< Sudije 12 >

1 A ljudi od plemena Jefremova skupiše se, i prešavši na sjever rekoše Jeftaju: zašto si išao u boj na sinove Amonove a nas nijesi pozvao da idemo s tobom? spaliæemo ognjem dom tvoj i tebe.
The men of Ephraim were gathered together, and passed northward; and they said to Jephthah, “Why did you pass over to fight against the children of Ammon, and didn’t call us to go with you? We will burn your house around you with fire!”
2 A Jeftaj im reèe: imah veliku raspru sa sinovima Amonovijem ja i moj narod, i pozvah vas, ali me ne izbaviste iz ruku njegovijeh.
Jephthah said to them, “I and my people were at great strife with the children of Ammon; and when I called you, you didn’t save me out of their hand.
3 Pa videæi da me ne izbaviste, stavih dušu svoju u ruku svoju, i otidoh na sinove Amonove, i Gospod mi ih dade u ruke; pa što ste sada došli k meni da se bijete sa mnom?
When I saw that you didn’t save me, I put my life in my hand, and passed over against the children of Ammon, and the LORD delivered them into my hand. Why then have you come up to me today, to fight against me?”
4 Tada Jeftaj skupi sve ljude od Galada, i udari na Jefrema; i ljudi od Galada pobiše Jefrema; jer govorahu: bjegunci ste Jefremovi vi, ljudi od Galada, koji se bavite meðu Jefremom i meðu Manasijom.
Then Jephthah gathered together all the men of Gilead, and fought with Ephraim. The men of Gilead struck Ephraim, because they said, “You are fugitives of Ephraim, you Gileadites, in the middle of Ephraim, and in the middle of Manasseh.”
5 I Galad uze Jefremu brodove Jordanske. I kad koji od Jefrema dobježe i reèe: pusti me da prijeðem, rekoše mu oni od Galada: jesi li od Jefrema? I kad on reèe: nijesam,
The Gileadites took the fords of the Jordan against the Ephraimites. Whenever a fugitive of Ephraim said, “Let me go over,” the men of Gilead said to him, “Are you an Ephraimite?” If he said, “No;”
6 Onda mu rekoše: reci: Šibolet. A on reèe: Sibolet, ne moguæi dobro izgovoriti. Tada ga uhvatiše i zaklaše na brodu Jordanskom. I pogibe u ono vrijeme iz plemena Jefremova èetrdeset i dvije tisuæe.
then they said to him, “Now say ‘Shibboleth;’” and he said “Sibboleth”; for he couldn’t manage to pronounce it correctly, then they seized him and killed him at the fords of the Jordan. At that time, forty-two thousand of Ephraim fell.
7 I Jeftaj bi sudija Izrailju šest godina; i umrije, i bi pogreben u gradu Galadskom.

10 Potom umrije Avesan, i bi pogreben u Vitlejemu.
Ibzan died, and was buried at Bethlehem.
11 A poslije njega bi sudija Izrailju Elon od Zavulona; on bi sudija Izrailju deset godina.
After him, Elon the Zebulunite judged Israel; and he judged Israel ten years.
12 Potom umrije Elon od Zavulona i bi pogreben u Ajalonu u zemlji Zavulonovoj.

13 Poslije njega bi sudija Izrailju Avdon sin Elilov Faratonjanin.
