Jueces 12
Riveduta 1927
1Or gli uomini di Efraim si radunarono, passarono a Tsafon, e dissero a Jefte: “Perché sei andato a combattere contro i figliuoli di Ammon e non ci hai chiamati ad andar teco? Noi bruceremo la tua casa e te con essa”.
2Jefte rispose loro: “Io e il mio popolo abbiamo avuto gran contesa coi figliuoli di Ammon; e quando v’ho chiamati in aiuto, non mi avete liberato dalle loro mani.
3E vedendo che voi non venivate in mio soccorso, ho posto a repentaglio la mia vita, ho marciato contro i figliuoli di Ammon, e l’Eterno me li ha dati nelle mani. Perché dunque siete saliti oggi contro di me per muovermi guerra?”
4Poi Jefte, radunati tutti gli uomini di Galaad, diè battaglia ad Efraim; e gli uomini di Galaad sconfissero gli Efraimiti, perché questi dicevano: “Voi, Galaaditi, siete de’ fuggiaschi d’Efraim, in mezzo ad Efraim e in mezzo a Manasse!”
5E i Galaaditi intercettarono i guadi del Giordano agli Efraimiti; e quando uno de’ fuggiaschi d’Efraim diceva: “Lasciatemi passare”, gli uomini di Galaad gli chiedevano: “Sei tu un Efraimita?” Se quello rispondeva: “No”, i Galaaditi gli dicevano:
6“Ebbene, di’ Scibboleth”; e quello diceva “Sibboleth”, senza fare attenzione a pronunziar bene; allora lo pigliavano e lo scannavano presso i guadi del Giordano. E perirono in quel tempo quarantaduemila uomini d’Efraim.
7Jefte fu giudice d’Israele per sei anni. Poi Jefte, il Galaadita, morì e fu sepolto in una delle città di Galaad.
8Dopo di lui fu giudice d’Israele Ibtsan di Bethlehem,
9che ebbe trenta figliuoli, maritò fuori trenta figliuole, condusse di fuori trenta fanciulle per i suoi figliuoli. Fu giudice d’Israele per sette anni.
10Poi Ibtsan morì e fu sepolto a Bethlehem.
11Dopo di lui fu giudice d’Israele Elon, lo Zabulonita; fu giudice d’Israele per dieci anni.
12Poi Elon, lo Zabulonita, morì e fu sepolto ad Aialon, nel paese di Zabulon.
13Dopo di lui fu giudice d’Israele Abdon, figliuolo di Hillel, il Pirathonita.
14Ebbe quaranta figliuoli e trenta nipoti, i quali cavalcavano settanta asinelli. Fu giudice d’Israele per otto anni.
15Poi Abdon, figliuolo di Hillel, il Pirathonita, morì e fu sepolto a Pirathon, nel paese di Efraim, sul monte Amalek.
Reina-Valera 1909
1Y JUNTÁNDOSE los varones de Ephraim, pasaron hacia el aquilón, y dijeron á Jephté: ¿Por qué fuiste á hacer guerra contra los hijos de Ammón, y no nos llamaste para que fuéramos contigo? Nosotros quemaremos á fuego tu casa contigo.
2Y Jephté les respondió: Yo tuve, y mi pueblo, una gran contienda con los hijos de Ammón, y os llamé, y no me defendisteis de sus manos.
3Viendo pues que no me defendíais, puse mi alma en mi palma, y pasé contra los hijos de Ammón, y Jehová los entregó en mi mano: ¿por qué pues habéis subido hoy contra mí para pelear conmigo?
4Y juntando Jephté á todos los varones de Galaad, peleó contra Ephraim; y los de Galaad hirieron á Ephraim, porque habían dicho: Vosotros sois fugitivos de Ephraim, vosotros sois Galaaditas entre Ephraim y Manasés.
5Y los Galaaditas tomaron los vados del Jordán á Ephraim; y era que, cuando alguno de los de Ephraim que había huído, decía, ¿pasaré? los de Galaad le preguntaban: ¿Eres tú Ephrateo? Si él respondía, No;
6Entonces le decían: Ahora pues, di, Shiboleth. Y él decía, Siboleth; porque no podía pronunciar de aquella suerte. Entonces le echaban mano, y le degollaban junto á los vados del Jordán. Y murieron entonces de los de Ephraim cuarenta y dos mil.
7Y Jephté juzgó á Israel seis años: luego murió Jephté Galaadita, y fué sepultado en una de las ciudades de Galaad.
8Después de él juzgó á Israel Ibzan de Beth-lehem;
9El cual tuvo treinta hijos y treinta hijas, las cuales casó fuera, y tomó de fuera treinta hijas para sus hijos: y juzgó á Israel siete años.
10Y murió Ibzan, y fué sepultado en Beth-lehem.
11Después de él juzgó á Israel Elón, Zabulonita, el cual juzgó á Israel diez años.
12Y murió Elón, Zabulonita, y fué sepultado en Ajalón en la tierra de Zabulón.
13Después de él juzgó á Israel Abdón hijo de Hillel, Piratonita.
14Este tuvo cuarenta hijos y treinta nietos, que cabalgaban sobre setenta asnos: y juzgó á Israel ocho años.
15Y murió Abdón hijo de Hillel, Piratonita, y fué sepultado en Piratón, en la tierra de Ephraim, en el monte de Amalec.
King James Version
1And 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.
2And 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.
3And 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?
4Then 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.
5And 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;
6Then 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.
7And Jephthah judged Israel six years. Then died Jephthah the Gileadite, and was buried in one of the cities of Gilead.
8And after him Ibzan of Beth-lehem judged Israel.
9And 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.
10Then died Ibzan, and was buried at Beth-lehem.
11And after him Elon, a Zebulonite, judged Israel; and he judged Israel ten years.
12And Elon the Zebulonite died, and was buried in Aijalon in the country of Zebulun.
13And after him Abdon the son of Hillel, a Pirathonite, judged Israel.
14And he had forty sons and thirty nephews, that rode on threescore and ten ass colts: and he judged Israel eight years.
15And Abdon the son of Hillel the Pirathonite died, and was buried in Pirathon in the land of Ephraim, in the mount of the Amalekites.
World English Bible
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 the LORD delivered them into my hand. Why then have you come up to me today, to fight against me?”
4Then 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.”
5The 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;”
6then 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.
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. 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.
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. 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.
