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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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:
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.
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.
7Jephthah loh Israel te kum rhuk lai a tloek pah. Giladi Jephthah he a duek vaengah Gilead khopuei ah a up uh.
7And Jephte the Galaadite judged Israel six years: and he died, and was buried in his city of Galaad.
8Anih hnukah Israel te Bethlehem kah Ibzan loh lai a tloek pah.
8After him Abesan of Bethlehem judged Israel:
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.
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:
10Ibzan a duek phoeiah Bethlehem ah a up uh.
10And he died, and was buried in Bethlehem.
11Anih hnukah Israel he Zebulon Elon loh lai a tloek pah. Te dongah kum rha khuiah tah Israel ham lai a tloek.
11To him succeeded Ahialon a Zabulonite: and he judged Israel ten years:
12Zebulon Elon khaw duek tih Zebulun khohmuen Aijalon ah a up uh.
12And he died, and was buried in Zabulon.
13Anih hnukah Israel te Pirathon Hillel capa Abdon loh lai a tloek pah.
13After him Abdon, the son of Illel, a Pharathonite, judged Israel:
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.
14And he had forty sons, and of them thirty grandsons, mounted upon seventy ass colts, and he judged Israel eight years:
15Pirathon Hillel capa Abdon a duek vaengah Amalek tlang kah Ephraim khohmuen Pirathon ah a up uh.
15And he died, and was buried in Pharathon in the land of Ephraim, in the mount of Amalech.
