Judges 12

1 And behold, a sedition rose up in Ephraim. Then, while passing by toward the north, they said to Jephthah: “When you were going to fight against the sons of Ammon, why were you unwilling to summon us, so that we might go with you? Therefore, we will burn down your house.”

Shromáždili se pak muži Efraim, a přešedše k straně půlnoční, řekli k Jefte: Proč jsi vyšel k boji proti Ammonitským, a nepovolal jsi nás, abychom šli s tebou? Dům tvůj i tebe ohněm spálíme.

2 And he answered them: “I and my people were in a great conflict against the sons of Ammon. And I called you, so that you might offer assistance to me. And you were not willing to do so.

K nimž řekl Jefte: Nesnáz jsem měl já a lid můj s Ammonitskými velikou; tedy povolal jsem vás, ale nevysvobodili jste mne z ruky jejich.

3 And discerning this, I put my life in my own hands, and I crossed to the sons of Ammon, and the Lord delivered them into my hands. What am I guilty of, that you would rise up in battle against me?”

Protož vida, že jste mne nevysvobodili, odvážil jsem se života svého, a táhl jsem proti Ammonitským, i dal je Hospodin v ruku mou. Ale proč jste dnes přišli ke mně? Zdali abyste bojovali proti mně?

4 And so, calling to himself all the men of Gilead, he fought against Ephraim. And the men of Gilead struck down Ephraim, because he had said, “Gilead is a fugitive from Ephraim, and he lives in the midst of Ephraim and Manasseh.”

Tedy shromáždil Jefte všecky muže Galádské, a bojoval s Efraimem. I porazili muži Galád Efraimské, nebo pravili poběhlci Efraimští: Vy Galádští jste u prostřed Efraima a u prostřed Manassesa.

5 And the Gileadites occupied the fords of the Jordan, along which Ephraim was to return. And when anyone from the number of Ephraim had arrived, fleeing, and had said, “I beg that you permit me to pass,” the Gileadites would say to him, “Could you be an Ephraimite?” And if he said, “I am not,”

Odjali Galádští též i brody Jordánské Efraimským. A bylo, že když kdo z utíkajících Efraimských řekl: Nechať přejdu, řekli jemu muži Galádští: Jsi-li Efratejský? Jestliže řekl: Nejsem,

6 they would ask him, then say ‘Shibboleth,’ which is translated as ‘ear of grain.’ But he would answer ‘Sibboleth,’ not being able to express the word for an ear of grain in the same letters. And immediately apprehending him, they would cut his throat, at the same crossing point of the Jordan. And in that time of Ephraim, forty-two thousand fell.

Tedy řekli jemu: Rci hned Šibolet. I řekl: Sibolet, aniž dobře mohl vyřknouti toho. Tedy pochytíce jej, zamordovali ho u brodu Jordánského. I padlo toho času z Efraima čtyřidceti a dva tisíce.

7 And so Jephthah, the Gileadite, judged Israel for six years. And he died, and he was buried in his city in Gilead.

Soudil pak Jefte Izraele šest let; a umřel Jefte Galádský, a pochován jest v jednom z měst Galádských.

8 After him, Ibzan of Bethlehem judged Israel.

Potom soudil po něm Izraele Abesam z Betléma.

9 He had thirty sons, and the same number of daughters, whom he sent away to be given to husbands. And he accepted wives for his sons of the same number, bringing them into his house. And he judged Israel for seven years.

A měl třidceti synů a třidceti dcer, kteréž rozevdal od sebe, a třidceti žen přivedl od jinud synům svým. I soudil Izraele sedm let.

10 And he died, and he was buried in Bethlehem.

A umřev Abesam, pochován jest v Betlémě.

11 After him succeeded Elon, a Zebulunite. And he judged Israel for ten years.

Po něm pak soudil Izraele Elon Zabulonský; ten soudil Izraele deset let.

12 And he died, and he was buried in Zebulun.

I umřel Elon Zabulonský, a pochován jest v Aialon, v zemi Zabulon.

13 After him, Abdon, the son of Hillel, a Pirathonite, judged Israel.

Potom soudil Izraele Abdon syn Hellelův Faratonský.

14 And he had forty sons, and from them thirty grandsons, all riding upon seventy young donkeys. And he judged Israel for eight years.

Ten měl čtyřidceti synů a třidceti vnuků, kteříž jezdili na sedmdesáti mezcích; i soudil Izraele osm let.

15 And he died, and he was buried at Pirathon, in the land of Ephraim, on the mountain of Amalek.

Umřev pak Abdon syn Hellelův Faratonský, pohřben jest v Faraton, v zemi Efraim na hoře Amalechitské.
