Judges 12

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	SAGRADA BIBLIA
1 The men of Ephraim gathered together and crossed over to Zaphon. They said to Jephthah, "Why do you go on to fight with the Ammonites without calling us to go with you? We will burn your house over you."	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 answered them, "My soldiers and I were engaged in a critical contest with the Ammonites. I summoned you, but you did not rescue me from their power.	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 you would not effect a rescue, I took my life in my own hand and went on to the Ammonites, and the LORD delivered them into my power. Why, then, do you come up against me this day to fight with 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 Then Jephthah called together all the men of Gilead and fought against Ephraim, whom they defeated; for the Ephraimites had said, "You of Gilead are Ephraimite fugitives in territory belonging to 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 The Gileadites took the fords of the Jordan toward Ephraim. When any of the fleeing Ephraimites said, "Let me pass," the men of Gilead would say to him, "Are you an Ephraimite?" If he answered, "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 would ask him to say "Shibboleth." If he said "Sibboleth," not being able to give the proper pronunciation, they would seize him and kill him at the fords of the Jordan. Thus forty-two thousand Ephraimites fell at that time.	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.
7 After having judged Israel for six years, Jephthah the Gileadite died and was buried in his city in Gilead.	7 Jefté, o galaadita, foi juiz em Israel durante seis anos; depois morreu, e foi sepultado em uma das cidades de Galaad.
8 After him Ibzan of Bethlehem judged Israel.	8 Depois de Jefté, foi juiz de Israel Ibsã, de Belém,
9 He had thirty sons. He also had thirty daughters married outside the family, and he brought in as wives for his sons thirty young women from outside the family. After having judged Israel for seven years,	9 o qual teve trinta filhos; casou suas trinta filhas fora de sua família, e mandou vir de fora trinta jovens para os seus filhos. Julgou Israel durante sete anos.
10 Ibzan died and was buried in Bethlehem.	10 Morreu e foi enterrado em Belém.
11 After him the Zebulunite Elon judged Israel. When he had judged Israel for ten years,	11 Depois dele, Elon, de Zabulon, foi juiz em Israel, e sua judicatura durou dez anos.
12 the Zebulunite Elon died and was buried in Elon in the land of Zebulun.	12 Morreu, e foi enterrado em Ajalon, na terra de Zabulon.
13 After him the Pirathonite Abdon, son of Hillel, judged Israel.	13 Em seguida teve Israel por juiz Abdon, filho de Ilel, de Faraton.
14 He had forty sons and thirty grandsons who rode on seventy saddle-asses. After having judged Israel for eight years,	14 Teve quarenta filhos e trinta netos, que montavam em setenta jumentinhos. Julgou Israel durante oito anos.
15 the Pirathonite Abdon, son of Hillel, died and was buried in Pirathon in the land of Ephraim on the mountain of the Amalekites.	15 Depois disso, Abdon, filho de Ilel, de Faraton, morreu e foi sepultado em Faraton, na terra de Efraim, na montanha dos amalecitas.
