Judges 12
Maori Bible
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.
2 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.
3 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?
4 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.
5 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;
6 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.
7 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.
8 A i muri i a ia na Ipitana i whakarite a Iharaira; no Peterehema ia.
9 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.
10 Na ka mate a Ipitana, a ka tanu mai ki Peterehema.
11 A i muri i a ia na Erono Hepuroni i whakarite a Iharaira; a kotahi tekau nga tau i whakarite ai ia mo Iharaira.
12 Na ka mate a Erono Hepuroni, a tanumia ana ki Aitarona ki te whenua o Hepurona.
13 A, muri iho i a ia, na Aparono tama a Hirere o Piratono i whakarite a Iharaira.
14 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.
15 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.

Jephthah and Ephraim
12 The Ephraimite forces were called out, and they crossed over to Zaphon.(A) They said to Jephthah,(B) “Why did you go to fight the Ammonites without calling us to go with you?(C) We’re going to burn down your house over your head.”
2 Jephthah answered, “I and my people were engaged in a great struggle with the Ammonites, and although I called, you didn’t save me out of their hands. 3 When I saw that you wouldn’t help, I took my life in my hands(D) and crossed over to fight the Ammonites, and the Lord gave me the victory(E) over them. Now why have you come up today to fight me?”
4 Jephthah then called together the men of Gilead(F) and fought against Ephraim. The Gileadites struck them down because the Ephraimites had said, “You Gileadites are renegades from Ephraim and Manasseh.(G)” 5 The Gileadites captured the fords of the Jordan(H) leading to Ephraim, and whenever a survivor of Ephraim said, “Let me cross over,” the men of Gilead asked him, “Are you an Ephraimite?” If he replied, “No,” 6 they said, “All right, say ‘Shibboleth.’” If he said, “Sibboleth,” because he could not pronounce the word correctly, they seized him and killed him at the fords of the Jordan. Forty-two thousand Ephraimites were killed at that time.
7 Jephthah led[a] Israel six years. Then Jephthah the Gileadite died and was buried in a town in Gilead.
Ibzan, Elon and Abdon
8 After him, Ibzan of Bethlehem(I) led Israel. 9 He had thirty sons and thirty daughters. He gave his daughters away in marriage to those outside his clan, and for his sons he brought in thirty young women as wives from outside his clan. Ibzan led Israel seven years. 10 Then Ibzan died and was buried in Bethlehem.
11 After him, Elon the Zebulunite led Israel ten years. 12 Then Elon died and was buried in Aijalon(J) in the land of Zebulun.
13 After him, Abdon son of Hillel, from Pirathon,(K) led Israel. 14 He had forty sons and thirty grandsons,(L) who rode on seventy donkeys.(M) He led Israel eight years. 15 Then Abdon son of Hillel died and was buried at Pirathon in Ephraim, in the hill country of the Amalekites.(N)
