Mga Hukom 12

1At ang mga lalake ng Ephraim ay nagpipisan at nagdaan sa dakong hilagaan: at sinabi nila kay Jephte, Bakit ka nagpatuloy na lumaban sa mga anak ni Ammon, at hindi mo kami tinawag upang yumaong kasama mo? susunugin ka namin pati ng iyong bahay. 2At sinabi ni Jephte sa kanila, Ako at ang aking bayan ay totoong nakipaglaban sa mga anak ni Ammon; at nang tawagan ko kayo ay hindi ninyo ako iniligtas sa kanilang kamay. 3At nang makita ko na ako'y hindi ninyo iniligtas ay aking inilagak ang aking buhay sa aking kamay, at ako'y nagdaan laban sa mga anak ni Ammon, at sila'y ibinigay ng Panginoon sa aking kamay: bakit nga inahon ninyo ako sa araw na ito, upang makipaglaban sa akin? 4Nang magkagayo'y pinisan ni Jephte ang mga lalake sa Galaad, at nakipaglaban sa Ephraim; at sinaktan ng mga lalake ng Galaad ang Ephraim, sapagka't kanilang sinabi, Kayo'y mga tanan sa Ephraim, kayong mga Galaadita, sa gitna ng Ephraim, at sa gitna ng Manases. 5At sinakop ng mga Galaadita ang mga tawiran sa Jordan sa dako ng mga Ephraimita. At nangyari, na pagkasinabi ng mga tanan sa Ephraim na, Paraanin mo ako, ay sinasabi ng mga lalake ng Galaad sa kaniya, Ikaw ba'y Ephraimita? Kung kaniyang sabihin, Hindi; 6Ay sinabi nga nila sa kaniya, Sabihin mong Shiboleth; at sinasabi niya, Shiboleth; sapagka't hindi matumpakang sabihing matuwid; kung magkagayo'y kanilang hinuhuli, at pinapatay sa mga tawiran ng Jordan: at nahulog nang panahong yaon sa Ephraim ay apat na pu't dalawang libo. 7At naghukom si Jephte sa Israel na anim na taon. Nang magkagayo'y namatay si Jephte na Galaadita, at inilibing sa isang bayan ng Galaad. 8At pagkamatay niya, si Ibzan na taga Bethlehem ang naghukom sa Israel. 9At siya'y nagkaanak ng tatlong pung lalake, at ang tatlong pung anak na babae ay kaniyang ipinadala sa ibang bayan, at tatlong pung anak na babae ay kaniyang ipinasok mula sa ibang bayan para sa kaniyang mga anak na lalake. At naghukom siya sa Israel na pitong taon. 10At si Ibzan ay namatay, at inilibing sa Bethlehem. 11At pagkamatay niya, si Elon na Zabulonita ang naghukom sa Israel; at naghukom siya sa Israel na sangpung taon. 12At si Elon na Zabulonita ay namatay, at inilibing sa Ajalon sa lupain ng Zabulon. 13At pagkamatay niya, si Abdon na anak ni Hillel na Piratonita ang naghukom sa Israel. 14At siya'y nagkaroon ng apat na pung anak at tatlong pung apo na sumasakay sa pitong pung asno: at siya'y naghukom sa Israel na walong taon. 15At si Abdon na anak ni Hillel na Piratonita ay namatay, at inilibing sa Piraton sa lupain ng Ephraim, sa lupaing maburol ng mga Amalecita.

1The 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!” 2Jephthah 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. 3When I saw that you didn’t save me, I put my life in my hand, and passed over against the children of Ammon, and Yahweh delivered them into my hand. Why then have you come up to me this day, to fight against me?” 4Then Jephthah gathered together all the men of Gilead, and fought with Ephraim; and the men of Gilead struck Ephraim, because they said, “You are fugitives of Ephraim, you Gileadites, in the midst of Ephraim, and in the midst of Manasseh.” 5The Gileadites took the fords of the Jordan against the Ephraimites. It was so, that when the fugitives of Ephraim said, “Let me go over,” the men of Gilead said to him, “Are you an Ephraimite?” If he said, “No”; 6then they said to him, “Now say ‘Shibboleth;’” and he said “Sibboleth”; for he couldn’t manage to pronounce it right: then they seized him, and killed him at the fords of the Jordan. At that time, forty-two thousand of Ephraim fell. 7Jephthah judged Israel six years. Then Jephthah the Gileadite died, and was buried in the cities of Gilead. 8After him Ibzan of Bethlehem judged Israel. 9He had thirty sons; and thirty daughters he sent abroad, and thirty daughters he brought in from abroad for his sons. He judged Israel seven years. 10Ibzan died, and was buried at Bethlehem. 11After him Elon the Zebulunite judged Israel; and he judged Israel ten years. 12Elon the Zebulunite died, and was buried in Aijalon in the land of Zebulun. 13After him Abdon the son of Hillel the Pirathonite judged Israel. 14He had forty sons and thirty sons’ sons, who rode on seventy donkey colts: and he judged Israel eight years. 15Abdon the son of Hillel the Pirathonite died, and was buried in Pirathon in the land of Ephraim, in the hill country of the Amalekites.

1Toen werden de mannen van Efraim bijeengeroepen, en trokken over naar het noorden; en zij zeiden tot Jeftha: Waarom zijt gij doorgetogen om te strijden tegen de kinderen Ammons, en hebt ons niet geroepen, om met u te gaan? wij zullen uw huis met u met vuur verbranden. 2En Jeftha zeide tot hen: Ik en mijn volk waren zeer twistig met de kinderen Ammons; en ik heb ulieden geroepen, maar gij hebt mij uit hun hand niet verlost. 3Als ik nu zag, dat gij niet verlostet, zo stelde ik mijn ziel in mijn hand, en toog door tot de kinderen Ammons, en de HEERE gaf hen in mijn hand; waarom zijt gij dan te dezen dage tot mij opgekomen, om tegen mij te strijden? 4En Jeftha vergaderde alle mannen van Gilead, en streed met Efraim; en de mannen van Gilead sloegen Efraim, want de Gileadieten, zijnde tussen Efraim en tussen Manasse, zeiden: Gijlieden zijt vluchtelingen van Efraim. 5Want de Gileadieten namen de Efraimieten de veren van de Jordaan af; en het geschiedde, als de vluchtelingen van Efraim zeiden: Laat mij overgaan; zo zeiden de mannen van Gilead tot hem: Zijt gij een Efraimiet? wanneer hij zeide: Neen; 6Zo zeiden zij tot hem: Zeg nu Schibboleth; maar hij zeide: Sibbolet, en kon het alzo niet recht spreken; zo grepen zij hem, en versloegen hem aan de veren van de Jordaan, dat te dier tijd van Efraim vielen twee en veertig duizend. 7Jeftha nu richtte Israel zes jaren; en Jeftha, de Gileadiet, stierf, en werd begraven in de steden van Gilead. 8En na hem richtte Israel Ebzan, van Bethlehem. 9En hij had dertig zonen; en hij zond dertig dochteren naar buiten, en bracht dertig dochteren van buiten in voor zijn zonen; en hij richtte Israel zeven jaren. 10Toen stierf Ebzan, en werd begraven te Bethlehem. 11En na hem richtte Israel Elon, de Zebuloniet, en hij richtte Israel tien jaren. 12En Elon, de Zebuloniet, stierf, en werd begraven te Ajalon, in het land van Zebulon. 13En na hem richtte Israel Abdon, een zoon van Hillel, de Pirhathoniet. 14En hij had veertig zonen, en dertig zoons zonen, rijdende op zeventig ezelveulens; en hij richtte Israel acht jaren. 15Toen stierf Abdon, een zoon van Hillel, de Pirhathoniet; en hij werd begraven te Pirhathon, in het land van Efraim, op den berg van den Amalekiet.
