Judges 12
1 And the me of Ephraim gathered themselues together, and went Northwarde, and saide vnto Iphtah, Wherefore wentest thou to fight against the children of Ammon, and diddest not call vs to goe with thee? we will therefore burne thine house vpon thee with fire.
以法莲人聚集，到了北方，对耶弗他说：“你去与亚扪人争战，为什么没有招我们同去呢？我们必用火烧你和你的房屋。”
2 And Iphtah said vnto them, I and my people were at great strife with the children of Ammon, and when I called you, ye deliuered me not out of their handes.
耶弗他对他们说：“我和我的民与亚扪人大大争战；我招你们来，你们竟没有来救我脱离他们的手。
3 So when I sawe that ye deliuered me not, I put my life in mine hands, and went vpon the children of Ammon: so the Lord deliuered them into mine handes. Wherefore then are ye come vpon me nowe to fight against me?
我见你们不来救我，我就拚命前去攻击亚扪人，耶和华将他们交在我手中。你们今日为什么上我这里来攻打我呢？”
4 Then Iphtah gathered all the men of Gilead, and fought with Ephraim: and the men of Gilead smote Ephraim, because they said, Ye Gileadites are runnagates of Ephraim among the Ephraimites, and among the Manassites.
于是耶弗他招聚基列人，与以法莲人争战。基列人击杀以法莲人，是因他们说：“你们基列人在以法莲、玛拿西中间，不过是以法莲逃亡的人。”
5 Also the Gileadites tooke the passages of Iorden before the Ephraimites, and when the Ephraimites that were escaped, saide, Let me passe, then the men of Gilead said vnto him, Art thou an Ephraimite? If he said, Nay,
基列人把守约旦河的渡口，不容以法莲人过去。以法莲逃走的人若说：“容我过去。”基列人就问他说：“你是以法莲人不是？”他若说：“不是”，
6 Then said they vnto him, Say nowe Shibboleth: and he said, Sibboleth: for he could not so pronounce: then they tooke him, and slewe him at the passages of Iorden: and there fel at that time of the Ephraimites two and fourtie thousand.
就对他说：“你说‘示播列’。”以法莲人因为咬不真字音，便说“西播列”。基列人就将他拿住，杀在约旦河的渡口。那时以法莲人被杀的有四万二千人。
7 And Iphtah iudged Israel sixe yeere: then dyed Iphtah the Gileadite, and was buryed in one of the cities of Gilead.
耶弗他作以色列的士师六年。基列人耶弗他死了，葬在基列的一座城里。
8 After him Ibzan of Beth-lehem iudged Israel,
耶弗他以后，有伯利恒人以比赞作以色列的士师。
9 Who had thirtie sonnes and thirtie daughters, which he sent out, and tooke in thirtie daughters from abroade for his sonnes. and he iudged Israel seuen yeere.
他有三十个儿子，三十个女儿；女儿都嫁出去了。他给众子从外乡娶了三十个媳妇。他作以色列的士师七年。
10 Then Ibzan died, and was buryed at Bethlehem.
以比赞死了，葬在伯利恒。
11 And after him iudged Israel Elon, a Zebulonite, and he iudged Israel tenne yeere.
以比赞之后，有西布伦人以伦，作以色列的士师十年。
12 Then Elon the Zebulonite dyed, and was buryed in Aijalon in the countrey of Zebulun.
西布伦人以伦死了，葬在西布伦地的亚雅 。
13 And after him Abdon the sonne of Hillel the Pirathonite iudged Israel.
以伦之后，有比拉顿人希列的儿子押顿作以色列的士师。
14 And he had fourty sonnes and thirtie nephewes that rode on seuentie assecoltes: and he iudged Israel eight yeeres.
他有四十个儿子，三十个孙子，骑着七十匹驴驹。押顿作以色列的士师八年。
15 Then dyed Abdon the sonne of Hillel the Pirathonite, and was buryed in Pirathon, in ye lande of Ephraim, in the Mount of the Amalekites.
比拉顿人希列的儿子押顿死了，葬在以法莲地的比拉顿，在亚玛力人的山地。
