Juízes 12
1 Então se convocaram os homens de Ephraim, e passaram para o norte, e disseram a Jefthe: Porque passaste a combater contra os filhos de Ammon, e não nos chamaste para ir contigo? queimaremos a fogo a tua casa contigo.
A call went out to the men of Ephraim; they passed through Zaphon and said to Jephthah, “Why did you pass through to fight against the people of Ammon and did not call us to go with you? We will burn your house down over you.”
2 E Jefthe lhes disse: Eu e o meu povo tivemos grande contenda com os filhos de Ammon: e chamei-vos, e não me livrastes da sua mão;
Jephthah said to them, “I and my people were in a great conflict with the people of Ammon. When I called you, you did not rescue me from them.
3 E, vendo eu que me não livraveis, pus a minha alma na minha mão, e passei aos filhos de Ammon, e o Senhor mos entregou nas mãos: porque pois subistes vós hoje contra mim, para combater contra mim
When I saw that you did not rescue me, When I saw that you did not rescue me, I put my life in my own hand and passed through against the people of Ammon, and Yahweh gave me victory. Why have you come to fight against me today?”
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 de Ephraim.
Jephthah gathered together all the men of Gilead and he fought against Ephraim. The men of Gilead attacked the men of Ephraim because they said, “You Gileadites are fugitives in Ephraim—in Ephraim and Manasseh.”
5 Porque tomaram os gileaditas aos ephraimitas os vaus do Jordão: e sucedeu que, quando os fugitivos de Ephraim diziam: Passarei; então os homens de Gilead lhes diziam: és tu ephratita? E dizendo ele: Não;
The Gileadites captured the fords of the Jordan leading to Ephraim. When any of the survivors of Ephraim said, “Let me go over the river,” the men of Gilead would say to him, “Are you an Ephraimite?” If he said, “No,”
6 Então lhe diziam: Dize pois, Shibboleth; porém ele dizia: Sibboleth, porque o não podia pronunciar assim bem: então pegavam dele, e o degolavam aos vaus do Jordão: e cairam de Ephraim naquele tempo quarenta e dois mil.
then they would say to him, “Say: Shibboleth,” and if he said “Sibboleth” (for he could not pronounce the word correctly), the Gileadites would seize him and kill him at the fords of the Jordan. Forty-two thousand Ephraimites were killed at that time.
7 E Jefthe julgou a Israel seis anos: e Jefthe, o gileadita, faleceu, e foi sepultado nas cidades de Gilead.
Jephthah served as a judge over Israel for six years. Then Jephthah the Gileadite died and was buried in one of the cities of Gilead.
8 E depois dele julgou a Israel Ebsan de Beth-lehem.
After him, Ibzan of Bethlehem served as a judge over Israel.
9 E tinha este trinta filhos; e enviou fora a trinta filhas; e trinta filhas trouxe de fora para seus filhos: e julgou a Israel sete anos.
He had thirty sons. He gave away thirty daughters in marriage, and he brought in thirty daughters of other men for his sons, from the outside. He judged Israel for seven years.
10 Então faleceu Ebsan, e foi sepultado em Beth-lehem.
Ibzan died and was buried at Bethlehem.
11 E depois dele julgou a Israel Elon, o zebulonita: e julgou a Israel dez anos.
After him Elon the Zebulunite served as judge over Israel. He judged Israel for ten years.
12 E faleceu Elon, o zebulonita, e foi sepultado em Ayalon, na terra de Zebulon.
Elon the Zebulunite died and was buried in Aijalon in the land of Zebulun.
13 E depois dele julgou a Israel Abdon, filho de Hillel, o pirathonita.
After him, Abdon son of Hillel the Pirathonite served as a judge over Israel.
14 E tinha este quarenta filhos, e trinta filhos de filhos, que cavalgavam sobre setenta jumentos: e julgou a Israel oito anos.
