1 Jeftha ja-Gilead ne jalweny mager. Wuon mare ne en Gilead, to min mare ne en ochot. 2 Chi Gilead mahie bende nonywolone yawuowi, kendo kane gisebedo madongo, ne giriembo Jeftha. Negiwachone niya, “Ok iniyud girkeni moro amora e dalawa ka, nikech in wuod dhako machielo.” 3 Omiyo Jeftha noringo moa ir owetene kendo nodhi odak e piny Tob, kama jodwar mangʼeny nochokore bute mi giluwe.
4 Bangʼe, ka jo-Amon nochako lweny gi jo-Israel, 5 jodong Gilead nodhi mondo ogol Jeftha e piny Tob. 6 Negiwachone niya, “Bi mondo ibed jatendwa mar lweny, mondo mi waked gi jo-Amon.”
7 Jeftha nowachonegi niya, “Donge ne ok udwara mi uriembo e od wuora? En angʼo momiyo koro ubiro ira, ka un e thagruok?”
8 Jodong Gilead nodwoke niya, “Kata kamano, wabiro iri koro; bi kodwa mondo waked gi jo-Amon, kendo inibed jatendwa kaachiel gi jogo duto modak Gilead.”
9 Jeftha nodwoko niya, “Ka dipo ni udwoka mondo aked gi jo-Amon kendo Jehova Nyasaye omiyagi; bende anabed jatendu adier?”
10 Jodong Gilead nodwoko niya, “Jehova Nyasaye obed janeno marwa; adier wabiro timo kaka iwachono.” 11 Omiyo Jeftha nodhi gi jodong Gilead, kendo ji nokete obedo jatelo kendo jatend lweny. Kendo nonwoyo wechegi duto e nyim Jehova Nyasaye kama iluongo ni Mizpa.
12 Bangʼe Jeftha nooro joote ir ruodh jo-Amon kapenje niya, “En angʼo milaro kodwa, momiyo idwaro kedo kodwa?”
13 Ruodh jo-Amon nodwoko joote Jeftha niya, “Kane jo-Israel owuok Misri, negikawo pinya chakre aora Arnon nyaka aora Jabok mi gichopo nyaka aora Jordan, koro duognago gi kwe.”
14 Jeftha nooro joote mondo odog ir ruodh jo-Amon, 15 kawacho niya,
“Ma e gima Jeftha wacho: Jo-Israel ne ok okawo piny jo-Moab kata piny jo-Amon. 16 To kane gia Misri, jo-Israel noluwo thim nyaka Nam Makwar kendo ma gichopo Kadesh. 17 Eka jo-Israel nooro joote ir ruodh jo-Edom, kawacho niya, ‘Miya thuolo mondo wakal e pinyu,’ to ruodh Edom ne ok nyal winjogi. Nochako ooro joote ir ruodh Moab, to en bende nodagi. Kuom mano jo-Israel nodak Kadesh.
18 “Bangʼe negiwuotho e thim, ka ginono pinje mag Edom gi Moab, ka gikalo yo wuok chiengʼ mar piny Moab mine gidhi gibworo e bath aora Arnon. Ne ok gidonjo e alap mar jo-Moab, nimar Arnon ema tongʼ mare.
19 “Bangʼe Jakobo nooro joote ir Sihon ruodh jo-Amor mane ruoth Heshbon, kendo mi nowachone ni, ‘Yie iwewa wakalie pinyu wadhi e karwa owuon.’ 20 Kata kamano, Sihon ne ok nigi adiera gi jo-Israel mondo gikal e pinye. Nochoko joge duto kendo mi gichokore Jahaz mondo giked gi jo-Israel.
21 “Eka Jehova Nyasaye, ma Nyasach Israel, nochiwo Sihon kod joge duto e lwet jo-Israel, kendo negiloyogi. Jo-Israel nokawo puothe jo-Amor mane odak e pinyno, 22 ka gikawe duto chakre e aora Arnon nyaka e aora Jabok kendo koa e thim nyaka e aora Jordan.
23 “Ka koro Jehova Nyasaye, ma Nyasach Israel, oseriembo jo-Amor e nyim joge Israel, en thuolo mane ma in-go mar kawe? 24 Donge ubiro mana kawo gima Kemosh ma nyasachu omiyou? Kamano bende, gimoro amora ma Jehova Nyasaye ma Nyasachwa omiyowa, wabiro kawo. 25 Iparo ni ilich maloyo Balak wuod Zipor, ma ruodh Moab? Bende nodhawo gi Israel kata kedo kodgi? 26 Kuom higni mia adek Israel nodak Heshbon, gi Aroer, gi alwora mar kuondego kod mier duto mokiewo gi aora Arnon. En angʼo ma nomonou kawogi e hignigo? 27 Wan pok wakethonu, to un koro utimonwa marach kuom kedo kodwa. Mad uwe Jehova Nyasaye, ma jangʼad bura ongʼad burano odiechiengʼ ma kawuononi e kind jo-Israel gi jo-Amon.”
28 Kata kamano, ruodh jo-Amon ne ok odewo ote mane joote Jeftha okelone.
29 Eka Roho mar Jehova Nyasaye nobiro kuom Jeftha. Noluwo piny Gilead gi Manase, kokalo Mizpa mar Gilead, kendo koa kanyo nodhi momonjo jo-Amon. 30 Kendo Jeftha nokwongʼore ne Jehova Nyasaye niya, “Ka inichiw jo-Amon e lweta, 31 to ngʼato angʼata mani wuog e dalana mondo orom koda bangʼ ka aseloyo jo-Amon nobed mar Jehova Nyasaye, kendo anachiwe kaka misango miwangʼo pep.”
32 Eka Jeftha nowuok mondo odhi oked gi jo-Amon, kendo Jehova Nyasaye nochiwogi e lwete. 33 Noketho mier piero ariyo kochakore e aora Aroer nyaka Minith, mochopo nyaka Abel Keramim. Mano e kaka jo-Israel nokawo Amon.
34 Kane Jeftha odwogo dalane man Mizpa, noneno mana nyare kamiel kabiro romone! Ne en gi nyako achiel kende maonge wuowi kata nyako moro machielo. 35 Kane onene, noyiecho lepe mi oywak niya, “Yaye Nyara! Isemiya abedo modhier kendo gi thagruok, nikech ne asesingora ne Jehova Nyasaye ma ok anyal ketho.”
36 Nodwoko niya, “Wuonwa, isechiwo wachni ne Jehova Nyasaye. Timna mana kaka ne isesingori, nikech Jehova Nyasaye koro oseresi e lwet wasiki, ma jo-Amon.” 37 Nomedo wachone niya, “To yie itimna kwayo achiel kende. Miya dweche ariyo mondo aba ewi gode kendo aywagi gi osiepena, nikech ok bi kenda.”
38 Nowachone niya, “Inyalo dhi.” Eka noweye modhi kuom dweche ariyo. En kaachiel gi nyiri mamoko nodhi ewi gode kendo ne giywak nikech ok bi kende. 39 Bangʼ dweche ariyo, nodok ir wuon mare kendo wuon-gi notimo mana kaka nosesingore. Ne en nyako ngili.
Kochakore e ndalono, jo-Israel noketo chik ni 40 higa ka higa mon matindo mag Israel nyaka dhi e got kuom ndalo angʼwen mondo otim rapar mar nyar Jeftha ma ja-Gilead.
