Lunakanawai 12
1 A KOAKOA mai la na kanaka o ka Eperaima, a hele ae la i ka aoao akau, i aku la ia Iepeta, No ke aha la oe i hele aku e kaua aku i na mamo a Amona, aole kii mai ia makou e hele pu me oe? E puhi ana makou i kou hale i ke ahi maluna ou.
And the men of Ephraim are called together, and pass over northward, and say to Jephthah, “Why have you passed over to fight against the sons of Ammon, and have not called on us to go with you? We burn your house with fire over you.”
2 I mai la o Iepeta ia lakou, He kanaka hakaka nui loa au me na mamo a Amona, a o ko'u poe kanaka kekahi; a i ko'u hea ana aku ia oukou, aole oukou i hoopakele mai ia'u, mai ko lakou lima mai.
And Jephthah says to them, “I have been a man of great strife (I and my people) with the sons of Ammon, and I call you, and you have not saved me out of their hand,
3 A ike aku la au, aole oukou i hoopakele mai ia'u, alaila waiho iho la au i ko'u ola ma kuu lima, a hele ku e aku la i na mamo a Amona. Haawi mai no o Iehova ia lakou iloko o kuu lima. No ke aha la hoi oukou i hele mai ai ia'u i keia la e kaua mai ia'u?
and I see that you are not a savior, and I put my life in my hand, and pass over to the sons of Ammon, and YHWH gives them into my hand—and why have you come up to me this day to fight against me?”
4 Alaila hoakoakoa mai la o Iepeta i na kanaka o Gileada, a kaua pu iho la me ka Eperaima. Luku aku la na kanaka o Gileada i ka Eperaima, no ka mea, olelo lakou, O oukou, o ko Gileada, he poe aea oukou no Eperaima, e noho ana mawaena o ka Eperaima, a me ka Manase.
And Jephthah gathered all the men of Gilead, and fights with Ephraim, and the men of Gilead strike Ephraim, because they said, “You Gileadites [are] fugitives of Ephraim, in the midst of Ephraim—in the midst of Manasseh.”
5 Lilo iho la na ahua o Ioredane i ka Gileada, mamua o ka Eperaima. A ina i hele mai kekahi o ka Eperaima, i pakele, a olelo mai, E hele paha wau i kela aoao; alaila ninau ae la na kanaka o Gileada ia ia, No ka Eperaima oe? A ina olelo mai oia, Aole;
And Gilead captures the passages of the Jordan to Ephraim, and it has been, when [any of] the fugitives of Ephraim say, “Let me pass over,” and the men of Gilead say to him, “[Are] you an Ephraimite?” And he says, “No”;
6 Alaila, olelo mai lakou ia ia, E i iho oe, Sehiboleta. I mai la kela, Siboleta; no ka mea, aole hiki ia ia ke olelo pololei pela. Alaila hoopaa lakou ia ia, a pepehi no ma na ahua o Ioredane. Ia manawa haule na kanaka o Eperaima, he kanahakumamalua tausani.
that they say to him, “Now say, Shibboleth”; and he says, “Sibboleth,” and is not prepared to speak right—and they seize him, and slaughter him at the passages of the Jordan, and there fall at that time, of Ephraim, forty-two chiefs.
7 Hooponopono o Iepeta i ka Iseraela, i eono makahiki. Alaila, make o Iepeta no Gileada, a kanuia oia ma kekahi o na kulanakauhale o Gileada.
And Jephthah judged Israel [for] six years, and Jephthah the Gileadite dies, and is buried in [one of] the cities of Gilead.
8 A mahope iho ona, na Ibezana o Betelehema i hooponopono i ka Iseraela.
And after him Ibzan of Beth-Lehem judges Israel,
9 He kanakolu ana keikikane, a he kanakolu kaikamahine. Hoouna aku la ia ia lakou i kahi e, a lawe mai i kanakolu kaikamahine, mai kahi e, na kana poe keikikane. Nana i hooponopono i ka Iseraela, i ehiku makahiki.
and he has thirty sons, and thirty daughters he gave away [in marriage], and thirty daughters he brought in from outside for his sons; and he judges Israel [for] seven years.
10 Alaila make o Ibezana, a kanuia ma Betelehema.
And Ibzan dies, and is buried in Beth-Lehem.
11 A mahope iho ona, hooponopono o Elona, no ka Zebuluna i ka Iseraela. Hooponopono ia i ka Iseraela, he umi makahiki.
And after him Elon the Zebulunite judges Israel, and he judges Israel [for] ten years,
12 A make iho la o Elona, no ka Zebuluna, a kauia iho la ia ma Aialona, ma ka aina o Zebuluna.
and Elon the Zebulunite dies, and is buried in Aijalon, in the land of Zebulun.
13 A mahope iho ona, na Abedona, ke keiki a Hilela, no ka Piratona, i hooponopono i ka Iseraela.
And after him, Abdon son of Hillel, the Pirathonite, judges Israel,
14 He kanaha kana poe keikikane, a he kanakolu moopuna kane, a holo lakou maluna o na hoki keiki, he kanahiku. Nana i hooponopono i ka Iseraela, i ewalu makahiki.
and he has forty sons, and thirty grandsons, riding on seventy donkey-colts, and he judges Israel [for] eight years.
15 Make iho la o Abedona, ke keiki a Hilela no Piratona, a kanuia iho la ia ma Piratona, ka aina o Eperaima ma ka mauna o ka Ameleka.
And Abdon son of Hillel, the Pirathonite, dies, and is buried in Pirathon, in the land of Ephraim, in the hill-country of the Amalekite.
