9 The men of Ephraim, though armed with bows, turned back on the day of battle; 10 they did not keep God's covenant and refused to live by his law.
9Bana ba Efraime ba hlometseng, ba tshwereng diqha, ba ile ba baleha tsatsing la ntwa; 10ha ba ka ba boloka selekane sa Modimo, ba hana ho tsamaya ka molao wa wona; 11ba lebala ketso tsa wona tse phahameng le meeka ya wona, eo o ba bontshitseng yona.
