< Judges 12 >

1 The men of Ephraim were gathered together, and passed northward; and they said to Jephthah, “Why did you pass over to fight against the children of Ammon, and didn’t call us to go with you? We will burn your house around you with fire!”
Hiche jouchun Ephraim mipihon asepaiteu achom khommun Jordan vadung apal galkaijun Zaphon geijin acheuvin Jepthah kommah thupo leho thu athotnun hitin aseijun ahi, “Ammon mitetoh kisat dinga nakon uva chu ipi dinga neihin koulou uham? Nanghi na intoh kahallhah thading nahi” atiuvin ahi.
2 Jephthah said to them, “I and my people were at great strife with the children of Ammon; and when I called you, you didn’t save me out of their hand.
Jepthah in amaho chu adonbut in, “Boina ahung kipat chun nangho kahin kouve, ahinla nangho nahung pouvin ahi!
3 When I saw that you didn’t save me, I put my life in my hand, and passed over against the children of Ammon, and the LORD delivered them into my hand. Why then have you come up to me today, to fight against me?”
Hitiahi nangho nahung nomlou kahetdoh phatnin, hinkho phalngam in nangho pang louvin galmunna hin kachen Pakaiyin Ammon mite chunga hin galjona eipetan ahi. Ahile tuahi ipi dinga keima to kisat dinga nahung jenguham?” atin ahi.
4 Then Jephthah gathered together all the men of Gilead, and fought with Ephraim. The men of Gilead struck Ephraim, because they said, “You are fugitives of Ephraim, you Gileadites, in the middle of Ephraim, and in the middle of Manasseh.”
Nangho Gilead mitehi imacha hilou Ephraim le Manesseh a konna jamdoh ho maimai nahilouvu ham?” atiuve. Hijouchun Jepthah in Gilead mite jouse chu aloikhom’in Ephraim mite chu akisatpin ajoutan ahi.
5 The Gileadites took the fords of the Jordan against the Ephraimites. Whenever a fugitive of Ephraim said, “Let me go over,” the men of Gilead said to him, “Are you an Ephraimite?” If he said, “No;”
Jepthah in Jordan vadung palmun chu alokhum’in Ephraim’a konna jamdoh khattou chu akinungle a hiche munhi ahinpal gotleh Gilead mihochun “Ephraim phungmi nahim?” tin adong jiuvin, kahipoi atiuleh,
6 then they said to him, “Now say ‘Shibboleth;’” and he said “Sibboleth”; for he couldn’t manage to pronounce it correctly, then they seized him and killed him at the fords of the Jordan. At that time, forty-two thousand of Ephraim fell.
Amahon “Shebboleth” ti-in atiuvin, amachu Ephraim mi ahileh “Shebboleth’’ atidiu ahi, ajeh chu Ephraim miten hiche thucheng hi adih a aseitheiji louvu ahi. Hiteng chuleh amahon apuidoh uva Jordan kaimun’a chu athajiu ahi. Hiche phat laichun Ephraim techu sangsomli le ni ana thatnun ahi.
7 Jephthah judged Israel six years. Then Jephthah the Gileadite died, and was buried in the cities of Gilead.
Jepthah in Israel te chunga anavaihom nachu kum gup alhingin ahi. Ama athi chun Gilead gamsunga ama khopia anavui un ahi.
8 After him Ibzan of Bethlehem judged Israel.
Jepthah thinungin Bethlehem mi Ibzan chun Israelte chungah thutannin anapangin ahi.
9 He had thirty sons. He sent his thirty daughters outside his clan, and he brought in thirty daughters from outside his clan for his sons. He judged Israel seven years.
Aman chapa somthum leh chanu athumin ananeijin ahi. Aman achanute chu ama phungmi hilou hotoh anakichen sah in, chule achapate jidingin midang chanute somthum ana kipuilutnin ahi. Ibzan chun Israel te chungah kum sagi thutannin apangin ahi.
10 Ibzan died, and was buried at Bethlehem.
Ama athip phatnin Bethlehem mah anavuijun ahi.
11 After him, Elon the Zebulunite judged Israel; and he judged Israel ten years.
Ibzan athinungin Zebulun phungmi Elonnin Israelte chunga kum som thutannin anapangin ahi.
12 Elon the Zebulunite died, and was buried in Aijalon in the land of Zebulun.
Ama athiphatnin Zebulun gamsunga Aijalon’ah ana vuijun ahi.
13 After him, Abdon the son of Hillel the Pirathonite judged Israel.
Elon thijouvin Pirathon’a kon in Hillel chapa Abdon’in Israel chunga thutannin anapange.
14 He had forty sons and thirty sons’ sons who rode on seventy donkey colts. He judged Israel eight years.
Aman chapa somli, tupa somli ananeijin, amahohi sangan som sagi chunga anatouvin ahi. Amahin Israel chungah kum get thutannin anapange.
15 Abdon the son of Hillel the Pirathonite died, and was buried in Pirathon in the land of Ephraim, in the hill country of the Amalekites.
Ama athi phatnin Amalekte thinglhang gam Ephraim sunga um Pirathon’ah ana vuijun ahi.
