< न्यायकर्ताहरू 12 >
1 एफ्राइमका मानिसहरूका निम्ति एउटा बोलावट आयो । तिनीहरू सापोनको बाटो गए र यिप्तालाई भने, “अम्मोनका मानिसहरूसँग युद्ध गर्न तिमी किन गयौ र तिमीसँगै जान हामीलाई तिमीले किन बोलाएनौ? हामी तिम्रो घरलाई तिमीसँगै जलाइदिनेछौं ।”
A call went out to the men of Ephraim; they passed through Zaphon and said to Jephthah, “Why did you pass through to fight against the people of Ammon and did not call us to go with you? We will burn your house down over you.”
2 यिप्ताले तिनीहरूलाई भने, “म र मेरा मानिसहरू अम्मोनका मानिहरूसँग ठुलो झगडामा थियौं । जब मैले तिमीहरूलाई बोलाएँ, तिमीहरूले मलाई तिनीहरूबाट बचाएनौ ।
Jephthah said to them, “I and my people were in a great conflict with the people of Ammon. When I called you, you did not rescue me from them.
3 तिमीहरूले मलाई बचाउन नआएको जब मैले देखें, तब मैले आफ्नो प्राणलाई आफ्नै हातमा राखें र आम्मोनका मानिसहरूका विरुद्धमा गएँ, र परमप्रभुले मलाई विजय दिनुभयो । तिमीहरू आज मेरो विरुद्धमा युद्ध लड्न किन आएका छौ?”
When I saw that you did not rescue me, When I saw that you did not rescue me, I put my life in my own hand and passed through against the people of Ammon, and Yahweh gave me victory. Why have you come to fight against me today?”
4 यिप्ताले गिलादका सबै मानिसहरूलाई भेला गराए र एफ्राइमको विरुद्ध युद्ध लडे । गिलादका मानिसहरूले एफ्राइमका मानिसहरूलाई आक्रमण गरे किनभने तिनीहरूले यसो भने, “तिमीहरू, गिलादीहरू एफ्राइम— एफ्राइम र मनश्शेमाबाट भागेर गएकाहरू हौ ।”
Jephthah gathered together all the men of Gilead and he fought against Ephraim. The men of Gilead attacked the men of Ephraim because they said, “You Gileadites are fugitives in Ephraim—in Ephraim and Manasseh.”
5 गिलादीहरूले एफ्राइमतर्फ जाने यर्दनका जँघारहरू कब्जा गरे । जब एफ्राइमका बाँचेकाहरूले यसो भने, “मलाई नदीपारि जान दिनुहोस्,” गिलादका मानिसहरूले त्यसलाई यस्तो भन्थे, “के तँ एफ्राइमी होस्?” त्यसले “होइनँ” भन्यो भने,
The Gileadites captured the fords of the Jordan leading to Ephraim. When any of the survivors of Ephraim said, “Let me go over the river,” the men of Gilead would say to him, “Are you an Ephraimite?” If he said, “No,”
6 अनि तिनीहरूले त्यसलाई भन्थे, “शिब्बोलेत भन्,” र उसले “सिब्बोलेत” भन्यो भने (किनकि उसले त्यो शब्द सही उच्चारण गर्न सक्दैनथियो), तब गिलादीहरूले त्यसलाई समाउँथे र उसलाई यर्दनको जँघारहरूमा मार्थे । त्यस बेला एफ्राइमका बयालिस हजार जना मारिए ।
then they would say to him, “Say: Shibboleth,” and if he said “Sibboleth” (for he could not pronounce the word correctly), the Gileadites would seize him and kill him at the fords of the Jordan. Forty-two thousand Ephraimites were killed at that time.
