Fakamaau 11
1 Pea ko Sefita ko e tangata Kiliati, ko e tangata toʻa lahi, pea ko e tama ia ʻae fefine angahala: pea ko e foha ʻo Kiliati ʻa Sefita.
Fuit illo tempore Iephte Galaadites vir fortissimus atque pugnator, filius mulieris meretricis, qui natus est de Galaad.
2 Pea naʻe fanauʻi ʻe he uaifi ʻo Kiliati ʻae ngaahi tama; pea naʻe tupu hake ʻae ngaahi tama ʻa hono uaifi, pea naʻa nau kapusi ʻa Sefita, ʻonau pehē kiate ia, “ʻE ʻikai te ke hoko koe ki ha meʻa ʻi he fale ʻo ʻetau tamai: he ko e tama koe ʻae fefine kehe.”
Habuit autem Galaad uxorem, de qua suscepit filios: qui postquam creverant, eiecerunt Iephte, dicentes: Heres in domo patris nostri esse non poteris, quia de altera matre natus es.
3 Pea naʻe hola ai ʻa Sefita mei hono ngaahi kāinga, pea nofo ia ʻi he fonua ko Topi: pea naʻe kātoa kia Sefita ʻae kau tangata launoa, ʻonau ʻalu fano mo ia.
Quos ille fugiens atque devitans, habitavit in Terra Tob: congregatique sunt ad eum viri inopes, et latrocinantes, et quasi principem sequebantur.
4 Pea fuoloaange mo ʻene hoko ʻo pehē, naʻe te u tau ʻae fānau ʻa ʻAmoni ki ʻIsileli.
In illis diebus pugnabant filii Ammon contra Israel.
5 Pea ʻi he te u tau ʻae fānau ʻa ʻAmoni ki ʻIsileli, pea pehē, naʻe ʻalu ʻae kau mātuʻa ʻo Kiliati ke ʻomi ʻa Sefita mei he fonua ko Topi:
Quibus acriter instantibus perrexerunt maiores natu de Galaad, ut tollerent in auxilium sui Iephte de Terra Tob:
6 Pea naʻa nau pehē kia Sefita, “Haʻu koe, ʻo hoko ko homau ʻeikitau, koeʻuhi ketau tauʻi ʻae fānau ʻa ʻAmoni.”
dixeruntque ad eum: Veni et esto princeps noster, et pugna contra filios Ammon.
7 Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Sefita ki he kau mātuʻa ʻo Kiliati, “ʻIkai naʻa mou fehiʻa kiate au, pea kapusi au mei he fale ʻo ʻeku tamai? Pea ko e hā kuo mou haʻu ai kiate au ʻi hoʻomou tuʻutāmaki?”
Quibus ille respondit: Nonne vos estis, qui odistis me, et eiecistis de domo patris mei, et nunc venistis ad me necessitate compulsi?
8 Pea pehē ʻe he kau mātuʻa ʻo Kiliati kia Sefita, “Ko ia ʻoku mau toe kumi ni kiate koe, koeʻuhi ke tau ō, pea tauʻi ʻae fānau ʻa ʻAmoni, pea ke hoko ko homau ʻeiki ʻi he kakai kotoa pē ʻo Kiliati.”
Dixeruntque principes Galaad ad Iephte: Ob hanc igitur causam nunc ad te venimus, ut proficiscaris nobiscum, et pugnes contra filios Ammon, sisque dux omnium qui habitant in Galaad.
9 Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Sefita ki he kau mātuʻa ʻo Kiliati, “Kapau ʻoku mou ʻave au ki hoku fonua ke u tauʻi ʻae fānau ʻa ʻAmoni, pea tukuange ʻakinautolu ʻe Sihova ʻi hoku ʻao, te u hoko moʻoni ai ko homou ʻeiki?”
Iephte quoque dixit eis: Si vere venistis ad me, ut pugnem pro vobis contra filios Ammon, tradideritque eos Dominus in manus meas, ego ero vester princeps?
10 Pea pehē ʻe he kau mātuʻa ʻo Kiliati kia Sefita, “Ke ʻafio ʻe Sihova kiate kitaua, ʻo kapau ʻe ʻikai te mau fai ʻo hangē ko hoʻo lea.”
Qui responderunt ei: Dominus, qui hæc audit, ipse Mediator ac Testis est quod nostra promissa faciemus.
11 Pea naʻe toki ʻalu ʻa Sefita mo e kau mātuʻa ʻo Kiliati, pea fakanofo ia ʻe he kakai ko e pule mo e ʻeikitau kiate kinautolu: pea naʻe fai ʻe Sefita ʻene ngaahi lea kotoa pē ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova ʻi Misipa.
Abiit itaque Iephte cum principibus Galaad, fecitque eum omnis populus principem sui. Locutusque est Iephte omnes sermones suos coram Domino in Maspha.
12 Pea naʻe fekau ʻe Sefita ʻae kau talafekau ki he tuʻi ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻAmoni, ʻo pehē, “Ko e hā haʻo kau kiate au koeʻuhi kuo ke haʻu ai ke tauʻi au ʻi hoku fonua?”
Et misit nuncios ad regem filiorum Ammon, qui ex persona sua dicerent: Quid mihi et tibi est, quia venisti contra me, ut vastares terram meam?
13 Pea naʻe lea ʻae tuʻi ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻAmoni ki he kau talafekau ʻa Sefita, ʻo pehē, “Ko e meʻa ʻi he faʻaoa ʻe ʻIsileli hoku fonua, ʻi heʻenau haʻu mei ʻIsipite, mei ʻAlanoni ʻo aʻu ki Sapoki, pea hoko ki Sioatani: ko ia ke ke toe tuku mai fiemālie pē ʻae ngaahi fonua ko ia.”
Quibus ille respondit: Quia tulit Israel terram meam, quando ascendit de Ægypto a finibus Arnon usque Iaboc atque Iordanem: nunc ergo cum pace redde mihi eam.
14 Pea naʻe toe fekau ʻe Sefita ʻae kau talafekau ki he tuʻi ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻAmoni:
Per quos rursum mandavit Iephte, et imperavit eis ut dicerent regi Ammon:
15 Pea ne pehē kiate ia, ʻoku pehē ʻe Sefita, “Naʻe ʻikai faʻaoa ʻe ʻIsileli ʻae fonua ʻo Moape, pe ko e fonua ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻAmoni:
Hæc dicit Iephte: Non tulit Israel Terram Moab, nec Terram filiorum Ammon:
16 Ka ʻi he ʻalu hake ʻa ʻIsileli mei ʻIsipite, pea fononga ʻo ʻasi ʻi he toafa mo e tahi Kulokula, pea hoko ki Ketesi;
sed quando de Ægypto conscenderunt, ambulavit per solitudinem usque ad Mare Rubrum, et venit in Cades.
17 Naʻe fekau ai ʻe ʻIsileli ki he tuʻi ʻo ʻItomi, ʻo pehē, ʻOku ou kole kiate koe, tuku ke u ʻalu ʻi ho fonua: ka naʻe ʻikai tokanga ki ai ʻae tuʻi ʻo ʻItomi. Pea naʻe pehē pe ʻenau fekau ki he tuʻi ʻo Moape: ka naʻe ʻikai loto ia ki ai: pea naʻe nofo pe ʻa ʻIsileli ʻi Ketesi.
Misitque nuncios ad regem Edom, dicens: Dimitte me ut transeam per terram tuam. Qui noluit acquiescere precibus eius. Misit quoque ad regem Moab, qui et ipse transitum præbere contempsit. Mansit itaque in Cades,
18 Naʻa nau ʻalu ai pe ʻi he toafa, pea foliaki ʻae fonua ko ʻItomi, pea mo e fonua ʻo Moape, ʻonau hoko ʻo ofi ki he fonua ʻo Moape ʻi he potu hopoʻangalaʻā, pea ʻapitanga ʻi he potu ʻe taha ʻo ʻAlanoni, ka naʻe ʻikai hoko ki loto ʻi he veʻe fonua ʻo Moape: he ko e ngataʻanga ʻo Moape ʻa ʻAlanoni.
et circuivit ex latere Terram Edom, et Terram Moab: venitque contra Orientalem plagam Terræ Moab, et castrametatus est trans Arnon: nec voluit intrare terminos Moab: Arnon quippe confinium est Terræ Moab.
19 Pea naʻe fekau ʻe ʻIsileli ʻae kau talafekau kia Sihoni ko e tuʻi ʻoe kau ʻAmoli, ko e tuʻi ʻo Hesiponi: pea naʻe pehē ʻe ʻIsileli kiate ia, ʻOku mau kole kiate koe, ke ke tuku ke mau ʻalu atu ʻi ho fonua ki hoku potu.
Misit itaque Israel nuncios ad Sehon regem Amorrhæorum, qui habitabat in Hesebon, et dixerunt ei: Dimitte ut transeam per terram tuam usque ad fluvium.
20 Ka naʻe ʻikai tui ʻa Sihoni ke tuku ʻa ʻIsileli ke ʻalu ʻi hono fonua: ka naʻe tānaki ʻe Sihoni hono kakai kotoa pē ʻo ʻapitanga ʻi Sehasi, ke tauʻi ʻa ʻIsileli.
Qui et ipse Israel verba despiciens, non dimisit eum transire per terminos suos: sed infinita multitudine congregata egressus est contra eum in Iasa, et fortiter resistebat.
21 Pea naʻe tukuange ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli, ʻa Sihoni mo hono kakai kotoa pē ki he nima ʻo ʻIsileli, pea naʻa nau taaʻi ʻakinautolu: pea naʻe maʻu ʻe ʻIsileli ʻae fonua kotoa pē ʻoe kau ʻAmoli, ko e kakai ʻoe fonua.
Tradiditque eum Dominus in manus Israel cum omni exercitu suo, qui percussit eum, et possedit omnem Terram Amorrhæi habitatoris regionis illius,
22 Pea naʻa nau maʻu ʻae ngaahi fonua kotoa pē ʻoe kau ʻAmoli, mei ʻAlanoni ʻo aʻu atu ki Sapoki, pea mei he toafa ʻo hoko ki Sioatani.
et universos fines eius de Arnon usque Iaboc, et de solitudine usque ad Iordanem.
23 Ko ia ko Sihova ko e ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli kuo ne kapusi ʻae kakai ʻAmoni, mei he ʻao ʻo hono kakai ko ʻIsileli, pea ʻoku lelei ke ke maʻu ia ʻe koe?
Dominus ergo Deus Israel subvertit Amorrhæum, pugnante contra illum populo suo Israel, et tu nunc vis possidere terram eius?
24 ʻIkai te ke maʻu ʻaia ʻoku foaki ʻe Kimosi ko ho ʻotua kiate koe? Ko ia ko kinautolu kotoa pē ʻe kapusi ʻe Sihova ko homau ʻOtua mei homau ʻao, ko kinautolu te mau maʻu.
Nonne ea quæ possidet Chamos, deus tuus, tibi iure debentur? Quæ autem Dominus Deus noster victor obtinuit, in nostram cedent possessionem:
25 Pea ko eni, ʻoku ke lelei hake koe ʻia Pelaki ko e foha ʻo Sipoa ko e tuʻi ʻo Moape? Naʻe fekuki ia mo ʻIsileli pe ʻikai? Pe naʻa ne tauʻi ʻa ʻIsileli?
nisi forte melior es Balac filio Sephor rege Moab: aut docere potes, quod iurgatus sit contra Israel, et pugnaverit contra eum:
26 Naʻe nofo ʻa ʻIsileli ʻi Hesiponi mo hono ngaahi kolo, pea ʻi ʻAloeli mo hono ngaahi kolo, pea ʻi he ngaahi kolo ʻoku tuʻu ʻi hono ngaahi ngataʻanga ʻoe fonua ʻo ʻAlanoni, ʻi he taʻu ʻe tolungeau? Ko e hā naʻe ʻikai te mou toe maʻu ʻakinautolu ʻi he ngaahi kuonga ko ia?
Quando habitavit in Hesebon, et viculis eius, et in Aroer, et villis illius, vel in cunctis civitatibus iuxta Iordanem, per trecentos annos, quare tanto tempore nihil super hac repetitione tentastis?
27 Ko ia naʻe ʻikai te u fai angahala kiate koe, ka ʻoku ke fai kovi kiate au ʻi hoʻo fie tauʻi au: ko Sihova ko e fakamaau, ke fakamaau ʻe ia he ʻaho ni koeʻuhi ko e fānau ʻa ʻIsileli mo e fānau ʻa ʻAmoni.”
Igitur non ego pecco in te, sed tu contra me male agis, indicens mihi bella non iusta. Iudicet Dominus arbiter huius diei inter Israel, et inter filios Ammon.
28 Ka naʻe ʻikai tokanga ʻae tuʻi ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻAmoni ki he ngaahi lea ʻa Sefita, ʻaia naʻa ne fekau kiate ia.
Noluitque acquiescere rex filiorum Ammon verbis Iephte, quæ per nuncios mandaverat.
29 Pea naʻe hoko ʻae Laumālie ʻo Sihova kia Sefita, pea naʻe ʻalu atu ia ʻi Kiliati, mo Manase, pea ʻalu atu ʻi Misipa ʻo Kiliati, pea ʻalu ʻi Misipa ʻo Kiliati ʻo hoko atu ki he fānau ʻa ʻAmoni.
Factus est ergo super Iephte Spiritus Domini, et circuiens Galaad, et Manasse, Maspha quoque Galaad, et inde transiens ad filios Ammon,
30 Pea naʻe lea ʻa Sefita ʻaki ʻae fuakava kia Sihova, ʻo ne pehē, “Kapau te ke tukuange moʻoni ʻae fānau ʻa ʻAmoni ki hoku nima,
votum vovit Domino, dicens: Si tradideris filios Ammon in manus meas,
31 pea ʻe pehē, ko ia ʻe hū kituʻa mei he matapā ʻo hoku fale ke fakafetaulaki kiate au ʻi heʻeku liu mai ʻi he fiemālie mei he fānau ʻa ʻAmoni, ʻe ʻa Sihova moʻoni ia, pea te u ʻatu ia ko e feilaulau tutu.”
quicumque primus fuerit egressus de foribus domus meæ, mihique occurrerit revertenti cum pace a filiis Ammon, eum holocaustum offeram Domino.
32 Pea naʻe ʻalu ai ʻa Sefita ki he fānau ʻa ʻAmoni ke tauʻi ʻakinautolu: pea naʻe tukuange ʻakinautolu ʻe Sihova ki hono nima.
Transivitque Iephte ad filios Ammon, ut pugnaret contra eos: quos tradidit Dominus in manus eius.
33 Pea ne taaʻi ʻakinautolu mei ʻAloeli, ʻo hoko atu ki Minite, ko e kolo ʻe uofulu, ʻo aʻu atu ki he toafa ʻoe ngoue vaine, ʻi he tā lahi ʻaupito. Pea naʻe pehē hono fakavaivai ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻAmoni ʻi he ʻao ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻIsileli.
Percussitque ab Aroer usque dum venias in Mennith, viginti civitates, et usque ad Abel, quæ est vineis consita, plaga magna nimis. Humiliatique sunt filii Ammon a filiis Israel.
34 Pea naʻe haʻu ʻa Sefita ki hono fale ʻi Misipi, pea vakai, naʻe haʻu kituʻa hono ʻofefine mo e ngaahi kihiʻi lali tatangi mo e meʻe ke fakafetaulaki kiate ia: pea ko hono ʻofefine pe taha ia; naʻe ʻikai hano foha pe ʻofefine ka ko ia pe.
Revertente autem Iephte in Maspha domum suam, occurrit ei unigenita filia sua cum tympanis et choris. Non enim habebat alios liberos.
35 Pea ʻi heʻene mamata kiate ia, naʻa ne haehae hono kofu, ʻo ne pehē, “ʻOiauē, hoku ʻofefine! Kuo ke fakavaivai ʻaupito au, ko e tokotaha koe ʻokinautolu ʻoku fakamamahi kiate au: he kuo faai hoku ngutu kia Sihova, pea ʻoku ʻikai te u faʻa foki kimui.”
Qua visa, scidit vestimenta sua, et ait: Heu me filia mea decepisti me, et ipsa decepta es: aperui enim os meum ad Dominum, et aliud facere non potero.
36 Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ia kiate ia, “ʻA ʻeku tamai, kapau kuo ke lea ʻaki ho ngutu kia Sihova, ke ke fai kiate au ʻo hangē ko ia kuo haʻu mei ho ngutu; he kuo fai ʻe Sihova ʻae totongi maʻau ki ho ngaahi fili, ʻio, ʻae fānau ʻa ʻAmoni.”
Cui illa respondit: Pater mi, si aperuisti os tuum ad Dominum, fac mihi quodcumque pollicitus es, concessa tibi ultione atque victoria de hostibus tuis.
37 Pea pehē ʻe ia ki heʻene tamai, “Tuku ke fai ʻae meʻa ni koeʻuhi ko au: tuku au ʻi he māhina ʻe ua, ke u feʻaluʻaki ʻi he ngaahi moʻunga ʻo tēngihia hoku tāupoʻou, ʻeau mo hoku kau fefine.”
Dixitque ad patrem: Hoc solum mihi præsta quod deprecor: Dimitte me ut duobus mensibus circumeam montes, et plangam virginitatem meam cum sodalibus meis.
38 Pea naʻe pehē ʻe ia, “ʻAlu.” Pea naʻa ne fekau ia ke ʻalu ʻi he māhina ʻe ua: pea ʻalu ia mo hono kau fefine, ʻo tēngihia hono tāupoʻou ʻi he ngaahi moʻunga.
Cui ille respondit: Vade. Et dimisit eam duobus mensibus. Cumque abiisset cum sociis ac sodalibus suis, flebat virginitatem suam in montibus.
39 Pea ʻi he ngataʻanga ʻoe māhina ʻe ua, naʻe pehē, naʻe liu mai ia ki heʻene tamai, pea naʻa ne fai kiate ia ʻo fakatatau ki heʻene fuakava naʻa ne fai: pea naʻe ʻikai te ne ʻilo ha tangata.
Expletisque duobus mensibus, reversa est ad patrem suum, et fecit ei sicut voverat, quæ ignorabat virum. Exinde mos increbruit in Israel, et consuetudo servata est:
40 Pea naʻe fai maʻu ʻae anga ko ia ʻi ʻIsileli, ʻi he ʻalu ʻae ngaahi ʻofefine ʻi ʻIsileli ʻi he ʻaho ʻe fā ʻi he taʻu kotoa pē tukufakaholo ke tēngihia ʻae ʻofefine ʻo Sefita ko e tangata Kiliati.
ut post anni circulum conveniant in unum filiæ Israel, et plangant filiam Iephte Galaaditæ diebus quattuor.
