¹Aga Efraimi mehed hüüti kokku ja nad läksid põhja poole ning ütlesid Jeftale: 'Mispärast sa läksid sõdima ammonlaste vastu ega kutsunud meid, et oleksime tulnud koos sinuga? Me põletame tulega sinu koja su pealt!'

¹And the men of Ephraim were called together, and passed over northwards, and said to Jephthah, Why didst thou pass over to fight against the children of Ammon, and didst not call us to go with thee? We will burn thy house upon thee with fire.

²Ja Jefta vastas neile: 'Minul ja mu rahval oli suur riid ammonlastega; siis ma hüüdsin teid, aga te ei päästnud mind nende käest.

²And Jephthah said to them, I was at great strife, I and my people, with the children of Ammon; and I called you, but ye saved me not out of their hand.

³Ja kui ma nägin, et päästjaid ei olnud, siis ma võtsin oma elu iseenese kätte ning läksin ammonlaste vastu ja Issand andis nad minu kätte. Miks tulete nüüd minu juurde ja sõdite minu vastu?'

³And when I saw that ye would not save me, I put my life in my hand, and passed over against the children of Ammon, and Jehovah gave them into my hand. Why then are ye come up to me this day, to fight against me?

⁴Ja Jefta kogus kokku kõik Gileadi mehed ning sõdis Efraimi vastu; ja Gileadi mehed lõid Efraimi, kes oli öelnud: 'Te olete Efraimist ära jooksnud. Gilead on keset Efraimi ja keset Manasset.'

⁴And Jephthah gathered together all the men of Gilead, and fought with Ephraim; and the men of Gilead smote Ephraim, because they said, Ye, Gilead, ye are fugitives of Ephraim in the midst of Ephraim, [and] in the midst of Manasseh.

⁵Ja Gilead vallutas Jordani koolmed Efraimi poole; kui siis mõni Efraimi põgenik ütles: 'Lase ma lähen üle!', küsisid Gileadi mehed temalt: 'Kas sa oled efraimlane?' Ja kui ta vastas: 'Ei!',

⁵And Gilead took the fords of the Jordan before Ephraim; and it came to pass that when the fugitives of Ephraim said, Let me go over, the men of Gilead said to him, Art thou an Ephraimite? and he said, No.

⁶ütlesid nad temale: 'Ütle siis: Ðibbolet!'; ütles ta aga: 'Sibbolet', sellepärast et ta ei osanud õigesti hääldada, võtsid nad ta kinni ja tapsid Jordani koolmete juures. Nõnda langes sel ajal Efraimist nelikümmend kaks tuhat.

⁶Then they said to him, Say now Shibboleth! and he said, Sibboleth, and did not manage to pronounce [it] rightly. Then they took him, and slaughtered him at the fords of the Jordan. And there fell at that time of Ephraim forty-two thousand.

⁷Ja Jefta mõistis Iisraelile kohut kuus aastat; siis gileadlane Jefta suri ja ta maeti oma linna Gileadis.

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

⁸Ja pärast teda mõistis Iisraelile kohut Ibsan Petlemmast.

⁸And after him Ibzan of Bethlehem judged Israel.

⁹Temal oli kolmkümmend poega; ta pani kolmkümmend tütart väljapoole mehele ja tõi oma poegadele kolmkümmend tütart väljastpoolt; ta mõistis Iisraelile kohut seitse aastat.

⁹And he had thirty sons; and thirty daughters he sent out of the house, and thirty daughters he took in from abroad for his sons. And he judged Israel seven years.

¹⁰Siis Ibsan suri ja ta maeti Petlemma.

¹⁰And Ibzan died, and was buried at Bethlehem.

¹¹Ja pärast teda mõistis Iisraelile kohut Eelon, sebulonlane; tema mõistis Iisraelile kohut kümme aastat.

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

¹²Siis sebulonlane Eelon suri ja ta maeti Ajjalonisse Sebuloni maale.

¹²And Elon the Zebulonite died, and was buried in Ajalon in the land of Zebulun.

¹³Ja pärast teda mõistis Iisraelile kohut Abdon, Hilleli poeg, piraatonlane.

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

¹⁴Temal oli nelikümmend poega ja kolmkümmend pojapoega, kes ratsutasid seitsmekümne eesli seljas; tema mõistis Iisraelile kohut kaheksa aastat.

¹⁴And he had forty sons and thirty grandsons, who rode on seventy ass colts. And he judged Israel eight years.

¹⁵Siis piraatonlane Abdon, Hilleli poeg, suri ja ta maeti Piraatonisse, Efraimi maale amalekkide mäestikku.

¹⁵And Abdon the son of Hillel, the Pirathonite, died, and was buried in Pirathon in the land of Ephraim, in the hill-country of the Amalekites.
