Dommer 12
1 Derpaa stævnedes Efraimiterne sammen, og de drog nordpaa; og de sagde til Jefta: »Hvorfor drog du i Kamp mod Ammoniterne uden at opfordre os til at gaa med? Nu brænder vi Huset af over Hovedet paa dig!«
And the men of Ephraim were called together, and went northward, and said unto Yiphthach, Wherefore didst thou pass over to fight against the children of 'Ammon, and didst not call for us to go with thee? thy house will we burn over thee with fire.
2 Men Jefta svarede dem: »Jeg og mit Folk var i Krig, og Ammoniterne trængte os haardt; da sendte jeg Bud efter eder, men I hjalp mig ikke imod dem;
And Yiphthach said unto them, I and my people were greatly engaged in strife with the children of 'Ammon; and I called you, but ye helped me not out of their hand.
3 og da jeg saa, at ingen kom mig til Hjælp, vovede jeg Livet og drog mod Ammoniterne, og HERREN gav dem i min Haand. Hvorfor drager I da nu i Kamp imod mig?«
And when I saw that ye helped me not, I put my life in my hand, and passed over to the children of 'Ammon, and the Lord delivered them into my hand; and why then are ye come up unto me this day, to fight against me?
4 Derpaa samlede Jefta alle Gileads Mænd og angreb Efraimiterne; og Gileads Mænd slog Efraimiterne.
Then Yiphthach gathered together all the men of Gil'ad, and fought with Ephraim; and the men of Gil'ad smote Ephraim, because they said, Ye are fugitives of Ephraim: Gil'ad is in the midst, between Ephraim and Menasseh.
5 Og Gileaditerne afskar Efraimiterne fra Jordans Vadesteder. Hver Gang saa en af de efraimitiske Flygtninge sagde: »Lad mig komme over!« spurgte Gileads Mænd: »Er du Efraimit?« Og naar han svarede: »Nej!«
And the Gil'adites seized on the passages of the Jordan before the Ephraimites: and it came to pass, when the Ephraimites who had escaped said, Let me pass over; that the men of Gil'ad said unto him, Art thou an Ephrathite? and if he said, No;
6 sagde de til ham: »Sig Sjibbolet!« Og naar han da sagde Sibbolet, fordi han ikke kunde udtale Ordet rigtigt, greb de ham og huggede ham ned ved Jordans Vadesteder. Ved den Lejlighed faldt 42 000 Efraimiter.
Then said they unto him, Do say, Shibboleth; but when he said, Sibboleth, and was not able to pronounce it correctly, they laid hold of him and slew him on the passages of the Jordan; and there fell at that time of the Ephraimites forty and two thousand.
7 Jefta var Dommer i Israel i seks Aar. Saa døde Gileaditen Jefta og blev jordet i sin By i Gilead.
And Yiphthach judged Israel six years; and then died Yiphthach the Gil'adite, and was buried in [one of] the cities of Gil'ad.
8 Efter ham var Ibzan fra Betlehem Dommer i Israel.
And after him there judged Israel Ibzan of Beth-lechem.
9 Han havde tredive Sønner; tredive Døtre giftede han bort, og tredive Svigerdøtre hjemførte han til sine Sønner.
And he had thirty sons; and thirty daughters he sent abroad, and thirty daughters he brought in for his sons from abroad: and he judged Israel seven years.
10 Han var Dommer i Israel i syv Aar. Saa døde Ibzan og blev jordet i Betlehem.
Then died Ibzan, and was buried at Beth-lechem.
11 Efter ham var Zebuloniten Elon Dommer i Israel. Han var Dommer i Israel i ti Aar.
And after him there judged Israel Elon the Zebulonite; and he judged Israel ten years.
12 Saa døde Zebuloniten Elon og blev jordet i Ajjalon i Zebulons Land.
Then died Elon the Zebulonite, and was buried in Ayalon in the country of Zebulun.
13 Efter ham var Abdon, Hillels Søn, fra Pir'aton Dommer i Israel.
And after him there judged Israel 'Abdon the son of Hillel the Pir'athonite.
14 Han havde fyrretyve Sønner og tredive Sønnesønner, som red paa halvfjerdsindstyve Æsler. Han var Dommer i Israel i otte Aar.
And he had forty sons and thirty grandsons, that rode on seventy ass-colts; and he judged Israel eight years.
15 Saa døde Abdon, Hillels Søn, fra Pir'aton og blev jordet i Pir'aton i Efraims Land paa Amalekiterbjerget.
Then died 'Abdon the son of Hillel the Pir'athonite, and was buried in Pir'athon in the land of Ephraim, in the mountain of the 'Amalekites.
