Księga Sędziów 12
1 I zebrali się mężowie Efraimscy, a przyszedłszy ku północy, rzekli do Jeftego: Przeczżeś szedł walczyć przeciwko synom Ammonowym, a nie wezwałeś nas, abyśmy szli z tobą? przetoż dom twój i ciebie spalimy ogniem.
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 I rzekł Jefte do nich: Miałem nie mały spór ja i lud mój z syny Ammonowymi, i wzywałem was, a nie wybawiliście mię z rąk ich.
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 A widząc, żeście mię wybawić nie chcieli, odważyłem zdrowie swoje, i ciągnąłem przeciw synom Ammonowym, a podał je Pan w ręce moje, i przeczżeście przyszli do mnie dnia tego, abyście walczyli przeciwko mnie?
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 A tak zebrawszy Jefte wszystkie męże z Galaad, walczył z Efraimem; i porazili mężowie z Galaad Efraima, przeto iż mówili: Wy Galaadczycy, którzy się bawicie między Efraimitami i między Manasesytami, zbiegowieście od Efraimitów.
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 I odjęli Galaadczycy brody Jordańskie Efraimowi; a gdy mówili uciekający z Efraimczyków: Niech przejdę, tedy pytali mężowie Galaadscy: A Efratejczykieś ty: A jeźli rzekł: Nie.
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 Tedy mu mówili: Wymówże teraz Szybolet; jeźli rzekł: Sybolet, a inaczej nie mógł wymówić, tedy pojmawszy go, zabijali go u brodu Jordańskiego. I poległo na on czas z Efraima czterdzieści i dwa tysiące.
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 A tak sądził Jefte Galaadczyk Izraela przez sześć lat; potem umarł Jefte Galaadczyk, a pogrzebion jest w jednem z miast Galaadskich.
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 Potem sądził po nim Izraela Abesan z Betlehem.
After Jephthah died, a man named Ibzan, from Bethlehem, became the leader of the Israeli people.
9 A miał trzydzieści synów, i trzydzieści córek, które powydawał od siebie, trzydzieści żon przywiódł synom swoim zinąd, i sądził Izraela przez siedem lat.
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 Umarł potem Abesan, i pogrzebion jest w Betlehem.
When he died, he was buried in Bethlehem.
11 A po nim sądził Izraela Elon Zabulończyk, i sądził Izraela przez dziesięć lat.
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 Potem umarł Elon Zabulończyk, i pogrzebiony jest w Ajalon w ziemi Zabulon.
Then he died and was buried in Aijalon [city] in the area where the tribe of Zebulun lives.
13 A po nim sądził Izraela Abdon, syn Hellelów, Faratończyk.
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 A ten miał czterdzieści synów, i trzydzieści wnuków, którzy jeździli na siedemdziesięciu oślętach; i sądził Izraela przez osiem lat.
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 Umarł potem Abdon, syn Hellelów, Faratończyk, i pogrzebiony jest w Faratonie w ziemi Efraimskiej, na górze Amalekitów.
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].
