Jephthah said,“ Suppose you take me back to fight against the Ammonites. And suppose the Lord gives me victory over them. Then will I really be your leader?”

耶弗他对基列的长老说：“你们叫我回去，与亚扪人争战，耶和华把他交给我，我可以作你们的领袖吗？”

耶弗他对基列的长老说：“若你们请我回去跟亚扪人打仗，耶和华把他们交给我，我就作你们的领袖。”

耶弗他对基列的长老说：“若你们请我回去跟亚扪人打仗，耶和华把他们交给我，我就作你们的领袖。”

耶弗他说：“如果我跟你们回去与亚扪人作战，耶和华让我打败他们，我就真的可以做你们的首领吗？”

耶弗他对基列的长老说：“如果你们带我回去，攻打亚扪人，耶和华把他们交在我面前，那么我就可以作你们的首领吗？”

耶弗他對基列的長老說：「你們叫我回去，與亞捫人爭戰，耶和華把他交給我，我可以作你們的領袖嗎？」

耶弗他對基列的長老說：「若你們請我回去跟亞捫人打仗，耶和華把他們交給我，我就作你們的領袖。」

耶弗他對基列的長老說：「若你們請我回去跟亞捫人打仗，耶和華把他們交給我，我就作你們的領袖。」

耶弗他說：「如果我跟你們回去與亞捫人作戰，耶和華讓我打敗他們，我就真的可以做你們的首領嗎？」

耶弗他對基列的長老說：“如果你們帶我回去，攻打亞捫人，耶和華把他們交在我面前，那麼我就可以作你們的首領嗎？”

耶弗他對基列的長老說：『你們如果叫我回去、和亞捫人交戰，而永恆主又把他們交在我面前，那麼我就要做你們的首領了。』

耶弗他曰、爾若導我歸、與亞捫人戰、而耶和華付之於我手、我則為爾長乎、

耶弗大曰、如爾導我旋歸、使攻亞捫族、而耶和華以之付於我手、則爾其以為我長乎。

耶弗他謂基列長老曰、爾招我歸、以攻亞捫人、如主使亞捫人敗於我前、則我果為爾之首乎、或作則我必為爾之首矣

Jephthah answered,“ Suppose you take me back to fight the Ammonites and the Lord gives them to me— will I really be your head?”

Jephthah said to the elders of Gilead,“ If you bring me home again to fight against the Ammonites, and the Lord gives them over to me, I will be your head.”

Jephthah said to the elders,“ Let me get this straight. If I come with you and if the Lord gives me victory over the Ammonites, will you really make me ruler over all the people?”

So Jephthah said to them,“ If you are bringing me back to fight the Ammonites and the LORD gives them to me, I will be your leader.”

So Jephthah said to the elders of Gilead,“ If you bring me back to fight against the sons of Ammon and the Lord gives them up to me, will I become your head?”

So Jephthah said to the elders of Gilead,“ If you take me back home to fight against the people of Ammon, and the Lord delivers them to me, shall I be your head?”

And Jephthah said unto the elders of Gilead, If ye bring me home again to fight with the children of Ammon, and Jehovah deliver them before me, shall I be your head?

So Jephthah said to them,“ If you are bringing me back to fight the Ammonites and the Lord gives them to me, I will be your leader.”

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?

Jephthah said to the leaders of Gilead,“ All right! If you take me back to fight with the Ammonites and the LORD gives them to me, I will be your leader.”

Jephthah said to the elders of Gilead,“ If you bring me home again to fight with the children of Ammon, and Yahweh delivers them before me, will I be your head?”

Then Moses said to them,“ Do what you have promised to do. Get ready to fight for the Lord.Prepare yourselves and go across the Jordan River. Fight for the Lord until he has driven out his enemies in front of him.When the land is under the Lord’ s control, you can come back here. Your duty to the Lord and Israel will be over. Then the Lord will give you this land as your own.“ But what if you fail to do your duty? Then you will be sinning against the Lord. And you may be sure that your sin will be discovered. It will be brought out into the open.So build up cities for your women and children. Make sheep pens for your flocks. But do what you have promised to do.”The people of Gad and Reuben spoke to Moses. They said,“ We will do just as you command.Our children and wives will remain here in the cities of Gilead. So will our flocks and herds.But we will prepare ourselves for battle. We’ll go across the Jordan River and fight for the Lord. We will do just as you have said.”Then Moses gave orders about them to Eleazar the priest. He gave the same orders to Joshua, the son of Nun. He also spoke to the family leaders of the Israelite tribes.He said,“ The men of Gad and Reuben must get ready for battle. They must go across the Jordan River with you. They must help you fight for the Lord. They must stay with you until the land has been brought under your control. If they do, you must give them the land of Gilead as their own.
