Hakimler 12

¹Efrayim adamı feryat ederek toplandı ve kuzeye [Safon'a] geçip Yeftah'a şöyle dediler: "Ammon oğullarıyla savaşmak üzere karşıya geçerken, seninle gelmemiz için bizi neden çağırmadın? Evini seninle birlikte ateşe vereceğiz."

²Yeftah onlara şöyle dedi: "Ben ve halkım çetin savaşçılardık, Ammon oğulları da son derece güçlüydü; size feryat ettim ama beni onların elinden kurtarmadınız."

³Sizin bir kurtarıcı olmadığınızı gördüğümde canımı dişime takıp Ammon oğullarının üzerine yürüdüm ve Rab onları elime teslim etti; öyleyse bugün benimle savaşmak için neden üzerime yürüdünüz?"

⁴Yeftah bütün Gilat adamlarını topladı ve Efrayim ile savaştı; Gilat adamları Efrayim'i bozguna uğrattı, çünkü onlar, "Siz Gilatlılar, Efrayim ve Manaşe'nin ortasında yaşayan Efrayim kaçaklarısınız" demişlerdi.

⁵Gilatlılar, Şeria Irmağı'nın Efrayim'e giden geçitlerini önceden tuttular; Efrayim'in kaçakları "Karşıya geçelim" dediklerinde, Gilat adamları onlara, "Efratlı mısın?" diye sorarlardı; o da "Hayır" derse,

⁶ona, "Şimdi 'Stahis' de" derlerdi; o ise bunu bu şekilde telaffuz etmeyi beceremezdi; bunun üzerine onu yakalar ve Şeria Irmağı'nın geçitlerinde boğazlarlardı; o sırada Efrayim'den kırk iki bin kişi öldü.

⁷Yeftah İsrail'i altı yıl yönetti; sonra Gilatlı Yeftah öldü ve kendi kenti Gilat'ta gömüldü.

⁸Ondan sonra İsrail'i Beytlehemli Abaysan yönetti.

⁹Onun otuz oğlu ve dışarıya gelin gönderdiği otuz kızı vardı; oğulları için de dışarıdan otuz kız getirdi ve İsrail'i yedi yıl yönetti.

¹⁰Abaysan öldü ve Beytlehem'de gömüldü.

¹¹Ondan sonra İsrail'i Zevulunlu Elom on yıl yönetti.

¹²Zevulunlu Elom öldü ve Zevulun topraklarındaki Elom'da gömüldü.

¹³Ondan sonra İsrail'i Faratonlu Ellel oğlu Abdon yönetti.

¹⁴Onun yetmiş sıpaya binen kırk oğlu ve otuz torunu vardı; İsrail'i sekiz yıl yönetti.

¹⁵Faratonlu Ellel oğlu Abdon öldü ve Efrayim topraklarında, Amalek dağındaki Faraton'da gömüldü.

¹ΚΑΙ ἐβόησεν ἀνὴρ ᾿Εφραίμ, καὶ παρῆλθαν εἰς βορρᾶν καὶ εἶπαν πρὸς ᾿Ιεφθάε· διατὶ παρῆλθες παρατάξασθαι ἐν υἱοῖς ᾿Αμμὼν καὶ ἡμᾶς οὐ κέκληκας πορευθῆναι μετὰ σοῦ; τὸν οἶκόν σου ἐμπρήσομεν ἐπὶ σὲ ἐν πυρί.

²καὶ εἶπε πρὸς αὐτοὺς ᾿Ιεφθάε· ἀνὴρ μαχητὴς ἤμην ἐγὼ καὶ ὁ λαός μου, καὶ οἱ υἱοὶ ᾿Αμμὼν σφόδρα· καὶ ἐβόησα ὑμᾶς, καὶ οὐκ ἐσώσατέ με ἐκ χειρὸς αὐτῶν.

³καὶ εἶδον ὅτι οὐκ εἶ σωτήρ, καὶ ἔθηκα τὴν ψυχήν μου ἐν χειρί μου καὶ παρῆλθον πρὸς υἱοὺς ᾿Αμμών, καὶ ἔδωκεν αὐτοὺς Κύριος ἐν χειρί μου· καὶ εἰς τί ἀνέβητε ἐπ᾿ ἐμὲ ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ταύτῃ παρατάξασθαι ἐν ἐμοί;

⁴καὶ συνέστρεψεν ᾿Ιεφθάε πάντας τοὺς ἄνδρας Γαλαὰδ καὶ παρετάξατο τῷ ᾿Εφραίμ, καὶ ἐπάταξαν ἄνδρες Γαλαὰδ τὸν ᾿Εφραίμ, ὅτι εἶπαν, οἱ διασωζόμενοι τοῦ ᾿Εφραὶμ ἡμεῖς, Γαλαὰδ ἐν μέσῳ τοῦ ᾿Εφραὶμ καὶ ἐν μέσῳ τοῦ Μανασσῆ.

⁵καὶ προκατελάβετο Γαλαὰδ τὰς διαβάσεις τοῦ ᾿Ιορδάνου τοῦ ᾿Εφραίμ, καὶ εἶπαν αὐτοῖς οἱ διασωζόμενοι ᾿Εφραίμ· διαβῶμεν, καὶ εἶπαν αὐτοῖς οἱ ἄνδρες Γαλαάδ· μὴ ᾿Εφραθίτης εἶ; καὶ εἶπεν· οὔ.

⁶καὶ εἶπαν αὐτῷ· εἶπον δὴ Στάχυς· καὶ οὐ κατεύθυνε τοῦ λαλῆσαι οὕτως. καὶ ἐπελάβοντο αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἔθυσαν αὐτὸν πρὸς τὰς διαβάσεις τοῦ ᾿Ιορδάνου, καὶ ἔπεσαν ἐν τῷ καιρῷ ἐκείνῳ ἀπὸ ᾿Εφραὶμ δύο καὶ τεσσαράκοντα χιλιάδες.

⁷καὶ ἔκρινεν ᾿Ιεφθάε τὸν ᾿Ισραὴλ ἓξ ἔτη. καὶ ἀπέθανεν ᾿Ιεφθάε ὁ Γαλααδίτης, καὶ ἐτάφη ἐν πόλει αὐτοῦ Γαλαάδ.

⁸Καὶ ἔκρινε μετ᾿ αὐτὸν τὸν ᾿Ισραὴλ ᾿Αβαισσὰν ἀπὸ Βαιθλεέμ.

⁹καὶ ἦσαν αὐτῷ τριάκοντα υἱοὶ καὶ τριάκοντα θυγατέρες, ἃς ἐξαπέστειλεν ἔξω, καὶ τριάκοντα θυγατέρας εἰσήνεγκε τοῖς υἱοῖς αὐτοῦ ἔξωθεν. καὶ ἔκρινε τὸν ᾿Ισραὴλ ἑπτὰ ἔτη.

¹⁰καὶ ἀπέθανεν ᾿Αβαισσὰν καὶ ἐτάφη ἐν Βαιθλεέμ.

¹¹καὶ ἔκρινε μετ᾿ αὐτὸν τὸν ᾿Ισραὴλ Αἰλὼμ ὁ Ζαβουλωνίτης δέκα ἔτη.

¹²καὶ ἀπέθανεν Αἰλὼμ ὁ Ζαβουλωνίτης καὶ ἐτάφη ἐν Αἰλὼμ ἐν γῇ Ζαβουλών.

¹³καὶ ἔκρινε μετ᾿ αὐτὸν τὸν ᾿Ισραὴλ ᾿Αβδὼν υἱὸς ᾿Ελλὴλ ὁ Φαραθωνίτης.

¹⁴καὶ ἦσαν αὐτῷ τεσσαράκοντα υἱοὶ καὶ τριάκοντα υἱῶν υἱοὶ ἐπιβαίνοντες ἐπὶ ἑβδομήκοντα πώλους. καὶ ἔκρινε τὸν ᾿Ισραὴλ ὀκτὼ ἔτη.

¹⁵καὶ ἀπέθανεν ᾿Αβδὼν υἱὸς ᾿Ελλὴλ ὁ Φαραθωνίτης καὶ ἐτάφη ἐν Φαραθὼν ἐν γῇ ᾿Εφραὶμ ἐν ὄρει τοῦ ᾿Αμαλήκ.

¹And the men of Ephraim assembled [themselves], and passed on to the north, and said to Jephthae, Wherefore didst thou go over to fight with the children of Ammon, and didst not call us to go with thee? we will burn thy house over thee with fire.

²And Jephthae said to them, I and my people and the children of Ammon were very much engaged in war; and I called for you, and ye did not save me out of their hand.

³And I saw that thou wert no helper, and I put my life in my hand, and passed on to the sons of Ammon; and the Lord delivered them into my hand: and wherefore are ye come up against me this day to fight with me?

⁴And Jephthae gathered all the men of Galaad, and fought with Ephraim; and the men of Galaad smote Ephraim, because they that were escaped of Ephraim said, Ye [are] of Galaad in the midst of Ephraim and in the midst of Manasse.

⁵And Galaad took the fords of Jordan before Ephraim; and they that escaped of Ephraim said to them, Let us go over: and the men of Galaad said, Art thou an Ephrathite? and he said, No.

⁶Then they said to him, Say now Stachys; and he did not rightly pronounce it so: and they took him, and slew him at the fords of Jordan; and there fell at that time of Ephraim two and forty thousand.

⁷And Jephthae judged Israel six years; and Jephthae the Galaadite died, and was buried in his city Galaad.

⁸And after him Abaissan of Bethleem judged Israel.

⁹And he had thirty sons, and thirty daughters, whom he sent forth; and he brought in thirty daughters for his sons from without; and he judged Israel seven years.

¹⁰And Abaissan died, and was buried in Bethleem.

¹¹And after him Aelom of Zabulon judged Israel ten years.

¹²And Aelom of Zabulon died, and was buried in Aelom in the land of Zabulon.

¹³And after him Abdon the son of Ellel, the Pharathonite, judged Israel.

¹⁴And he had forty sons, and thirty grandsons, that rode upon seventy colts: and he judged Israel eight years.

¹⁵And Abdon the son of Ellel, the Pharathonite, died, and was buried in Pharathon in the land of Ephraim in the mount of Amalec.
