ANI owo shi dã ni yɛ sɛɛ mli lɛ ona akɛ ewa waa kɛha bo akɛ oooye shiwoo lɛ nɔ? Nuu ni yɔɔ mfoniri nɛɛ mli lɛ fee nakai, ni no hewɔ ni enii efee mɔbɔ lɛ. Nuu nɛɛ ji Israel kojolɔ ekãalɔ ko ni atsɛɔ lɛ Yefta.

Yefta hi shi yɛ be ni Israelbii lɛ jaaa Yehowa dɔŋŋ lɛ mli. Amɛmiifee nibii ni ehiii lɛ ekoŋŋ. No hewɔ lɛ Yehowa ha Amonbii lɛ hao amɛ. Enɛ ha Israelbii lɛ bolɔ amɛtsɛ Yehowa akɛ: ‘Wɔfee esha wɔshio. Ofainɛ, heremɔ wɔyiwala!’

Gbɔmɛi lɛ shwa amɛhe yɛ nifɔjianii ni amɛfee lɛ hewɔ. Amɛja Yehowa ekoŋŋ ni amɛkɛtsɔɔ akɛ amɛshwa amɛhe. No hewɔ lɛ Yehowa ye ebua amɛ ekoŋŋ.

Gbɔmɛi lɛ hala Yefta ni ekɛ Amonbii gbɔmɛi gbohii lɛ ayawu. Yefta miitao waa ni Yehowa aye abua lɛ yɛ ta lɛ mli. No hewɔ lɛ ewo Yehowa shi akɛ: ‘Kɛ oha miye Amonbii lɛ anɔ kunim lɛ, no lɛ mikɛ mɔ klɛŋklɛŋ ni baaje kpo kɛjɛ mishia lɛ mli ni ekɛ mi abakpe yɛ misɛɛkuu mli yɛ mikunimyeli lɛ mli lɛ baaha bo.’

Yehowa bo Yefta shiwoo lɛ toi, ni eye ebua lɛ ni eye kunim. Beni Yefta ku esɛɛ kɛba shia lɛ, ani ole mɔ ni ji mɔ klɛŋklɛŋ ni je kpo ekɛ lɛ bakpe? Ebiyoo, ni ji ebi kome too pɛ lɛ. Yefta bo akɛ: ‘Oo, mibiyoo! Mɛɛ awerɛho sane okɛbaa minɔ nɛɛ. Shi miwo Yehowa shi, ni minyɛŋ magbala sɛɛ.’

Beni Yefta biyoo lɛ nu eshiwoo lɛ, klɛŋklɛŋ lɛ, lɛ hu eye awerɛho. Ejaakɛ no tsɔɔ akɛ ebaashi epapa kɛ enanemɛi fɛɛ. Shi ekɛ ewala bei abɔ ni eshwɛ lɛ fɛɛ baasɔmɔ Yehowa yɛ ekpee buu lɛ mli yɛ Shilo. No hewɔ lɛ ekɛɛ epapa akɛ: ‘Kɛ́ owo Yehowa shi lɛ, esa akɛ oye nɔ.’

No hewɔ lɛ, Yefta biyoo lɛ tee Shilo, ni ekɛ ewala gbii abɔ ni eshwɛ lɛ sɔmɔ Yehowa yɛ jɛmɛ yɛ ekpee buu lɛ mli. Yei ni yɔɔ Israel lɛ yaa jɛmɛ gbii ejwɛ yɛ afi mli ni amɛyasaraa lɛ, ni amɛkɛ lɛ naa miishɛɛ. Gbɔmɛi lɛ sumɔɔ Yefta biyoo lɛ ejaakɛ eji Yehowa sɔɔlɔ kpakpa waa.
