1But behold there arose a sedition in Ephraim. And passing towards the north, they said to Jephte: When thou wentest to fight against the children of Ammon, why wouldst thou not call us, that we might go with thee? Therefore we will burn thy house.
1Ephraim kaminawk loe nawnto amkhueng o moe, aluek bangah caeh o; Jepthah khaeah, tipongah kaicae kawk ai ah Ammon kaminawk tuk hanah na caeh loe? Nangmah hoi nawnto na im to hmai hoiah kang thlaek pae o han boeh, tiah a naa o.
2And he answered them: I and my people were at great strife with the children of Ammon: and I called you to assist me, and you would not do it.
2Jepthah mah nihcae khaeah, Kai hoi kaimah ih kaminawk loe Ammon kaminawk hoi angzoehhaih oh naah, nangcae to kang kawk; toe nangcae mah nihcae ban thung hoiah kai nang pahlong o ai.
3And when I saw this, I put my life in my own hands, and passed over against the children of Ammon, and the Lord delivered them into my hands. What have I deserved, that you should rise up to fight against me?
3Nang pahlong o ai, tiah ka panoek naah, hinghaih angpaekhaih hoiah Ammon kaminawk tuk hanah ka caeh; Angraeng mah nihcae to ka ban ah ang paek; tipongah vaihniah kai tuk hanah nang zoh o loe? tiah a naa.
4Then calling to him all the men of Galaad, he fought against Ephraim: and the men of Galaad defeated Ephraim, because he had said: Galaad is a fugitive of Ephraim, and dwelleth in the midst of Ephraim and Manasses.
4To pacoengah Jepthah mah Gilead ih kaminawk to nawnto pakhueng moe, Ephraim kaminawk to tuk; Ephraim kaminawk mah, Nangcae loe Ephraim kami ah kaom, Manasseh kaminawk thung hoi kaproeng, acaeng kaciim ai Gilead kami ni, tiah a naa o pongah, Gilead kaminawk mah Ephraim kaminawk to hum o.
5And the Galaadites secured the fords of the Jordan, by which Ephraim was to return. And when any one of the number of Ephraim came thither in the flight, and said: I beseech you let me pass: the Galaadites said to him: Art thou not an Ephraimite? If he said: I am not:
5Gilead kaminawk mah Ephraim kaminawk angmacae prae ah amlaem o naah, Jordan vapui angkathaih ahmuen ah nihcae to angang o, Ephraim kaminawk Jordan vapui angkat han thuih o naah, Nihcae angang Gilead kaminawk mah, Nang loe Ephraim kami maw? tiah a dueng o. To naah anih mah, Kai loe Ephraim kami na ai ni, tiah thuih,
6They asked him: Say then, Scibboleth, which is interpreted, An ear of corn. But he answered, Sibboleth, not being able to express an ear of corn by the same letter. Then presently they took him and killed him in the very passage of the Jordan. And there fell at that time of Ephraim two and forty thousand.
6toe nihcae mah, To tih nahaeloe Shiboleth, tiah thui ah, tiah a naa o. To naah Ephraim kami loe, Shiboleth, tiah thui thai ai, Sibboleth, tiah ni thui thaih; to pongah to kami to naeh o moe, Jordan vapui ah hum o. To tiah Ephraim kaminawk to sang quipali, sang hnetto a hum o.
7And Jephte the Galaadite judged Israel six years: and he died, and was buried in his city of Galaad.

9He had thirty sons, and as many daughters, whom he sent abroad, and gave to husbands, and took wives for his sons of the same number, bringing them into his house. And he judged Israel seven years:
