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.”
Then the men of Ephraim assembled and crossed the Jordan to Zaphon. They said to Jephthah, “Why have you crossed over to fight the Ammonites without calling us to go with you? We will burn your house down with you inside!”
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.
But Jephthah replied, “My people and I had a serious conflict with the Ammonites, and when I called, you did not save me out of their hands.
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?”
When I saw that you would not save me, I risked my life and crossed over to the Ammonites, and the LORD delivered them into my hand. Why then have you come today 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.”
Jephthah then gathered all the men of Gilead and fought against Ephraim. And the men of Gilead struck them down because the Ephraimites had said, “You Gileadites are fugitives in Ephraim, living in the territories of Ephraim and 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”,
The Gileadites captured the fords of the Jordan leading to Ephraim, and whenever a fugitive from Ephraim would say, “Let me cross over,” the Gileadites would ask him, “Are you an Ephraimite?” If he answered, “No,”
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.
they told him, “Please say Shibboleth.” If he said, “Sibboleth,” because he could not pronounce it correctly, they seized him and killed him at the fords of the Jordan. So at that time 42,000 Ephraimites were killed.
7 Jephthé te jije Israël pandan sis ane. Epi Jephthé, Galaadit la te mouri e te antere nan youn nan vil nan Galaad yo.
Jephthah judged Israel six years, and when he died, he was buried in one of the cities of Gilead.
8 Alò, Ibtsan a Bethléhem te jije Israël apre li.
After Jephthah, Ibzan of Bethlehem 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.
He had thirty sons, as well as thirty daughters whom he gave in marriage to men outside his clan; and for his sons he brought back thirty wives from elsewhere. Ibzan judged Israel seven years.
10 Konsa, Ibtsan te mouri e te antere Bethléhem.
Then Ibzan died, and he was buried in Bethlehem.
11 Alò, Élon, Zabilonit lan te jije Israël apre li. Li te jije Israël pandan dis ane.
After Ibzan, Elon the Zebulunite judged Israel ten years.
12 Konsa, Élon, Zabilonit lan te mouri e te antere nan Ajalon nan peyi a Zabulon.
Then Elon the Zebulunite died, and he was buried in Aijalon in the land of Zebulun.
13 Alò, Abdon, fis a Hillel la, Piratonit lan te jije Israël apre li.
After Elon, Abdon son of Hillel, from Pirathon, 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.
He had forty sons and thirty grandsons, who rode on seventy donkeys. 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.
Then Abdon son of Hillel, from Pirathon, died, and he was buried at Pirathon in Ephraim, in the hill country of the Amalekites.
