1Gilead kami Jepthah loe misatuh thaih kami ah oh; ampa loe Gilead, amno loe tangyat zaw kami ah oh.
1Now Jephthah the Gileadite was a mighty man of valour, and he was the son of a harlot; and Gilead begot Jephthah.
2Gilead ih zu mah capanawk to a sak pae, a caanawk qoeng o tahang naah loe, Anih ih ahap nawkamyanawk mah Jepthah khaeah, Nang loe prae kalah nongpata ih capa ah na oh pongah, kaicae ampa imthung takoh ih qawk tetta doeh na toep mak ai, tiah naa o moe, Jepthah to haek o ving.
2And Gilead's wife bore him sons; and when his wife's sons grew up, they drove out Jephthah, and said unto him: 'Thou shalt not inherit in our father's house; for thou art the son of another woman.'
3To pongah Jepthah loe angmah ih nawkamyanawk khae hoiah cawnh moe, Tob prae ah khosak; to prae ih misahoih kaminawk loe nawnto amkhueng o moe, anih hnukah bang o.
3Then Jephthah fled from his brethren, and dwelt in the land of Tob; and there were gathered vain fellows to Jephthah, and they went out with him.
4Atue nasetto maw oh pacoengah, Ammon kaminawk mah Israel kaminawk to tuk o.
4And it came to pass after a while, that the children of Ammon made war against Israel.
5Ammon kaminawk mah Israel kaminawk to tuk o naah, Gilead prae ih kacoehtanawk loe Jepthah kawk hanah, Tob prae ah caeh o.
5And it was so, that when the children of Ammon made war against Israel, the elders of Gilead went to fetch Jephthah out of the land of Tob.
6Nihcae mah Jepthah khaeah, Ammon misa ka tuk o thai hanah, angzoh loe, kaicae ih misatuh angraeng ah om ah, tiah a naa o.
6And they said unto Jephthah: 'Come and be our chief, that we may fight with the children of Ammon.'
7Jepthah mah kacoehtanawk khaeah, Kai nang hnukma o pongah, kam pa imthung takoh hoiah nang haek o na ai maw? Tipongah raihaih na tong o naah, kai khaeah nang zoh o let loe? tiah a naa.
7And Jephthah said unto the elders of Gilead: 'Did not ye hate me, and drive me out of my father's house? and why are ye come unto me now when ye are in distress?'
8Gilead ih kacoehtanawk mah Jepthah khaeah, Toe vaihi loe nang khaeah kang zoh o let boeh; kaicae hoi nawnto nang zoh moe, Ammon misa to na tuk nahaeloe, Gilead ah kaom kaminawk boih ukkkung ah na om o tih, tiah a naa o.
8And the elders of Gilead said unto Jephthah: 'Therefore are we returned to thee now, that thou mayest go with us, and fight with the children of Ammon, and thou shalt be our head over all the inhabitants of Gilead.'
9Jepthah mah Gilead ih kacoehtanawk khaeah, Ammon kaminawk tuk hanah kai nang lak o moe, Angraeng mah nihcae to ka ban ah paek nahaeloe, nangcae ih lu koek ah ka om tangtang tih maw? tiah a naa.
9And Jephthah said unto the elders of Gilead: 'If ye bring me back home to fight with the children of Ammon, and the LORD deliver them before me, I will be your head.'
10Gilead ih kacoehtanawk mah Jepthah khaeah, Na thuih ih loknawk baktiah ka sah o ai nahaeloe, Angraeng loe hnukung ah aicae salakah om nasoe, tiah a naa o.
10And the elders of Gilead said unto Jephthah: 'The LORD shall be witness between us; surely according to thy word so will we do.'
11To pongah Jepthah loe kacoehtanawk hnukah Gilead ah caeh; kaminawk mah anih to lu koek hoi misatuh angraeng ah suek o; to loknawk boih to Mizpah ah Angraeng hmaa ah a thuih let.
11Then Jephthah went with the elders of Gilead, and the people made him head and chief over them; and Jephthah spoke all his words before the LORD in Mizpah.
12To pacoengah Jepthah mah Ammon siangpahrang khaeah laicaehnawk to patoeh moe, Kaicae nuiah palung hoih ai ih hmuen timaw na tawnh moe, kaicae prae tuk hanah nang zoh? tiah a thuisak.
12And Jephthah sent messengers unto the king of the children of Ammon, saying: 'What hast thou to do with me, that thou art come unto me to fight against my land?'
13Ammon kaminawk ih siangpahrang mah Jepthah ih laicaehnawk khaeah, Israel kaminawk loe Izip prae hoiah angzoh o naah, ka prae to Arnon hoi Jabbok karoek to khue ai ah, Jordan vapui caehhaih loklam khoek to ang lomh pae o; to pongah vaihi lunghoihta hoiah na paek o let ah, tiah a naa.
13And the king of the children of Ammon answered unto the messengers of Jephthah: 'Because Israel took away my land, when he came up out of Egypt, from the Arnon even unto the Jabbok, and unto the Jordan; now therefore restore those cities peaceably.'
14Jepthah mah Ammon kaminawk ih siangpahrang khaeah laicaehnawk to patoeh let;
14And Jephthah sent messengers again unto the king of the children of Ammon;
15Jephthah mah anih khaeah, Israel mah Moab prae doeh, Ammon kaminawk ih prae doeh la o ai.
15and he said unto him: 'Thus saith Jephthah: Israel took not away the land of Moab, nor the land of the children of Ammon.
16Toe Israel kaminawk Izip prae hoi angzoh o naah, praezaek hoiah tuipui kathim ah ni caeh o poe; to ahmuen hoiah Kedesh avang ah caeh o;
16But when they came up from Egypt, and Israel walked through the wilderness unto the Red Sea, and came to Kadesh;
17Israel mah Edom siangpahrang khaeah laicaehnawk to patoeh moe, na prae thung hoiah na caehsak raeh, tiah tahmenhaih a hnik; toe Edom siangpahrang mah tahngai pae ai. To tiah Moab siangpahrang khaeah doeh laicaehnawk to patoeh, anih mah doeh tahngai pae ai; to pongah Israel kaminawk loe Kedesh avang ah oh o.
17then Israel sent messengers unto the king of Edom, saying: Let me, I pray thee, pass through thy land; but the king of Edom hearkened not. And in like manner he sent unto the king of Moab; but he would not; and Israel abode in Kadesh.
18To pacoengah praezaek ah caeh o moe, Edom hoi Moab prae to takui o; Moab prae ni angyae bang hoiah a caeh o moe, Arnon vapui yaeh ah atai o; Arnon vapui loe ramri ah oh pongah, Moab prae thungah akun o ai.
18Then he walked through the wilderness, and compassed the land of Edom, and the land of Moab, and came by the east side of the land of Moab, and they pitched on the other side of the Arnon; but they came not within the border of Moab, for the Arnon was the border of Moab.
19To pacoengah Israel kaminawk mah Heshbon vangpui ukkung, Amor kaminawk ih siangpahrang Sihon khaeah laicaeh to patoeh moe, Ka oh o haih ahmuen ka phak o thai hanah, na prae thung hoiah na caeh o sak raeh, tiah tahmenhaih a hnik o.
19And Israel sent messengers unto Sihon king of the Amorites, the king of Heshbon; and Israel said unto him: Let us pass, we pray thee, through thy land unto my place.
20Toe Sihon loe a prae thungah caehsak hanah Israel kaminawk to tang ai; to pongah anih mah angmah ih kaminawk boih nawnto pakhueng moe, Jahaz vangpui ah atai o pacoengah, Israel kaminawk to tuk o.
20But Sihon trusted not Israel to pass through his border; but Sihon gathered all his people together, and pitched in Jahaz, and fought against Israel.
21To naah Israel Angraeng Sithaw mah, Sihon hoi angmah ih kaminawk to Israel ban ah paek boih moe, nihcae to pazawk o; to pongah to prae thungah kaom Amor kaminawk ih prae to Israel kaminawk mah lak pae o boih.
21And the LORD, 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.
22Nihcae mah Arnon hoi kamtong Jobbok karoek to, praezaek hoi Jordan vapui karoek to lak pae o.
22And they possessed all the border of the Amorites, from the Arnon even unto the Jabbok, and from the wilderness even unto the Jordan.
23Israel Angraeng Sithaw mah, angmah ih kami Israel kaminawk hmaa ah Amor kaminawk to haek pae boih; to ahmuen to nang mah lakthaihaih na tawnh maw?
23So now the LORD, the God of Israel, hath dispossessed the Amorites from before His people Israel, and shouldest thou possess them?
24Na sithaw Kemosh mah ang paek ih hmuen to na la mak ai maw? To baktih toengah, kawbaktih ahmuen doeh kaicae Angraeng Sithaw mah kaicae hmaa ah haek ih kaminawk ohhaih ahmuen loe ka lak o han.
24Wilt not thou possess that which Chemosh thy god giveth thee to possess? So whomsoever the LORD our God hath dispossessed from before us, them will we possess.
25Nang loe Zippor capa Moab siangpahrang Balak pongah na hoih kue maw? Anih loe Israel kaminawk hoi lok angaek moe, nihcae hoiah misa angtuk vai maw?
25And now art thou any thing better than Balak the son of Zippor, king of Moab? did he ever strive against Israel, or did he ever fight against them?
26Israel kaminawk loe Heshbon vangpui hoi a taeng ih ahmuennawk, Aroer vangpui, a taeng ih ahmuen hoi Arnon tuipui taeng ih vangpuinawk boih ah saning cumvai thumto oh o, to ahmuen loe Ammon kaminawk ih long ah om tangtang nahaeloe, tipongah to ahmuen lak let hanah vaihi khoek to na zing o loe?
26While 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; wherefore did ye not recover them within that time?
27Na nuiah zaehaih tidoeh ka sah vai ai, toe nang loe kai tuk hanah hmuen na sakpazae boeh; vaihniah lokcaekkung Angraeng mah Israel kaminawk hoi Ammon kaminawk salakah lokcaek nasoe, tiah a naa.
27I therefore have not sinned against thee, but thou doest me wrong to war against me; the LORD, the Judge, be judge this day between the children of Israel and the children of Ammon.'
28Toe Jepthah mah kami patoeh moe, thuisak ih lok to Ammon siangpahrang mah pathim pae ai.
28Howbeit the king of the children of Ammon hearkened not unto the words of Jephthah which he sent him.
29To pacoengah Angraeng ih Muithla to Jepthah nuiah phak; Gilead hoi Manasseh prae to phak moe, Gilead prae thungah kaom Mizpah vangpui to a poeng, Mizpah hoiah Ammon kaminawk ohhaih ahmuen ah a caeh.
29Then the spirit of the LORD came upon Jephthah, and he passed over Gilead and Manasseh, and passed over Mizpeh of Gilead, and from Mizpeh of Gilead he passed over unto the children of Ammon.
30To naah Jepthah mah Angraeng khaeah, Ammon kaminawk ka ban ah nang paek tangtang nahaeloe,
30And Jephthah vowed a vow unto the LORD, and said: 'If Thou wilt indeed deliver the children of Ammon into my hand,
31Ammon kaminawk pazawk pacoengah, kamongah kam laem let naah, kai dawt hanah kaimah ih thok taengah, tacawt hmaloe kami to Angraeng han hmai angbawnhaih ah ka paek han, tiah lokkamhaih a sak.
31then it shall be, that whatsoever cometh forth of the doors of my house to meet me, when I return in peace from the children of Ammon, it shall be the LORD'S, and I will offer it up for a burnt-offering.'
32To pacoengah Jepthah loe Ammon misatuk hanah caeh; Angraeng mah nihcae to Jepthah ban ah paek.
32So Jephthah passed over unto the children of Ammon to fight against them; and the LORD delivered them into his hand.
33Anih mah Aroer hoi Minnith vangpui khoek to, to ahmuen hoiah Abel Keramin vangpui karoek to, vangpui pumphaeto phraek pae o moe, kaminawk to hum o. Israel kaminawk mah Ammon kaminawk to pazawk o.
33And he smote them from Aroer until thou come to Minnith, even twenty cities, and unto Abel-cheramim, with a very great slaughter. So the children of Ammon were subdued before the children of Israel.
34Jepthah loe Mizpah vangpui ih angmah im ah phak naah, khenah, a canu loe ampa dawt hanah, cingceng boh moe, hnawh hoiah hmaloe koek ah tacawt; anih loe canu maeto khue ni tawnh; anih ai ah loe kalah capa hoi canu doeh tawn ai boeh.
34And Jephthah came to Mizpah unto his house, and, behold, his daughter came out to meet him with timbrels and with dances; and she was his only child; beside her he had neither son nor daughter.
35Anih mah a canu to hnuk naah, a khukbuen angkhring moe, Aw, ka canu! Kai hae nang hnaemsak moe, raihaih nang paek boeh; Angraeng khaeah lokkamhaih ka sak boeh pongah, ka phrae thai let ai boeh, tiah a naa.
35And it came to pass, when he saw her, that he rent his clothes, and said: 'Alas, my daughter! thou hast brought me very low, and thou art become my troubler; for I have opened my mouth unto the LORD, and I cannot go back.'
36A canu mah ampa khaeah, Pa, Angraeng khaeah lok na kam boeh loe, na thuih ih lok baktih toengah na sah ah; Angraeng mah na misa Ammon kaminawk nuiah nang hanah lu ang lak pae boeh.
36And she said unto him: 'My father, thou hast opened thy mouth unto the LORD; do unto me according to that which hath proceeded out of thy mouth; forasmuch as the LORD hath taken vengeance for thee of thine enemies, even of the children of Ammon.'
37A canu mah ampa khaeah, Toe kai loe kam puinawk hoi nawnto mae nuiah ka dawh o tahang moe, tangla kacuem ah ka ohhaih hae ka qahhaih hanah, khrah hnetto thung, kaimabueng ah na omsak raeh, tiah a naa.
37And she said unto 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.'
38Ampa mah, Caeh khae, tiah a naa. Khrah hnetto thung a caehsak; a canu loe angmah ih ampui nongpatanawk hoi nawnto caeh o moe, mae nuiah tangla kacuem ah ohhaih to a qah haih.
38And 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.
39Khrah hnetto laemh pacoengah, ampa khaeah amlaem let; a sak ih lokkamhaih baktih toengah a canu to a sak; a canu loe tangla kacuem ah oh. To baktih hmuen sakhaih loe Israel kaminawk ih atawk ah oh.
39And it came to pass at the end of two months, that she returned unto her father, who did with her according to his vow which he had vowed; and she had not known man. And it was a custom in Israel,
40To pacoengah Israel nongpatanawk loe, Gilead kami Jepthah ih canu qah haih hanah, saningto naah ni palito qah o haih.
40that the daughters of Israel went yearly to lament the daughter of Jephthah the Gileadite four days in a year.
