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.”
And the men of Ephraim gathered themselves together, and went northward, and said to Jephthah, Why didst thou pass 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 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 at great strife with the children of Ammon; and when I called you, ye delivered me not out of their hands.
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?”
And when I saw that ye delivered me not, I put my life in my hands, and passed over against the children of Ammon, and the LORD delivered them into my hand: why then have ye come up to me this day, to fight against 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 gathered together all the men of Gilead, and fought with Ephraim: and the men of Gilead smote Ephraim, because they said, Ye Gileadites are fugitives of Ephraim among the Ephraimites, and among the Manassites.
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 fords of Jordan before the Ephraimites: and it was so, that when those Ephraimites who had escaped said, Let me go over; that the men of Gilead said to him, Art thou an Ephraimite? If he said, Nay;
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 said they to him, Say now Shibboleth: and he said Sibboleth: for he could not frame to pronounce it right. Then they took him, and slew him at the fords of Jordan: and there fell at that time of the Ephraimites forty and two thousand.
