< Judges 12 >

1 Àwọn ọkùnrin Efraimu pe àwọn ológun wọn jáde, wọ́n sì rékọjá sí ìhà àríwá, wọ́n sì bi Jefta pé, “Èéṣe tí o fi lọ bá àwọn ará Ammoni jagun láì ké sí wa láti bá ọ lọ? Àwa yóò sun ilé rẹ mọ́ ọ lórí.”
Then the men of Ephraim assembled and crossed the Jordan to Zaphon. They said to Jephthah, “Why have you crossed over to fight the Ammonites without calling us to go with you? We will burn your house down with you inside!”
2 Jefta dáhùn pé, “Èmi àti àwọn ènìyàn ní ìyọnu ńlá pẹ̀lú àwọn ará Ammoni, bí ó tilẹ̀ jẹ́ pé mo pè yín, ẹ̀yin kò gbà mí sílẹ̀ ní ọwọ́ wọn.
But Jephthah replied, “My people and I had a serious conflict with the Ammonites, and when I called, you did not save me out of their hands.
3 Nígbà tí mo rí i pé ẹ̀yin kò gbà mí, mo fi ẹ̀mí mi wéwu. Mó sì gòkè lọ láti bá àwọn ará Ammoni jà, Olúwa sì fún mi ní ìṣẹ́gun lórí wọn, èéṣe báyìí tí ẹ fi dìde wá lónìí láti bá mi jà?”
When I saw that you would not save me, I risked my life and crossed over to the Ammonites, and the LORD delivered them into my hand. Why then have you come today to fight against me?”
4 Nígbà náà ni Jefta kó gbogbo ọkùnrin Gileadi jọ, ó sì bá Efraimu jà. Àwọn ọkùnrin Gileadi sì kọlù Efraimu, nítorí wọ́n ti sọtẹ́lẹ̀ pé, “Ẹ̀yin ará Gileadi jẹ́ àsáwọ̀ àwọn ará Efraimu àti ti Manase.”
Jephthah then gathered all the men of Gilead and fought against Ephraim. And the men of Gilead struck them down because the Ephraimites had said, “You Gileadites are fugitives in Ephraim, living in the territories of Ephraim and Manasseh.”
5 Àwọn ará Gileadi gba à bá wọ odò Jordani tí wọ́n máa gbà lọ sí Efraimu, nígbàkígbà tí àwọn ará Efraimu bá wí pé, “Jẹ́ kí ń sálọ sí òkè,” lọ́hùn ún àwọn ará Gileadi yóò bi í pé, “Ṣé ará Efraimu ni ìwọ ń ṣe?” Tí ó bá wí pé, “Bẹ́ẹ̀ kọ́,”
The Gileadites captured the fords of the Jordan leading to Ephraim, and whenever a fugitive from Ephraim would say, “Let me cross over,” the Gileadites would ask him, “Are you an Ephraimite?” If he answered, “No,”
6 wọ́n ó wí fún un pé, “Ó dá à wí pé ‘Ṣibolẹti.’” Tí ó bá ní, “Sibolẹti,” torí pé kò ní mọ̀ ọ́n pé dáradára, wọ́n á mú un wọn, a sì pa á ni à bá wọ odò Jordani. Àwọn ará Efraimu tí wọn pa ní àkókò yìí jẹ́ ẹgbẹ̀rún méjìlélógójì ọkùnrin.
they told him, “Please say Shibboleth.” If he said, “Sibboleth,” because he could not pronounce it correctly, they seized him and killed him at the fords of the Jordan. So at that time 42,000 Ephraimites were killed.
7 Jefta ṣe ìdájọ́ Israẹli ní ọdún mẹ́fà. Lẹ́yìn náà Jefta ará Gileadi kú, wọ́n sì sin ín sí ọ̀kan nínú àwọn ìlú Gileadi.
Jephthah judged Israel six years, and when he died, he was buried in one of the cities of Gilead.
8 Lẹ́yìn Jefta, Ibsani ará Bẹtilẹhẹmu ṣe ìdájọ́ àwọn ọmọ Israẹli.
After Jephthah, Ibzan of Bethlehem judged Israel.
9 Ó ní ọgbọ̀n ọmọkùnrin àti ọgbọ̀n ọmọbìnrin fún àwọn tí kì í ṣe ẹ̀yà rẹ̀ gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìyàwó, ó sì fẹ́ ọgbọ̀n àwọn ọmọbìnrin fún àwọn ọmọ rẹ̀ ọkùnrin lára àwọn tí kì í ṣe ẹ̀yà rẹ̀. Ibsani ṣe ìdájọ́ Israẹli fún ọdún méje.
He had thirty sons, as well as thirty daughters whom he gave in marriage to men outside his clan; and for his sons he brought back thirty wives from elsewhere. Ibzan judged Israel seven years.
10 Lẹ́yìn náà ni Ibsani kú, wọ́n sì sin ín sí Bẹtilẹhẹmu.
Then Ibzan died, and he was buried in Bethlehem.
11 Lẹ́yìn rẹ̀, Eloni ti ẹ̀yà Sebuluni ṣe àkóso Israẹli fún ọdún mẹ́wàá.
After Ibzan, Elon the Zebulunite judged Israel ten years.
12 Eloni sì kú, wọ́n sì sin ín sí Aijaloni ní ilẹ̀ Sebuluni.
Then Elon the Zebulunite died, and he was buried in Aijalon in the land of Zebulun.
13 Lẹ́yìn rẹ̀ ni Abdoni ọmọ Hileli tí Piratoni n ṣe àkóso Israẹli.
After Elon, Abdon son of Hillel, from Pirathon, judged Israel.
14 Òun ní ogójì ọmọkùnrin àti ọgbọ̀n ọmọ ọmọ àwọn tí ó ń gun àádọ́rin kẹ́tẹ́kẹ́tẹ́. Ó ṣe ìdájọ́ Israẹli ní ọdún mẹ́jọ.
He had forty sons and thirty grandsons, who rode on seventy donkeys. And he judged Israel eight years.
15 Abdoni ọmọ Hileli sì kú, wọ́n sin ín sí Piratoni ní ilé Efraimu ní ìlú òkè àwọn ará Amaleki.
Then Abdon son of Hillel, from Pirathon, died, and he was buried at Pirathon in Ephraim, in the hill country of the Amalekites.
