Sodniki 12
1 Možje iz Efrájima so se zbrali skupaj in odšli proti severu in rekli Jefteju: »Zakaj prehajaš preko, da se boriš zoper Amónove otroke, nas pa nisi poklical, da gremo s teboj? Nad teboj bomo tvojo hišo požgali z ognjem.«
But behold there arose a sedition in Ephraim. And passing towards the north, they said to Jephte: When thou wentest to fight against the children of Ammon, why wouldst thou not call us, that we might go with thee? Therefore we will burn thy house.
2 Jefte jim je rekel: »Jaz in moje ljudstvo smo bili v velikem boju z Amónovimi otroki in ko sem vas poklical, me niste osvobodili iz njihovih rok.
And he answered them: I and my people were at great strife with the children of Ammon: and I called you to assist me, and you would not do it.
3 Ko sem videl, da me niste osvobodili, sem svoje življenje vzel v svoje roke in šel preko, proti Amónovim otrokom in Gospod jih je izročil v mojo roko. Zakaj ste torej vi ta dan prišli gor do mene, da se borite zoper mene?«
And when I saw this, I put my life in my own hands, and passed over against the children of Ammon, and the Lord delivered them into my hands. What have I deserved, that you should rise up to fight against me?
4 Potem je Jefte zbral skupaj vse gileádske može in se bojeval z Efrájimom in gileádski možje so udarili Efrájim, ker so rekli: »Vi Gileádčani ste ubežniki iz Efrájima med Efrájimci in Manásejci.«
Then calling to him all the men of Galaad, he fought against Ephraim: and the men of Galaad defeated Ephraim, because he had said: Galaad is a fugitive of Ephraim, and dwelleth in the midst of Ephraim and Manasses.
5 Gileádčani so pred Efrájimci zavzeli jordanske prehode. In bilo je tako, da ko so tisti Efrájimci, ki so pobegnili, rekli: »Naj grem preko, « da so mu gileádski možje rekli: » Ali si Efrájimec?« Če je rekel: »Ne, «
And the Galaadites secured the fords of the Jordan, by which Ephraim was to return. And when any one of the number of Ephraim came thither in the flight, and said: I beseech you let me pass: the Galaadites said to him: Art thou not an Ephraimite? If he said: I am not:
6 potem so mu rekli: »Reci sedaj Šibólet« in je rekel »Sibólet, « kajti tega ni mogel pravilno naglasiti. Potem so ga prijeli in usmrtil pri jordanskih prehodih in tam jih je ob tistem času izmed Efrájimcev padlo dvainštirideset tisoč.
They asked him: Say then, Scibboleth, which is interpreted, An ear of corn. But he answered, Sibboleth, not being able to express an ear of corn by the same letter. Then presently they took him and killed him in the very passage of the Jordan. And there fell at that time of Ephraim two and forty thousand.
7 Jefte je Izraelu sodil šest let. Potem je Gileádčan Jefte umrl in bil pokopan v enem izmed mest Gileáda.
And Jephte the Galaadite judged Israel six years: and he died, and was buried in his city of Galaad.
8 Za njim je Izraelu sodil Ibcán iz Betlehema.
After him Abesan of Bethlehem judged Israel:
9 Ta je imel trideset sinov in trideset hčera, ki jih je poslal naokrog in za svoje sinove je vzel trideset hčera od drugod. Izraelu je sodil sedem let.
He had thirty sons, and as many daughters, whom he sent abroad, and gave to husbands, and took wives for his sons of the same number, bringing them into his house. And he judged Israel seven years:
10 Potem je Ibcán umrl in je bil pokopan pri Betlehemu.
And he died, and was buried in Bethlehem.
11 Za njim je Izraelu sodil Zábulonec Elón. Izraelu je sodil deset let.
To him succeeded Ahialon a Zabulonite: and he judged Israel ten years:
12 Zábulonec Elón je umrl in je bil pokopan v Ajalónu, v deželi Zábulon.
And he died, and was buried in Zabulon.
13 Za njim je Izraelu sodil Abdón, sin Piratónca Hiléla.
After him Abdon, the son of Illel, a Pharathonite, judged Israel:
14 Ta je imel štirideset sinov in trideset nečakov, ki so jahali na sedemdesetih osličjih žrebetih. Izraelu je sodil osem let.
And he had forty sons, and of them thirty grandsons, mounted upon seventy ass colts, and he judged Israel eight years:
15 Abdón, sin Piratónca Hiléla, je umrl in je bil pokopan v Piratónu, v deželi Efrájim, na gori Amalečanov.
And he died, and was buried in Pharathon in the land of Ephraim, in the mount of Amalech.
