Judges 12

1 The men of Ephraim were gathered together, and passed northward; and they said to Jephthah, "Why did you pass over to fight against the people of Ammon, and did not call us to go with you? We will burn your house on you 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 Jephthah said to them, "I and my people had a dispute, and the people of Ammon were oppressing me greatly; and when I called you, you did not save me 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 When I saw that you did not save me, I put my life in my own hands, and passed over against the people of Ammon, and the LORD delivered them into my hand. Why then have you come up to 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 Jephthah gathered together all the men of Gilead, and fought with Ephraim; and the men of Gilead struck Ephraim, because they said, "You are fugitives of Ephraim, you Gileadites, in the midst of Ephraim, and in the midst of Manasseh."

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 The Gileadites took the fords of the Jordan against the Ephraimites. It was so, that when any of the fugitives of Ephraim said, "Let me go over," the men of Gilead said to him, "Are you an Ephraimite?" 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 they said to him, "Now say 'Shibboleth;'" and he said "Sibboleth"; for he couldn't manage to pronounce it right: then they seized him, and killed him at the fords of the Jordan. There fell at that time of Ephraim forty-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 Jephthah judged Israel six years. Then Jephthah the Gileadite died, and was buried in his city in Gilead.

Jephthah el kol mwet Israel ke yac onkosr. Na el misa, ac pukpuki el inkul sel sifacna in acn Gilead.

8 After him Ibzan of Bethlehem judged Israel.

Tokol Jephthah, Ibzan mwet Bethlehem el kol Israel.

9 He had thirty sons; and thirty daughters he sent abroad, and thirty daughters he brought in from abroad for his sons. 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 Ibzan died, and was buried at Bethlehem.

na el misa, ac pukpuki el in acn Bethlehem.

11 After him Elon the Zebulunite judged Israel; and he judged Israel ten years.

Tokol Ibzan, Elon mwet Zebulun, el kol mwet Israel ke yac singoul.

12 Elon the Zebulunite died, and was buried in Aijalon in the land of Zebulun.

Na Elon el misa, ac pukpuki el in acn Aijalon in facl sin mwet Zebulun.

13 After him Abdon the son of Hillel the Pirathonite judged Israel.

Tokol Elon, Abdon, wen natul Hillel mwet Pirathon, el kol mwet Israel.

14 He had forty sons and thirty grandsons who rode on seventy donkey 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 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.

Na Abdon el misa, ac pukpuki el in acn Pirathon in facl sin mwet Ephraim, infulan eol ma mwet Amalek elos muta we.
