Judges 11

KING JAMES BIBLE	Peshitta
1 Now Jephthah the Gileadite was a mighty man of valour, and he was the son of an harlot: and Gilead begat Jephthah.	1 ܘܢܦܬܚ ܓܠܥܕܝܐ ܓܢܒܪ ܗܘܐ ܚܝܠܗ ܘܗܘ ܒܪ ܐܢܬܬܐ ܗܘܐ ܙܢܝܬܐ ܘܐܘܠܕ ܓܠܥܕ ܠܢܦܬܚ
2 And 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.	2 ܘܝܠܕܬ ܐܢܬܬܗ ܕܓܠܥܕ ܠܗ ܒ̈ܢܝܐ ܘܪܒܘ ܒܢܝ̈ܗ ܕܐܢܬܬܐ ܘܛܪܕܘܗܝ ܠܢܦܬܚ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܐ ܢܐܪܬ ܒܝܬ ܐܒܘܢ ܡܛܠ ܕܒܪ ܐܢܬܬܐ ܗܘ ܐܚܪܬܐ
3 Then 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.	3 ܘܥܪܩ ܢܦܬܚ ܡܢ ܩܕܡ ܐ̈ܚܘܗܝ ܘܐܝܬܒ ܒܐܪܥܐ ܛܒܬܐ ܘܐܬܠܩܛܘ ܠܘܬ ܢܦܬܚ ܐܢܫ̈ܐ ܣܪ̈ܝܩܐ ܘܢܦܩܘ ܥܡܗ
4 And it came to pass in process of time, that the children of Ammon made war against Israel.	4 ܘܗܘܐ ܡܢ ܒܬܪ ܝܘܡ̈ܬܐ ܘܐܬܟܬܫܘ ܒܢ̈ܝ ܥܡܘܢ ܥܡ ܒܢ̈ܝ ܐܝܣܪܝܠ
5 And 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:	5 ܘܟܕ ܐܬܟܬܫܘ ܒܢ̈ܝ ܥܡܘܢ ܥܡ ܒܢ̈ܝ ܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܐܙܠܘ ܩܫܝ̈ܫܐ ܕܓܠܥܕ ܠܡܕܒܪܗ ܠܢܦܬܚ ܡܢ ܐܪܥܐ ܛܒܬܐ
6 And they said unto Jephthah, Come, and be our captain, that we may fight with the children of Ammon.	6 ܘܐܡܪܘ ܠܢܦܬܚ ܬܐ ܗܘܝ ܠܢ ܪܝܫܐ ܘܢܬܟܬܫ ܥܡ ܒܢ̈ܝ ܥܡܘܢ
7 And 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?	7 ܘܐܡܪ ܢܦܬܚ ܠܩܫܝ̈ܫܐ ܕܓܠܥܕ ܠܐ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܣܢܝܬܘܢܢܝ ܘܛܪܕܬܘܢܢܝ ܡܢ ܒܝܬ ܐܒܝ ܘܗܫܐ ܡܢܐ ܐܬܝܬܘܢ ܠܘܬܝ ܟܕ ܥܩܬ ܠܟܘܢ
8 And 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.	8 ܘܐܡܪܘ ܠܗ ܩܫܝܫ̈ܐ ܕܓܠܥܕ ܠܢܦܬܚ ܡܛܠ ܗܢܐ ܗܫܐ ܗܐ ܐܬܝܢ ܠܘܬܟ ܙܠ ܥܡܢ ܘܢܬܟܬܫ ܥܡ ܒ̈ܢܝ ܥܡܘܢ ܘܗܘܝ ܪܝܫܐ ܠܟܠ ܝܬܒ̈ܝ ܓܠܥܕ
9 And 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?	9 ܘܐܡܪ ܢܦܬܚ ܠܩ̈ܫܝܫܐ ܕܓܠܥܕ ܐܢ ܡܗܦܟܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܠܝ ܕܐܬܟܬܫ ܥܡ ܒ̈ܢܝ ܥܡܘܢ ܘܡܫܠܡ ܠܗܘܢ ܡܪܝܐ ܩܕܡܝ ܐܢܐ ܐܗܘܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܪܝܫܐ
10 And the elders of Gilead said unto Jephthah, The LORD be witness between us, if we do not so according to thy words.	10 ܘܐܡܪܘ ܠܗ ܩܫܝܫ̈ܐ ܕܓܠܥܕ ܡܪܝܐ ܢܗܘܐ ܫܡܘܥܐ ܒܝܢܬܢ ܐܠܐ ܐܝܟ ܡܠܬܟ ܗܟܢܐ ܢܥܒܕ
11 Then 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.	11 ܘܐܙܠ ܢܦܬܚ ܥܡ ܩܫܝ̈ܫܐ ܕܓܠܥܕ ܘܐܩܝܡܘܗܝ ܥܠܝܗܘܢ ܪܝܫܐ ܘܫܠܝܛܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܢܦܬܚ ܟܠܗܝܢ ܡ̈ܠܘܗܝ ܩܕܡ ܡܪܝܐ ܒܡܨܦܝܐ
12 And 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?	12 ܘܫܕܪ ܢܦܬܚ ܐܝ̈ܙܓܕܐ ܠܘܬ ܡܠܟܐ ܕܒܢ̈ܝ ܥܡܘܢ ܠܡܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܡܐ ܠܝ ܘܠܟ ܕܐܬܝܬ ܠܡܬܟܬܫܘ ܒܐܪܥܝ
13 And 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.	13 ܘܐܡܪ ܡܠܟܐ ܕܒܢܝ̈ ܥܡܘܢ ܠܐܝ̈ܙܓܕܘܗܝ ܕܢܦܬܚ ܡܛܠ ܕܢܣܒܘ ܗܘܘ ܒܢ̈ܝ ܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܐܪܥܝ ܟܕ ܣܠܩܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܡܢ ܐܪܥܐ ܕܡܨܪܝܢ ܡܢ ܐܪܢܘܢ ܘܥܕܡܐ ܠܐܒܩ ܘܥܕܡܐ ܠܝܘܪܕܢܢ ܗܫܐ ܦܢܐ ܐܢܝ̈ܢ ܠܝ ܒܫܠܡܐ
14 And Jephthah sent messengers again unto the king of the children of Ammon:	14 ܘܗܦܟ ܬܘܒ ܢܦܬܚ ܘܫܕܪ ܐܓܪܬܐ ܘܐܝ̈ܙܓܕܐ ܠܘܬ ܡܠܟܐ ܕܒܢ̈ܝ ܥܡܘܢ
15 And said unto him, Thus saith Jephthah, Israel took not away the land of Moab, nor the land of the children of Ammon:	15 ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܗܟܢܐ ܐܡܪ ܢܦܬܚ ܠܐ ܢܣܒ ܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܐܪܥܐ ܕܡܘܐܒ ܘܐܪܥܐ ܕܒܢ̈ܝ ܥܡܘܢ
16 But when Israel came up from Egypt, and walked through the wilderness unto the Red sea, and came to Kadesh;	16 ܡܛܠ ܕܟܕ ܣܠܩܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܡܢ ܡܨܪܝܢ ܗܠܟܘ ܗܘܘ ܒ̈ܢܝ ܐܝܣܪܐܝܠ ܒܡܕܒܪܐ ܥܕܡܐ ܠܝܡܐ ܕܣܘܦ ܘܡܛܝܘ ܠܪܩܡ
17 Then 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.	17 ܘܫܕܪ ܗܘܐ ܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܐܝ̈ܙܓܕܐ ܠܘܬ ܡܠܟܐ ܕܐܕܘܡ ܠܡܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܢܥܒܪ ܒܐܪܥܟ ܘܠܐ ܫܡܥ ܡܠܟܐ ܕܐܕܘܡ ܘܐܦ ܠܡܠܟܐ ܕܡܘܐܒ ܫܠܚ ܘܠܐ ܐܬܛܦܝܣ ܠܗ ܘܐܝܬܒ ܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܒܪܩܡ
18 Then 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.	18 ܘܗܠܟ ܒܡܕܒܪܐ ܘܐܬܟܪܟ ܐܪܥܐ ܕܐܕܘܡ ܘܐܪܥܐ ܕܡܘܐܒ ܘܫܪܘ ܒܥܒܪܐ ܕܐܪܢܘܢ ܘܠܐ ܥܠܘ ܒܬܚܘܡܐ ܕܡܘܐܒ ܡܛܘܠ ܕܐܪܢܘܢ ܬܚܘܡܐ ܗܘܐ ܕܡܘܐܒ
19 And 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.	19 ܘܫܕܪ ܗܘܐ ܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܐܝܙ̈ܓܕܐ ܠܘܬ ܣܝܚܘܢ ܡܠܟܐ ܕܐܡܘܪ̈ܝܐ ܘܡܠܟܐ ܕܚܫܒܘܢ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܢܥܒܪ ܒܐܪܥܟ ܥܕܡܐ ܠܐܪܥܝ
20 But Sihon trusted not Israel to pass through his coast: but Sihon gathered all his people together, and pitched in Jahaz, and fought against Israel.	20 ܘܠܐ ܗܝܡܢ ܣܝܚܘܢ ܠܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܕܢܥܒܪ ܒܬܚܘܡܗ ܘܟܢܫ ܣܝܚܘܢ ܠܟܠܗ ܥܡܗ ܘܫܪܘ ܒܝܗܨ ܘܐܬܟܬܫ ܥܡ ܐܝܣܪܝܠ
21 And 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.	21 ܘܐܫܠܡ ܡܪܝܐ ܐܠܗܢ ܠܣܝܚܘܢ ܘܠܟܠܗ ܥܡܗ ܒܐܝܕܐ ܕܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܘܐܘܒܕ ܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܐܪܥܐ ܕܐܡܘܪ̈ܝܐ
22 And they possessed all the coasts of the Amorites, from Arnon even unto Jabbok, and from the wilderness even unto Jordan.	22 ܘܐܝܪܬ ܟܠܗ ܬܚܘܡܗܘܢ ܡܢ ܐܪܢܘܢ ܘܥܕܡܐ ܠܐܒܩ ܘܡܢ ܡܕܒܪܐ ܘܥܕܡܐ ܠܝܘܪܕܢܢ
23 So now the LORD God of Israel hath dispossessed the Amorites from before his people Israel, and shouldest thou possess it?	23 ܘܗܫܐ ܡܪܝܐ ܐܠܗܐ ܐܘܒܕ ܠܐܡܘܪ̈ܝܐ ܡܢ ܩܕܡ ܥܡܗ ܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܘܐܢܬ ܝܪܬ ܐܢܬ ܠܗܘܢ
24 Wilt 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.	24 ܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܡܕܡ ܕܐܘܪܬܟ ܟܡܘܫ ܐܠܗܟ ܝܪܬ ܐܢܬ ܘܡܕܡ ܕܐܘܒܕ ܡܪܝܐ ܐܠܗܢ ܡܢ ܩܕܡܝܢ ܠܗ ܗܘ ܝܪܬܝܢ ܚܢܢ
25 And 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,	25 ܗܫܐ ܡܛܒ ܛܒ ܐܢܬ ܡܢ ܒܠܩ ܒܪ ܨܦܘܪ ܡܠܟܐ ܕܡܘܐܒ ܕܠܡܐ ܡܬܚܪܝܘ ܐܬܚܪܝ ܗܘܐ ܥܡ ܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܐܘ ܡܬܟܬܫܘ ܐܬܟܬܫ ܗܘܐ ܥܡܗܘܢ
26 While 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?	26 ܟܕ ܝܬܒ ܐܝܣܪܐܝܠ ܒܚܫܒܘܢ ܘܒܟܦܪ̈ܘܢܝܗ ܘܒܥܕܘܥܝܪ ܘܒܟܦܪ̈ܘܢܝܗ ܘܒܟܠܗܝܢ ܩܘܪ̈ܝܐ ܕܥܠ ܓܢܒ ܐܪܢܘܢ ܬܠܬܡܐܐ ܫܢܝ̈ܢ ܠܡܢܐ ܠܐ ܐܥܕܝܬܘܢ ܐ̈ܢܝܢ ܒܙܒܢܐ ܗܘ
27 Wherefore 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.	27 ܐܠܐ ܐܢܐ ܗܫܐ ܠܐ ܚܛܝܬ ܠܟ ܘܐܢܬ ܥܒܕ ܐܢܬ ܥܡܝ ܒܝܫܬܐ ܠܡܬܟܬܫܘ ܥܡܝ ܢܕܘܢ ܡܪܝܐ ܝܘܡܢܐ ܕܝܢܐ ܒܝܢܝ ܒܢ̈ܝ ܐܝܣܪܝܠ ܘܠܒܝܬ ܒܢ̈ܝ ܥܡܘܢ
28 Howbeit the king of the children of Ammon hearkened not unto the words of Jephthah which he sent him.	28 ܘܠܐ ܫܡܥ ܡܠܟܐ ܕܒܢ̈ܝ ܥܡܘܢ ܡ̈ܠܘܗܝ ܕܢܦܬܚ ܕܫܠܚ ܠܗ
29 Then 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.	29 ܘܗܘܬ ܥܠ ܢܦܬܚ ܪܘܚܗ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܘܥܒܪ ܠܓܠܥܕ ܘܠܡܢܫܐ ܘܥܒܪ ܠܡܨܦܝܐ ܕܓܠܥܕ ܘܡܢ ܡܨܦܝܐ ܕܓܠܥܕ ܥܒܪ ܠܒܢ̈ܝ ܥܡܘܢ
30 And Jephthah vowed a vow unto the LORD, and said, If thou shalt without fail deliver the children of Ammon into mine hands,	30 ܘܢܕܪ ܢܦܬܚ ܢܕܪܐ ܠܡܪܝܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܐܢ ܡܫܠܡܘ ܬܫܠܡ ܠܒܢ̈ܝ ܥܡܘܢ ܒܐ̈ܝܕܝ
31 Then 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.	31 ܡ̇ܢ ܕܢܦܩ ܡܢ ܬܪܥܐ ܕܒܝܬܝ ܠܐܘܪܥܝ ܡܐ ܕܐܬܝܬ ܒܫܠܡܐ ܡܢ ܒܢ̈ܝ ܥܡܘܢ ܢܗܘܐ ܠܡܪܝܐ ܘܐܣܩܝܘܗܝ ܠܥܠܬܐ
32 So Jephthah passed over unto the children of Ammon to fight against them; and the LORD delivered them into his hands.	32 ܘܥܒܪ ܢܦܬܚ ܥܠ ܒܢ̈ܝ ܥܡܘܢ ܠܡܬܟܬܫܘ ܥܡܗܘܢ ܘܐܫܠܡ ܐܢܘܢ ܡܪܝܐ ܒܐܝܕܗ
33 And 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.	33 ܘܡܚܐ ܐܢܘܢ ܡܢ ܥܕܘܥܝܪ ܘܥܕܡܐ ܠܡܥܠܢܐ ܕܡܟܝܪ ܥܣܪ̈ܝܢ ܩܘܪ̈ܝܐ ܘܥܕܡܐ ܠܐܒܠ ܟܪ̈ܡܝܢ ܡܚܘܬܐ ܪܒܬܐ ܕܛܒ ܘܐܬܬܒܪܘ ܒܢ̈ܝ ܥܡܘܢ ܩܕܡ ܒܢ̈ܝ ܐܝܣܪܝܠ
34 And 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.	34 ܘܐܬܐ ܢܦܬܚ ܠܡܨܦܝܐ ܠܒܝܬܗ ܘܗܐ ܒܪܬܗ ܢܦܩܬ ܠܐܘܪܥܗ ܒ̈ܦܠܓܐ ܘܒܪ̈ܒܝܥܐ ܘܗܝ ܝܚܝܕܝܬܐ ܗܘܬ ܠܗ ܘܠܝܬ ܗܘܐ ܠܗ ܒܪܐ ܐܘ ܒܪܬܐ ܠܒܪ ܡܢܗ̇
35 And 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.	35 ܘܟܕ ܚܙܗ̇ ܨܪܝ ܠܒܘܫ̈ܘܗܝ ܘܐܡܪ ܐܘܗ ܒܪܬܝ ܡܣܚܦ ܣܚܦܬܝܢܝ ܘܐܢܬ ܗܘܝܬܝ ܝܘܡܢܐ ܡܢ ܣܚ̈ܘܦܝ ܕܗܐ ܐܢܐ ܦܬܚܬ ܦܘܡܝ ܠܘܬ ܐܠܗܐ ܘܠܐ ܡܫܟܚ ܐܢܐ ܕܐܗܦܘܟ
36 And 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.	36 ܘܐܡܪܬ ܠܗ ܒܪܬܗ ܐܒܝ ܦܬܚܬ ܦܘܡܟ ܠܘܬ ܐܠܗܐ ܥܒܕ ܠܝ ܐܝܟ ܡܕܡ ܕܢܦܩ ܡܢ ܦܘܡܟ ܡܢ ܒܬܪ ܕܥܒܕ ܠܟ ܡܪܝܐ ܢܩܡܬܐ ܡܢ ܒ̈ܥܠܕܒܒܝܟ ܡܢ ܒܢ̈ܝ ܥܡܘܢ
37 And 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.	37 ܘܐܡܪܐ ܠܐܒܘܗ ܒܠܚܘܕ ܥܒܕ ܠܝ ܗܕܐ ܐܪܦܢܝ ܬܪ̈ܝܢ ܝܪ̈ܚܝܢ ܘܐܙܠ ܐܗܠܟ ܥܠ ܛܘܪ̈ܐ ܘܐܒܟܐ ܥܠ ܒܬܘܠܘܬܝ ܐܢܐ ܘܚܒܪ̈ܬܝ
38 And he said, Go. And he sent her away for two months: and she went with her companions, and bewailed her virginity upon the mountains.	38 ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗ̇ ܙܠ ܘܫܕܪܗ̇ ܬܪ̈ܝܢ ܝܪ̈ܚܝܢ ܘܐܙܠܬ ܗܝ ܘܚܒܪ̈ܬܗ̇ ܘܒܟܬ ܥܠ ܒܬܘܠܘܬܗ̇ ܥܠ ܛܘܪ̈ܐ
39 And 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,	39 ܘܡܢ ܒܬܪ ܬܪ̈ܝܢ ܝܪ̈ܚܝܢ ܐܬܬ ܠܘܬ ܐܒܘܗ ܘܥܒܕ ܠܗ̇ ܐܝܟ ܢܕܪܐ ܕܢܕܪ ܘܗܝ ܠܐ ܚܟܡܗ̇ ܓܒܪ ܘܗܘܬ ܠܗ ܐܬܐ ܒܝܢܝ ܒܢ̈ܝ ܐܝܣܪܝܠ
40 That the daughters of Israel went yearly to lament the daughter of Jephthah the Gileadite four days in a year.	40 ܘܡܢ ܥܕܢ ܠܥܕܢ ܐܙ̈ܠܢ ܗ̈ܘܝ ܒܢ̈ܬ ܐܝܣܪܐܝܠ ܘܒ̈ܟܝܢ ܘܐ̈ܠܝܢ ܥܠ ܒܪܬܗ ܕܢܦܬܚ ܓܠܥܕܝܐ ܐܪܒܥܐ ܝܘ̈ܡܝܢ ܒܫܢܬܐ
