1Mwet Ephraim elos akola in mweun, na elos fahla sasla Infacl Jordan ac som nu Zaphon ac fahk nu sel Jephthah, “Efu ku kom som mweuni mwet Ammon ac tia suli kut? Kut ac esukak lohm sum an nu fom!”
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.
2Na Jephthah el topuk ac fahk nu selos, “Nga ac mwet luk uh tuh oru alein na yohk se nu sin mwet Ammon, ac kut pangon kowos, tuh kowos tiana tuku kasrekut.
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.
3Ke nga akilenak lah kowos ac tia kasreyu, nga pilesrala moul luk ac sifacna som ainulos, ac LEUM GOD El ase kutangla nu sik. Na efu ku kowos tuku in mweuniyu misenge?”
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?
4Ke ma inge Jephthah el pangoneni mwet Gilead nukewa ac elos som mweuni mwet Ephraim ac kutangulosla. (Mweyen mwet Ephraim elos tuh fahk ouinge, “Kowos mwet Gilead su muta in acn Ephraim ac Manasseh, kowos mwet kaing liki kut tari!”)
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.
5Mwet Gilead elos sruokya acn nukewa ma mwet uh muta ut we in alukela Infacl Jordan, tuh mwet Ephraim elos in kofla kaing ut we. Mwet Ephraim se fin srike in kaingla ac siyuk elan fahla ke sie sin acn inge, na mwet Gilead elos ac siyuk sel, “Kom mwet Ephraim se?” Na el fin fahk mu “Mo,”
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:
6na elos ac sap elan fahk kas se inge, “Shibboleth.” Tuh el fin fahk “Sibboleth,” (ke sripen mwet Ephraim uh kofla fahkla suwohs kas sac) na mwet Gilead elos ac sruokya mwet sac ac unilya na insacn, ke soko sin inkanek in foroht forma ke Infacl Jordan. Mwet Ephraim angngaul luo tausin pa anwuki in pacl sac.
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 el kol mwet Israel ke yac onkosr. Na el misa, ac pukpuki el inkul sel sifacna in acn Gilead.
7And Jephte the Galaadite judged Israel six years: and he died, and was buried in his city of Galaad.
8Tokol Jephthah, Ibzan mwet Bethlehem el kol Israel.
8After him Abesan of Bethlehem judged Israel:
9Oasr wen tolngoul ac acn tolngoul natul. El sang acn natul inge in payuk sin mwet sayen sruf lal uh, ac use mutan fusr tolngoul liki sruf saya in payuk sin wen natul ah. Ibzan el tuh kol mwet Israel ke yac itkosr,
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:
10na el misa, ac pukpuki el in acn Bethlehem.
10And he died, and was buried in Bethlehem.
11Tokol Ibzan, Elon mwet Zebulun, el kol mwet Israel ke yac singoul.
11To him succeeded Ahialon a Zabulonite: and he judged Israel ten years:
12Na Elon el misa, ac pukpuki el in acn Aijalon in facl sin mwet Zebulun.
12And he died, and was buried in Zabulon.
13Tokol Elon, Abdon, wen natul Hillel mwet Pirathon, el kol mwet Israel.
13After him Abdon, the son of Illel, a Pharathonite, judged Israel:
14Oasr wen angngaul natul, ac wen tolngoul nutin wen natul su kasrusr fin donkey itngoul. El kol mwet Israel ke yac oalkosr.
14And he had forty sons, and of them thirty grandsons, mounted upon seventy ass colts, and he judged Israel eight years:
15Na Abdon el misa, ac pukpuki el in acn Pirathon in facl sin mwet Ephraim, infulan eol ma mwet Amalek elos muta we.
15And he died, and was buried in Pharathon in the land of Ephraim, in the mount of Amalech.
