士師記 12
1 エフライムの人々つどひて北にゆきヱフタにいひけるは汝何故に往きてアンモンの子孫と戰ひながらわれらをまねきて汝とともに行せざりしや我ら火をもて汝の家を汝とともに焚くべしと
And the men of Ephraim were called together, and passed over northward, —and said unto Jephthah—Wherefore didst thou pass over to do battle with the sons of Ammon, and, for us, didst not call, to go with thee? Thy house, will we consume over thee with fire.
2 ヱフタ之にいひけるは我とわが民の曾てアンモンの子孫と大に爭ひしときに我汝らをよびしに汝らかれらの手より我を救ふことをせざりき
And Jephthah said unto them, Great strife, had, I and my people, even with the sons of Ammon; but, when I cried unto you for help, ye saved me not out of their hand.
3 我汝らが我を救はざるを見たればわが命をかけてアンモンの子孫の所に攻ゆきしにヱホバかれらを我が手に付したまへり然ば汝らなんぞ今日我が許に上り來りて我とたたかはんとするやと
So, when I saw that thou wast not going to save, then put I my life in my hand, and passed over against the sons of Ammon, and Yahweh delivered them into my hand. Wherefore, then, have ye come up against me this day, to fight against me?
4 ヱフタここにおいてギレアデの人をことごとくつどへてエフライムとたたかひしがギレアデの人々エフライムを撃破れり是はエフライム汝らギレアデ人はエフライムの逃亡者にしてエフライムとマナセの中にをるなりと言しに由る
And Jephthah gathered together all the men of Gilead, and fought with Ephraim, —and the men of Gilead smote Ephraim, because they said—Fugitives of Ephraim, are, ye, O ye Gileadites, in the midst of Ephraim, in the midst of Manasseh.
5 而してギレアデ人エフライムにおもむくところのヨルダンの津をとりきりしがエフライム人の逃れ來る者ありて我を渡らせよといへばギレアデの人之に汝はエフライム人なるかと問ひ彼もし然らずと言ときは
And the Gileadites captured the fords of the Jordan, against the Ephraimites, —and so it was, that, when the fugitives of Ephraim said, Let me pass over, the men of Gilead said to him, An Ephraimite, art thou? and, if he said—Nay!
6 また之に請ふシボレテといへといふに彼その音を正しくいひ得ずしてセボレテと言ばすなはち之を引捕へてヨルダンの津に屠せりその時にエフライム人のたふれし者四萬二千人なりき
they said to him, Come now, say Shibboleth, and, if he said Sibboleth, and he could not take heed to speak in that manner, then laid they hold on him, and slew him at the fords of the Jordan, —and there fell, at that time, of the Ephraimites, forty-two thousand.
7 ヱフタ六年のあひだイスラエルを審きたりギレアデ人ヱフタつひに死てギレアデのある邑に葬むらる
And, when Jephthah had judged Israel six years, then Jephthah the Gileadite died, and was buried in [one of] the cities of Gilead.
8 彼の後にベテレヘムのイブザン、イスラエルを審きたり
And there judged Israel, after him, Ibzan of Bethlehem.
9 彼に三十人の男子ありまた三十人の女子ありしがこれをば外に嫁がしめてその子息等のために三十人の女を外より娶れり彼七年のあひだイスラエルを審きたり
And so it was, he had thirty sons, and, thirty daughters, sent he abroad, while, thirty daughters, brought he from abroad for his sons. And he judged Israel seven years.
10 イブザンつひに死てベテレヘムに葬むらる
And Ibzan died, and was buried in Bethlehem.
11 彼の後にゼブルン人エロン、イスラエルを審きたりゼブルン人エロン十年のあひだイスラエルを審きたり
And, after him, did Elon the Zebulunite judge Israel, —and he judged Israel, ten years.
12 ゼブルン人エロンつひに死てゼブルンの地のアヤロンに葬むらる
And Elon the Zebulunite died, and was buried in Aijalon, in the land of Zebulun.
13 彼の後にピラトン人ヒレルの子アブドン、イスラエルを審きたり
And there judged Israel, after him, Abdon son of Hillel, the Pirathonite.
14 彼に四十人の男子および三十人の孫ありて七十の驢馬に乗る彼八年のあひだイスラエルを審けり
And so it was, he had forty sons and thirty grandsons, who rode on seventy ass colts, —and he judged Israel eight years.
15 ピラトン人ヒレルの子アブドンつひに死てエフライムの地のピラトンに葬むらる是はアマレク人の山にあり
And Abdon son of Hillel, the Pirathonite died, —and was buried in Pirathon, in the land of Ephraim, in the hill country of the Amalekites.
