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.

¹واجتمع رجال افرايم وعبروا الى جهة الشمال وقالوا ليفتاح لماذا عبرت لمحاربة بني عمون ولم تدعنا للذهاب معك. نحرق بيتك عليك بنار.

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.

²فقال لهم يفتاح. صاحب خصام شديد كنت انا وشعبي مع بني عمون وناديتكم فلم تخلصوني من يدهم.

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?

³ولما رأيت انكم لا تخلصون وضعت نفسي في يدي وعبرت الى بني عمون فدفعهم الرب ليدي. فلماذا صعدتم عليّ اليوم هذا لمحاربتي.

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.

⁴وجمع يفتاح كل رجال جلعاد وحارب افرايم فضرب رجال جلعاد افرايم لانهم قالوا. انتم منفلتو افرايم. جلعاد بين افرايم ومنسّى.

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;

⁵فاخذ الجلعاديون مخاوض الاردن لافرايم وكان اذ قال منفلتو افرايم دعوني اعبر. كان رجال جلعاد يقولون له أانت افرايمي فان قال لا

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.

⁶كانوا يقولون له قل اذا شبولت فيقول سبولت ولم يتحفظ للفظ بحق. فكانوا يأخذونه ويذبحونه على مخاوض الاردن. فسقط في ذلك الوقت من افرايم اثنان واربعون الفا.

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

⁷وقضى يفتاح لاسرائيل ست سنين. ومات يفتاح الجلعادي ودفن في احدى مدن جلعاد

⁸And after him Ibzan of Bethlehem judged Israel.

⁸وقضى بعده لاسرائيل ابصان من بيت لحم.

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.

⁹وكان له ثلاثون ابنا وثلاثون ابنة ارسلهنّ الى الخارج وأتى من الخارج بثلاثين ابنة لبنيه وقضى لاسرائيل سبع سنين.

¹⁰Then died Ibzan, and was buried at Bethlehem.

¹⁰ومات ابصان ودفن في بيت لحم

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

¹¹وقضى بعده لاسرائيل ايلون الزبولوني. قضى لاسرائيل عشر سنين.

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

¹²ومات ايلون الزبولوني ودفن في ايلون في ارض زبولون

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

¹³وقضى بعده لاسرائيل عبدون بن هلّيل الفرعتوني.

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

¹⁴وكان له اربعون ابنا وثلاثون حفيدا يركبون على سبعين جحشا قضى لاسرائيل ثماني سنين.

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.

¹⁵ومات عبدون بن هلّيل الفرعتوني ودفن في فرعتون في ارض افرايم في جبل العمالقة
