Judges 12
1 Then the men of Ephraim assembled and crossed the Jordan to Zaphon. They said to Jephthah, “Why have you crossed over to fight the Ammonites without calling us to go with you? We will burn your house down with you inside!”
Uto se skupiše ljudi od Efrajimova plemena, prijeđoše Jordan put Safona i rekoše Jiftahu. “Zašto si išao u boj protiv Amonaca a nas nisi pozvao da idemo s tobom? Spalit ćemo ti kuću i tebe!”
2 But Jephthah replied, “My people and I had a serious conflict with the Ammonites, and when I called, you did not save me out of their hands.
Jiftah im odgovori: “Imali smo veliku parbu, ja i moj narod, i Amonci su nas teško tlačili. Pozvao sam vas u pomoć, ali me niste izbavili iz njihovih ruku.
3 When I saw that you would not save me, I risked my life and crossed over to the Ammonites, and the LORD delivered them into my hand. Why then have you come today to fight against me?”
Videći da mi nitko ne pritječe u pomoć, stavih svoj život na kocku, odoh sam na Amonce, i Jahve mi ih predade u ruke. Zašto ste, dakle, pošli danas da ratujete protiv mene?”
4 Jephthah then gathered all the men of Gilead and fought against Ephraim. And the men of Gilead struck them down because the Ephraimites had said, “You Gileadites are fugitives in Ephraim, living in the territories of Ephraim and Manasseh.”
Tada skupi Jiftah sve Gileađane i udari na Efrajima. Gileađani potukoše Efrajima, jer su ovi govorili: “Vi ste, Gileađani, Efrajimovi bjegunci koji ste živjeli usred Efrajima i Manašea.”
5 The Gileadites captured the fords of the Jordan leading to Ephraim, and whenever a fugitive from Ephraim would say, “Let me cross over,” the Gileadites would ask him, “Are you an Ephraimite?” If he answered, “No,”
Zatim Gileađani presjekoše Efrajimu jordanske gazove, i kada bi koji bjegunac Efrajimov rekao: “Pustite me da prijeđem”, Gileađani bi ga pitali: “Jesi li Efrajimovac?” A kada bi on odgovorio: “Nisam”,
6 they told him, “Please say Shibboleth.” If he said, “Sibboleth,” because he could not pronounce it correctly, they seized him and killed him at the fords of the Jordan. So at that time 42,000 Ephraimites were killed.
oni bi mu kazali: “Hajde reci: Šibolet!” On bi rekao: “Sibolet” jer nije mogao dobro izgovoriti. Oni bi ga tada uhvatili i pogubili na jordanskim plićacima. Tako je poginulo četrdeset i dvije tisuće ljudi iz Efrajimova plemena.
7 Jephthah judged Israel six years, and when he died, he was buried in one of the cities of Gilead.
Jiftah je sudio Izraelu šest godina. A kada je Gileađanin Jiftah umro, pokopaše ga u njegovu gradu, u Gileadu.
8 After Jephthah, Ibzan of Bethlehem judged Israel.
Poslije njega sudac u Izraelu bijaše Ibsan iz Betlehema.
9 He had thirty sons, as well as thirty daughters whom he gave in marriage to men outside his clan; and for his sons he brought back thirty wives from elsewhere. Ibzan judged Israel seven years.
On je imao trideset sinova i trideset kćeri, koje je poudao iz kuće, a trideset je snaha doveo izvana svojim sinovima. On je sudio Izraelu sedam godina.
10 Then Ibzan died, and he was buried in Bethlehem.
Zatim umrije Ibsan i pokopaše ga u Betlehemu.
11 After Ibzan, Elon the Zebulunite judged Israel ten years.
Poslije njega sudac u Izraelu bijaše Elon Zebulunac. On je sudio Izraelu deset godina.
12 Then Elon the Zebulunite died, and he was buried in Aijalon in the land of Zebulun.
Zatim umrije Zebulunac Elon i pokopaše ga u Ajalonu u zemlji Zebulunovoj.
13 After Elon, Abdon son of Hillel, from Pirathon, judged Israel.
Poslije njega sudac u Izraelu bijaše Abdon, sin Hilela iz Pireatona.
14 He had forty sons and thirty grandsons, who rode on seventy donkeys. And he judged Israel eight years.
On je imao četrdeset sinova i trideset unuka koji su jahali na sedamdesetero magaradi. On je sudio Izraelu osam godina.
15 Then Abdon son of Hillel, from Pirathon, died, and he was buried at Pirathon in Ephraim, in the hill country of the Amalekites.
Zatim umrije Abdon, sin Hilela iz Pireatona, i pokopaše ga u Pireatonu u Efrajimovoj gori, u zemlji Šaalimu.
