Judges 12
1 The men of the tribe of Ephraim summoned their soldiers, and they crossed [the Jordan River] to [the town of] Zaphon [to talk with] Jephthah. They said to him, “(Why did you not ask us for help?/You should have requested us) to help your army fight the Ammon people-group. So we will burn down your house while you are in it.”
Ifala: ime dunu da ilia dadi gagui dunu huluane gilisi. Ilia da Yodane Hano degele, Sa: ifone sogega asili, Yefeda ema amane sia: i, “Di da abuli ninima mae adole, udigili disu A: mounaide dunuma gegemusa: asibala: ? Ninia da dia diasu amola di gilisili laluga ulagimu.”
2 Jephthah replied, “The Ammon people-group were oppressing us greatly. When we were prepared to start to attack them, I requested you to come and help us, but you refused. My men and I defeated the Ammon people-group, but you did not help us.
Yefeda da ilima amane sia: i, “Na amola na fi dunu da A: mounaide dunuma gegesu bagade ba: i. Na da dilima wele sia: i dagoi, be dilia da na hame fidi.
3 When I saw that you would not help us, I was willing to be killed in the battle against the Ammon people-group. But Yahweh helped us to defeat them. [You did not help us when we requested it before], so (why have you come here today to fight against me?/you should not have come here today to fight against me.)” [RHQ]
Dilia da na hame fidimu, amo na ba: beba: le, na da na bogomu mae dawa: le, Yodane Hano degele, A:mounaide dunu ilima gegei. Hina Gode da fidibiba: le, ninia da ili hasalasi. Amaiba: le, dilia da abuliba: le wali nama gegemusa: misibala: ?”
4 Then Jephthah summoned the men of [the] Gilead [region] to fight [against the men of the tribe of] Ephraim. The men of the tribe of Ephraim said, “You men from [the] Gilead [region] are men who deserted us. Long ago you left us and moved to the area between our tribe and the tribe of Manasseh.” [Because of their saying that], the men of [the] Gilead [region] attacked the men of the tribe of Ephraim.
Amalalu, Yefeda da Gilia: de dunu huluane gilisili, Ifala: ime fi ilima gegei. Gilia: de dunu da Ifala: ime dunu hasali. Bai Ifala: ime dunu da amane sia: i galu, “Dilia Gilia: de dunu da musa: Ifala: ime fi amola Mana: se fi - ninia fi, be afafane hohonosu hou hamoi.”
5 The men of Gilead captured that (ford/place where people can walk across) at the Jordan [River] to go to the land where the tribe of Ephraim live. Whenever one of the soldiers from the tribe of Ephraim came to the ford to try to escape, he would say, “Let me cross the river.” Then the men of Gilead would ask him, “Are you from the tribe of Ephraim?” If he said “No,”
Gilia: de dunu da Yodane hano degesu huluane amo Ifala: ime sogega ahoasu, amo huluane lai dagoi. Amalalu, Ifala: ime dunu da hano degesu amoga degemusa: dawa: loba, Gilia: de dunu da ema amane adole ba: su, “Di da Ifala: ime dunula: ?” E da “Hame mabu,” sia: noba,
6 they would say to him, “Say the word ‘Shibboleth’.” The men of Ephraim could not pronounce that word correctly. So if the person from the tribe of Ephraim said ‘Sibboleth’, [they would know that he was lying and that he was really from the tribe of Ephraim, and] they would kill him there at the ford. So the men of Gilead killed 42,000 people from the tribe of Ephraim at that time.
ilia da ema amane sia: i, “Defea! Di Sibolede sia: ma.” E da sia: hisu amo “Sibolede” amo giadofale sia: noba, ilia da amo dunu gaguli, Yodane Hano degesu amoga medole legei. Amohaga, ilia da Ifala: ime dunu 42,000 medole legei dagoi.
7 Jephthah, the man from [the] Gilead [region], was a leader of the Israeli people for six years. Then he died and was buried in a town in [the] Gilead [region].
Yefeda da ode gafeyale amoga, Isala: ili ouligisu. Amalalu e da bogole, ilia da ea da: i hodo amo ea moilaidafa Gilia: de soge ganodini, uli dogone sali.
8 After Jephthah died, a man named Ibzan, from Bethlehem, became the leader of the Israeli people.
Yefeda bagia, Ibisa: ne (Bedeleheme dunu) da Isala: ili fi ouligisu.
9 He had 30 sons and 30 daughters. He forced all his daughters to marry men who were not in his clan, and brought women from outside his clan to marry his sons. He was the leader of the Israeli people for seven years.
E da dunu mano30amola uda mano 30agoane esalu. Ea uda mano amo ga sosogo fi amo ilia lama: ne asunasiagai. Amola amo dabe uda mano30agoane egefelali ili lama: ne oule misi. Ibisa: ne da ode fesuale amoga, Isala: ili fi ouligisu.
10 When he died, he was buried in Bethlehem.
Amalalu, Ibisa: ne da bogoi. Ilia da ea da: i hodo Bedeleheme moilai amo ganodini uli dogone sali.
11 After Ibzan died, a man named Elon, from the tribe of Zebulun, became the leader of the Israeli people. He was their leader for ten years.
Amalalu, Ilone (Sebiulane fi dunu) da ode nabuane amoga, Isala: ili dunu ouligisu.
12 Then he died and was buried in Aijalon [city] in the area where the tribe of Zebulun lives.
Amalalu, Ilone bogole, ilia da ea da: i hodo amo A: idialone moilai (Sebiulane soge ganodini) amogai uli dogone sali.
13 After Elon died, a man named Abdon who was the son of Hillel, from Pirathon [city, in the area where the tribe of Ephraim live] became the leader of the Israeli people.
Ilone bagia, A:badone (Hilele egefe. E da Bailadone moilaiga esalu.) e da Isala: ili fi ouligisu.
14 He had 40 sons and 30 grandsons. Each of them had his own donkey on which to ride. Abdon was the leader of the Israeli people for eight years.
E da Isala: ili dunu ode godoane amoga ouligisu. A: badone da dunu mano40 amola ea aowa30 esalu. Ilia da dougi 70 amo da: iya fila heda: le, ahoasu.
15 When Abdon died, he was buried in Pirathon, in the hilly area where the descendants of Amalek lived previously, [but now it is the area where the tribe of Ephraim lives].
Amalalu, A:badone (Hilele egefe) da bogole, ilia da ea da: i hodo amo Bailadone moilai amo ganodini uli dogone sali. Bailadone moilai da A: ma: legaide agolo soge ganodini, Ifala: ime ilia gagui soge alalo amo ganodini dialebe ba: i.
