1Then 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!”
1Ephraim hlang neh tlangpuei la aka kat te a hueh tih Jephthah taengah, “Ammon ca rhoek vathoh thil ham na kat vaengah balae tih nang neh aka pongpa hmaih ham kaimih khaw nang khue pawh. Te dongah na im neh namah te hmai neh kang hoeh uh ni,” a ti nah.
2But 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.
2Tedae amih te Jephthah loh, “Kai tah ka pilnam neh pilnu Ammon ca rhoek kah tuituknah khuikah hlang la ka om tih nangmih te kan doek dae kai he amih kut lamloh nan khang uh moenih.
3When 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?”
3Khangnah na khueh pawt te ka hmuh van vaengah tah ka kut dongkah ka hinglu ka khuen tih Ammon ca rhoek te ka paan. Te vaengah amih te BOEIPA loh ka kut dongah m'paek. Balae tih kai vathoh thil ham tihnin atah kai taengla na lo uh kanoek,” a ti nah.
4Jephthah 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.”
4Te dongah Jephthah loh Gilead hlang boeih te a coi tih Ephraim te a tloek. Ephraim lakli ah khaw, Manasseh lakli ah khaw, “Gilead nang he Ephraim hlangyong ni,” a ti uh dongah Ephraim te Gilead hlang rhoek loh a tloek uh.
5The 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,”
5Ephraim te Jordan lamkai ah Gilead loh a mah tih a om vaengah Ephraim hlangyong rhoek loh, “Ng'kat sak uh mai,” a ti na uh. Te dongah anih te Gilead hlang rhoek loh, “Nang Ephraim a?,” a ti nah hatah, “Moenih,” a ti nah.
6they 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.
6Tedae anih te, “Thingpae ti mai,” a ti na uh dongah hmantang la a thui ham coeng pawt tih, “Cangyang ni,” a ti. Te phoeiah anih te a tuuk uh tih Jordan lamkai ah a ngawn uh. Te vaeng hnin ah Ephraim thawng sawmli panit te a cungku sak.
7Jephthah judged Israel six years, and when he died, he was buried in one of the cities of Gilead.
7Jephthah loh Israel te kum rhuk lai a tloek pah. Giladi Jephthah he a duek vaengah Gilead khopuei ah a up uh.
8After Jephthah, Ibzan of Bethlehem judged Israel.
8Anih hnukah Israel te Bethlehem kah Ibzan loh lai a tloek pah.
9He 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.
9Anih te capa sawmthum a om pah hatah canu sawmthum te kholong la a tueih tih kholong nu sawmthum te a ca rhoek ham a loh pah. Anih long khaw Israel ham kum rhih lai a tloek pah.
10Then Ibzan died, and he was buried in Bethlehem.
10Ibzan a duek phoeiah Bethlehem ah a up uh.
11After Ibzan, Elon the Zebulunite judged Israel ten years.
11Anih hnukah Israel he Zebulon Elon loh lai a tloek pah. Te dongah kum rha khuiah tah Israel ham lai a tloek.
12Then Elon the Zebulunite died, and he was buried in Aijalon in the land of Zebulun.
12Zebulon Elon khaw duek tih Zebulun khohmuen Aijalon ah a up uh.
13After Elon, Abdon son of Hillel, from Pirathon, judged Israel.
13Anih hnukah Israel te Pirathon Hillel capa Abdon loh lai a tloek pah.
14He had forty sons and thirty grandsons, who rode on seventy donkeys. And he judged Israel eight years.
14Anih ham laak sawmrhih dongah aka ngol capa sawmli neh a ca rhoek kah a ca sawmthum om. Te vaengah Israel te kum rhet lai a tloek pah.
15Then Abdon son of Hillel, from Pirathon, died, and he was buried at Pirathon in Ephraim, in the hill country of the Amalekites.
15Pirathon Hillel capa Abdon a duek vaengah Amalek tlang kah Ephraim khohmuen Pirathon ah a up uh.
