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!”
1ΚΑΙ ἐβόησεν ἀνὴρ Ἐφραίμ, καὶ παρῆλθαν εἰς βορρᾶν καὶ εἶπαν πρὸς Ἰεφθάε· διατὶ παρῆλθες παρατάξασθαι ἐν υἱοῖς Ἀμμὼν καὶ ἡμᾶς οὐ κέκληκας πορευθῆναι μετὰ σοῦ; τὸν οἶκόν σου ἐμπρήσομεν ἐπὶ σὲ ἐν πυρί.
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.
2καὶ εἶπε πρὸς αὐτοὺς Ἰεφθάε· ἀνὴρ μαχητὴς ἤμην ἐγὼ καὶ ὁ λαός μου, καὶ οἱ υἱοὶ Ἀμμὼν σφόδρα· καὶ ἐβόησα ὑμᾶς, καὶ οὐκ ἐσώσατέ με ἐκ χειρὸς αὐτῶν.
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?”
3καὶ εἶδον ὅτι οὐκ εἶ σωτήρ, καὶ ἔθηκα τὴν ψυχήν μου ἐν χειρί μου καὶ παρῆλθον πρὸς υἱοὺς Ἀμμών, καὶ ἔδωκεν αὐτοὺς Κύριος ἐν χειρί μου· καὶ εἰς τί ἀνέβητε ἐπ᾿ ἐμὲ ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ταύτῃ παρατάξασθαι ἐν ἐμοί;
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.”
4καὶ συνέστρεψεν Ἰεφθάε πάντας τοὺς ἄνδρας Γαλαὰδ καὶ παρετάξατο τῷ Ἐφραίμ, καὶ ἐπάταξαν ἄνδρες Γαλαὰδ τὸν Ἐφραίμ, ὅτι εἶπαν, οἱ διασωζόμενοι τοῦ Ἐφραὶμ ἡμεῖς, Γαλαὰδ ἐν μέσῳ τοῦ Ἐφραὶμ καὶ ἐν μέσῳ τοῦ Μανασσῆ.
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,”
5καὶ προκατελάβετο Γαλαὰδ τὰς διαβάσεις τοῦ Ἰορδάνου τοῦ Ἐφραίμ, καὶ εἶπαν αὐτοῖς οἱ διασωζόμενοι Ἐφραίμ· διαβῶμεν, καὶ εἶπαν αὐτοῖς οἱ ἄνδρες Γαλαάδ· μὴ Ἐφραθίτης εἶ; καὶ εἶπεν· οὔ.
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.
6καὶ εἶπαν αὐτῷ· εἶπον δὴ Στάχυς· καὶ οὐ κατεύθυνε τοῦ λαλῆσαι οὕτως. καὶ ἐπελάβοντο αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἔθυσαν αὐτὸν πρὸς τὰς διαβάσεις τοῦ Ἰορδάνου, καὶ ἔπεσαν ἐν τῷ καιρῷ ἐκείνῳ ἀπὸ Ἐφραὶμ δύο καὶ τεσσαράκοντα χιλιάδες.
7Jephthah judged Israel six years, and when he died, he was buried in one of the cities of Gilead.
7καὶ ἔκρινεν Ἰεφθάε τὸν Ἰσραὴλ ἓξ ἔτη. καὶ ἀπέθανεν Ἰεφθάε ὁ Γαλααδίτης, καὶ ἐτάφη ἐν πόλει αὐτοῦ Γαλαάδ.
8After Jephthah, Ibzan of Bethlehem judged Israel.
8Καὶ ἔκρινε μετ᾿ αὐτὸν τὸν Ἰσραὴλ Ἀβαισσὰν ἀπὸ Βαιθλεέμ.
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.
9καὶ ἦσαν αὐτῷ τριάκοντα υἱοὶ καὶ τριάκοντα θυγατέρες, ἃς ἐξαπέστειλεν ἔξω, καὶ τριάκοντα θυγατέρας εἰσήνεγκε τοῖς υἱοῖς αὐτοῦ ἔξωθεν. καὶ ἔκρινε τὸν Ἰσραὴλ ἑπτὰ ἔτη.
10Then Ibzan died, and he was buried in Bethlehem.
10καὶ ἀπέθανεν Ἀβαισσὰν καὶ ἐτάφη ἐν Βαιθλεέμ.
11After Ibzan, Elon the Zebulunite judged Israel ten years.
11καὶ ἔκρινε μετ᾿ αὐτὸν τὸν Ἰσραὴλ Αἰλὼμ ὁ Ζαβουλωνίτης δέκα ἔτη.
12Then Elon the Zebulunite died, and he was buried in Aijalon in the land of Zebulun.
12καὶ ἀπέθανεν Αἰλὼμ ὁ Ζαβουλωνίτης καὶ ἐτάφη ἐν Αἰλὼμ ἐν γῇ Ζαβουλών.
13After Elon, Abdon son of Hillel, from Pirathon, judged Israel.
13καὶ ἔκρινε μετ᾿ αὐτὸν τὸν Ἰσραὴλ Ἀβδὼν υἱὸς Ἐλλὴλ ὁ Φαραθωνίτης.
14He had forty sons and thirty grandsons, who rode on seventy donkeys. And he judged Israel eight years.
14καὶ ἦσαν αὐτῷ τεσσαράκοντα υἱοὶ καὶ τριάκοντα υἱῶν υἱοὶ ἐπιβαίνοντες ἐπὶ ἑβδομήκοντα πώλους. καὶ ἔκρινε τὸν Ἰσραὴλ ὀκτὼ ἔτη.
15Then Abdon son of Hillel, from Pirathon, died, and he was buried at Pirathon in Ephraim, in the hill country of the Amalekites.
15καὶ ἀπέθανεν Ἀβδὼν υἱὸς Ἐλλὴλ ὁ Φαραθωνίτης καὶ ἐτάφη ἐν Φαραθὼν ἐν γῇ Ἐφραὶμ ἐν ὄρει τοῦ Ἀμαλήκ.
