Balam 12

1 Abasajja ba Efulayimu ne bayitibwa okusomoka okulaga mu Zafoni. Ne bagamba Yefusa nti, “Lwaki wagenda okulwanyisa abaana ba Amoni, n’otatuyita kugenda naawe? Tugenda kukwokera mu nnyumba yo.”

Jo-Efraim nochoko jolweny mage, ma gidhi Zafon kendo giwachone Jeftha niya, “Angʼo ma omiyo ne idhi kedo gi jo-Amon ma ok iluongowa mondo wadhi kodi? Wadhi wangʼo odi ka in e iye.”

2 Yefusa n’abaddamu nti, “Nze n’abantu bange twatawaana nnyo okulwanyisa abaana ba Amoni, era nabakoowoola mujje mutubeere, naye temwajja kutubeera kuva mu mukono gwabwe.

Jeftha nodwoko niya, An kod joga ne wanie kedo mager gi jo-Amon, ne waluongou to ne utamoru biro resowa e lwetgi.

3 Bwe nalaba nga temuzze kutubeera, ne nteeka obulamu bwange mu ngalo zange, ne nsomoka okulwana n’abaana ba Amoni, era Mukama Katonda n’abagabula mu mukono gwange. Kaakano kiki ekibaleeta gye ndi okulwana nange leero?”

Kane aneno ni ok unyal konya, nakawo ngimana e lweta mi angʼado adhi mondo aked gi jo-Amon, kendo Jehova Nyasaye nomiya loch kuomgi. Koro, angʼoma omiyo ubiro kawuono mondo uked koda?

4 Awo Yefusa n’akuŋŋaanya abantu b’e Gireyaadi bonna, ne balwanyisa Efulayimu. Abasajja ab’e Gireyaadi baabalwanyisa kubanga Efulayimu baayogera nti, “Mmwe muli bakyewaggula ba Efulayimu ab’e Gireyaadi, wakati mu Efulayimu ne mu Manase.”

Omiyo Jeftha noluongo jo-Gilead duto mi gikedo gi jo-Efraim. Jo-Gilead nonegogi nikech jo-Efraim nosewacho niya, “Un jo-Gilead un mana jonjore mane oa Efraim gi Manase.”

5 Ab’e Gireyaadi ne bawamba ebifo bya Yoludaani okusomokerwa okutuuka mu Efulayimu, era bwe waabangawo ku bakomawo aba Efulayimu eyayagalanga okusomoka, abasajja ab’e Gireyaadi nga bamubuuza nti, “Oli Mwefulayimu?”

Jo-Gilead nomako kuonde miyorogo Jordan mondo jo-Efraim kik ngʼadi. Sa moro amora mane ja-Efraim dwaro ngʼado kanyo to ne okwayo ni yiene okadhi odhi loka cha. To kane okwayo kamano; to ja-Gilead ne penje ka bende en ja-Efraim. To kane odwoko ni ok en ja-Efraim,

6 Bwe yeegananga, nga bamugamba ayogere nti, “Shibbolesi.” Bwe yayogeranga nti, “Sibbolesi,” kubanga teyayinzanga kukyogera bulungi, ng’akwatibwa era ng’attibwa awo awasomokerwa ku Yoludaani. Mu biro ebyo, mu Efulayimu ne mufaamu abantu emitwalo ena mu enkumi bbiri.

to negiwachone ni mondo owach ni Shiboleth. To kane ok onyal luongo wachno maber, mi oluonge mana ni Siboleth, to negimake mi ginege e dho wath miyorogo aora Jordan. Jo-Efraim alufu piero angʼwen gariyo nonegi odiechiengno.
