1 Ephraim hlang neh tlangpuei la aka kat te a hueh tih Jephthah taengah, “Ammon ca rhoek vathoh thil ham na kat vaengah balae tih nang neh aka pongpa hmaih ham kaimih khaw nang khue pawh. Te dongah na im neh namah te hmai neh kang hoeh uh ni,” a ti nah.
And the men of Ephraim assembled [themselves], and passed on to the north, and said to Jephthae, Therefore did you go over to fight with the children of Ammon, and did not call us to go with you? we will burn your house over you with fire.
2 Tedae amih te Jephthah loh, “Kai tah ka pilnam neh pilnu Ammon ca rhoek kah tuituknah khuikah hlang la ka om tih nangmih te kan doek dae kai he amih kut lamloh nan khang uh moenih.
And Jephthae said to them, I and my people and the children of Ammon were very much engaged in war; and I called for you, and you did not save me out of their hand.
3 Khangnah na khueh pawt te ka hmuh van vaengah tah ka kut dongkah ka hinglu ka khuen tih Ammon ca rhoek te ka paan. Te vaengah amih te BOEIPA loh ka kut dongah m'paek. Balae tih kai vathoh thil ham tihnin atah kai taengla na lo uh kanoek,” a ti nah.
And I saw that you were no helper, and I put my life in my hand, and passed on to the sons of Ammon; and the Lord delivered them into my hand: and therefore are you come up against me this day to fight with me?
4 Te dongah Jephthah loh Gilead hlang boeih te a coi tih Ephraim te a tloek. Ephraim lakli ah khaw, Manasseh lakli ah khaw, “Gilead nang he Ephraim hlangyong ni,” a ti uh dongah Ephraim te Gilead hlang rhoek loh a tloek uh.
And Jephthae gathered all the men of Galaad, and fought with Ephraim; and the men of Galaad struck Ephraim, because they that were escaped of Ephraim said, You [are] of Galaad in the midst of Ephraim and in the midst of Manasse.
5 Ephraim te Jordan lamkai ah Gilead loh a mah tih a om vaengah Ephraim hlangyong rhoek loh, “Ng'kat sak uh mai,” a ti nauh. Te dongah anih te Gilead hlang rhoek loh, “Nang Ephraim a?,” a ti nah hatah, “Moenih,” a ti nah.
And Galaad took the fords of Jordan before Ephraim; and they that escaped of Ephraim said to them, Let us go over: and the men of Galaad said, Are you an Ephrathite? and he said, No.
6 Tedae anih te, “Thingpae ti mai,” a ti na uh dongah hmantang la a thui ham coeng pawt tih, “Cangyang ni,” a ti. Te phoeiah anih te a tuuk uh tih Jordan lamkai ah a ngawn uh. Te vaeng hnin ah Ephraim thawng sawmli panit te a cungku sak.
Then they said to him, Say now Stachys; and he did not rightly pronounce it so: and they took him, and killed him at the fords of Jordan; and there fell at that time of Ephraim two and forty thousand.
