Giudici 12

NOVA VULGATA	NEW JERUSALEM
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 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!'
2 Quibus ille respondit: “ Disceptatio erat mihi et populo meo contra filios Ammon vehemens, vocavique vos, ut mihi praeberetis auxilium, et facere noluistis.	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.
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 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?'
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 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.'
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 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,'
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 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.
