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!”
Na ka huihuia nga tangata o Eparaima, a ka haere ki te raki, ka mea ki a Iepeta, He aha koe i haere ai ki te whawhai ki nga tamariki a Amona, a kihai i karanga i a matou kia haere tahi tatou? ka tahuna e matou tou whare i runga i a koe ki te ahi.
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.
Na ka mea a Iepeta ki a ratou, He nui ta matou whawhai ko toku iwi ki nga tamariki a Amona; a i taku karangatanga atu ki a koutou, kihai koutou i whakaora i ahau i roto i to ratou ringa.
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?”
A, no toku kitenga kihai koutou i whakaora i ahau, whakamomori atu ana ahau ki te mate, a haere ana ki nga tamariki a Amona, na homai ana ratou e Ihowa ki toku ringa: a he aha ra koutou i haere mai ai ki ahau inaianei, whawhai ai?
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.”
Katahi ka huihuia e Iepeta nga tangata katoa o Kireara, a ka whawhai ki a Eparaima: a patua iho a Eparaima e nga tangata o Kireara, mo ta ratou ki, He rerenga koutou, e nga Kireari, no Eparaima, i roto i nga Eparaimi, i roto i nga Manahi.
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,”
Na ka nohoia e nga Kireari nga whitinga mo nga Eparaimi i Horano, a, i te meatanga a nga rerenga o nga Eparaimi, Kia whiti atu ahau; na ka mea nga tangata o Kireara ki a ia, No Eparaima koe? A no tana kianga, Kahore;
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.
Katahi ratou ka mea ki a ia, Tena, whakahuatia, Hiporete: na ko tana meatanga, Iporete: kahore hoki i taea e ia te tikanga o te whakahua. Na hopukia ana ia e ratou, a patua iho ki nga whitinga o Horano: A e wha tekau ma rua mano o nga Eparaimi i hinga i taua wa.
7 Jephthah judged Israel six years, and when he died, he was buried in one of the cities of Gilead.
A e ono nga tau i whakarite ai a Iepeta mo Iharaira. Na ka mate a Iepeta Kireari, a tanumia ana ki tetahi o nga pa o Kireara.
8 After Jephthah, Ibzan of Bethlehem judged Israel.
A i muri i a ia na Ipitana i whakarite a Iharaira; no Peterehema ia.
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.
A e toru tekau ana tama, e toru tekau hoki ana tamahine; ko enei i tonoa e ia ki waho, e toru tekau ano hoki nga tamahine i tangohia mai e ia i waho ma ana tama. A e whitu nga tau i whakarite ai ia mo Iharaira.
10 Then Ibzan died, and he was buried in Bethlehem.
Na ka mate a Ipitana, a ka tanu mai ki Peterehema.
11 After Ibzan, Elon the Zebulunite judged Israel ten years.
A i muri i a ia na Erono Hepuroni i whakarite a Iharaira; a kotahi tekau nga tau i whakarite ai ia mo Iharaira.
12 Then Elon the Zebulunite died, and he was buried in Aijalon in the land of Zebulun.
Na ka mate a Erono Hepuroni, a tanumia ana ki Aitarona ki te whenua o Hepurona.
13 After Elon, Abdon son of Hillel, from Pirathon, judged Israel.
A, muri iho i a ia, na Aparono tama a Hirere o Piratono i whakarite a Iharaira.
14 He had forty sons and thirty grandsons, who rode on seventy donkeys. And he judged Israel eight years.
A e wha tekau ana tama, e toru tekau hoki nga tama a ana tama; e whitu tekau nga kuao kaihe i eke ai ratou: a e waru nga tau i whakarite ai ia mo Iharaira.
15 Then Abdon son of Hillel, from Pirathon, died, and he was buried at Pirathon in Ephraim, in the hill country of the Amalekites.
Na ka mate a Aparono tama a hirere o Piratono, a ka tanumia ki Piratono ki te whenua o Eparaima, ki te whenua pukepuke o nga Amareki.
