Judges 12
1 The men of Ephraim were gathered together, and passed northward; and they said to Jephthah, "Why did you pass over to fight against the people of Ammon, and did not call us to go with you? We will burn your house on 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 Jephthah said to them, "I and my people had a dispute, and the people of Ammon were oppressing me greatly; and when I called you, 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 When I saw that you did not save me, I put my life in my own hands, and passed over against the people of Ammon, and the LORD delivered them into my hand. Why then have you come up to me this day, to fight against 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 Then Jephthah gathered together all the men of Gilead, and fought with Ephraim; and the men of Gilead struck Ephraim, because they said, "You are fugitives of Ephraim, you Gileadites, in the midst of Ephraim, and in the midst of Manasseh."
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 The Gileadites took the fords of the Jordan against the Ephraimites. It was so, that when any of the fugitives of Ephraim said, "Let me go over," the men of Gilead said to him, "Are you an Ephraimite?" If 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, "Now say 'Shibboleth;'" and he said "Sibboleth"; for he couldn't manage to pronounce it right: then they seized him, and killed him at the fords of the Jordan. There fell at that time of Ephraim forty-two 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 Jephthah judged Israel six years. Then Jephthah the Gileadite died, and was buried in his city in Gilead.
Jiftah je sudio Izraelu šest godina. A kada je Gileađanin Jiftah umro, pokopaše ga u njegovu gradu, u Gileadu.
8 After him Ibzan of Bethlehem judged Israel.
Poslije njega sudac u Izraelu bijaše Ibsan iz Betlehema.
9 He had thirty sons; and thirty daughters he sent abroad, and thirty daughters he brought in from abroad for his sons. 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 Ibzan died, and was buried at Bethlehem.
Zatim umrije Ibsan i pokopaše ga u Betlehemu.
11 After him Elon the Zebulunite judged Israel; and he judged Israel ten years.
Poslije njega sudac u Izraelu bijaše Elon Zebulunac. On je sudio Izraelu deset godina.
12 Elon the Zebulunite died, and was buried in Aijalon in the land of Zebulun.
Zatim umrije Zebulunac Elon i pokopaše ga u Ajalonu u zemlji Zebulunovoj.
13 After him Abdon the son of Hillel the Pirathonite judged Israel.
Poslije njega sudac u Izraelu bijaše Abdon, sin Hilela iz Pireatona.
14 He had forty sons and thirty grandsons who rode on seventy donkey 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 Abdon the son of Hillel the Pirathonite died, and was buried in Pirathon in the land of Ephraim, in the hill country of the Amalekites.
Zatim umrije Abdon, sin Hilela iz Pireatona, i pokopaše ga u Pireatonu u Efrajimovoj gori, u zemlji Šaalimu.
