< 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."
Nifanontoñe o nte-Efraimeo naho nimb’e Tsafone mb’eo, nanao ty hoe amy Ieftake, Ino ty nitsaha’ areo mb’eo hialia’o amo nte-Amoneo f’ie tsy nitoka anay hindreza’ay? Ho forototoe’ay añ’ afo ama’o ty anjomba’o.
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.
Le hoe ty natoi’ Ieftake am’ iareo, Toe niampohek’ amo ana’ i Amoneo naho ondatiko iraho te nikanjy anahareo, f’ie tsy nañaro ahy am-pità’ iareo.
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 Jehovah delivered them into my hand. Why then have you come up to me this day, to fight against me?"
Aa kanao tsy narova’ areo le namoeako fiay nitsake mb’ amo ana’ i Amoneo mb’eo, vaho natolo’ Iehovà an-tañako. Aa le ino ty nitroara’ areo amako androany hialia’ areo?
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."
Natonto’ Ieftake o lahilahi’ i Gilade iabio naho nialy amy Efraime; vaho linafa’ o nte-Giladeo t’i Efraime, ami’ty natao’ iareo ty hoe: Ondaty gike e Efraime nahareo nte Gilade añivo’ i Efraime naho i Menasè ao.
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";
Rinambe’ o nte-Giladeo amy Efraime o fitsaha’ Iordaney boake Efraimeo, ie amy zao naho teo ty nipoliotse amo nte-Efraimeo nanao ty hoe: Ehe angao hi­tsake? Le nañontane aze o nte-Giladeo ty hoe: nte Efraime hao? Aa naho Tsie ty natao’e;
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.
le nanoe’ iareo ama’e ty hoe: Ano ty hoe: Sibolete, te mone nanao ty hoe Tsibolete—ie toe tsy nahafanoñoñe’e—le nitsepaheñe vaho vinono’ iareo amo fitsaha’ Iordaneio; nte Efraime efats’ ale-tsi-ro’ arivo ty nikorovoke henane zay.
7 Jephthah judged Israel six years. Then Jephthah the Gileadite died, and was buried in his city in Gilead.
Enen-taoñe ty nizakà’ Ieftake Israele, le nivilasy t’Ieftake nte-Gilade, vaho nalentek’ an-drova’ o nte-Giladeo.
8 After him Ibzan of Bethlehem judged Israel.
Nanonjohy aze, t’Ibtsane nte-Betlekheme nizaka ­Israele.
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.
Nanañ’ anadahy telo-polo re naho anak’ ampela telopolo naho naondra’e añe vaho nampimoahe’e boak’ añe ka ty anak’ ampela ho a o ana-dahi’eo. Nizaka Israele fito taoñe
10 Ibzan died, and was buried at Bethlehem.
le nivilasy t’Ib­tsane, vaho nalenteke e Betlekheme ao.
11 After him Elon the Zebulunite judged Israel; and he judged Israel ten years.
Ie añe le nizaka Israele folo taoñe t’i Elone nte-Zebolone.
12 Elon the Zebulunite died, and was buried in Aijalon in the land of Zebulun.
Ie nihomake t’i Elone nte-Zebolone, le nalenteke Aialone an-tane Zebolone ao.
13 After him Abdon the son of Hillel the Pirathonite judged Israel.
Nanonjohy aze nizaka Israele t’i Abdone ana’ i Mpandrenge nte-Piratone.
14 He had forty sons and thirty grandsons who rode on seventy donkey colts. And he judged Israel eight years.
Nanañ’ana-dahy efa-polo re naho afe telo-polo mpiningitse ana-borìke fitom-polo, nizaka valo taoñe.
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.
Nivilasy t’i Abdone ana’ i Mpandrenge nte-Piratone vaho nalenteke e Piratone an-tane Efraime am-bohi’ i Amaleke ao.
