1 And the men of Ephraim were gathered together, and passed northward; and they said unto Jephthah, Wherefore passedst thou over to fight against the children of Ammon, and didst not call us to go with thee? we will burn thine house upon thee with fire.
1 Y JUNTÁNDOSE los varones de Ephraim, pasaron hacia el aquilón, y dijeron á Jephté: ¿Por qué fuiste á hacer guerra contra los hijos de Ammón, y no nos llamaste para que fuéramos contigo? Nosotros quemaremos á fuego tu casa contigo.
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.
2 Y Jephté les respondió: Yo tuve, y mi pueblo, una gran contienda con los hijos de Ammón, y os llamé, y no me defendisteis de sus manos.
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 the LORD delivered them into my hand: wherefore then are ye come up unto me this day, to fight against me?
3 Viendo pues que no me defendíais, puse mi alma en mi palma, y pasé contra los hijos de Ammón, y Jehová los entregó en mi mano: ¿por qué pues habéis subido hoy contra mí para pelear conmigo?
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.
4 Y juntando Jephté á todos los varones de Galaad, peleó contra Ephraim; y los de Galaad hirieron á Ephraim, porque habían dicho: Vosotros sois fugitivos de Ephraim, vosotros sois Galaaditas entre Ephraim y Manasés.
5 And the Gileadites took the fords of 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;
5 Y los Galaaditas tomaron los vados del Jordán á Ephraim; y era que, cuando alguno de los de Ephraim que había huído, decía, ¿pasaré? los de Galaad le preguntaban: ¿Eres tú Ephrateo? Si él respondía, No;
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 Jordan: and there fell at that time of Ephraim forty and two thousand.
6 Entonces le decían: Ahora pues, di, Shiboleth. Y él decía, Siboleth; porque no podía pronunciar de aquella suerte. Entonces le echaban mano, y le degollaban junto á los vados del Jordán. Y murieron entonces de los de Ephraim cuarenta y dos mil.
7 And Jephthah judged Israel six years. Then died Jephthah the Gileadite, and was buried in [one of ]the cities of Gilead.
7 Y Jephté juzgó á Israel seis años: luego murió Jephté Galaadita, y fué sepultado en [una de] las ciudades de Galaad.
8 And after him Ibzan of Beth-lehem judged Israel.

9 And he had thirty sons, and thirty daughters he sent abroad, and thirty daughters he brought in from abroad for his sons. And he judged Israel seven years.
9 El cual tuvo treinta hijos y treinta hijas, las cuales casó fuera, y tomó de fuera treinta hijas para sus hijos: y juzgó á Israel siete años.
10 And Ibzan died, and was buried at Beth-lehem.

11 And after him Elon the Zebulunite judged Israel; and he judged Israel ten years.
11 Después de él juzgó á Israel Elón, Zabulonita, el cual juzgó á Israel diez años.
12 And Elon the Zebulunite died, and was buried in Aijalon in the land of Zebulun.
12 Y murió Elón, Zabulonita, y fué sepultado en Ajalón en la tierra de Zabulón.
13 And after him Abdon the son of Hillel the Pirathonite judged Israel.
13 Después de él juzgó á Israel Abdón hijo de Hillel, Piratonita.
14 And he had forty sons and thirty sons’ sons, that rode on threescore and ten ass colts: and he judged Israel eight years.
14 Este tuvo cuarenta hijos y treinta nietos, que cabalgaban sobre setenta asnos: y juzgó á Israel ocho años.
