Sog̒u 11
1 Jeftus, tas Gileādietis, bija stiprs karavīrs, bet viņš bija maukas bērns, ko Gileāds bija dzemdinājis.
Now Jephthah the Gileadite was a mighty man of valour, and he was the son of an harlot: and Gilead begat Jephthah.
2 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.
And Gilead’s wife bore him sons; and his wife’s sons grew up, and they thrust out Jephthah, and said to him, Thou shalt not inherit in our father’s house; for thou art the son of a another woman.
3 Tad Jeftus bēga no saviem brāļiem un dzīvoja Tobas zemē, un pie Jeftus sapulcējās nelieši un izgāja līdz ar viņu.
Then Jephthah fled from his brethren, and dwelt in the land of Tob: and there were gathered worthless men to Jephthah, and they went out with him.
4 Un pēc kāda laika Amona bērni karoja pret Israēli.
And it came to pass in process of time, that the children of Ammon made war against Israel.
5 Un kad Amona bērni pret Israēli karoja, tad Gileādas vecaji nogāja, Jeftu atvest no Toba zemes.
And it was so, that when the children of Ammon made war against Israel, the elders of Gilead went to bring Jephthah out of the land of Tob:
6 Un tie sacīja uz Jeftu: nāc un esi mums par vadoni un karosim pret Amona bērniem.
And they said to Jephthah, Come, and be our captain, that we may fight with the children of Ammon.
7 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?
And Jephthah said to the elders of Gilead, Did ye not hate me, and drive me out of my father’s house? and why have ye come to me now when ye are in distress?
8 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.
And the elders of Gilead said to Jephthah, Therefore we turn again to thee now, that thou mayest go with us, and fight against the children of Ammon, and be our head over all the inhabitants of Gilead.
9 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.
And Jephthah said to the elders of Gilead, If ye bring me home again to fight against the children of Ammon, and the LORD deliver them before me, shall I be your head?
10 Un Gileādas vecaji sacīja uz Jeftu: lai Tas Kungs dzird mūsu sarunu, ja mēs tā nedarīsim, kā tu esi runājis.
And the elders of Gilead said to Jephthah, The LORD be a witness between us, if we do not so according to thy words.
11 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.
Then Jephthah went with the elders of Gilead, and the people made him head and captain over them: and Jephthah uttered all his words before the LORD in Mizpeh.
12 Un Jeftus sūtīja vēstnešus pie Amona bērnu ķēniņa un sacīja: kas tev ar mani, ka tu pie manis esi nācis, karot pret manu zemi?
And Jephthah sent messengers to the king of the children of Ammon, saying, What hast thou to do with me, that thou hast come against me to fight in my land?
13 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.
And the king of the children of Ammon answered to the messengers of Jephthah, Because Israel took away my land, when they came out of Egypt, from Arnon even to Jabbok, and to Jordan: now therefore restore those lands again peaceably.
14 Bet Jeftus sūtīja atkal vēstnešus pie Amona bērnu ķēniņa.
And Jephthah sent messengers again to the king of the children of Ammon:
15 Un uz to sacīja: tā saka Jeftus: Israēls nav ņēmis ne Moaba zemi, ne Amona bērnu zemi.
And said to him, Thus saith Jephthah, Israel took not away the land of Moab, nor the land of the children of Ammon:
16 Jo kad viņš no Ēģiptes izgāja, tad Israēls gāja pa tuksnesi līdz niedru jūrai un nāca uz Kādešu.
But when Israel came up from Egypt, and walked through the wilderness to the Red sea, and came to Kadesh;
17 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.
Then Israel sent messengers to the king of Edom, saying, Let me, I pray thee, pass through thy land: but the king of Edom would not hearken to it. And in like manner they sent to the king of Moab: but he would not consent: and Israel abode in Kadesh.
18 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.
Then they went along through the wilderness, and went around the land of Edom, and the land of Moab, and came by the east side of the land of Moab, and encamped on the other side of Arnon, but came not within the border of Moab: for Arnon was the border of Moab.
19 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.
And Israel sent messengers to Sihon king of the Amorites, the king of Heshbon; and Israel said to him, Let us pass, we pray thee, through thy land to my place.
20 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.
But Sihon trusted not Israel to pass through his land: but Sihon gathered all his people together, and encamped in Jahaz, and fought against Israel.
21 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.
And the LORD 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.
22 Un tie uzņēma visas Amoriešu robežas no Arnonas līdz Jabokai un no tuksneša līdz Jardānei.
And they possessed all the land of the Amorites, from Arnon even to Jabbok, and from the wilderness even to Jordan.
23 Tā nu Tas Kungs, Israēla Dievs, izdzinis Amoriešus Savu Israēla ļaužu priekšā, un tu gribi uzņemt to zemi?
So now the LORD God of Israel hath dispossessed the Amorites from before his people Israel, and shouldest thou possess it?
24 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.
Wilt not thou possess that which Chemosh thy god giveth thee to possess? So whomever the LORD our God shall drive out from before us, them will we possess.
25 Un nu, vai tu esi labāks nekā Balaks, Cipora dēls, Moaba ķēniņš? Vai tas ar Israēli tiesājies, vai tas pret viņiem karojis?
And 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,
26 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?
While Israel dwelt in Heshbon and her towns, and in Aroer and her towns, and in all the cities that are along by the banks of Arnon, three hundred years? why therefore did ye not recover them within that time?
27 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.
Therefore I 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.
28 Bet Amona bērnu ķēniņš neklausīja Jeftus vārdiem, ko viņš pie tā bija sūtījis.
But the king of the children of Ammon hearkened not to the words of Jephthah which he sent him.
29 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.
Then 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 to the children of Ammon.
30 Un Jeftus solīja solījumu Tam Kungam un sacīja: ja tu Amona bērnus dosi manā rokā,
And Jephthah vowed a vow to the LORD, and said, If thou shalt without fail deliver the children of Ammon into my hands,
31 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.
Then it shall be, that whatever cometh out of the doors of my house to meet me, when I return in peace from the children of Ammon, shall surely be the LORD’S, and I will offer it for a burnt offering.
32 Tad Jeftus gāja pret Amona bērniem ar tiem kauties, un Tas Kungs tos nodeva viņa rokā.
So Jephthah passed over to the children of Ammon to fight against them; and the LORD delivered them into his hands.
33 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.
And he smote them from Aroer, even till thou comest to Minnith, even twenty cities, and to the plain of the vineyards, with a very great slaughter. Thus the children of Ammon were subdued before the children of Israel.
34 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.
And Jephthah came to Mizpeh to 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.
35 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,
And it came to pass, when he saw her, that he tore his clothes, and said, Alas, my daughter! thou hast brought me very low, and thou art one of them that trouble me: for I have opened my mouth to the LORD, and I cannot go back.
36 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.
And she said to him, My father, if thou hast opened thy mouth to the LORD, do to me according to that which hath proceeded out of thy mouth; forasmuch as the LORD hath taken vengeance for thee of thy enemies, even of the children of Ammon.
37 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.
And she said to her father, Let this thing be done for me: let me alone two months, that I may go up and down upon the mountains, and bewail my virginity, I and my companions.
38 Un viņš sacīja: ej! Un viņš to atlaida divus mēnešus. Tad viņa nogāja ar savām biedrenēm un apraudāja kalnos savu jumpravību.
And he said, Go. And he sent her away for two months: and she went with her companions, and bewailed her virginity upon the mountains.
39 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.
And it came to pass at the end of two months, that she returned to her father, who did with her according to his vow which he had vowed: and she knew no man. And it was a custom in Israel,
40 Un iekš Israēla palika par likumu, ka Israēla meitas ik gadus nogāja, Jeftus, tā Gileādieša, meitu, nožēlot četras dienas gadskārtā.
That the daughters of Israel went yearly to lament the daughter of Jephthah the Gileadite four days in a year.
