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!”
At ang mga lalake ng Ephraim ay nagpipisan at nagdaan sa dakong hilagaan: at sinabi nila kay Jephte, Bakit ka nagpatuloy na lumaban sa mga anak ni Ammon, at hindi mo kami tinawag upang yumaong kasama mo? susunugin ka namin pati ng iyong bahay.
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.
At sinabi ni Jephte sa kanila, Ako at ang aking bayan ay totoong nakipaglaban sa mga anak ni Ammon; at nang tawagan ko kayo ay hindi ninyo ako iniligtas sa kanilang kamay.
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?”
At nang makita ko na ako'y hindi ninyo iniligtas ay aking inilagak ang aking buhay sa aking kamay, at ako'y nagdaan laban sa mga anak ni Ammon, at sila'y ibinigay ng Panginoon sa aking kamay: bakit nga inahon ninyo ako sa araw na ito, upang makipaglaban sa akin?
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.”
Nang magkagayo'y pinisan ni Jephte ang mga lalake sa Galaad, at nakipaglaban sa Ephraim; at sinaktan ng mga lalake ng Galaad ang Ephraim, sapagka't kanilang sinabi, Kayo'y mga tanan sa Ephraim, kayong mga Galaadita, sa gitna ng Ephraim, at sa gitna ng 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,”
At sinakop ng mga Galaadita ang mga tawiran sa Jordan sa dako ng mga Ephraimita. At nangyari, na pagkasinabi ng mga tanan sa Ephraim na, Paraanin mo ako, ay sinasabi ng mga lalake ng Galaad sa kaniya, Ikaw ba'y Ephraimita? Kung kaniyang sabihin, Hindi;
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.
Ay sinabi nga nila sa kaniya, Sabihin mong Shiboleth; at sinasabi niya, Shiboleth; sapagka't hindi matumpakang sabihing matuwid; kung magkagayo'y kanilang hinuhuli, at pinapatay sa mga tawiran ng Jordan: at nahulog nang panahong yaon sa Ephraim ay apat na pu't dalawang libo.
7 Jephthah led Israel as judge for six years. Then he died and was buried in one of Gilead's towns.
At naghukom si Jephte sa Israel na anim na taon. Nang magkagayo'y namatay si Jephte na Galaadita, at inilibing sa isang bayan ng Galaad.
8 After Jephthah, Ibzan of Bethlehem led Israel as a judge.
At pagkamatay niya, si Ibzan na taga Bethlehem ang naghukom sa 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.
At siya'y nagkaanak ng tatlong pung lalake, at ang tatlong pung anak na babae ay kaniyang ipinadala sa ibang bayan, at tatlong pung anak na babae ay kaniyang ipinasok mula sa ibang bayan para sa kaniyang mga anak na lalake. At naghukom siya sa Israel na pitong taon.
10 Then Ibzan died and was buried in Bethlehem.
At si Ibzan ay namatay, at inilibing sa Bethlehem.
11 After him, Elon the Zebulunite led Israel as judge for ten years.
At pagkamatay niya, si Elon na Zabulonita ang naghukom sa Israel; at naghukom siya sa Israel na sangpung taon.
12 Then he died and was buried at Aijalon in the territory of Zebulun.
At si Elon na Zabulonita ay namatay, at inilibing sa Ajalon sa lupain ng Zabulon.
13 After him, Abdon, son of Hillel, from Pirathon, led Israel as judge.
At pagkamatay niya, si Abdon na anak ni Hillel na Piratonita ang naghukom sa Israel.
14 He had forty sons and thirty grandsons, who rode seventy donkeys. He led Israel as judge for eight years.
At siya'y nagkaroon ng apat na pung anak at tatlong pung apo na sumasakay sa pitong pung asno: at siya'y naghukom sa Israel na walong taon.
15 Then he died and was buried at Pirathon in the territory of Ephraim, in the hill country of the Amalekites.
At si Abdon na anak ni Hillel na Piratonita ay namatay, at inilibing sa Piraton sa lupain ng Ephraim, sa lupaing maburol ng mga Amalecita.
