Abantwana bakwa-Amoni bawela iJordani ukuba balwe noJuda noBenjamini nendlu yakwa-Efrayimi; u-Israyeli wantula kakhulu.

UJehova wathi kubantwana bakwa -Israyeli: Anginisindisanga yini kubo abaseGibithe, nakuwo ama-Amori, nakubo abantwana bakwa-Amoni, nakuwo amaFilisti, na?

Kwabuthwa aba ntwana bakwa -Amoni, bamisa kwaGileyadi . Kepha abantwana bakwa-Israyeli babuthana, bamisa eMispa.

Kwathi emva kwesikhashana abantwana bakwa-Amoni balwa no-Israyeli.

Bathi abantwana bakwa-Amoni belwa no-Israyeli, amalunga akwaGileyadi aya amlanda uJefta ezweni laseThobi.

Athi kuJefta: Woza ube ngumholi wethu, silwe nabantwana bakwa-Amoni.

UJefta wathuma izithunywa enkosini yabantwana bakwa -Amoni, wathi: Unamsebenzi muni nami ukuba uze kimi ukulwa nezwe lakithi na?

Inkosi yabantwana bakwa -Amoni yath i kuzo izithunywa zikaJefta : Ngokuba u-Israyeli walithatha izwe lakithi ekukhuphukeni kwakhe eGibithe , kusukela e -Arinoni kuze kube seJaboki naseJordani , buyisani lawo mazwe ngokuthula.

Mina angikonanga, kepha wena wenza okubi kimi ngokulwa nami; uJehova uMahluleli makahlulele namuhla phakathi kwabantwana bakwa -Israyeli nabantwana bakwa-Amoni.

Kodwa ink osi yabantwana bakwa -Amoni ayilalelanga amazwi kaJefta awathuma kuyo.

Khona uMoya kaJehova wafika kuJefta , wadlula kwaGileyadi nakwaManase, wadlula naseMispa lakwaGileyadi ; esuka eMispa lakwaGileyadi wadlulela kubantwana bakwa-Amoni.

UJefta wenza isith embiso kuJehova , wathi: Uma uyakunikela impela abantwana bakwa-Amoni esandleni sami,

Wababulala kusukela e -Aroweri kuze kufike eMiniti , imizi engamashumi amabili, nase-Abela Keramimi ngokuceka okukhulu kakhulu . Kanjalo abantwana bakwa-Amoni banqotshwa phambi kwabantwana bakwa-Israyeli. Indodakazi kaJefta

Wathi kuye : Baba, uvulile umlomo wakho kuJehova ; yenza kimi njengokuphumileyo emlonyeni wakho, lokhu uJehova ekuphindisele ezitheni zakho, abantwana bakwa-Amoni.

Amadoda akwa -Efrayimi abuthana , aya ngasenyakatho ; athi kuJefta : Uwelelani ukulwa nabantwana bakwa-Amoni, ungasibizanga ukuba sihambe nawe, na? Siyakushisa ngomlilo indlu yakho phezu kwakho.

UJefta wathi kubo: Mina nabantu bami sasilwa kakhulu nabantwana bakwa- Amoni; nganibiza, aningisindisanga esandleni sabo.

Nxa sengibonile ukuthi aningisindisanga, ngabeka ukuphila kwami esandleni sami , ngadlulela kubantwana bakwa -Amoni, uJehova wabanikela esandleni sami; ngalokho nikhuphukeleni kimi namuhla ukulwa nami na?

Kwenyuka uNahashi wakwa-Amoni, wamisa eJabeshi Gileyadi ; bonke abantu baseJabeshi bathi kuNahashi : Yenza isivumelwano nathi , siyakukukhonza.

UNahashi wakwa -Amoni wathi kubo : Ngiyakusenza nani ngalokhu ukuba kukhishwe onke amehlo enu okunene, ngikubeke kube yihlazo kuye wonke u- Israyeli.
