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!”
Nifanontoñe o nte-Efraimeo naho nimb’e Tsafone mb’eo, nanao ty hoe amy Ieftake, Ino ty nitsaha’ areo mb’eo hialia’o amo nte-Amoneo f’ie tsy nitoka anay hindreza’ay? Ho forototoe’ay añ’ afo ama’o ty anjomba’o.
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.
Le hoe ty natoi’ Ieftake am’ iareo, Toe niampohek’ amo ana’ i Amoneo naho ondatiko iraho te nikanjy anahareo, f’ie tsy nañaro ahy am-pità’ iareo.
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?”
Aa kanao tsy narova’ areo le namoeako fiay nitsake mb’ amo ana’ i Amoneo mb’eo, vaho natolo’ Iehovà an-tañako. Aa le ino ty nitroara’ areo amako androany hialia’ areo?
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.”
Natonto’ Ieftake o lahilahi’ i Gilade iabio naho nialy amy Efraime; vaho linafa’ o nte-Giladeo t’i Efraime, ami’ty natao’ iareo ty hoe: Ondaty gike e Efraime nahareo nte Gilade añivo’ i Efraime naho i Menasè ao.
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,”
Rinambe’ o nte-Giladeo amy Efraime o fitsaha’ Iordaney boake Efraimeo, ie amy zao naho teo ty nipoliotse amo nte-Efraimeo nanao ty hoe: Ehe angao hitsake? Le nañontane aze o nte-Giladeo ty hoe: nte Efraime hao? Aa naho Tsie ty natao’e;
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.
le nanoe’ iareo ama’e ty hoe: Ano ty hoe: Sibolete, te mone nanao ty hoe Tsibolete—ie toe tsy nahafanoñoñe’e—le nitsepaheñe vaho vinono’ iareo amo fitsaha’ Iordaneio; nte Efraime efats’ ale-tsi-ro’ arivo ty nikorovoke henane zay.
7 Jephthah led Israel as judge for six years. Then he died and was buried in one of Gilead's towns.
Enen-taoñe ty nizakà’ Ieftake Israele, le nivilasy t’Ieftake nte-Gilade, vaho nalentek’ an-drova’ o nte-Giladeo.
8 After Jephthah, Ibzan of Bethlehem led Israel as a judge.
Nanonjohy aze, t’Ibtsane nte-Betlekheme nizaka Israele.
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.
Nanañ’ anadahy telo-polo re naho anak’ ampela telopolo naho naondra’e añe vaho nampimoahe’e boak’ añe ka ty anak’ ampela ho a o ana-dahi’eo. Nizaka Israele fito taoñe
10 Then Ibzan died and was buried in Bethlehem.
le nivilasy t’Ibtsane, vaho nalenteke e Betlekheme ao.
11 After him, Elon the Zebulunite led Israel as judge for ten years.
Ie añe le nizaka Israele folo taoñe t’i Elone nte-Zebolone.
12 Then he died and was buried at Aijalon in the territory of Zebulun.
Ie nihomake t’i Elone nte-Zebolone, le nalenteke Aialone an-tane Zebolone ao.
13 After him, Abdon, son of Hillel, from Pirathon, led Israel as judge.
Nanonjohy aze nizaka Israele t’i Abdone ana’ i Mpandrenge nte-Piratone.
14 He had forty sons and thirty grandsons, who rode seventy donkeys. He led Israel as judge for eight years.
Nanañ’ana-dahy efa-polo re naho afe telo-polo mpiningitse ana-borìke fitom-polo, nizaka valo taoñe.
15 Then he died and was buried at Pirathon in the territory of Ephraim, in the hill country of the Amalekites.
Nivilasy t’i Abdone ana’ i Mpandrenge nte-Piratone vaho nalenteke e Piratone an-tane Efraime am-bohi’ i Amaleke ao.
