< Judges 12 >

1 And the men of Ephraim were called together, and went northward, and said unto Yiphthach, Wherefore didst thou pass over to fight against the children of 'Ammon, and didst not call for us to go with thee? thy house will we burn over thee with fire.
Jo-Efraim nochoko jolweny mage, ma gidhi Zafon kendo giwachone Jeftha niya, “Angʼo ma omiyo ne idhi kedo gi jo-Amon ma ok iluongowa mondo wadhi kodi? Wadhi wangʼo odi ka in e iye.”
2 And Yiphthach said unto them, I and my people were greatly engaged in strife with the children of 'Ammon; and I called you, but ye helped me not out of their hand.
Jeftha nodwoko niya, An kod joga ne wanie kedo mager gi jo-Amon, ne waluongou to ne utamoru biro resowa e lwetgi.
3 And when I saw that ye helped me not, I put my life in my hand, and passed over to the children of 'Ammon, and the Lord delivered them into my hand; and why then are ye come up unto me this day, to fight against me?
Kane aneno ni ok unyal konya, nakawo ngimana e lweta mi angʼado adhi mondo aked gi jo-Amon, kendo Jehova Nyasaye nomiya loch kuomgi. Koro, angʼoma omiyo ubiro kawuono mondo uked koda?
4 Then Yiphthach gathered together all the men of Gil'ad, and fought with Ephraim; and the men of Gil'ad smote Ephraim, because they said, Ye are fugitives of Ephraim: Gil'ad is in the midst, between Ephraim and Menasseh.
Omiyo Jeftha noluongo jo-Gilead duto mi gikedo gi jo-Efraim. Jo-Gilead nonegogi nikech jo-Efraim nosewacho niya, “Un jo-Gilead un mana jonjore mane oa Efraim gi Manase.”
5 And the Gil'adites seized on the passages of the Jordan before the Ephraimites: and it came to pass, when the Ephraimites who had escaped said, Let me pass over; that the men of Gil'ad said unto him, Art thou an Ephrathite? and if he said, No;
Jo-Gilead nomako kuonde miyorogo Jordan mondo jo-Efraim kik ngʼadi. Sa moro amora mane ja-Efraim dwaro ngʼado kanyo to ne okwayo ni yiene okadhi odhi loka cha. To kane okwayo kamano; to ja-Gilead ne penje ka bende en ja-Efraim. To kane odwoko ni ok en ja-Efraim,
6 Then said they unto him, Do say, Shibboleth; but when he said, Sibboleth, and was not able to pronounce it correctly, they laid hold of him and slew him on the passages of the Jordan; and there fell at that time of the Ephraimites forty and two thousand.
to negiwachone ni mondo owach ni Shiboleth. To kane ok onyal luongo wachno maber, mi oluonge mana ni Siboleth, to negimake mi ginege e dho wath miyorogo aora Jordan. Jo-Efraim alufu piero angʼwen gariyo nonegi odiechiengno.
7 And Yiphthach judged Israel six years; and then died Yiphthach the Gil'adite, and was buried in [one of] the cities of Gil'ad.
Jeftha notelo ne jo-Israel kuom higni auchiel. Bangʼe Jeftha ma ja-Gilead notho, mi noyike e dalane man Gilead.
8 And after him there judged Israel Ibzan of Beth-lechem.
Bangʼ Jeftha, Ibzan ja-Bethlehem notelo ne jo-Israel.
9 And he had thirty sons; and thirty daughters he sent abroad, and thirty daughters he brought in for his sons from abroad: and he judged Israel seven years.
Ne en-gi yawuowi piero adek kod nyiri piero adek. Nochiwo nyige monywom gi joma oko ma ok anywolane, to ne yawuote nokelonegi mon matindo obedo mondegi koa oko mar anywolane. Ibzan notelo ne Israel kuom higni abiriyo.
10 Then died Ibzan, and was buried at Beth-lechem.
Bangʼe Ibzan notho, kendo noyike Bethlehem.
11 And after him there judged Israel Elon the Zebulonite; and he judged Israel ten years.
Bangʼ Ibzan, Elon ja-Zebulun notelo ne Israel kuom higni apar.
12 Then died Elon the Zebulonite, and was buried in Ayalon in the country of Zebulun.
Eka Elon notho, kendo noyike Aijalon mantiere e piny Zebulun.
13 And after him there judged Israel 'Abdon the son of Hillel the Pir'athonite.
Bangʼ Elon, Abdon wuod Hillel, moa Pirathon, notelo ne Israel.
14 And he had forty sons and thirty grandsons, that rode on seventy ass-colts; and he judged Israel eight years.
Ne en-gi yawuowi piero angʼwen kod nyikwayo ma yawuowi piero adek, mane nigi punde piero abiriyo ma giidho. Notelo ne Israel kuom higni aboro.
15 Then died 'Abdon the son of Hillel the Pir'athonite, and was buried in Pir'athon in the land of Ephraim, in the mountain of the 'Amalekites.
Eka Abdon wuod Hillel notho, kendo noyike Pirathon man Efraim, e piny got mar jo-Amalek.
