Judges 12
1 And the me of Ephraim gathered themselues together, and went Northwarde, and saide vnto Iphtah, Wherefore wentest thou to fight against the children of Ammon, and diddest not call vs to goe with thee? we will therefore burne thine house vpon thee with fire.
Na rĩrĩ, andũ a Efiraimu magĩcookanĩrĩria ikundi ciao cia ita, na makĩringa mũrĩmo wa Zafoni makĩĩra Jefitha atĩrĩ, “Wathiire kũhũũrana na Aamoni na ndwatwĩtire tũthiĩ nawe nĩkĩ? Tũgũgũcina hamwe na nyũmba yaku.”
2 And Iphtah said vnto them, I and my people were at great strife with the children of Ammon, and when I called you, ye deliuered me not out of their handes.
Jefitha akĩmacookeria atĩrĩ, “Niĩ na andũ akwa tũraarĩ na kĩgiano kĩnene na Aamoni, na o na gũtuĩka nĩndetanire, inyuĩ mũtiahonokirie kuuma moko-inĩ mao.
3 So when I sawe that ye deliuered me not, I put my life in mine hands, and went vpon the children of Ammon: so the Lord deliuered them into mine handes. Wherefore then are ye come vpon me nowe to fight against me?
Rĩrĩa ndonire atĩ mũtindeithia-rĩ, ngĩĩtwarĩrĩra ũgwati-inĩ wa gĩkuũ, ngĩringa mũrĩmo ũũrĩa ũngĩ ngahũũrane na Aamoni, nake Jehova akĩĩhotanĩra kũrĩ o. Rĩu-rĩ, mũgĩũkĩte ũmũthĩ kũhũũrana na niĩ nĩkĩ?”
4 Then Iphtah gathered all the men of Gilead, and fought with Ephraim: and the men of Gilead smote Ephraim, because they said, Ye Gileadites are runnagates of Ephraim among the Ephraimites, and among the Manassites.
Jefitha agĩcookanĩrĩria andũ a Gileadi, makĩhũũrana na andũ a Efiraimu. Nao andũ a Gileadi makĩmahũũra mũno tondũ andũ a Efiraimu nĩmoigĩte atĩrĩ, “Inyuĩ Agileadi aya nĩ kũũra mworire kuuma kũrĩ Efiraimu na Manase.”
5 Also the Gileadites tooke the passages of Iorden before the Ephraimites, and when the Ephraimites that were escaped, saide, Let me passe, then the men of Gilead said vnto him, Art thou an Ephraimite? If he said, Nay,
Nao Agileadi makĩĩgwatĩra mariũko ma Rũũĩ rwa Jorodani marĩa maaringĩrĩire kũu Efiraimu, na rĩrĩa rĩothe mũndũ wa Efiraimu ũrĩa watigaire oiga atĩrĩ, “Reke ninge mũrĩmo ũrĩa ũngĩ,” Nao andũ a Gileadi makamũũria atĩrĩ, “Wee ũrĩ Mũefiraimu?” Nake angĩacookirie oige, “Aca,”
6 Then said they vnto him, Say nowe Shibboleth: and he said, Sibboleth: for he could not so pronounce: then they tooke him, and slewe him at the passages of Iorden: and there fel at that time of the Ephraimites two and fourtie thousand.
makamwĩra atĩrĩ, “Nĩ wega, kiuge, ‘Shibolethu’.” Nake angĩoigire, “Sibolethu,” tondũ ndangĩahotire kũgweta kiugo kĩu wega, makamũnyiita na makamũũragĩra kũu mariũko-inĩ ma Rũũĩ rwa Jorodani. Aefiraimu 42,000 makĩũragwo ihinda-inĩ rĩu.
7 And Iphtah iudged Israel sixe yeere: then dyed Iphtah the Gileadite, and was buryed in one of the cities of Gilead.
Jefitha agĩtiirĩrĩra Isiraeli mĩaka ĩtandatũ. Jefitha ũcio Mũgileadi agĩcooka agĩkua, na agĩthikwo itũũra-inĩ rĩmwe rĩa kũu Gileadi.
8 After him Ibzan of Beth-lehem iudged Israel,
Thuutha wake, Ibizani wa kũu Bethilehemu agĩtiirĩrĩra Isiraeli.
9 Who had thirtie sonnes and thirtie daughters, which he sent out, and tooke in thirtie daughters from abroade for his sonnes. and he iudged Israel seuen yeere.
Nake aarĩ na aanake mĩrongo ĩtatũ na airĩtu mĩrongo ĩtatũ. Akĩheana airĩtu ake mahikio nĩ arĩa maarĩ nja ya mũhĩrĩga wake, nao aanake ake akĩmarehere airĩtu mĩrongo ĩtatũ kuuma nja ya mũhĩrĩga wake matuĩke atumia ao. Ibizani agĩtiirĩrĩra Isiraeli mĩaka mũgwanja.
10 Then Ibzan died, and was buryed at Bethlehem.
Ibizani agĩcooka agĩkua, na agĩthikwo kũu Bethilehemu.
11 And after him iudged Israel Elon, a Zebulonite, and he iudged Israel tenne yeere.
Thuutha wake, Eloni ũrĩa Mũzebuluni agĩtiirĩrĩra Isiraeli mĩaka ikũmi.
12 Then Elon the Zebulonite dyed, and was buryed in Aijalon in the countrey of Zebulun.
Eloni agĩcooka agĩkua, na agĩthikwo kũu Aijaloni bũrũri-inĩ wa Zebuluni.
13 And after him Abdon the sonne of Hillel the Pirathonite iudged Israel.
Thuutha wake, Abidoni mũrũ wa Hileli, kuuma Pirathoni, agĩtiirĩrĩra Isiraeli.
14 And he had fourty sonnes and thirtie nephewes that rode on seuentie assecoltes: and he iudged Israel eight yeeres.
Nake aarĩ na aanake mĩrongo ĩna na ciana ciao mĩrongo ĩtatũ, nao maakuuagwo nĩ ndigiri mĩrongo mũgwanja. Agĩtiirĩrĩra Isiraeli mĩaka ĩnana.
15 Then dyed Abdon the sonne of Hillel the Pirathonite, and was buryed in Pirathon, in ye lande of Ephraim, in the Mount of the Amalekites.
Abidoni mũrũ wa Hileli agĩcooka agĩkua, agĩthikwo Pirathoni kũu Efiraimu, bũrũri ũrĩa ũrĩ irĩma wa Aamaleki.
