Abbootii Murtii 12
1 Namoonni Efreem walitti qabamanii Daafoon ceʼuudhaan Yiftaan, “Ati yeroo Amoonota loluuf baatetti maaliif akka nu si faana deemnuuf nu hin waamne? Nu mana kee sirratti gubna” jedhaniin.
And the men of Ephraim were gathered together, and passed northward; and they 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 Yiftaanis akkana jedhee deebiseef; “Anii fi namoonni koo Amoonota loluuf waraana guddaa keessa gallee turre; yommuu ani isin waametti isin harka isaaniitii na hin baafne.
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 Ani yeroo akka isin na hin baafne argetti lubbuu kootti muree Amoonota waraanuuf nan ceʼe; Waaqayyos isaan irratti moʼannaa naa kenne. Yoos isin harʼa maaliif na loluuf dhuftan ree?”
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 Yiftaanis ergasii namoota Giliʼaad walitti waammatee Efreemitti lola kaase. Sababii namoonni Efreem warra Giliʼaadiin, “Isin Giliʼaadonni warra Efreemii fi Minaasee gantanii dha” jedhaniif Giliʼaadonni isaan dhaʼan.
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 Giliʼaadonni malkaawwan Yordaanos kanneen gara Efraataatti geessan qabatan; yeroo baqataan Efraataa tokko, “Ani gamattin ceʼa” jedhutti, namoonni Giliʼaad, “Ati nama Efreem mitii?” jedhanii isa gaafatu. Yoo inni, “Waawuu” jedhee deebise,
And the Gileadites took the fords of 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 isaan, “Gaarii dha; ati, ‘Shiiboleeti’ jedhi” jedhaniin. Yoo inni, “Siiboleeti” jedhe, sababii inni qajeelatti “Shiiboleeti” jechuu hin dandeenyeef qabanii malkaawwan Yordaanos irratti isa ajjeesu. Yeroo sanatti namoota Efreem kuma afurtamii lamatu ajjeefame.
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 Jordan: and there fell at that time of Ephraim forty and two thousand.
7 Yiftaan waggaa jaʼa Israaʼelin bulche. Ergasii Yiftaan namni Giliʼaad sun duʼee magaalaa Giliʼaad keessaa tokkotti awwaalame.
And Jephthah judged Israel six years. Then died Jephthah the Gileadite, and was buried in [one of] the cities of Gilead.
8 Isaan duubas Ibzaan namichi Beetlihem sun Israaʼelin bulche.
And after him Ibzan of Beth-lehem judged Israel.
9 Innis ilmaan soddomaa fi intallan soddoma qaba ture; intallan isaas warra gosa isaa hin taʼinitti heerumsiise; ilmaan isaatiifis akka isaan niitota taʼaniif gosa biraa keessaa durboota soddoma fide. Ibxaan waggaa torba Israaʼel bulche.
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 Ibzaanis duʼee Beetlihem keessatti awwaalame.
And Ibzan died, and was buried at Beth-lehem.
11 Isa booddee Eeloon namichi gosa Zebuuloon sun waggaa kudhan Israaʼelin bulche.

And after him Abdon the son of Hillel the Pirathonite judged Israel.
14 Innis ilmaan afurtamaa fi ilmaan ilmaanii soddoma kanneen harroota torbaatama yaabbatan qaba ture. Inni waggaa saddeeti Israaʼelin bulche.
And he had forty sons and thirty sons’ sons, that rode on threescore and ten ass colts: and he judged Israel eight years.

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.
