GREEK BIBLE	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 Και συνηχθησαν οι ανδρες Εφραιμ, και επερασαν προς βορραν και ειπαν προς τον Ιεφθαε, Δια τι επερασας να πολεμησης εναντιον των υιων Αμμων, και δεν εκαλεσας ημας να ελθωμεν μετα σου; τον οικον σου θελομεν καυσει επανω σου εν πυρι.	1 And behold, a sedition rose up in Ephraim. Then, while passing by toward the north, they said to Jephthah: “When you were going to fight against the sons of Ammon, why were you unwilling to summon us, so that we might go with you? Therefore, we will burn down your house.”
2 Και ειπεν ο Ιεφθαε προς αυτους, Εγω και ο λαος μου ηλθομεν εις μεγαλην φιλονεικιαν μετα των υιων Αμμων? και σας εκραξα και δεν με εσωσατε εκ της χειρος αυτων?	2 And he answered them: “I and my people were in a great conflict against the sons of Ammon. And I called you, so that you might offer assistance to me. And you were not willing to do so.
3 και ιδων οτι δεν με εσωσατε, ερριψοκινδυνευσα την ζωην μου και επερασα εναντιον των υιων Αμμων, και ο Κυριος παρεδωκεν αυτους εις την χειρα μου? δια τι λοιπον ανεβητε προς εμε σημερον δια να με πολεμησητε;	3 And discerning this, I put my life in my own hands, and I crossed to the sons of Ammon, and the Lord delivered them into my hands. What am I guilty of, that you would rise up in battle against me?”
4 Τοτε συνηθροισεν ο Ιεφθαε παντας τους ανδρας της Γαλααδ και επολεμησε τον Εφραιμ? και επαταξαν οι ανδρες της Γαλααδ τους Εφραιμιτας, διοτι ειπαν, Φυγαδες του Εφραιμ εισθε σεις οι Γαλααδιται, μεταξυ του Εφραιμ και μεταξυ του Μανασση.	4 And so, calling to himself all the men of Gilead, he fought against Ephraim. And the men of Gilead struck down Ephraim, because he had said, “Gilead is a fugitive from Ephraim, and he lives in the midst of Ephraim and Manasseh.”
5 Και επιασαν αι Γαλααδιται διαβασεις του Ιορδανου προ των Εφραιμιτων? και οποτε τις εκ των Εφραιμιτων φυγαδων ελεγε, Θελω να περασω, τοτε οι ανδρες της Γαλααδ ελεγον προς αυτον, Μηπως εισαι Εφραιμιτης; Εαν εκεινος ελεγεν, Ουχι,	5 And the Gileadites occupied the fords of the Jordan, along which Ephraim was to return. And when anyone from the number of Ephraim had arrived, fleeing, and had said, “I beg that you permit me to pass,” the Gileadites would say to him, “Could you be an Ephraimite?” And if he said, “I am not,”
6 τοτε ελεγον προς αυτον, Ειπε λοιπον Σχιββωλεθ? και εκεινος ελεγε Σιββωλεθ? διοτι δεν ηδυνατο να προφερη ουτω. Τοτε επιανον αυτον και εφονευον αυτον εις τας διαβασεις του Ιορδανου. Και επεσον κατ' εκεινον τον καιρον τεσσαρακοντα δυο χιλιαδες Εφραιμιται.	6 they would ask him, then say ‘Shibboleth,’ which is translated as ‘ear of grain.’ But he would answer ‘Sibboleth,’ not being able to express the word for an ear of grain in the same letters. And immediately apprehending him, they would cut his throat, at the same crossing point of the Jordan. And in that time of Ephraim, forty-two thousand fell.
7 Και εκρινεν ο Ιεφθαε τον Ισραηλ εξ ετη. Και απεθανεν ο Ιεφθαε ο Γαλααδιτης και εταφη εν πολει τινι της Γαλααδ.	7 And so Jephthah, the Gileadite, judged Israel for six years. And he died, and he was buried in his city in Gilead.
8 Και μετ' αυτον εκρινε τον Ισραηλ Αβαισαν ο εκ Βηθλεεμ.	8 After him, Ibzan of Bethlehem judged Israel.
9 Και ειχε τριακοντα υιους και τριακοντα θυγατερας, τας οποιας υπανδρευσεν? ελαβε δε εξωθεν τριακοντα νεας δια τους υιους αυτου. Και εκρινε τον Ισραηλ επτα ετη.	9 He had thirty sons, and the same number of daughters, whom he sent away to be given to husbands. And he accepted wives for his sons of the same number, bringing them into his house. And he judged Israel for seven years.
10 Και απεθανεν ο Αβαισαν και εταφη εν Βηθλεεμ.	10 And he died, and he was buried in Bethlehem.
11 Και μετ' αυτον εκρινε τον Ισραηλ Αιλων ο Ζαβουλωνιτης? και εκρινε τον Ισραηλ δεκα ετη.	11 After him succeeded Elon, a Zebulunite. And he judged Israel for ten years.
12 Και απεθανεν Αιλων ο Ζαβουλωνιτης και εταφη εις Αιαλων εν τη γη Ζαβουλων.	12 And he died, and he was buried in Zebulun.
13 Και μετ' αυτον εκρινε τον Ισραηλ Αβδων, ο υιος του Ελληλ, ο Πιραθωνιτης.	13 After him, Abdon, the son of Hillel, a Pirathonite, judged Israel.
14 Και ειχε τεσσαρακοντα υιους και τριακοντα εγγονους, επιβαινοντας επι εβδομηκοντα πωλαρια? και εκρινε τον Ισραηλ οκτω ετη.	14 And he had forty sons, and from them thirty grandsons, all riding upon seventy young donkeys. And he judged Israel for eight years.
15 Και απεθανεν Αβδων ο υιος του Ελληλ ο Πιραθωνιτης? και εταφη εν Πιραθων εν γη Εφραιμ, επι το ορος Αμαληκ.	15 And he died, and he was buried at Pirathon, in the land of Ephraim, on the mountain of Amalek.
