Jij 12

1 Alò, fis a Éphraïm yo te rasanble. Yo te travèse vè Tsaphon e te di a Jephethé: “Poukisa ou te travèse pou batay avèk fis Ammon yo san rele nou pou ale avèk ou? Nou va brile kay ou sou ou.”

And the men of Ephraim were gathered together, and passed northward; and they said unto Jephthah, Wherefore passedst thou 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.

2 Jephthé te di yo: “Mwen avèk pèp mwen an t ap fè gwo kont avèk fis Ammon yo; epi lè mwen te rele nou, nou pa t delivre mwen nan men yo.

And Jephthah said unto them, I and my people were at great strife with the children of Ammon; and when I called you, ye saved me not out of their hand.

3 Lè m te wè ke nou pa t ap delivre mwen, mwen te pran pwòp lavi mwen nan men m, e te travèse lòtbò kont fis Ammon yo, epi SENYÈ a te livre yo nan men m. Poukisa, konsa, nou vin monte sou mwen nan jou sa a pou goumen kont mwen?”

And when I saw that ye saved me not, I put my life in my hand, and passed over against the children of Ammon, and Jehovah delivered them into my hand: wherefore then are ye come up unto me this day, to fight against me?

4 Epi Jephthé te ranmase tout gason Galaad yo pou te goumen kont Éphraïm. Mesye Galaad yo te bat Éphraïm, akoz yo te di: “Se moun sove devan Éphraïm ke nou ye; O Galaadit yo, ki nan mitan Ephraïm ak nan mitan Manassé.”

Then Jephthah gathered together all the men of Gilead, and fought with Ephraim; and the men of Gilead smote Ephraim, because they said, Ye are fugitives of Ephraim, ye Gileadites, in the midst of Ephraim, [and] in the midst of Manasseh.

5 Galaadit yo te kaptire tout kote pou janbe Rivyè Jourdain anfas Éphraïm nan. Epi li te rive ke lè nenpòt nan moun sove Éphraïm yo te di: “Kite mwen janbe,” mesye Galaad yo ta di li: “Èske ou se yon Efrayimit?” Epi si li te di: “Non”,

And the Gileadites took the fords of the Jordan against the Ephraimites. And it was so, that, when [any of] the fugitives of Ephraim said, Let me go over, the men of Gilead said unto him, Art thou an Ephraimite? If he said, Nay;

6 alò, yo te di li: “Silvouplè, di ‘Shibboleth.’” Men li ta di: “Sibboleth”, paske li pa t kab pwononse li byen. Konsa, yo ta sezi li pou touye li nan kote pou janbe Jourdain an. Konsa, te tonbe nan lè sa a, karann-de-mil nan Efrayimit yo.

then said they unto him, Say now Shibboleth; and he said Sibboleth; for he could not frame to pronounce it right: then they laid hold on him, and slew him at the fords of the Jordan. And there fell at that time of Ephraim forty and two thousand.

7 Jephthé te jije Israël pandan sis ane. Epi Jephthé, Galaadit la te mouri e te antere nan youn nan vil nan Galaad yo.

And Jephthah judged Israel six years. Then died Jephthah the Gileadite, and was buried in [one of] the cities of Gilead.

8 Alò, Ibtsan a Bethléhem te jije Israël apre li.

And after him Ibzan of Beth-lehem judged Israel.

9 Li te gen trant fis ak trant fi ke li te bay an maryaj andeyò fanmi an. Li te fè antre trant fi soti deyò pou fis li yo.

And he had thirty sons; and thirty daughters he sent abroad, and thirty daughters he brought in from abroad for his sons. And he judged Israel seven years.

10 Konsa, Ibtsan te mouri e te antere Bethléhem.

And Ibzan died, and was buried at Beth-lehem.

11 Alò, Élon, Zabilonit lan te jije Israël apre li. Li te jije Israël pandan dis ane.

And after him Elon the Zebulunite judged Israel; and he judged Israel ten years.

12 Konsa, Élon, Zabilonit lan te mouri e te antere nan Ajalon nan peyi a Zabulon.

And Elon the Zebulunite died, and was buried in Aijalon in the land of Zebulun.

13 Alò, Abdon, fis a Hillel la, Piratonit lan te jije Israël apre li.

And after him Abdon the son of Hillel the Pirathonite judged Israel.

14 Li te gen karant fis avèk trant pitit pitit ki te monte sou swasann-dis bourik. Li te jije Israël pandan uit ane.

And he had forty sons and thirty sons’ sons, that rode on threescore and ten ass colts: and he judged Israel eight years.

15 Epi Abdon, fis a Hillel la, Piratonit lan te mouri e te antere nan Pirathon nan peyi Ephraïm nan, nan peyi ti mòn ki te pou Amalekit yo.

And 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.
