< 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.
Bato ya Efrayimi basanganaki, bakatisaki na ngambo ya Tsafoni mpe balobaki na Jefite: — Mpo na nini okatisaki mondelo ya bato ya Amoni mpo na kobundisa bango, bongo obengaki biso te mpo ete tokende na yo elongo? Tokotumba yo elongo na ndako na yo!
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.
Jefite azongiselaki bango: — Ngai mpe bato na ngai, tozalaki na kobendana makasi na bato ya Amoni; mpe tango nabengaki bino, bokangolaki ngai te wuta na maboko na bango.
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?
Tango namonaki ete bokangoli na bino ngai te, nakabaki bomoi na ngai, mpe nakatisaki ngai moko nzela ya bato ya Amoni mpo na kobundisa bango; mpe Yawe apesaki ngai elonga likolo na bango. Sik’oyo, mpo na nini boyei lelo kobundisa ngai?
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.
Jefite asangisaki mibali nyonso ya Galadi, mpe babundisaki bato ya Efrayimi. Bato ya Galadi balongaki bato ya Efrayimi; mpe bato ya Efrayimi balobaki: « Bino bato ya Galadi, bozali na bino kaka bato oyo bokimaki wuta na Efrayimi mpe 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,
Bato ya Galadi bakangaki esika oyo bakatisaka Yordani na makolo, pene ya etuka ya Efrayimi. Mpe tango nyonso mokimi moko ya Efrayimi azalaki koloba: « Tika ngai nakatisa, » bato ya Galadi bazalaki kotuna ye: « Ozali moto ya Efrayimi? » Soki azongisi: « Te, »
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.
bazalaki kosenga ete aloba: « Shiboleti; » soki alobi: « Siboleti, » mpo ete akoki te koloba yango malamu, bazalaki kokanga ye mpe koboma ye na esika oyo bakatisaka Yordani na makolo. Na tango wana, babomaki bato ya Efrayimi nkoto tuku minei na mibale.
7 And Iphtah iudged Israel sixe yeere: then dyed Iphtah the Gileadite, and was buryed in one of the cities of Gilead.
Jefite, moto ya Galadi, akambaki Isalaele mibu motoba. Sima na yango, akufaki, mpe bakundaki ye kati na engumba moko ya Galadi.
8 After him Ibzan of Beth-lehem iudged Israel,
Sima na Jefite, Ibitsani, moto ya Beteleemi, akambaki Isalaele.
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.
Azalaki na bana mibali tuku misato mpe bana basi tuku misato. Abalisaki bana na ye ya basi na libanda ya libota ya botata na ye, mpe ayeisaki bilenge basi tuku misato ya bikolo mosusu mpo na bana na ye ya mibali. Ibitsani akambaki Isalaele mibu sambo.
10 Then Ibzan died, and was buryed at Bethlehem.
Ibitsani akufaki, mpe bakundaki ye kati na Beteleemi.
11 And after him iudged Israel Elon, a Zebulonite, and he iudged Israel tenne yeere.
Sima na Ibitsani, Eloni, moto ya libota ya Zabuloni, akambaki Isalaele mibu zomi.
12 Then Elon the Zebulonite dyed, and was buryed in Aijalon in the countrey of Zebulun.
Eloni akufaki, mpe bakundaki ye kati na mboka Ayaloni, kati na etuka ya Zabuloni.
13 And after him Abdon the sonne of Hillel the Pirathonite iudged Israel.
Sima na Eloni, Abidoni, mwana mobali ya Ileli, moto ya mokili ya Piratoni, akambaki Isalaele.
14 And he had fourty sonnes and thirtie nephewes that rode on seuentie assecoltes: and he iudged Israel eight yeeres.
Azalaki na bana mibali tuku minei mpe bakoko ya mibali tuku misato oyo babandaki kotambola likolo ya ba-ane tuku sambo. Akambaki Isalaele mibu mwambe.
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, mwana mobali ya Ileli, akufaki, mpe bakundaki ye na Piratoni, kati na etuka ya Efrayimi, na mokili ya bangomba ya bato ya Amaleki.
