SMITH VAN DYKE	NEW JERUSALEM
1 واجتمع رجال افرايم وعبروا الى جهة الشمال وقالوا ليفتاح لماذا عبرت لمحاربة بني عمون ولم تدعنا للذهاب معك. نحرق بيتك عليك بنار.	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 فقال لهم يفتاح. صاحب خصام شديد كنت انا وشعبي مع بني عمون وناديتكم فلم تخلصوني من يدهم.	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 ولما رأيت انكم لا تخلصون وضعت نفسي في يدي وعبرت الى بني عمون فدفعهم الرب ليدي. فلماذا صعدتم عليّ اليوم هذا لمحاربتي.	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 وجمع يفتاح كل رجال جلعاد وحارب افرايم فضرب رجال جلعاد افرايم لانهم قالوا. انتم منفلتو افرايم. جلعاد بين افرايم ومنسّى.	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 فاخذ الجلعاديون مخاوض الاردن لافرايم وكان اذ قال منفلتو افرايم دعوني اعبر. كان رجال جلعاد يقولون له أانت افرايمي فان قال لا	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 كانوا يقولون له قل اذا شبولت فيقول سبولت ولم يتحفظ للفظ بحق. فكانوا يأخذونه ويذبحونه على مخاوض الاردن. فسقط في ذلك الوقت من افرايم اثنان واربعون الفا.	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.
