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.
Mutanen Efraim suka tattaro mayaƙansu, suka haye zuwa Zafon suka cewa Yefta, “Don me ka tafi ka yaƙi Ammonawa ba ka gayyace mu ba? Za mu ƙone gidanka a kanka.”
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.
Yefta ya ce, “Ni da mutanena mun yi ta jayayya sosai da Ammonawa, ko da yake na kira ku, amma ba ku cece ni daga hannuwansu ba.
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?
Da na ga ba za ku taimake ni ba, sai na yi kasai da raina na kuwa haye don in yaƙi Ammonawa, Ubangiji kuwa ya ba ni nasara a kansu. To, don me kuka zo yau don ku yaƙe ni?”
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.
Sa’an nan Yefta ya tara mutanen Gileyad wuri guda ya kuma yaƙi Efraim. Mutanen Gileyad suka fatattake su domin mutanen Efraim sun ce, “Ku Mutanen Gileyad masu neman mafaka ne cikin Efraim da Manasse.”
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:
Mutanen Gileyad suka ƙwace mashigan Urdun masu zuwa Efraim, duk sa’ad da wani daga Efraim da ya tsira ya ce, “Bari in haye,” sai mutane Gileyad su ce “Kai mutumin Efraim ne?” In ya ce, “A’a,”
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.
sai su ce, “To, ka ce, ‘Shibbolet.’” In ya ce, “Sibbolet,” saboda ba sa iya faɗin kalmar daidai, sai su kama shi su kashe a mashigan Urdun. Aka kashe mutanen Efraim dubu arba’in da biyu a ta haka.
7 And Jephte the Galaadite judged Israel six years: and he died, and was buried in his city of Galaad.
Yefta ya shugabanci Isra’ila shekara shida. Sa’an nan Yefta mutumin Gileyad ya mutu, aka kuwa binne shi wani gari a Gileyad.
8 After him Abesan of Bethlehem judged Israel:
Bayansa, Ibzan mutumin Betlehem, ya shugabanci Isra’ila.
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:
Yana’ya’ya maza talatin da’ya’ya mata talatin. Ya ba da auren’ya’yansa mata ga waɗanda ba daga dangi ba, ga’ya’yansa maza kuwa ya kawo’yan mata talatin su zama matansu waje da danginsa. Ibzan ya shugabanci Isra’ila shekara bakwai.
10 And he died, and was buried in Bethlehem.
Sa’an nan Ibzan ya mutu, aka kuwa binne shi Betlehem.
11 To him succeeded Ahialon a Zabulonite: and he judged Israel ten years:
Bayansa, Elon mutumin Zebulun, ya shugabanci Isra’ila shekara goma.
12 And he died, and was buried in Zabulon.
Sa’an nan Elon ya mutu, aka kuwa binne shi a Aiyalon a ƙasar Zebulun.
13 After him Abdon, the son of Illel, a Pharathonite, judged Israel:
Bayansa, Abdon ɗan Hillel, daga Firaton, ya shugabanci Isra’ila.
14 And he had forty sons, and of them thirty grandsons, mounted upon seventy ass colts, and he judged Israel eight years:
Yana da’ya’ya maza arba’in da’yan taɓa kunne talatin, waɗanda suka hau jakuna saba’in. Ya shugabanci Isra’ila shekara takwas.
15 And he died, and was buried in Pharathon in the land of Ephraim, in the mount of Amalech.
Sa’an nan Abdon ɗan Hillel ya mutu, aka kuwa binne shi a Firaton a Efraim, a ƙasar tudu ta Amalekawa.
