사사기 12
1 에브라임 사람들이 모여 북으로 가서 입다에게 이르되 네가 암몬자손과 싸우러 건너갈 때에 어찌하여 우리를 불러 너와 함께 가게 하지 아니하였느냐 우리가 반드시 불로 너와 네 집을 사르리라
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.”
2 입다가 그들에게 이르되 나와 나의 백성이 암몬 자손과 크게 다툴 때에 내가 너희를 부르되 너희가 나를 그들의 손에서 구원하지 아니한고로
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.
3 내가 너희의 구원치 아니하는 것을 보고 내 생명을 돌아보지 아니하고 건너가서 암몬 자손을 쳤더니 여호와께서 그들을 내 손에 붙이셨거늘 너희가 어찌하여 오늘날 내게 올라와서 나로 더불어 싸우고자 하느냐 하고
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]
4 입다가 길르앗 사람을 다 모으고 에브라임과 싸웠더니 길르앗 사람들이 에브라임을 쳐서 파하였으니 이는 에브라임의 말이 너희 길르앗 사람은 본래 에브라임에서 도망한 자로서 에브라임과 므낫세 중에 있다 하였음이라
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.
5 길르앗 사람이 에브라임 사람 앞서 요단 나루턱을 잡아 지키고 에브라임 사람의 도망하는 자가 말하기를 청컨대 나로 건너게 하라 하면 그에게 묻기를 네가 에브라임 사람이냐 하여 그가 만일 아니라 하면
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,”
6 그에게 이르기를 십볼렛이라 하라 하여 에브라임 사람이 능히 구음을 바로 하지 못하고 씹볼렛이라 하면 길르앗 사람이 곧 그를 잡아서 요단 나루턱에서 죽였더라 그 때에 에브라임 사람의 죽은 자가 사만 이천 명이었더라
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.
7 입다가 이스라엘 사사가 된지 육 년이라 길르앗 사람 입다가 죽으매 길르앗 한 성읍에 장사되었더라
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].
8 그의 뒤에는 베들레헴 입산이 이스라엘의 사사이었더라
After Jephthah died, a man named Ibzan, from Bethlehem, became the leader of the Israeli people.
9 그가 아들 삼십과 딸 삼십을 두었더니 딸들은 타국으로 시집 보내었고 아들들을 위하여는 타국에서 여자 삼십을 데려왔더라 그 가 이스라엘 사사가 된지 칠 년이라
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.
10 입산이 죽으매 베들레헴에 장사되었더라
When he died, he was buried in Bethlehem.
11 그의 뒤에는 스불론 사람 엘론이 이스라엘의 사사가 되어 십 년 동안 이스라엘을 다스렸더라
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.
12 스불론 사람 엘론이 죽으매 스불론 땅 아얄론에 장사되었더라
Then he died and was buried in Aijalon [city] in the area where the tribe of Zebulun lives.
13 그의 뒤에는 비라돈 사람 힐렐의 아들 압돈이 이스라엘의 사사이었더라
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.
14 그에게 아들 사십과 손자 삼십이 있어서 어린 나귀 칠십 필을 탔었더라 압돈이 이스라엘의 사사가 된지 팔 년이라
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.
15 비라돈 사람 힐렐의 아들 압돈이 죽으매 에브라임 땅 아말렉 사람의 산지 비라돈에 장사되었더라
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].
