Mga Maghuhukom 12
1 Miabot ang tawag sa kalalakin-an sa Efraim; miagi sila sa Zafon ug miingon kang Jepta, “Nganong milakaw ka man sa pagpakig-away batok sa katawhan sa Ammon nga wala magtawag kanamo nga mokuyog kanimo? Sunogon namo ang imong balay uban kanimo.”
The men of the tribe of Ephraim summoned their soldiers, and they crossed [the Jordan River] to [the town of] Zaphon [to talk with] Jephthah. They said to him, “(Why did you not ask us for help?/You should have requested us) to help your army fight the Ammon people-group. So we will burn down your house while you are in it.”
2 Miingon si Jepta kanila, “Ako ug ang akong katawhan adunay dakong panagbangi tali sa katawhan sa Ammon. Sa dihang nanawag ako kaninyo, wala ninyo ako luwasa gikan kanila.
Jephthah replied, “The Ammon people-group were oppressing us greatly. When we were prepared to start to attack them, I requested you to come and help us, but you refused. My men and I defeated the Ammon people-group, but you did not help us.
3 Sa dihang nakita nako nga wala ninyo ako luwasa, gibutang ko ang akong kinabuhi sa akong kaugalingong kusog ug mitabok batok sa katawhan sa Ammon, ug naghatag si Yahweh kanako ug kadaogan. Nganong mianhi man kamo aron pagpakig-away kanako karong adlawa?”
When I saw that you would not help us, I was willing to be killed in the battle against the Ammon people-group. But Yahweh helped us to defeat them. [You did not help us when we requested it before], so (why have you come here today to fight against me?/you should not have come here today to fight against me.)” [RHQ]
4 Gitigom ni Jepta ang tanang kalalakin-an sa Gilead ug nakig-away sila batok sa kalalakin-an sa Efraim. Ang kalalakin-an sa Gilead miataki sa kalalakin-an sa Efraim tungod kay sila miingon man, “Kamong mga taga Gilead nag-ikyas lang dinhi sa Efraim—sa Efraim ug sa Manasses.”
Then Jephthah summoned the men of [the] Gilead [region] to fight [against the men of the tribe of] Ephraim. The men of the tribe of Ephraim said, “You men from [the] Gilead [region] are men who deserted us. Long ago you left us and moved to the area between our tribe and the tribe of Manasseh.” [Because of their saying that], the men of [the] Gilead [region] attacked the men of the tribe of Ephraim.
5 Nailog sa mga Gileadhanon ang tabokanan sa Jordan paingon ngadto sa Efraim. Kung adunay makalingkawas nga taga Efraim moingon, “Pataboka ako sa suba,” ang mga tawo sa Gilead moingon kaniya, “Efraimhanon ka ba?” Kong moingon siya, “Dili,”
The men of Gilead captured that (ford/place where people can walk across) at the Jordan [River] to go to the land where the tribe of Ephraim live. Whenever one of the soldiers from the tribe of Ephraim came to the ford to try to escape, he would say, “Let me cross the river.” Then the men of Gilead would ask him, “Are you from the tribe of Ephraim?” If he said “No,”
6 unya ingnon nila siya, “Sulti: Shibbolet.” Ug kong moingon siya “Sibbolet” (kay dili niya matarong sa paglitok ang pulong), ang mga Gileadhanon modakop kaniya ug patyon siya diha sa tabokanan sa Jordan. 42, 000 ka Efraimhanon ang namatay niadtong higayona.
they would say to him, “Say the word ‘Shibboleth’.” The men of Ephraim could not pronounce that word correctly. So if the person from the tribe of Ephraim said ‘Sibboleth’, [they would know that he was lying and that he was really from the tribe of Ephraim, and] they would kill him there at the ford. So the men of Gilead killed 42,000 people from the tribe of Ephraim at that time.

After Jephthah died, a man named Ibzan, from Bethlehem, became the leader of the Israeli people.
9 Adunay siyay 30 ka lalaking anak. Gihatag niya ang iyang 30 ka mga anak nga babaye aron maminyo, ug nagdala siyag 30 ka mga babaye nga anak sa laing tawo alang sa iyang mga anak nga lalaki, gikan sa gawas. Maghuhukom siya sa Israel sulod sa pito ka tuig.
