Judges 12
1 And the men of Ephraim assembled [themselves], and passed on to the north, and said to Jephthae, Therefore did you go over to fight with the children of Ammon, and did not call us to go with you? we will burn your house over you with fire.
Uto se skupiše ljudi od Efrajimova plemena, prijeđoše Jordan put Safona i rekoše Jiftahu. “Zašto si išao u boj protiv Amonaca a nas nisi pozvao da idemo s tobom? Spalit ćemo ti kuću i tebe!”
2 And Jephthae said to them, I and my people and the children of Ammon were very much engaged in war; and I called for you, and you did not save me out of their hand.
Jiftah im odgovori: “Imali smo veliku parbu, ja i moj narod, i Amonci su nas teško tlačili. Pozvao sam vas u pomoć, ali me niste izbavili iz njihovih ruku.
3 And I saw that you were no helper, and I put my life in my hand, and passed on to the sons of Ammon; and the Lord delivered them into my hand: and therefore are you come up against me this day to fight with me?
Videći da mi nitko ne pritječe u pomoć, stavih svoj život na kocku, odoh sam na Amonce, i Jahve mi ih predade u ruke. Zašto ste, dakle, pošli danas da ratujete protiv mene?”
4 And Jephthae gathered all the men of Galaad, and fought with Ephraim; and the men of Galaad struck Ephraim, because they that were escaped of Ephraim said, You [are] of Galaad in the midst of Ephraim and in the midst of Manasse.
Tada skupi Jiftah sve Gileađane i udari na Efrajima. Gileađani potukoše Efrajima, jer su ovi govorili: “Vi ste, Gileađani, Efrajimovi bjegunci koji ste živjeli usred Efrajima i Manašea.”
5 And Galaad took the fords of Jordan before Ephraim; and they that escaped of Ephraim said to them, Let us go over: and the men of Galaad said, Are you an Ephrathite? and he said, No.
Zatim Gileađani presjekoše Efrajimu jordanske gazove, i kada bi koji bjegunac Efrajimov rekao: “Pustite me da prijeđem”, Gileađani bi ga pitali: “Jesi li Efrajimovac?” A kada bi on odgovorio: “Nisam”,
6 Then they said to him, Say now Stachys; and he did not rightly pronounce it so: and they took him, and killed him at the fords of Jordan; and there fell at that time of Ephraim two and forty thousand.
oni bi mu kazali: “Hajde reci: Šibolet!” On bi rekao: “Sibolet” jer nije mogao dobro izgovoriti. Oni bi ga tada uhvatili i pogubili na jordanskim plićacima. Tako je poginulo četrdeset i dvije tisuće ljudi iz Efrajimova plemena.
7 And Jephthae judged Israel six years; and Jephthae the Galaadite died, and was buried in his city Galaad.
Jiftah je sudio Izraelu šest godina. A kada je Gileađanin Jiftah umro, pokopaše ga u njegovu gradu, u Gileadu.
8 And after him Abaissan of Bethleem judged Israel.
Poslije njega sudac u Izraelu bijaše Ibsan iz Betlehema.
9 And he had thirty sons, and thirty daughters, whom he sent forth; and he brought in thirty daughters for his sons from without; and he judged Israel seven years.
On je imao trideset sinova i trideset kćeri, koje je poudao iz kuće, a trideset je snaha doveo izvana svojim sinovima. On je sudio Izraelu sedam godina.
10 And Abaissan died, and was buried in Bethleem.
Zatim umrije Ibsan i pokopaše ga u Betlehemu.
11 And after him Aelom of Zabulon judged Israel ten years.
Poslije njega sudac u Izraelu bijaše Elon Zebulunac. On je sudio Izraelu deset godina.
12 And Aelom of Zabulon died, and was buried in Aelom in the land of Zabulon.
Zatim umrije Zebulunac Elon i pokopaše ga u Ajalonu u zemlji Zebulunovoj.
13 And after him Abdon the son of Ellel, the Pharathonite, judged Israel.
Poslije njega sudac u Izraelu bijaše Abdon, sin Hilela iz Pireatona.
14 And he had forty sons, and thirty grandsons, that rode upon seventy colts: and he judged Israel eight years.
On je imao četrdeset sinova i trideset unuka koji su jahali na sedamdesetero magaradi. On je sudio Izraelu osam godina.
15 And Abdon the son of Ellel, the Pharathonite, died, and was buried in Pharathon in the land of Ephraim in the mount of Amalec.
Zatim umrije Abdon, sin Hilela iz Pireatona, i pokopaše ga u Pireatonu u Efrajimovoj gori, u zemlji Šaalimu.
