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.
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 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.
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 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?”
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 the LORD delivered them into my hand. Why then have you come up to me today, 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. 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 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,
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 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 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.
