Judges 12

1 And behold, a sedition rose up in Ephraim. Then, while passing by toward the north, they said to Jephthah: “When you were going to fight against the sons of Ammon, why were you unwilling to summon us, so that we might go with you? Therefore, we will burn down your house.”

Tad Efraīma vīri tapa sasaukti un gāja pret ziemeļa pusi un sacīja uz Jeftu: kāpēc tu esi gājis karot pret Amona bērniem un mūs neesi aicinājis, tev iet līdzi? Mēs tavu namu pār tevi sadedzināsim ar uguni.

2 And he answered them: “I and my people were in a great conflict against the sons of Ammon. And I called you, so that you might offer assistance to me. And you were not willing to do so.

Un Jeftus uz tiem sacīja: man un maniem ļaudīm bija liels strīds ar Amona bērniem, un es jūs lūdzu, bet jūs man nepalīdzējāt (atbrīvoties) no viņu rokas.

3 And discerning this, I put my life in my own hands, and I crossed to the sons of Ammon, and the Lord delivered them into my hands. What am I guilty of, that you would rise up in battle against me?”

Kad es nu redzēju, ka jūs negribējāt palīdzēt, tad es savu dvēseli liku savā rokā un gāju pret Amona bērniem, un Tas Kungs tos nodeva manā rokā. Kāpēc tad jūs šodien pret mani esat nākuši, karot ar mani?

4 And so, calling to himself all the men of Gilead, he fought against Ephraim. And the men of Gilead struck down Ephraim, because he had said, “Gilead is a fugitive from Ephraim, and he lives in the midst of Ephraim and Manasseh.”

Un Jeftus sapulcēja visus Gileādas vīrus un karoja ar Efraīmu, un Gileādas vīrī sakāva Efraīmu, tāpēc ka tie sacīja: jūs Gileādieši starp Efraīma un Manasus, jūs esat Efraīma bēgļi.

5 And the Gileadites occupied the fords of the Jordan, along which Ephraim was to return. And when anyone from the number of Ephraim had arrived, fleeing, and had said, “I beg that you permit me to pass,” the Gileadites would say to him, “Could you be an Ephraimite?” And if he said, “I am not,”

Un Gileādieši aizņēma Efraīmiešiem Jardānes pārejamo vietu. Un kad Efraīmieši bēgot sacīja: ļauj man pāriet! Tad Gileādas vīri uz to sacīja: vai tu esi no Efraīma? Kad viņš tad sacīja: ne!

6 they would ask him, then say ‘Shibboleth,’ which is translated as ‘ear of grain.’ But he would answer ‘Sibboleth,’ not being able to express the word for an ear of grain in the same letters. And immediately apprehending him, they would cut his throat, at the same crossing point of the Jordan. And in that time of Ephraim, forty-two thousand fell.

Tad tie uz viņu sacīja: saki jel: Šibolet! Un kad tas sacīja: Sibolet! Un to nevarēja pareizi izrunāt; tad tie viņu sagrāba un to nokāva pie Jardānes pārejamās vietas, ka tanī laikā no Efraīma četrdesmit divi tūkstoši krita.

7 And so Jephthah, the Gileadite, judged Israel for six years. And he died, and he was buried in his city in Gilead.

Bet Jeftus tiesāja Israēli sešus gadus. Un Jeftus, tas Gileādietis, nomira un tapa aprakts kādā Gileādas pilsētā.

8 After him, Ibzan of Bethlehem judged Israel.

Un pēc viņa Ebcans no Bētlemes tiesāja Israēli.

9 He had thirty sons, and the same number of daughters, whom he sent away to be given to husbands. And he accepted wives for his sons of the same number, bringing them into his house. And he judged Israel for seven years.

Un tam bija trīsdesmit dēli, un trīsdesmit meitas viņš izdeva, un trīsdesmit meitas viņš ieveda no ārienes priekš saviem dēliem.

10 And he died, and he was buried in Bethlehem.

Un tas Israēli tiesāja septiņus gadus; tad Ebcans nomira un tapa aprakts Bētlemē.

11 After him succeeded Elon, a Zebulunite. And he judged Israel for ten years.

Un pēc viņa Elons, tas Zebulonietis, tiesāja Israēli, un tas Israēli tiesāja desmit gadus.

12 And he died, and he was buried in Zebulun.

Un Elons, tas Zebulonietis, nomira un tapa aprakts Ajalonā, Zebulona zemē.

13 After him, Abdon, the son of Hillel, a Pirathonite, judged Israel.

Un pēc viņa Abdons, Ilela, tā Piratonieša, dēls, tiesāja Israēli.

14 And he had forty sons, and from them thirty grandsons, all riding upon seventy young donkeys. And he judged Israel for eight years.

Un tam bija četrdesmit dēli un trīsdesmit dēlu dēli, kas uz septiņdesmit ēzeļiem jāja, un tas tiesāja Israēli astoņus gadus.

15 And he died, and he was buried at Pirathon, in the land of Ephraim, on the mountain of Amalek.

Un Abdons, Ilela, tā Piratonieša, dēls, nomira un tapa aprakts Piratonā, Efraīma zemē, uz Amaleka kalniem.
