1 Abimelek pacoengah Israel pahlong hanah, Issakar acaeng, Dodo capa Puah, Puah capa, Tola to oh; anih loe Ephraim mae Shamir vangpui ah oh.

After the time of Abimelech, a man of Issachar, Tola son of Puah, the son of Dodo, rose up to save Israel. He lived in Shamir, in the hill country of Ephraim.

2 Anih mah Israel kaminawk to saning pumphae thumto thung lokcaek; anih loe duek moe, Shamir vangpui ah aphum o.

Tola judged Israel twenty-three years, and when he died, he was buried in Shamir.

3 Anih pacoengah Gilead prae ah kaom Jair to oh; anih mah Israel kaminawk to saning pumphae hnetto thung uk.

Tola was followed by Jair the Gileadite, who judged Israel twenty-two years.

4 Anih loe capa quithumto tawnh, nihcae loe laa hrang quithumto angthueng o moe, Gilead prae ih avang quithumtonawk to a uk o; to vangpuinawk to vaihni ni khoek to Havoth Jair, tiah kawk o.

He had thirty sons who rode on thirty donkeys. And they had thirty towns in the land of Gilead, which to this day are called Havvoth-jair.

5 Jair loe duek moe, Kamon vangpui ah aphum o.

When Jair died, he was buried in Kamon.

6 To pacoengah Israel kaminawk loe Angraeng mikhnukah kasae hmuen to sak o let bae; Baalnawk hoi Ashtarothnawk, Syria sithawnawk, Sidon sithawnawk, Moab sithawnawk, Ammon sithawnawk, Philistin kaminawk ih sithawnawk ih tok to a sak pae o; Angraeng to pahnawt o moe, Anih ih tok to sah pae o ai.

And again the Israelites did evil in the sight of the LORD. They served the Baals, the Ashtoreths, the gods of Aram, Sidon, and Moab, and the gods of the Ammonites and Philistines. Thus they forsook the LORD and did not serve Him.

7 To pongah Angraeng loe Israel nuiah palungphui moe, nihcae to Philistin kaminawk hoi Ammon kaminawk ban ah zawh.

So the anger of the LORD burned against Israel, and He sold them into the hands of the Philistines and Ammonites,

8 Nihcae mah Jordan vapui yaeh Gilead prae Ammon kaminawk ohhaih ahmuen ah kaom Israel kaminawk to tuk o moe, saning hatlai tazetto thung pacaekthlaek o.

who that very year harassed and oppressed the Israelites, and did so for eighteen years to all the Israelites on the other side of the Jordan in Gilead, the land of the Amorites.

9 Toe Ammon kaminawk loe Jordan vapui to angkaat o moe, Judah, Benjamin hoi Ephraim imthung takoh to tuk o pongah, Israel kaminawk loe paroeai patangkhang o.

The Ammonites also crossed the Jordan to fight against Judah, Benjamin, and the house of Ephraim, and Israel was in deep distress.

10 To naah Israel kaminawk mah Angraeng khaeah, Na hmaa ah ka zae o boeh, Sithaw to ka pahnawt o moe, Baalnawk ih tok to ka sak o moeng boeh, tiah hang o.

Then the Israelites cried out to the LORD, saying, “We have sinned against You, for we have indeed forsaken our God and served the Baals.”

11 Angraeng mah, Israel kaminawk khaeah, Izip kaminawk, Amor kaminawk, Ammon kaminawk, Philistin kaminawk ban hoiah kang pahlong o na ai maw?

The LORD replied, “When the Egyptians, Amorites, Ammonites, Philistines,

12 Sidon kaminawk, Amalek kaminawk hoi Maon kaminawk mah ang pacaekthlaek o pongah kai khaeah tahmenhaih nang hnik o naah doeh, nihcae ban thung hoiah kang pahlong o na ai maw?

Sidonians, Amalekites, and Maonites oppressed you and you cried out to Me, did I not save you from their hands?

13 Toe kai to nang pahnawt o moe, kalah sithawnawk to na bok o, to pongah kang pahlong o mak ai boeh.

But you have forsaken Me and served other gods, so I will no longer save you.

14 Caeh oh loe, na qoih o ih sithawnawk khaeah hang o khae; raihaih na tongh o naah, nihcae mah na pahlong o nasoe, tiah a naa.

Go and cry out to the gods you have chosen. Let them save you in your time of trouble.”

15 Toe Israel kaminawk mah Angraeng khaeah, Ka zae o boeh; sak han hoih, tiah na poek ih baktih toengah sah halat ah, toe vaihni khue hae loe na pahlong raeh, tiah a naa o.

“We have sinned,” the Israelites said to the LORD. “Deal with us as You see fit; but please deliver us today!”

16 To nathuem hoi kamtong angmacae thungah kaom kalah kaminawk ih sithawnawk to vah o moe, Angraeng ih tok to a sak o; Israel kaminawk patangkhanghaih to Anih mah palungnat haih.

So they put away the foreign gods from among them and served the LORD, and He could no longer bear the misery of Israel.

17 Ammon kaminawk loe nawnto amkhueng o moe, Gilead prae ah atai o; Israel kaminawk doeh nawnto amkhueng o moe, Mizpah vangpui ah atai o toeng.

Then the Ammonites were called to arms and camped in Gilead, and the Israelites assembled and camped at Mizpah.

18 Gilead ah kaom kaminawk mah, Mi kawbaktih doeh Ammon kaminawk tuh hmaloe kami loe, Gilead prae thungah kaom kaminawk boih ukkung ah om nasoe, tiah a thuih o.

And the rulers of Gilead said to one another, “Whoever will launch the attack against the Ammonites will be the head of all who live in Gilead.”
