1 N ow Jephthah the Gileadite was a mighty warrior, but he was the son of a harlot. Gilead was Jephthah’s father.

Haddaba Yeftaah oo reer Gilecaad ahaa wuxuu ahaa nin xoog leh, oo wuxuuna ahaa dhillo wiilkeed. Yeftaahna waxaa dhalay Gilecaad.

2 A nd Gilead’s wife also bore him sons, and when his wife’s sons grew up, they thrust Jephthah out and said to him, You shall not have an inheritance in our father’s house, for you are the son of another woman.

Oo Gilecaad naagtiisiina wiilal bay u dhashay, oo wiilashii naagtiisuna markay koreen ayay Yeftaah iska eryeen, oo waxay ku yidhaahdeen, Reerka aabbeheen adigu nala dhaxli maysid; maxaa yeelay, naag kalaa ku dhashay.

3 T hen Jephthah fled from his brothers and dwelt in the land of Tob; and worthless men gathered around Jephthah and went on raids with him.

Markaasuu Yeftaah walaalihiis ka cararay, oo wuxuu degay dalkii Toob: markaasaa waxaa isku soo ururay ciyaalasuuq, oo iyana waxay raaceen Yeftaah.

4 A nd after a time, the Ammonites made war against Israel.

Oo intii wakhti ah dabadeed ayay reer Cammoon la dirireen reer binu Israa'iil.

5 A nd when the Ammonites made war against Israel, the elders of Gilead went to bring Jephthah out of the land of Tob;

Oo markii reer Cammoon ay la dirireen reer binu Israa'iil ayaa odayaashii reer Gilecaad Yeftaah ka dooneen dalkii Toob;

6 A nd they said to Jephthah, Come and be our leader, that we may fight with the Ammonites.

oo waxay Yeftaah ku yidhaahdeen, Kaalay oo madax noo noqo, aynu reer Cammoon la dirirnee.

7 B ut Jephthah said to the elders of Gilead, Did you not hate me and drive me out of my father’s house? Why have you come to me now when you are in trouble?

Markaasuu Yeftaah odayaashii reer Gilecaad ku yidhi, War sow ima aydnaan nebcayn oo igama aydnaan eryin reerkii aabbahay? Maxaad haatan iigu timaadeen idinkoo cidhiidhi ku jira?

8 A nd the elders of Gilead said to Jephthah, This is why we have turned to you now, that you may go with us and fight the Ammonites and be our head over all the citizens of Gilead.

Oo odayaashii reer Gilecaadna waxay ku yidhaahdeen Yeftaah, War haatan waannu kuu soo noqonnay si aad noo raacdid oo aad ula dirirtid reer Cammoon, oo madax ayaad noo noqonaysaa oo waxaad ugu sarraynaysaa dadka deggan dalka Gilecaad oo dhan.

9 J ephthah said to the elders of Gilead, If you bring me home again to fight against the Ammonites and the Lord gives them over to me, I will be your head.

Markaasuu Yeftaah ku yidhi odayaashii reer Gilecaad, Haddaad mar kale dalkii iigu celisaan inaan reer Cammoon la diriro, oo Rabbigu iyaga gacanta ii soo geliyo, de markaas madax ma idiin noqonayaa?

10 A nd the elders of Gilead said to Jephthah, The Lord is witness between us, if we do not do as you have said.

Oo odayaashii reer Gilecaadna waxay Yeftaah ku yidhaahdeen, Taas Rabbigu ha ka noqdo marag inoo dhexaya; oo hubaal waxaannu yeelaynaa siduu eraygaagu yahay.

11 S o Jephthah went with the elders of Gilead, and the people made him head and leader over them. And Jephthah repeated all he had promised before the Lord at Mizpah.

Markaasuu Yeftaah raacay odayaashii reer Gilecaad oo dadkiina waxay isagii ka dhigteen madax iyo ugaas iyaga ka sarreeya; oo Yeftaah wuxuu hadalkiisii oo dhan Rabbiga ugu sheegay Misfaah.

12 A nd Jephthah sent messengers to the king of the Ammonites, saying, What have you to do with me, that you have come against me to fight in my land?

Markaasuu Yeftaah wargeeyayaal u diray boqorkii reer Cammoon, oo wuxuu ku yidhi, War maxaa inaga dhexeeya, oo maxaad iigu timid oo aad dalkayga iigu la diriraysaa?

13 T he Ammonites’ king replied to the messengers of Jephthah, Because Israel took away my land when they came up out of Egypt, from the Arnon even to Jabbok and to the Jordan; now therefore, restore those lands peaceably.

Markaasuu boqorkii reer Cammoon ku yidhi wargeeyayaashii Yeftaah ka yimid, Maxaa yeelay, reer binu Israa'iil markii ay ka yimaadeen Masar, waxay iga dhaceen dalkaygii ilaa Arnoon iyo tan iyo xataa Yabboq, iyo ilaa Urdun; haddaba dalalkaas oo dhan nabad iigu soo celi.

14 A nd Jephthah sent messengers again to the king of the Ammonites

Oo Yeftaah haddana wargeeyayaal buu u diray boqorkii reer Cammoon;

15 A nd said to him, Thus says Jephthah, Israel did not take the land of Moab or the land of the Ammonites.

oo wuxuu ku yidhi, Yeftaah wuxuu leeyahay, Reer binu Israa'iil ma dhicin dalkii reer Moo'aab iyo dalkii reer Cammoon toona:

16 B ut when came up from Egypt, walked through the wilderness to the Red Sea and came to Kadesh.

laakiinse markii ay ka yimaadeen Masar, reer binu Israa'iil waxay soo mareen cidlada ilaa xagga Badda Cas, oo dabadeedna waxay yimaadeen Qaadeesh;

17 T hen Israel sent messengers to the king of Edom, saying, Let us, we pray, pass through your land, but the king of Edom would not listen. Also they sent to the king of Moab, but he would not consent. So Israel remained at Kadesh.

markaasaa reer binu Israa'iil waxay wargeeyayaal u direen boqorkii reer Edom, oo waxay ku yidhaahdeen, Waannu ku baryaynaaye, aannu dalkaaga dhex marno; laakiinse boqorkii reer Edom ma uu dhegaysan. Sidaas oo kalena waxay cid u direen boqorkii reer Moo'aab; laakiinse isna wuu diiday; oo reer binu Israa'iilna waxay iska joogeen Qaadeesh.

18 T hen they went 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 camped on the other side of the Arnon; but they came not within the territory of Moab, for the Arnon was the boundary of Moab.

Markaasay dhex mareen cidladii, oo waxay hareereeyeen dalkii reer Edom, iyo dalkii reer Moo'aab, oo waxay yimaadeen geesta bari oo dalka reer Moo'aab, oo waxay degeen Arnoon geesteeda kale; laakiinse soohdintii reer Moo'aab sooma ay gelin, waayo, Arnoon waxay ahayd soohdintii dalka reer Moo'aab.

19 T hen Israel sent messengers to Sihon king of the Amorites, king of Heshbon, and Israel said to him, Let us pass, we pray you, through your land to our country.

Markaasay reer binu Israa'iil wargeeyayaal u direen boqorkii reer Amor oo Siixon ahaa oo boqor u ahaa Xeshboon; oo reer binu Israa'iil waxay ku yidhaahdeen Siixon, Waannu ku baryaynaaye, aannu dalkaaga dhex marno si aannu ugu gudubno meeshayadii.

20 B ut Sihon did not trust Israel to pass through his territory; so Sihon gathered all his people together and encamped at Jahaz and fought with Israel.

Laakiinse Siixon ma aaminin reer binu Israa'iil inay dhex maraan dalkiisii; laakiinse Siixon wuxuu soo urursaday dadkiisii oo dhan, oo intuu Yahas soo degay ayuu reer binu Israa'iil la diriray.

21 A nd the Lord, the God of Israel, gave Sihon and all his people into the hand of Israel, and they defeated them; so Israel took possession of all the land of the Amorites, the inhabitants of that country.

Markaasuu Rabbiga ah Ilaaha reer binu Israa'iil Siixon iyo dadkiisii oo dhanba ku riday gacantii reer binu Israa'iil oo iyana way laayeen iyagii; oo sidaasay reer binu Israa'iil ku hantiyeen dalkii reer Amor oo dhan iyo dadkii waddankaasba.

22 T hey possessed all the territory of the Amorites, from the Arnon even to the Jabbok, and from the wilderness even to the Jordan.

Oo waxay hantiyeen dalkii reer Amor oo dhan tan iyo Arnoon iyo ilaa Yabboq, iyo tan iyo cidlada iyo ilaa Webi Urdun.

23 S o now the Lord God of Israel has dispossessed the Amorites from before His people Israel, and should you possess them?

Haddaba haatan inta Rabbiga ah Ilaaha reer binu Israa'iil reer Amor dalka kaga qaaday dadkiisa reer binu Israa'iil hortooda, miyaad adigu qabsanaysaa iyaga?

24 W ill you not possess what Chemosh your god gives you to possess? And all the Lord our God dispossessed before us, we will possess.

Sow lahaan maysid wuxuu ilaahaaga Kemoosh ahu ku siiyo inaad lahaatid? Taas aawadeed kuwa Rabbiga Ilaahayaga ahu hortayada ka eryo waannu qabsan doonnaa.

25 N ow are you any better than Balak son of Zippor, king of Moab? Did he ever strive against Israel or did he ever go to war with them?

Haddaba miyaad ka wanaagsan tahay boqorkii reer Moo'aab oo ahaa Baalaaq ina Sifoor? Miyuu weligiis la diriray reer binu Israa'iil, oo miyuu weligiis la dagaallamay reer binu Israa'iil?

26 W hile Israel dwelt in Heshbon and its villages, and in Aroer and its villages, and in all the cities along the banks of the Arnon for 300 years, why did you not recover during that time?

Oo intii reer binu Israa'iil ay degganaayeen Xeshboon iyo magaalooyinkeedii, iyo Carooceer iyo magaalooyinkeedii, iyo magaalooyinkii Arnoon dhinaceeda ku yiil oo dhan, intaasu waxay ahayd saddex boqol oo sannadood ee maxaad wakhtigaas u soo qabsan weydeen?

27 S o I have not sinned against you, but you are doing me wrong to war against me. The Lord, the Judge, judge this day between the Israelites and the Ammonites.

Sidaas daraaddeed anigu kuguma aan dembaabin, laakiinse adigu qalad baad igu samaynaysaa inaad ila dirirto. Rabbiga xaakinka ahu maanta ha noqdo xaakin u dhexeeya reer binu Israa'iil iyo reer Cammoon.

28 B ut the king of the Ammonites did not listen to the message Jephthah sent him.

Habase yeeshee, boqorkii reer Cammoon ma uu dhegaysan erayadii Yeftaah u soo diray.

29 T hen the Spirit of the Lord came upon Jephthah, and he passed through Gilead and Manasseh, and Mizpah of Gilead, and from Mizpah of Gilead he passed on to the Ammonites.

Markaasaa Ruuxii Rabbigu wuxuu ku soo degay Yeftaah, oo wuxuu soo dhaafay reer Gilecaad iyo reer Manaseh, oo wuxuu soo dhaafay Misfaah tii reer Gilecaad, oo markaasuu Misfaah tii reer Gilecaadna wuxuu uga sii gudbay xagga reer Cammoon.

30 A nd Jephthah made a vow to the Lord and said, If You will indeed give the Ammonites into my hand,

Markaasaa Yeftaah wuxuu Rabbiga u nidray nidar, oo wuxuu yidhi, Hubaal haddaad reer Cammoon gacantayda soo geliso,

31 T hen whatever or whoever comes forth from the doors of my house to meet me when I return in peace from the Ammonites, it shall be the Lord’s, and I will offer it or him up as a burnt offering.

markaasaa wax alla wixii irdaha gurigayga ka soo baxo inuu ila kulmo markaan reer Cammoon nabad kaga soo noqdo, waxaa lahaan doona Rabbiga, oo waxaan u bixin doonaa allabari la gubo.

32 T hen Jephthah crossed over to the Ammonites to fight with them, and the Lord gave them into his hand.

Markaasuu Yeftaah u gudbay xagga reer Cammoon inuu la dagaallamo, oo Rabbiguna gacantiisuu soo geliyey.

33 A nd from Aroer to Minnith he smote them, twenty cities, and as far as Abel-cheramim, with a very great slaughter. So the Ammonites were subdued before the Israelites.

Oo wuxuu iyagii laayay ilaa Carooceer iyo tan iyo ilaa aad Minniid timaadid, oo intaasu waxay ahaayeen labaatan magaalo, oo ilaa Aabeel Keraamiimna wuxuu ku laayay dad badan. Sidaasaa reer Cammoon loogu hoosaysiiyey reer binu Israa'iil hortooda.

34 T hen Jephthah came to Mizpah to his home, 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.

Markaasuu Yeftaah yimid Misfaah xagga gurigiisii, oo bal eeg, gabadhiisii baa ka soo baxday inay la kulanto, iyadoo daf tumaysa oo cayaaraysa. Madi bay u ahayd oo iyada mooyaane wiil iyo gabadh midna ma uu lahayn.

35 A nd when he saw her, he rent his clothes and said, Alas, my daughter! You have brought me very low, and you are the cause of great trouble to me; for I have opened my mouth to the Lord, and I cannot take it back.

Oo markuu arkay iyadii ayuu dharkiisii iska jeexjeexay, oo wuxuu yidhi, Hoogay gabadhaydiiyey! Hoos baad ii dhigtay, oo waxaad tahay kuwa i dhiba middood; waayo, Rabbigaan afkayga u furay, oo dibna uma aan noqon karo.

36 A nd she said to him, My father, if you have opened your mouth to the Lord, do to me according to what you have vowed, since the Lord has taken vengeance for you on your enemies, the Ammonites.

Oo waxay ku tidhi, Aabbahayow, Rabbigaad afkaaga u furtay, haddaba igu samee wixii afkaaga ka soo baxay, waayo, Rabbigu waa kaaga aarguday cadaawayaashaadii, kuwaasoo ahaa reer Cammoon.

37 A nd she said to her father, Let this thing be done for me; let me alone two months, that I may go and wander upon the mountains and bewail my virginity, I and my companions.

Oo waxay aabbaheed ku tidhi, Bal waxan ha la ii sameeyo, intii laba bilood ah i daa, oo intaan buuraha tago, aniga iyo saaxiibadahay, aan bikradnimadayda u baroortee.

38 A nd he said, Go. And he sent her away for two months, and she went with her companions and bewailed her virginity upon the mountains.

Markaasuu yidhi, Tag. Oo intii laba bilood ah ayuu iska diray; oo iyadii iyo saaxiibadaheedba way tageen, oo bikradnimadeedii ayay buuraha ugu soo baroorteen.

39 A t the end of two months she returned to her father, who did with her according to his vow which he had vowed. She never mated with a man. This became a custom in Israel—

Oo labadii bilood dabadeed ayay ku soo noqotay aabbaheed, oo isna wuxuu ku sameeyey sidii uu nidarka ku galay; oo iyana nin ma ay aqoon. Oo reer binu Israa'iilna waxaa caado u ahaa,

40 T hat the daughters of Israel went yearly to mourn the daughter of Jephthah the Gileadite four days in a year.

inay gabdhaha reer binu Israa'iil sannad walba afar maalmood baxaan oo u baroortaan gabadhii Yeftaah kii reer Gilecaad.
