Judges 12
1 And the men of Ephraim assembled, and went northward, and said to Jephthah, Why didst thou pass over to fight against the children of Ammon, and didst not call us to go with thee; we will burn thy house upon thee with fire.
Namoonni Efreem walitti qabamanii Daafoon ceʼuudhaan Yiftaan, “Ati yeroo Amoonota loluuf baatetti maaliif akka nu si faana deemnuuf nu hin waamne? Nu mana kee sirratti gubna” jedhaniin.
2 And Jephthah said to them, I and my people were at great strife with the children of Ammon; and when I called you, ye delivered me not out of their hands.
Yiftaanis akkana jedhee deebiseef; “Anii fi namoonni koo Amoonota loluuf waraana guddaa keessa gallee turre; yommuu ani isin waametti isin harka isaaniitii na hin baafne.
3 And when I saw that ye delivered [me] not, I put my life in my hands, and passed over against the children of Ammon, and the LORD delivered them into my hand: why then have ye come up to me this day, to fight against me?
Ani yeroo akka isin na hin baafne argetti lubbuu kootti muree Amoonota waraanuuf nan ceʼe; Waaqayyos isaan irratti moʼannaa naa kenne. Yoos isin harʼa maaliif na loluuf dhuftan ree?”
4 Then Jephthah collected all the men of Gilead, and fought with Ephraim: and the men of Gilead smote Ephraim, because they said, Ye Gileadites [are] fugitives of Ephraim among the Ephraimites, [and] among the Manassites.
Yiftaanis ergasii namoota Giliʼaad walitti waammatee Efreemitti lola kaase. Sababii namoonni Efreem warra Giliʼaadiin, “Isin Giliʼaadonni warra Efreemii fi Minaasee gantanii dha” jedhaniif Giliʼaadonni isaan dhaʼan.
5 And the Gileadites took the passages of Jordan before the Ephraimites: and it was [so], that when those Ephraimites who had escaped, said, Let me go over; that the men of Gilead said to him, [Art] thou an Ephraimite? If he said, No;
Giliʼaadonni malkaawwan Yordaanos kanneen gara Efraataatti geessan qabatan; yeroo baqataan Efraataa tokko, “Ani gamattin ceʼa” jedhutti, namoonni Giliʼaad, “Ati nama Efreem mitii?” jedhanii isa gaafatu. Yoo inni, “Waawuu” jedhee deebise,
6 Then said they to him, Say now Shibboleth: and he said Sibboleth: for he could not frame to pronounce [it] right. Then they took him, and slew him at the passages of Jordan. And there fell at that time of the Ephraimites forty and two thousand.
isaan, “Gaarii dha; ati, ‘Shiiboleeti’ jedhi” jedhaniin. Yoo inni, “Siiboleeti” jedhe, sababii inni qajeelatti “Shiiboleeti” jechuu hin dandeenyeef qabanii malkaawwan Yordaanos irratti isa ajjeesu. Yeroo sanatti namoota Efreem kuma afurtamii lamatu ajjeefame.
7 And Jephthah judged Israel six years: then died Jephthah the Gileadite, and was buried in [one of] the cities of Gilead.
Yiftaan waggaa jaʼa Israaʼelin bulche. Ergasii Yiftaan namni Giliʼaad sun duʼee magaalaa Giliʼaad keessaa tokkotti awwaalame.
8 And after him Ibzan of Beth-lehem judged Israel.
Isaan duubas Ibzaan namichi Beetlihem sun Israaʼelin bulche.
9 And he had thirty sons and thirty daughters [whom] he sent abroad, and took in thirty daughters from abroad for his sons: and he judged Israel seven years.
Innis ilmaan soddomaa fi intallan soddoma qaba ture; intallan isaas warra gosa isaa hin taʼinitti heerumsiise; ilmaan isaatiifis akka isaan niitota taʼaniif gosa biraa keessaa durboota soddoma fide. Ibxaan waggaa torba Israaʼel bulche.
10 Then died Ibzan, and was buried at Beth-lehem.
Ibzaanis duʼee Beetlihem keessatti awwaalame.
11 And after him Elon, a Zebulonite, judged Israel, and he judged Israel ten years.
Isa booddee Eeloon namichi gosa Zebuuloon sun waggaa kudhan Israaʼelin bulche.
12 And Elon the Zebulonite died, and was buried in Ajalon in the country of Zebulun.
Eeloonis duʼee biyya Zebuuloon keessatti Ayaaloonitti awwaalame.
13 And after him Abdon the son of Hillel, a Pirathonite, judged Israel.
Isatti aanee immoo Abdoon ilmi Hileel namichi Phiraatoon sun Israaʼelin bulche.
14 And he had forty sons and thirty nephews, that rode on seventy ass colts: and he judged Israel eight years.
Innis ilmaan afurtamaa fi ilmaan ilmaanii soddoma kanneen harroota torbaatama yaabbatan qaba ture. Inni waggaa saddeeti Israaʼelin bulche.
15 And Abdon the son of Hillel the Pirathonite died, and was buried in Pirathon in the land of Ephraim, in the mount of the Amalekites.
Ergasiis Abdoon ilmi Hileel duʼee biyya gaaraa Amaaleqootaatti Efreem keessatti Phiraatoonitti awwaalame.
