Judges 12
1 And the men of Ephraim are called together, and pass over northward, and say to Jephthah, “Why have you passed over to fight against the sons of Ammon, and have not called on us to go with you? We burn your house with fire over you.”
Hiche jouchun Ephraim mipihon asepaiteu achom khommun Jordan vadung apal galkaijun Zaphon geijin acheuvin Jepthah kommah thupo leho thu athotnun hitin aseijun ahi, “Ammon mitetoh kisat dinga nakon uva chu ipi dinga neihin koulou uham? Nanghi na intoh kahallhah thading nahi” atiuvin ahi.
2 And Jephthah says to them, “I have been a man of great strife (I and my people) with the sons of Ammon, and I call you, and you have not saved me out of their hand,
Jepthah in amaho chu adonbut in, “Boina ahung kipat chun nangho kahin kouve, ahinla nangho nahung pouvin ahi!
3 and I see that you are not a savior, and I put my life in my hand, and pass over to the sons of Ammon, and YHWH gives them into my hand—and why have you come up to me this day to fight against me?”
Hitiahi nangho nahung nomlou kahetdoh phatnin, hinkho phalngam in nangho pang louvin galmunna hin kachen Pakaiyin Ammon mite chunga hin galjona eipetan ahi. Ahile tuahi ipi dinga keima to kisat dinga nahung jenguham?” atin ahi.
4 And Jephthah gathered all the men of Gilead, and fights with Ephraim, and the men of Gilead strike Ephraim, because they said, “You Gileadites [are] fugitives of Ephraim, in the midst of Ephraim—in the midst of Manasseh.”
Nangho Gilead mitehi imacha hilou Ephraim le Manesseh a konna jamdoh ho maimai nahilouvu ham?” atiuve. Hijouchun Jepthah in Gilead mite jouse chu aloikhom’in Ephraim mite chu akisatpin ajoutan ahi.
5 And Gilead captures the passages of the Jordan to Ephraim, and it has been, when [any of] the fugitives of Ephraim say, “Let me pass over,” and the men of Gilead say to him, “[Are] you an Ephraimite?” And he says, “No”;
Jepthah in Jordan vadung palmun chu alokhum’in Ephraim’a konna jamdoh khattou chu akinungle a hiche munhi ahinpal gotleh Gilead mihochun “Ephraim phungmi nahim?” tin adong jiuvin, kahipoi atiuleh,
6 that they say to him, “Now say, Shibboleth”; and he says, “Sibboleth,” and is not prepared to speak right—and they seize him, and slaughter him at the passages of the Jordan, and there fall at that time, of Ephraim, forty-two chiefs.
Amahon “Shebboleth” ti-in atiuvin, amachu Ephraim mi ahileh “Shebboleth’’ atidiu ahi, ajeh chu Ephraim miten hiche thucheng hi adih a aseitheiji louvu ahi. Hiteng chuleh amahon apuidoh uva Jordan kaimun’a chu athajiu ahi. Hiche phat laichun Ephraim techu sangsomli le ni ana thatnun ahi.
7 And Jephthah judged Israel [for] six years, and Jephthah the Gileadite dies, and is buried in [one of] the cities of Gilead.
Jepthah in Israel te chunga anavaihom nachu kum gup alhingin ahi. Ama athi chun Gilead gamsunga ama khopia anavui un ahi.
8 And after him Ibzan of Beth-Lehem judges Israel,

9 and he has thirty sons, and thirty daughters he gave away [in marriage], and thirty daughters he brought in from outside for his sons; and he judges Israel [for] seven years.

15 And Abdon son of Hillel, the Pirathonite, dies, and is buried in Pirathon, in the land of Ephraim, in the hill-country of the Amalekite.
Ama athi phatnin Amalekte thinglhang gam Ephraim sunga um Pirathon’ah ana vuijun ahi.
