Judges 12
1 And the men of Ephraim assembled [themselves], and passed on to the north, and said to Jephthae, Therefore did you go over to fight with the children of Ammon, and did not call us to go with you? we will burn your house over you with fire.
Efraim abusuakuw no boaboaa asraafo ano twa kɔɔ Safon. Wɔde nkra yi kɔmaa Yefta: “Adɛn nti na woansoma ammɛka ankyerɛ yɛn sɛ yɛmmɛboa mo nko ntia Amonfo? Yɛrebɛhyew wo ne wo fi nyinaa pasaa!”
2 And Jephthae said to them, I and my people and the children of Ammon were very much engaged in war; and I called for you, and you did not save me out of their hand.
Yefta buae se, “Mansotwe no mfiase no, mefrɛɛ mo, nanso moamma. Moammɛboa annye me wɔ Amonfo nsam.
3 And I saw that you were no helper, and I put my life in my hand, and passed on to the sons of Ammon; and the Lord delivered them into my hand: and therefore are you come up against me this day to fight with me?
Mede me nkwa too me nsam kɔkoe a monnka ho, nanso Awurade ma midii Amonfo so nkonim. Na adɛn nti na afei woaba sɛ wo ne me rebɛko?”
4 And Jephthae gathered all the men of Galaad, and fought with Ephraim; and the men of Galaad struck Ephraim, because they that were escaped of Ephraim said, You [are] of Galaad in the midst of Ephraim and in the midst of Manasse.
Efraimfo ntuanofo no buae se, “Gileadfo nyɛ nnipa biara sɛ aguanfo a wofi Efraim ne Manase.” Enti Yefta frɛɛ nʼakofo; wɔtow hyɛɛ Efraimfo so, dii wɔn so nkonim.
5 And Galaad took the fords of Jordan before Ephraim; and they that escaped of Ephraim said to them, Let us go over: and the men of Galaad said, Are you an Ephrathite? and he said, No.
Yefta ko faa Yordan aworoe so. Bere biara a oguanfo bi a ofi Efraim pɛ sɛ ɔfa hɔ guan kɔ nʼakyi no, Gileadfo no bisa no se, “Wufi Efraim abusua mu ana?” Sɛ ɔbarima no bua se, “Dabi” a,
6 Then they said to him, Say now Stachys; and he did not rightly pronounce it so: and they took him, and killed him at the fords of Jordan; and there fell at that time of Ephraim two and forty thousand.
wɔka kyerɛ no se, ɔnka “Sibolet.” Sɛ ofi Efraim a, ɔka, “Sibolet,” Efisɛ nnipa a wofi Efraim no ntumi nka saa asɛm no yiye. Sɛ ɛba saa a, na wɔakyere no akokum no wɔ Asubɔnten Yordan aworoe so hɔ. Enti Efraimfo mpem aduanan abien na wokunkum wɔn saa bere no.
7 And Jephthae judged Israel six years; and Jephthae the Galaadite died, and was buried in his city Galaad.
Yefta yɛɛ Israel so temmufo mfe asia. Owui no, wosiee no wɔ Gilead nkurow no baako so.
8 And after him Abaissan of Bethleem judged Israel.
Yefta akyi no, Ibsan na ɔbɛyɛɛ otemmufo wɔ Israel. Ɔtenaa Betlehem.
9 And he had thirty sons, and thirty daughters, whom he sent forth; and he brought in thirty daughters for his sons from without; and he judged Israel seven years.
Na ɔwɔ mmabarima aduasa ne mmabea nso aduasa. Ɔmaa ne mmabea no wareware fii mmusua foforo mu. Ne mmabarima no de, ɔfaa mmabun aduasa fii mmusua foforo mu ma wɔbɛwarewaree wɔn. Ibsan buu Israel atɛn mfe ason.
10 And Abaissan died, and was buried in Bethleem.
Owui no, wosiee no wɔ Betlehem.
11 And after him Aelom of Zabulon judged Israel ten years.
Ibsan akyi no, Elon a ofi Sebulon na ɔbɛyɛɛ otemmufo wɔ Israel. Obuu Israel atɛn mfe du.
12 And Aelom of Zabulon died, and was buried in Aelom in the land of Zabulon.
Bere a owui no, wosiee no wɔ Ayalon, Sebulon asase so.
13 And after him Abdon the son of Ellel, the Pharathonite, judged Israel.
Elon wu akyi no, Hilel babarima Abdon a ofi Piraton na ɔbɛyɛɛ otemmufo wɔ Israel.
14 And he had forty sons, and thirty grandsons, that rode upon seventy colts: and he judged Israel eight years.
Onyaa mmabarima aduanan ne nananom aduasa a na wɔn mu biara tena mfurum so. Ɔyɛɛ otemmufo wɔ Israel mfe awotwe.
15 And Abdon the son of Ellel, the Pharathonite, died, and was buried in Pharathon in the land of Ephraim in the mount of Amalec.
Owu ma wosiee no wɔ Piraton wɔ Efraim asase a ɛwɔ Amalekfo bepɔw asase no so.
