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."
Ary nivory ny lehilahy amin’ ny Efraima, dia nandeha nianavaratra ka nanao tamin’ i Jefta hoe: Nahoana no nandeha niady tamin’ ny taranak’ i Amona ianao ka tsy mba niantso anay hiaraka aminao? Hodoranay amin’ ny afo ny tranonao sy ianao.
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.
Fa hoy Jefta taminy: Izaho sy ny oloko efa nanana ady mafy tamin’ ny taranak’ i Amona; ary niantso anareo aho, fa tsy namonjy ahy tamin’ ny tànany ianareo.
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 YHWH delivered them into my hand. Why then have you come up to me this day, to fight against me?"
Ary rehefa hitako fa tsy namonjy ahy ianareo, dia nanao ny aiko tsy ho zavatra aho ka nandeha niady tamin’ ny taranak’ i Amona, ary natolotr’ i Jehovah teo an-tanako izy, koa nahoana ianareo no miakatra atỳ amiko anio hila ady amiko?
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."
Ary Jefta dia namory ny lehilahy rehetra amin’ ny Gileada ka niady tamin’ ny Efraima; ary dia namely ny Efraima ny lehilahy amin’ ny Gileada, satria hoy ireo: Hianareo Gileadita dia mpandositra avy amin’ ny Efraima ao amin’ ny taranak’ i Efraima sy Manase.
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";
Dia novonjen’ ny Gileada ny fitàna any Jordana mankany amin’ ny Efraima; ary nony niteny ny mpandositra avy amin’ ny Efraima nanao hoe: Aoka mba hita aho; dia hoy ny lehilahy amin’ ny Gileada taminy: Efraimita va ianao? ary raha hoy izy: Tsia,
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.
dia hoy izy ireo taminy: Tonony ary ny hoe Shiboleta; fa hoy kosa izy: Siboleta, satria tsy nahay nanonona izany marina izy. Dia nisambotra azy ireo ka namono azy teo amin’ ny fitàna ao Jordana; ary nahafatesana roa arivo sy efatra alina ny Efraimita tamin’ izany andro izany.
7 Jephthah judged Israel six years. Then Jephthah the Gileadite died, and was buried in his city in Gilead.
Dia nitsara ny Isiraely enin-taona Jefta. Ary maty Jefta Gileadita ka nalevina tao amin’ ny tanana anankiray any Gileada.
8 After him Ibzan of Bethlehem judged Israel.
Ary Ibzana, avy any Betlehema, no nitsara ny Isiraely nandimby an’ i Jefta.
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.
Ary izy nanana zanakalahy telo-polo sy zanakavavy telo-polo, izay nampanambadiny tany ivelany, ary zazavavy telo-polo kosa no nampidiriny ho an’ ny zananilahy. Ary nitsara ny Isiraely fito taona izy.
10 Ibzan died, and was buried at Bethlehem.
Dia maty Ibzana ka nalevina tany Betlehema.
11 After him Elon the Zebulunite judged Israel; and he judged Israel ten years.
Ary Elona Zebolonita no nitsara ny Isiraely nandimby azy; ary nitsara ny Isiraely folo taona izy.
12 Elon the Zebulunite died, and was buried in Aijalon in the land of Zebulun.
Dia maty Elona Zebolonita ka nalevina tany Aialona ao amin’ ny tanin’ ny Zebolona.
13 After him Abdon the son of Hillel the Pirathonite judged Israel.
Ary Abdona, zanak’ i Elela, avy any Piratona, no nitsara ny Isiraely nandimby azy.
14 He had forty sons and thirty grandsons who rode on seventy donkey colts. And he judged Israel eight years.
Ary nanana zanakalahy efa-polo sy zafy telo-polo izay nitaingina zana-boriky fito-polo izy, ary nitsara ny Isiraely valo taona.
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.
Dia maty Abdona, zanak’ i Elela, avy any Piratona, ka nalevina tany Piratona, any amin’ ny tanin’ ny Efraima any amin’ ny tany havoan’ ny Amalekita.
