Sodniki 12

1 Možje iz Efrájima so se zbrali skupaj in odšli proti severu in rekli Jefteju: »Zakaj prehajaš preko, da se boriš zoper Amónove otroke, nas pa nisi poklical, da gremo s teboj? Nad teboj bomo tvojo hišo požgali z ognjem.«

The men of Ephraim were gathered together, and passed northward; and they said to Jephthah, “Why did you pass over to fight against the children of Ammon, and didn’t call us to go with you? We will burn your house around you with fire!”

2 Jefte jim je rekel: »Jaz in moje ljudstvo smo bili v velikem boju z Amónovimi otroki in ko sem vas poklical, me niste osvobodili iz njihovih rok.

Jephthah said to them, “I and my people were at great strife with the children of Ammon; and when I called you, you didn’t save me out of their hand.

3 Ko sem videl, da me niste osvobodili, sem svoje življenje vzel v svoje roke in šel preko, proti Amónovim otrokom in Gospod jih je izročil v mojo roko. Zakaj ste torej vi ta dan prišli gor do mene, da se borite zoper mene?«

When I saw that you didn’t save me, I put my life in my hand, and passed over against the children of Ammon, and the LORD delivered them into my hand. Why then have you come up to me today, to fight against me?”

4 Potem je Jefte zbral skupaj vse gileádske može in se bojeval z Efrájimom in gileádski možje so udarili Efrájim, ker so rekli: »Vi Gileádčani ste ubežniki iz Efrájima med Efrájimci in Manásejci.«

Then Jephthah gathered together all the men of Gilead, and fought with Ephraim. The men of Gilead struck Ephraim, because they said, “You are fugitives of Ephraim, you Gileadites, in the middle of Ephraim, and in the middle of Manasseh.”

5 Gileádčani so pred Efrájimci zavzeli jordanske prehode. In bilo je tako, da ko so tisti Efrájimci, ki so pobegnili, rekli: »Naj grem preko, « da so mu gileádski možje rekli: » Ali si Efrájimec?« Če je rekel: »Ne, «

The Gileadites took the fords of the Jordan against the Ephraimites. Whenever a fugitive of Ephraim said, “Let me go over,” the men of Gilead said to him, “Are you an Ephraimite?” If he said, “No;”

6 potem so mu rekli: »Reci sedaj Šibólet« in je rekel »Sibólet, « kajti tega ni mogel pravilno naglasiti. Potem so ga prijeli in usmrtil pri jordanskih prehodih in tam jih je ob tistem času izmed Efrájimcev padlo dvainštirideset tisoč.

then they said to him, “Now say ‘Shibboleth;’” and he said “Sibboleth”; for he couldn’t manage to pronounce it correctly, then they seized him and killed him at the fords of the Jordan. At that time, forty-two thousand of Ephraim fell.

7 Jefte je Izraelu sodil šest let. Potem je Gileádčan Jefte umrl in bil pokopan v enem izmed mest Gileáda.

8 Za njim je Izraelu sodil Ibcán iz Betlehema.

After him Ibzan of Bethlehem judged Israel.

He had thirty sons. He sent his thirty daughters outside his clan, and he brought in thirty daughters from outside his clan for his sons. He judged Israel seven years.

10 Potem je Ibcán umrl in je bil pokopan pri Betlehemu.

Ibzan died, and was buried at Bethlehem.

11 Za njim je Izraelu sodil Zábulonec Elón. Izraelu je sodil deset let.

12 Zábulonec Elón je umrl in je bil pokopan v Ajalónu, v deželi Zábulon.
