1 Derpå stævnedes Efraimierne sammen, og de drog nordpå; og de sagde til Jefta: "Hvorfor drog du i Kamp mod Ammoniterne uden at opfordre os til at gå med? Nu brænder vi Huset af over Hovedet på dig!"
1 Then the men of Ephraim were summoned, and they crossed to Zaphon and said to Jephthah, “Why did you cross over to fight against the sons of Ammon without calling us to go with you? We will burn your house down on you.”
3 og da jeg så, at ingen kom mig til Hjælp, vovede jeg Livet og drog mod Ammoniterne, og HERREN gav dem i min Hånd. Hvorfor drager I da nu i Kamp imod mig?"
3 When I saw that you would not deliver me, I took my life in my hands and crossed over against the sons of Ammon, and the Lord gave them into my hand. Why then have you come up to me this day to fight against me?”
4 Derpå samlede Jefta alle Gileads Mænd og angreb Efraimiterne; og Gileads Mænd slog Efraimiterne.
4 Then Jephthah gathered all the men of Gilead and fought Ephraim; and the men of Gilead defeated Ephraim, because they said, “You are fugitives of Ephraim, O Gileadites, in the midst of Ephraim and in the midst of Manasseh.”
6 sagde de til ham: "Sig Sjibbolet!" Og når han da sagde Sibbolet, fordi han ikke kunde udtale Ordet rigtigt, greb de ham og huggede ham ned ved Jordans Vadesteder. Ved den Lejlighed faldt 42000 Efraimiter.
6 then they would say to him, “Say now, ‘Shibboleth.’” But he said, “Sibboleth,” for he could not pronounce it correctly. Then they seized him and slew him at the fords of the Jordan. Thus there fell at that time 42,000 of Ephraim.
