< 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.
And the men of Ephraim were gathered together, and passed to Zaphon; and they said unto Jephthah: 'Wherefore didst thou pass over to fight against the children of Ammon, and didst not call us to go with thee? we will burn thy house upon thee with fire.'
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 Jephthah said unto them: 'I and my people were at great strife with the children of Ammon; and when I called you, ye saved me not out of their hand.
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 that ye saved me not, I put my life in my hand, and passed over against the children of Ammon, and the LORD delivered them into my hand; wherefore then are ye come up unto me this day, 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 Jephthah gathered together all the men of Gilead, and fought with Ephraim; and the men of Gilead smote Ephraim, because they said: 'Ye are fugitives of Ephraim, ye Gileadites, in the midst of Ephraim, and in the midst of Manasseh.'
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 Gileadites took the fords of the Jordan against the Ephraimites; and it was so, that when any of the fugitives of Ephraim said: 'Let me go over,' the men of Gilead said unto him: 'Art thou an Ephraimite?' If he said: 'Nay';
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.
then said they unto him: 'Say now Shibboleth'; and he said 'Sibboleth'; for he could not frame to pronounce it right; then they laid hold on him, and slew him at the fords of the Jordan; and there fell at that time of Ephraim forty and two thousand.
7 I Jeftaj bi sudija Izrailju šest godina; i umrije, i bi pogreben u gradu Galadskom.
And Jephthah judged Israel six years. Then died Jephthah the Gileadite, and was buried in one of the cities of Gilead.
8 A poslije njega bi sudija Izrailju Avesan iz Vitlejema.
And after him Ibzan of Beth-lehem 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.
And he had thirty sons, and thirty daughters he sent abroad, and thirty daughters he brought in from abroad for his sons. And he judged Israel seven years.
10 Potom umrije Avesan, i bi pogreben u Vitlejemu.
and Ibzan died, and was buried at Beth-lehem.
11 A poslije njega bi sudija Izrailju Elon od Zavulona; on bi sudija Izrailju deset godina.
And after him Elon the Zebulunite judged Israel; and he judged Israel ten years.
12 Potom umrije Elon od Zavulona i bi pogreben u Ajalonu u zemlji Zavulonovoj.
And Elon the Zebulunite died, and was buried in Aijalon in the land of Zebulun.
13 Poslije njega bi sudija Izrailju Avdon sin Elilov Faratonjanin.
And after him Abdon the son of Hillel the Pirathonite 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 thirty sons' sons, that rode on threescore and ten 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 Abdon the son of Hillel the Pirathonite died, and was buried in Pirathon in the land of Ephraim, in the hill-country of the Amalekites.
