And the men of Ephraim were called together, and passed over northward, —and said unto Jephthah—Wherefore didst thou pass over to do battle with the sons of Ammon, and, for us, didst not call, to go with thee? Thy house, will we consume over thee with fire.
2 Jephthah ni ahnimouh koe Ammonnaw heh ka taminaw hoi atangcalah ka tuk awh. Na kaw awh navah, na kut dawk hoi na rungngang kalawn hoeh.
And Jephthah said unto them, Great strife, had, I and my people, even with the sons of Ammon; but, when I cried unto you for help, ye saved me not out of their hand.
3 Hottelah nangmouh ni na rungngang hoeh toe tie ka panue toteh, due han hai pouk laipalah, Ammonnaw tuk hanlah ka cei awh. Hahoi BAWIPA ni ahnimanaw teh ka kut dawk na poe. Bangkongmaw kaimouh tuk hanelah sahnin vah na kamthaw awh vaw atipouh.
So, when I saw that thou wast not going to save, then put I my life in my hand, and passed over against the sons of Ammon, and Yahweh delivered them into my hand. Wherefore, then, have ye come up against me this day, to fight against me?
4 Hahoi Jephthah ni Gileadnaw pueng a pâkhueng teh, Ephraim hah a tuk awh. Ephraim ni nangmouh teh Ephraim miphun, Manasseh miphunnaw dawk hoi na yawng awh teh, kathounghoehe miphun doeh telah Gilead miphunnaw hanlah ouk na pathoe awh dawkvah, Ephraim miphunnaw hah ka tuk awh.
And Jephthah gathered together all the men of Gilead, and fought with Ephraim, —and the men of Gilead smote Ephraim, because they said—Fugitives of Ephraim, are, ye, O ye Gileadites, in the midst of Ephraim, in the midst of Manasseh.
5 Hahoi, Gileadnaw ni Jordan namran lah a pha hoehnahlan, Ephraim hah a man awh. Hahoi teh hettelah. Ephraim kayawngnaw ni na luen sak haw ati navah, Gileadnaw ni ahnimouh koe, Ephraim na ou, atipouh. Ahnimouh ni Ephraim nahoeh ati awh torei vah,
And the Gileadites captured the fords of the Jordan, against the Ephraimites, —and so it was, that, when the fugitives of Ephraim said, Let me pass over, the men of Gilead said to him, An Ephraimite, art thou? and, if he said—Nay!
6 ahnimouh koe Shibboleth telah dei haw atipouh awh navah, ahnimanaw ni Sibboleth ati awh toteh, kacaicalah dei panuek awh hoeh. Telah hoiyah a man awh teh, Jordan tui rakanae koe a thei awh. Hot patetlah tui a rakanae koe Ephraim hah 42000 touh a thei awh.
they said to him, Come now, say Shibboleth, and, if he said Sibboleth, and he could not take heed to speak in that manner, then laid they hold on him, and slew him at the fords of the Jordan, —and there fell, at that time, of the Ephraimites, forty-two thousand.
7 Hahoi Jephthah ni Isarel hah kum 6 touh a uk. Hahoi Gilead tami Jephthah teh a due. Ama kho Gilead kho vah a pakawp awh.
And, when Jephthah had judged Israel six years, then Jephthah the Gileadite died, and was buried in [one of] the cities of Gilead.

And so it was, he had thirty sons, and, thirty daughters, sent he abroad, while, thirty daughters, brought he from abroad for his sons. And he judged Israel seven years.

And Ibzan died, and was buried in Bethlehem.
11 Ahni hnukkhu hoi Zebulun tami Elon ni Isarel hah kum 10 touh thung a uk.
And, after him, did Elon the Zebulunite judge Israel, —and he judged Israel, ten years.
