Ukusola kwabakwa-Efrayimi nokunqotshwa kwabo
1 Amadoda akwa-Efrayimi abuthana, aya ngasenyakatho; athi kuJefta: “Uwelelani ukulwa nabantwana bakwa-Amoni, ungasibizanga ukuba sihambe nawe, na? Siyakushisa ngomlilo indlu yakho phezu kwakho.”
2UJefta wathi kubo: “Mina nabantu bami sasilwa kakhulu nabantwana bakwa-Amoni; nganibiza, aningisindisanga esandleni sabo. 3 Nxa sengibonile ukuthi aningisindisanga, ngabeka ukuphila kwami esandleni sami, ngadlulela kubantwana bakwa-Amoni, uJehova wabanikela esandleni sami; ngalokho nikhuphukeleni kimi namuhla ukulwa nami na?”
4UJefta wayesebutha bonke abantu bakwaGileyadi, walwa no-Efrayimi; abantu bakwaGileyadi bamahlula u-Efrayimi, ngokuba bathi: “Ningababalekileyo bakwa-Efrayimi nina bakwaGileyadi phakathi kwabakwa-Efrayimi naphakathi kwabakwaManase.” 5AbakwaGileyadi bavimba amazibuko aseJordani phambi kwabakwa-Efrayimi; kwathi lapho ababalekileyo bakwa-Efrayimi bethi: “Mangiwele,” abantu bakwaGileyadi bathi kuye: “Ungowakwa-Efrayimi na?” Uma ethi: “Cha,” 6bathi kuye: “Shono uthi: ‘Shiboleti,’ ” abesethi: “Siboleti,” ngokuba engaqaphelanga ukuliphimisa kahle; base bembamba, bambulala ngasemazibukweni aseJordani; kwawa ngaleso sikhathi abakwa-Efrayimi abayizinkulungwane ezingamashumi amane nambili.
