Sudije 12
1 A ljudi od plemena Jefremova skupiše se, i prešavši na sjever rekoše Jeftaju: zašto si išao u boj na sinove Amonove a nas nijesi pozvao da idemo s tobom? spaliæemo ognjem dom tvoj i tebe.
But behold there arose a sedition in Ephraim. And passing towards the north, they said to Jephte: When thou wentest to fight against the children of Ammon, why wouldst thou not call us, that we might go with thee? Therefore we will burn thy house.
2 A Jeftaj im reèe: imah veliku raspru sa sinovima Amonovijem ja i moj narod, i pozvah vas, ali me ne izbaviste iz ruku njegovijeh.
And he answered them: I and my people were at great strife with the children of Ammon: and I called you to assist me, and you would not do it.
3 Pa videæi da me ne izbaviste, stavih dušu svoju u ruku svoju, i otidoh na sinove Amonove, i Gospod mi ih dade u ruke; pa što ste sada došli k meni da se bijete sa mnom?
And when I saw this, I put my life in my own hands, and passed over against the children of Ammon, and the Lord delivered them into my hands. What have I deserved, that you should rise up to fight against me?
4 Tada Jeftaj skupi sve ljude od Galada, i udari na Jefrema; i ljudi od Galada pobiše Jefrema; jer govorahu: bjegunci ste Jefremovi vi, ljudi od Galada, koji se bavite meðu Jefremom i meðu Manasijom.
Then calling to him all the men of Galaad, he fought against Ephraim: and the men of Galaad defeated Ephraim, because he had said: Galaad is a fugitive of Ephraim, and dwelleth in the midst of Ephraim and Manasses.
5 I Galad uze Jefremu brodove Jordanske. I kad koji od Jefrema dobježe i reèe: pusti me da prijeðem, rekoše mu oni od Galada: jesi li od Jefrema? I kad on reèe: nijesam,
And the Galaadites secured the fords of the Jordan, by which Ephraim was to return. And when any one of the number of Ephraim came thither in the flight, and said: I beseech you let me pass: the Galaadites said to him: Art thou not an Ephraimite? If he said: I am not:
6 Onda mu rekoše: reci: Šibolet. A on reèe: Sibolet, ne moguæi dobro izgovoriti. Tada ga uhvatiše i zaklaše na brodu Jordanskom. I pogibe u ono vrijeme iz plemena Jefremova èetrdeset i dvije tisuæe.
They asked him: Say then, Scibboleth, which is interpreted, An ear of corn. But he answered, Sibboleth, not being able to express an ear of corn by the same letter. Then presently they took him and killed him in the very passage of the Jordan. And there fell at that time of Ephraim two and forty thousand.
7 I Jeftaj bi sudija Izrailju šest godina; i umrije, i bi pogreben u gradu Galadskom.
And Jephte the Galaadite judged Israel six years: and he died, and was buried in his city of Galaad.
8 A poslije njega bi sudija Izrailju Avesan iz Vitlejema.
After him Abesan of Bethlehem judged Israel:
9 I imaše trideset sinova i trideset kæeri, koje razuda iz kuæe, a trideset djevojaka dovede sinovima svojim iz drugih kuæa; i bi sudija Izrailju sedam godina.
He had thirty sons, and as many daughters, whom he sent abroad, and gave to husbands, and took wives for his sons of the same number, bringing them into his house. And he judged Israel seven years:
10 Potom umrije Avesan, i bi pogreben u Vitlejemu.
And he died, and was buried in Bethlehem.
11 A poslije njega bi sudija Izrailju Elon od Zavulona; on bi sudija Izrailju deset godina.
To him succeeded Ahialon a Zabulonite: and he judged Israel ten years:
12 Potom umrije Elon od Zavulona i bi pogreben u Ajalonu u zemlji Zavulonovoj.
And he died, and was buried in Zabulon.
13 Poslije njega bi sudija Izrailju Avdon sin Elilov Faratonjanin.
After him Abdon, the son of Illel, a Pharathonite, judged Israel:
14 On imaše èetrdeset sinova i trideset unuka, koji jahahu sedamdesetoro magaradi. I bi sudija Izrailju osam godina.
And he had forty sons, and of them thirty grandsons, mounted upon seventy ass colts, and he judged Israel eight years:
15 Potom umrije Avdon sin Elilov Faratonjanin, i bi pogreben u Faratonu u zemlji Jefremovoj na gori Amalièkoj.
And he died, and was buried in Pharathon in the land of Ephraim, in the mount of Amalech.
