Giudici 12

NOVA VULGATA	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 Ecce autem convocatus vir Ephraim transiit contra aqui lonem, et dixerunt ad Iephte: “ Quare vadens ad pugnam contra filios Ammon vocare nos noluisti, ut pergeremus tecum? Igitur incendemus domum tuam super te ”.	1 But behold there arose a sedition in Ephraim. And passing towards the north, they said to Jephte: When thou wentest to fight against the children of Ammon, why wouldst thou not call us, that we might go with thee? Therefore we will burn thy house.
2 Quibus ille respondit: “ Disceptatio erat mihi et populo meo contra filios Ammon vehemens, vocavique vos, ut mihi praeberetis auxilium, et facere noluistis.	2 And he answered them: I and my people were at great strife with the children of Ammon: and I called you to assist me, and you would not do it.
3 Quod cernens posui in manibus meis animam meam transivique ad filios Ammon, et tradidit eos Dominus in manus meas. Quid commerui, ut hodie adversum me consurgatis in proelium? ”.	3 And when I saw this, I put my life in my own hands, and passed over against the children of Ammon, and the Lord delivered them into my hands. What have I deserved, that you should rise up to fight against me?
4 Vocatis itaque ad se cunctis viris Galaad, pugnabat contra Ephraim. Percusseruntque viri Galaad Ephraim, quia dixerat: “ Fugitivi de Ephraim estis; Galaad habitat in medio Ephraim et Manasse ”.	4 Then calling to him all the men of Galaad, he fought against Ephraim: and the men of Galaad defeated Ephraim, because he had said: Galaad is a fugitive of Ephraim, and dwelleth in the midst of Ephraim and Manasses.
5 Occupaveruntque Galaaditae vada Iordanis, per quae Ephraim reversurus erat. Cumque venisset ad ea de Ephraim numero fugiens atque dixisset: “ Obsecro, ut me transire permittatis ”, dicebant ei Galaaditae: “ Numquid Ephrathaeus es? ”. Quo dicente: “ Non sum ”,	5 And the Galaadites secured the fords of the Jordan, by which Ephraim was to return. And when any one of the number of Ephraim came thither in the flight, and said: I beseech you let me pass: the Galaadites said to him: Art thou not an Ephraimite? If he said: I am not:
6 interrogabant eum: “ Dic ergo: Scibboleth ” (quod interpretatur Spica). Qui respondebat: “ Sibboleth ”, illud recte exprimere non valens. Statimque apprehensum iugulabant in ipso Iordanis transitu. Et ceciderunt in illo tempore de Ephraim quadraginta duo milia.	6 They asked him: Say then, Scibboleth, which is interpreted, An ear of corn. But he answered, Sibboleth, not being able to express an ear of corn by the same letter. Then presently they took him and killed him in the very passage of the Jordan. And there fell at that time of Ephraim two and forty thousand.
7 Iudicavitque Iephte Galaadites Israel sex annis et mortuus est ac sepultus in civitate sua in Galaad.	7 And Jephte the Galaadite judged Israel six years: and he died, and was buried in his city of Galaad.
8 Post hunc iudicavit Israel Abesan de Bethlehem.	8 After him Abesan of Bethlehem judged Israel:
9 Qui habuit triginta filios et totidem filias emittens foras maritis dedit; et eiusdem numeri filiis suis accepit uxores forinsecus. Qui septem annis iudicavit Israel;	9 He had thirty sons, and as many daughters, whom he sent abroad, and gave to husbands, and took wives for his sons of the same number, bringing them into his house. And he judged Israel seven years:
10 mortuusque est ac sepultus in Bethlehem.	10 And he died, and was buried in Bethlehem.
11 Cui successit Ahialon Zabulonites et iudicavit Israel decem annis;	11 To him succeeded Ahialon a Zahnlonite: and he judged Israel ten years:
12 mortuusque est ac sepultus in Ahialon terrae Zabulon.	12 And he died, and was buried in ZahnIon.
13 Post hunc iudicavit Israel Abdon filius Illel Pharathonites.	13 After him Abdon, the son of Illel, a Pharathonite, judged Israel:
14 Qui habuit quadraginta filios et triginta ex eis nepotes ascendentes super septuaginta pullos asinarum. Et iudicavit Israel octo annis;	14 And he had forty sons, and of them thirty grandsons, mounted upon seventy ass colts, and he judged Israel eight years:
15 mortuusque est ac sepultus in Pharathon terrae Ephraim in monte Amalecite.	15 And he died, and was buried in Pharathon in the land of Ephraim, in the mount of Amalech.
