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.”
Efrayimli erkekler toplanıp Safon'a geçtiler. Yiftah'a, “Ammonlular'la savaşmaya gittiğinde bizi neden çağırmadın?” dediler, “Seni de evini de yakacağız.”
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.
Yiftah, “Halkımla ben Ammonlular'a karşı amansız bir savaşa tutuşmuştuk” diye yanıtladı, “Sizi çağırdım, ama gelip beni onların elinden kurtarmadınız.
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]
Beni kurtarmak istemediğinizi görünce canımı dişime takıp Ammonlular'a karşı harekete geçtim. Sonunda RAB onları elime teslim etti. Neden bugün benimle savaşmaya kalkışıyorsunuz?”
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.
Bundan sonra Yiftah Gilat erkeklerini toplayarak Efrayimoğulları'yla savaşa girdi. Gilatlılar Efrayimoğulları'na saldırdılar. Çünkü Efrayimoğulları onlara, “Ey Efrayim ve Manaşşe halkları arasında yaşayan Gilatlılar, siz Efrayim'den kaçan döneklersiniz!” demişlerdi.
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,”
Şeria Irmağı'nın Efrayim'e yol veren geçitlerini tutan Gilatlılar, geçmek isteyen Efrayimli kaçaklara, “Efrayimli misin?” diye sorarlardı. Adamlar, “Hayır” derlerse,
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 onlara, “‘Şibbolet’ deyin bakalım” derlerdi. Adamlar “Sibbolet” derdi. Çünkü “Şibbolet” sözcüğünü doğru söyleyemezlerdi. Bunun üzerine onları yakalayıp Şeria Irmağı'nın geçitlerinde öldürürlerdi. O gün Efrayimliler'den kırk iki bin kişi öldürüldü.
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].
Gilatlı Yiftah İsrail'i altı yıl yönetti. Ölünce Gilat kentlerinden birinde gömüldü.
8 After Jephthah died, a man named Ibzan, from Bethlehem, became the leader of the Israeli people.
Ondan sonra İsrail'in başına Beytlehemli İvsan geçti.
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.
İvsan'ın otuz oğlu, otuz kızı vardı. İvsan kızlarını başka boylara verdi, oğullarına da başka boylardan kızlar aldı. İsrail'i yedi yıl yönetti.
10 When he died, he was buried in Bethlehem.
Ölünce Beytlehem'de gömüldü.
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 İsrail'in başına Zevulun oymağından Elon geçti. Elon İsrail'i on yıl yönetti.
12 Then he died and was buried in Aijalon [city] in the area where the tribe of Zebulun lives.
Ölünce Zevulun topraklarında, Ayalon'da gömüldü.
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.
Onun ardından İsrail'in başına Piratonlu Hillel oğlu Avdon geçti.
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.
Avdon'un kırk oğlu, otuz torunu ve bunların bindiği yetmiş eşeği vardı. İsrail'i sekiz yıl yönetti.
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 ölünce Amalekliler'e ait dağlık bölgenin Efrayim yöresindeki Piraton'da gömüldü.
