士師記 12
1 エフライムの人々つどひて北にゆきヱフタにいひけるは汝何故に往きてアンモンの子孫と戰ひながらわれらをまねきて汝とともに行せざりしや我ら火をもて汝の家を汝とともに焚くべしと
The men of Ephraim were gathered together, and passed northward; and they said to Jephthah, "Why did you pass over to fight against the people of Ammon, and did not call us to go with you? We will burn your house on you with fire."
2 ヱフタ之にいひけるは我とわが民の曾てアンモンの子孫と大に爭ひしときに我汝らをよびしに汝らかれらの手より我を救ふことをせざりき
And Jephthah said to them, "I and my people had a dispute, and the people of Ammon were oppressing me greatly; and when I called you, you did not save me out of their hand.
3 我汝らが我を救はざるを見たればわが命をかけてアンモンの子孫の所に攻ゆきしにヱホバかれらを我が手に付したまへり然ば汝らなんぞ今日我が許に上り來りて我とたたかはんとするやと
When I saw that you did not save me, I put my life in my own hands, and passed over against the people of Ammon, and YHWH delivered them into my hand. Why then have you come up to me this day, to fight against me?"
4 ヱフタここにおいてギレアデの人をことごとくつどへてエフライムとたたかひしがギレアデの人々エフライムを撃破れり是はエフライム汝らギレアデ人はエフライムの逃亡者にしてエフライムとマナセの中にをるなりと言しに由る
Then Jephthah gathered together all the men of Gilead, and fought with Ephraim; and the men of Gilead struck Ephraim, because they said, "You are fugitives of Ephraim, you Gileadites, in the midst of Ephraim, and in the midst of Manasseh."
5 而してギレアデ人エフライムにおもむくところのヨルダンの津をとりきりしがエフライム人の逃れ來る者ありて我を渡らせよといへばギレアデの人之に汝はエフライム人なるかと問ひ彼もし然らずと言ときは
The Gileadites took the fords of the Jordan against the Ephraimites. It was so, that when any of the fugitives of Ephraim said, "Let me go over," the men of Gilead said to him, "Are you an Ephraimite?" If he said, "No";
6 また之に請ふシボレテといへといふに彼その音を正しくいひ得ずしてセボレテと言ばすなはち之を引捕へてヨルダンの津に屠せりその時にエフライム人のたふれし者四萬二千人なりき
then they said to him, "Now say 'Shibboleth;'" and he said "Sibboleth"; for he couldn't manage to pronounce it right: then they seized him, and killed him at the fords of the Jordan. There fell at that time of Ephraim forty-two thousand.
7 ヱフタ六年のあひだイスラエルを審きたりギレアデ人ヱフタつひに死てギレアデのある邑に葬むらる
Jephthah judged Israel six years. Then Jephthah the Gileadite died, and was buried in his city in Gilead.

11 彼の後にゼブルン人エロン、イスラエルを審きたりゼブルン人エロン十年のあひだイスラエルを審きたり
After him Elon the Zebulunite judged Israel; and he judged Israel ten years.
12 ゼブルン人エロンつひに死てゼブルンの地のアヤロンに葬むらる
Elon the Zebulunite died, and was buried in Aijalon in the land of Zebulun.
13 彼の後にピラトン人ヒレルの子アブドン、イスラエルを審きたり
After him Abdon the son of Hillel the Pirathonite judged Israel.
14 彼に四十人の男子および三十人の孫ありて七十の驢馬に乗る彼八年のあひだイスラエルを審けり
