Judges 12
1 And the men of Ephraim assembled [themselves], and passed on to the north, and said to Jephthae, Therefore did you go over to fight with the children of Ammon, and did not call us to go with you? we will burn your house over you with fire.
Efraimitarne baud ut mannskapet sitt, og for nordetter, og sagde til Jefta: «Kvi sende du’kje bod etter oss då du for av stad og vilde strida mot ammonitarne? No vil me setja eld på husi dine og brenna deg inne.»
2 And Jephthae said to them, I and my people and the children of Ammon were very much engaged in war; and I called for you, and you did not save me out of their hand.
«Eg og folket mitt låg i ein hard strid med ammonitarne, svara Jefta; «då ropa eg på dykk, men de hjelpte meg ikkje imot deim;
3 And I saw that you were no helper, and I put my life in my hand, and passed on to the sons of Ammon; and the Lord delivered them into my hand: and therefore are you come up against me this day to fight with me?
og då eg såg at de ikkje vilde hjelpa, våga eg livet, og for imot ammonitarne, og Herren gav deim i henderne mine. Kvi kjem de so no farande og vil slåst med meg?»
4 And Jephthae gathered all the men of Galaad, and fought with Ephraim; and the men of Galaad struck Ephraim, because they that were escaped of Ephraim said, You [are] of Galaad in the midst of Ephraim and in the midst of Manasse.
So samla han alle Gileads-mennerne, og stridde mot Efraim. Og Gileads-mennerne hogg efraimitarne ned, for di dei hadde sagt: De er rømingar frå Efraim! Gilead ligg midt i Efraim, midt i Manasse.»
5 And Galaad took the fords of Jordan before Ephraim; and they that escaped of Ephraim said to them, Let us go over: and the men of Galaad said, Are you an Ephrathite? and he said, No.
Dei stengde vadi yver Jordan for efraimitarne, og kvar gong det kom ein efraimit som hadde rømt ifrå slaget og vilde sleppa yver, spurde dei: «Er du efraimit?» Han svara: «Nei.»
6 Then they said to him, Say now Stachys; and he did not rightly pronounce it so: and they took him, and killed him at the fords of Jordan; and there fell at that time of Ephraim two and forty thousand.
«Seg: sjibbolet!» sagde dei. Då sagde han: «Sibbolet; » for han kunde ikkje segja det rett. So greip dei honom, og drap honom innmed vadet. Den gongen fall det tvo og fyrti tusund mann av Efraims-ætti.
7 And Jephthae judged Israel six years; and Jephthae the Galaadite died, and was buried in his city Galaad.
Jefta styrde Israel i seks år. So døydde Jefta frå Gilead, og vart gravlagd i ein av Gileads-byarne.
8 And after him Abaissan of Bethleem judged Israel.
Etter honom var Ibsan frå Betlehem styrar i Israel.
9 And he had thirty sons, and thirty daughters, whom he sent forth; and he brought in thirty daughters for his sons from without; and he judged Israel seven years.
Han hadde tretti søner; tretti døtter gifte han burt, og tretti sonekonor henta han heim; han styrde Israel i sju år.
10 And Abaissan died, and was buried in Bethleem.
So døydde Ibsan, og vart gravlagd i Betlehem.
11 And after him Aelom of Zabulon judged Israel ten years.
Etter honom var Elon av Sebulons-ætti styrar i Israel. Han styrde Israel i ti år.
12 And Aelom of Zabulon died, and was buried in Aelom in the land of Zabulon.
So døydde Elon av Sebulons-ætti, og vart gravlagd i Ajjalon i Sebulonslandet.
13 And after him Abdon the son of Ellel, the Pharathonite, judged Israel.
Etter honom var Abdon Hillelsson frå Piraton styrrar i Israel.
14 And he had forty sons, and thirty grandsons, that rode upon seventy colts: and he judged Israel eight years.
Han hadde fyrti søner og tretti sonesøner; dei reid på sytti asenfolar. Han styrde Israel i åtte år.
15 And Abdon the son of Ellel, the Pharathonite, died, and was buried in Pharathon in the land of Ephraim in the mount of Amalec.
So døydde Abdon Hillelsson frå Piraton, og vart gravlagd i Piraton i Efraimsland, på Amaleksfjell.
