Judges 12
1 And the men of Ephraim are called together, and pass over northward, and say to Jephthah, “Why have you passed over to fight against the sons of Ammon, and have not called on us to go with you? We burn your house with fire over you.”
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 says to them, “I have been a man of great strife (I and my people) with the sons of Ammon, and I call you, and you have not saved me out of their hand,
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 I see that you are not a savior, and I put my life in my hand, and pass over to the sons of Ammon, and YHWH gives them into my hand—and why have you come up to 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 And Jephthah gathered all the men of Gilead, and fights with Ephraim, and the men of Gilead strike Ephraim, because they said, “You Gileadites [are] fugitives of Ephraim, in the midst of Ephraim—in the midst of Manasseh.”
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 Gilead captures the passages of the Jordan to Ephraim, and it has been, when [any of] the fugitives of Ephraim say, “Let me pass over,” and the men of Gilead say to him, “[Are] you an Ephraimite?” And he says, “No”;
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 that they say to him, “Now say, Shibboleth”; and he says, “Sibboleth,” and is not prepared to speak right—and they seize him, and slaughter him at the passages of the Jordan, and there fall at that time, of Ephraim, forty-two chiefs.
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 [for] six years, and Jephthah the Gileadite dies, and is 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 judges Israel,
E depois d'elle julgou a Israel Ebsan de Beth-lehem.
9 and he has thirty sons, and thirty daughters he gave away [in marriage], and thirty daughters he brought in from outside for his sons; and he judges Israel [for] 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 And Ibzan dies, and is buried in Beth-Lehem.
Então falleceu Ebsan, e foi sepultado em Beth-lehem.
11 And after him Elon the Zebulunite judges Israel, and he judges Israel [for] ten years,
E depois d'elle julgou a Israel Elon, o zebulonita: e julgou a Israel dez annos.
12 and Elon the Zebulunite dies, and is buried in Aijalon, in the land of Zebulun.
E falleceu Elon, o zebulonita, e foi sepultado em Ayalon, na terra de Zebulon.
13 And after him, Abdon son of Hillel, the Pirathonite, judges Israel,
E depois d'elle julgou a Israel Abdon, filho d'Hillel, o pirhathonita.
14 and he has forty sons, and thirty grandsons, riding on seventy donkey-colts, and he judges Israel [for] 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 son of Hillel, the Pirathonite, dies, and is buried in Pirathon, in the land of Ephraim, in the hill-country of the Amalekite.
Então falleceu Abdon, filho d'Hillel, o pirathonita: e foi sepultado em Pirathon, na terra de Ephraim, no monte do amalekita.
