Sog̒u 12
1 Tad Efraīma vīri tapa sasaukti un gāja pret ziemeļa pusi un sacīja uz Jeftu: kāpēc tu esi gājis karot pret Amona bērniem un mūs neesi aicinājis, tev iet līdzi? Mēs tavu namu pār tevi sadedzināsim ar uguni.
Then the Ephraimites were called up and crossed the Jordan to Zaphon. They said to Jephthah, “Why did you go and fight the Ammonites without summoning us to go with you? We're going to burn your house down with you inside it!”
2 Un Jeftus uz tiem sacīja: man un maniem ļaudīm bija liels strīds ar Amona bērniem, un es jūs lūdzu, bet jūs man nepalīdzējāt (atbrīvoties) no viņu rokas.
“I was a man with a great fight on my hands,” Jephthah replied. “I and my people were fighting the Ammonites. When I called on you for help, you didn't come and help save me from them.
3 Kad es nu redzēju, ka jūs negribējāt palīdzēt, tad es savu dvēseli liku savā rokā un gāju pret Amona bērniem, un Tas Kungs tos nodeva manā rokā. Kāpēc tad jūs šodien pret mani esat nākuši, karot ar mani?
When I realized that you weren't going to help, I took my life in my hands and went to fight the Ammonites, and the Lord made me victorious over them. So why have you come here today to attack me?”
4 Un Jeftus sapulcēja visus Gileādas vīrus un karoja ar Efraīmu, un Gileādas vīrī sakāva Efraīmu, tāpēc ka tie sacīja: jūs Gileādieši starp Efraīma un Manasus, jūs esat Efraīma bēgļi.
Jephthah summoned all of the men of Gilead and fought against the Ephraimites. The men of Gilead killed them because the Ephraimites taunted them, saying, “You Gileadites are nothing more than escapees living among Ephraim and Manasseh.”
5 Un Gileādieši aizņēma Efraīmiešiem Jardānes pārejamo vietu. Un kad Efraīmieši bēgot sacīja: ļauj man pāriet! Tad Gileādas vīri uz to sacīja: vai tu esi no Efraīma? Kad viņš tad sacīja: ne!
The Gileadites took control of the fords over the Jordan River that led to Ephraim's territory, and when an Ephraimite escapee from the battle would come and ask, “Let me cross over,” the Gileadites would question him, “Are you an Ephraimite?” If he answered, “No,”
6 Tad tie uz viņu sacīja: saki jel: Šibolet! Un kad tas sacīja: Sibolet! Un to nevarēja pareizi izrunāt; tad tie viņu sagrāba un to nokāva pie Jardānes pārejamās vietas, ka tanī laikā no Efraīma četrdesmit divi tūkstoši krita.
they would tell him, “Say Shibboleth.” If he was from Ephraim he would say “Sibboleth” because he couldn't pronounce it right, and they'd grab him and kill him there at the Jordan fords. A total of 42,000 were killed at that time.
7 Bet Jeftus tiesāja Israēli sešus gadus. Un Jeftus, tas Gileādietis, nomira un tapa aprakts kādā Gileādas pilsētā.
Jephthah led Israel as judge for six years. Then he died and was buried in one of Gilead's towns.
8 Un pēc viņa Ebcans no Bētlemes tiesāja Israēli.
After Jephthah, Ibzan of Bethlehem led Israel as a judge.
9 Un tam bija trīsdesmit dēli, un trīsdesmit meitas viņš izdeva, un trīsdesmit meitas viņš ieveda no ārienes priekš saviem dēliem.
He had thirty sons and thirty daughters. He married off his daughters to men of other tribes, and he brought in thirty wives from other tribes to marry his sons. Ibzan led Israel as judge for seven years.
10 Un tas Israēli tiesāja septiņus gadus; tad Ebcans nomira un tapa aprakts Bētlemē.
Then Ibzan died and was buried in Bethlehem.
11 Un pēc viņa Elons, tas Zebulonietis, tiesāja Israēli, un tas Israēli tiesāja desmit gadus.
After him, Elon the Zebulunite led Israel as judge for ten years.
12 Un Elons, tas Zebulonietis, nomira un tapa aprakts Ajalonā, Zebulona zemē.
Then he died and was buried at Aijalon in the territory of Zebulun.
13 Un pēc viņa Abdons, Ilela, tā Piratonieša, dēls, tiesāja Israēli.
After him, Abdon, son of Hillel, from Pirathon, led Israel as judge.
14 Un tam bija četrdesmit dēli un trīsdesmit dēlu dēli, kas uz septiņdesmit ēzeļiem jāja, un tas tiesāja Israēli astoņus gadus.
He had forty sons and thirty grandsons, who rode seventy donkeys. He led Israel as judge for eight years.
15 Un Abdons, Ilela, tā Piratonieša, dēls, nomira un tapa aprakts Piratonā, Efraīma zemē, uz Amaleka kalniem.
Then he died and was buried at Pirathon in the territory of Ephraim, in the hill country of the Amalekites.
