Juízes, 12
1. Os efraimitas, tendo-se sublevado, passaram a Safon e disseram a Jefté: “Por que saíste a combater os amonitas sem nos chamar para irmos contigo? Por isso vamos queimar a tua casa”.
1. And the men of Ephraim gathered themselves together, and went northward, and 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.
2. Jefté respondeu: “Eu e meu povo tivemos graves contendas com os amonitas. Chamei-vos e vós não me livrastes de suas mãos.
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 delivered me not out of their hands.
3. Vendo que não podia contar convosco, arrisquei a minha vida marchando sozinho contra os amonitas e o Senhor entregou-os nas minhas mãos. Por que, pois, viestes combater contra mim?”.*

4. Jefté reuniu todos os homens de Galaad e combateu contra Efraim. Os habitantes de Galaad derrotaram os de Efraim, que lhes haviam dito: “Vós sois fugitivos de Efraim que habitais entre Efraim e Manassés!”.
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 Gileadites [are] fugitives of Ephraim among the Ephraimites, [and] among the Manassites.
5. Galaad ocupou os vaus do Jordão. Cada vez que um fugitivo de Efraim queria passar, perguntavam-lhe: “És tu efraimita?”. Ele respondia – “Não”.
5. And the Gileadites took the passages of Jordan before the Ephraimites: and it was [so], that when those Ephraimites which were escaped said, Let me go over; that the men of Gilead said unto him, [Art] thou an Ephraimite? If he said, Nay;
6. “Pois bem – diziam eles então – dize: Chibólet.” E ele dizia: “Sibólet”, não podendo pronunciar corretamente. Prendiam-no logo e o degolavam junto aos vaus do Jordão. Naquele dia, pereceram quarenta e dois mil homens de Efraim.
6. Then said they unto him, Say now Shibboleth: and he said Sibboleth: for he could not frame to pronounce [it] right. Then they took him, and slew him at the passages of Jordan: and there fell at that time of the Ephraimites forty and two thousand.
