Judges 12

NEW JERUSALEM	SAGRADA BIBLIA
1 The men of Ephraim mobilised; they crossed the Jordan near Zaphon and said to Jephthah, 'Why didyou go and make war on the Ammonites without asking us to go with you? We shal burn down your house overyour head!'	1 Os efraimitas, tendo-se sublevado, passaram a Safon e disseram a Jefté: Por que saíste a combater os amonitas, sem nos chamar para irmos contigo? Por isso vamos queimar a tua casa.
2 Jephthah replied, 'My people and I were in serious conflict with the Ammonites. I summoned you, butyou did not come to rescue me from them.	2 Jefté respondeu: Eu e meu povo tivemos graves contendas com os amonitas; chamei-vos e vós não me livrastes de suas mãos.
3 When I saw that no one was coming to rescue me, I took my life in my hands and marched against theAmmonites, and Yahweh handed them over to me. So why advance on me today to make war on me?'	3 Vendo que não podia contar convosco, arrisquei a minha vida marchando {sozinho} contra os amonitas, e o Senhor entregou-os nas minhas mãos. Por que, pois, viestes contender comigo?
4 Jephthah then mustered al the men of Gilead and made war on Ephraim, and the men of Gileaddefeated Ephraim -- since the latter used to say, 'You are only fugitives from Ephraim, you Gileadites in the heartof Ephraim and Manasseh.'	4 Jefté reuniu todos os homens de Galaad e combateu contra Efraim. Os habitantes de Galaad derrotaram os de Efraim, que lhes haviam dito: Vós sois fugitivos de Efraim que habitais entre Efraim e Manassés!
5 Gilead then cut Ephraim off from the fords of the Jordan, and whenever Ephraimite fugitives said, 'Letme cross,' the men of Gilead would ask, 'Are you an Ephraimite?' If he said, 'No,'	5 Galaad ocupou os vaus do Jordão, e cada vez que um fugitivo de Efraim queria passar, perguntavam-lhe: És tu efraimita? Ele respondia: Não.
6 they then said, 'Very well, say Shibboleth.' If anyone said, "Sibboleth", because he could notpronounce it, then they would seize him and kil him by the fords of the Jordan. Forty-two thousand Ephraimitesfel on this occasion.	6 Pois bem, diziam eles então, dize: Chibólet. E ele dizia: Sibólet, não podendo pronunciar corretamente. Prendiam-no logo e o degolavam junto aos vaus do Jordão. Naquele dia pereceram quarenta e dois mil homens de Efraim.
