¹And the men of Ephraim gathered themselves together, and went northward, and said unto Jephthah, Wherefore passedst thou over to fight against the children of Ammon, and didst not call us to go with thee? we will burn thine house upon thee with fire.

¹ Kala Ifraymu borey mo margu ka daŋandi ka koy azawa kambe. I ne Yefta se: «Ifo se no ni daŋandi ka koy ka Amon izey wongu, ni mana iri ce, iri ma koy ni banda? To, iri ga ni windo ton ni boŋ.»

²And Jephthah said unto them, I and my people were at great strife with the children of Ammon; and when I called you, ye delivered me not out of their hands.

² Kala Yefta ne i se: «Waato, in d'ay borey, iri go ga tangam da Amon izey gumo. Saaya kaŋ ay n'araŋ ce din, araŋ mana ay faaba i kambe ra.

³And when I saw that ye delivered me not, I put my life in my hands, and passed over against the children of Ammon, and the LORD delivered them into my hand: wherefore then are ye come up unto me this day, to fight against me?

³ Ay mo, waato kaŋ ay di araŋ mana ay faaba, ga ti ay mo n'ay fundo neera. Ay daŋandi ka koy ka Amon izey wongu. Rabbi mo n'i daŋ ay kambe ra. Ifo se no hunkuna araŋ kaa ne ka ne araŋ g'ay wongu?»

⁴Then Jephthah gathered together all the men of Gilead, and fought with Ephraim: and the men of Gilead smote Ephraim, because they said, Ye Gileadites are fugitives of Ephraim among the Ephraimites, and among the Manassites.

⁴ Saaya din binde Yefta na Jileyad borey kulu margu ka Ifraymu wongu. Zama i ne: «Araŋ ya Ifraymu zurukoy no, araŋ Jileyad borey, Ifraymu da Manasse game ra.»

⁵And the Gileadites took the passages of Jordan before the Ephraimites: and it was so, that when those Ephraimites which were escaped said, Let me go over; that the men of Gilead said unto him, Art thou an Ephraimite? If he said, Nay;

⁵ Jileyad borey na Urdun yawyaŋ nangey ta i gaa, zama ngey ma Ifraymu kosaray se. Yaadin mo no ka te, Ifraymu do haray boro kulu kaŋ zuru ka kaa, d'a ne: «Wa naŋ ya daŋandi,» kala Jileyad borey ma ne a se: «Ni ya Ifraymu boro no?» Da bora ne: «Abada!»

⁶Then said they unto him, Say now Shibboleth: and he said Sibboleth: for he could not frame to pronounce it right. Then they took him, and slew him at the passages of Jordan: and there fell at that time of the Ephraimites forty and two thousand.

⁶ kal i ma ne a se: «Ne Shibboleth.» Da day a ne Sibbolet, (zama a si hin ka nga deena naan hal a ma du ka ci mate kaŋ ga saba) kala i ma bora din di k'a wi noodin, Urdun yawyaŋ do. Ifraymu boro zambar waytaaci cindi hinka no ka bu alwaati woodin ra.

⁷And Jephthah judged Israel six years. Then died Jephthah the Gileadite, and was buried in one of the cities of Gilead.

⁷ Yefta na Israyla may jiiri iddu, gaa no Yefta Jileyad bora bu. I n'a fiji Jileyad birni fo ra.

⁸And after him Ibzan of Bethlehem judged Israel.

⁸ A banda no Ibzan Baytlahami boro, nga mo na Israyla may.

⁹And he had thirty sons, and thirty daughters, whom he sent abroad, and took in thirty daughters from abroad for his sons. And he judged Israel seven years.

⁹ A gonda ize aru waranza da ize way waranza kaŋ yaŋ a hiijandi taray haray. A na wandiyo waranza mo sambu taray ka kand'ey zama nga m'i hiijandi nga ize arey se. A na Israyla may hala jiiri iyye.

¹⁰Then died Ibzan, and was buried at Bethlehem.

¹⁰ Ibzan bu, i n'a fiji mo noodin Baytlahami.

¹¹And after him Elon, a Zebulonite, judged Israel; and he judged Israel ten years.

¹¹ A banda mo Elon, Zabluna boro no, nga mo na Israyla may. A na Israyla may jiiri way.

¹²And Elon the Zebulonite died, and was buried in Aijalon in the country of Zebulun.

¹² Elon, Zabluna bora bu. I n'a fiji Ayyalon ra Zabluna laabu.

¹³And after him Abdon the son of Hillel, a Pirathonite, judged Israel.

¹³ A banda koyne Abdon, Hillel izo, Piraton boro no, a na Israyla may.

¹⁴And he had forty sons and thirty nephews, that rode on threescore and ten ass colts: and he judged Israel eight years.

¹⁴ A gonda ize aru waytaaci da haama waranza, kaŋ yaŋ ga kaaru farka binji furo-taji wayye boŋ. A na Israyla may jiiri ahakku.

¹⁵And Abdon the son of Hillel the Pirathonite died, and was buried in Pirathon in the land of Ephraim, in the mount of the Amalekites.

¹⁵ Abdon, Hillel izo, Piraton bora bu. I n'a fiji Piraton ra, Ifraymu laabu, Amalekancey tondey ra.
