< Judges 12 >

1 Then the Ephraimites were called up and crossed the Jordan to Zaphon. They said to Jephthah, “Why did you go and fight the Ammonites without summoning us to go with you? We're going to burn your house down with you inside it!”
Napaayaban dagiti lallaki iti Efraim; limmasatda iti Safon ket kinunada kenni Jefte, “Apay a limmasatka a makiranget kadagiti tattao ti Ammon ket saannakami nga inayaban a kumuyog kenka? Iramandaka iti balaymo a puoran.”
2 “I was a man with a great fight on my hands,” Jephthah replied. “I and my people were fighting the Ammonites. When I called on you for help, you didn't come and help save me from them.
Kinuna ni Jefte kadakuada, “Siak ken dagiti tattaok ket adda nakaro a saanmi a pagkikinnaawatan kadagiti tattao ti Ammon. Idi immawagak kadakayo, saandak nga inispal manipud kadakuada.
3 When I realized that you weren't going to help, I took my life in my hands and went to fight the Ammonites, and the Lord made me victorious over them. So why have you come here today to attack me?”
Idi nakitak a saandak nga ispalen, impustak ti biagko ket rinautko dagiti tattao ti Ammon, ket pinagballiginak ni Yahweh. Apay nga immaykayo tapno makiranget kaniak ita nga aldaw?”
4 Jephthah summoned all of the men of Gilead and fought against the Ephraimites. The men of Gilead killed them because the Ephraimites taunted them, saying, “You Gileadites are nothing more than escapees living among Ephraim and Manasseh.”
Inummong ni Jefte dagiti amin a lallaki iti Galaad ket kinarangetna ti Efraim. Rinaut dagiti lallaki iti Galaad dagiti lallaki iti Efraim gapu ta kinunada, “Dakayo a taga-Galaad ket dagiti naglibas nga aglemlemmeng iti Efraim-iti Efraim ken Manases.”
5 The Gileadites took control of the fords over the Jordan River that led to Ephraim's territory, and when an Ephraimite escapee from the battle would come and ask, “Let me cross over,” the Gileadites would question him, “Are you an Ephraimite?” If he answered, “No,”
Sinakup dagiti taga-Galaad dagiti pagballasiwan iti Jordan nga agturong iti Efraim. Ket no adda siasinoman kadagiti nakalasat iti Efraim ti agkuna, “Palubosandak a bumallasiw iti karayan,” ibaga dagiti lallaki iti Galaad kenkuana, “Taga-Efraim ka kadi? No kunana a, “Saan,”
6 they would tell him, “Say Shibboleth.” If he was from Ephraim he would say “Sibboleth” because he couldn't pronounce it right, and they'd grab him and kill him there at the Jordan fords. A total of 42,000 were killed at that time.
ket ibagada kenkuana, “Ibalikasmo ti: Shibbolet.” Ket no kunana a “Sibboleth” (ta saanna a maibalikas nga usto ti sao), tiliwen ken papatayen dagiti taga-Galaad isuna idiay pagballasiwan iti Jordan. Uppat a pulo ket dua a ribu a taga-Efraim ti napapatay iti dayta a tiempo.
7 Jephthah led Israel as judge for six years. Then he died and was buried in one of Gilead's towns.
Nagserbi ni Jefte a kas ukom iti Israel iti innem a tawen. Kalpasanna, natay ni Jefte a taga-Galaad ket naitanem iti maysa kadagiti siudad iti Galaad.
8 After Jephthah, Ibzan of Bethlehem led Israel as a judge.
Idi natay isuna, simmukat kenkuana ni Ibzan a taga Betlehem a nagserbi a kas ukom iti entero nga Israel.
9 He had thirty sons and thirty daughters. He married off his daughters to men of other tribes, and he brought in thirty wives from other tribes to marry his sons. Ibzan led Israel as judge for seven years.
Adda tallopulo a putotna a lallaki. Impaasawana dagiti tallopulo a putotna a babbai, ken nangala isuna manipud iti ruar iti tallopulo a putot a babbai dagiti dadduma a lallaki nga agpaay kadagiti putotna a lallaki. Nagbalin isuna nga ukom iti Israel iti pito a tawen.
10 Then Ibzan died and was buried in Bethlehem.
Natay ni Ibzan ket naitanem idiay Betlehem.
11 After him, Elon the Zebulunite led Israel as judge for ten years.
Simmukat kenkuana ni Elon a taga-Zabulon a nagserbi a kas ukom iti entero nga Israel. Nagbalin isuna nga ukom ti Israel iti sangapulo a tawen.
12 Then he died and was buried at Aijalon in the territory of Zebulun.
Natay ni Elon a Zabulonita ket naitanem idiay Aijalon, iti daga ti Zabulon.
13 After him, Abdon, son of Hillel, from Pirathon, led Israel as judge.
Simmukat kenkuana ni Abdon a putot ni Hillel a taga-Piraton a nagserbi a kas ukom iti entero nga Israel.
14 He had forty sons and thirty grandsons, who rode seventy donkeys. He led Israel as judge for eight years.
Adda uppat a pulo a putotna a lallaki ken tallopulo nga appoko a lallaki. Nakasakayda iti pitopulo nga asno, ket nagbalin isuna nga ukom iti Israel iti walo a tawen.
15 Then he died and was buried at Pirathon in the territory of Ephraim, in the hill country of the Amalekites.
Natay ni Abdon a putot ni Hillel a taga-Piraton ket naitanem idiay Piraton iti daga ti Efraim, iti katurturodan a pagilian dagiti Amalekita.
