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."

Na ka huihuia nga tangata o Eparaima, a ka haere ki te raki, ka mea ki a Iepeta, He aha koe i haere ai ki te whawhai ki nga tamariki a Amona, a kihai i karanga i a matou kia haere tahi tatou? ka tahuna e matou tou whare i runga i a koe ki te ahi.

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 ka mea a Iepeta ki a ratou, He nui ta matou whawhai ko toku iwi ki nga tamariki a Amona; a i taku karangatanga atu ki a koutou, kihai koutou i whakaora i ahau i roto i to ratou ringa.

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?"

A, no toku kitenga kihai koutou i whakaora i ahau, whakamomori atu ana ahau ki te mate, a haere ana ki nga tamariki a Amona, na homai ana ratou e Ihowa ki toku ringa: a he aha ra koutou i haere mai ai ki ahau inaianei, whawhai ai?

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."

Katahi ka huihuia e Iepeta nga tangata katoa o Kireara, a ka whawhai ki a Eparaima: a patua iho a Eparaima e nga tangata o Kireara, mo ta ratou ki, He rerenga koutou, e nga Kireari, no Eparaima, i roto i nga Eparaimi, i roto i nga Manahi.

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";

Na ka nohoia e nga Kireari nga whitinga mo nga Eparaimi i Horano, a, i te meatanga a nga rerenga o nga Eparaimi, Kia whiti atu ahau; na ka mea nga tangata o Kireara ki a ia, No Eparaima koe? A no tana kianga, Kahore;

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.

Katahi ratou ka mea ki a ia, Tena, whakahuatia, Hiporete: na ko tana meatanga, Iporete: kahore hoki i taea e ia te tikanga o te whakahua. Na hopukia ana ia e ratou, a patua iho ki nga whitinga o Horano: A e wha tekau ma rua mano o nga Eparaimi i hinga i taua wa.

7 Jephthah judged Israel six years. Then Jephthah the Gileadite died, and was buried in his city in Gilead.

A e ono nga tau i whakarite ai a Iepeta mo Iharaira. Na ka mate a Iepeta Kireari, a tanumia ana ki tetahi o nga pa o Kireara.

8 After him Ibzan of Bethlehem judged Israel.

A i muri i a ia na Ipitana i whakarite a Iharaira; no Peterehema ia.

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.

A e toru tekau ana tama, e toru tekau hoki ana tamahine; ko enei i tonoa e ia ki waho, e toru tekau ano hoki nga tamahine i tangohia mai e ia i waho ma ana tama. A e whitu nga tau i whakarite ai ia mo Iharaira.

10 Ibzan died, and was buried at Bethlehem.

Na ka mate a Ipitana, a ka tanu mai ki Peterehema.

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

A i muri i a ia na Erono Hepuroni i whakarite a Iharaira; a kotahi tekau nga tau i whakarite ai ia mo Iharaira.

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

Na ka mate a Erono Hepuroni, a tanumia ana ki Aitarona ki te whenua o Hepurona.

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

A, muri iho i a ia, na Aparono tama a Hirere o Piratono i whakarite a Iharaira.

14 He had forty sons and thirty grandsons who rode on seventy donkey colts. And he judged Israel eight years.

A e wha tekau ana tama, e toru tekau hoki nga tama a ana tama; e whitu tekau nga kuao kaihe i eke ai ratou: a e waru nga tau i whakarite ai ia mo Iharaira.

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 ka mate a Aparono tama a hirere o Piratono, a ka tanumia ki Piratono ki te whenua o Eparaima, ki te whenua pukepuke o nga Amareki.
