Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
1Then the men of Ephraim assembled and crossed the Jordan to Zaphon. They said to Jephthah, “Why have you crossed over to fight the Ammonites without calling us to go with you? We will burn your house down with you inside!”
1以法蓮 人聚集，到了北方，對 耶弗他 說：「你去與 亞捫 人爭戰，為甚麼沒有招我們同去呢？我們必用火燒你和你的房屋。」
2But Jephthah replied, “My people and I had a serious conflict with the Ammonites, and when I called, you did not save me out of their hands.
2耶弗他 對他們說：「我和我的民與 亞捫 人大大爭戰；我招你們來，你們竟沒有來救我脫離他們的手。
3When I saw that you would not save me, I risked my life and crossed over to the Ammonites, and the LORD delivered them into my hand. Why then have you come today to fight against me?”
3我見你們不來救我，我就拚命前去攻擊 亞捫 人，耶和華將他們交在我手中。你們今日為甚麼上我這裏來攻打我呢？」
4Jephthah then gathered all the men of Gilead and fought against Ephraim. And the men of Gilead struck them down because the Ephraimites had said, “You Gileadites are fugitives in Ephraim, living in the territories of Ephraim and Manasseh.”
4於是 耶弗他 招聚 基列 人，與 以法蓮 人爭戰。 基列 人擊殺 以法蓮 人，是因他們說：「你們 基列 人在 以法蓮 、 瑪拿西 中間，不過是 以法蓮 逃亡的人。」
5The Gileadites captured the fords of the Jordan leading to Ephraim, and whenever a fugitive from Ephraim would say, “Let me cross over,” the Gileadites would ask him, “Are you an Ephraimite?” If he answered, “No,”
5基列 人把守 約旦河 的渡口，不容 以法蓮 人過去。 以法蓮 逃走的人若說：「容我過去。」 基列 人就問他說：「你是 以法蓮 人不是？」他若說：「不是」，
6they told him, “Please say Shibboleth.” If he said, “Sibboleth,” because he could not pronounce it correctly, they seized him and killed him at the fords of the Jordan. So at that time 42,000 Ephraimites were killed.
6就對他說：「你說『示播列』。」 以法蓮 人因為咬不真字音，便說「西播列」。 基列 人就將他拿住，殺在 約旦河 的渡口。那時 以法蓮 人被殺的有四萬二千人。
7Jephthah judged Israel six years, and when he died, he was buried in one of the cities of Gilead.
7耶弗他 作 以色列 的士師六年。 基列 人 耶弗他 死了，葬在 基列 的一座城裏。
8After Jephthah, Ibzan of Bethlehem judged Israel.

9He had thirty sons, as well as thirty daughters whom he gave in marriage to men outside his clan; and for his sons he brought back thirty wives from elsewhere. Ibzan judged Israel seven years.
