Nɛ Yefta tĩ munyuhi tsuo nɛ e tu ɔ mi ngɛ Yehowa hɛ mi ngɛ Mizpa.*

12 Lɔ ɔ se ɔ, Yefta tsɔ tsɔli kɛ ya Amon bi ɔmɛ a matsɛ ɔ ngɔ, nɛ a ya bi lɛ ke: “Mɛni sane i kɛ mo ngɛ loko o ba tua ye zugba a?” 13 Nɛ Amon bi ɔmɛ a matsɛ ɔ de Yefta tsɔli ɔmɛ ke: “Nɔ́ he je ji kaa benɛ Israel je* Egipt kɛ ba a, a ba ngɔ ye zugba a, kɛ je Arnon kɛ ya si Yabok hluu kɛ ya si Yordan Pa a he.

“Nɔ́ nɛ Yefta ngɛ dee ji nɛ ɔ nɛ: ‘Israel ngɔɛ Moab bi ɔmɛ a zugba kɛ Amon bi ɔmɛ a zugba, 16 ejakaa benɛ a je Egipt kɛ ma a, Israel nyɛɛ nga a nɔ hluu kɛ ya su Wo Tsu ɔ he, nɛ a ba Kadesh. 17 Lɔ ɔ se ɔ, Israel tsɔ tsɔli kɛ ya Edom matsɛ ɔ ngɔ, nɛ a ya de lɛ ke: “Wa kpa mo pɛɛ, ha nɛ waa gu o zugba a nɔ kɛ be,” se Edom matsɛ ɔ bui tue. A tsɔ nɛ a ngɔ sɛ gbi kɛ ya ha Moab matsɛ ɔ hulɔ, se e kplɛɛ we. Lɔ ɔ he ɔ, Israel ya nɔ nɛ e hi Kadesh. 18 Benɛ a nyɛɛ nga a nɔ ɔ, a lɔgɔ Edom zugba a kɛ Moab zugba a. A ya gu Moab zugba a puje he blɔ, nɛ a ba to si ngɛ Arnon kpokpa a nɔ; a sɛ we Moab zugba a mi, ejakaa Arnon ji Moab huzu.

19 “‘Lɔ ɔ se ɔ, Israel tsɔ tsɔli kɛ ya Sihon nɛ ji Amor bi ɔmɛ a matsɛ nɛ e hi Heshbon kɛ ye nɔ ɔ ngɔ, nɛ Israel ya de lɛ ke: “Wa kpa mo pɛɛ, ha nɛ waa gu o zugba a nɔ kɛ be kɛ ho wɔ nitsɛmɛ wa nɔ́ mi ya.” 20 Se Sihon he we Israel yi nɛ e ha we nɛ e po mi kɛ gu e zugba kpɔ ɔ mi, enɛ ɔ he ɔ, Sihon bua e we bi ɔmɛ tsuo a nya nɛ a ya to si ngɛ Yahaz, nɛ e kɛ Israel hwu ta. 21 Nɛ Yehowa, Israel Mawu ɔ ngɔ Sihon kɛ e we bi ɔmɛ tsuo kɛ wo Israel dɛ mi nɛ a ye a nɔ kunimi, nɛ Israel ngɔ Amor bi ɔmɛ nɛ a ngɛ jamɛ a zugba a nɔ ɔ a zugba a tsuo. 22 Lɔ ɔ he ɔ, a ngɔ Amor bi ɔmɛ a zugba a tsuo, kɛ je Arnon kɛ ya si Yabok, nɛ a ngɔ kɛ je nga a nɔ kɛ ya si Yordan Pa a he hulɔ.

23 “‘Yehowa, Israel Mawu ɔ ji nɔ nɛ fiee Amor bi ɔmɛ kɛ je e we bi nɛ ji Israel bi ɔmɛ a hɛ mi, nɛ amlɔ nɛ ɔ, anɛ o maa fiee mɛ kɛ je nɔ lo? 24 Anɛ nɔ́ fɛɛ nɔ́ nɛ nyɛ mawu Kemosh ha nyɛ ke nyɛɛ ngɔ ɔ, nyɛ ngɔɛ lo?

28 Se Amon bi ɔmɛ a matsɛ ɔ bui sɛ gbi nɛ Yefta kɛ mane lɛ ɔ fɛɛ.

29 Yehowa mumi ɔ ba Yefta nɔ, nɛ e ya gu Gilead kɛ Manase kɛ ho Mizpa nɛ ngɛ Gilead ɔ ya, nɛ e je Mizpa nɛ ngɛ Gilead ɔ nɛ e tsa nɔ kɛ ho Amon bi ɔmɛ a ngɔ ya.

30 Kɛkɛ nɛ Yefta kã Yehowa kita nɛ e de ke: “Ke o ngɔ Amon bi ɔmɛ kɛ wo ye dɛ mi, 31 nɛ i kpale kɛ je Amon bi ɔmɛ a ngɔ kɛ ba ngɛ tue mi jɔmi mi ɔ, lɛɛ nɔ fɛɛ nɔ nɛ maa gu ye we ɔ sinya a mi kɛ je kpo nɛ e kɛ mi ma ba kpe ɔ maa pee Yehowa nɔ́, nɛ ma ngɔ jamɛ a nɔ ɔ kɛ ha kaa sami afɔle.”

32 Enɛ ɔ he ɔ, Yefta kɛ Amon bi ɔmɛ ya hwu ta, nɛ Yehowa ngɔ mɛ kɛ wo e dɛ mi. 33 E gbe nihi babauu nitsɛ kɛ pue si kɛ je Aroer hluu kɛ ya si Minit. E ye mahi 20 a nɔ kunimi, e ye a nɔ kunimi hluu kɛ ya si Abel Keramim. Enɛ ɔ he ɔ, a ba Amon bi ɔmɛ si ngɛ Israel bi ɔmɛ a hɛ mi.

34 Nyagbenyagbe ɔ, Yefta ba e we ɔ mi ngɛ Mizpa, nɛ hyɛ! e biyo ɔ je kpo kɛ ma konɛ e kɛ lɛ nɛ ba kpe, e ngɛ akasawa fiae nɛ e ngɛ doe! Lɛ nɔ kake too pɛ ji e bi.

36 Se e de lɛ ke: “Ye tsɛ, ke o kã Yehowa kita a, lɛɛ nɔ́ nɛ o kɛ o nya de ke o maa pee mi ɔ, moo pee, ejakaa Yehowa ye o he lue ngɛ o he nyɛli nɛ ji Amon bi ɔmɛ a nɔ.” 37 Lɔ ɔ se ɔ, e de e tsɛ ɔ ke: “Moo pee nɔ́ nɛ ɔ ha mi: Ngmɛɛ mi blɔ nyɔhiɔ enyɔ, nɛ́ o ha nɛ ma ya yoku ɔmɛ a nɔ, nɛ i kɛ ye huɛmɛ yi ɔmɛ nɛ ya fo yomiyo nɛ i ji ɔ he ya.”*
