Judges 12
1 `Lo! forsothe discencioun roos in Effraym; for whi thei, that passiden ayens the north, seiden to Jepte, Whi yedist thou to batel ayens the sones of Amon, and noldist clepe vs, that we schulden go with thee? Therfor we schulen brenne thin hows.
Efraim abusuakuw no boaboaa asraafo ano twa kɔɔ Safon. Wɔde nkra yi kɔmaa Yefta: “Adɛn nti na woansoma ammɛka ankyerɛ yɛn sɛ yɛmmɛboa mo nko ntia Amonfo? Yɛrebɛhyew wo ne wo fi nyinaa pasaa!”
2 To whiche he answeride, Greet strijf was to me and to my puple ayens the sones of Amon, and Y clepide you, that ye schulden `yyue help to me, and ye nolden do.
Yefta buae se, “Mansotwe no mfiase no, mefrɛɛ mo, nanso moamma. Moammɛboa annye me wɔ Amonfo nsam.
3 `Which thing Y siy, and puttide my lijf in myn hondis; and Y passide to the sones of Amon, and `the Lord bitook hem in to myn hondis; what haue Y disseruyd, that ye ryse togidere ayens me in to batel?
Mede me nkwa too me nsam kɔkoe a monnka ho, nanso Awurade ma midii Amonfo so nkonim. Na adɛn nti na afei woaba sɛ wo ne me rebɛko?”
4 Therfor whanne alle the men of Galaad weren clepid to hym, he fauyt ayens Effraym; and the men of Galaad smytiden Effraym; for he seide, Galaad is `fugitif ether exilid fro Effraym, and dwellith in the myddis of Effraym and of Manasses.
Efraimfo ntuanofo no buae se, “Gileadfo nyɛ nnipa biara sɛ aguanfo a wofi Efraim ne Manase.” Enti Yefta frɛɛ nʼakofo; wɔtow hyɛɛ Efraimfo so, dii wɔn so nkonim.
5 And the men of Galaad ocupieden the forthis of Jordan, bi whiche Effraym schulden turne ayen. And whanne a man fleynge of the noumbre of Effraym hadde come to tho forthis, and hadde seid, Y biseche, that thou suffre me passe; men of Galaad seiden to hym, Whether thou art a man of Effraym? And whanne he seide, Y am not,
Yefta ko faa Yordan aworoe so. Bere biara a oguanfo bi a ofi Efraim pɛ sɛ ɔfa hɔ guan kɔ nʼakyi no, Gileadfo no bisa no se, “Wufi Efraim abusua mu ana?” Sɛ ɔbarima no bua se, “Dabi” a,
6 thei axiden hym, Seie thou therfor Sebolech, `whiche is interpretid, `an eer of corn. Which answeride, Thebolech, and myyte not brynge forth an eer of corn bi the same lettre. And anoon thei strangeliden hym takun in thilke passyng of Jordan; and two and fourti thousynde of Effraym felden doun in that tyme.
wɔka kyerɛ no se, ɔnka “Sibolet.” Sɛ ofi Efraim a, ɔka, “Sibolet,” Efisɛ nnipa a wofi Efraim no ntumi nka saa asɛm no yiye. Sɛ ɛba saa a, na wɔakyere no akokum no wɔ Asubɔnten Yordan aworoe so hɔ. Enti Efraimfo mpem aduanan abien na wokunkum wɔn saa bere no.
7 And so Jepte, `a man of Galaad, demyde Israel sixe yeer; and he `was deed, and biried in his citee Galaad.
Yefta yɛɛ Israel so temmufo mfe asia. Owui no, wosiee no wɔ Gilead nkurow no baako so.
8 Abethsan of Bethleem, that hadde thretti sones, and so many douytris, demyde Israel aftir Jepte;
Yefta akyi no, Ibsan na ɔbɛyɛɛ otemmufo wɔ Israel. Ɔtenaa Betlehem.
9 whiche douytris he sente out, and yaf to hosebondis, and he took wyues to hise sones of the same noumbre, and brouyte in to hys hows; which demyde Israel seuene yeer;
Na ɔwɔ mmabarima aduasa ne mmabea nso aduasa. Ɔmaa ne mmabea no wareware fii mmusua foforo mu. Ne mmabarima no de, ɔfaa mmabun aduasa fii mmusua foforo mu ma wɔbɛwarewaree wɔn. Ibsan buu Israel atɛn mfe ason.
10 and he `was deed, and biried in Bethleem.
Owui no, wosiee no wɔ Betlehem.
11 Whos successour was Hailon of Zabulon; and he demyde Israel ten yeer;
Ibsan akyi no, Elon a ofi Sebulon na ɔbɛyɛɛ otemmufo wɔ Israel. Obuu Israel atɛn mfe du.
12 and he was deed, and biried in Zabulon.
Bere a owui no, wosiee no wɔ Ayalon, Sebulon asase so.
13 Aftir hym Abdon, the sone of Ellel, of Pharaton, demyde Israel;
Elon wu akyi no, Hilel babarima Abdon a ofi Piraton na ɔbɛyɛɛ otemmufo wɔ Israel.
14 which Abdon hadde fourti sones, and of hem thretti sones, stiynge on seuenti coltis of femal assis, `that is, mulis, and he demyde Israel eiyte yeer;
Onyaa mmabarima aduanan ne nananom aduasa a na wɔn mu biara tena mfurum so. Ɔyɛɛ otemmufo wɔ Israel mfe awotwe.
15 and he `was deed, and biried in Pharaton, in the loond of Effraym, in the hil of Amalech.
Owu ma wosiee no wɔ Piraton wɔ Efraim asase a ɛwɔ Amalekfo bepɔw asase no so.
