ay degganaayeen Xeshboon iyo magaalooyinkeedii, iyo Carooceer iyo magaalooyinkeedii, iyo magaalooyinkii Arnoon dhinaceeda ku yiil oo dhan, intaasu waxay ahayd saddex boqol oo sannadood ee maxaad wakhtigaas u soo qabsan weydeen?
And though he has lived in Heshbon, and its villages, and in Aroer, and its villages, and in all the cities near the Jordan for three hundred years, why have you, for such long a time, put forward nothing about this claim?
27 Sidaas daraaddeed anigu kuguma aan dembaabin, laakiinse adigu qalad baad igu samaynaysaa inaad ila dirirto. Rabbiga xaakinka ahu maanta ha noqdo xaakin u dhexeeya reer binu Israa'iil iyo reer Cammoon.
Therefore, I am not sinning against you, but you are doing evil against me, by declaring an unjust war against me. May the Lord be the Judge and the Arbiter this day, between Israel and the sons of Ammon.”
28 Habase yeeshee, boqorkii reer Cammoon ma uu dhegaysan erayadii Yeftaah u soo diray.
But the king of the sons of Ammon was not willing to agree to the words of Jephthah that he commissioned by the messengers.
29 Markaasaa Ruuxii Rabbigu wuxuu ku soo degay Yeftaah, oo wuxuu soo dhaafay reer Gilecaad iyo reer Manaseh, oo wuxuu soo dhaafay Misfaah tii reer Gilecaad, oo markaasuu Misfaah tii reer Gilecaadna wuxuu uga sii gudbay xagga reer Cammoon.
Therefore, the Spirit of the Lord rested upon Jephthah, and circling around Gilead, and Manasseh, and also Mizpah of Gilead, and crossing from there to the sons of Ammon,
30 Markaasaa Yeftaah wuxuu Rabbiga u nidray nidar, oo wuxuu yidhi, Hubaal haddaad reer Cammoon gacantayda soo geliso,
he made a vow to the Lord, saying, “If you will deliver the sons of Ammon into my hands,
31 markaasaa wax alla wixii irdaha gurigayga ka soo baxo inuu ila kulmo markaan reer Cammoon nabad kaga soo noqdo, waxaa lahaan doona Rabbiga, oo waxaan u bixin doonaa allabari la gubo.
whoever will be the first to depart from the doors of my house to meet me, when I return in peace from the sons of Ammon, the same will I offer as a holocaust to the Lord.”
32 Markaasuu Yeftaah u gudbay xagga reer Cammoon inuu la dagaallamo, oo Rabbiguna gacantiisuu soo geliyey.
And Jephthah crossed to the sons of Ammon, so that he might fight against them. And the Lord delivered them into his hands.
33 Oo wuxuu iyagii laayay ilaa Carooceer iyo tan iyo ilaa aad Minniid timaadid, oo intaasu waxay ahaayeen labaatan magaalo, oo ilaa Aabeel Keraamiimna wuxuu ku laayay dad badan. Sidaasaa reer Cammoon loogu hoosaysiiyey reer binu Israa'iil hortooda.
And he struck them down from Aroer, as far as the entrance to Minnith, twenty cities, and as far as Abel, which is covered with vineyards, in an exceedingly great slaughter. And the sons of Ammon were humbled by the sons of Israel.
34 Markaasuu Yeftaah yimid Misfaah xagga gurigiisii, oo bal eeg, gabadhiisii baa ka soo baxday inay la kulanto, iyadoo daf tumaysa oo cayaaraysa. Madi bay u ahayd oo iyada mooyaane wiil iyo gabadh midna ma uu lahayn.
But when Jephthah returned to Mizpah, to his own house, his only daughter met him with timbrels and dances. For he had no other children.
35 Oo markuu arkay iyadii ayuu dharkiisii iska jeexjeexay, oo wuxuu yidhi, Hoogay gabadhaydiiyey! Hoos baad ii dhigtay, oo waxaad tahay kuwa i dhiba middood; waayo, Rabbigaan afkayga u furay, oo dibna uma aan noqon karo.
And upon seeing her, he tore his garments, and he said: “Alas, my daughter! You have cheated me, and you yourself have been cheated. For I opened my mouth to the Lord, and I can do nothing else.”
36 Oo waxay ku tidhi, Aabbahayow, Rabbigaad afkaaga u furtay, haddaba igu samee wixii afkaaga ka soo baxay, waayo, Rabbigu waa kaaga aarguday cadaawayaashaadii, kuwaasoo ahaa reer Cammoon.
And she answered him, “My father, if you have opened your mouth to the Lord, do to me whatever you have promised, since victory has been granted to you, as well as vengeance against your enemies.”
37 Oo waxay aabbaheed ku tidhi, Bal waxan ha la ii sameeyo, intii laba bilood ah i daa, oo intaan buuraha tago, aniga iyo saaxiibadahay, aan bikradnimadayda u baroortee.
And she said to her father: “Grant to me this one thing, which I request. Permit me, that I may wander the hillsides for two months, and that I may mourn my virginity with my companions.”
38 Markaasuu yidhi, Tag. Oo intii laba bilood ah ayuu iska diray; oo iyadii iyo saaxiibadaheedba way tageen, oo bikradnimadeedii ayay buuraha ugu soo baroorteen.
And he answered her, “Go.” And he released her for two months. And when she had departed with her friends and companions, she wept over her virginity in the hillsides.
39 Oo labadii bilood dabadeed ayay ku soo noqotay aabbaheed, oo isna wuxuu ku sameeyey sidii uu nidarka ku galay; oo iyana nin ma ay aqoon. Oo reer binu Israa'iilna waxaa caado u ahaa,
And when the two months expired, she returned to her father, and he did to her just as he had vowed, though she knew no man. From this, the custom grew up in Israel, and the practice has been preserved,
40 inay gabdhaha reer binu Israa'iil sannad walba afar maalmood baxaan oo u baroortaan gabadhii Yeftaah kii reer Gilecaad.
such that, after each year passes, the daughters of Israel convene as one, and they lament the daughter of Jephthah, the Gileadite, for four days.
