Chapter 12

And the men of Ephraim gathered themselves together, and went northward, and said unto Jephthah, Wherefore passedst thou over to fight against the children of Ammon, and didst not call us to go with thee? we will burn thine house upon thee with fire.

Então os homens de Efraim se congregaram, passaram para Zafom e disseram a Jefté: Por que passaste a combater contra os amonitas, e não nos chamaste para irmos contigo? Queimaremos a fogo a tua casa contigo.   

And Jephthah said unto them, I and my people were at great strife with the children of Ammon; and when I called you, ye delivered me not out of their hands.

Disse-lhes Jefté: Eu e o meu povo tivemos grande contenda com os amonitas; e quando vos chamei, não me livrastes da sua mão.   

And when I saw that ye delivered me not, I put my life in my hands, 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?

Vendo eu que não me livráveis, arrisquei a minha vida e fui de encontro aos amonitas, e o Senhor mos entregou nas mãos; por que, pois, subistes vós hoje para combater contra mim?   

Then Jephthah gathered together all the men of Gilead, and fought with Ephraim: and the men of Gilead smote Ephraim, because they said, Ye Gileadites are fugitives of Ephraim among the Ephraimites, and among the Manassites.

Depois ajuntou Jefté todos os homens de Gileade, e combateu contra Efraim, e os homens de Gileade feriram a Efraim; porque este lhes dissera: Fugitivos sois de Efraim, vós gileaditas que habitais entre Efraim e Manassés.   

And the Gileadites took the passages of Jordan before the Ephraimites: and it was so, that when those Ephraimites which were escaped said, Let me go over; that the men of Gilead said unto him, Art thou an Ephraimite? If he said, Nay;

E tomaram os gileaditas aos efraimitas os vaus do Jordão; e quando algum dos fugitivos de Efraim diza: Deixai-me passar; então os homens de Gileade lhe perguntavam: És tu efraimita? E dizendo ele: Não;   

Then said they unto him, Say now Shibboleth: and he said Sibboleth: for he could not frame to pronounce it right. Then they took him, and slew him at the passages of Jordan: and there fell at that time of the Ephraimites forty and two thousand.

então lhe diziam: Dize, pois, Chibolete; porém ele dizia: Sibolete, porque não o podia pronunciar bem. Então pegavam dele, e o degolavam nos vaus do Jordão. Cairam de Efraim naquele tempo quarenta e dois mil.   

And Jephthah judged Israel six years. Then died Jephthah the Gileadite, and was buried in one of the cities of Gilead.

Jefté julgou a Israel seis anos; e morreu Jefté, o gileadita, e foi sepultado numa das cidades de Gileade.   

And after him Ibzan of Bethlehem judged Israel.

Depois dele julgou a Israel Ibzã de Belém.   

And he had thirty sons, and thirty daughters, whom he sent abroad, and took in thirty daughters from abroad for his sons. And he judged Israel seven years.

Tinha este trinta filhos, e trinta filhas que casou fora; e trinta filhas trouxe de fora para seus filhos. E julgou a Israel sete anos.   

Then died Ibzan, and was buried at Bethlehem.

Morreu Ibzã, e foi sepultado em Belém.   

And after him Elon, a Zebulonite, judged Israel; and he judged Israel ten years.

Depois dele Elom, o zebulonita, julgou a Israel dez anos.   

And Elon the Zebulonite died, and was buried in Aijalon in the country of Zebulun.

Morreu Elom, o zebulonita, e foi sepultado em Aijalom, na terra de Zebulom.   

And after him Abdon the son of Hillel, a Pirathonite, judged Israel.

Depois dele julgou a Israel Abdom, filho de Hilel, o piratonita.   

And he had forty sons and thirty nephews, that rode on threescore and ten ass colts: and he judged Israel eight years.

Tinha este quarenta filhos e trinta netos, que cavalgavam sobre setenta jumentos. E julgou a Israel oito anos.   

And Abdon the son of Hillel the Pirathonite died, and was buried in Pirathon in the land of Ephraim, in the mount of the Amalekites.

Morreu Abdom, filho de Hilel, o piratonita, e foi sepultado em Piratom, na terra de Efraim, na região montanhosa dos amalequitas.
