< 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!”
एफ्राइमका मानिसहरूका निम्ति एउटा बोलावट आयो । तिनीहरू सापोनको बाटो गए र यिप्‍तालाई भने, “अम्मोनका मानिसहरूसँग युद्ध गर्न तिमी किन गयौ र तिमीसँगै जान हामीलाई तिमीले किन बोलाएनौ? हामी तिम्रो घरलाई तिमीसँगै जलाइदिनेछौं ।”
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.
यिप्‍ताले तिनीहरूलाई भने, “म र मेरा मानिसहरू अम्मोनका मानिहरूसँग ठुलो झगडामा थियौं । जब मैले तिमीहरूलाई बोलाएँ, तिमीहरूले मलाई तिनीहरूबाट बचाएनौ ।
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?”
तिमीहरूले मलाई बचाउन नआएको जब मैले देखें, तब मैले आफ्‍नो प्राणलाई आफ्नै हातमा राखें र आम्मोनका मानिसहरूका विरुद्धमा गएँ, र परमप्रभुले मलाई विजय दिनुभयो । तिमीहरू आज मेरो विरुद्धमा युद्ध लड्न किन आएका छौ?”
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.”
यिप्‍ताले गिलादका सबै मानिसहरूलाई भेला गराए र एफ्राइमको विरुद्ध युद्ध लडे । गिलादका मानिसहरूले एफ्राइमका मानिसहरूलाई आक्रमण गरे किनभने तिनीहरूले यसो भने, “तिमीहरू, गिलादीहरू एफ्राइम— एफ्राइम र मनश्शेमाबाट भागेर गएकाहरू हौ ।”
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,”
गिलादीहरूले एफ्राइमतर्फ जाने यर्दनका जँघारहरू कब्जा गरे । जब एफ्राइमका बाँचेकाहरूले यसो भने, “मलाई नदीपारि जान दिनुहोस्,” गिलादका मानिसहरूले त्यसलाई यस्तो भन्थे, “के तँ एफ्राइमी होस्?” त्यसले “होइनँ” भन्यो भने,
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.
अनि तिनीहरूले त्यसलाई भन्थे, “शिब्बोलेत भन्,” र उसले “सिब्बोलेत” भन्यो भने (किनकि उसले त्यो शब्द सही उच्‍चारण गर्न सक्दैनथियो), तब गिलादीहरूले त्यसलाई समाउँथे र उसलाई यर्दनको जँघारहरूमा मार्थे । त्यस बेला एफ्राइमका बयालिस हजार जना मारिए ।
7 Jephthah led Israel as judge for six years. Then he died and was buried in one of Gilead's towns.
यिप्‍ताले इस्राएलका न्यायकर्ता भएर छ वर्षसम्‍म सेवा गरे । तब गिलादी यिप्‍ता मरे र गिलादका सहरहरूमध्‍ये एउटा सहरमा दफन गरियो ।
8 After Jephthah, Ibzan of Bethlehem led Israel as a judge.
तिनीपछि, बेथलेहेमका इब्सानले इस्राएलमा न्यायकर्ताका रूपमा सेवा गरे ।
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.
तिनका तिस जना छोरा थिए । तिनले आफ्ना तिस जना छोरीहरूका विवाह गरिदिए, र आफ्ना छोराहरूका निम्ति बाहिरबाट अरू मानिसहरूका तिस जान छोरीहरू ल्याए । उनले सात वर्षसम्‍म इस्राएलको न्याय गरे ।
10 Then Ibzan died and was buried in Bethlehem.
इब्सान मरे र तिनलाई बेथलेहेममा दफन गरियो ।
11 After him, Elon the Zebulunite led Israel as judge for ten years.
तिनीपछि जबूलूनी एलोनले इस्राएलमा न्यायकर्ताका रूपमा सेवा गरे । उनले दश वर्षसम्‍म इस्राएलको न्याय गरे ।
12 Then he died and was buried at Aijalon in the territory of Zebulun.
जबूलूनी एलोन मरे र उनलाई जबूलून देशको अय्यालोनमा दफन गरियो ।
13 After him, Abdon, son of Hillel, from Pirathon, led Israel as judge.
तिनीपछि, पिरातोनी हिल्लेलका छोरा अब्दोनले इस्राएलमा न्यायकर्ताका रूपमा सेवा गरे ।
14 He had forty sons and thirty grandsons, who rode seventy donkeys. He led Israel as judge for eight years.
उनका चालिस छोरा र तिस नातिहरू थिए । तिनीहरू सत्तरीवटा गधाहरूमा सवार हुन्थे, र तिनले इस्राएलमा आठ वर्षसम्‍म न्याय गरे ।
15 Then he died and was buried at Pirathon in the territory of Ephraim, in the hill country of the Amalekites.
पिरातोनी हिल्लेलका छोरा अब्दोन मरे र तिनलाई अमालेकीहरूको पहाडी देशमा एफ्राइमको पिरातोन इलाकामा दफन गरियो ।
