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 gathered themselves together, and went northward, and said unto Jephthah, Wherefore passedst thou over to fight against the children of Ammon, and didst not call us to go with thee? we will burn thine house upon 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, 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.

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 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: wherefore then are 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

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.

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 took the passages of Jordan before the Ephraimites: and it was [so], that when those Ephraimites which were escaped said, Let me go over; that the men of Gilead said unto him, [Art] thou an Ephraimite? 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

Then said they unto 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 passages of Jordan: and there fell at that time of the Ephraimites forty and 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 Jephthah judged Israel six years. Then died Jephthah the Gileadite, 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 after him Ibzan of Beth-lehem judged 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 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.

10 イブザンつひに死てベテレヘムに葬むらる

Then died Ibzan, and was buried at 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, a Zebulonite, judged 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 Zebulonite died, and was buried in Aijalon in the country 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 the son of Hillel, a Pirathonite, judged 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 had forty sons and thirty nephews, that rode on threescore and ten 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 the son of Hillel the Pirathonite died, and was buried in Pirathon in the land of Ephraim, in the mount of the Amalekites.
