Judges 12
1 And the men of Ephraim were called together, and passed over northwards, and said to Jephthah, Why didst thou pass over to fight against the children of Ammon, and didst not call us to go with thee? We will burn thy house upon thee with fire.
Bato ya Efrayimi basanganaki, bakatisaki na ngambo ya Tsafoni mpe balobaki na Jefite: — Mpo na nini okatisaki mondelo ya bato ya Amoni mpo na kobundisa bango, bongo obengaki biso te mpo ete tokende na yo elongo? Tokotumba yo elongo na ndako na yo!
2 And Jephthah said to them, I was at great strife, I and my people, with the children of Ammon; and I called you, but ye saved me not out of their hand.
Jefite azongiselaki bango: — Ngai mpe bato na ngai, tozalaki na kobendana makasi na bato ya Amoni; mpe tango nabengaki bino, bokangolaki ngai te wuta na maboko na bango.
3 And when I saw that ye would not save me, I put my life in my hand, and passed over against the children of Ammon, and Jehovah gave them into my hand. Why then are ye come up to me this day, to fight against me?
Tango namonaki ete bokangoli na bino ngai te, nakabaki bomoi na ngai, mpe nakatisaki ngai moko nzela ya bato ya Amoni mpo na kobundisa bango; mpe Yawe apesaki ngai elonga likolo na bango. Sik’oyo, mpo na nini boyei lelo kobundisa ngai?
4 And Jephthah gathered together all the men of Gilead, and fought with Ephraim; and the men of Gilead smote Ephraim, because they said, Ye, Gilead, ye are fugitives of Ephraim in the midst of Ephraim, [and] in the midst of Manasseh.
Jefite asangisaki mibali nyonso ya Galadi, mpe babundisaki bato ya Efrayimi. Bato ya Galadi balongaki bato ya Efrayimi; mpe bato ya Efrayimi balobaki: « Bino bato ya Galadi, bozali na bino kaka bato oyo bokimaki wuta na Efrayimi mpe na Manase. »
5 And Gilead took the fords of the Jordan before Ephraim; and it came to pass that when the fugitives of Ephraim said, Let me go over, the men of Gilead said to him, Art thou an Ephraimite? and he said, No.
Bato ya Galadi bakangaki esika oyo bakatisaka Yordani na makolo, pene ya etuka ya Efrayimi. Mpe tango nyonso mokimi moko ya Efrayimi azalaki koloba: « Tika ngai nakatisa, » bato ya Galadi bazalaki kotuna ye: « Ozali moto ya Efrayimi? » Soki azongisi: « Te, »
6 Then they said to him, Say now Shibboleth! and he said, Sibboleth, and did not manage to pronounce [it] rightly. Then they took him, and slaughtered him at the fords of the Jordan. And there fell at that time of Ephraim forty-two thousand.
bazalaki kosenga ete aloba: « Shiboleti; » soki alobi: « Siboleti, » mpo ete akoki te koloba yango malamu, bazalaki kokanga ye mpe koboma ye na esika oyo bakatisaka Yordani na makolo. Na tango wana, babomaki bato ya Efrayimi nkoto tuku minei na mibale.
7 And Jephthah judged Israel six years. And Jephthah the Gileadite died, and was buried in [one of] the cities of Gilead.
Jefite, moto ya Galadi, akambaki Isalaele mibu motoba. Sima na yango, akufaki, mpe bakundaki ye kati na engumba moko ya Galadi.
8 And after him Ibzan of Bethlehem judged Israel.
Sima na Jefite, Ibitsani, moto ya Beteleemi, akambaki Isalaele.
9 And he had thirty sons; and thirty daughters he sent out of the house, and thirty daughters he took in from abroad for his sons. And he judged Israel seven years.
Azalaki na bana mibali tuku misato mpe bana basi tuku misato. Abalisaki bana na ye ya basi na libanda ya libota ya botata na ye, mpe ayeisaki bilenge basi tuku misato ya bikolo mosusu mpo na bana na ye ya mibali. Ibitsani akambaki Isalaele mibu sambo.
10 And Ibzan died, and was buried at Bethlehem.
Ibitsani akufaki, mpe bakundaki ye kati na Beteleemi.
11 And after him Elon, the Zebulonite, judged Israel; and he judged Israel ten years.
Sima na Ibitsani, Eloni, moto ya libota ya Zabuloni, akambaki Isalaele mibu zomi.
12 And Elon the Zebulonite died, and was buried in Ajalon in the land of Zebulun.
Eloni akufaki, mpe bakundaki ye kati na mboka Ayaloni, kati na etuka ya Zabuloni.
13 And after him Abdon the son of Hillel, the Pirathonite, judged Israel.
Sima na Eloni, Abidoni, mwana mobali ya Ileli, moto ya mokili ya Piratoni, akambaki Isalaele.
14 And he had forty sons and thirty grandsons, who rode on seventy ass colts. And he judged Israel eight years.
Azalaki na bana mibali tuku minei mpe bakoko ya mibali tuku misato oyo babandaki kotambola likolo ya ba-ane tuku sambo. Akambaki Isalaele mibu mwambe.
15 And Abdon the son of Hillel, the Pirathonite, died, and was buried in Pirathon in the land of Ephraim, in the hill-country of the Amalekites.
Abidoni, mwana mobali ya Ileli, akufaki, mpe bakundaki ye na Piratoni, kati na etuka ya Efrayimi, na mokili ya bangomba ya bato ya Amaleki.
