1 Shromáždili se pak muži Efraim, a přešedše k straně půlnoční, řekli k Jefte: Proč jsi vyšel k boji proti Ammonitským, a nepovolal jsi nás, abychom šli s tebou? Dům tvůj i tebe ohněm spálíme.
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 K nimž řekl Jefte: Nesnáz jsem měl já a lid můj s Ammonitskými velikou; tedy povolal jsem vás, ale nevysvobodili jste mne z ruky jejich.
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 Protož vida, že jste mne nevysvobodili, odvážil jsem se života svého, a táhl jsem proti Ammonitským, i dal je Hospodin v ruku mou. Ale proč jste dnes přišli ke mně? Zdali abyste bojovali proti mně?
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 Tedy shromáždil Jefte všecky muže Galádské, a bojoval s Efraimem. I porazili muži Galád Efraimské, nebo pravili poběhlci Efraimští: Vy Galádští jste u prostřed Efraima a u prostřed Manassesa.
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 Odjali Galádští též i brody Jordánské Efraimským. A bylo, že když kdo z utíkajících Efraimských řekl: Nechať přejdu, řekli jemu muži Galádští: Jsi-li Efratejský? Jestliže řekl: Nejsem,
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 Tedy řekli jemu: Rci hned Šibolet. I řekl: Sibolet, aniž dobře mohl vyřknouti toho. Tedy pochytíce jej, zamordovali ho u brodu Jordánského. I padlo toho času z Efraima čtyřidceti a dva tisíce.
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 Soudil pak Jefte Izraele šest let; a umřel Jefte Galádský, a pochován jest v jednom z měst Galádských.
And Jephte the Galaadite judged Israel six years: and he died, and was buried in his city of Galaad.
8 Potom soudil po něm Izraele Abesam z Betléma.
After him Abesan of Bethlehem judged Israel:
9 A měl třidceti synů a třidceti dcer, kteréž rozevdal od sebe, a třidceti žen přivedl od jinud synům svým. I soudil Izraele sedm 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 A umřev Abesam, pochován jest v Betlémě.
And he died, and was buried in Bethlehem.
11 Po něm pak soudil Izraele Elon Zabulonský; ten soudil Izraele deset let.
To him succeeded Ahialon a Zabulonite: and he judged Israel ten years:
12 I umřel Elon Zabulonský, a pochován jest v Aialon, v zemi Zabulon.
And he died, and was buried in Zabulon.
13 Potom soudil Izraele Abdon syn Hellelův Faratonský.
After him Abdon, the son of Illel, a Pharathonite, judged Israel:
14 Ten měl čtyřidceti synů a třidceti vnuků, kteříž jezdili na sedmdesáti mezcích; i soudil Izraele osm let.
And he had forty sons, and of them thirty grandsons, mounted upon seventy ass colts, and he judged Israel eight years:
15 Umřev pak Abdon syn Hellelův Faratonský, pohřben jest v Faraton, v zemi Efraim na hoře Amalechitské.
And he died, and was buried in Pharathon in the land of Ephraim, in the mount of Amalech.
