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 Jefta zaghachiri ha sị, “Akpọrọ m unu mgbe mụ na ndị m na ndị Amọn na-ese okwu dị ukwu ma unu jụrụ ịbịa. Unu azọpụtaghị m site nʼaka ha.
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 Mgbe m hụrụ na unu achọghị inyere anyị aka, e tinyere m ndụ m nʼaka m, gabiga nʼofe nke ọzọ ibuso ndị Amọn agha. Ma Onyenwe anyị nyeere m aka imeri ha. Ugbu a, nʼihi gịnị ka unu ji bịa ịlụso m ọgụ taa?”
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 Jefta kpọkọtara ndị ikom Gilead pụọ buso ndị Ifrem agha. Ndị Gilead tidara ha nʼala nʼihi na ndị Ifrem sịrị, “Ndị gbapụrụ agbapụ site nʼIfrem na Manase ka unu bụ.”

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 ha sịrị, “Ọ dị mma, kpọọ, ‘Shibolet.’” Ọ bụrụ na onye ahụ akpọ, “Sibolet,” nʼihi na ọ kpọpụtaghị mkpụrụ okwu ahụ nke ọma, ha na-akpụrụ ya gbuo ya na ngabiga mmiri Jọdan. Ọ bụ ọnụọgụgụ iri puku anọ, na puku abụọ ndị Ifrem ka e gburu mgbe ahụ.
