Judges 12
1 And the men of Ephraim assembled [themselves], and passed on to the north, and said to Jephthae, Therefore did you go over to fight with the children of Ammon, and did not call us to go with you? we will burn your house over you with fire.
以法莲人聚集，到了北方，对耶弗他说：“你去与亚扪人争战，为什么没有招我们同去呢？我们必用火烧你和你的房屋。”
2 And Jephthae said to them, I and my people and the children of Ammon were very much engaged in war; and I called for you, and you did not save me out of their hand.
耶弗他对他们说：“我和我的民与亚扪人大大争战；我招你们来，你们竟没有来救我脱离他们的手。
3 And I saw that you were no helper, and I put my life in my hand, and passed on to the sons of Ammon; and the Lord delivered them into my hand: and therefore are you come up against me this day to fight with me?
我见你们不来救我，我就拚命前去攻击亚扪人，耶和华将他们交在我手中。你们今日为什么上我这里来攻打我呢？”
4 And Jephthae gathered all the men of Galaad, and fought with Ephraim; and the men of Galaad struck Ephraim, because they that were escaped of Ephraim said, You [are] of Galaad in the midst of Ephraim and in the midst of Manasse.
于是耶弗他招聚基列人，与以法莲人争战。基列人击杀以法莲人，是因他们说：“你们基列人在以法莲、玛拿西中间，不过是以法莲逃亡的人。”
5 And Galaad took the fords of Jordan before Ephraim; and they that escaped of Ephraim said to them, Let us go over: and the men of Galaad said, Are you an Ephrathite? and he said, No.
基列人把守约旦河的渡口，不容以法莲人过去。以法莲逃走的人若说：“容我过去。”基列人就问他说：“你是以法莲人不是？”他若说：“不是”，
6 Then they said to him, Say now Stachys; and he did not rightly pronounce it so: and they took him, and killed him at the fords of Jordan; and there fell at that time of Ephraim two and forty thousand.
就对他说：“你说‘示播列’。”以法莲人因为咬不真字音，便说“西播列”。基列人就将他拿住，杀在约旦河的渡口。那时以法莲人被杀的有四万二千人。
7 And Jephthae judged Israel six years; and Jephthae the Galaadite died, and was buried in his city Galaad.
耶弗他作以色列的士师六年。基列人耶弗他死了，葬在基列的一座城里。
8 And after him Abaissan of Bethleem judged Israel.
耶弗他以后，有伯利恒人以比赞作以色列的士师。
9 And he had thirty sons, and thirty daughters, whom he sent forth; and he brought in thirty daughters for his sons from without; and he judged Israel seven years.
他有三十个儿子，三十个女儿；女儿都嫁出去了。他给众子从外乡娶了三十个媳妇。他作以色列的士师七年。
10 And Abaissan died, and was buried in Bethleem.
以比赞死了，葬在伯利恒。
11 And after him Aelom of Zabulon judged Israel ten years.
以比赞之后，有西布伦人以伦，作以色列的士师十年。
12 And Aelom of Zabulon died, and was buried in Aelom in the land of Zabulon.
西布伦人以伦死了，葬在西布伦地的亚雅 。
13 And after him Abdon the son of Ellel, the Pharathonite, judged Israel.
以伦之后，有比拉顿人希列的儿子押顿作以色列的士师。
14 And he had forty sons, and thirty grandsons, that rode upon seventy colts: and he judged Israel eight years.
他有四十个儿子，三十个孙子，骑着七十匹驴驹。押顿作以色列的士师八年。
15 And Abdon the son of Ellel, the Pharathonite, died, and was buried in Pharathon in the land of Ephraim in the mount of Amalec.
比拉顿人希列的儿子押顿死了，葬在以法莲地的比拉顿，在亚玛力人的山地。
