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!”

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.

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.

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.

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?”

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?

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.”

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.

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”;

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,

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.

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.

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

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

⁸After him Ibzan of Bethlehem judged Israel.

⁸Po ňom súdil Izraela Ibcán z Betlehema.

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.

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

¹⁰Ibzan died, and was buried at Bethlehem.

¹⁰A keď zomrel Ibcán, pochovali ho v Betleheme.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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