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!”
1واجتمع رجال افرايم وعبروا الى جهة الشمال وقالوا ليفتاح لماذا عبرت لمحاربة بني عمون ولم تدعنا للذهاب معك. نحرق بيتك عليك بنار.
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.
2فقال لهم يفتاح. صاحب خصام شديد كنت انا وشعبي مع بني عمون وناديتكم فلم تخلصوني من يدهم.
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 Yahweh delivered them into my hand. Why then have you come up to 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 struck Ephraim, because they said, “You are fugitives of Ephraim, you Gileadites, in the midst of Ephraim, and in the midst of Manasseh.”
4وجمع يفتاح كل رجال جلعاد وحارب افرايم فضرب رجال جلعاد افرايم لانهم قالوا. انتم منفلتو افرايم. جلعاد بين افرايم ومنسّى.
5The Gileadites took the fords of the Jordan against the Ephraimites. It was so, that when the fugitives of Ephraim said, “Let me go over,” the men of Gilead said to him, “Are you an Ephraimite?” If he said, “No”;
5فاخذ الجلعاديون مخاوض الاردن لافرايم وكان اذ قال منفلتو افرايم دعوني اعبر. كان رجال جلعاد يقولون له أانت افرايمي فان قال لا
6then they said to him, “Now say ‘Shibboleth;’” and he said “Sibboleth”; for he couldn’t manage to pronounce it right: then they siezed him, and killed him at the fords of the Jordan. At that time, forty-two thousand of Ephraim fell.
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.
7Jephthah judged Israel six years. Then Jephthah the Gileadite died, and was buried in the cities of Gilead.
7وقضى يفتاح لاسرائيل ست سنين. ومات يفتاح الجلعادي ودفن في احدى مدن جلعاد
8After him Ibzan of Bethlehem judged Israel.
8وقضى بعده لاسرائيل ابصان من بيت لحم.
9He had thirty sons; and thirty daughters he sent abroad, and thirty daughters he brought in from abroad for his sons. He judged Israel seven years.
9وكان له ثلاثون ابنا وثلاثون ابنة ارسلهنّ الى الخارج وأتى من الخارج بثلاثين ابنة لبنيه وقضى لاسرائيل سبع سنين.
10Ibzan died, and was buried at Bethlehem.

11After him Elon the Zebulunite judged Israel; and he judged Israel ten years.
11وقضى بعده لاسرائيل ايلون الزبولوني. قضى لاسرائيل عشر سنين.
12Elon the Zebulunite died, and was buried in Aijalon in the land of Zebulun.
12ومات ايلون الزبولوني ودفن في ايلون في ارض زبولون
13After him Abdon the son of Hillel the Pirathonite judged Israel.
13وقضى بعده لاسرائيل عبدون بن هلّيل الفرعتوني.
14He had forty sons and thirty sons’ sons, who rode on seventy donkey colts: and he judged Israel eight years.
14وكان له اربعون ابنا وثلاثون حفيدا يركبون على سبعين جحشا قضى لاسرائيل ثماني سنين.
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.
