Judges 12
1 And the men of Ephraim were called together, and went northward, and said unto Yiphthach, Wherefore didst thou pass over to fight against the children of 'Ammon, and didst not call for us to go with thee? thy house will we burn over thee with fire.
厄弗辣因人集合起來，過河到了匝豐，對依弗大說：「當你去攻打阿孟子民時，為什麼沒有召我們與你同去﹖我們要用火把你的房屋同你一起燒掉。」
2 And Yiphthach said unto them, I and my people were greatly engaged in strife with the children of 'Ammon; and I called you, but ye helped me not out of their hand.
依弗大回來他們說：「我與我的人民同阿孟子民激戰的時候，我曾向你們求救，但你們沒有來救我們脫離他們的手。
3 And when I saw that ye helped me not, I put my life in my hand, and passed over to the children of 'Ammon, and the Lord delivered them into my hand; and why then are ye come up unto me this day, to fight against me?
我見你們沒人來援助，我就拼命猛攻阿孟子民，上主遂將他們交在我手中；那麼，你們為什麼今天上來攻擊我﹖」
4 Then Yiphthach gathered together all the men of Gil'ad, and fought with Ephraim; and the men of Gil'ad smote Ephraim, because they said, Ye are fugitives of Ephraim: Gil'ad is in the midst, between Ephraim and Menasseh.
於是依弗大召集基肋阿得所有的人同厄弗辣因作戰；基肋阿得人擊潰了厄弗辣因人。﹝因為厄弗辣因人曾說過：你基肋阿得人是從厄弗辣因跑出來的，散居在厄弗辣因人中，在默納協人中。﹞
5 And the Gil'adites seized on the passages of the Jordan before the Ephraimites: and it came to pass, when the Ephraimites who had escaped said, Let me pass over; that the men of Gil'ad said unto him, Art thou an Ephrathite? and if he said, No;
基肋阿得人為了反擊厄弗辣因人，先佔據了約但河渡口；逃跑的厄弗辣因人說：「容我過去罷! 」基肋阿得人就問：「你是厄弗辣因人嗎﹖」如果說：「不是。」
6 Then said they unto him, Do say, Shibboleth; but when he said, Sibboleth, and was not able to pronounce it correctly, they laid hold of him and slew him on the passages of the Jordan; and there fell at that time of the Ephraimites forty and two thousand.
基肋阿得人就對他說：「你說『史波肋特! 』」如果他不能照樣說出，而說成「新波肋特，」就捉住他，在約但渡口殺了；在這種情形下，厄弗辣因人就死了四萬二千。
7 And Yiphthach judged Israel six years; and then died Yiphthach the Gil'adite, and was buried in [one of] the cities of Gil'ad.
依弗大作以色列的民長共計六年；以後基肋阿得人依弗大死了，埋葬在基肋阿得本城。依貝贊民長
8 And after him there judged Israel Ibzan of Beth-lechem.
在他以後，有貝特肋恒人依貝贊作以色列民長。
9 And he had thirty sons; and thirty daughters he sent abroad, and thirty daughters he brought in for his sons from abroad: and he judged Israel seven years.
他有三十個兒子，從外鄉娶了三十房媳婦。他作以色列民長七年。
10 Then died Ibzan, and was buried at Beth-lechem.
依貝贊死後，葬在貝特肋恒。厄隆民長
11 And after him there judged Israel Elon the Zebulonite; and he judged Israel ten years.
在他以後，有則步隆人厄隆作以色列民長，他作以色列民長十年。
12 Then died Elon the Zebulonite, and was buried in Ayalon in the country of Zebulun.
則步隆人厄隆死後，埋葬在則步隆的阿雅隆。阿貝冬民長
13 And after him there judged Israel 'Abdon the son of Hillel the Pir'athonite.
在他以後，有丕辣通人希肋耳的兒子阿貝冬作以色列民長。
14 And he had forty sons and thirty grandsons, that rode on seventy ass-colts; and he judged Israel eight years.
他有四十個兒子，三十個孫子，騎著七十匹驢駒。他作以色列民長八年。
15 Then died 'Abdon the son of Hillel the Pir'athonite, and was buried in Pir'athon in the land of Ephraim, in the mountain of the 'Amalekites.
丕辣通人希肋耳的兒子阿貝冬死後，埋葬在厄弗辣因的丕通，即在阿瑪肋克山地內。
