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 de Ephraim, e passaram para o norte, e disseram a Jefthe: Porque passaste a combater contra os filhos de Ammon, e não nos chamaste para ir contigo? queimaremos a fogo a tua casa contigo.
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 de 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, pus a minha alma na minha mão, e passei aos filhos de Ammon, e o Senhor mos 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 de 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 vaus do Jordão: e sucedeu que, quando os fugitivos de Ephraim diziam: Passarei; então os homens de Gilead lhes diziam: és tu ephratita? E dizendo ele: 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 ele dizia: Sibboleth, porque o não podia pronunciar assim bem: então pegavam dele, e o degolavam aos vaus do Jordão: e cairam de Ephraim naquele 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 anos: e Jefthe, o gileadita, faleceu, e foi sepultado nas cidades de Gilead.
8 And after him Ibzan of Beth-lehem judged Israel.
E depois dele 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 fora a trinta filhas; e trinta filhas trouxe de fora para seus filhos: e julgou a Israel sete anos.
10 Then died Ibzan, and was buried at Beth-lehem.
Então faleceu Ebsan, e foi sepultado em Beth-lehem.
11 And after him Elon, a Zebulonite, judged Israel; and he judged Israel ten years.
E depois dele julgou a Israel Elon, o zebulonita: e julgou a Israel dez anos.
12 And Elon the Zebulonite died, and was buried in Aijalon in the country of Zebulun.
E faleceu 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 dele julgou a Israel Abdon, filho de Hillel, o pirathonita.
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 anos.
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 faleceu Abdon, filho de Hillel, o pirathonita: e foi sepultado em Pirathon, na terra de Ephraim, no monte do amalekita.
