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.”
Ja Ephraimin miehet tulivat kokoon ja menivät pohjoiseen päin ja sanoivat Jephtalle: miksis menit sotaan Ammonin lapsia vastaan, ja et meitä kutsunut menemään kanssas? Me poltamme sinun ja sinun huonees.
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.
Jephta sanoi heille: minulla ja minun kansallani oli suuri riita Ammonin lasten kanssa, ja minä kutsuin teitä, ja ette auttaneet minua heidän käsistänsä.
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]
Koska minä näin, ettette tahtoneet vapahtaa minua, panin minä sieluni minun käteeni ja menin Ammonin lapsia vastaan, ja Herra antoi heidän minun käteeni: miksi te tulitte minun tyköni tänäpänä sotimaan minua vastaan?
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.
Ja Jephta kokosi kaikki Gileadin miehet ja soti Ephraimia vastaan, ja Gileadin miehet löivät Ephraimin, että he sanoivat: oletteko te Gileadilaiset Ephraimin ja Manassen seassa, te Ephraimin karkurit.
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,”
Ja Gileadilaiset ennättivät Jordanin luotuspaikat Ephraimin edestä. Koska ne paenneet Ephraimista sanoivat: anna minun käydä ylitse, niin sanoivat Gileadin miehet hänelle: oletkos Ephraimilainen? Ja hän vastasi: en.
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.
Niin he käskivät hänen sanoa: Sjibbolet, niin hän sanoi Sibbolet, ja ei taitanut sitä niin sanoa; niin ottivat he hänen kiinni ja tappoivat hänen Jordanin luotuspaikalla, niin että silloin lankesi Ephraimista kaksiviidettäkymmentä tuhatta.
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].
Ja Jephta tuomitsi Israelia kuusi ajastaikaa; ja Jephta Gileadilainen kuoli ja haudattiin Gileadin kaupunkeihin.
8 After Jephthah died, a man named Ibzan, from Bethlehem, became the leader of the Israeli people.
Tämän jälkeen tuomitsi Ibtsan Betlehemistä Israelia.
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.
Hänellä oli kolmekymmentä poikaa, ja kolmekymmentä tytärtä hän naitti ulos, ja kolmekymmentä tytärtä otti hän muukalaisista pojillensa; ja tuomitsi Israelia seitsemän ajastaikaa.
10 When he died, he was buried in Bethlehem.
Ja Ibtsan kuoli ja haudattiin Betlehemissä.
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.
Tämän jälkeen tuomitsi Israelia Elon Sebulonilainen, ja hän tuomitsi Israelia kymmenen ajastaikaa.
12 Then he died and was buried in Aijalon [city] in the area where the tribe of Zebulun lives.
Ja Elon Sebulonilainen kuoli ja haudattiin Ajalonissa, Sebulonin maalla.
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.
Tämän jälkeen tuomitsi Israelia Abdon Hillelin poika, Pirtagonilainen.
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.
Hänellä oli neljäkymmentä poikaa ja kolmekymmentä pojanpoikaa, jotka ajoivat seitsemälläkymmenellä aasin varsalla; hän tuomitsi Israelia kahdeksan ajastaikaa.
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].
Ja Abdon Hillelin poika, Pirtagonilainen, kuoli ja haudattiin Pirtagoniin Ephraimin maalla, Amalekilaisten vuorella.
