Judges 12
1 And the men of Ephraim were gathered together, and passed to Zaphon; and they said unto Jephthah: 'Wherefore didst thou pass over to fight against the children of Ammon, and didst not call us to go with thee? we will burn thy house upon thee with fire.'
Ary nivory ny lehilahy amin’ ny Efraima, dia nandeha nianavaratra ka nanao tamin’ i Jefta hoe: Nahoana no nandeha niady tamin’ ny taranak’ i Amona ianao ka tsy mba niantso anay hiaraka aminao? Hodoranay amin’ ny afo ny tranonao sy ianao.
2 And Jephthah said unto them: 'I and my people were at great strife with the children of Ammon; and when I called you, ye saved me not out of their hand.
Fa hoy Jefta taminy: Izaho sy ny oloko efa nanana ady mafy tamin’ ny taranak’ i Amona; ary niantso anareo aho, fa tsy namonjy ahy tamin’ ny tànany ianareo.
3 And when I saw that ye saved me not, I put my life in my hand, and passed over against the children of Ammon, and the LORD delivered them into my hand; wherefore then are ye come up unto me this day, to fight against me?'
Ary rehefa hitako fa tsy namonjy ahy ianareo, dia nanao ny aiko tsy ho zavatra aho ka nandeha niady tamin’ ny taranak’ i Amona, ary natolotr’ i Jehovah teo an-tanako izy, koa nahoana ianareo no miakatra atỳ amiko anio hila ady amiko?
4 Then Jephthah gathered together all the men of Gilead, and fought with Ephraim; and the men of Gilead smote Ephraim, because they said: 'Ye are fugitives of Ephraim, ye Gileadites, in the midst of Ephraim, and in the midst of Manasseh.'
Ary Jefta dia namory ny lehilahy rehetra amin’ ny Gileada ka niady tamin’ ny Efraima; ary dia namely ny Efraima ny lehilahy amin’ ny Gileada, satria hoy ireo: Hianareo Gileadita dia mpandositra avy amin’ ny Efraima ao amin’ ny taranak’ i Efraima sy Manase.
5 And the Gileadites took the fords of the Jordan against the Ephraimites; and it was so, that when any of the fugitives of Ephraim said: 'Let me go over,' the men of Gilead said unto him: 'Art thou an Ephraimite?' If he said: 'Nay';
Dia novonjen’ ny Gileada ny fitàna any Jordana mankany amin’ ny Efraima; ary nony niteny ny mpandositra avy amin’ ny Efraima nanao hoe: Aoka mba hita aho; dia hoy ny lehilahy amin’ ny Gileada taminy: Efraimita va ianao? ary raha hoy izy: Tsia,
6 then said they unto him: 'Say now Shibboleth'; and he said 'Sibboleth'; for he could not frame to pronounce it right; then they laid hold on him, and slew him at the fords of the Jordan; and there fell at that time of Ephraim forty and two thousand.
dia hoy izy ireo taminy: Tonony ary ny hoe Shiboleta; fa hoy kosa izy: Siboleta, satria tsy nahay nanonona izany marina izy. Dia nisambotra azy ireo ka namono azy teo amin’ ny fitàna ao Jordana; ary nahafatesana roa arivo sy efatra alina ny Efraimita tamin’ izany andro izany.
7 And Jephthah judged Israel six years. Then died Jephthah the Gileadite, and was buried in one of the cities of Gilead.
Dia nitsara ny Isiraely enin-taona Jefta. Ary maty Jefta Gileadita ka nalevina tao amin’ ny tanana anankiray any Gileada.
8 And after him Ibzan of Beth-lehem judged Israel.
Ary Ibzana, avy any Betlehema, no nitsara ny Isiraely nandimby an’ i Jefta.
9 And he had thirty sons, and thirty daughters he sent abroad, and thirty daughters he brought in from abroad for his sons. And he judged Israel seven years.
Ary izy nanana zanakalahy telo-polo sy zanakavavy telo-polo, izay nampanambadiny tany ivelany, ary zazavavy telo-polo kosa no nampidiriny ho an’ ny zananilahy. Ary nitsara ny Isiraely fito taona izy.
10 and Ibzan died, and was buried at Beth-lehem.
Dia maty Ibzana ka nalevina tany Betlehema.
11 And after him Elon the Zebulunite judged Israel; and he judged Israel ten years.
Ary Elona Zebolonita no nitsara ny Isiraely nandimby azy; ary nitsara ny Isiraely folo taona izy.
12 And Elon the Zebulunite died, and was buried in Aijalon in the land of Zebulun.
Dia maty Elona Zebolonita ka nalevina tany Aialona ao amin’ ny tanin’ ny Zebolona.
13 And after him Abdon the son of Hillel the Pirathonite judged Israel.
Ary Abdona, zanak’ i Elela, avy any Piratona, no nitsara ny Isiraely nandimby azy.
14 And he had forty sons and thirty sons' sons, that rode on threescore and ten ass colts; and he judged Israel eight years.
Ary nanana zanakalahy efa-polo sy zafy telo-polo izay nitaingina zana-boriky fito-polo izy, ary nitsara ny Isiraely valo taona.
15 And Abdon the son of Hillel the Pirathonite died, and was buried in Pirathon in the land of Ephraim, in the hill-country of the Amalekites.
Dia maty Abdona, zanak’ i Elela, avy any Piratona, ka nalevina tany Piratona, any amin’ ny tanin’ ny Efraima any amin’ ny tany havoan’ ny Amalekita.
