Mahukunta 12
1 Mutanen Efraim suka tattaro mayaƙansu, suka haye zuwa Zafon suka cewa Yefta, “Don me ka tafi ka yaƙi Ammonawa ba ka gayyace mu ba? Za mu ƙone gidanka a kanka.”
Now the men of Ephraim came together and took up arms and went over to Zaphon; and they said to Jephthah, Why did you go over to make war against the children of Ammon without sending for us to go with you? Now we will put your house on fire over you.
2 Yefta ya ce, “Ni da mutanena mun yi ta jayayya sosai da Ammonawa, ko da yake na kira ku, amma ba ku cece ni daga hannuwansu ba.
And Jephthah said to them, I and my people were in danger, and the children of Ammon were very cruel to us, and when I sent for you, you gave me no help against them.
3 Da na ga ba za ku taimake ni ba, sai na yi kasai da raina na kuwa haye don in yaƙi Ammonawa, Ubangiji kuwa ya ba ni nasara a kansu. To, don me kuka zo yau don ku yaƙe ni?”
So when I saw that there was no help to be had from you, I put my life in my hand and went over against the children of Ammon, and the Lord gave them into my hands: why then have you come up to me this day to make war on me?
4 Sa’an nan Yefta ya tara mutanen Gileyad wuri guda ya kuma yaƙi Efraim. Mutanen Gileyad suka fatattake su domin mutanen Efraim sun ce, “Ku Mutanen Gileyad masu neman mafaka ne cikin Efraim da Manasse.”
Then Jephthah got together all the men of Gilead and made war on Ephraim; and the men of Gilead overcame Ephraim.
5 Mutanen Gileyad suka ƙwace mashigan Urdun masu zuwa Efraim, duk sa’ad da wani daga Efraim da ya tsira ya ce, “Bari in haye,” sai mutane Gileyad su ce “Kai mutumin Efraim ne?” In ya ce, “A’a,”
And the Gileadites took the crossing-places of Jordan against the Ephraimites; and when any of the men of Ephraim who had gone in flight said, let me go over; the men of Gilead said to him, Are you an Ephraimite? And if he said, No;
6 sai su ce, “To, ka ce, ‘Shibbolet.’” In ya ce, “Sibbolet,” saboda ba sa iya faɗin kalmar daidai, sai su kama shi su kashe a mashigan Urdun. Aka kashe mutanen Efraim dubu arba’in da biyu a ta haka.
Then they said to him, Now say Shibboleth; and he said Sibboleth, and was not able to say it in the right way; then they took him and put him to death at the crossing-places of Jordan; and at that time forty-two thousand Ephraimites were put to death.
