Judges 12
1 And the men of Ephraim were gathered together, and passed northward; and they said unto Jephthah, Wherefore passedst thou over to fight against the children of Ammon, and didst not call us to go with thee? we will burn thine house upon thee with fire.
Jo-Efraim nochoko jolweny mage, ma gidhi Zafon kendo giwachone Jeftha niya, “Angʼo ma omiyo ne idhi kedo gi jo-Amon ma ok iluongowa mondo wadhi kodi? Wadhi wangʼo odi ka in e iye.”
2 And Jephthah said unto them, I and my people were at great strife with the children of Ammon; and when I called you, ye saved me not out of their hand.
Jeftha nodwoko niya, An kod joga ne wanie kedo mager gi jo-Amon, ne waluongou to ne utamoru biro resowa e lwetgi.
3 And when I saw that ye saved me not, I put my life in my hand, and passed over against the children of Ammon, and the LORD delivered them into my hand: wherefore then are ye come up unto me this day, to fight against me?
Kane aneno ni ok unyal konya, nakawo ngimana e lweta mi angʼado adhi mondo aked gi jo-Amon, kendo Jehova Nyasaye nomiya loch kuomgi. Koro, angʼoma omiyo ubiro kawuono mondo uked koda?
4 Then Jephthah gathered together all the men of Gilead, and fought with Ephraim: and the men of Gilead smote Ephraim, because they said, Ye are fugitives of Ephraim, ye Gileadites, in the midst of Ephraim, [and] in the midst of Manasseh.
Omiyo Jeftha noluongo jo-Gilead duto mi gikedo gi jo-Efraim. Jo-Gilead nonegogi nikech jo-Efraim nosewacho niya, “Un jo-Gilead un mana jonjore mane oa Efraim gi Manase.”
5 And the Gileadites took the fords of Jordan against the Ephraimites: and it was so, that when [any of] the fugitives of Ephraim said, Let me go over, the men of Gilead said unto him, Art thou an Ephraimite? If he said, Nay;
Jo-Gilead nomako kuonde miyorogo Jordan mondo jo-Efraim kik ngʼadi. Sa moro amora mane ja-Efraim dwaro ngʼado kanyo to ne okwayo ni yiene okadhi odhi loka cha. To kane okwayo kamano; to ja-Gilead ne penje ka bende en ja-Efraim. To kane odwoko ni ok en ja-Efraim,
6 then said they unto him, Say now Shibboleth; and he said Sibboleth; for he could not frame to pronounce it right; then they laid hold on him, and slew him at the fords of Jordan: and there fell at that time of Ephraim forty and two thousand.
to negiwachone ni mondo owach ni Shiboleth. To kane ok onyal luongo wachno maber, mi oluonge mana ni Siboleth, to negimake mi ginege e dho wath miyorogo aora Jordan. Jo-Efraim alufu piero angʼwen gariyo nonegi odiechiengno.
7 And Jephthah judged Israel six years. Then died Jephthah the Gileadite, and was buried in [one of] the cities of Gilead.
Jeftha notelo ne jo-Israel kuom higni auchiel. Bangʼe Jeftha ma ja-Gilead notho, mi noyike e dalane man Gilead.
8 And after him Ibzan of Beth-lehem judged Israel.
Bangʼ Jeftha, Ibzan ja-Bethlehem notelo ne jo-Israel.
9 And he had thirty sons, and thirty daughters he sent abroad, and thirty daughters he brought in from abroad for his sons. And he judged Israel seven years.
Ne en-gi yawuowi piero adek kod nyiri piero adek. Nochiwo nyige monywom gi joma oko ma ok anywolane, to ne yawuote nokelonegi mon matindo obedo mondegi koa oko mar anywolane. Ibzan notelo ne Israel kuom higni abiriyo.
10 And Ibzan died, and was buried at Beth-lehem.
Bangʼe Ibzan notho, kendo noyike Bethlehem.
11 And after him Elon the Zebulunite judged Israel; and he judged Israel ten years.
Bangʼ Ibzan, Elon ja-Zebulun notelo ne Israel kuom higni apar.
12 And Elon the Zebulunite died, and was buried in Aijalon in the land of Zebulun.
Eka Elon notho, kendo noyike Aijalon mantiere e piny Zebulun.
13 And after him Abdon the son of Hillel the Pirathonite judged Israel.
Bangʼ Elon, Abdon wuod Hillel, moa Pirathon, notelo ne Israel.
14 And he had forty sons and thirty sons’ sons, that rode on threescore and ten ass colts: and he judged Israel eight years.
Ne en-gi yawuowi piero angʼwen kod nyikwayo ma yawuowi piero adek, mane nigi punde piero abiriyo ma giidho. Notelo ne Israel kuom higni aboro.
15 And 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.
Eka Abdon wuod Hillel notho, kendo noyike Pirathon man Efraim, e piny got mar jo-Amalek.
