¹And the men of Ephraim were called together, and passed over northwards, and said to Jephthah, Why didst thou pass over to fight against the children of Ammon, and didst not call us to go with thee? We will burn thy house upon thee with fire.

¹Huan, Ephraimte a kikai khawm ua, mallam juanin a pai ua; huan, Jephtha kiangah, Bangdia Amon suante sual dinga hongpai pheia, na kianga hoh dinga hon chial sam lou? na in ah ka hon buhal ding uh, a chi ua.

²And Jephthah said to them, I was at great strife, I and my people, with the children of Ammon; and I called you, but ye saved me not out of their hand.

²Huan, Jephthain a kianguah, Amon suante ka mite toh theihtawp suahin ka sual ua; ka hon thukhah laiin a khut ua kipanin lah non honkhe ngal kei ua.

³And when I saw that ye would not save me, I put my life in my hand, and passed over against the children of Ammon, and Jehovah gave them into my hand. Why then are ye come up to me this day, to fight against me?

³Huchiin non honkhe nuamkei uh chih ka theih tak in, sih khawk salou hialin ka panga, Amon suante sual dingin ka kuana, hichiin TOUPAN amaute ka khut ah a honpiaa: huai jiakin bangdinga honsual dinga tunia hongkuan na hi ua? a chi a.

⁴And Jephthah gathered together all the men of Gilead, and fought with Ephraim; and the men of Gilead smote Ephraim, because they said, Ye, Gilead, ye are fugitives of Ephraim in the midst of Ephraim, [and] in the midst of Manasseh.

⁴Huchiin Jephthain Gilead mi tengteng a kaikhawma, Ephraimte a sualtaa: huan, Gileadten Ephraimte a that ek ua, Nou Ephraim nam tai mangte, nou Gileadte, Ephraimte lakah leh Manasite laka teltei maimaite, a chihna jiak un.

⁵And Gilead took the fords of the Jordan before Ephraim; and it came to pass that when the fugitives of Ephraim said, Let me go over, the men of Gilead said to him, Art thou an Ephraimite? and he said, No.

⁵Huan, Gileadten Ephraimte naih Jordan lui kainate a nala ua; Huan, hichi ahia, Ephraim taimang kuapeuhin, Ka hong galkah ding uh, a chih tengin Gileadten a kiangah, Ephraim mi na hi hia? a na chi jel ua. Aman, Hi lou e, a na chih leh,

⁶Then they said to him, Say now Shibboleth! and he said, Sibboleth, and did not manage to pronounce [it] rightly. Then they took him, and slaughtered him at the fords of the Jordan. And there fell at that time of Ephraim forty-two thousand.

⁶A kiangah, Shiboleth, honchi dih, a na chi ua, huan, aman, Siboleth ana chi zo jela; a lou tel tei siam ngal sek keia; huchiin a man ua, Jordan lui kainate ah a na that jel uh; huchiin huai tungin Ephraimte sing li leh sang nih a that uh.

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

⁷Huan, Jephthain Israelte tungah kum guk vai a hawma, huchiin Gilead gam a khua khat ah a vui uh.

⁸And after him Ibzan of Bethlehem judged Israel.

⁸Huan, a nungin Beth-lehem khuaa mi Ibzanin Israelte tungah vai a hawma.

⁹And he had thirty sons; and thirty daughters he sent out of the house, and thirty daughters he took in from abroad for his sons. And he judged Israel seven years.

⁹Huaiin tapa sawmthum a neia, tanu sawmthum gam dangah a paisaka, huan a tapate adingin gam danga mi tanu sawmthum a pisak laia. Huan, Israelte tungah kum sagih vai a hawma.

¹⁰And Ibzan died, and was buried at Bethlehem.

¹⁰Huan, Ibzan a sia, Beth-lehem khua ah a vui uh.

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

¹¹Huan, a nungin Zebulun mi Elonin Israelte tungah vai a hawma; Israelte tungah kum sawm vai a hawm.

¹²And Elon the Zebulonite died, and was buried in Ajalon in the land of Zebulun.

¹²Huan, Zebulun mi Elon a sia, Zebulun gama Aijalon khua ah a vui uh.

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

¹³Huan, huainungin Pirathon mi, Hilel tapa Abdonin Israelte tungah vai a hawma.

¹⁴And he had forty sons and thirty grandsons, who rode on seventy ass colts. And he judged Israel eight years.

¹⁴Huai miin tapa sawmli leh tupa sawmthum sabengtung nou sawmsagih tunga tuang jel mi a nei a: aman Israelte tungah kum giat vai a hawma.Huan, Pirathon mi, Hilel tapa Abdon a sia, Ephraim gam, Amalek mite tanggam ah Pirathon khua ah a vuita uh.

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

¹⁵Huan, Pirathon mi, Hilel tapa Abdon a sia, Ephraim gam, Amalek mite tanggam ah Pirathon khua ah a vuita uh.
