< Judges 12 >

1 And behold, a sedition rose up in Ephraim. Then, while passing by toward the north, they said to Jephthah: “When you were going to fight against the sons of Ammon, why were you unwilling to summon us, so that we might go with you? Therefore, we will burn down your house.”
A KOAKOA mai la na kanaka o ka Eperaima, a hele ae la i ka aoao akau, i aku la ia Iepeta, No ke aha la oe i hele aku e kaua aku i na mamo a Amona, aole kii mai ia makou e hele pu me oe? E puhi ana makou i kou hale i ke ahi maluna ou.
2 And he answered them: “I and my people were in a great conflict against the sons of Ammon. And I called you, so that you might offer assistance to me. And you were not willing to do so.
I mai la o Iepeta ia lakou, He kanaka hakaka nui loa au me na mamo a Amona, a o ko'u poe kanaka kekahi; a i ko'u hea ana aku ia oukou, aole oukou i hoopakele mai ia'u, mai ko lakou lima mai.
3 And discerning this, I put my life in my own hands, and I crossed to the sons of Ammon, and the Lord delivered them into my hands. What am I guilty of, that you would rise up in battle against me?”
A ike aku la au, aole oukou i hoopakele mai ia'u, alaila waiho iho la au i ko'u ola ma kuu lima, a hele ku e aku la i na mamo a Amona. Haawi mai no o Iehova ia lakou iloko o kuu lima. No ke aha la hoi oukou i hele mai ai ia'u i keia la e kaua mai ia'u?
4 And so, calling to himself all the men of Gilead, he fought against Ephraim. And the men of Gilead struck down Ephraim, because he had said, “Gilead is a fugitive from Ephraim, and he lives in the midst of Ephraim and Manasseh.”
Alaila hoakoakoa mai la o Iepeta i na kanaka o Gileada, a kaua pu iho la me ka Eperaima. Luku aku la na kanaka o Gileada i ka Eperaima, no ka mea, olelo lakou, O oukou, o ko Gileada, he poe aea oukou no Eperaima, e noho ana mawaena o ka Eperaima, a me ka Manase.
5 And the Gileadites occupied the fords of the Jordan, along which Ephraim was to return. And when anyone from the number of Ephraim had arrived, fleeing, and had said, “I beg that you permit me to pass,” the Gileadites would say to him, “Could you be an Ephraimite?” And if he said, “I am not,”
Lilo iho la na ahua o Ioredane i ka Gileada, mamua o ka Eperaima. A ina i hele mai kekahi o ka Eperaima, i pakele, a olelo mai, E hele paha wau i kela aoao; alaila ninau ae la na kanaka o Gileada ia ia, No ka Eperaima oe? A ina olelo mai oia, Aole;
6 they would ask him, then say ‘Shibboleth,’ which is translated as ‘ear of grain.’ But he would answer ‘Sibboleth,’ not being able to express the word for an ear of grain in the same letters. And immediately apprehending him, they would cut his throat, at the same crossing point of the Jordan. And in that time of Ephraim, forty-two thousand fell.
Alaila, olelo mai lakou ia ia, E i iho oe, Sehiboleta. I mai la kela, Siboleta; no ka mea, aole hiki ia ia ke olelo pololei pela. Alaila hoopaa lakou ia ia, a pepehi no ma na ahua o Ioredane. Ia manawa haule na kanaka o Eperaima, he kanahakumamalua tausani.
7 And so Jephthah, the Gileadite, judged Israel for six years. And he died, and he was buried in his city in Gilead.
Hooponopono o Iepeta i ka Iseraela, i eono makahiki. Alaila, make o Iepeta no Gileada, a kanuia oia ma kekahi o na kulanakauhale o Gileada.
8 After him, Ibzan of Bethlehem judged Israel.
A mahope iho ona, na Ibezana o Betelehema i hooponopono i ka Iseraela.
9 He had thirty sons, and the same number of daughters, whom he sent away to be given to husbands. And he accepted wives for his sons of the same number, bringing them into his house. And he judged Israel for seven years.
He kanakolu ana keikikane, a he kanakolu kaikamahine. Hoouna aku la ia ia lakou i kahi e, a lawe mai i kanakolu kaikamahine, mai kahi e, na kana poe keikikane. Nana i hooponopono i ka Iseraela, i ehiku makahiki.
10 And he died, and he was buried in Bethlehem.
Alaila make o Ibezana, a kanuia ma Betelehema.
11 After him succeeded Elon, a Zebulunite. And he judged Israel for ten years.
A mahope iho ona, hooponopono o Elona, no ka Zebuluna i ka Iseraela. Hooponopono ia i ka Iseraela, he umi makahiki.
12 And he died, and he was buried in Zebulun.
A make iho la o Elona, no ka Zebuluna, a kauia iho la ia ma Aialona, ma ka aina o Zebuluna.
13 After him, Abdon, the son of Hillel, a Pirathonite, judged Israel.
A mahope iho ona, na Abedona, ke keiki a Hilela, no ka Piratona, i hooponopono i ka Iseraela.
14 And he had forty sons, and from them thirty grandsons, all riding upon seventy young donkeys. And he judged Israel for eight years.
He kanaha kana poe keikikane, a he kanakolu moopuna kane, a holo lakou maluna o na hoki keiki, he kanahiku. Nana i hooponopono i ka Iseraela, i ewalu makahiki.
15 And he died, and he was buried at Pirathon, in the land of Ephraim, on the mountain of Amalek.
Make iho la o Abedona, ke keiki a Hilela no Piratona, a kanuia iho la ia ma Piratona, ka aina o Eperaima ma ka mauna o ka Ameleka.
