Judges 12
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Septuagint (Greek Old Testament), second edition
1And the men of Ephraim were gathered together, and passed to Zaphon; and they said unto Jephthah: 'Wherefore didst thou pass over to fight against the children of Ammon, and didst not call us to go with thee? we will burn thy house upon thee with fire.'
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.
2And Jephthah said unto them: 'I and my people were at great strife with the children of Ammon; and when I called you, ye saved me not out of their hand.
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.
3And when I saw that ye saved me not, I put my life in my hand, and passed over against the children of Ammon, and the LORD delivered them into my hand; wherefore then are ye come up unto me this day, 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;
4Then Jephthah gathered together all the men of Gilead, and fought with Ephraim; and the men of Gilead smote Ephraim, because they said: 'Ye are fugitives of Ephraim, ye Gileadites, in the midst of Ephraim, and in the midst of 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.
5And the Gileadites took the fords of the Jordan against the Ephraimites; and it was so, that when any of the fugitives of Ephraim said: 'Let me go over,' the men of Gilead said unto him: 'Art thou an Ephraimite?' If he said: 'Nay';
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.
6then said they unto him: 'Say now Shibboleth'; and he said 'Sibboleth'; for he could not frame to pronounce it right; then they laid hold on him, and slew him at the fords of the Jordan; and there fell at that time of Ephraim forty and two thousand.
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.
7And Jephthah judged Israel six years. Then died Jephthah the Gileadite, and 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.
8And after him Ibzan of Beth-lehem judged Israel.
8Καὶ ἔκρινε μετ᾿ αὐτὸν τὸν Ἰσραὴλ Ἀβαισσὰν ἀπὸ Βαιθλεέμ.
9And he had thirty sons, and thirty daughters he sent abroad, and thirty daughters he brought in from abroad for his sons. And he 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.
10and Ibzan died, and was buried at Beth-lehem.
10καὶ ἀπέθανεν Ἀβαισσὰν καὶ ἐτάφη ἐν Βαιθλεέμ.
11And after him Elon the Zebulunite judged Israel; and he judged Israel ten years.
11καὶ ἔκρινε μετ᾿ αὐτὸν τὸν Ἰσραὴλ Αἰλὼμ ὁ Ζαβουλωνίτης δέκα ἔτη.
12And Elon the Zebulunite died, and was buried in Aijalon in the land of Zebulun.
12καὶ ἀπέθανεν Αἰλὼμ ὁ Ζαβουλωνίτης καὶ ἐτάφη ἐν Αἰλὼμ ἐν γῇ Ζαβουλών.
13And after him Abdon the son of Hillel the Pirathonite judged Israel.
13καὶ ἔκρινε μετ᾿ αὐτὸν τὸν Ἰσραὴλ Ἀβδὼν υἱὸς Ἐλλὴλ ὁ Φαραθωνίτης.
14And he had forty sons and thirty sons' sons, that rode on threescore and ten ass colts; 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.
15And Abdon the son of Hillel the Pirathonite died, and was buried in Pirathon in the land of 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.
