Judges 12
1 Then the Ephraimites were called up and crossed the Jordan to Zaphon. They said to Jephthah, “Why did you go and fight the Ammonites without summoning us to go with you? We're going to burn your house down with you inside it!”
エフライムの人々つどひて北にゆきヱフタにいひけるは汝何故に往きてアンモンの子孫と戰ひながらわれらをまねきて汝とともに行せざりしや我ら火をもて汝の家を汝とともに焚くべしと
2 “I was a man with a great fight on my hands,” Jephthah replied. “I and my people were fighting the Ammonites. When I called on you for help, you didn't come and help save me from them.
ヱフタ之にいひけるは我とわが民の曾てアンモンの子孫と大に爭ひしときに我汝らをよびしに汝らかれらの手より我を救ふことをせざりき
3 When I realized that you weren't going to help, I took my life in my hands and went to fight the Ammonites, and the Lord made me victorious over them. So why have you come here today to attack me?”
我汝らが我を救はざるを見たればわが命をかけてアンモンの子孫の所に攻ゆきしにヱホバかれらを我が手に付したまへり然ば汝らなんぞ今日我が許に上り來りて我とたたかはんとするやと
4 Jephthah summoned all of the men of Gilead and fought against the Ephraimites. The men of Gilead killed them because the Ephraimites taunted them, saying, “You Gileadites are nothing more than escapees living among Ephraim and Manasseh.”
ヱフタここにおいてギレアデの人をことごとくつどへてエフライムとたたかひしがギレアデの人々エフライムを撃破れり是はエフライム汝らギレアデ人はエフライムの逃亡者にしてエフライムとマナセの中にをるなりと言しに由る
5 The Gileadites took control of the fords over the Jordan River that led to Ephraim's territory, and when an Ephraimite escapee from the battle would come and ask, “Let me cross over,” the Gileadites would question him, “Are you an Ephraimite?” If he answered, “No,”
而してギレアデ人エフライムにおもむくところのヨルダンの津をとりきりしがエフライム人の逃れ來る者ありて我を渡らせよといへばギレアデの人之に汝はエフライム人なるかと問ひ彼もし然らずと言ときは
6 they would tell him, “Say Shibboleth.” If he was from Ephraim he would say “Sibboleth” because he couldn't pronounce it right, and they'd grab him and kill him there at the Jordan fords. A total of 42,000 were killed at that time.
また之に請ふシボレテといへといふに彼その音を正しくいひ得ずしてセボレテと言ばすなはち之を引捕へてヨルダンの津に屠せりその時にエフライム人のたふれし者四萬二千人なりき
7 Jephthah led Israel as judge for six years. Then he died and was buried in one of Gilead's towns.
ヱフタ六年のあひだイスラエルを審きたりギレアデ人ヱフタつひに死てギレアデのある邑に葬むらる
8 After Jephthah, Ibzan of Bethlehem led Israel as a judge.
彼の後にベテレヘムのイブザン、イスラエルを審きたり
9 He had thirty sons and thirty daughters. He married off his daughters to men of other tribes, and he brought in thirty wives from other tribes to marry his sons. Ibzan led Israel as judge for seven years.
彼に三十人の男子ありまた三十人の女子ありしがこれをば外に嫁がしめてその子息等のために三十人の女を外より娶れり彼七年のあひだイスラエルを審きたり
10 Then Ibzan died and was buried in Bethlehem.
イブザンつひに死てベテレヘムに葬むらる
11 After him, Elon the Zebulunite led Israel as judge for ten years.
彼の後にゼブルン人エロン、イスラエルを審きたりゼブルン人エロン十年のあひだイスラエルを審きたり
12 Then he died and was buried at Aijalon in the territory of Zebulun.
ゼブルン人エロンつひに死てゼブルンの地のアヤロンに葬むらる
13 After him, Abdon, son of Hillel, from Pirathon, led Israel as judge.
彼の後にピラトン人ヒレルの子アブドン、イスラエルを審きたり
14 He had forty sons and thirty grandsons, who rode seventy donkeys. He led Israel as judge for eight years.
彼に四十人の男子および三十人の孫ありて七十の驢馬に乗る彼八年のあひだイスラエルを審けり
15 Then he died and was buried at Pirathon in the territory of Ephraim, in the hill country of the Amalekites.
ピラトン人ヒレルの子アブドンつひに死てエフライムの地のピラトンに葬むらる是はアマレク人の山にあり
