Bilombe 12
1 Bato ya Efrayimi basanganaki, bakatisaki na ngambo ya Tsafoni mpe balobaki na Jefite: — Mpo na nini okatisaki mondelo ya bato ya Amoni mpo na kobundisa bango, bongo obengaki biso te mpo ete tokende na yo elongo? Tokotumba yo elongo na ndako na yo!
And the men of Ephraim were gathered together, and passed to Zaphon; and they said unto Jephthah: 'Wherefore 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 Jefite azongiselaki bango: — Ngai mpe bato na ngai, tozalaki na kobendana makasi na bato ya Amoni; mpe tango nabengaki bino, bokangolaki ngai te wuta na maboko na bango.
And Jephthah said unto them: 'I and my people were at great strife with the children of Ammon; and when I called you, ye saved me not out of their hand.
3 Tango namonaki ete bokangoli na bino ngai te, nakabaki bomoi na ngai, mpe nakatisaki ngai moko nzela ya bato ya Amoni mpo na kobundisa bango; mpe Yawe apesaki ngai elonga likolo na bango. Sik’oyo, mpo na nini boyei lelo kobundisa ngai?
And when I saw that ye saved me not, I put my life in my hand, and passed over against the children of Ammon, and the LORD delivered them into my hand; wherefore then are ye come up unto me this day, to fight against me?'
4 Jefite asangisaki mibali nyonso ya Galadi, mpe babundisaki bato ya Efrayimi. Bato ya Galadi balongaki bato ya Efrayimi; mpe bato ya Efrayimi balobaki: « Bino bato ya Galadi, bozali na bino kaka bato oyo bokimaki wuta na Efrayimi mpe na Manase. »
Then Jephthah gathered together all the men of Gilead, and fought with Ephraim; and the men of Gilead smote Ephraim, because they said: 'Ye are fugitives of Ephraim, ye Gileadites, in the midst of Ephraim, and in the midst of Manasseh.'
5 Bato ya Galadi bakangaki esika oyo bakatisaka Yordani na makolo, pene ya etuka ya Efrayimi. Mpe tango nyonso mokimi moko ya Efrayimi azalaki koloba: « Tika ngai nakatisa, » bato ya Galadi bazalaki kotuna ye: « Ozali moto ya Efrayimi? » Soki azongisi: « Te, »
And the Gileadites took the fords of the Jordan against the Ephraimites; and it was so, that when any of the fugitives of Ephraim said: 'Let me go over,' the men of Gilead said unto him: 'Art thou an Ephraimite?' If he said: 'Nay';
6 bazalaki kosenga ete aloba: « Shiboleti; » soki alobi: « Siboleti, » mpo ete akoki te koloba yango malamu, bazalaki kokanga ye mpe koboma ye na esika oyo bakatisaka Yordani na makolo. Na tango wana, babomaki bato ya Efrayimi nkoto tuku minei na mibale.
then said they unto him: 'Say now Shibboleth'; and he said 'Sibboleth'; for he could not frame to pronounce it right; then they laid hold on him, and slew him at the fords of the Jordan; and there fell at that time of Ephraim forty and two thousand.
7 Jefite, moto ya Galadi, akambaki Isalaele mibu motoba. Sima na yango, akufaki, mpe bakundaki ye kati na engumba moko ya Galadi.
And Jephthah judged Israel six years. Then died Jephthah the Gileadite, and was buried in one of the cities of Gilead.
8 Sima na Jefite, Ibitsani, moto ya Beteleemi, akambaki Isalaele.
And after him Ibzan of Beth-lehem judged Israel.
9 Azalaki na bana mibali tuku misato mpe bana basi tuku misato. Abalisaki bana na ye ya basi na libanda ya libota ya botata na ye, mpe ayeisaki bilenge basi tuku misato ya bikolo mosusu mpo na bana na ye ya mibali. Ibitsani akambaki Isalaele mibu sambo.
And he had thirty sons, and thirty daughters he sent abroad, and thirty daughters he brought in from abroad for his sons. And he judged Israel seven years.
10 Ibitsani akufaki, mpe bakundaki ye kati na Beteleemi.
and Ibzan died, and was buried at Beth-lehem.
11 Sima na Ibitsani, Eloni, moto ya libota ya Zabuloni, akambaki Isalaele mibu zomi.

12 Eloni akufaki, mpe bakundaki ye kati na mboka Ayaloni, kati na etuka ya Zabuloni.
And Elon the Zebulunite died, and was buried in Aijalon in the land of Zebulun.
13 Sima na Eloni, Abidoni, mwana mobali ya Ileli, moto ya mokili ya Piratoni, akambaki Isalaele.
And after him Abdon the son of Hillel the Pirathonite judged Israel.
14 Azalaki na bana mibali tuku minei mpe bakoko ya mibali tuku misato oyo babandaki kotambola likolo ya ba-ane tuku sambo. Akambaki Isalaele mibu mwambe.
And he had forty sons and thirty sons' sons, that rode on threescore and ten ass colts; and he judged Israel eight years.
15 Abidoni, mwana mobali ya Ileli, akufaki, mpe bakundaki ye na Piratoni, kati na etuka ya Efrayimi, na mokili ya bangomba ya bato ya Amaleki.
And Abdon the son of Hillel the Pirathonite died, and was buried in Pirathon in the land of Ephraim, in the hill-country of the Amalekites.
