Judges 12
1 And the men of Ephraim gathered themselves together, and went northward, and said to Jephthah, Why didst thou pass over to fight against the children of Ammon, and didst not call us to go with thee? we will burn thy house upon thee with fire.
E juntando-se os homens de Efraim, passaram até o norte, e disseram a Jefté: Por que foste a fazer guerra contra os filhos de Amom, e não nos chamaste para que fôssemos contigo? Nós queimaremos a fogo tua casa contigo.
2 And Jephthah said to them, I and my people were at great strife with the children of Ammon; and when I called you, ye delivered me not out of their hands.
E Jefté lhes respondeu: Eu tive, e meu povo, uma grande contenda com os filhos de Amom, e vos chamei, e não me defendestes de suas mãos.
3 And when I saw that ye delivered me not, I put my life in my hands, and passed over against the children of Ammon, and the LORD delivered them into my hand: why then have ye come up to me this day, to fight against me?
Vendo pois que não me defendíeis, pus minha alma em minha palma, e passei contra os filhos de Amom, e o SENHOR os entregou em minha mão: por que pois subistes hoje contra mim para lutar comigo?
4 Then Jephthah gathered together all the men of Gilead, and fought with Ephraim: and the men of Gilead smote Ephraim, because they said, Ye Gileadites are fugitives of Ephraim among the Ephraimites, and among the Manassites.
E juntando Jefté a todos os homens de Gileade, lutou contra Efraim; e os de Gileade feriram a Efraim, porque haviam dito: Vós sois fugitivos de Efraim, vós sois gileaditas entre Efraim e Manassés.
5 And the Gileadites took the fords of Jordan before the Ephraimites: and it was so, that when those Ephraimites who had escaped said, Let me go over; that the men of Gilead said to him, Art thou an Ephraimite? If he said, Nay;
E os gileaditas tomaram os vaus do Jordão a Efraim; e era que, quando algum dos de Efraim que havia fugido, dizia, passarei? Os de Gileade lhe perguntavam: És tu efraimita? Se ele respondia, Não;
6 Then said they to him, Say now Shibboleth: and he said Sibboleth: for he could not frame to pronounce it right. Then they took him, and slew him at the fords of Jordan: and there fell at that time of the Ephraimites forty and two thousand.
Então lhe diziam: Agora, pois, dize, Chibolete. E ele dizia, Sibolete; porque não podia pronunciar daquela sorte. Então lhe lançavam mão, e lhe degolavam junto aos vaus do Jordão. E morreram então dos de Efraim quarenta e dois mil.
7 And Jephthah judged Israel six years. Then died Jephthah the Gileadite, and was buried in one of the cities of Gilead.
E Jefté julgou Israel por seis anos: logo morreu Jefté gileadita, e foi sepultado em uma das cidades de Gileade.
8 And after him Ibzan of Bethlehem judged Israel.
Depois dele julgou a Israel Ibsã de Belém;
9 And he had thirty sons, and thirty daughters, whom he sent abroad, and took in thirty daughters from abroad for his sons. And he judged Israel seven years.
O qual teve trinta filhos e trinta filhas, as quais casou fora, e tomou de fora trinta filhas para seus filhos: e julgou a Israel sete anos.
10 Then died Ibzan, and was buried at Bethlehem.
E morreu Ibsã, e foi sepultado em Belém.
11 And after him Elon, a Zebulonite, judged Israel; and he judged Israel ten years.
Depois dele julgou a Israel Elom, zebulonita, o qual julgou Israel por dez anos.
12 And Elon the Zebulonite died, and was buried in Aijalon in the country of Zebulun.
E morreu Elom, zebulonita, e foi sepultado em Aijalom na terra de Zebulom.
13 And after him Abdon the son of Hillel, a Pirathonite, judged Israel.
Depois dele julgou a Israel Abdom filho de Hilel, piratonita.
14 And he had forty sons and thirty grandsons, that rode on seventy young donkeys: and he judged Israel eight years.
Este teve quarenta filhos e trinta netos, que cavalgavam sobre setenta asnos: e julgou a Israel oito anos.
15 And Abdon the son of Hillel the Pirathonite died, and was buried in Pirathon in the land of Ephraim, in the mount of the Amalekites.
E morreu Abdom filho de Hilel, piratonita, e foi sepultado em Piratom, na terra de Efraim, no monte de Amaleque.
