Judges 11
1 Now Jephthah the Gileadite was a great man of war; he was the son of a loose woman, and Gilead was his father.
Jeftus, tas Gileādietis, bija stiprs karavīrs, bet viņš bija maukas bērns, ko Gileāds bija dzemdinājis.
2 And Gilead's wife gave birth to sons, and when her sons became men, they sent Jephthah away, saying, You have no part in the heritage of our father's house, for you are the son of another woman.
Kad nu Gileāda sieva viņam bērnus dzemdēja, un šās sievas bērni pieauga, tad tie Jeftu izdzina un uz to sacīja: tev nebūs mantot mūsu tēva namā, jo tu esi citas sievas dēls.
3 So Jephthah went in flight from his brothers and was living in the land of Tob, where a number of good-for-nothing men, joining Jephthah, went out with him on his undertakings.
Tad Jeftus bēga no saviem brāļiem un dzīvoja Tobas zemē, un pie Jeftus sapulcējās nelieši un izgāja līdz ar viņu.
4 Now after a time the children of Ammon made war against Israel.
Un pēc kāda laika Amona bērni karoja pret Israēli.
5 And when the children of Ammon made war against Israel, the responsible men of Gilead went to get Jephthah back from the land of Tob;
Un kad Amona bērni pret Israēli karoja, tad Gileādas vecaji nogāja, Jeftu atvest no Toba zemes.
6 And they said to Jephthah, Come and be our chief so that we may make war against the children of Ammon.
Un tie sacīja uz Jeftu: nāc un esi mums par vadoni un karosim pret Amona bērniem.
7 But Jephthah said to the responsible men of Gilead, Did you not, in your hate for me, send me away from my father's house? Why do you come to me now when you are in trouble?
Bet Jeftus sacīja uz Gileādas vecajiem: vai jūs mani neesat ienīdējuši un mani izdzinuši no mana tēva nama? Kāpēc tad jūs nu nākat pie manis, kad jums ir bēdas?
8 And the responsible men of Gilead said to Jephthah, That is the reason we have come back to you; so go with us and make war against the children of Ammon, and we will make you our head over all the people of Gilead.
Un Gileādas vecaji sacīja uz Jeftu: tāpēc mēs nu pie tevis esam griezušies, ka tev būs iet ar mums un karot pret Amona bērniem; un tev būs būt par galvu mums, visiem Gileāda iedzīvotājiem.
9 Then Jephthah said to the responsible men of Gilead, If you take me back to make war against the children of Ammon, and if with the help of the Lord I overcome them, will you make me your head?
Un Jeftus sacīja uz Gileādas vecajiem: kad jūs mani atpakaļ vedat, karot pret Amona bērniem, un kad Tas Kungs tos nodos manā priekšā, tad es jums būšu par galvu.
10 And the responsible men of Gilead said to Jephthah, May the Lord be our witness: we will certainly do as you say.
Un Gileādas vecaji sacīja uz Jeftu: lai Tas Kungs dzird mūsu sarunu, ja mēs tā nedarīsim, kā tu esi runājis.
11 So Jephthah went with the responsible men of Gilead, and the people made him head and chief over them; and Jephthah said all these things before the Lord in Mizpah.
Tad Jeftus gāja līdz Gileādas vecajiem, un tie ļaudis viņu iecēla sev par galvu un par vadoni, un Jeftus runāja visus savus vārdus Tā Kunga priekšā Micpā.
12 Then Jephthah sent men to the king of the children of Ammon, saying, What have you against me that you have come to make war against my land?
Un Jeftus sūtīja vēstnešus pie Amona bērnu ķēniņa un sacīja: kas tev ar mani, ka tu pie manis esi nācis, karot pret manu zemi?
13 And the king of the children of Ammon said to the men sent by Jephthah, Because Israel, when he came up out of Egypt, took away my land, from the Arnon as far as the Jabbok and as far as Jordan: so now, give me back those lands quietly.
Un Amona bērnu ķēniņš sacīja uz Jeftus vēstnešiem: tāpēc ka Israēls paņēmis manu zemi, kad viņš no Ēģiptes atnāca, no Arnonas līdz Jabokai un līdz Jardānei; tad nu atdod man to ar labu.
14 And Jephthah sent again to the king of the children of Ammon,
Bet Jeftus sūtīja atkal vēstnešus pie Amona bērnu ķēniņa.
15 And said to him, This is the word of Jephthah: Israel did not take away the land of Moab or the land of the children of Ammon;
Un uz to sacīja: tā saka Jeftus: Israēls nav ņēmis ne Moaba zemi, ne Amona bērnu zemi.
16 But when they came up from Egypt, Israel went through the waste land to the Red Sea and came to Kadesh;
Jo kad viņš no Ēģiptes izgāja, tad Israēls gāja pa tuksnesi līdz niedru jūrai un nāca uz Kādešu.
17 Then Israel sent men to the king of Edom saying, Let me now go through your land; but the king of Edom did not give ear to them. And in the same way he sent to the king of Moab, but he would not; so Israel went on living in Kadesh.
Un Israēls sūtīja vēstnešus pie Edoma ķēniņa un sacīja: ļauj man jel iet caur tavu zemi, bet Edoma ķēniņš neklausīja. Un viņš sūtīja arī pie Moaba ķēniņa; tas arī negribēja. Tā Israēls palika Kādešā.
18 Then he went on through the waste land and round the land of Edom and the land of Moab, and came by the east side of the land of Moab, and put up their tents on the other side of the Arnon; they did not come inside the limit of Moab, for the Arnon was the limit of Moab.
Pēc tam viņš staigaja pa tuksnesi un apgāja ap Edoma zemi un Moaba zemi un nāca no rīta puses uz Moaba zemi; un tie apmetās viņpus Arnonas, bet tie nenāca Moabiešu robežās, jo Arnona ir Moabiešu robeža.
19 And Israel sent men to Sihon, king of the Amorites, the king of Heshbon; and Israel said to him, Let me now go through your land to my place.
Bet Israēls sūtīja vēstnešus pie Sihona, Amoriešu ķēniņa, kas bija Hešbonas ķēniņš, un Israēls uz viņu sacīja: ļauj mums jel iet caur tavu zemi līdz savai vietai.
20 But Sihon would not give way and let Israel go through his land; and Sihon got together all his people, and put his army in position in Jahaz, and made war on Israel.
Bet Sihons Israēlim neuzticējās, ka tas tam būtu ļāvis iet caur savām robežām, bet Sihons sapulcēja visus savus ļaudis, un tie apmetās Jācā un karoja pret Israēli.
21 And the Lord, the God of Israel, gave Sihon and all his people into the hands of Israel, and they overcame them; so all the land of the Amorites, the people of that land, became Israel's.
Un Tas Kungs, Israēla Dievs, nodeva Sihonu un visus viņa ļaudis Israēla rokā, ka tie tos sakāva, un Israēls iemantoja visu to zemi no Amoriešiem, kas tai zemē dzīvoja.
22 All the limit of the Amorites was theirs, from the Arnon as far as the Jabbok and from the waste land even to Jordan.
Un tie uzņēma visas Amoriešu robežas no Arnonas līdz Jabokai un no tuksneša līdz Jardānei.
23 So now the Lord, the God of Israel, has taken away their land from the Amorites and given it to his people Israel; are you then to have it?
Tā nu Tas Kungs, Israēla Dievs, izdzinis Amoriešus Savu Israēla ļaužu priekšā, un tu gribi uzņemt to zemi?
24 Do you not keep the lands of those whom Chemosh your god sends out from before you? So we will keep all the lands of those whom the Lord our God sends out from before us.
Vai tev to nebūs paturēt, ko tavs dievs Kamos tev ir devis? Un mēs gribam paturēt visu to, ko Tas Kungs, mūsu Dievs, mums ir devis.
25 What! are you any better than Balak, the son of Zippor, king of Moab? Did he ever take up a cause against Israel or make war against them?
Un nu, vai tu esi labāks nekā Balaks, Cipora dēls, Moaba ķēniņš? Vai tas ar Israēli tiesājies, vai tas pret viņiem karojis?
26 While Israel was living in Heshbon and its daughter-towns and in Aroer and its daughter-towns and in all the towns which are by the side of the Arnon, for three hundred years, why did you not get them back at that time?
Kamēr Israēls dzīvojis Hešbonā un viņas ciemos un Aroērā un viņas ciemos un visās pilsētās, kas pie Arnonas, trīssimt gadus, - kāpēc tu tanī laikā tos neesi atņēmis?
27 So I have done no wrong against you, but you are doing wrong to me in fighting against me: may the Lord, who is Judge this day, be judge between the children of Israel and the children of Ammon.
Un es pret tevi neesmu grēkojis, bet tu dari pret mani ļaunu, pret mani karodams. Tas Kungs, kas ir soģis, lai šodien tiesā starp Israēla bērniem un Amona bērniem.
28 The king of the children of Ammon, however, did not give ear to the words which Jephthah sent to him.
Bet Amona bērnu ķēniņš neklausīja Jeftus vārdiem, ko viņš pie tā bija sūtījis.
29 Then the spirit of the Lord came on Jephthah, and he went through Gilead and Manasseh, and came to Mizpeh of Gilead; and from Mizpeh of Gilead he went over to the children of Ammon.
Tad Tā Kunga Gars nāca uz Jeftu, un viņš gāja caur Gileādu un Manasu, un viņš gāja uz Micpu Gileādā un no Micpas Gileādā viņš gāja pret Amona bērniem.
30 And Jephthah took an oath to the Lord, and said, If you will give the children of Ammon into my hands,
Un Jeftus solīja solījumu Tam Kungam un sacīja: ja tu Amona bērnus dosi manā rokā,
31 Then whoever comes out from the door of my house, meeting me when I come back in peace from the children of Ammon, will be the Lord's and I will give him as a burned offering.
Tad tam, kas no mana nama durvīm man nāks pretī, kad es ar mieru no Amona bērniem griezīšos atpakaļ, būs piederēt Tam Kungam, un es to upurēšu par dedzināmo upuri.
32 So Jephthah went over to the children of Ammon to make war on them; and the Lord gave them into his hands.
Tad Jeftus gāja pret Amona bērniem ar tiem kauties, un Tas Kungs tos nodeva viņa rokā.
33 And he made an attack on them from Aroer all the way to Minnith, overrunning twenty towns, as far as Abel-cheramim, and put great numbers to the sword. So the children of Ammon were crushed before the children of Israel.
Un viņš tos kāva varen lielā kaušanā no Aroēra, kamēr nāk uz Minitu, divdesmit pilsētas, un līdz tiem vīna kalnu klajumiem; tā Amona bērni tapa pazemoti Israēla bērnu priekšā.
34 Then Jephthah came back to his house in Mizpah, and his daughter came out, meeting him on his way with music and with dances; she was his only child; he had no other sons or daughters.
Kad nu Jeftus nāca uz Micpu pie sava nama, redzi, tad viņa meita viņam izgāja pretī ar bungām un stabulēm, un viņa bija tikai viņa vienīgā, un viņam nebija bez tās ne dēla ne meitas.
35 And when he saw her he was overcome with grief, and said, Ah! my daughter! I am crushed with sorrow, and it is you who are the chief cause of my trouble; for I have made an oath to the Lord and I may not take it back.
Un kad viņš to redzēja, tad viņš saplosīja savas drēbes un sacīja: ak mana meita! Tu mani lauztin esi salauzusi un tu mani apbēdini, jo es savu muti esmu atdarījis Tā Kunga priekšā un nevaru atrauties,
36 And she said to him, My father, you have made an oath to the Lord; do then to me whatever you have said; for the Lord has sent a full reward on your haters, on the children of Ammon.
Un viņa uz to sacīja: mans tēvs, ja tu savu muti Tā Kunga priekšā esi atdarījis, tad dari man, kā tas no tavas mutes gājis, kad Tas Kungs tevi atriebis pie taviem ienaidniekiem, Amona bērniem.
37 Then she said to her father, Only do this for me: let me have two months to go away into the mountains with my friends, weeping for my sad fate.
Un viņa sacīja uz savu tēvu: lai man tā notiek; dod man vaļu divus mēnešus, ka es eju un noeju kalnos un apraudu savu jumpravību, es ar savām biedrenēm.
38 And he said, Go then. So he sent her away for two months; and she went with her friends to the mountains, weeping for her sad fate.
Un viņš sacīja: ej! Un viņš to atlaida divus mēnešus. Tad viņa nogāja ar savām biedrenēm un apraudāja kalnos savu jumpravību.
39 And at the end of two months she went back to her father, who did with her as he had said in his oath: and she had never been touched by a man. So it became a rule in Israel,
Un pēc diviem mēnešiem tā griezās atpakaļ pie sava tēva, un viņš tai darīja pēc sava solījuma, ko viņš bija solījis, un viņa vīra neatzina.
40 For the women to go year by year sorrowing for the daughter of Jephthah the Gileadite, four days in every year.
Un iekš Israēla palika par likumu, ka Israēla meitas ik gadus nogāja, Jeftus, tā Gileādieša, meitu, nožēlot četras dienas gadskārtā.
