< 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.
Mwet Ephraim elos akola in mweun, na elos fahla sasla Infacl Jordan ac som nu Zaphon ac fahk nu sel Jephthah, “Efu ku kom som mweuni mwet Ammon ac tia suli kut? Kut ac esukak lohm sum an nu fom!”
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.
Na Jephthah el topuk ac fahk nu selos, “Nga ac mwet luk uh tuh oru alein na yohk se nu sin mwet Ammon, ac kut pangon kowos, tuh kowos tiana tuku kasrekut.
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?
Ke nga akilenak lah kowos ac tia kasreyu, nga pilesrala moul luk ac sifacna som ainulos, ac LEUM GOD El ase kutangla nu sik. Na efu ku kowos tuku in mweuniyu misenge?”
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.
Ke ma inge Jephthah el pangoneni mwet Gilead nukewa ac elos som mweuni mwet Ephraim ac kutangulosla. (Mweyen mwet Ephraim elos tuh fahk ouinge, “Kowos mwet Gilead su muta in acn Ephraim ac Manasseh, kowos mwet kaing liki kut tari!”)
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;
Mwet Gilead elos sruokya acn nukewa ma mwet uh muta ut we in alukela Infacl Jordan, tuh mwet Ephraim elos in kofla kaing ut we. Mwet Ephraim se fin srike in kaingla ac siyuk elan fahla ke sie sin acn inge, na mwet Gilead elos ac siyuk sel, “Kom mwet Ephraim se?” Na el fin fahk mu “Mo,”
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.
na elos ac sap elan fahk kas se inge, “Shibboleth.” Tuh el fin fahk “Sibboleth,” (ke sripen mwet Ephraim uh kofla fahkla suwohs kas sac) na mwet Gilead elos ac sruokya mwet sac ac unilya na insacn, ke soko sin inkanek in foroht forma ke Infacl Jordan. Mwet Ephraim angngaul luo tausin pa anwuki in pacl sac.
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.
Jephthah el kol mwet Israel ke yac onkosr. Na el misa, ac pukpuki el inkul sel sifacna in acn Gilead.
8 And after him there judged Israel Ibzan of Beth-lechem.
Tokol Jephthah, Ibzan mwet Bethlehem el kol 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.
Oasr wen tolngoul ac acn tolngoul natul. El sang acn natul inge in payuk sin mwet sayen sruf lal uh, ac use mutan fusr tolngoul liki sruf saya in payuk sin wen natul ah. Ibzan el tuh kol mwet Israel ke yac itkosr,
10 Then died Ibzan, and was buried at Beth-lechem.
na el misa, ac pukpuki el in acn Bethlehem.
11 And after him there judged Israel Elon the Zebulonite; and he judged Israel ten years.
Tokol Ibzan, Elon mwet Zebulun, el kol mwet Israel ke yac singoul.
12 Then died Elon the Zebulonite, and was buried in Ayalon in the country of Zebulun.
Na Elon el misa, ac pukpuki el in acn Aijalon in facl sin mwet Zebulun.
13 And after him there judged Israel 'Abdon the son of Hillel the Pir'athonite.
Tokol Elon, Abdon, wen natul Hillel mwet Pirathon, el kol mwet Israel.
14 And he had forty sons and thirty grandsons, that rode on seventy ass-colts; and he judged Israel eight years.
Oasr wen angngaul natul, ac wen tolngoul nutin wen natul su kasrusr fin donkey itngoul. El kol mwet Israel ke yac oalkosr.
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.
Na Abdon el misa, ac pukpuki el in acn Pirathon in facl sin mwet Ephraim, infulan eol ma mwet Amalek elos muta we.
