Juízes 12
1 Então se convocaram os homens d'Ephraim, e passaram para o norte, e disseram a Jefthe: Porque passaste a combater contra os filhos d'Ammon, e não nos chamaste para ir comtigo? queimaremos a fogo a tua casa comtigo.
And behold, a sedition rose up in Ephraim. Then, while passing by toward the north, they said to Jephthah: “When you were going to fight against the sons of Ammon, why were you unwilling to summon us, so that we might go with you? Therefore, we will burn down your house.”
2 E Jefthe lhes disse: Eu e o meu povo tivemos grande contenda com os filhos d'Ammon: e chamei-vos, e não me livrastes da sua mão;
And he answered them: “I and my people were in a great conflict against the sons of Ammon. And I called you, so that you might offer assistance to me. And you were not willing to do so.
3 E, vendo eu que me não livraveis, puz a minha alma na minha mão, e passei aos filhos de Ammon, e o Senhor m'os entregou nas mãos: porque pois subistes vós hoje contra mim, para combater contra mim
And discerning this, I put my life in my own hands, and I crossed to the sons of Ammon, and the Lord delivered them into my hands. What am I guilty of, that you would rise up in battle against me?”
4 E ajuntou Jefthe a todos os homens de Gilead, e combateu com Ephraim: e os homens de Gilead feriram a Ephraim; porque, estando os gileaditas entre Ephraim e Manasseh, disseram: Fugitivos sois d'Ephraim.
And so, calling to himself all the men of Gilead, he fought against Ephraim. And the men of Gilead struck down Ephraim, because he had said, “Gilead is a fugitive from Ephraim, and he lives in the midst of Ephraim and Manasseh.”
5 Porque tomaram os gileaditas aos ephraimitas os váos do Jordão: e succedeu que, quando os fugitivos d'Ephraim diziam: Passarei; então os homens de Gilead lhes diziam: Es tu ephratita? E dizendo elle: Não;
And the Gileadites occupied the fords of the Jordan, along which Ephraim was to return. And when anyone from the number of Ephraim had arrived, fleeing, and had said, “I beg that you permit me to pass,” the Gileadites would say to him, “Could you be an Ephraimite?” And if he said, “I am not,”
6 Então lhe diziam: Dize pois, Shibboleth; porém elle dizia: Sibboleth, porque o não podia pronunciar assim bem: então pegavam d'elle, e o degolavam aos váos do Jordão: e cairam de Ephraim n'aquelle tempo quarenta e dois mil.
they would ask him, then say ‘Shibboleth,’ which is translated as ‘ear of grain.’ But he would answer ‘Sibboleth,’ not being able to express the word for an ear of grain in the same letters. And immediately apprehending him, they would cut his throat, at the same crossing point of the Jordan. And in that time of Ephraim, forty-two thousand fell.
7 E Jefthe julgou a Israel seis annos: e Jefthe, o gileadita, falleceu, e foi sepultado nas cidades de Gilead.
And so Jephthah, the Gileadite, judged Israel for six years. And he died, and he was buried in his city in Gilead.
8 E depois d'elle julgou a Israel Ebsan de Beth-lehem.
After him, Ibzan of Bethlehem judged Israel.
9 E tinha este trinta filhos; e enviou fóra a trinta filhas; e trinta filhas trouxe de fóra para seus filhos: e julgou a Israel sete annos.
He had thirty sons, and the same number of daughters, whom he sent away to be given to husbands. And he accepted wives for his sons of the same number, bringing them into his house. And he judged Israel for seven years.
10 Então falleceu Ebsan, e foi sepultado em Beth-lehem.
And he died, and he was buried in Bethlehem.
11 E depois d'elle julgou a Israel Elon, o zebulonita: e julgou a Israel dez annos.
After him succeeded Elon, a Zebulunite. And he judged Israel for ten years.
12 E falleceu Elon, o zebulonita, e foi sepultado em Ayalon, na terra de Zebulon.
And he died, and he was buried in Zebulun.
13 E depois d'elle julgou a Israel Abdon, filho d'Hillel, o pirhathonita.
After him, Abdon, the son of Hillel, a Pirathonite, judged Israel.
14 E tinha este quarenta filhos, e trinta filhos de filhos, que cavalgavam sobre setenta jumentos: e julgou a Israel oito annos.
And he had forty sons, and from them thirty grandsons, all riding upon seventy young donkeys. And he judged Israel for eight years.
15 Então falleceu Abdon, filho d'Hillel, o pirathonita: e foi sepultado em Pirathon, na terra de Ephraim, no monte do amalekita.
And he died, and he was buried at Pirathon, in the land of Ephraim, on the mountain of Amalek.
