Lokcaekkung 11
1 Gilead kami Jepthah loe misatuh thaih kami ah oh; ampa loe Gilead, amno loe tangyat zaw kami ah oh.
Now Jephthah the Gileadite was a mighty man of valour, and he was the son of an harlot: and Gilead brings forth Jephthah.
2 Gilead 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.
And Gilead's wife bare him sons; and his wife's sons grew up, and they thrust out Jephthah, and said unto him, You shall not inherit in our father's house; for you are the son of a strange woman.
3 To 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.
Then Jephthah fled from his brethren, and dwelt in the land of Tob: and there were gathered vain men to Jephthah, and went out with him.
4 Atue nasetto maw oh pacoengah, Ammon kaminawk mah Israel kaminawk to tuk o.
And it came to pass in process of time, that the children of Ammon made war against Israel.
5 Ammon kaminawk mah Israel kaminawk to tuk o naah, Gilead prae ih kacoehtanawk loe Jepthah kawk hanah, Tob prae ah caeh o.
And 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:
6 Nihcae mah Jepthah khaeah, Ammon misa ka tuk o thai hanah, angzoh loe, kaicae ih misatuh angraeng ah om ah, tiah a naa o.
And they said unto Jephthah, Come, and be our captain, that we may fight with the children of Ammon.
7 Jepthah 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.
And Jephthah said unto the elders of Gilead, Did not all of you hate me, and expel me out of my father's house? and why are all of you come unto me now when all of you are in distress?
8 Gilead 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.
And the elders of Gilead said unto Jephthah, Therefore we return to you now, that you may go with us, and fight against the children of Ammon, and be our head over all the inhabitants of Gilead.
9 Jepthah 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.
And Jephthah said unto the elders of Gilead, If all of you bring me home again to fight against the children of Ammon, and the LORD deliver them before me, shall I be your head?
10 Gilead 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.
And the elders of Gilead said unto Jephthah, The LORD be witness between us, if we do not so according to your words.
11 To 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.
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 To 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.
And Jephthah sent messengers unto the king of the children of Ammon, saying, What have you to do with me, that you are come against me to fight in my land?
13 Ammon 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.
And the king of the children of Ammon answered unto the messengers of Jephthah, Because Israel took away my land, when they came up out of Egypt, from Arnon even unto Jabbok, and unto Jordan: now therefore restore those lands again peaceably.
14 Jepthah mah Ammon kaminawk ih siangpahrang khaeah laicaehnawk to patoeh let;
And Jephthah sent messengers again unto the king of the children of Ammon:
15 Jephthah mah anih khaeah, Israel mah Moab prae doeh, Ammon kaminawk ih prae doeh la o ai.
And said unto him, Thus says Jephthah, Israel took not away the land of Moab, nor the land of the children of Ammon:
16 Toe 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;
But when Israel came up from Egypt, and walked through the wilderness unto the Red sea, and came to Kadesh;
17 Israel 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.
Then Israel sent messengers unto the king of Edom, saying, Let me, I pray you, pass through your land: but the king of Edom would not hearken thereto. And in like manner they sent unto the king of Moab: but he would not consent: and Israel abode in Kadesh.
18 To 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.
Then they went along 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 pitched on the other side of Arnon, but came not within the border of Moab: for Arnon was the border of Moab.
19 To 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.
And Israel sent messengers unto Sihon king of the Amorites, the king of Heshbon; and Israel said unto him, Let us pass, we pray you, through your land into my place.
20 Toe 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.
But Sihon trusted not Israel to pass through his coast: but Sihon gathered all his people together, and pitched in Jahaz, and fought against Israel.
21 To 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.
And the LORD God of Israel delivered Sihon and all his people into the hand of Israel, and they stroke them: so Israel possessed all the land of the Amorites, the inhabitants of that country.
22 Nihcae mah Arnon hoi kamtong Jobbok karoek to, praezaek hoi Jordan vapui karoek to lak pae o.
And they possessed all the coasts of the Amorites, from Arnon even unto Jabbok, and from the wilderness even unto Jordan.
23 Israel 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?
So now the LORD God of Israel has dispossessed the Amorites from before his people Israel, and should you possess it?
24 Na 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.
Will not you possess that which Chemosh your god gives you to possess? So whomsoever the LORD our God shall drive out from before us, them will we possess.
25 Nang 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?
And now are you 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 Israel 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?
While Israel dwelt in Heshbon and her towns, and in Aroer and her towns, and in all the cities that be along by the coasts of Arnon, three hundred years? why therefore did all of you not recover them within that time?
27 Na 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.
Wherefore I have not sinned against you, but you do 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 Toe Jepthah mah kami patoeh moe, thuisak ih lok to Ammon siangpahrang mah pathim pae ai.
Nevertheless the king of the children of Ammon hearkened not unto the words of Jephthah which he sent him.
29 To 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.
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 unto the children of Ammon.
30 To naah Jepthah mah Angraeng khaeah, Ammon kaminawk ka ban ah nang paek tangtang nahaeloe,
And Jephthah vowed a vow unto the LORD, and said, If you shall without fail deliver the children of Ammon into mine hands,
31 Ammon 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.
Then it shall be, that whatsoever comes 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 up for a burnt offering.
32 To pacoengah Jepthah loe Ammon misatuk hanah caeh; Angraeng mah nihcae to Jepthah ban ah paek.
So Jephthah passed over unto the children of Ammon to fight against them; and the LORD delivered them into his hands.
33 Anih 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.
And he stroke them from Aroer, even till you come to Minnith, even twenty cities, and unto the plain of the vineyards, with a very great slaughter. Thus the children of Ammon were subdued before the children of Israel.
34 Jepthah 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.
And Jephthah came to Mizpeh 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.
35 Anih 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.
And it came to pass, when he saw her, that he rent his clothes, and said, Alas, my daughter! you have brought me very low, and you are one of them that trouble me: for I have opened my mouth unto the LORD, and I cannot go back.
36 A 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.
And she said unto him, My father, if you have opened your mouth unto the LORD, do to me according to that which has proceeded out of your mouth; forasmuch as the LORD has taken vengeance for you of your enemies, even of the children of Ammon.
37 A 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.
And she said unto 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 mourn for my virginity, I and my fellows.
38 Ampa 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.
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 Khrah 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.
And 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 knew no man. And it was a custom in Israel,
40 To pacoengah Israel nongpatanawk loe, Gilead kami Jepthah ih canu qah haih hanah, saningto naah ni palito qah o haih.
That the daughters of Israel went yearly to lament the daughter of Jephthah the Gileadite four days in a year.
