Съдии 12
Библия, нов превод от оригиналните езици (с неканоничните книги)
Победи на Йефтай
12 (A)Тогава мъжете от Ефремовото племе се събраха, потеглиха към Цафон и казаха на Йефтай: „Ти защо ходи да воюваш против амонците, а нас не повика да дойдем с тебе? Ние с огън ще изгорим къщата ти заедно с тебе.“ 2 Йефтай им отговори: „Само аз и моят народ имахме голям спор с амонците. Аз ви повиках, но вие не ме освободихте от властта им. 3 Като видях, че вие няма да ме освободите, изложих живота си на опасност и тръгнах на бой срещу амонците, и Господ ги предаде под моя власт. А сега защо сте дошли при мене днес – да започнете битка ли?“ 4 Тогава Йефтай събра всички галаадски мъже и влезе в битка с Ефремовото племе. Галаадските мъже избиха ефремците. А ефремците бяха казали: „Вие сте бежанци от Ефремовото племе, а Галаад е посред Ефремовото и Манасиевото племе.“ 5 (B)Галаадците завзеха бродовете, водещи през Йордан към областта на Ефремовото племе. А когато някой от ефремските бегълци кажеше: „Позволете ми да премина“, тогава галаадските мъже му отговаряха: „Ти не си ли ефремец?“ Когато такъв кажеше: „Не“, 6 (C)те му нареждаха: „Кажи шиболет“, а той казваше: „Сиболет“, защото не можеше да го произнесе правилно. Тогава те го хващаха и заколваха при бродовете през Йордан. По онова време от ефремците паднаха убити четиридесет и две хиляди мъже.
7 Йефтай управляваше като съдия над Израил в продължение на шест години. След това галаадецът Йефтай умря и беше погребан в един от галаадските градове.
Десети съдия – Есевон
8 След него като съдия над Израил беше въздигнат Есевон от Витлеем. 9 Той имаше тридесет синове и тридесет дъщери, които омъжи извън дома си, а взе отвън тридесет снахи за синовете си. Той управляваше като съдия над Израил в продължение на седем години. 10 След това Есевон умря и беше погребан във Витлеем.
Единадесети съдия – Елон
11 (D)След него като съдия над Израил беше въздигнат Елон от Завулоновото племе. Той управляваше като съдия над Израил в продължение на десет години. 12 След това завулонецът Елон умря и беше погребан в Айалон, в областта на Завулоновото племе.
Дванадесети съдия – Авдон
13 След него като съдия над Израил беше въздигнат Авдон, син на пиратонеца Хилела. 14 (E)Той имаше четиридесет синове и тридесет внуци, които яздеха на седемдесет осела. Той управляваше като съдия над Израил в продължение на осем години. 15 След това Авдон, син на Хилела от Пиратон, умря и беше погребан в Пиратон, в областта на Ефремовото племе, в Амаликовата планина.
Judges 12
The Message
12 The men of Ephraim mustered their troops, crossed to Zaphon, and said to Jephthah, “Why did you go out to fight the Ammonites without letting us go with you? We’re going to burn your house down on you!”
2-3 Jephthah said, “I and my people had our hands full negotiating with the Ammonites. And I did call to you for help but you ignored me. When I saw that you weren’t coming, I took my life in my hands and confronted the Ammonites myself. And God gave them to me! So why did you show up here today? Are you spoiling for a fight with me?”
4 So Jephthah got his Gilead troops together and fought Ephraim. And the men of Gilead hit them hard because they were saying, “Gileadites are nothing but half breeds and rejects from Ephraim and Manasseh.”
5-6 Gilead captured the fords of the Jordan at the crossing to Ephraim. If an Ephraimite fugitive said, “Let me cross,” the men of Gilead would ask, “Are you an Ephraimite?” and he would say, “No.” And they would say, “Say, ‘Shibboleth.’” But he would always say, “Sibboleth”—he couldn’t say it right. Then they would grab him and kill him there at the fords of the Jordan. Forty-two Ephraimite divisions were killed on that occasion.
7 Jephthah judged Israel six years. Jephthah the Gileadite died and was buried in his city, Mizpah of Gilead.
Ibzan
8-9 After him, Ibzan of Bethlehem judged Israel. He had thirty sons and thirty daughters. He gave his daughters in marriage outside his clan and brought in thirty daughters-in-law from the outside for his sons.
10 He judged Israel seven years. Ibzan died and was buried in Bethlehem.
Elon
11-12 After him, Elon the Zebulunite judged Israel. He judged Israel ten years. Elon the Zebulunite died and was buried at Aijalon in the land of Zebulun.
Abdon
13-15 After him, Abdon son of Hillel the Pirathonite judged Israel. He had forty sons and thirty grandsons who rode on seventy donkeys. He judged Israel eight years. Abdon son of Hillel the Pirathonite died and was buried at Pirathon in the land of Ephraim in the Amalekite hill country.
Judges 12
Amplified Bible, Classic Edition
12 The men of Ephraim were summoned together and they crossed to Zaphon and said to Jephthah, Why did you cross over to fight with the Ammonites and did not summon us to go with you? We will burn your house over you with fire.
2 And Jephthah said to them, I and my people were in a severe conflict with the Ammonites, and I when I called you, you did not rescue me from their hands.
3 And when I saw that you would not rescue me, I put my life in my hands and crossed over against the Ammonites, and the Lord delivered them into my hand. Why then have you come up to me this day to fight against me?
4 Then Jephthah gathered all the men of Gilead and fought with Ephraim; and the men of Gilead smote Ephraim because they had said, You Gileadites are fugitives of Ephraim in the midst of Ephraim and Manasseh.
5 And the Gileadites took the fords of the Jordan before the Ephraimites; and when any of those Ephraimites who had escaped said, Let me go over, the men of Gilead said to him, Are you an Ephraimite? If he said, No,
6 They said to him, Then say Shibboleth; and he said, Sibboleth, for he could not pronounce it right. Then they seized him and slew him at the fords of the Jordan. And there fell at that time 42,000 of the Ephraimites.
7 Jephthah judged Israel six years. Then Jephthah the Gileadite died and was buried in one of the cities of Gilead.
8 And after him Ibzan of Bethlehem judged Israel.
9 And he had thirty sons and thirty daughters whom he gave [to husbands] outside his tribe, and thirty daughters [daughters-in-law] whom he brought in from outside his tribe for his sons. And he judged Israel seven years.
10 Then Ibzan died and was buried at Bethlehem.
11 After him Elon the Zebulunite judged Israel, and he judged Israel ten years.
12 Then Elon the Zebulunite died and was buried at Aijalon in the land of Zebulun.
13 And after him Abdon son of Hillel the Pirathonite judged Israel.
14 And he had forty sons and thirty grandsons who rode on seventy donkey colts; and he judged Israel eight years.
15 Then Abdon son of Hillel the Pirathonite died, and was buried at Pirathon in the land of Ephraim, in the hill country of the Amalekites.
