Judges 12
1 A call went out to the men of Ephraim; they passed through Zaphon and said to Jephthah, “Why did you pass through to fight against the people of Ammon and did not call us to go with you? We will burn your house down over you.”
Nifanontoñe o nte-Efraimeo naho nimb’e Tsafone mb’eo, nanao ty hoe amy Ieftake, Ino ty nitsaha’ areo mb’eo hialia’o amo nte-Amoneo f’ie tsy nitoka anay hindreza’ay? Ho forototoe’ay añ’ afo ama’o ty anjomba’o.
2 Jephthah said to them, “I and my people were in a great conflict with the people of Ammon. When I called you, you did not rescue me from them.
Le hoe ty natoi’ Ieftake am’ iareo, Toe niampohek’ amo ana’ i Amoneo naho ondatiko iraho te nikanjy anahareo, f’ie tsy nañaro ahy am-pità’ iareo.
3 When I saw that you did not rescue me, When I saw that you did not rescue me, I put my life in my own hand and passed through against the people of Ammon, and Yahweh gave me victory. Why have you come to fight against me today?”
Aa kanao tsy narova’ areo le namoeako fiay nitsake mb’ amo ana’ i Amoneo mb’eo, vaho natolo’ Iehovà an-tañako. Aa le ino ty nitroara’ areo amako androany hialia’ areo?
4 Jephthah gathered together all the men of Gilead and he fought against Ephraim. The men of Gilead attacked the men of Ephraim because they said, “You Gileadites are fugitives in Ephraim—in Ephraim and Manasseh.”
Natonto’ Ieftake o lahilahi’ i Gilade iabio naho nialy amy Efraime; vaho linafa’ o nte-Giladeo t’i Efraime, ami’ty natao’ iareo ty hoe: Ondaty gike e Efraime nahareo nte Gilade añivo’ i Efraime naho i Menasè ao.
5 The Gileadites captured the fords of the Jordan leading to Ephraim. When any of the survivors of Ephraim said, “Let me go over the river,” the men of Gilead would say to him, “Are you an Ephraimite?” If he said, “No,”
Rinambe’ o nte-Giladeo amy Efraime o fitsaha’ Iordaney boake Efraimeo, ie amy zao naho teo ty nipoliotse amo nte-Efraimeo nanao ty hoe: Ehe angao hitsake? Le nañontane aze o nte-Giladeo ty hoe: nte Efraime hao? Aa naho Tsie ty natao’e;
6 then they would say to him, “Say: Shibboleth,” and if he said “Sibboleth” (for he could not pronounce the word correctly), the Gileadites would seize him and kill him at the fords of the Jordan. Forty-two thousand Ephraimites were killed at that time.
le nanoe’ iareo ama’e ty hoe: Ano ty hoe: Sibolete, te mone nanao ty hoe Tsibolete—ie toe tsy nahafanoñoñe’e—le nitsepaheñe vaho vinono’ iareo amo fitsaha’ Iordaneio; nte Efraime efats’ ale-tsi-ro’ arivo ty nikorovoke henane zay.
7 Jephthah served as a judge over Israel for six years. Then Jephthah the Gileadite died and was buried in one of the cities of Gilead.
Enen-taoñe ty nizakà’ Ieftake Israele, le nivilasy t’Ieftake nte-Gilade, vaho nalentek’ an-drova’ o nte-Giladeo.
8 After him, Ibzan of Bethlehem served as a judge over Israel.
Nanonjohy aze, t’Ibtsane nte-Betlekheme nizaka Israele.
9 He had thirty sons. He gave away thirty daughters in marriage, and he brought in thirty daughters of other men for his sons, from the outside. He judged Israel for seven years.
Nanañ’ anadahy telo-polo re naho anak’ ampela telopolo naho naondra’e añe vaho nampimoahe’e boak’ añe ka ty anak’ ampela ho a o ana-dahi’eo. Nizaka Israele fito taoñe
10 Ibzan died and was buried at Bethlehem.
le nivilasy t’Ibtsane, vaho nalenteke e Betlekheme ao.
11 After him Elon the Zebulunite served as judge over Israel. He judged Israel for ten years.
Ie añe le nizaka Israele folo taoñe t’i Elone nte-Zebolone.
12 Elon the Zebulunite died and was buried in Aijalon in the land of Zebulun.
Ie nihomake t’i Elone nte-Zebolone, le nalenteke Aialone an-tane Zebolone ao.
13 After him, Abdon son of Hillel the Pirathonite served as a judge over Israel.
Nanonjohy aze nizaka Israele t’i Abdone ana’ i Mpandrenge nte-Piratone.
14 He had forty sons and thirty grandsons. They rode on seventy donkeys, and he judged Israel for eight years.
Nanañ’ana-dahy efa-polo re naho afe telo-polo mpiningitse ana-borìke fitom-polo, nizaka valo taoñe.
15 Abdon son of Hillel the Pirathonite died and was buried in Pirathon in the land of Ephraim in the hill country of the Amalekites.
Nivilasy t’i Abdone ana’ i Mpandrenge nte-Piratone vaho nalenteke e Piratone an-tane Efraime am-bohi’ i Amaleke ao.
