Mpitsara 12
1 Nifanontoñe o nte-Efraimeo naho nimb’e Tsafone mb’eo, nanao ty hoe amy Ieftake, Ino ty nitsaha’ areo mb’eo hialia’o amo nte-Amoneo f’ie tsy nitoka anay hindreza’ay? Ho forototoe’ay añ’ afo ama’o ty anjomba’o.
And the men of Ephraim gathered themselves together, and went northward, and said unto Jephthah, Wherefore passedst thou over to fight against the children of Ammon, and didst not call us to go with thee? we will burn thine house upon thee with fire.
2 Le hoe ty natoi’ Ieftake am’ iareo, Toe niampohek’ amo ana’ i Amoneo naho ondatiko iraho te nikanjy anahareo, f’ie tsy nañaro ahy am-pità’ iareo.
And Jephthah said unto 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 Aa kanao tsy narova’ areo le namoeako fiay nitsake mb’ amo ana’ i Amoneo mb’eo, vaho natolo’ Iehovà an-tañako. Aa le ino ty nitroara’ areo amako androany hialia’ areo?
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 Yhwh delivered them into my hand: wherefore then are ye come up unto me this day, to fight against me?
4 Natonto’ Ieftake o lahilahi’ i Gilade iabio naho nialy amy Efraime; vaho linafa’ o nte-Giladeo t’i Efraime, ami’ty natao’ iareo ty hoe: Ondaty gike e Efraime nahareo nte Gilade añivo’ i Efraime naho i Menasè ao.
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 Rinambe’ o nte-Giladeo amy Efraime o fitsaha’ Iordaney boake Efraimeo, ie amy zao naho teo ty nipoliotse amo nte-Efraimeo nanao ty hoe: Ehe angao hitsake? Le nañontane aze o nte-Giladeo ty hoe: nte Efraime hao? Aa naho Tsie ty natao’e;
And the Gileadites took the passages of Jordan before the Ephraimites: and it was so, that when those Ephraimites which were escaped said, Let me go over; that the men of Gilead said unto him, Art thou an Ephraimite? If he said, Nay;
6 le nanoe’ iareo ama’e ty hoe: Ano ty hoe: Sibolete, te mone nanao ty hoe Tsibolete—ie toe tsy nahafanoñoñe’e—le nitsepaheñe vaho vinono’ iareo amo fitsaha’ Iordaneio; nte Efraime efats’ ale-tsi-ro’ arivo ty nikorovoke henane zay.
Then said they unto 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 passages of Jordan: and there fell at that time of the Ephraimites forty and two thousand.
7 Enen-taoñe ty nizakà’ Ieftake Israele, le nivilasy t’Ieftake nte-Gilade, vaho nalentek’ an-drova’ o nte-Giladeo.
And Jephthah judged Israel six years. Then died Jephthah the Gileadite, and was buried in one of the cities of Gilead.
8 Nanonjohy aze, t’Ibtsane nte-Betlekheme nizaka Israele.
And after him Ibzan of Beth–lehem judged Israel.
9 Nanañ’ anadahy telo-polo re naho anak’ ampela telopolo naho naondra’e añe vaho nampimoahe’e boak’ añe ka ty anak’ ampela ho a o ana-dahi’eo. Nizaka Israele fito taoñe
And he had thirty sons, and thirty daughters, whom he sent abroad, and took in thirty daughters from abroad for his sons. And he judged Israel seven years.
10 le nivilasy t’Ibtsane, vaho nalenteke e Betlekheme ao.
Then died Ibzan, and was buried at Beth–lehem.
11 Ie añe le nizaka Israele folo taoñe t’i Elone nte-Zebolone.
And after him Elon, a Zebulonite, judged Israel; and he judged Israel ten years.
12 Ie nihomake t’i Elone nte-Zebolone, le nalenteke Aialone an-tane Zebolone ao.
And Elon the Zebulonite died, and was buried in Aijalon in the country of Zebulun.
13 Nanonjohy aze nizaka Israele t’i Abdone ana’ i Mpandrenge nte-Piratone.
And after him Abdon the son of Hillel, a Pirathonite, judged Israel.
14 Nanañ’ana-dahy efa-polo re naho afe telo-polo mpiningitse ana-borìke fitom-polo, nizaka valo taoñe.
And he had forty sons and thirty nephews, that rode on threescore and ten donkey colts: and he judged Israel eight years.
15 Nivilasy t’i Abdone ana’ i Mpandrenge nte-Piratone vaho nalenteke e Piratone an-tane Efraime am-bohi’ i Amaleke ao.
And Abdon the son of Hillel the Pirathonite died, and was buried in Pirathon in the land of Ephraim, in the mount of the Amalekites.
