א
וַיִּצָּעֵק אִישׁ אֶפְרַיִם, וַיַּעֲבֹר צָפוֹנָה; וַיֹּאמְרוּ לְיִפְתָּח מַדּוּעַ עָבַרְתָּ לְהִלָּחֵם בִּבְנֵי-עַמּוֹן, וְלָנוּ לֹא קָרָאתָ לָלֶכֶת עִמָּךְ--בֵּיתְךָ, נִשְׂרֹף עָלֶיךָ בָּאֵשׁ.

1
And the men of Ephraim were gathered together, and passed to Zaphon; and they said unto Jephthah: 'Wherefore didst thou pass over to fight against the children of Ammon, and didst not call us to go with thee? we will burn thy house upon thee with fire.'
|
|
ב
וַיֹּאמֶר יִפְתָּח, אֲלֵיהֶם, אִישׁ רִיב הָיִיתִי אֲנִי וְעַמִּי וּבְנֵי-עַמּוֹן, מְאֹד; וָאֶזְעַק אֶתְכֶם, וְלֹא-הוֹשַׁעְתֶּם אוֹתִי מִיָּדָם.
|
2
And Jephthah said unto them: 'I and my people were at great strife with the children of Ammon; and when I called you, ye saved me not out of their hand.
|
|
ג
וָאֶרְאֶה כִּי-אֵינְךָ מוֹשִׁיעַ, וָאָשִׂימָה נַפְשִׁי בְכַפִּי וָאֶעְבְּרָה אֶל-בְּנֵי עַמּוֹן, וַיִּתְּנֵם יְהוָה, בְּיָדִי; וְלָמָה עֲלִיתֶם אֵלַי, הַיּוֹם הַזֶּה--לְהִלָּחֶם בִּי.
|
3
And when I saw that ye saved me not, I put my life in my hand, and passed over against the children of Ammon, and YAHOWAH delivered them into my hand; wherefore then are ye come up unto me this day, to fight against me?'
|
|
ד
וַיִּקְבֹּץ יִפְתָּח אֶת-כָּל-אַנְשֵׁי גִלְעָד, וַיִּלָּחֶם אֶת-אֶפְרָיִם; וַיַּכּוּ אַנְשֵׁי גִלְעָד אֶת-אֶפְרַיִם, כִּי אָמְרוּ פְּלִיטֵי אֶפְרַיִם אַתֶּם--גִּלְעָד, בְּתוֹךְ אֶפְרַיִם בְּתוֹךְ מְנַשֶּׁה.
|
4
Then Jephthah gathered together all the men of Gilead, and fought with Ephraim; and the men of Gilead smote Ephraim, because they said: 'Ye are fugitives of Ephraim, ye Gileadites, in the midst of Ephraim, and in the midst of Manasseh.'
|
|
ה
וַיִּלְכֹּד גִּלְעָד אֶת-מַעְבְּרוֹת הַיַּרְדֵּן, לְאֶפְרָיִם; וְהָיָה כִּי יֹאמְרוּ פְּלִיטֵי אֶפְרַיִם, אֶעֱבֹרָה, וַיֹּאמְרוּ לוֹ אַנְשֵׁי-גִלְעָד הַאֶפְרָתִי אַתָּה, וַיֹּאמֶר לֹא.
|
5
And the Gileadites took the fords of the Jordan against the Ephraimites; and it was so, that when any of the fugitives of Ephraim said: 'Let me go over,' the men of Gilead said unto him: 'Art thou an Ephraimite?' If he said: 'Nay';
|
|
ו
וַיֹּאמְרוּ לוֹ אֱמָר-נָא שִׁבֹּלֶת וַיֹּאמֶר סִבֹּלֶת, וְלֹא יָכִין לְדַבֵּר כֵּן, וַיֹּאחֲזוּ אוֹתוֹ, וַיִּשְׁחָטוּהוּ אֶל-מַעְבְּרוֹת הַיַּרְדֵּן; וַיִּפֹּל בָּעֵת הַהִיא, מֵאֶפְרַיִם, אַרְבָּעִים וּשְׁנַיִם, אָלֶף.
|
6
then said they unto him: 'Say now Shibboleth'; and he said 'Sibboleth'; for he could not frame to pronounce it right; then they laid hold on him, and slew him at the fords of the Jordan; and there fell at that time of Ephraim forty and two thousand.
