< Judges 12 >

1 The men of the tribe of Ephraim summoned their soldiers, and they crossed [the Jordan River] to [the town of] Zaphon [to talk with] Jephthah. They said to him, “(Why did you not ask us for help?/You should have requested us) to help your army fight the Ammon people-group. So we will burn down your house while you are in it.”
Efrayimlilər yığılaraq Safona gedib İftaha dedilər: «Sən nəyə görə Ammon övladları ilə döyüşə çıxıb bizi özünlə getməyə çağırmadın? Buna görə biz səni də, evini də yandıracağıq».
2 Jephthah replied, “The Ammon people-group were oppressing us greatly. When we were prepared to start to attack them, I requested you to come and help us, but you refused. My men and I defeated the Ammon people-group, but you did not help us.
İftah onlara dedi: «Mən və xalqım Ammon övladları ilə ağır döyüşdə olan vaxt sizi köməyə çağırdım, lakin siz gəlib məni onların əlindən qurtarmadınız.
3 When I saw that you would not help us, I was willing to be killed in the battle against the Ammon people-group. But Yahweh helped us to defeat them. [You did not help us when we requested it before], so (why have you come here today to fight against me?/you should not have come here today to fight against me.)” [RHQ]
Mən də gördüm ki, siz məni qurtarmırsınız, onda həyatımı təhlükəyə atıb Ammon övladlarına qarşı özüm hücuma keçdim və Rəbb onları mənə təslim etdi. Nə üçün bu gün mənimlə davaya çıxmısınız?»
4 Then Jephthah summoned the men of [the] Gilead [region] to fight [against the men of the tribe of] Ephraim. The men of the tribe of Ephraim said, “You men from [the] Gilead [region] are men who deserted us. Long ago you left us and moved to the area between our tribe and the tribe of Manasseh.” [Because of their saying that], the men of [the] Gilead [region] attacked the men of the tribe of Ephraim.
İftah bütün Gileadlıları toplayıb Efrayimlilərlə döyüşdü və Gileadlılar Efrayimliləri qırdılar, çünki Efrayimlilər belə demişdilər: «Ey Efrayimlə Menaşşe arasında yaşayan Gileadlılar, siz Efrayimdən qaçan fərarilərsiniz!»
5 The men of Gilead captured that (ford/place where people can walk across) at the Jordan [River] to go to the land where the tribe of Ephraim live. Whenever one of the soldiers from the tribe of Ephraim came to the ford to try to escape, he would say, “Let me cross the river.” Then the men of Gilead would ask him, “Are you from the tribe of Ephraim?” If he said “No,”
Gileadlılar Efrayimin qarşısındakı İordan çayının keçidlərini tutdular. Əgər qaçıb qurtulmaq istəyən Efrayimlilərdən biri gəlib «qoy çayı keçim» deyərdisə, Gileadlılar ondan «sən Efrayimlisənmi?» deyə soruşardılar. O «xeyr» desəydi,
6 they would say to him, “Say the word ‘Shibboleth’.” The men of Ephraim could not pronounce that word correctly. So if the person from the tribe of Ephraim said ‘Sibboleth’, [they would know that he was lying and that he was really from the tribe of Ephraim, and] they would kill him there at the ford. So the men of Gilead killed 42,000 people from the tribe of Ephraim at that time.
o zaman ona «bir “şibbolet” de görək» deyərdilər. O da kəlməni doğru söyləyə bilməyib «sibbolet» deyərdi. Onda Gileadlılar onu tutub İordan çayının keçidlərində öldürərdi. Həmin dövrdə Efrayimlilərdən qırx iki min nəfər qırıldı.
7 Jephthah, the man from [the] Gilead [region], was a leader of the Israeli people for six years. Then he died and was buried in a town in [the] Gilead [region].
İftah altı il İsraildə hakimlik etdi. Sonra Gileadlı İftah öldü və Gileadın bir şəhərində dəfn olundu.
8 After Jephthah died, a man named Ibzan, from Bethlehem, became the leader of the Israeli people.
Ondan sonra Bet-Lexemli İvsan İsraildə hakimlik etdi.
9 He had 30 sons and 30 daughters. He forced all his daughters to marry men who were not in his clan, and brought women from outside his clan to marry his sons. He was the leader of the Israeli people for seven years.
Onun otuz oğlu və otuz qızı var idi. Qızlarını başqa nəsillərə ərə vermiş, oğullarına isə başqa nəsillərdən otuz gəlin gətirmişdi. İvsan İsraildə yeddi il hakimlik etdi.
10 When he died, he was buried in Bethlehem.
Sonra İvsan öldü və Bet-Lexemdə dəfn olundu.
11 After Ibzan died, a man named Elon, from the tribe of Zebulun, became the leader of the Israeli people. He was their leader for ten years.
Ondan sonra Zevulunlu Elon on il İsraildə hakimlik etdi.
12 Then he died and was buried in Aijalon [city] in the area where the tribe of Zebulun lives.
Zevulunlu Elon da öldü və Zevulun torpağında, Ayyalonda dəfn olundu.
13 After Elon died, a man named Abdon who was the son of Hillel, from Pirathon [city, in the area where the tribe of Ephraim live] became the leader of the Israeli people.
Ondan sonra Piratonlu Hillel oğlu Avdon İsraildə hakimlik etdi.
14 He had 40 sons and 30 grandsons. Each of them had his own donkey on which to ride. Abdon was the leader of the Israeli people for eight years.
Onun yetmiş sıpaya minən qırx oğlu ilə otuz nəvəsi var idi və o, səkkiz il İsraildə hakimlik etdi.
15 When Abdon died, he was buried in Pirathon, in the hilly area where the descendants of Amalek lived previously, [but now it is the area where the tribe of Ephraim lives].
Piratonlu Hillel oğlu Avdon da öldü və Amaleqlilərin dağlıq bölgəsindəki Efrayim torpağında – Piratonda dəfn olundu.
