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.”
At ang mga lalake ng Ephraim ay nagpipisan at nagdaan sa dakong hilagaan: at sinabi nila kay Jephte, Bakit ka nagpatuloy na lumaban sa mga anak ni Ammon, at hindi mo kami tinawag upang yumaong kasama mo? susunugin ka namin pati ng iyong bahay.
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.
At sinabi ni Jephte sa kanila, Ako at ang aking bayan ay totoong nakipaglaban sa mga anak ni Ammon; at nang tawagan ko kayo ay hindi ninyo ako iniligtas sa kanilang kamay.
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]
At nang makita ko na ako'y hindi ninyo iniligtas ay aking inilagak ang aking buhay sa aking kamay, at ako'y nagdaan laban sa mga anak ni Ammon, at sila'y ibinigay ng Panginoon sa aking kamay: bakit nga inahon ninyo ako sa araw na ito, upang makipaglaban sa akin?
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.
Nang magkagayo'y pinisan ni Jephte ang mga lalake sa Galaad, at nakipaglaban sa Ephraim; at sinaktan ng mga lalake ng Galaad ang Ephraim, sapagka't kanilang sinabi, Kayo'y mga tanan sa Ephraim, kayong mga Galaadita, sa gitna ng Ephraim, at sa gitna ng 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,”
At sinakop ng mga Galaadita ang mga tawiran sa Jordan sa dako ng mga Ephraimita. At nangyari, na pagkasinabi ng mga tanan sa Ephraim na, Paraanin mo ako, ay sinasabi ng mga lalake ng Galaad sa kaniya, Ikaw ba'y Ephraimita? Kung kaniyang sabihin, Hindi;
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.
Ay sinabi nga nila sa kaniya, Sabihin mong Shiboleth; at sinasabi niya, Shiboleth; sapagka't hindi matumpakang sabihing matuwid; kung magkagayo'y kanilang hinuhuli, at pinapatay sa mga tawiran ng Jordan: at nahulog nang panahong yaon sa Ephraim ay apat na pu't dalawang 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].
At naghukom si Jephte sa Israel na anim na taon. Nang magkagayo'y namatay si Jephte na Galaadita, at inilibing sa isang bayan ng Galaad.
8 After Jephthah died, a man named Ibzan, from Bethlehem, became the leader of the Israeli people.
At pagkamatay niya, si Ibzan na taga Bethlehem ang naghukom 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.
At siya'y nagkaanak ng tatlong pung lalake, at ang tatlong pung anak na babae ay kaniyang ipinadala sa ibang bayan, at tatlong pung anak na babae ay kaniyang ipinasok mula sa ibang bayan para sa kaniyang mga anak na lalake. At naghukom siya sa Israel na pitong taon.
10 When he died, he was buried in Bethlehem.
At si Ibzan ay namatay, at inilibing sa Bethlehem.
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.
At pagkamatay niya, si Elon na Zabulonita ang naghukom sa Israel; at naghukom siya sa Israel na sangpung taon.
12 Then he died and was buried in Aijalon [city] in the area where the tribe of Zebulun lives.
At si Elon na Zabulonita ay namatay, at inilibing sa Ajalon sa lupain ng 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.
At pagkamatay niya, si Abdon na anak ni Hillel na Piratonita ang naghukom 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.
At siya'y nagkaroon ng apat na pung anak at tatlong pung apo na sumasakay sa pitong pung asno: at siya'y naghukom sa Israel na walong taon.
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].
At si Abdon na anak ni Hillel na Piratonita ay namatay, at inilibing sa Piraton sa lupain ng Ephraim, sa lupaing maburol ng mga Amalecita.
