士師記 10
1 阿彼默肋客之後，有依撒加爾人多多的孫子，普阿的兒子托拉起來整救以色列。他住在厄弗辣因山地的沙米爾，
And there riseth after Abimelech, to save Israel, Tola son of Puah, son of Dodo, a man of Issachar, and he is dwelling in Shamir, in the hill-country of Ephraim,
2 做以色列民長有二十三年之久，死後葬在紗米爾。雅依爾民長
and he judgeth Israel twenty and three years, and he dieth, and is buried in Shamir.
3 在他以後，有基肋阿得人雅依爾興起，作以色列民長二十二年之久。
And there riseth after him Jair the Gileadite, and he judgeth Israel twenty and two years,
4 他有三十個兒子，騎著三十四驢駒；他們有三十座城，這些城稱作哈沃特雅依爾，直到今日，都在基肋阿得地。
and he hath thirty sons riding on thirty ass-colts, and they have thirty cities, (they call them Havoth-Jair unto this day), which [are] in the land of Gilead;
5 雅依爾死後埋葬在卡孟。以民犯罪受罰
and Jair dieth, and is buried in Kamon.
6 那時以色列子民又行了上主視為惡的事，事奉巴耳和阿市托勒特眾神，以及阿蘭的神，漆冬的神，摩阿布的神，阿孟子民的神，培肋舍特人的神；他們背棄上主，不事奉他。
And the sons of Israel add to do the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah, and serve the Baalim, and Ashtaroth, and the gods of Aram, and the gods of Zidon, and the gods of Moab, and the gods of the Bene-Ammon, and the gods of the Philistines, and forsake Jehovah, and have not served Him;
7 上主向以色列發怒，把他們交在培肋舍特人和阿孟子民手中。
and the anger of Jehovah burneth against Israel, and He selleth them into the hand of the Philistines, and into the hand of the Bene-Ammon,
8 從那一年起，他們迫害壓制以色列子民，即所有住在約但河對岸，在阿摩黎人境內基肋阿得地方的以色列子民，一連十八年。
and they crush and oppress the sons of Israel in that year — eighteen years all the sons of Israel [who] are beyond the Jordan, in the land of the Amorite, which [is] in Gilead.
9 阿孟子民也過約但河來攻擊猷大、本雅明和厄弗辣因家族；因此以色列人很是困苦。
And the Bene-Ammon pass over the Jordan to fight also against Judah, and against Benjamin, and against the house of Ephraim, and Israel hath great distress.
10 以色列子民遂向上主呼籲說：「我們得罪了你，因為我們背棄了我們的天主，事奉了巴耳諸神! 」
And the sons of Israel cry unto Jehovah, saying, 'We have sinned against Thee, even because we have forsaken our God, and serve the Baalim.'
11 上主對以色列子民說：「當埃及人、阿摩黎人、阿孟子民、培肋舍特人、
And Jehovah saith unto the sons of Israel, '[Have I] not [saved you] from the Egyptians, and from the Amorite, from the Bene-Ammon, and from the Philistines?
12 漆冬人、阿瑪肋人、米德楊人難為你們的時後，你們向我哀號，我豈沒有從他們手中拯救了你們﹖
And the Zidonians, and Amalek, and Maon have oppressed you, and ye cry unto Me, and I save you out of their hand;
13 但是你們背棄了我，事奉了別的神，因此我不再拯救你們，
and ye — ye have forsaken Me, and serve other gods, therefore I add not to save you.
14 去呼籲你們所選擇的神罷! 讓他們在你們遭難時來拯救你們! 」
Go and cry unto the gods on which ye have fixed; they — they save you in the time of your adversity.'
15 以色列子民對上主說：「我們犯了罪，你任意對待我們，只求你今日援救我們! 」
And the sons of Israel say unto Jehovah, 'We have sinned, do Thou to us according to all that is good in Thine eyes; only deliver us, we pray Thee, this day.'
16 以色列子民遂從他們中間除去外邦的神，而事奉上主；上主再不能容忍以色列受苦。
And they turn aside the gods of the stranger out of their midst, and serve Jehovah, and His soul is grieved with the misery of Israel.
17 那時阿孟子民集合在基肋阿得紮營，以色列子民也集合在米茲帕安營。
And the Bene-Ammon are called together, and encamp in Gilead, and the sons of Israel are gathered together, and encamp in Mizpah.
18 基肋阿得人民的首領彼此說：「誰開始攻打阿孟子民，誰就作全基肋阿得居民的首領。」
And the people — heads of Gilead — say one unto another, 'Who [is] the man that doth begin to fight against the Bene-Ammon? he is for head to all inhabitants of Gilead.'
