YLT
Young's Literal Translation

King James Version
And the men of Ephraim are
called
together, and pass
over
northward, and say
to
Jephthah, `
Wherefore has
thou passed
over to fight against the Bene-
Ammon, and on
us
hast
not called
to go with thee? thy
house
we burn over
thee with fire. '
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.
And Jephthah saith
unto them, `A
man
of
great
strife
I have
been
(I
and my people )
with the Bene-
Ammon ,
and I call
you, and
ye have
not
saved
me out of their hand,
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.
and I see
that thou
art
not a
saviour
, and
I put my life in my hand
, and pass
over unto
the Bene-
Ammon, and Jehovah
giveth
them into my hand --
and
why
have
ye come up unto me this day to fight against me? '
And when
I saw
that ye
delivered
me
not, I put my life in my hands
, 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?
And
Jephthah gathered all the men of Gilead, and fighteth
with Ephraim ,
and the men of Gilead smite
Ephraim, because they said, `Fugitives
of
Ephraim
`are'
ye Gileadites ,
in
the
midst
of Ephraim --
in
the midst
of
Manasseh
. '
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
.
And Gilead
captureth
the passages of the
Jordan to
Ephraim,
and it hath
been
, when `any
of'
the
fugitives
of
Ephraim
say
, `
Let me pass
over ,'
and
the men of Gilead say
to
him, `An
Ephramite
thou? '
and
he saith
, `No
; '
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
;
that
they say
to
him, `
Say ,
I
pray
thee,
Shibboleth ;'
and he saith,
`
Sibboleth ,'
and
is
not prepared
to speak
right --
and
they seize
him, and slaughter
him at the passages of the
Jordan ,
and there fall
at that time ,
of Ephraim,
forty and two chiefs
.
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
.
