< Judges 12 >
1 Then the men of Ephraim assembled and crossed the Jordan to Zaphon. They said to Jephthah, “Why have you crossed over to fight the Ammonites without calling us to go with you? We will burn your house down with you inside!”
Lè sa a, moun branch fanmi Efrayim yo reyini ansanm, yo janbe lòt bò larivyè Jouden, y' al lavil Zafon. Yo di Jefte konsa: -Poukisa ou travèse al goumen ak moun Amon yo san ou pa rele nou ale avè ou? Se poutèt sa, nou pral boule kay ou a sou ou.
2 But Jephthah replied, “My people and I had a serious conflict with the Ammonites, and when I called, you did not save me out of their hands.
Men Jefte di yo: -Moun pa m' yo ansanm avè m', nou te gen yon gwo kont ak moun Amon yo. Mwen te rele nou, men nou pa t' vle vin delivre m' anba men yo.
3 When I saw that you would not save me, I risked my life and crossed over to the Ammonites, and the LORD delivered them into my hand. Why then have you come today to fight against me?”
Lè m' wè nou pa t' soti pou nou vin pote m' sekou, m' al riske vi m'. Mwen travèse al goumen ak moun Amon yo, epi Seyè a lage yo nan men m'. Poukisa pou koulye a nou moute jouk lakay mwen vin chache m' kont?
4 Jephthah then gathered all the men of Gilead and fought against Ephraim. And the men of Gilead struck them down because the Ephraimites had said, “You Gileadites are fugitives in Ephraim, living in the territories of Ephraim and Manasseh.”
Lè sa a menm, Jefte sanble tout gason ki nan peyi Galarad la, y' al goumen ak moun Efrayim yo. Yo bat yo byen bat. Moun Efrayim yo te konn joure moun Galarad yo. Yo te konn di: Moun Galarad yo, se yon bann trèt yo ye. Yo kite peyi yo, Efrayim, y' al rete nan peyi Manase a!
5 The Gileadites captured the fords of the Jordan leading to Ephraim, and whenever a fugitive from Ephraim would say, “Let me cross over,” the Gileadites would ask him, “Are you an Ephraimite?” If he answered, “No,”
Apre sa, moun Galarad yo pran kontwole tout pas larivyè Jouden kote pou janbe ale nan peyi Efrayim. Chak fwa yonn nan moun Efrayim yo rive pou yo kouri janbe al nan peyi yo, li te blije mande yo pèmisyon. Lè konsa, moun Galarad yo mande l' èske se moun Efrayim li ye. Si li reponn non,
6 they told him, “Please say Shibboleth.” If he said, “Sibboleth,” because he could not pronounce it correctly, they seized him and killed him at the fords of the Jordan. So at that time 42,000 Ephraimites were killed.
lè sa a yo mande l' pou l' di: Chibolèt. Men li di: Sibolèt paske li pa t' ka rive di l' jan yo di l' la. Lamenm yo mete men sou li, yo touye l' la nan pas la. Lè sa a, yo te touye karanndemil (42.000) moun nan branch fanmi Efrayim lan.
7 Jephthah judged Israel six years, and when he died, he was buried in one of the cities of Gilead.
Jefte, moun Galarad la, te gouvènen pèp Izrayèl la pandan sizan. Apre sa, li mouri, epi yo antere l' nan lavil kote li te fèt la nan peyi Galarad.
8 After Jephthah, Ibzan of Bethlehem judged Israel.
Apre Jefte, se Ibzan, moun lavil Betleyèm, ki te gouvènen pèp Izrayèl la.
9 He had thirty sons, as well as thirty daughters whom he gave in marriage to men outside his clan; and for his sons he brought back thirty wives from elsewhere. Ibzan judged Israel seven years.
Li te gen trant pitit gason ak trant pitit fi. Li marye trant pitit fi l' yo ak moun ki pa t' nan branch fanmi l' epi li fè chache jenn fi nan lòt branch fanmi pou pitit gason l' yo. Li gouvènen pèp Izrayèl la pandan sètan.
10 Then Ibzan died, and he was buried in Bethlehem.
Apre sa, Ibzan mouri, yo antere l' lavil Betleyèm.
11 After Ibzan, Elon the Zebulunite judged Israel ten years.
Apre li, se Elon, moun Zabilon an, ki te gouvènen pèp Izrayèl la pandan dizan.
12 Then Elon the Zebulunite died, and he was buried in Aijalon in the land of Zebulun.
Lè Elon, moun Zabilon an, mouri, yo antere l' lavil Ajalon nan peyi Zabilon.
13 After Elon, Abdon son of Hillel, from Pirathon, judged Israel.
Apre li, se Abdon, pitit gason Ilèl, moun lavil Piraton, ki t'ap gouvènen pèp Izrayèl la.
14 He had forty sons and thirty grandsons, who rode on seventy donkeys. And he judged Israel eight years.
Li te gen karant pitit gason ak trant pitit pitit gason ki te konn moute sou swasanndis ti bourik. Li gouvènen pèp Izrayèl la pandan witan.
15 Then Abdon son of Hillel, from Pirathon, died, and he was buried at Pirathon in Ephraim, in the hill country of the Amalekites.
Lè Abdon, pitit gason Ilèl la, mouri, yo antere l' lavil Piraton nan peyi Efrayim, nan mòn moun Amalèk yo.
