Judges 12
1 And the men of Ephraim assembled [themselves], and passed on to the north, and said to Jephthae, Wherefore didst thou go over to fight with the children of Ammon, and didst not call us to go with thee? we will burn thy house over thee with fire.
Mgbe ahụ, ndị Ifrem kpọkọtara ndị agha ha na Zafọn zigara Jefta ozi sị ya, “Gịnị mere ị kpọghị anyị ka anyị bịa nyere gị aka ịlụso ndị Amọn agha? Anyị na-abịa iwere ọkụ irechapụ gị na ezinaụlọ gị.”
2 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 ye did not save me out of their hand.
Jefta zaghachiri ha sị, “Akpọrọ m unu mgbe mụ na ndị m na ndị Amọn na-ese okwu dị ukwu ma unu jụrụ ịbịa. Unu azọpụtaghị m site nʼaka ha.
3 And I saw that thou wert 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 wherefore are ye come up against me this day to fight with me?
Mgbe m hụrụ na unu achọghị inyere anyị aka, e tinyere m ndụ m nʼaka m, gabiga nʼofe nke ọzọ ibuso ndị Amọn agha. Ma Onyenwe anyị nyeere m aka imeri ha. Ugbu a, nʼihi gịnị ka unu ji bịa ịlụso m ọgụ taa?”
4 And Jephthae gathered all the men of Galaad, and fought with Ephraim; and the men of Galaad smote Ephraim, because they that were escaped of Ephraim said, Ye [are] of Galaad in the midst of Ephraim and in the midst of Manasse.
Jefta kpọkọtara ndị ikom Gilead pụọ buso ndị Ifrem agha. Ndị Gilead tidara ha nʼala nʼihi na ndị Ifrem sịrị, “Ndị gbapụrụ agbapụ site nʼIfrem na Manase ka unu bụ.”
5 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, Art thou an Ephrathite? and he said, No.
Ọ nọchiri akụkụ Jọdan dị ndị agha Ifrem nʼazụ, ebe ndị agha Ifrem nwere ike isi gbapụ. Mgbe ọbụla onye agha Ifrem ọbụla gbapụrụ ọsọ chọọ ịgafe osimiri ahụ, ndị agha Gilead ga-ejide ya jụọ ya sị, “Ị bụ onye Ifrem?” Ọ bụrụ na onye ahụ ekwuo na ya abụghị onye Ifrem,
6 Then they said to him, Say now Stachys; and he did not rightly pronounce it so: and they took him, and slew him at the fords of Jordan; and there fell at that time of Ephraim two and forty thousand.
ha sịrị, “Ọ dị mma, kpọọ, ‘Shibolet.’” Ọ bụrụ na onye ahụ akpọ, “Sibolet,” nʼihi na ọ kpọpụtaghị mkpụrụ okwu ahụ nke ọma, ha na-akpụrụ ya gbuo ya na ngabiga mmiri Jọdan. Ọ bụ ọnụọgụgụ iri puku anọ, na puku abụọ ndị Ifrem ka e gburu mgbe ahụ.
7 And Jephthae judged Israel six years; and Jephthae the Galaadite died, and was buried in his city Galaad.
Jefta duuru ndị Izrel afọ isii. Mgbe ọ nwụrụ, e liri ya nʼotu obodo Gilead.
8 And after him Abaissan of Bethleem judged Israel.
Onye ikpe ọzọ Izrel nwere bụ Ibzan onye bi na Betlehem.
9 And he had thirty sons, and thirty daughters, whom he sent forth; and he brought in thirty daughters for his sons from without; and he judged Israel seven years.

13 And after him Abdon the son of Ellel, the Pharathonite, judged Israel.
Onye ọzọ kpere Izrel ikpe bụ Abdon nwa Hilel, onye Piraton.
14 And he had forty sons, and thirty grandsons, that rode upon seventy colts: and he judged Israel eight years.
