Mwet Nununku 12
1 Mwet Ephraim elos akola in mweun, na elos fahla sasla Infacl Jordan ac som nu Zaphon ac fahk nu sel Jephthah, “Efu ku kom som mweuni mwet Ammon ac tia suli kut? Kut ac esukak lohm sum an nu fom!”
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 Na Jephthah el topuk ac fahk nu selos, “Nga ac mwet luk uh tuh oru alein na yohk se nu sin mwet Ammon, ac kut pangon kowos, tuh kowos tiana tuku kasrekut.
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 Ke nga akilenak lah kowos ac tia kasreyu, nga pilesrala moul luk ac sifacna som ainulos, ac LEUM GOD El ase kutangla nu sik. Na efu ku kowos tuku in mweuniyu misenge?”
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 Ke ma inge Jephthah el pangoneni mwet Gilead nukewa ac elos som mweuni mwet Ephraim ac kutangulosla. (Mweyen mwet Ephraim elos tuh fahk ouinge, “Kowos mwet Gilead su muta in acn Ephraim ac Manasseh, kowos mwet kaing liki kut tari!”)
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 Mwet Gilead elos sruokya acn nukewa ma mwet uh muta ut we in alukela Infacl Jordan, tuh mwet Ephraim elos in kofla kaing ut we. Mwet Ephraim se fin srike in kaingla ac siyuk elan fahla ke sie sin acn inge, na mwet Gilead elos ac siyuk sel, “Kom mwet Ephraim se?” Na el fin fahk mu “Mo,”
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 na elos ac sap elan fahk kas se inge, “Shibboleth.” Tuh el fin fahk “Sibboleth,” (ke sripen mwet Ephraim uh kofla fahkla suwohs kas sac) na mwet Gilead elos ac sruokya mwet sac ac unilya na insacn, ke soko sin inkanek in foroht forma ke Infacl Jordan. Mwet Ephraim angngaul luo tausin pa anwuki in pacl sac.
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.
