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.
Efraimitarne baud ut mannskapet sitt, og for nordetter, og sagde til Jefta: «Kvi sende du’kje bod etter oss då du for av stad og vilde strida mot ammonitarne? No vil me setja eld på husi dine og brenna deg inne.»
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.
«Eg og folket mitt låg i ein hard strid med ammonitarne, svara Jefta; «då ropa eg på dykk, men de hjelpte meg ikkje imot deim;
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?
og då eg såg at de ikkje vilde hjelpa, våga eg livet, og for imot ammonitarne, og Herren gav deim i henderne mine. Kvi kjem de so no farande og vil slåst med meg?»
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.
So samla han alle Gileads-mennerne, og stridde mot Efraim. Og Gileads-mennerne hogg efraimitarne ned, for di dei hadde sagt: De er rømingar frå Efraim! Gilead ligg midt i Efraim, midt i Manasse.»
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;
Dei stengde vadi yver Jordan for efraimitarne, og kvar gong det kom ein efraimit som hadde rømt ifrå slaget og vilde sleppa yver, spurde dei: «Er du efraimit?» Han svara: «Nei.»
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.
«Seg: sjibbolet!» sagde dei. Då sagde han: «Sibbolet; » for han kunde ikkje segja det rett. So greip dei honom, og drap honom innmed vadet. Den gongen fall det tvo og fyrti tusund mann av Efraims-ætti.
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.
Jefta styrde Israel i seks år. So døydde Jefta frå Gilead, og vart gravlagd i ein av Gileads-byarne.
8 And after him there judged Israel Ibzan of Beth-lechem.
Etter honom var Ibsan frå Betlehem styrar i Israel.
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.
Han hadde tretti søner; tretti døtter gifte han burt, og tretti sonekonor henta han heim; han styrde Israel i sju år.
10 Then died Ibzan, and was buried at Beth-lechem.
So døydde Ibsan, og vart gravlagd i Betlehem.
11 And after him there judged Israel Elon the Zebulonite; and he judged Israel ten years.
Etter honom var Elon av Sebulons-ætti styrar i Israel. Han styrde Israel i ti år.
12 Then died Elon the Zebulonite, and was buried in Ayalon in the country of Zebulun.
So døydde Elon av Sebulons-ætti, og vart gravlagd i Ajjalon i Sebulonslandet.
13 And after him there judged Israel 'Abdon the son of Hillel the Pir'athonite.
Etter honom var Abdon Hillelsson frå Piraton styrrar i Israel.
14 And he had forty sons and thirty grandsons, that rode on seventy ass-colts; and he judged Israel eight years.
Han hadde fyrti søner og tretti sonesøner; dei reid på sytti asenfolar. Han styrde Israel i åtte år.
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.
So døydde Abdon Hillelsson frå Piraton, og vart gravlagd i Piraton i Efraimsland, på Amaleksfjell.
