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.”
Ug ang mga tawo sa Ephraim nagkatigum, ug miadto sa dapit sa amihanan; ug sila miingon kang Jephte: Nganong miagi ka aron sa pagpakig-away batok sa mga anak sa Ammon, ug wala magsangpit kanamo sa pagpakig-adto uban kanimo? Sunogon namo ang imong balay uban sa kalayo sa ibabaw nimo.
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.
Ug si Jephte miingon kanila: Ako ug ang akong katawohan nahimutang sa dakung kagubot batok sa mga anak sa Ammon; ug sa diha nga ako nagtawag kaninyo, ako wala ninyo luwasa gikan sa ilang kamot.
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]
Ug sa diha nga ako nakakita nga ako wala ninyo luwasa. gibutang ko ang akong kinabuhi sa akong kamot, ug miadto batok sa mga anak sa Ammon, ug si Jehova nagtugyan kanila nganhi sa akong kamot: ngano man sa ingon niini nga nanganhi kamo kanako niining adlawa, aron sa pagpakig-away batok kanako?
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.
Unya si Jephte nagtigum sa tanang mga tawo sa Galaad, ug nakig-away batok kang Ephraim; ug ang mga tawo sa Galaad, nagdaug sa Ephraim, tungod kay sila miingon: Kamo ang mga nangalagiw sa Ephraim, kamo mga Galaadhanon, sa kinataliwad-an sa Ephraim, ug sa kinataliwad-an sa Manases.
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,”
Ug ang Galaadhanon minglabang sa Jordan batok sa mga Ephraimnon. Ug mao kadto, nga sa diha nga bisan kinsa sa mga kagiw sa Ephraim miingon: Paagia ako, ang mga tawo sa Galaad miingon kaniya: Ephraimnon ba ikaw? Kong siya moingon: Dili;
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.
Unya miingon sila kaniya: Ipamulong mo karon ang Shiboleth; ug siya miingon: Siboleth; kay dili siya makalitok ug maayo: unya siya gikuptan nila ug gipatay siya didto sa labanganan sa Jordan. Ug may nangapukan niadtong panahona sa Ephraim kap-atan ug duha ka libo.
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].
Ug si Jephte nagmaghuhukom sa Israel sa unom ka tuig. Unya namatay si Jephte ang Galaadhanon, ug gilubong sa usa sa mga ciudad sa Galaad.
8 After Jephthah died, a man named Ibzan, from Bethlehem, became the leader of the Israeli people.
Ug sunod kaniya si Ibzan sa Beth-lehem nagmaghuhukom sa Israel.
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.
Ug siya may katloan ka mga anak nga lalake; ug katloan ka mga anak nga babaye nga iyang gipadala sa gawas, ug katloan ka mga anak nga babaye nga iyang gipasulod gikan sa gawas alang sa iyang mga anak nga lalake. Ug siya nagmaghuhukom sa Israel sa pito ka tuig.
10 When he died, he was buried in Bethlehem.
Ug si Ibzan namatay, ug gilubong didto sa Beth-lehem.
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.
Ug ang sunod kaniya si Elon ang taga-Zabulon nagmaghuhukom sa Israel; ug siya nagmaghuhukom sa Israel sa napulo ka tuig.
12 Then he died and was buried in Aijalon [city] in the area where the tribe of Zebulun lives.
Ug si Elon ang taga-Zabulon namatay, ug gilubong didto sa Ajalon sa yuta ni Zabulon.
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.
Ug ang sunod kaniya si Abdon ang anak nga lalake ni Hillel ang taga-Piraton nagmaghuhukom sa Israel.
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.
Ug siya may kap-atan ka anak nga lalake ug katloan ka lalakeng anak sa mga anak nga lalake, nga nangabayo sa kapitoan ka asno: ug siya nagmaghuhukom sa Israel walo ka tuig.
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].
Ug si Abdon ang anak nga lalake ni Hillel ang taga-Piraton namatay, ug gilubong didto sa Piraton sa yuta sa Ephraim, sa dapit sa kabungtoran sa mga Amalecahanon.
