Uk-ukom 12
1 Napaayaban dagiti lallaki iti Efraim; limmasatda iti Safon ket kinunada kenni Jefte, “Apay a limmasatka a makiranget kadagiti tattao ti Ammon ket saannakami nga inayaban a kumuyog kenka? Iramandaka iti balaymo a puoran.”
But behold there arose a sedition in Ephraim. And passing towards the north, they said to Jephte: When thou wentest to fight against the children of Ammon, why wouldst thou not call us, that we might go with thee? Therefore we will burn thy house.
2 Kinuna ni Jefte kadakuada, “Siak ken dagiti tattaok ket adda nakaro a saanmi a pagkikinnaawatan kadagiti tattao ti Ammon. Idi immawagak kadakayo, saandak nga inispal manipud kadakuada.
And he answered them: I and my people were at great strife with the children of Ammon: and I called you to assist me, and you would not do it.
3 Idi nakitak a saandak nga ispalen, impustak ti biagko ket rinautko dagiti tattao ti Ammon, ket pinagballiginak ni Yahweh. Apay nga immaykayo tapno makiranget kaniak ita nga aldaw?”
And when I saw this, I put my life in my own hands, and passed over against the children of Ammon, and the Lord delivered them into my hands. What have I deserved, that you should rise up to fight against me?
4 Inummong ni Jefte dagiti amin a lallaki iti Galaad ket kinarangetna ti Efraim. Rinaut dagiti lallaki iti Galaad dagiti lallaki iti Efraim gapu ta kinunada, “Dakayo a taga-Galaad ket dagiti naglibas nga aglemlemmeng iti Efraim-iti Efraim ken Manases.”
Then calling to him all the men of Galaad, he fought against Ephraim: and the men of Galaad defeated Ephraim, because he had said: Galaad is a fugitive of Ephraim, and dwelleth in the midst of Ephraim and Manasses.
5 Sinakup dagiti taga-Galaad dagiti pagballasiwan iti Jordan nga agturong iti Efraim. Ket no adda siasinoman kadagiti nakalasat iti Efraim ti agkuna, “Palubosandak a bumallasiw iti karayan,” ibaga dagiti lallaki iti Galaad kenkuana, “Taga-Efraim ka kadi? No kunana a, “Saan,”
And the Galaadites secured the fords of the Jordan, by which Ephraim was to return. And when any one of the number of Ephraim came thither in the flight, and said: I beseech you let me pass: the Galaadites said to him: Art thou not an Ephraimite? If he said: I am not:
6 ket ibagada kenkuana, “Ibalikasmo ti: Shibbolet.” Ket no kunana a “Sibboleth” (ta saanna a maibalikas nga usto ti sao), tiliwen ken papatayen dagiti taga-Galaad isuna idiay pagballasiwan iti Jordan. Uppat a pulo ket dua a ribu a taga-Efraim ti napapatay iti dayta a tiempo.
They asked him: Say then, Scibboleth, which is interpreted, An ear of corn. But he answered, Sibboleth, not being able to express an ear of corn by the same letter. Then presently they took him and killed him in the very passage of the Jordan. And there fell at that time of Ephraim two and forty thousand.
7 Nagserbi ni Jefte a kas ukom iti Israel iti innem a tawen. Kalpasanna, natay ni Jefte a taga-Galaad ket naitanem iti maysa kadagiti siudad iti Galaad.
And Jephte the Galaadite judged Israel six years: and he died, and was buried in his city of Galaad.
8 Idi natay isuna, simmukat kenkuana ni Ibzan a taga Betlehem a nagserbi a kas ukom iti entero nga Israel.
After him Abesan of Bethlehem judged Israel:
9 Adda tallopulo a putotna a lallaki. Impaasawana dagiti tallopulo a putotna a babbai, ken nangala isuna manipud iti ruar iti tallopulo a putot a babbai dagiti dadduma a lallaki nga agpaay kadagiti putotna a lallaki. Nagbalin isuna nga ukom iti Israel iti pito a tawen.
He had thirty sons, and as many daughters, whom he sent abroad, and gave to husbands, and took wives for his sons of the same number, bringing them into his house. And he judged Israel seven years:
10 Natay ni Ibzan ket naitanem idiay Betlehem.
And he died, and was buried in Bethlehem.
11 Simmukat kenkuana ni Elon a taga-Zabulon a nagserbi a kas ukom iti entero nga Israel. Nagbalin isuna nga ukom ti Israel iti sangapulo a tawen.
To him succeeded Ahialon a Zabulonite: and he judged Israel ten years:
12 Natay ni Elon a Zabulonita ket naitanem idiay Aijalon, iti daga ti Zabulon.
And he died, and was buried in Zabulon.
13 Simmukat kenkuana ni Abdon a putot ni Hillel a taga-Piraton a nagserbi a kas ukom iti entero nga Israel.
After him Abdon, the son of Illel, a Pharathonite, judged Israel:
14 Adda uppat a pulo a putotna a lallaki ken tallopulo nga appoko a lallaki. Nakasakayda iti pitopulo nga asno, ket nagbalin isuna nga ukom iti Israel iti walo a tawen.
And he had forty sons, and of them thirty grandsons, mounted upon seventy ass colts, and he judged Israel eight years:
15 Natay ni Abdon a putot ni Hillel a taga-Piraton ket naitanem idiay Piraton iti daga ti Efraim, iti katurturodan a pagilian dagiti Amalekita.
And he died, and was buried in Pharathon in the land of Ephraim, in the mount of Amalech.
