Jongʼad Bura 12
1 Jo-Efraim nochoko jolweny mage, ma gidhi Zafon kendo giwachone Jeftha niya, “Angʼo ma omiyo ne idhi kedo gi jo-Amon ma ok iluongowa mondo wadhi kodi? Wadhi wangʼo odi ka in e iye.”
But behold there arose a sedition in Ephraim. And passing towards the north, they said to Jephte: When thou wentest to fight against the children of Ammon, why wouldst thou not call us, that we might go with thee? Therefore we will burn thy house.
2 Jeftha nodwoko niya, An kod joga ne wanie kedo mager gi jo-Amon, ne waluongou to ne utamoru biro resowa e lwetgi.
And he answered them: I and my people were at great strife with the children of Ammon: and I called you to assist me, and you would not do it.
3 Kane aneno ni ok unyal konya, nakawo ngimana e lweta mi angʼado adhi mondo aked gi jo-Amon, kendo Jehova Nyasaye nomiya loch kuomgi. Koro, angʼoma omiyo ubiro kawuono mondo uked koda?
And when I saw this, I put my life in my own hands, and passed over against the children of Ammon, and the Lord delivered them into my hands. What have I deserved, that you should rise up to fight against me?
4 Omiyo Jeftha noluongo jo-Gilead duto mi gikedo gi jo-Efraim. Jo-Gilead nonegogi nikech jo-Efraim nosewacho niya, “Un jo-Gilead un mana jonjore mane oa Efraim gi Manase.”
Then calling to him all the men of Galaad, he fought against Ephraim: and the men of Galaad defeated Ephraim, because he had said: Galaad is a fugitive of Ephraim, and dwelleth in the midst of Ephraim and Manasses.
5 Jo-Gilead nomako kuonde miyorogo Jordan mondo jo-Efraim kik ngʼadi. Sa moro amora mane ja-Efraim dwaro ngʼado kanyo to ne okwayo ni yiene okadhi odhi loka cha. To kane okwayo kamano; to ja-Gilead ne penje ka bende en ja-Efraim. To kane odwoko ni ok en ja-Efraim,
And the Galaadites secured the fords of the Jordan, by which Ephraim was to return. And when any one of the number of Ephraim came thither in the flight, and said: I beseech you let me pass: the Galaadites said to him: Art thou not an Ephraimite? If he said: I am not:
6 to negiwachone ni mondo owach ni Shiboleth. To kane ok onyal luongo wachno maber, mi oluonge mana ni Siboleth, to negimake mi ginege e dho wath miyorogo aora Jordan. Jo-Efraim alufu piero angʼwen gariyo nonegi odiechiengno.
They asked him: Say then, Scibboleth, which is interpreted, An ear of corn. But he answered, Sibboleth, not being able to express an ear of corn by the same letter. Then presently they took him and killed him in the very passage of the Jordan. And there fell at that time of Ephraim two and forty thousand.
7 Jeftha notelo ne jo-Israel kuom higni auchiel. Bangʼe Jeftha ma ja-Gilead notho, mi noyike e dalane man Gilead.
And Jephte the Galaadite judged Israel six years: and he died, and was buried in his city of Galaad.
8 Bangʼ Jeftha, Ibzan ja-Bethlehem notelo ne jo-Israel.
After him Abesan of Bethlehem judged Israel:
9 Ne en-gi yawuowi piero adek kod nyiri piero adek. Nochiwo nyige monywom gi joma oko ma ok anywolane, to ne yawuote nokelonegi mon matindo obedo mondegi koa oko mar anywolane. Ibzan notelo ne Israel kuom higni abiriyo.
He had thirty sons, and as many daughters, whom he sent abroad, and gave to husbands, and took wives for his sons of the same number, bringing them into his house. And he judged Israel seven years:
10 Bangʼe Ibzan notho, kendo noyike Bethlehem.
And he died, and was buried in Bethlehem.
11 Bangʼ Ibzan, Elon ja-Zebulun notelo ne Israel kuom higni apar.
To him succeeded Ahialon a Zabulonite: and he judged Israel ten years:
12 Eka Elon notho, kendo noyike Aijalon mantiere e piny Zebulun.
And he died, and was buried in Zabulon.
13 Bangʼ Elon, Abdon wuod Hillel, moa Pirathon, notelo ne Israel.
After him Abdon, the son of Illel, a Pharathonite, judged Israel:
14 Ne en-gi yawuowi piero angʼwen kod nyikwayo ma yawuowi piero adek, mane nigi punde piero abiriyo ma giidho. Notelo ne Israel kuom higni aboro.
And he had forty sons, and of them thirty grandsons, mounted upon seventy ass colts, and he judged Israel eight years:
15 Eka Abdon wuod Hillel notho, kendo noyike Pirathon man Efraim, e piny got mar jo-Amalek.
And he died, and was buried in Pharathon in the land of Ephraim, in the mount of Amalech.
