Judges 11
1 And Jephthah the Gileadite he was a mighty [man] of strength and he [was] [the] son of a woman a prostitute and he fathered Gilead Jephthah.
Jefta frå Gilead var ei gjæv kjempa. Han var son åt ei skjøkja, men Gilead var far hans.
2 And she bore [the] wife of Gilead to him sons and they grew up [the] sons of the wife and they drove out Jephthah and they said to him not you will have an inheritance in [the] house of father our for [are] [the] son of a woman another you.
Med kona si hadde Gilead og søner; då dei vart vaksne, jaga dei Jefta burt, og sagde til honom: «Du fær ingen lut i arven etter far vår; for du er son åt ei framand kvinna.»
3 And he fled Jephthah [away] from before brothers his and he dwelt in [the] land of Tob and they joined themselves to Jephthah men unprincipled and they went out with him.
Då rømde Jefta for brørne sine, og sette seg ned i Tob-land, og det samla seg mange lause karar ikring honom, og var med honom på ferderne hans.
4 And it was from days and they fought [the] people of Ammon with Israel.
So leid det av ei tid; då var det ammonitarne gjorde åtak på Israel,
5 And it was just when they fought [the] people of Ammon with Israel and they went [the] elders of Gilead to fetch Jephthah from [the] land of Tob.
og då ammonitarne bar våpn mot Israel, tok styresmennerne i Gilead ut, og vilde henta Jefta heim frå Tob-land.
6 And they said to Jephthah come! and you will become of us a commander so let us fight against [the] people of Ammon.
«Kom og ver føraren vår, » sagde dei med honom, «so vil me strida mot ammonitarne!»
7 And he said Jephthah to [the] elders of Gilead ¿ not you did you hate me and did you drive out? me from [the] house of father my and why? have you come to me now just when [is] distress to you.
«Var det’kje de som hata meg, og dreiv meg burt frå heimen min?» svara Jefta; «kvi kjem de då til meg no som de er i naud?»
8 And they said [the] elders of Gilead to Jephthah therefore now we have returned to you and you will come with us and you will fight against [the] people of Ammon and you will become of us chief of all [the] inhabitants of Gilead.
«Difor er det me no kjem att til deg, » svara styresmennerne: «Gjeng du med oss og strider mot ammonitarne, so skal du vera hovdingen vår og styra alle Gileads-buarne.»
9 And he said Jephthah to [the] elders of Gilead if [are] bringing back you me to fight against [the] people of Ammon and he will deliver up Yahweh them before me I I will become of you chief.
Då sagde Jefta til styresmennerne i Gilead: «Vert eg med dykk heim, og strider mot ammonitarne, og Herren gjev deim i mi magt, skal eg so vera hovdingen dykkar?»
10 And they said [the] elders of Gilead to Jephthah Yahweh he will be hearing between us if not according to word your so we will do.
Og dei svara: «Herren skal vera vårt vitne at me i eit og alt vil gjera som du segjer!»
11 And he went Jephthah with [the] elders of Gilead and they made the people him over them into chief and into commander and he spoke Jephthah all words his before Yahweh in Mizpah.
Då gjekk Jefta med styresmennerne; folket sette honom til sin hovding og førar, og i Mispa tok han upp att alle ordi sine for Herrens åsyn.
12 And he sent Jephthah messengers to [the] king of [the] people of Ammon saying what? [is] to me and to you that you have come to me to wage war against land my.
So sende han bod til ammonitarkongen, og sagde: «Hev me noko ubytt, eg og du, sidan du kjem hit og gjer åtak på landet mitt?»
13 And he said [the] king of [the] people of Ammon to [the] messengers of Jephthah that it took Israel land my when came up it from Egypt from [the] Arnon and to the Jabbok and to the Jordan and therefore restore! them in peace.
Då sagde ammonitarkongen til sendemennerne åt Jefta: «Då Israel kom frå Egyptarland, tok dei landet mitt, frå Arnon til Jabbok og til Jordan. Gjev det no att med godo!»
14 And he repeated again Jephthah and he sent messengers to [the] king of [the] people of Ammon.
Og Jefta sende endå ein gong bod til ammonitarkongen
15 And he said to him thus he says Jephthah not it has taken Israel [the] land of Moab and [the] land of [the] people of Ammon.
med dei ordi: «So segjer Jefta: «Israel hev ikkje teke land frå Moab eller frå Ammon.
16 That when came up they from Egypt and it went Israel in the wilderness to [the] sea of reed[s] and it came Kadesh towards.
På vegen frå Egyptarland for Israel igjenom øydemarki til Sevhavet og kom til Kades.
17 And it sent Israel messengers - to [the] king of Edom - saying let me pass please in land your and not he listened [the] king of Edom and also to [the] king of Moab it sent and not he was willing and it remained Israel at Kadesh.
Då sende dei bod til kongen i Edom, og sagde: «Kjære, lat oss få fara gjenom landet ditt!» Men Edom-kongen høyrde ikkje på dei. Til Moab-kongen sende dei og bod; men han vilde ikkje heller. So gav dei seg til i Kades.
18 And it went in the wilderness and it went around [the] land of Edom and [the] land of Moab and it came from [the] rising of [the] sun of [the] land of Moab and they encamped! on [the] other side of [the] Arnon and not they went in [the] territory of Moab for [the] Arnon [was] [the] border of Moab.
Sidan heldt dei fram gjenom øydemarki. Dei for utanikring Edomitarlandet og Moabitarlandet, til dei kom austanum Moab, og lægra seg på hi sida Arnon; dei kom ikkje inn på Moabs grunn; for Arnon er landskilet åt Moab.
19 And it sent Israel messengers to Sihon [the] king of the Amorite[s] [the] king of Heshbon and it said to him Israel let us pass please in land your to own place my.
So sende Israel bod til Sihon, amoritarkongen, kongen i Hesbon, og sagde: «Kjære, lat oss få fara gjenom landet ditt, so me kjem dit me skal!»
20 And not he trusted Sihon Israel to pass in territory his and he gathered Sihon all people his and they encamped at Jahaz and he fought with Israel.
Men Sihon trudde ikkje Israel so vel at han torde lata dei fara gjenom riket sitt; han samla heile heren sin, og dei lægra seg i Jahsa, og gav seg i strid med Israel.
21 And he gave Yahweh [the] God of Israel Sihon and all people his in [the] hand of Israel and they defeated them and it took possession of Israel all [the] land of the Amorite[s] [who] dwelt of the land that.
Og Herren, Israels Gud, gav Sihon og heile heren hans i Israels hender; Israel slo deim, og lagde under seg alle amoritarbygderne der i landet;
22 And they took possession of all [the] territory of the Amorite[s] from [the] Arnon and to the Jabbok and from the wilderness and to the Jordan.
heile Amoritarriket lagde dei under seg, frå Arnon til Jabbok, og frå øydemarki til Jordan.
23 And now Yahweh - [the] God of Israel he has dispossessed the Amorite[s] from before people his Israel and you will you take possession of? it.
So hev då Herren, Israels Gud, teke landet frå amoritarne og gjeve det til folket sitt, til Israel, og no vil du eigna det til deg!
24 ¿ Not [that] which he will cause to possess you Chemosh god your it will you take possession of and all that he has dispossessed Yahweh God our from before us it we will take possession of.
Er det’kje so at det som Kamos, guden din, let deg vinna, det eignar du til deg, og alt det som Herren, vår Gud, gjer rydigt for oss, det eignar me til oss?
25 And now ¿ really good [are] you more than Balak [the] son of Zippor [the] king of Moab ¿ really did he quarrel with Israel or? ever did he wage war against them.
Er då du so mykje betre enn Balak Sipporsson, Moabs-kongen? Trætta han med Israel, eller tok på deim?
26 When dwelt Israel in Heshbon and in daughters its and in Aroer and in daughters its and in all the cities which [were] on [the] sides of [the] Arnon three hundred year[s] and why? not did you recover [them] at the time that.
No er det tri hundrad år sidan Israel busette seg i Hesbon og dei bygderne som ligg umkring, og i Aroer, og bygdarne der umkring og i alle byarne langsmed Arnon; kvi hev de’kje teke deim att i all den tidi?
27 And I not I have sinned to you and you [are] doing with me evil by waging war against me may he judge Yahweh the judge this day between [the] people of Israel and between [the] people of Ammon.
Eg hev ikkje gjort deg noko vondt; men du gjer meg stor urett med di du tek på meg. Herren, som er den øvste domaren, skal i dag døma millom Israel og Ammon.»»
28 And not he listened [the] king of [the] people of Ammon to [the] words of Jephthah which he sent to him.
Men ammonitarkongen vilde ikkje høyra på det bodet Jefta sende honom.
29 And it was on Jephthah [the] spirit of Yahweh and he passed through Gilead and Manasseh and he passed through Mizpah of Gilead and from Mizpah of Gilead he he passed on [the] people of Ammon.
Då kom Herrens Ande yver Jefta, og han for gjenom Gilead og Manasse; so for han fram til Gileadvarden, og Gileadvarden for han fram imot ammonitarne.
30 And he vowed Jephthah a vow to Yahweh and he said certainly [if] you will give [the] people of Ammon in hand my.
Og Jefta gjorde ein lovnad til Herren, og sagde: «Gjev du ammonitarne i henderne mine,
31 And it will be whatever comes out which it will come out from [the] doors of house my to meet me when return I in peace from [the] people of Ammon and it will belong to Yahweh and I will offer up it a burnt offering.
då skal den som gjeng ut or husdøri mi og møter meg når eg kjem vel heim att frå ammonitarne, då skal den høyra Herren til; eg skal ofra honom til eit brennoffer.»
32 And he passed on Jephthah to [the] people of Ammon to fight against them (and he gave them *L(abh)*) Yahweh in hand his.
So for han fram imot ammonitarne, og stridde mot deim, og Herren gav deim i henderne hans.
33 And he defeated them from Aroer and until coming you Minnith twenty citi[es] and to Abel Keramim a defeat great very and they were subdued [the] people of Ammon from before [the] people of Israel.
Han slo deim, og elte deim frå Aroer til burtimot Minnit, og tok tjuge byar ifrå deim; sidan elte han deim alt til Abel-Keramim, det vart eit stort mannefall på deim. Då laut Ammons-sønerne bøygja seg under Israel.
34 And he came Jephthah Mizpah to house his and there! daughter his [was] coming out to meet him with tambourines and with dancing and only she [was] an only [child] not [belonged] to him from him a son or a daughter.
Då Jefta kom heim att til garden sin i Mispa, gjekk dotter hans ut imot honom, og fagna honom med trummor og dans; ho var einaste barnet hans; umfram henne hadde han’kje anten son eller dotter.
35 And it was when saw he her and he tore clothes his and he said alas! O daughter my certainly you have brought low me and you you are among [those who] trouble me and I I have opened mouth my to Yahweh and not I am able to turn back.
Med det same han fekk sjå henne, reiv han sund klædi sine, og ropa: «Gud trøyste oss, mi dotter! for ei sorg du veld meg! for ei ulukke du fører meg i! Eg hev gjort so dyr ein lovnad til Herren, og eg kann ikkje taka att ordet mitt.»
36 And she said to him O father my you have opened mouth your to Yahweh do to me just as it has come out from mouth your after that he did for you Yahweh vengeance from enemies your from [the] people of Ammon.
Då sagde ho til honom: «Far, hev du gjort so dyr ein lovnad til Herren, so gjer det med meg som du gav ordet ditt på, sidan Herren let deg få hemn yver ammonitarne, uvenerne dine!
37 And she said to father her let it be done for me the thing this refrain from me two months so let me go and I will go down on the mountains so I may weep on virginiti my I (and companions my. *Q(K)*)
Men ein ting vilde eg gjerne skulde gjerast for meg, » sagde ho med far sin: «Lat meg vera fri tvo månader, so vil eg ganga ned på heidarne med venorne mine og gråta yver mitt unge liv, eg som lyt fara burt møy!»
38 And he said go and he sent away her two months and she went she and companions her and she wept on virginiti her on the mountains.
«Gjer so!» svara han, og sagde ho kunde vera burte tvo månader. So gjekk ho med venorne sine, og gret på heidarne yver sitt unge liv.
39 And it was from [the] end of - two months and she returned to father her and he did to her vow his which he had vowed and she not she had known a man and it was a custom in Israel.
Men då tvo månader var lidne, kom ho att til far sin, og då gjorde han med henne det som han hadde lova; og ho hadde aldri vore nær nokon mann. Sidan vart det sed i Israel
40 From days - days towards they go [the] daughters of Israel to recount for [the] daughter of Jephthah the Gileadite four days in the year.
at Israels-døtterne år for år gjeng av og syng minnekvede um dotter åt Jefta frå Gilead, fire dagar um året.
