11.30 Si tradideris filios Ammon. AUG., ibid. Quemlibet cogitaverit Jephte, non videtur filiam cogitasse; non enim diceret: heu me! filia mi impedisti me, etc. In icat enim se impeditum, ne illud quod cogitaverat impleret. Quem autem potuit cogitare qui filios non habebat? An conjugem cogitavit et ut hoc fieret Deus noluit et ut hoc non relinqueret impunitum; ne quis postea id auderet: et ut magna providentia ex hoc quod accidit magnum sacramentum Ecclesiæ figuraretur. Ex utroque ergo prophetia adaptata est? quod scilicet vovens cogitavit, et quod nolenti contingit. Si enim conjugem cogitavit, conjux Christi Ecclesia est. Sed quia hujus Jephte conjux virgo esse non potuit, in eo quod filia potius occurrit, inulta non remansit voti temeritas, et virginitas Ecclesiæ figurata est, cui dicitur: Filia, fides tua te salvam fecit, vade in pace Luc. 7.. AUG., quæst. 49. De Jephte filia solet esse magna quæstio, etc., usque ad ut omnia quæ post facta sunt tanquam opera Spiritus Domini qui super eum factus est, intelligenda videantur. ID. Sed inter laudabiles viros, etc., usque ad ut omnino evitetur, sed tantum ut differatur, laborat. ISID., in Jud., tom. 5. Jephte Christum significat, quia a facie fratrum suorum, id est Judæorum abscedens, in gentibus principatum accepit, quia omnia humanæ salutis sacramenta quasi juratus explevit: et carnem propriam quasi filiam pro salute Isræl obtulit. Juravit autem patri et vovit secundum illud: Sicut juravit Domino, votum vovit Deo Jacob, quod scilicet sacramentum religionis in carnis suæ passione pro salute humani generis expleret. Hæc ergo ita per Christum acta sunt ut videantur pro religione juramenti esse completa.

11.30 When/But_if tradideris filios Ammon. AUG., ibid. Quemlibet cogitaverit Yephte, not/no videtur daughterm cogitasse; not/no because diceret: heu me! daughter my impedisti me, etc. In icat because se impeditum, not illud that cogitaverat impleret. Quem however potuit cogitare who filios not/no habebat? An conyugem cogitavit and as this fieret God noluit and as this not/no relinqueret impunitum; not who/any postea id auderet: and as magna providentia from this that accidit magnum sacramentum Ecclesiæ figuraretur. From both therefore prophetia adaptata est? that scilicet vovens cogitavit, and that nolenti contingit. When/But_if because conyugem cogitavit, conyux of_Christ Ecclesia it_is. But because huyus Yephte conyux virgo esse not/no potuit, in eo that daughter rather occurrit, inulta not/no remansit voti temeritas, and virginitas Ecclesiæ figurata it_is, cui it_is_said: Filia, fides your you(sg) salvam fecit, vade in pace Luc. 7.. AUG., quæst. 49. De Yephte daughter solet esse magna quæstio, etc., until to as everything which after facts are tanquam opera Spiritus Master who over him factus it_is, intelligenda videantur. ID. But between laudabiles viros, etc., until to as omnino evitetur, but only as differatur, laborat. ISID., in Yud., tom. 5. Yephte Christum significat, because from face brothers suorum, id it_is Yudæorum abscedens, in nations principatum accepit, because everything humanæ salutis sacramenta as_if yuratus explevit: and carnem propriam as_if daughterm for salute Isræl obtulit. Yuravit however patri and vovit after/second illud: Sicut he_promised Master, votum vovit Deo Yacob, that scilicet sacramentum religionis in carnis suæ passione for salute humani generis expleret. This therefore ita through Christum acta are as videantur for religione yuramenti esse completa.

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-background

וַ⁠יִּדַּ֨ר יִפְתָּ֥ח נֶ֛דֶר לַ⁠יהוָ֖ה וַ⁠יֹּאמַ֑ר

and,made Yiftāḩ/(Jephthah) (a)_vow to/for=YHWH and,said

Here the author is providing background information to help readers understand what happens in the story. Since the first sentence of 11:32 describes the same thing as the last sentence of 11:29, the Israelite attack against the Ammonites, this verse and the next one are describing something that happened just before that. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. Alternate translation: [But before he led that attack against the Ammonites, Jephthah vowed a vow to Yahweh and said]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / hendiadys

וַ⁠יִּדַּ֨ר יִפְתָּ֥ח נֶ֛דֶר לַ⁠יהוָ֖ה וַ⁠יֹּאמַ֑ר

and,made Yiftāḩ/(Jephthah) (a)_vow to/for=YHWH and,said

This phrase expresses a single idea by using two words connected with and. The vowing and saying were not two different actions. The word vowed indicates what Jephthah was doing when he said this. Alternate translation: [And Jephthah solemnly promised Yahweh]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicitinfo

וַ⁠יִּדַּ֨ר יִפְתָּ֥ח נֶ֛דֶר

and,made Yiftāḩ/(Jephthah) (a)_vow

It might seem that the expression vowed a vow contains extra information that would be unnatural to express in your language. If so, you can shorten it. Alternate translation: [And Jephthah made a vow]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / reduplication

אִם־נָת֥וֹן תִּתֵּ֛ן

if to_give give

Jephthah is repeating forms of the verb give in order to intensify the idea that it expresses. If your language can repeat words for intensification, it would be appropriate to do that here in your translation. If not, your language may have another way of expressing the emphasis. Alternate translation: [If in fact you give]
