< 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.”
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 ।”
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.
यिप्‍ताले तिनीहरूलाई भने, “म र मेरा मानिसहरू अम्मोनका मानिहरूसँग ठुलो झगडामा थियौं । जब मैले तिमीहरूलाई बोलाएँ, तिमीहरूले मलाई तिनीहरूबाट बचाएनौ ।
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?”
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?”
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.”
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 ।”
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,”
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,
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.
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 ।
7 And so Jephthah, the Gileadite, judged Israel for six years. And he died, and he was buried in his city in Gilead.
यिप्‍ताले इस्राएलका न्यायकर्ता भएर छ वर्षसम्‍म सेवा गरे । तब गिलादी यिप्‍ता मरे र गिलादका सहरहरूमध्‍ये एउटा सहरमा दफन गरियो ।
8 After him, Ibzan of Bethlehem judged Israel.
तिनीपछि, बेथलेहेमका इब्सानले इस्राएलमा न्यायकर्ताका रूपमा सेवा गरे ।
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.
तिनका तिस जना छोरा थिए । तिनले आफ्ना तिस जना छोरीहरूका विवाह गरिदिए, र आफ्ना छोराहरूका निम्ति बाहिरबाट अरू मानिसहरूका तिस जान छोरीहरू ल्याए । उनले सात वर्षसम्‍म इस्राएलको न्याय गरे ।
10 And he died, and he was buried in Bethlehem.
इब्सान मरे र तिनलाई बेथलेहेममा दफन गरियो ।
11 After him succeeded Elon, a Zebulunite. And he judged Israel for ten years.
तिनीपछि जबूलूनी एलोनले इस्राएलमा न्यायकर्ताका रूपमा सेवा गरे । उनले दश वर्षसम्‍म इस्राएलको न्याय गरे ।
12 And he died, and he was buried in Zebulun.
जबूलूनी एलोन मरे र उनलाई जबूलून देशको अय्यालोनमा दफन गरियो ।
13 After him, Abdon, the son of Hillel, a Pirathonite, judged Israel.
तिनीपछि, पिरातोनी हिल्लेलका छोरा अब्दोनले इस्राएलमा न्यायकर्ताका रूपमा सेवा गरे ।
14 And he had forty sons, and from them thirty grandsons, all riding upon seventy young donkeys. And he judged Israel for eight years.
उनका चालिस छोरा र तिस नातिहरू थिए । तिनीहरू सत्तरीवटा गधाहरूमा सवार हुन्थे, र तिनले इस्राएलमा आठ वर्षसम्‍म न्याय गरे ।
15 And he died, and he was buried at Pirathon, in the land of Ephraim, on the mountain of Amalek.
पिरातोनी हिल्लेलका छोरा अब्दोन मरे र तिनलाई अमालेकीहरूको पहाडी देशमा एफ्राइमको पिरातोन इलाकामा दफन गरियो ।
