Judges 12
1 But behold there arose a sedition in Ephraim. And passing towards the north, they said to Jephte: When thou wentest to fight against the children of Ammon, why wouldst thou not call us, that we might go with thee? Therefore we will burn thy house.
Ephraim teh cungtalah king a kamkhueng awh. Zaphon pâtam hoi a cei awh teh, Jephthah koevah, bangkongmaw Ammonnaw tuk hanelah na kamthaw navah, kai hai na coun van hoe vaw. Na imnaw hmai ngeng na sawi pouh han atipouh.
2 And he answered them: I and my people were at great strife with the children of Ammon: and I called you to assist me, and you would not do it.
Jephthah ni ahnimouh koe Ammonnaw heh ka taminaw hoi atangcalah ka tuk awh. Na kaw awh navah, na kut dawk hoi na rungngang kalawn hoeh.
3 And when I saw this, I put my life in my own hands, and passed over against the children of Ammon, and the Lord delivered them into my hands. What have I deserved, that you should rise up to fight against me?
Hottelah nangmouh ni na rungngang hoeh toe tie ka panue toteh, due han hai pouk laipalah, Ammonnaw tuk hanlah ka cei awh. Hahoi BAWIPA ni ahnimanaw teh ka kut dawk na poe. Bangkongmaw kaimouh tuk hanelah sahnin vah na kamthaw awh vaw atipouh.
4 Then calling to him all the men of Galaad, he fought against Ephraim: and the men of Galaad defeated Ephraim, because he had said: Galaad is a fugitive of Ephraim, and dwelleth in the midst of Ephraim and Manasses.
Hahoi Jephthah ni Gileadnaw pueng a pâkhueng teh, Ephraim hah a tuk awh. Ephraim ni nangmouh teh Ephraim miphun, Manasseh miphunnaw dawk hoi na yawng awh teh, kathounghoehe miphun doeh telah Gilead miphunnaw hanlah ouk na pathoe awh dawkvah, Ephraim miphunnaw hah ka tuk awh.
5 And the Galaadites secured the fords of the Jordan, by which Ephraim was to return. And when any one of the number of Ephraim came thither in the flight, and said: I beseech you let me pass: the Galaadites said to him: Art thou not an Ephraimite? If he said: I am not:
Hahoi, Gileadnaw ni Jordan namran lah a pha hoehnahlan, Ephraim hah a man awh. Hahoi teh hettelah. Ephraim kayawngnaw ni na luen sak haw ati navah, Gileadnaw ni ahnimouh koe, Ephraim na ou, atipouh. Ahnimouh ni Ephraim nahoeh ati awh torei vah,
6 They asked him: Say then, Scibboleth, which is interpreted, An ear of corn. But he answered, Sibboleth, not being able to express an ear of corn by the same letter. Then presently they took him and killed him in the very passage of the Jordan. And there fell at that time of Ephraim two and forty thousand.
ahnimouh koe Shibboleth telah dei haw atipouh awh navah, ahnimanaw ni Sibboleth ati awh toteh, kacaicalah dei panuek awh hoeh. Telah hoiyah a man awh teh, Jordan tui rakanae koe a thei awh. Hot patetlah tui a rakanae koe Ephraim hah 42000 touh a thei awh.
7 And Jephte the Galaadite judged Israel six years: and he died, and was buried in his city of Galaad.
Hahoi Jephthah ni Isarel hah kum 6 touh a uk. Hahoi Gilead tami Jephthah teh a due. Ama kho Gilead kho vah a pakawp awh.
8 After him Abesan of Bethlehem judged Israel:
Ahni hnukkhu hoi Bethlehem tami Ibzan ni Isarel hah a uk.
9 He had thirty sons, and as many daughters, whom he sent abroad, and gave to husbands, and took wives for his sons of the same number, bringing them into his house. And he judged Israel seven years:
Ahni ni capa 30 touh a tawn teh a canu 30 touh ram alouklah a ceisak awh. Hahoi a capanaw hanlah ramlouk e canu 30 touh a la pouh. Isarel hah kum 7 touh a uk.
10 And he died, and was buried in Bethlehem.
Ibzan a due torei teh, Bethlehem vah a pakawp awh.
11 To him succeeded Ahialon a Zabulonite: and he judged Israel ten years:
Ahni hnukkhu hoi Zebulun tami Elon ni Isarel hah kum 10 touh thung a uk.
12 And he died, and was buried in Zabulon.
Zebulun tami Elon teh a due. Zebulun ram Aijalon vah a pakawp awh.
13 After him Abdon, the son of Illel, a Pharathonite, judged Israel:
Ahni hnukkhu Pirathon tami Hillel capa Abdon ni Isarel hah a uk.
14 And he had forty sons, and of them thirty grandsons, mounted upon seventy ass colts, and he judged Israel eight years:
Ahni ni capa 40 touh hoi minca 30 touh ao teh mincanaw teh la 70 touh dawk a kâcui awh. Ahni ni Isarel kum 8 touh thung a uk.
15 And he died, and was buried in Pharathon in the land of Ephraim, in the mount of Amalech.
Hahoi Pirathon tami Hillel capa Abdon teh a due. Ephraim ram, Ameleknaw e monsom Pirathon vah a pakawp awh.
