1 Jephthah, en Gileadit, var en stridsam hjelte, dock likväl enes skökos son; och Gilead hade födt Jephthah.
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 Men då Gileads hustru födde honom barn, och de samma barn vordo stor, drefvo de Jephthah ut, och sade till honom: Du skall intet arf taga i vårs faders huse; ty du äst ens annors qvinnos son.
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 Då flydde han för sina bröder, och bodde i det landet Tob; och till honom församlade sig lösaktige män, och drogo ut med honom.
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 Och någon tid derefter stridde Ammons barn med Israel.
And it was from days and they fought [the] people of Ammon with Israel.
5 Då nu Ammons barn så stridde med Israel, gingo de äldste af Gilead bort, till att hemta Jephthah utu Tobs lande;
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 Och sade till honom: Kom, och var vår höfvitsman, att vi måge strida emot 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 Jephthah sade till de äldsta af Gilead: Ären icke I de som mig haten, och hafven drifvit mig utu mins faders hus, och nu kommen I till mig, medan I ären i bedröfvelse?
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 äldste i Gilead sade till Jephthah: Derföre komme vi nu igen till dig, att du skall gå med oss, och hjelpa oss strida emot Ammons barn; och vara vår höfvitsman öfver alla de som bo i 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 Jephthah sade till de äldsta i Gilead: Om I hemten mig igen till att strida emot Ammons barn, och Herren gifver dem för mig, skall jag då vara edar höfvitsman?
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 De äldste af Gilead sade till Jephthah: Herren vare tillhörare emellan oss, om vi icke göre som du sagt hafver.
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 Alltså gick då Jephthah med de äldsta af Gilead, och folket satte honom för höfvitsman och öfversta öfver sig; och Jephthah talade allt detta inför Herranom i Mizpa.
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 Då sände Jephthah bådskap till Konungen öfver Ammons barn, och lät säga honom: Hvad hafver du med mig att skaffa, att du kommer emot mig, till att strida emot 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 Konungen öfver Ammons barn svarade Jephthas bådskap: Derföre, att Israel hafver tagit bort mitt land, då de drogo utur Egypten, allt ifrån Arnon intill Jabbok, och allt intill Jordan; så få mig nu det igen med frid.
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 Jephthah sände åter bådskap till Ammons barnas Konung;
And he repeated again Jephthah and he sent messengers to [the] king of [the] people of Ammon.
15 Och lät säga honom: Så säger Jephthah: Israel hafver intet land borttagit, antingen ifrå de Moabiter, eller ifrån Ammons barn;
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 Förty när de drogo utur Egypten, vandrade Israel genom öknena allt intill röda hafvet, och kom till 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 Och sände bådskap till de Edomeers Konung, och sade: Låt mig draga igenom ditt land; men de Edomeers Konung tillstadde dem intet. Och sände han båd till Konungen öfver de Moabiter; han ville icke heller tillstädjat. Så blef 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 Och vandrade i öknene, och drog omkring de Edomeers och Moabiters land, och kom östan på de Moabiters land, och lägrade sig på hinsidon Arnon; och kom intet in uti de Moabiters landsändar; ty Arnon är de Moabiters landamäre.
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 Och Israel sände båd till Sihon, de Amoreers Konung, i Hesbon, och sade: Låt oss draga igenom ditt land in till mitt rum.
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 betrodde icke Israel, att han skulle draga igenom hans landsändar; utan församlade allt sitt folk, och lägrade sig i Jahza, och stridde med 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 Men Herren Israels Gud gaf Sihon, med allt hans folk, i Israels händer, så att de slogo dem; alltså tog Israel in allt de Amoreers land, som då i samma land bodde;
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 Och togo alla de Amoreers landsändar in, ifrån Arnon allt intill Jabbok, och ifrån öknene intill 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 hafver nu Herren Israels Gud fördrifvit de Amoreer för sino folke Israel; och du vill nu taga dem in.
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 Hafver din gud Chemos några fördrifvit, dem må du intaga, och låta oss intaga alla dem som Herren vår Gud för oss fördrifvit hafver.
¿ 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 Menar du, att du bättre rätt hafver, än Balak, Zipors son, de Moabiters Konung? Trätte icke han och stridde emot Israel?
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 Så ändock Israel nu i trehundrad år bott hafver i Hesbon och dess döttrar, i Aroer och dess döttrar, och i alla städer, som ligga vid Arnon; hvi friaden I det icke på den tiden?
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 Jag hafver intet brutit emot dig, och du gör så illa emot mig, att du strider emot mig. Herren döme i dag emellan Israel och 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 Ammons barnas Konung skötte intet efter de Jephthahs ord, som han böd honom till.
And not he listened [the] king of [the] people of Ammon to [the] words of Jephthah which he sent to him.
29 Då kom Herrans Ande öfver Jephthah, och han drog igenom Gilead och Manasse, och igenom Mizpe, som i Gilead ligger, och ifrå Mizpe, som i Gilead ligger, inpå 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 Och Jephthah lofvade Herranom ett löfte, och sade: Gifver du Ammons barn i mina hand;
And he vowed Jephthah a vow to Yahweh and he said certainly [if] you will give [the] people of Ammon in hand my.
31 Hvad som helst utu mins hus dörr kommer emot mig, när jag med frid igenkommer ifrån Ammons barn, det skall höra Herranom till; och jag skall offra det till bränneoffer.
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 Jephthah in på Ammons barn till att strida på dem; och Herren gaf dem i hans händer.
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 Och han slog dem, allt ifrån Aroer intilldess man kommer till Minnith, tjugu städer, och intill vingårdaplatsen, en mägtig stor slagtning. Och vordo så Ammons barn nedtryckte för 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 Då nu Jephthah kom till Mizpa till sitt hus, si, då gick hans dotter ut emot honom, med pipande och dansande, och hon var enda barn, och han hade eljest ingen son eller dotter.
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 Och som han fick se henne, ref han sin kläder, och sade: Aj! min dotter, du gör mig en hjertans sorg, och bedröfvar mig; ty jag hafver öppnat min mun inför Herranom, och kan icke kalla det tillbaka.
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 Men hon sade: Min fader, hafver du öppnat din mun inför Herranom, så gör med mig såsom utaf din mun gånget är, efter Herren hafver hämnats på dina fiendar. 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 Och hon sade till sin fader: Allenast beder jag dig om ett, att du unner mig två månader, att jag går neder på bergen, och begråter min jungfrudom med mina leksystrar.
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)*)

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 Och efter två månader kom hon igen till sin fader, och han gjorde henne såsom han lofvat hade; och hon hade intet skaffa haft med någrom man.
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.
