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 me of Ephraim gathered themselues together, and went Northwarde, and saide vnto Iphtah, Wherefore wentest thou to fight against the children of Ammon, and diddest not call vs to goe with thee? we will therefore burne thine house vpon 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 Iphtah said vnto them, I and my people were at great strife with the children of Ammon, and when I called you, ye deliuered me not out of their handes.

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?”

So when I sawe that ye deliuered me not, I put my life in mine hands, and went vpon the children of Ammon: so the Lord deliuered them into mine handes. Wherefore then are ye come vpon me nowe 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 Iphtah gathered all the men of Gilead, and fought with Ephraim: and the men of Gilead smote Ephraim, because they said, Ye Gileadites are runnagates of Ephraim among the Ephraimites, and among the Manassites.

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”,

Also the Gileadites tooke the passages of Iorden before the Ephraimites, and when the Ephraimites that were escaped, saide, Let me passe, then the men of Gilead said vnto 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 vnto him, Say nowe Shibboleth: and he said, Sibboleth: for he could not so pronounce: then they tooke him, and slewe him at the passages of Iorden: and there fel at that time of the Ephraimites two and fourtie 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 Iphtah iudged Israel sixe yeere: then dyed Iphtah the Gileadite, and was buryed in one of the cities of Gilead.

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

After him Ibzan of Beth-lehem iudged 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.

Who had thirtie sonnes and thirtie daughters, which he sent out, and tooke in thirtie daughters from abroade for his sonnes. and he iudged Israel seuen yeere.

10 Konsa, Ibtsan te mouri e te antere Bethléhem.

Then Ibzan died, and was buryed at Bethlehem.

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

And after him iudged Israel Elon, a Zebulonite, and he iudged Israel tenne yeere.

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

Then Elon the Zebulonite dyed, and was buryed in Aijalon in the countrey of Zebulun.

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

And after him Abdon the sonne of Hillel the Pirathonite iudged 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 fourty sonnes and thirtie nephewes that rode on seuentie assecoltes: and he iudged Israel eight yeeres.

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 dyed Abdon the sonne of Hillel the Pirathonite, and was buryed in Pirathon, in ye lande of Ephraim, in the Mount of the Amalekites.
