1The men of Ephraim were gathered together, and passed northward; and they said to Jephthah, “Why did you pass over to fight against the children of Ammon, and didn’t call us to go with you? We will burn your house around you 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.
2Jephthah said to them, “I and my people were at great strife with the children of Ammon; and when I called you, you didn’t save me 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.
3When I saw that you didn’t save me, I put my life in my hand, and passed over against the children of Ammon, and Yahweh delivered them into my hand. Why then have you 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.
4Then Jephthah gathered together all the men of Gilead, and fought with Ephraim; and the men of Gilead struck Ephraim, because they said, “You are fugitives of Ephraim, you Gileadites, 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.
5The Gileadites took the fords of the Jordan against the Ephraimites. It was so, that when the fugitives of Ephraim said, “Let me go over,” the men of Gilead said to him, “Are you an Ephraimite?” If 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, “Now say ‘Shibboleth;’” and he said “Sibboleth”; for he couldn’t manage to pronounce it right: then they siezed him, and killed him at the fords of the Jordan. At that time, forty-two thousand of Ephraim fell.
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.
7Jephthah judged Israel six years. Then Jephthah the Gileadite died, and was buried in the cities of Gilead.
7Huan, Jephthain Israelte tungah kum guk vai a hawma, huchiin Gilead gam a khua khat ah a vui uh.
8After him Ibzan of Bethlehem judged Israel.
8Huan, a nungin Beth-lehem khuaa mi Ibzanin Israelte tungah vai a hawma.
9He had thirty sons; and thirty daughters he sent abroad, and thirty daughters he brought in from abroad for his sons. 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.
10Ibzan died, and was buried at Bethlehem.
10Huan, Ibzan a sia, Beth-lehem khua ah a vui uh.
11After him Elon the Zebulunite 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.
12Elon the Zebulunite died, and was buried in Aijalon in the land of Zebulun.
12Huan, Zebulun mi Elon a sia, Zebulun gama Aijalon khua ah a vui uh.
13After him Abdon the son of Hillel the Pirathonite judged Israel.
13Huan, huainungin Pirathon mi, Hilel tapa Abdonin Israelte tungah vai a hawma.
14He had forty sons and thirty sons’ sons, who rode on seventy donkey 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.
15Abdon 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.
