Juízes 12

1Então se convocaram os homens de Efraim, e passaram para o norte, e disseram a Jefté: Por que passaste a combater contra os filhos de Amom, e não nos chamaste para ir contigo? Queimaremos a fogo a tua casa contigo.

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. {gathered...: Heb. were called}

2E Jefté lhes disse: Eu e o meu povo tivemos grande contenda com os filhos de Amom; e chamei-vos, e não me livrastes da sua mão;

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.

3E, vendo eu que não me livráveis, arrisquei a minha vida, e passei contra os filhos de Amom, e o Senhor mos entregou nas mãos; por que, pois, subistes vós hoje, para combater contra mim?

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?

4E ajuntou Jefté a todos os homens de Gileade, e combateu contra Efraim; e os homens de Gileade feriram a Efraim; porque este dissera-lhe: Fugitivos sois de Efraim, vós gileaditas que habitais entre Efraim e Manassés,

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.

5Porque tomaram os gileaditas aos efraimitas os vaus do Jordão; e sucedeu que, quando algum dos fugitivos de Efraim dizia: Deixai-me passar; então os gileaditas perguntavam: És tu efraimita? E dizendo ele: Não,

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;

6Então 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; e caíram de Efraim naquele tempo quarenta e dois mil.

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.

7E Jefté julgou a Israel seis anos; e Jefté, o gileadita, faleceu, e foi sepultado numa das cidades de Gileade.

7And Jephthah judged Israel six years. Then died Jephthah the Gileadite, and was buried in {one of} the cities of Gilead.

8E depois dele julgou a Israel Ibzã de Belém.

8And after him Ibzan of Bethlehem judged Israel.

9E 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.

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.

10Então faleceu Ibzã, e foi sepultado em Belém.

10Then died Ibzan, and was buried at Bethlehem.

11E depois dele julgou a Israel Elom, o zebulonita; e julgou a Israel dez anos.

11And after him Elon, a Zebulonite, judged Israel; and he judged Israel ten years.

12E faleceu Elom, o zebulonita, e foi sepultado em Aijalom, na terra de Zebulom.

12And Elon the Zebulonite died, and was buried in Aijalon in the country of Zebulun.

13E depois dele julgou a Israel Abdom, filho de Hilel, o piratonita.

13And after him Abdon the son of Hillel, a Pirathonite, judged Israel.

14E tinha este quarenta filhos, e trinta netos, que cavalgavam sobre setenta jumentos; e julgou a Israel oito anos.

14And he had forty sons and thirty nephews, that rode on threescore and ten ass colts: and he judged Israel eight years. {nephews: Heb. sons' sons}

15Então faleceu Abdom, filho de Hilel, o piratonita; e foi sepultado em Piratom, na terra de Efraim, no monte dos amalequitas.

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.
