¹Vtedy svolajúc sa krikom shromaždili sa mužovia Efraimovi a prejdúc na sever povedali Jeftovi: Prečo si prešiel bojovať proti synom Ammonovým a nás si nepovolal, aby sme išli s tebou? Spálime tvoj dom i s tebou ohňom.

¹And the men of Ephraim were gathered together, and passed northward; and they 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 thy house upon thee with fire.

²A Jefta im riekol: Ja som mal veľký spor i môj ľud so synmi Ammonovými a volal som vás, ale ste mi nepomohli vyslobodiť sa z ich ruky.

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

³Preto keď som videl, že mi nepomôžete, položil som svoju dušu do svojej ruky a prešiel som k synom Ammonovým, a Hospodin ich dal do mojej ruky. A tak prečo ste prišli dnes hore ku mne, aby ste bojovali proti mne?

³And when I saw that ye saved me not, I put my life in my hand, and passed over against the children of Ammon, and Jehovah delivered them into my hand: wherefore then are ye come up unto me this day, to fight against me?

⁴Vtedy sobral Jefta všetkých mužov Gileáda a bojoval s Efraimom, a mužovia Gileáda porazili Efraima, lebo vraveli: Ubehlíci Efraimovi ste vy, Gileáďania, medzi Efraimom a medzi Manassesom.

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

⁵A Gileáďania zaujali Efraimovi brody Jordána. A stalo sa, keď povedali ubehlíci Efraimovi: Nech prejdem! riekli mu mužovia Gileáda: Či si ty Efraťan? A keď povedal: Nie som,

⁵And the Gileadites took the fords of the Jordan against the Ephraimites. And it was so, that, when [any of] the fugitives of Ephraim said, Let me go over, the men of Gilead said unto him, Art thou an Ephraimite? If he said, Nay;

⁶riekli mu: Nože povedz: Šibbolet! A on povedal: Sibbolet, lebo nevládal tak vysloviť. Vtedy ho pochytili a zabili ho pri brodoch Jordána. A tak padlo toho času z Efraima štyridsaťdva tisíc mužov.

⁶then said they unto him, Say now Shibboleth; and he said Sibboleth; for he could not frame to pronounce it right: then they laid hold on him, and slew him at the fords of the Jordan. And there fell at that time of Ephraim forty and two thousand.

⁷A Jefta súdil Izraela šesť rokov. A tak zomrel Jefta Gileádsky a je pochovaný v ktoromsi meste Gileáda.

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

⁸Po ňom súdil Izraela Ibcán z Betlehema.

⁸And after him Ibzan of Beth-lehem judged Israel.

⁹A mal tridsať synov a tridsať dcér, ktoré povydával von z domu, a tridsať dcér doviedol odinakiaľ svojim synom a súdil Izraela sedem rokov.

⁹And he had thirty sons; and thirty daughters he sent abroad, and thirty daughters he brought in from abroad for his sons. And he judged Israel seven years.

¹⁰A keď zomrel Ibcán, pochovali ho v Betleheme.

¹⁰And Ibzan died, and was buried at Beth-lehem.

¹¹A po ňom súdil Izraela Élon Zabulonský a súdil Izraela desať rokov.

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

¹²A keď zomrel Élon Zabulonský, pochovali ho v Ajjalone, v zemi Zabulonovej.

¹²And Elon the Zebulunite died, and was buried in Aijalon in the land of Zebulun.

¹³A po ňom súdil Izraela Abdón, syn Hillelov, Piratonský.

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

¹⁴A mal štyridsiatich synov a tridsať vnukov, ktorí jazdili na sedemdesiatich mladých osloch. A súdil Izraela osem rokov.

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

¹⁵A keď zomrel Abdón, syn Hillelov, Piratonský, pochovali ho v Piratone, v zemi Efraimovej, na Amalechitskom vrchu.

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.
