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.
The men of Ephraim were gathered together, and passed northward; and they said to Jephthah, “Why did you pass over to fight against the children of Ammon, and didn’t call us to go with you? We will burn your house around you 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.
Jephthah said to them, “I and my people were at great strife with the children of Ammon; and when I called you, you didn’t save me out of their hand.
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?
When I saw that you didn’t save me, I put my life in my hand, and passed over against the children of Ammon, and Yahweh delivered them into my hand. Why then have you come up to me today, 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. The men of Gilead struck Ephraim, because they said, “You are fugitives of Ephraim, you Gileadites, in the middle of Ephraim, and in the middle of Manasseh.”
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;
The Gileadites took the fords of the Jordan against the Ephraimites. Whenever a fugitive of Ephraim said, “Let me go over,” the men of Gilead said to him, “Are you an Ephraimite?” If he said, “No;”
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 they said to him, “Now say ‘Shibboleth;’” and he said “Sibboleth”; for he couldn’t manage to pronounce it correctly, then they seized him and killed him at the fords of the Jordan. At that time, forty-two thousand of Ephraim fell.
7 Enen-taoñe ty nizakà’ Ieftake Israele, le nivilasy t’Ieftake nte-Gilade, vaho nalentek’ an-drova’ o nte-Giladeo.
