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.

耶弗他派使者到亚扪人的王那里，说：“你与我有什么相干，竟来到我这里攻打我的地呢？”亚扪人的王对耶弗他的使者说：“因为以色列从埃及上来的时候占据我的地，从亚嫩河到雅博河，直到约旦河。现在你要和平归还这些地方！”耶弗他又派使者到亚扪人的王那里，对他说：“耶弗他如此说：以色列并没有占据摩押地和亚扪人的地。以色列人从埃及上来，是经过旷野到红海，来到加低斯。那时，以色列派使者去以东王那里，说：‘求你让我穿越你的地。’以东王却不听。以色列又照样派使者去摩押王那里，他也不肯。于是以色列人就住在加低斯。他们又经过旷野，绕过以东地和摩押地，到摩押地的东边，在亚嫩河边安营，并没有进入摩押的境内，因为亚嫩河是摩押的边界。以色列派使者去亚摩利王，就是希实本王西宏那里；以色列对他说：‘求你让我们穿越你的地，到我自己的地方去。’西宏却不信任以色列，不让他们穿越他的疆界。他召集了他的众百姓在雅杂安营，与以色列争战。耶和华—以色列的神将西宏和他的众百姓都交在以色列手中，以色列人就击杀他们，占领了那地居民亚摩利人的全地。他们占领了亚摩利人所有的疆土，从亚嫩河到雅博河，从旷野直到约旦河。耶和华—以色列的神如今从他百姓以色列面前赶出亚摩利人，你竟要占领它吗？你不是已经得了你的神明基抹赐给你的地为业吗？耶和华—我们的神在我们面前所赶出的，我们也要得它为业。现在你比西拨的儿子摩押王巴勒还强吗？他真的曾与以色列争执，或是真的与他们争战了吗？以色列人住希实本和所属的乡镇，亚罗珥和所属的乡镇，以及沿着亚嫩河的一切城镇，已经有三百年了。在这期间，你们为什么不取回呢？我并没有得罪你，你却要攻打我，加害于我。愿审判人的耶和华今日在以色列人和亚扪人之间判断是非。”但亚扪人的王不听耶弗他传达给他的话。耶和华的灵降在耶弗他身上，他就经过基列和玛拿西，经过基列的米斯巴，又从基列的米斯巴过到亚扪人那里。耶弗他向耶和华许愿，说：“你若真的将亚扪人交在我手中，我从亚扪人那里平平安安回来的时候，无论谁先从我家门出来迎接我，就要归给耶和华，我必将他献上作为燔祭。”于是耶弗他往亚扪人那里去，与他们争战。耶和华将他们交在他手中，他就彻底击败他们，从亚罗珥到米匿，直到亚备勒‧基拉明，攻取了二十座城。这样，亚扪人就在以色列人面前被制伏了。
