士師記 12
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
World English Bible
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。」
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!”
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。
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.
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？」
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 the LORD delivered them into my hand. Why then have you come up to me today, to fight against me?”
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。」
4Then Jephthah gathered together all the men of Gilead, and fought with Ephraim. The men of Gilead struck Ephraim, because they said, “You are fugitives of Ephraim, you Gileadites, in the middle of Ephraim, and in the middle of Manasseh.”
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」，
5The Gileadites took the fords of the Jordan against the Ephraimites. Whenever a fugitive of Ephraim said, “Let me go over,” the men of Gilead said to him, “Are you an Ephraimite?” If he said, “No;”
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。
6then they said to him, “Now say ‘Shibboleth;’” and he said “Sibboleth”; for he couldn’t manage to pronounce it correctly, then they seized him and killed him at the fords of the Jordan. At that time, forty-two thousand of Ephraim fell.
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。
7Jephthah judged Israel six years. Then Jephthah the Gileadite died, and was buried in the cities of Gilead.
8耶弗他 以後，有 伯利恆 人 以比讚 作 以色列 的士師。
8After him Ibzan of Bethlehem judged Israel.
9他有三十個兒子，三十個女兒；女兒都嫁出去了。他給眾子從外鄉娶了三十個媳婦。他作 以色列 的士師七年。
9He had thirty sons. He sent his thirty daughters outside his clan, and he brought in thirty daughters from outside his clan for his sons. He judged Israel seven years.
10以比讚 死了，葬在 伯利恆 。
10Ibzan died, and was buried at Bethlehem.
11以比讚 之後，有 西布倫 人 以倫 ，作 以色列 的士師十年。

12西布倫 人 以倫 死了，葬在 西布倫 地的 亞雅崙 。
12Elon the Zebulunite died, and was buried in Aijalon in the land of Zebulun.
