< Judges 12 >

1 And behold, a sedition rose up in Ephraim. Then, while passing by toward the north, they said to Jephthah: “When you were going to fight against the sons of Ammon, why were you unwilling to summon us, so that we might go with you? Therefore, we will burn down your house.”
Napaayaban dagiti lallaki iti Efraim; limmasatda iti Safon ket kinunada kenni Jefte, “Apay a limmasatka a makiranget kadagiti tattao ti Ammon ket saannakami nga inayaban a kumuyog kenka? Iramandaka iti balaymo a puoran.”
2 And he answered them: “I and my people were in a great conflict against the sons of Ammon. And I called you, so that you might offer assistance to me. And you were not willing to do so.
Kinuna ni Jefte kadakuada, “Siak ken dagiti tattaok ket adda nakaro a saanmi a pagkikinnaawatan kadagiti tattao ti Ammon. Idi immawagak kadakayo, saandak nga inispal manipud kadakuada.
3 And discerning this, I put my life in my own hands, and I crossed to the sons of Ammon, and the Lord delivered them into my hands. What am I guilty of, that you would rise up in battle against me?”
Idi nakitak a saandak nga ispalen, impustak ti biagko ket rinautko dagiti tattao ti Ammon, ket pinagballiginak ni Yahweh. Apay nga immaykayo tapno makiranget kaniak ita nga aldaw?”
4 And so, calling to himself all the men of Gilead, he fought against Ephraim. And the men of Gilead struck down Ephraim, because he had said, “Gilead is a fugitive from Ephraim, and he lives in the midst of Ephraim and Manasseh.”
Inummong ni Jefte dagiti amin a lallaki iti Galaad ket kinarangetna ti Efraim. Rinaut dagiti lallaki iti Galaad dagiti lallaki iti Efraim gapu ta kinunada, “Dakayo a taga-Galaad ket dagiti naglibas nga aglemlemmeng iti Efraim-iti Efraim ken Manases.”
5 And the Gileadites occupied the fords of the Jordan, along which Ephraim was to return. And when anyone from the number of Ephraim had arrived, fleeing, and had said, “I beg that you permit me to pass,” the Gileadites would say to him, “Could you be an Ephraimite?” And if he said, “I am not,”
Sinakup dagiti taga-Galaad dagiti pagballasiwan iti Jordan nga agturong iti Efraim. Ket no adda siasinoman kadagiti nakalasat iti Efraim ti agkuna, “Palubosandak a bumallasiw iti karayan,” ibaga dagiti lallaki iti Galaad kenkuana, “Taga-Efraim ka kadi? No kunana a, “Saan,”
6 they would ask him, then say ‘Shibboleth,’ which is translated as ‘ear of grain.’ But he would answer ‘Sibboleth,’ not being able to express the word for an ear of grain in the same letters. And immediately apprehending him, they would cut his throat, at the same crossing point of the Jordan. And in that time of Ephraim, forty-two thousand fell.
ket ibagada kenkuana, “Ibalikasmo ti: Shibbolet.” Ket no kunana a “Sibboleth” (ta saanna a maibalikas nga usto ti sao), tiliwen ken papatayen dagiti taga-Galaad isuna idiay pagballasiwan iti Jordan. Uppat a pulo ket dua a ribu a taga-Efraim ti napapatay iti dayta a tiempo.
7 And so Jephthah, the Gileadite, judged Israel for six years. And he died, and he was buried in his city in Gilead.
Nagserbi ni Jefte a kas ukom iti Israel iti innem a tawen. Kalpasanna, natay ni Jefte a taga-Galaad ket naitanem iti maysa kadagiti siudad iti Galaad.
8 After him, Ibzan of Bethlehem judged Israel.
Idi natay isuna, simmukat kenkuana ni Ibzan a taga Betlehem a nagserbi a kas ukom iti entero nga Israel.
9 He had thirty sons, and the same number of daughters, whom he sent away to be given to husbands. And he accepted wives for his sons of the same number, bringing them into his house. And he judged Israel for seven years.
Adda tallopulo a putotna a lallaki. Impaasawana dagiti tallopulo a putotna a babbai, ken nangala isuna manipud iti ruar iti tallopulo a putot a babbai dagiti dadduma a lallaki nga agpaay kadagiti putotna a lallaki. Nagbalin isuna nga ukom iti Israel iti pito a tawen.
10 And he died, and he was buried in Bethlehem.
Natay ni Ibzan ket naitanem idiay Betlehem.
11 After him succeeded Elon, a Zebulunite. And he judged Israel for ten years.
Simmukat kenkuana ni Elon a taga-Zabulon a nagserbi a kas ukom iti entero nga Israel. Nagbalin isuna nga ukom ti Israel iti sangapulo a tawen.
12 And he died, and he was buried in Zebulun.
Natay ni Elon a Zabulonita ket naitanem idiay Aijalon, iti daga ti Zabulon.
13 After him, Abdon, the son of Hillel, a Pirathonite, judged Israel.
Simmukat kenkuana ni Abdon a putot ni Hillel a taga-Piraton a nagserbi a kas ukom iti entero nga Israel.
14 And he had forty sons, and from them thirty grandsons, all riding upon seventy young donkeys. And he judged Israel for eight years.
Adda uppat a pulo a putotna a lallaki ken tallopulo nga appoko a lallaki. Nakasakayda iti pitopulo nga asno, ket nagbalin isuna nga ukom iti Israel iti walo a tawen.
15 And he died, and he was buried at Pirathon, in the land of Ephraim, on the mountain of Amalek.
Natay ni Abdon a putot ni Hillel a taga-Piraton ket naitanem idiay Piraton iti daga ti Efraim, iti katurturodan a pagilian dagiti Amalekita.
