¹Now Jephthah the Gileadite was a mighty man of valor, and he was the son of an harlot: and Gilead begat Jephthah.

¹A Jefta Gileádsky bol udatný muž a bol synom ženy smilnice, a Gileád splodil Jeftu.

²And Gilead's wife bare him sons; and his wife's sons grew up, and they thrust out Jephthah, and said unto him, Thou shalt not inherit in our father's house; for thou art the son of a strange woman.

²Ale aj žena Gileádova porodila Gileádovi synov. A keď dorástli synovia ženini, zahnali Jeftu a povedali mu: Nebudeš dediť v dome nášho otca, lebo si ty syn inej ženy.

³Then 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.

³Preto utiekol Jefta pred svojimi bratmi a býval v zemi Tóbe. A posberali sa k Jeftovi zaháľčiví mužovia a vychádzavali s ním.

⁴And it came to pass in process of time, that the children of Ammon made war against Israel.

⁴A stalo sa po čase, že synovia Ammonovi bojovali s Izraelom.

⁵And 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:

⁵A stalo sa, keď bojovali synovia Ammonovi s Izraelom, že prišli starší kraja Gileáda, aby doviedli Jeftu zo zeme Tóba.

⁶And they said unto Jephthah, Come, and be our captain, that we may fight with the children of Ammon.

⁶A riekli Jeftovi: Poď a budeš nám kniežaťom, a budeme bojovať proti synom Ammonovým.

⁷And Jephthah said unto the elders of Gilead, Did not ye hate me, and expel me out of my father's house? and why are ye come unto me now when ye are in distress?

⁷A Jefta povedal starším Gileáda: Či nie ste to vy, ktorí ste ma nenávideli a zahnali ste ma z domu môjho otca? A tedy prečo ste prišli ku mne teraz, keď vám je úzko?

⁸And the elders of Gilead said unto 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.

⁸Na to riekli starší Gileáda Jeftovi: Práve preto sme sa teraz vrátili k tebe, pojdeš s nami a budeš bojovať proti synom Ammonovým a budeš nám hlavou, všetkým obyvateľom Gileáda.

⁹And Jephthah said unto 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?

⁹Vtedy povedal Jefta starším Gileáda: Jestli ma vrátite, aby som bojoval proti synom Ammonovým, a Hospodin ich vydá predo mnou, či vám ja budem hlavou?

¹⁰And the elders of Gilead said unto Jephthah, The LORD be witness between us, if we do not so according to thy words.

¹⁰A starší Gileáda riekli Jeftovi: Hospodin bude svedkom medzi nami, jestli by sme neučinili tak, podľa tvojho slova.

¹¹Then 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.

¹¹Vtedy išiel Jefta so staršími Gileáda, a ľud ho učinil hlavou nad sebou a kniežaťom. A Jefta hovoril všetky svoje slová pred Hospodinom v Micpe.

¹²And Jephthah sent messengers unto the king of the children of Ammon, saying, What hast thou to do with me, that thou art come against me to fight in my land?

¹²Potom poslal Jefta poslov ku kráľovi synov Ammonových s odkazom: Čo ja mám s tebou, že si prišiel ku mne, aby si bojoval proti mojej zemi?

¹³And 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.

¹³A kráľ synov Ammonových povedal poslom Jeftovým: Lebo Izrael vzal moju zem, keď išiel hore z Egypta, od Arnona až po Jabok a až po Jordán, preto teraz vráť mi tie kraje v pokoji.

¹⁴And Jephthah sent messengers again unto the king of the children of Ammon:

¹⁴A Jefta poslal znova poslov ku kráľovi synov Ammonových

¹⁵And said unto him, Thus saith Jephthah, Israel took not away the land of Moab, nor the land of the children of Ammon:

¹⁵a riekol mu: Takto hovorí Jefta: Izrael nevzal zeme Moábovej ani zeme synov Ammonových.

¹⁶But when Israel came up from Egypt, and walked through the wilderness unto the Red sea, and came to Kadesh;

¹⁶Ale keď išli hore z Egypta, išiel Izrael púšťou až k Rudému moru a prišiel do Kádeša.

¹⁷Then Israel sent messengers unto the king of Edom, saying, Let me, I pray thee, pass through thy 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.

¹⁷Odtiaľ poslal Izrael poslov ku kráľovi Edoma a povedal mu: Dovoľ mi, prosím, žeby som prešiel cez tvoju zem: Ale kráľ Edoma nechcel počuť. A poslal i ku kráľovi Moábovmu. Ale nechcel ani ten. A tak zostal Izrael v Kádeši.

¹⁸Then 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.

¹⁸Potom išiel púšťou. A keď obišiel zem Edomovu i zem Moábovu, prišiel od východu slnca k zemi Moábovej a táborili za Arnonom a nevošli na územie Moábovo, lebo Arnon bol hranicou Moábovou.

¹⁹And Israel sent messengers unto Sihon king of the Amorites, the king of Heshbon; and Israel said unto him, Let us pass, we pray thee, through thy land into my place.

¹⁹A Izrael poslal poslov k Síchonovi, kráľovi, Amoreja, ku kráľovi Chešbona, a Izrael mu riekol: Nech prejdeme, prosím, cez tvoju zem až na svoje miesto!

²⁰But Sihon trusted not Israel to pass through his coast: but Sihon gathered all his people together, and pitched in Jahaz, and fought against Israel.

²⁰Lež Síchon neveril Izraelovi, aby bol dovolil prejsť cez svoje územie. Ale Síchon shromaždil všetok svoj ľud, a položili sa táborom v Johse, a bojoval s Izraelom.

²¹And 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.

²¹Avšak Hospodin, Bôh Izraelov, dal Síchona i všetok jeho ľud do ruky Izraelovej, a porazili ich, a Izrael zaujal celú zem Amoreja do dedičstva, obyvateľa tej zeme.

²²And they possessed all the coasts of the Amorites, from Arnon even unto Jabbok, and from the wilderness even unto Jordan.

²²A tak zaujali celé územie Amoreja od Arnona až po Jabok do dedičstva a od púšte až po Jordán.

²³So now the LORD God of Israel hath dispossessed the Amorites from before his people Israel, and shouldest thou possess it?

²³Nuž tak teraz Hospodin, Bôh Izraelov, vyhnal Amoreja zpred tvári svojho ľudu Izraela, a ty tedy chceš zaujať jeho zem do dedičstva?

²⁴Wilt not thou possess that which Chemosh thy god giveth thee to possess? So whomsoever the LORD our God shall drive out from before us, them will we possess.

²⁴Či azda nie je tak, že národ, ktorý ti dá vyhnať Kámoš, tvoj boh, toho zem zaujmeš do dedičstva, a ktorýkoľvek národ vyženie Hospodin, náš Bôh, zpred našej tvári, toho zem zaujmeme my do dedičstva?

²⁵And 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,

²⁵A teraz čože? Či si ty ozaj lepší ako bol Balák, syn Cipporov, kráľ Moába? Či sa azda pravotil s Izraelom? A či snáď bojoval kedy proti nim, proti Izraelovi?

²⁶While 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 ye not recover them within that time?

²⁶Kým doteraz býval Izrael v Chešbone a v jeho mestečkách, v Aroere a v jeho mestečkách a vo všetkých mestách, ktoré sú popri Arnone, toto už tristo rokov, nuž prečože ste ich nevytrhli v tom čase?

²⁷Wherefore 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.

²⁷Ani ja som sa neprehrešil proti tebe, ale ty mi robíš zlé chcúc bojovať proti mne. Nech súdi Hospodin sudca dnes medzi synmi Izraelovými a medzi synmi Ammonovými!

²⁸Howbeit the king of the children of Ammon hearkened not unto the words of Jephthah which he sent him.

²⁸Ale nepočul kráľ synov Ammonových na slová Jeftu, ktoré poslal k nemu.

²⁹Then 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.

²⁹Vtedy sostúpil Duch Hospodinov na Jeftu, a prešiel Gileádom a Manassesom a prešiel cez Micpu v Gileáde a z Micpy v Gileáde prešiel k synom Ammonovým.

³⁰And Jephthah vowed a vow unto the LORD, and said, If thou shalt without fail deliver the children of Ammon into mine hands,

³⁰A Jefta sľúbil Hospodinovi sľub a povedal: Ak istotne dáš synov Ammonových do mojej ruky,

³¹Then it shall be, that whatsoever cometh forth 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.

³¹vtedy bude, že to, čo vyjde zo dverí môjho domu oproti mne, keď sa navrátim v pokoji od synov Ammonových, bude Hospodinovo, a budem to obetovať zápalnou obeťou.

³²So Jephthah passed over unto the children of Ammon to fight against them; and the LORD delivered them into his hands.

³²A tak prešiel Jefta k synom Ammonovým, aby bojoval proti nim, a Hospodin ich dal do jeho ruky.

³³And he smote them from Aroer, even till thou 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.

³³A zbil ich od Aroera až potiaľ, ako ideš do Minníta, dvadsať miest, a až po Ábel-vinice porážkou, veľmi velikou, a tak boli zohnutí synovia Ammonovi pred synmi Izraelovými.

³⁴And 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.

³⁴A keď prišiel Jefta do Micpy vracajúc sa do svojho domu, hľa, jeho dcéra mu išla von oproti s bubny a kolotancami, a bola len ona jediná; nemal krome nej ani syna ani dcéry.

³⁵And it came to pass, when he saw her, that he rent 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 unto the LORD, and I cannot go back.

³⁵A stalo sa, keď ju uvidel, že roztrhnul svoje rúcha a povedal: Ach, moja dcéra, veľmi si ma zohla a si jednou z tých, ktorí mi pôsobia trápenie, a ja, pretože som otvoril svoje ústa sľúbiac Hospodinovi sľub, nebudem môcť odvolať.

³⁶And she said unto him, My father, if thou hast opened thy mouth unto 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 thine enemies, even of the children of Ammon.

³⁶A ona mu riekla: Môj otče, otvoril si svoje ústa sľúbiac Hospodinovi sľub, nuž učiň mi podľa toho, čo vyšlo z tvojich úst, keďže ti dal Hospodin, aby si sa pomstil na svojich nepriateľoch, na synoch Ammonových.

³⁷And 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 bewail my virginity, I and my fellows.

³⁷A ešte povedala svojmu otcovi: Dovoľ, nech sa mi učiní táto vec. Nechaj ma dva mesiace, aby som odišla a sišla na vrchy a plakala nad svojím panenstvom, ja i moje priateľky.

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

³⁸A riekol: Iď. A poslal ju na dva mesiace. A tedy odišla ona i jej priateľky a plakala nad svojím panenstvom na vrchoch.

³⁹And 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,

³⁹A stalo sa po dvoch mesiacoch, že sa navrátila ku svojmu otcovi, ktorý vykonal pri nej svoj sľub, ktorý sľúbil. A ona nepoznala muža. A stalo sa to pevnou obyčajou v Izraelovi,

⁴⁰That the daughters of Israel went yearly to lament the daughter of Jephthah the Gileadite four days in a year.

⁴⁰že z roka na rok chodievajú dcéry Izraelove, aby spievaly dcére Jeftu Gileádskeho štyri dni v roku.
