< 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.”
Možje iz Efrájima so se zbrali skupaj in odšli proti severu in rekli Jefteju: »Zakaj prehajaš preko, da se boriš zoper Amónove otroke, nas pa nisi poklical, da gremo s teboj? Nad teboj bomo tvojo hišo požgali z ognjem.«
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,
Jefte jim je rekel: »Jaz in moje ljudstvo smo bili v velikem boju z Amónovimi otroki in ko sem vas poklical, me niste osvobodili iz njihovih rok.
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?”
Ko sem videl, da me niste osvobodili, sem svoje življenje vzel v svoje roke in šel preko, proti Amónovim otrokom in Gospod jih je izročil v mojo roko. Zakaj ste torej vi ta dan prišli gor do mene, da se borite zoper mene?«
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.”
Potem je Jefte zbral skupaj vse gileádske može in se bojeval z Efrájimom in gileádski možje so udarili Efrájim, ker so rekli: »Vi Gileádčani ste ubežniki iz Efrájima med Efrájimci in Manásejci.«
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”;
Gileádčani so pred Efrájimci zavzeli jordanske prehode. In bilo je tako, da ko so tisti Efrájimci, ki so pobegnili, rekli: »Naj grem preko, « da so mu gileádski možje rekli: » Ali si Efrájimec?« Če je rekel: »Ne, «
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.
potem so mu rekli: »Reci sedaj Šibólet« in je rekel »Sibólet, « kajti tega ni mogel pravilno naglasiti. Potem so ga prijeli in usmrtil pri jordanskih prehodih in tam jih je ob tistem času izmed Efrájimcev padlo dvainštirideset tisoč.
7 And Jephthah judged Israel [for] six years, and Jephthah the Gileadite dies, and is buried in [one of] the cities of Gilead.
Jefte je Izraelu sodil šest let. Potem je Gileádčan Jefte umrl in bil pokopan v enem izmed mest Gileáda.
8 And after him Ibzan of Beth-Lehem judges Israel,
Za njim je Izraelu sodil Ibcán iz Betlehema.
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.
Ta je imel trideset sinov in trideset hčera, ki jih je poslal naokrog in za svoje sinove je vzel trideset hčera od drugod. Izraelu je sodil sedem let.
10 And Ibzan dies, and is buried in Beth-Lehem.
Potem je Ibcán umrl in je bil pokopan pri Betlehemu.
11 And after him Elon the Zebulunite judges Israel, and he judges Israel [for] ten years,
Za njim je Izraelu sodil Zábulonec Elón. Izraelu je sodil deset let.
12 and Elon the Zebulunite dies, and is buried in Aijalon, in the land of Zebulun.
Zábulonec Elón je umrl in je bil pokopan v Ajalónu, v deželi Zábulon.
13 And after him, Abdon son of Hillel, the Pirathonite, judges Israel,
Za njim je Izraelu sodil Abdón, sin Piratónca Hiléla.
14 and he has forty sons, and thirty grandsons, riding on seventy donkey-colts, and he judges Israel [for] eight years.
Ta je imel štirideset sinov in trideset nečakov, ki so jahali na sedemdesetih osličjih žrebetih. Izraelu je sodil osem let.
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.
Abdón, sin Piratónca Hiléla, je umrl in je bil pokopan v Piratónu, v deželi Efrájim, na gori Amalečanov.
