Judges 12

1 And the men of Ephraim are called together, and pass over northward, and say to Jephthah, 'Wherefore has thou passed over to fight against the Bene-Ammon, and on us hast not called to go with thee? thy house we burn over thee with fire.'

Jo-Efraim nochoko jolweny mage, ma gidhi Zafon kendo giwachone Jeftha niya, “Angʼo ma omiyo ne idhi kedo gi jo-Amon ma ok iluongowa mondo wadhi kodi? Wadhi wangʼo odi ka in e iye.”

2 And Jephthah saith unto them, 'A man of great strife I have been (I and my people) with the Bene-Ammon, and I call you, and ye have not saved me out of their hand,

Jeftha nodwoko niya, An kod joga ne wanie kedo mager gi jo-Amon, ne waluongou to ne utamoru biro resowa e lwetgi.

3 and I see that thou art not a saviour, and I put my life in my hand, and pass over unto the Bene-Ammon, and Jehovah giveth them into my hand — and why have ye come up unto me this day to fight against me?'

Kane aneno ni ok unyal konya, nakawo ngimana e lweta mi angʼado adhi mondo aked gi jo-Amon, kendo Jehova Nyasaye nomiya loch kuomgi. Koro, angʼoma omiyo ubiro kawuono mondo uked koda?

4 And Jephthah gathered all the men of Gilead, and fighteth with Ephraim, and the men of Gilead smite Ephraim, because they said, 'Fugitives of Ephraim [are] ye Gileadites, in the midst of Ephraim — in the midst of Manasseh.'

Omiyo Jeftha noluongo jo-Gilead duto mi gikedo gi jo-Efraim. Jo-Gilead nonegogi nikech jo-Efraim nosewacho niya, “Un jo-Gilead un mana jonjore mane oa Efraim gi Manase.”

5 And Gilead captureth the passages of the Jordan to Ephraim, and it hath been, when [any of] the fugitives of Ephraim say, 'Let me pass over,' and the men of Gilead say to him, 'An Ephramite thou?' and he saith, 'No;'

Jo-Gilead nomako kuonde miyorogo Jordan mondo jo-Efraim kik ngʼadi. Sa moro amora mane ja-Efraim dwaro ngʼado kanyo to ne okwayo ni yiene okadhi odhi loka cha. To kane okwayo kamano; to ja-Gilead ne penje ka bende en ja-Efraim. To kane odwoko ni ok en ja-Efraim,

6 that they say to him, 'Say, I pray thee, Shibboleth;' and he saith, 'Sibboleth,' and is not prepared to speak right — and they seize him, and slaughter him at the passages of the Jordan, and there fall at that time, of Ephraim, forty and two chiefs.

to negiwachone ni mondo owach ni Shiboleth. To kane ok onyal luongo wachno maber, mi oluonge mana ni Siboleth, to negimake mi ginege e dho wath miyorogo aora Jordan. Jo-Efraim alufu piero angʼwen gariyo nonegi odiechiengno.

7 And Jephthah judged Israel six years, and Jephthah the Gileadite dieth, and is buried in [one of] the cities of Gilead.

Jeftha notelo ne jo-Israel kuom higni auchiel. Bangʼe Jeftha ma ja-Gilead notho, mi noyike e dalane man Gilead.

8 And after him Ibzan of Beth-Lehem judgeth Israel,

Bangʼ Jeftha, Ibzan ja-Bethlehem notelo ne jo-Israel.

9 and he hath thirty sons and thirty daughters, he hath sent without and thirty daughters hath brought in to his sons from without; and he judgeth Israel seven years.

Ne en-gi yawuowi piero adek kod nyiri piero adek. Nochiwo nyige monywom gi joma oko ma ok anywolane, to ne yawuote nokelonegi mon matindo obedo mondegi koa oko mar anywolane. Ibzan notelo ne Israel kuom higni abiriyo.

10 And Ibzan dieth, and is buried in Beth-Lehem.

Bangʼe Ibzan notho, kendo noyike Bethlehem.

11 And after him Elon the Zebulunite judgeth Israel, and he judgeth Israel ten years,

Bangʼ Ibzan, Elon ja-Zebulun notelo ne Israel kuom higni apar.

12 and Elon the Zebulunite dieth, and is buried in Aijalon, in the land of Zebulun.

Eka Elon notho, kendo noyike Aijalon mantiere e piny Zebulun.

13 And after him, Abdon son of Hillel, the Pirathonite, judgeth Israel,

Bangʼ Elon, Abdon wuod Hillel, moa Pirathon, notelo ne Israel.

14 and he hath forty sons, and thirty grandsons, riding on seventy ass-colts, and he judgeth Israel eight years.

Ne en-gi yawuowi piero angʼwen kod nyikwayo ma yawuowi piero adek, mane nigi punde piero abiriyo ma giidho. Notelo ne Israel kuom higni aboro.

15 And Abdon son of Hillel, the Pirathonite, dieth, and is buried in Pirathon, in the land of Ephraim, in the hill-country of the Amalekite.

Eka Abdon wuod Hillel notho, kendo noyike Pirathon man Efraim, e piny got mar jo-Amalek.
