耶弗他曰、我暨我民、與亞捫族大戰、我曾招爾、爾不救我脫於其手、

耶弗大曰、我與我民、與亞捫族有釁、曾來招爾、爾不我救。

Jephthah answered,“ I and my people were engaged in a great struggle with the Ammonites, and although I called, you didn’t save me out of their hands.

Jephthah answered,“ I and my people were taking part in a great struggle. We were at war with the Ammonites. I asked you for help. But you didn’t come to save me from their power.

And Jephthah said to them,“ I and my people had a great dispute with the Ammonites, and when I called you, you did not save me from their hand.

Jephthah replied,“ I summoned you at the beginning of the dispute, but you refused to come! You failed to help us in our struggle against Ammon.

Then Jephthah said to them,“ My people and I had a bitter conflict with the Ammonites. So I called for you, but you didn’t deliver me from their power.

So Jephthah said to them,“ I and my people were in a major dispute with the sons of Ammon; and I did call you, but you did not save me from their hand.

And Jephthah said to them,“ My people and I were in a great struggle with the people of Ammon; and when I called you, you did not deliver me out of their hands.

And Jephthah said unto them, I and my people were at great strife with the children of Ammon; and when I called you, ye saved me not out of their hand.

Then Jephthah said to them,“ My people and I had a serious conflict with the Ammonites. So I called for you, but you didn’t deliver me from their power.

And Jephthah said unto them, I and my people were at great strife with the children of Ammon; and when I called you, ye delivered me not out of their hands.

Jephthah said to them,“ My people and I were entangled in controversy with the Ammonites. I asked for your help, but you did not deliver me from their power.

Jephthah said to them,“ I and my people were at great strife with the children of Ammon; and when I called you, you didn’t save me out of their hand.

耶弗他派遣使者去見亞捫人的王，說：“我跟你有甚麼關係呢？你竟到我這裡來攻打我的土地呢？”亞捫人的王對耶弗他的使者說：“因以色列人從埃及上來的時候，奪了我的土地，從亞嫩河到雅博河，直到約旦河；現在你要把它和和平平地交還。”耶弗他又再派使者去見亞捫人的王，對他說：“耶弗他這樣說：‘以色列人並沒有奪取過摩押地和亞捫人的土地。以色列人從埃及上來的時候，是走過曠野到紅海，到了加低斯；就派遣使者去見以東王，說：求你讓我們經過你的領土。以東王卻不答應；又派遣使者去見摩押王，摩押王也不肯；以色列人就住在加低斯。以後，他們走過曠野，繞過以東地和摩押地，到了摩押地的東邊，在亞嫩河那邊安營；他們並沒有進入摩押境內，因為亞嫩河是摩押的邊界。以色列人又派遣使者去見亞摩利人的王西宏，就是希實本王，對他說：求你讓我們經過你的領土，到我們自己的地方去。西宏卻不信任以色列人，不讓他們經過他的境界；西宏聚集了他所有的人民，在雅雜安營，與以色列人爭戰。耶和華以色列的神，把西宏和他所有的人民都交在以色列人手中，以色列人擊殺了他們，奪取了住在那地的亞摩利人的全地，佔領了亞摩利人四周的境界，從亞嫩河到雅博河，從曠野直到約旦河。現在耶和華以色列的神，已經把亞摩利人從他的子民以色列人面前趕走了，你竟要佔有這地嗎？你不是應佔有你的神基抹要你佔有的地嗎？我們不是應佔有耶和華我們的神，從我們面前趕走的人的一切地嗎？現在難道你比摩押王西撥的兒子巴勒還強嗎？他曾經與以色列人爭競嗎？或是與以色列人交戰過嗎？以色列人住在希實本和屬希實本的村鎮，亞羅珥和亞羅珥的村鎮，以及亞嫩河沿岸的一切城市，已經有三百年了；在這時期內，你們為甚麼沒有奪回這些地方呢？我沒有得罪你，你竟惡待我，攻打我；願審判者耶和華今日在以色列人和亞捫人中間，判斷是非。’”但亞捫人的王不聽從耶弗他差派人去對他所說的話。那時耶和華的靈臨到耶弗他身上，他就經過基列和瑪拿西，經過基列的米斯巴，又從基列的米斯巴去到亞捫人那裡。耶弗他向耶和華許願，說：“如果你真的把亞捫人交在我手裡，我從亞捫人那裡平平安安回來的時候，無論誰先從我的家門出來迎接我，他就必歸耶和華，我也必把他當作燔祭。”於是耶弗他去到亞捫人那裡攻打他們，耶和華把他們交在他手裡。於是他從亞羅珥開始擊殺他們，去到米匿，直到亞備勒．基拉明，共二十座城，是一場大擊殺；這樣，亞捫人就在以色列人面前被制伏了。
