1 Mutanen Efraim suka tattaro mayaƙansu, suka haye zuwa Zafon suka cewa Yefta, “Don me ka tafi ka yaƙi Ammonawa ba ka gayyace mu ba? Za mu ƙone gidanka a kanka.”
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 Yefta ya ce, “Ni da mutanena mun yi ta jayayya sosai da Ammonawa, ko da yake na kira ku, amma ba ku cece ni daga hannuwansu ba.
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 Da na ga ba za ku taimake ni ba, sai na yi kasai da raina na kuwa haye don in yaƙi Ammonawa, Ubangiji kuwa ya ba ni nasara a kansu. To, don me kuka zo yau don ku yaƙe ni?”
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 Yahweh delivered them into my hand. Why then have you come up to me today, to fight against me?”

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 Mutanen Gileyad suka ƙwace mashigan Urdun masu zuwa Efraim, duk sa’ad da wani daga Efraim da ya tsira ya ce, “Bari in haye,” sai mutane Gileyad su ce “Kai mutumin Efraim ne?” In ya ce, “A’a,”
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 sai su ce, “To, ka ce, ‘Shibbolet.’” In ya ce, “Sibbolet,” saboda ba sa iya faɗin kalmar daidai, sai su kama shi su kashe a mashigan Urdun. Aka kashe mutanen Efraim dubu arba’in da biyu a ta haka.
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.
