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.
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 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.
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 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 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 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.
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 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 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 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 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 Bet Jeftus tiesāja Israēli sešus gadus. Un Jeftus, tas Gileādietis, nomira un tapa aprakts kādā Gileādas pilsētā.
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 Un pēc viņa Ebcans no Bētlemes tiesāja Israēli.
After Jephthah died, a man named Ibzan, from Bethlehem, became the leader of the Israeli people.
9 Un tam bija trīsdesmit dēli, un trīsdesmit meitas viņš izdeva, un trīsdesmit meitas viņš ieveda no ārienes priekš saviem dēliem.
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 Un tas Israēli tiesāja septiņus gadus; tad Ebcans nomira un tapa aprakts Bētlemē.
When he died, he was buried in Bethlehem.
11 Un pēc viņa Elons, tas Zebulonietis, tiesāja Israēli, un tas Israēli tiesāja desmit gadus.
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 Un Elons, tas Zebulonietis, nomira un tapa aprakts Ajalonā, Zebulona zemē.
Then he died and was buried in Aijalon [city] in the area where the tribe of Zebulun lives.
13 Un pēc viņa Abdons, Ilela, tā Piratonieša, dēls, tiesāja Israēli.
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 Un tam bija četrdesmit dēli un trīsdesmit dēlu dēli, kas uz septiņdesmit ēzeļiem jāja, un tas tiesāja Israēli astoņus gadus.
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 Un Abdons, Ilela, tā Piratonieša, dēls, nomira un tapa aprakts Piratonā, Efraīma zemē, uz Amaleka kalniem.
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].
