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!”

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!'

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.

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

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?”

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?'

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.”

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.'

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”;

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!',

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.

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.

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

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

⁸After him Ibzan of Bethlehem judged Israel.

⁸Ja pärast teda mõistis Iisraelile kohut Ibsan Petlemmast.

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.

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

¹⁰Ibzan died, and was buried at Bethlehem.

¹⁰Siis Ibsan suri ja ta maeti Petlemma.

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

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

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

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

¹³After him Abdon the son of Hillel the Pirathonite judged Israel.

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

¹⁴He had forty sons and thirty sons’ sons, who rode on seventy donkey colts: and he judged Israel eight years.

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

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.

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