< 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.
Och de af Ephraim skriade, och gingo norrut, och sade till Jephthah: Hvi drogst du i strid emot Ammons barn, och kallade icke oss, att vi hade mått dragit med dig? Vi vilje uppbränna ditt hus med dig i elde.
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.
Jephthah sade till dem: Jag och mitt folk hade en stor sak med Ammons barn; och jag kallade på eder, men I hulpen mig intet utu deras händer.
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?
Då jag nu såg, att ingen frälsare på färde var, satte jag mina själ i mina hand, och drog åstad emot Ammons barn, och Herren gaf dem i mina hand. Hvi kommen I nu hitupp till mig, till att strida emot mig?
4 Then Jephthah got together all the men of Gilead and made war on Ephraim; and the men of Gilead overcame Ephraim.
Och Jephthah församlade alla män i Gilead, och stridde emot Ephraim; och de män i Gilead slogo Ephraim, derföre, att de sade: Ären I dock, I Gileaditer, ibland Ephraim och Manasse, såsom de der af Ephraim beskyddas måste?
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;
Och de Gileaditer togo in Jordans färjostad för Ephraim. När de nu sade: Vi äre ock de beskyddade af Ephraim, låt mig fara öfver; så sade de män af Gilead till honom: Äst du en Ephrait? När han nu svarade nej,
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.
Så bådo de honom säga Schibboleth; så sade han Sibboleth, och kunde icke rätt säga det ut. Så togo de honom fatt, och dråpo honom vid färjostaden åt Jordan; så att på den tiden föllo af Ephraim tu och fyratio tusend.
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.
Och Jephthah dömde Israel i sex år. Och Jephthah den Gileaditen blef död, och vardt begrafven i de städer i Gilead.
8 And after him, Ibzan of Beth-lehem was judge of Israel.
Efter dessom dömde Ibzan af BethLehem Israel.
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.
Han hade tretio söner, och tretio döttrar gifte han ut, och tretio döttrar tog han utanefter till sina söner; och dömde Israel i sju år;
10 And Ibzan came to his death and his body was put to rest at Beth-lehem.
Och blef död, och blef begrafven i BethLehem.
11 And after him, Elon the Zebulonite was judge of Israel; and he was judge of Israel for ten years.
Efter dessom dömde Israel Elon, en Sebulonit, och dömde Israel i tio år;
12 And Elon the Zebulonite came to his death, and his body was put to rest in Aijalon in the land of Zebulun.
Och blef död, och vardt begrafven i Ajalon, uti Sebulons land.
13 And after him, Abdon, the son of Hillel, the Pirathonite, was judge of Israel.
Efter dessom dömde Israel Abdon, Hillels son, en Pirgathonit.
14 He had forty sons and thirty sons' sons who went on seventy young asses; and he was judge of Israel for eight years.
Han hade fyratio söner, och tretio sonasöner, som på sjutio åsnafålar redo. Han dömde Israel i åtta år;
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.
Och blef död, och vardt begrafven i Pirgathon uti Ephraims lande, på de Amalekiters berg.
