< Judges 12 >
1 And the men of Ephraim gathered themselves together, and went northward, and said unto Jephthah, Wherefore passedst thou over to fight against the children of Ammon, and didst not call us to go with thee? we will burn thine house upon thee with fire.
Então se convocaram os homens d'Ephraim, e passaram para o norte, e disseram a Jefthe: Porque passaste a combater contra os filhos d'Ammon, e não nos chamaste para ir comtigo? queimaremos a fogo a tua casa comtigo.
2 And Jephthah said unto them, I and my people were at great strife with the children of Ammon; and when I called you, ye delivered me not out of their hands.
E Jefthe lhes disse: Eu e o meu povo tivemos grande contenda com os filhos d'Ammon: e chamei-vos, e não me livrastes da sua mão;
3 And when I saw that ye delivered [me] not, I put my life in my hands, and passed over against the children of Ammon, and the LORD delivered them into my hand: wherefore then are ye come up unto me this day, to fight against me?
E, vendo eu que me não livraveis, puz a minha alma na minha mão, e passei aos filhos de Ammon, e o Senhor m'os entregou nas mãos: porque pois subistes vós hoje contra mim, para combater contra mim
4 Then Jephthah gathered together all the men of Gilead, and fought with Ephraim: and the men of Gilead smote Ephraim, because they said, Ye Gileadites [are] fugitives of Ephraim among the Ephraimites, [and] among the Manassites.
E ajuntou Jefthe a todos os homens de Gilead, e combateu com Ephraim: e os homens de Gilead feriram a Ephraim; porque, estando os gileaditas entre Ephraim e Manasseh, disseram: Fugitivos sois d'Ephraim.
5 And the Gileadites took the passages of Jordan before the Ephraimites: and it was [so], that when those Ephraimites which were escaped said, Let me go over; that the men of Gilead said unto him, [Art] thou an Ephraimite? If he said, Nay;
Porque tomaram os gileaditas aos ephraimitas os váos do Jordão: e succedeu que, quando os fugitivos d'Ephraim diziam: Passarei; então os homens de Gilead lhes diziam: Es tu ephratita? E dizendo elle: Não;
6 Then said they unto him, Say now Shibboleth: and he said Sibboleth: for he could not frame to pronounce [it] right. Then they took him, and slew him at the passages of Jordan: and there fell at that time of the Ephraimites forty and two thousand.
Então lhe diziam: Dize pois, Shibboleth; porém elle dizia: Sibboleth, porque o não podia pronunciar assim bem: então pegavam d'elle, e o degolavam aos váos do Jordão: e cairam de Ephraim n'aquelle tempo quarenta e dois mil.
7 And Jephthah judged Israel six years. Then died Jephthah the Gileadite, and was buried in [one of] the cities of Gilead.
E Jefthe julgou a Israel seis annos: e Jefthe, o gileadita, falleceu, e foi sepultado nas cidades de Gilead.
8 And after him Ibzan of Beth-lehem judged Israel.
E depois d'elle julgou a Israel Ebsan de Beth-lehem.
9 And he had thirty sons, and thirty daughters, [whom] he sent abroad, and took in thirty daughters from abroad for his sons. And he judged Israel seven years.
E tinha este trinta filhos; e enviou fóra a trinta filhas; e trinta filhas trouxe de fóra para seus filhos: e julgou a Israel sete annos.
10 Then died Ibzan, and was buried at Beth-lehem.
Então falleceu Ebsan, e foi sepultado em Beth-lehem.
11 And after him Elon, a Zebulonite, judged Israel; and he judged Israel ten years.
E depois d'elle julgou a Israel Elon, o zebulonita: e julgou a Israel dez annos.
12 And Elon the Zebulonite died, and was buried in Aijalon in the country of Zebulun.
E falleceu Elon, o zebulonita, e foi sepultado em Ayalon, na terra de Zebulon.
13 And after him Abdon the son of Hillel, a Pirathonite, judged Israel.
E depois d'elle julgou a Israel Abdon, filho d'Hillel, o pirhathonita.
14 And he had forty sons and thirty nephews, that rode on threescore and ten ass colts: and he judged Israel eight years.
E tinha este quarenta filhos, e trinta filhos de filhos, que cavalgavam sobre setenta jumentos: e julgou a Israel oito annos.
15 And Abdon the son of Hillel the Pirathonite died, and was buried in Pirathon in the land of Ephraim, in the mount of the Amalekites.
Então falleceu Abdon, filho d'Hillel, o pirathonita: e foi sepultado em Pirathon, na terra de Ephraim, no monte do amalekita.
