Oweruza 10
1 Atafa Abimeleki panabwera Tola mwana wa Puwa, mdzukulu wa Dodo kudzapulumutsa Aisraeli. Iyeyu anali wa fuko la Isakara ndipo ankakhala ku Samiri mʼdziko la mapiri la Efereimu.
And after Abimelech Thola the son of Phua rose up to save Israel, [being] the son of his father's brother, a man of Issachar; and he lived in Samir in mount Ephraim.
2 Iye anatsogolera Aisraeli kwa zaka 23, ndipo anamwalira ndi kuyikidwa ku Samiri.
And he judged Israel twenty-three years, and died, and was buried in Samir.
3 Atafa Tola panabwera Yairi wa ku Giliyadi, amene anatsogolera Israeli kwa zaka 22.
And after him arose Jair of Galaad, and he judged Israel twenty-two years.
4 Iyeyu anali ndi ana aamuna makumi atatu, amene ankakwera pa abulu makumi atatu. Iwo anali ndi mizinda makumi atatu mʼdziko la Giliyadi, imene mpaka lero ikutchedwa kuti Havoti Yairi.
And he had thirty-two sons riding on thirty-two colts, and they had thirty-two cities; and they called them Jair's towns until this day in the land of Galaad.
5 Atamwalira Yairi anayikidwa mʼmanda ku Kamoni.
And Jair died, and was buried in Rhamnon.
6 Aisraeli anachitanso zoyipira Yehova. Iwo anatumikira Abaala ndi Asitoreti, milungu ya ku Aramu, Sidoni, Mowabu, Aamoni ndi Afilisti. Choncho analeka osatumikiranso Yehova.
And the children of Israel did evil again in the sight of the Lord, and served Baalim, and Astaroth, and the gods of Aram, and the gods of Sidon, and the gods of Moab, and the gods of the children of Ammon, and the gods of the Phylistines; and they forsook the Lord, and did not serve him.
7 Tsono Yehova anapsera mtima Aisraeli ndipo anawapereka mʼmanja mwa Afilisti ndi Aamoni.
And the Lord was very angry with Israel, and sold them into the hands of the Phylistines, and into the hand of the children of Ammon.
8 Iwowa anawagonjetseratu Aisraeli mʼchaka chimenechi, ndipo kwa zaka 18 anakhala akusautsa Aisraeli onse amene anali pa tsidya la Yorodani, mʼdziko la Aamori ku Giliyadi.
And they afflicted and bruised the children of Israel at that time eighteen years, all the children of Israel beyond Jordan in the land of the Amorite in Galaad.
9 Aamori anawoloka mtsinje wa Yorodani kukathira nkhondo mafuko a Yuda, Benjamini ndi Efereimu kotero kuti Israeli anavutika kwambiri.
And the children of Ammon went over Jordan to fight with Juda, and Benjamin, and with Ephraim; and the children of Israel were greatly afflicted.
10 Kenaka Aisraeli analira kwa Yehova kuti, “Ife takuchimwirani popeza tasiya Inu Mulungu wathu ndi kutumikira Abaala.”
And the children of Israel cried to the Lord, saying, We have sinned against you, because we have forsaken God, and served Baalim.
11 Yehova anawafunsa kuti, “Suja ine ndinakupulumutsani kwa Aigupto, Aamori, Aamoni ndi Afilisti?
And the Lord said to the children of Israel, Did I not [save you] from Egypt and from the Amorite, and from the children of Ammon, and from the Phylistines,
12 Ndiponso pamene Asidoni, Aamaleki ndi Amoni anakuzunzani, inu nʼkulirira kwa ine suja ndinakupulumutsani kwa anthu amenewa?
and from the Sidonians, and Amalec, and Madiam, who afflicted you? and you cried to me, and I saved you out of their hand?
13 Komabe inu mwandikana ndipo mukutumikira milungu ina. Choncho sindidzakupulumutsaninso.
Yet you forsook me and served other gods; therefore I will not save you any more.
14 Pitani kalireni kwa milungu imene mwayisankha. Iyoyo ikupulumutseni ku mavuto anuwo.”
Go, and cry to the gods whom you have chosen to yourselves, and let them save you in the time of your affliction.
15 Koma Aisraeli anayankha Yehova kuti, “Ife tachimwa. Tichitireni chimene mukuona kuti ndi chabwino, koma chonde tipulumutseni lero lokha.”
And the children of Israel said to the Lord, We have sinned: do you to us according to all [that is] good in your eyes; only deliver us this day.
16 Ndipo anachotsa milungu ya chilendo pakati pawo ndi kuyamba kutumikira Yehova. Ndipo Yehova anamva chisoni poona mmene Aisraeli ankazunzikira.
And they put away the strange gods from the midst of them, and served the Lord only, and his soul was pained for the trouble of Israel.
17 Tsono Aamoni anasonkhana ndi kumanga zithando za nkhondo ku Giliyadi. Nawonso Aisraeli anasonkhana ndi kumanga zithando zawo za nkhondo ku Mizipa.
And the children of Ammon went up, and encamped in Galaad; and the children of Israel were gathered together and encamped on the hill.
18 Kenaka anthuwo ndi atsogoleri a Agiliyadi anayamba kufunsana kuti, “Kodi ndi munthu wotani amene atayambe kuthira nkhondo Aamoni? Iyeyu adzakhala mtsogoleri wolamulira anthu onse a ku Giliyadi.”
And the people the princes of Galaad said every man to his neighbour, Who [is] he that shall begin to fight against the children of Ammon? he shall even be head over all that dwell in Galaad.
