Judges 12

Na ka huihuia nga tangata o Eparaima, a ka haere ki te raki, ka mea ki a Iepeta, He aha koe i haere ai ki te whawhai ki nga tamariki a Amona, a kihai i karanga i a matou kia haere tahi tatou? ka tahuna e matou tou whare i runga i a koe ki te ahi.

And 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.

Na ka mea a Iepeta ki a ratou, He nui ta matou whawhai ko toku iwi ki nga tamariki a Amona; a i taku karangatanga atu ki a koutou, kihai koutou i whakaora i ahau i roto i to ratou ringa.

And 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.

A, no toku kitenga kihai koutou i whakaora i ahau, whakamomori atu ana ahau ki te mate, a haere ana ki nga tamariki a Amona, na homai ana ratou e Ihowa ki toku ringa: a he aha ra koutou i haere mai ai ki ahau inaianei, whawhai ai?

And 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?

Katahi ka huihuia e Iepeta nga tangata katoa o Kireara, a ka whawhai ki a Eparaima: a patua iho a Eparaima e nga tangata o Kireara, mo ta ratou ki, He rerenga koutou, e nga Kireari, no Eparaima, i roto i nga Eparaimi, i roto i nga Manahi.

Then 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.

Na ka nohoia e nga Kireari nga whitinga mo nga Eparaimi i Horano, a, i te meatanga a nga rerenga o nga Eparaimi, Kia whiti atu ahau; na ka mea nga tangata o Kireara ki a ia, No Eparaima koe? A no tana kianga, Kahore;

And 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;

Katahi ratou ka mea ki a ia, Tena, whakahuatia, Hiporete: na ko tana meatanga, Iporete: kahore hoki i taea e ia te tikanga o te whakahua. Na hopukia ana ia e ratou, a patua iho ki nga whitinga o Horano: A e wha tekau ma rua mano o nga Eparaimi i hinga i taua wa.

Then 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.

A e ono nga tau i whakarite ai a Iepeta mo Iharaira. Na ka mate a Iepeta Kireari, a tanumia ana ki tetahi o nga pa o Kireara.

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

A i muri i a ia na Ipitana i whakarite a Iharaira; no Peterehema ia.

And after him Ibzan of Beth–lehem judged Israel.

A e toru tekau ana tama, e toru tekau hoki ana tamahine; ko enei i tonoa e ia ki waho, e toru tekau ano hoki nga tamahine i tangohia mai e ia i waho ma ana tama. A e whitu nga tau i whakarite ai ia mo Iharaira.

And 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.

Na ka mate a Ipitana, a ka tanu mai ki Peterehema.

Then died Ibzan, and was buried at Beth–lehem.

A i muri i a ia na Erono Hepuroni i whakarite a Iharaira; a kotahi tekau nga tau i whakarite ai ia mo Iharaira.

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

Na ka mate a Erono Hepuroni, a tanumia ana ki Aitarona ki te whenua o Hepurona.

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

A, muri iho i a ia, na Aparono tama a Hirere o Piratono i whakarite a Iharaira.

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

A e wha tekau ana tama, e toru tekau hoki nga tama a ana tama; e whitu tekau nga kuao kaihe i eke ai ratou: a e waru nga tau i whakarite ai ia mo Iharaira.

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

Na ka mate a Aparono tama a hirere o Piratono, a ka tanumia ki Piratono ki te whenua o Eparaima, ki te whenua pukepuke o nga Amareki.

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