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!”
Os homens de Efraim foram reunidos e passaram para o norte; e disseram a Jefté: “Por que você passou para lutar contra as crianças de Ammon, e não nos chamou para irmos com você? Vamos queimar sua casa ao seu redor com fogo”!
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.
Jefthah disse a eles: “Eu e meu povo estávamos em grande contenda com os filhos de Ammon; e quando os chamei, vocês não me salvaram da mão deles.
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?”
Quando vi que você não me salvou, coloquei minha vida na mão e passei contra as crianças de Ammon, e Yahweh as entregou em minhas mãos. Por que então vocês vieram até mim hoje, para lutar contra mim”?
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.”
Então Jephthah reuniu todos os homens de Gilead, e lutou com Efraim. Os homens de Gilead atingiram Efraim, porque disseram: “Vocês são fugitivos de Efraim, seus gileaditas, no meio de Efraim, e no meio de Manasseh”.
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,”
Os gileaditas tomaram os vaus do Jordão contra os efraimitas. Sempre que um fugitivo de Efraim dizia: “Deixe-me ir”, os homens de Gilead lhe diziam: “Você é um efraimita? Se ele disse, “Não;”
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.
então eles lhe disseram, “Agora diga 'Shibboleth;'” e ele disse “Sibboleth”; pois ele não conseguiu pronunciá-lo corretamente, então eles o apreenderam e o mataram nos vaus do Jordão. Naquele momento, quarenta e dois mil de Efraim caíram.
7 Jephthah led Israel as judge for six years. Then he died and was buried in one of Gilead's towns.
Jephthah julgou Israel por seis anos. Depois Jefté, o Gileadita, morreu e foi enterrado nas cidades de Gilead.
8 After Jephthah, Ibzan of Bethlehem led Israel as a judge.
Depois dele, Ibzan de Belém julgou Israel.
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.
Ele teve trinta filhos. Ele enviou suas trinta filhas de fora de seu clã e trouxe trinta filhas de fora de seu clã para seus filhos. Ele julgou Israel por sete anos.
10 Then Ibzan died and was buried in Bethlehem.
Ibzan morreu, e foi enterrado em Belém.
11 After him, Elon the Zebulunite led Israel as judge for ten years.
Depois dele, Elon, o zebulunita, julgou Israel; e ele julgou Israel dez anos.
12 Then he died and was buried at Aijalon in the territory of Zebulun.
Elon o zebulunita morreu, e foi enterrado em Aijalon, na terra de Zebulun.
13 After him, Abdon, son of Hillel, from Pirathon, led Israel as judge.
Depois dele, Abdon, filho de Hillel, o Piratonita, julgou Israel.
14 He had forty sons and thirty grandsons, who rode seventy donkeys. He led Israel as judge for eight years.
Ele tinha quarenta filhos e trinta filhos de filhos que montavam em setenta jumentos de burros. Ele julgou Israel por oito anos.
15 Then he died and was buried at Pirathon in the territory of Ephraim, in the hill country of the Amalekites.
