Judges 12

1 Now the men of Ephraim came together and took up arms and went over to Zaphon; and they said to Jephthah, Why did you go over to make war against the children of Ammon without sending for us to go with you? Now we will put your house on fire over you.

E juntando-se os homens de Efraim, passaram até o norte, e disseram a Jefté: Por que foste a fazer guerra contra os filhos de Amom, e não nos chamaste para que fôssemos contigo? Nós queimaremos a fogo tua casa contigo.

2 And Jephthah said to them, I and my people were in danger, and the children of Ammon were very cruel to us, and when I sent for you, you gave me no help against them.

E Jefté lhes respondeu: Eu tive, e meu povo, uma grande contenda com os filhos de Amom, e vos chamei, e não me defendestes de suas mãos.

3 So when I saw that there was no help to be had from you, I put my life in my hand and went over against the children of Ammon, and the Lord gave them into my hands: why then have you come up to me this day to make war on me?

Vendo pois que não me defendíeis, pus minha alma em minha palma, e passei contra os filhos de Amom, e o SENHOR os entregou em minha mão: por que pois subistes hoje contra mim para lutar comigo?

4 Then Jephthah got together all the men of Gilead and made war on Ephraim; and the men of Gilead overcame Ephraim.

E juntando Jefté a todos os homens de Gileade, lutou contra Efraim; e os de Gileade feriram a Efraim, porque haviam dito: Vós sois fugitivos de Efraim, vós sois gileaditas entre Efraim e Manassés.

5 And the Gileadites took the crossing-places of Jordan against the Ephraimites; and when any of the men of Ephraim who had gone in flight said, let me go over; the men of Gilead said to him, Are you an Ephraimite? And if he said, No;

E os gileaditas tomaram os vaus do Jordão a Efraim; e era que, quando algum dos de Efraim que havia fugido, dizia, passarei? Os de Gileade lhe perguntavam: És tu efraimita? Se ele respondia, Não;

6 Then they said to him, Now say Shibboleth; and he said Sibboleth, and was not able to say it in the right way; then they took him and put him to death at the crossing-places of Jordan; and at that time forty-two thousand Ephraimites were put to death.

Então lhe diziam: Agora, pois, dize, Chibolete. E ele dizia, Sibolete; porque não podia pronunciar daquela sorte. Então lhe lançavam mão, e lhe degolavam junto aos vaus do Jordão. E morreram então dos de Efraim quarenta e dois mil.

7 Now Jephthah was judge of Israel for six years. And Jephthah the Gileadite came to his death, and his body was put to rest in his town, Mizpeh of Gilead.

E Jefté julgou Israel por seis anos: logo morreu Jefté gileadita, e foi sepultado em uma das cidades de Gileade.

8 And after him, Ibzan of Beth-lehem was judge of Israel.

Depois dele julgou a Israel Ibsã de Belém;

9 He had thirty sons, and thirty daughters whom he sent to other places, and he got thirty wives from other places for his sons. And he was judge of Israel for seven years.

O qual teve trinta filhos e trinta filhas, as quais casou fora, e tomou de fora trinta filhas para seus filhos: e julgou a Israel sete anos.

10 And Ibzan came to his death and his body was put to rest at Beth-lehem.

E morreu Ibsã, e foi sepultado em Belém.

11 And after him, Elon the Zebulonite was judge of Israel; and he was judge of Israel for ten years.

Depois dele julgou a Israel Elom, zebulonita, o qual julgou Israel por dez anos.

12 And Elon the Zebulonite came to his death, and his body was put to rest in Aijalon in the land of Zebulun.

E morreu Elom, zebulonita, e foi sepultado em Aijalom na terra de Zebulom.

13 And after him, Abdon, the son of Hillel, the Pirathonite, was judge of Israel.

Depois dele julgou a Israel Abdom filho de Hilel, piratonita.

14 He had forty sons and thirty sons' sons who went on seventy young asses; and he was judge of Israel for eight years.

Este teve quarenta filhos e trinta netos, que cavalgavam sobre setenta asnos: e julgou a Israel oito anos.

15 And Abdon, the son of Hillel, came to his death, and his body was put to rest in Pirathon in the land of Ephraim, in the hill-country of the Amalekites.

E morreu Abdom filho de Hilel, piratonita, e foi sepultado em Piratom, na terra de Efraim, no monte de Amaleque.
