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.

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 Te dongah BOEIPA kah thintoek loh Israela sai thil tih, amih te Philisti kut dongah khaw, Ammon ca rhoek kah kut dongaha yoih.

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

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.

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

10 Te dongah Israel ca rhoek loh BOEIPA taengah pang uh tih, “Na taengah ka tholh uh dongah ka Pathen te ka hnoo uh tih Baal taengah tho ka thueng uh,” a ti uh.

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 Te vaengah Israel ca rhoek te BOEIPA loh, “Egypt vaengah khaw, Amori vaengah khaw, Ammon ca rhoek neh Philisti vaengah khaw,

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

12 Sidoni, Amalek, Moan loh nangmih n'nen uh tih kai taengla na pang uh vaengah khaw nangmih te amih kut lamloh kan khang uh moenih a?

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

13 Tedae nangmih loh kai nan hnoo uh tih pathen tloe rhoek taengah tho na thueng uh. Te dongah nangmih khang hamla ka khoep mahpawh.

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

14 Cet uh lamtah Pathen rhoek taengah pang uh, amih te coelh uh, amih loh na citcai tue vaengah nangmih te n'khang uh saeh,” a ti nah.

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

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

16 Te vaengah amih khui lamkah kholong pathen rhoek tea khoe uh tih BOEIPA taengah tho a thueng daengah Israel kah thakthaenah khuikah a hinglu loh rhaemhal pueng.

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 Te vaengah Ammon ca rhoek loh pang uh tih Gilead ah rhaeh uh. Israel ca rhoek khaw tingtun uh van tih Mizpah ah rhaeh uh.

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

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.”
