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.”
At ang mga lalake ng Ephraim ay nagpipisan at nagdaan sa dakong hilagaan: at sinabi nila kay Jephte, Bakit ka nagpatuloy na lumaban sa mga anak ni Ammon, at hindi mo kami tinawag upang yumaong kasama mo? susunugin ka namin pati ng iyong bahay.
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.
At sinabi ni Jephte sa kanila, Ako at ang aking bayan ay totoong nakipaglaban sa mga anak ni Ammon; at nang tawagan ko kayo ay hindi ninyo ako iniligtas sa kanilang kamay.
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?”
At nang makita ko na ako'y hindi ninyo iniligtas ay aking inilagak ang aking buhay sa aking kamay, at ako'y nagdaan laban sa mga anak ni Ammon, at sila'y ibinigay ng Panginoon sa aking kamay: bakit nga inahon ninyo ako sa araw na ito, upang makipaglaban sa akin?
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.”
Nang magkagayo'y pinisan ni Jephte ang mga lalake sa Galaad, at nakipaglaban sa Ephraim; at sinaktan ng mga lalake ng Galaad ang Ephraim, sapagka't kanilang sinabi, Kayo'y mga tanan sa Ephraim, kayong mga Galaadita, sa gitna ng Ephraim, at sa gitna ng Manases.
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,”
At sinakop ng mga Galaadita ang mga tawiran sa Jordan sa dako ng mga Ephraimita. At nangyari, na pagkasinabi ng mga tanan sa Ephraim na, Paraanin mo ako, ay sinasabi ng mga lalake ng Galaad sa kaniya, Ikaw ba'y Ephraimita? Kung kaniyang sabihin, Hindi;
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.
Ay sinabi nga nila sa kaniya, Sabihin mong Shiboleth; at sinasabi niya, Shiboleth; sapagka't hindi matumpakang sabihing matuwid; kung magkagayo'y kanilang hinuhuli, at pinapatay sa mga tawiran ng Jordan: at nahulog nang panahong yaon sa Ephraim ay apat na pu't dalawang libo.
7 And so Jephthah, the Gileadite, judged Israel for six years. And he died, and he was buried in his city in Gilead.
At naghukom si Jephte sa Israel na anim na taon. Nang magkagayo'y namatay si Jephte na Galaadita, at inilibing sa isang bayan ng Galaad.
8 After him, Ibzan of Bethlehem judged Israel.
At pagkamatay niya, si Ibzan na taga Bethlehem ang naghukom sa Israel.
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.
At siya'y nagkaanak ng tatlong pung lalake, at ang tatlong pung anak na babae ay kaniyang ipinadala sa ibang bayan, at tatlong pung anak na babae ay kaniyang ipinasok mula sa ibang bayan para sa kaniyang mga anak na lalake. At naghukom siya sa Israel na pitong taon.
10 And he died, and he was buried in Bethlehem.
At si Ibzan ay namatay, at inilibing sa Bethlehem.
11 After him succeeded Elon, a Zebulunite. And he judged Israel for ten years.
At pagkamatay niya, si Elon na Zabulonita ang naghukom sa Israel; at naghukom siya sa Israel na sangpung taon.
12 And he died, and he was buried in Zebulun.
At si Elon na Zabulonita ay namatay, at inilibing sa Ajalon sa lupain ng Zabulon.
13 After him, Abdon, the son of Hillel, a Pirathonite, judged Israel.
At pagkamatay niya, si Abdon na anak ni Hillel na Piratonita ang naghukom sa Israel.
14 And he had forty sons, and from them thirty grandsons, all riding upon seventy young donkeys. And he judged Israel for eight years.
At siya'y nagkaroon ng apat na pung anak at tatlong pung apo na sumasakay sa pitong pung asno: at siya'y naghukom sa Israel na walong taon.
15 And he died, and he was buried at Pirathon, in the land of Ephraim, on the mountain of Amalek.
At si Abdon na anak ni Hillel na Piratonita ay namatay, at inilibing sa Piraton sa lupain ng Ephraim, sa lupaing maburol ng mga Amalecita.
