Judges 12
1 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 did not call us to go with you? We will burn your house around you with fire!”
E juntando-se os homens de Efraim, passaram até o norte, e disseram a Jefté: Por que foste a fazer guerra contra os filhos de Amom, e não nos chamaste para que fôssemos contigo? Nós queimaremos a fogo tua casa contigo.
2 Jephthah said to them, “I and my people were at great strife with the children of Ammon; and when I called you, you did not save me out of their hand.
E Jefté lhes respondeu: Eu tive, e meu povo, uma grande contenda com os filhos de Amom, e vos chamei, e não me defendestes de suas mãos.
3 When I saw that you did not 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?”
Vendo pois que não me defendíeis, pus minha alma em minha palma, e passei contra os filhos de Amom, e o SENHOR os entregou em minha mão: por que pois subistes hoje contra mim para lutar comigo?
4 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.”
E juntando Jefté a todos os homens de Gileade, lutou contra Efraim; e os de Gileade feriram a Efraim, porque haviam dito: Vós sois fugitivos de Efraim, vós sois gileaditas entre Efraim e Manassés.
5 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;”
E os gileaditas tomaram os vaus do Jordão a Efraim; e era que, quando algum dos de Efraim que havia fugido, dizia, passarei? Os de Gileade lhe perguntavam: És tu efraimita? Se ele respondia, Não;
6 then they said to him, “Now say ‘Shibboleth;’” and he said “Sibboleth”; for he could not 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.
Então lhe diziam: Agora, pois, dize, Chibolete. E ele dizia, Sibolete; porque não podia pronunciar daquela sorte. Então lhe lançavam mão, e lhe degolavam junto aos vaus do Jordão. E morreram então dos de Efraim quarenta e dois mil.
7 Jephthah judged Israel six years. Then Jephthah the Gileadite died, and was buried in the cities of Gilead.
E Jefté julgou Israel por seis anos: logo morreu Jefté gileadita, e foi sepultado em uma das cidades de Gileade.
8 After him Ibzan of Bethlehem judged Israel.
Depois dele julgou a Israel Ibsã de Belém;
9 He had thirty sons. He sent his thirty daughters outside his clan, and he brought in thirty daughters from outside his clan for his sons. He judged Israel seven years.
O qual teve trinta filhos e trinta filhas, as quais casou fora, e tomou de fora trinta filhas para seus filhos: e julgou a Israel sete anos.
10 Ibzan died, and was buried at Bethlehem.
E morreu Ibsã, e foi sepultado em Belém.
11 After him, Elon the Zebulunite judged Israel; and he judged Israel ten years.
Depois dele julgou a Israel Elom, zebulonita, o qual julgou Israel por dez anos.
12 Elon the Zebulunite died, and was buried in Aijalon in the land of Zebulun.
E morreu Elom, zebulonita, e foi sepultado em Aijalom na terra de Zebulom.
13 After him, Abdon the son of Hillel the Pirathonite judged Israel.
Depois dele julgou a Israel Abdom filho de Hilel, piratonita.
14 He had forty sons and thirty sons’ sons who rode on seventy donkey colts. He judged Israel eight years.
Este teve quarenta filhos e trinta netos, que cavalgavam sobre setenta asnos: e julgou a Israel oito anos.
15 Abdon the son of Hillel the Pirathonite died, and was buried in Pirathon in the land of Ephraim, in the hill country of the Amalekites.
E morreu Abdom filho de Hilel, piratonita, e foi sepultado em Piratom, na terra de Efraim, no monte de Amaleque.
