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

¹Haddaba Yeftaah oo reer Gilecaad ahaa wuxuu ahaa nin xoog leh, oo wuxuuna ahaa dhillo wiilkeed. Yeftaahna waxaa dhalay Gilecaad.

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.

²Oo 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.

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.

³Markaasuu Yeftaah walaalihiis ka cararay, oo wuxuu degay dalkii Toob: markaasaa waxaa isku soo ururay ciyaalasuuq, oo iyana waxay raaceen Yeftaah.

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

⁴Oo intii wakhti ah dabadeed ayay reer Cammoon la dirireen reer binu Israa'iil.

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:

⁵Oo markii reer Cammoon ay la dirireen reer binu Israa'iil ayaa odayaashii reer Gilecaad Yeftaah ka dooneen dalkii Toob;

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

⁶oo waxay Yeftaah ku yidhaahdeen, Kaalay oo madax noo noqo, aynu reer Cammoon la dirirnee.

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?

⁷Markaasuu 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?

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.

⁸Oo 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.

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?

⁹Markaasuu 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?

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

¹⁰Oo odayaashii reer Gilecaadna waxay Yeftaah ku yidhaahdeen, Taas Rabbigu ha ka noqdo marag inoo dhexaya; oo hubaal waxaannu yeelaynaa siduu eraygaagu yahay.

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.

¹¹Markaasuu 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.

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?

¹²Markaasuu 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?

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.

¹³Markaasuu 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.

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

¹⁴Oo Yeftaah haddana wargeeyayaal buu u diray boqorkii reer Cammoon;

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

¹⁵oo wuxuu ku yidhi, Yeftaah wuxuu leeyahay, Reer binu Israa'iil ma dhicin dalkii reer Moo'aab iyo dalkii reer Cammoon toona:

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

¹⁶laakiinse markii ay ka yimaadeen Masar, reer binu Israa'iil waxay soo mareen cidlada ilaa xagga Badda Cas, oo dabadeedna waxay yimaadeen Qaadeesh;

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.

¹⁷markaasaa 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.

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.

¹⁸Markaasay 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.

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.

¹⁹Markaasay 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.

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.

²⁰Laakiinse 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.

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.

²¹Markaasuu 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.

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

²²Oo waxay hantiyeen dalkii reer Amor oo dhan tan iyo Arnoon iyo ilaa Yabboq, iyo tan iyo cidlada iyo ilaa Webi Urdun.

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

²³Haddaba haatan inta Rabbiga ah Ilaaha reer binu Israa'iil reer Amor dalka kaga qaaday dadkiisa reer binu Israa'iil hortooda, miyaad adigu qabsanaysaa iyaga?

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.

²⁴Sow lahaan maysid wuxuu ilaahaaga Kemoosh ahu ku siiyo inaad lahaatid? Taas aawadeed kuwa Rabbiga Ilaahayaga ahu hortayada ka eryo waannu qabsan doonnaa.

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,

²⁵Haddaba 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?

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?

²⁶Oo 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?

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.

²⁷Sidaas 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.

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

²⁸Habase yeeshee, boqorkii reer Cammoon ma uu dhegaysan erayadii Yeftaah u soo diray.

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.

²⁹Markaasaa 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.

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

³⁰Markaasaa Yeftaah wuxuu Rabbiga u nidray nidar, oo wuxuu yidhi, Hubaal haddaad reer Cammoon gacantayda soo geliso,

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.

³¹markaasaa 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.

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

³²Markaasuu Yeftaah u gudbay xagga reer Cammoon inuu la dagaallamo, oo Rabbiguna gacantiisuu soo geliyey.

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.

³³Oo 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.

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.

³⁴Markaasuu 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.

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.

³⁵Oo 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.

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.

³⁶Oo 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.

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.

³⁷Oo 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.

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.

³⁸Markaasuu yidhi, Tag. Oo intii laba bilood ah ayuu iska diray; oo iyadii iyo saaxiibadaheedba way tageen, oo bikradnimadeedii ayay buuraha ugu soo baroorteen.

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,

³⁹Oo 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,inay gabdhaha reer binu Israa'iil sannad walba afar maalmood baxaan oo u baroortaan gabadhii Yeftaah kii reer Gilecaad.

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

⁴⁰inay gabdhaha reer binu Israa'iil sannad walba afar maalmood baxaan oo u baroortaan gabadhii Yeftaah kii reer Gilecaad.
