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 are called together, and pass over northward, and say to Jephthah, 'Wherefore has thou passed over to fight against the Bene-Ammon, and on us hast not called to go with thee? thy house we burn 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 saith unto them, 'A man of great strife I have been (I and my people) with the Bene-Ammon, and I call you, and ye have not saved me 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

and I see that thou art not a saviour, and I put my life in my hand, and pass over unto the Bene-Ammon, and Jehovah giveth them into my hand — and why have ye come up unto 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 all the men of Gilead, and fighteth with Ephraim, and the men of Gilead smite Ephraim, because they said, 'Fugitives of Ephraim [are] 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 Gilead captureth the passages of the Jordan to Ephraim, and it hath been, when [any of] the fugitives of Ephraim say, 'Let me pass over,' and the men of Gilead say to him, 'An Ephramite thou?' and he saith, 'No;'

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

that they say to him, 'Say, I pray thee, Shibboleth;' and he saith, 'Sibboleth,' and is not prepared to speak right — and they seize him, and slaughter him at the passages of the Jordan, and there fall at that time, of Ephraim, forty and two chiefs.

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 Jephthah judged Israel six years, and Jephthah the Gileadite dieth, and is 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 after him Ibzan of Beth-Lehem judgeth Israel,

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 he hath thirty sons and thirty daughters, he hath sent without and thirty daughters hath brought in to his sons from without; and he judgeth 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 dieth, and is buried in Beth-Lehem.

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 Elon the Zebulunite judgeth Israel, and he judgeth 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 dieth, and is 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 after him, Abdon son of Hillel, the Pirathonite, judgeth Israel,

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 he hath forty sons, and thirty grandsons, riding on seventy ass-colts, and he judgeth 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, dieth, and is buried in Pirathon, in the land of Ephraim, in the hill-country of the Amalekite.
