Suci 10
1 Poslije Abimeleka ustao je Tola, sin Pue, sina Dodova, da izbavi Izraela. On bijaše iz Jisakarova plemena, a živio je u Šamiru, u Efrajimovoj gori.
After Abimelech there arose to save Israel Tola the son of Puah, the son of Dodo, a man of Issachar; and he lived in Shamir in the hill country of Ephraim.
2 Bio je sudac Izraelu dvadeset i tri godine, a kad je umro, pokopali su ga u Šamiru.
He judged Israel twenty-three years, and died, and was buried in Shamir.
3 Poslije njega ustao je Jair Gileađanin, koji je bio sudac Izraelu dvadeset i dvije godine.
After him arose Jair, the Gileadite; and he judged Israel twenty-two years.
4 Imao je trideset sinova koji su jahali na tridesetero magaradi i imali trideset gradova što se do dana današnjega zovu Sela Jairova, a nalaze se u gileadskoj zemlji.
He had thirty sons who rode on thirty donkeys, and they had thirty towns, which are called Havvoth Jair to this day, which are in the land of Gilead.
5 Kad umrije Jair, pokopaše ga u Kamonu.
Jair died, and was buried in Kamon.
6 Izraelci su opet stali činiti ono što Jahvi nije po volji. Služili su baalima i aštartama, aramejskim bogovima i sidonskim bogovima, bogovima Moabaca, bogovima Amonaca i bogovima Filistejaca. A Jahvu su napustili i nisu mu više služili.
The children of Israel again did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, and served the Baals, and the Ashtaroth, and the gods of Aram, and the gods of Sidon, and the gods of Moab, and the gods of the people of Ammon, and the gods of the Philistines; and they forsook the LORD, and did not serve him.
7 Tad planu Jahve gnjevom i predade ih u ruke Filistejcima i Amoncima.
The anger of the LORD was kindled against Israel, and he sold them into the hand of the Philistines, and into the hand of the people of Ammon.
8 Oni su od tada osamnaest godina satirali i tlačili Izraelce - sve Izraelce koji življahu s onu stranu Jordana, u zemlji amorejskoj, koja je u Gileadu.
And they shattered and oppressed the children of Israel that year. Eighteen years they oppressed all the children of Israel that were beyond the Jordan in the land of the Amorites, which is in Gilead.
9 Potom su Amonci prešli Jordan da zavojšte i na Judu, Benjamina i na Efrajima te se Izrael nađe u velikoj nevolji.
The people of Ammon passed over the Jordan to fight also against Judah, and against Benjamin, and against the house of Ephraim; so that Israel was very distressed.
10 Tada zavapiše Izraelci Jahvi govoreći: “Griješili smo prema tebi jer smo ostavili Jahvu, svoga Boga, da bismo služili baalima.”
The children of Israel cried to the LORD, saying, "We have sinned against you, even because we have forsaken our God, and have served the Baals."
11 A Jahve odgovori Izraelcima: “Nisu li vas tlačili Egipćani i Amorejci, Amonci i Filistejci,
The LORD said to the children of Israel, "Did I not save you from the Egyptians, and from the Amorites, from the people of Ammon, and from the Philistines?
12 Sidonci, Amalečani i Midjanci? Ali kad ste zavapili prema meni, nisam li vas izbavio iz njihovih ruku?
Also the Sidonians, and Amalek, and Midian oppressed you; and you cried to me, and I saved you out of their hand.
13 Ali vi ostaviste mene i uzeste služiti drugim bogovima. Zbog toga vas neću više izbavljati.
Yet you have forsaken me, and served other gods. Therefore I will save you no more.
14 Idite i vapite za pomoć onim bogovima koje ste izabrali! Neka vas oni izbave iz vaše nevolje!”
Go and cry to the gods which you have chosen; let them save you in the time of your distress."
15 Izraelci odgovoriše Jahvi: “Sagriješili smo! Čini s nama što ti drago, samo nas danas izbavi!”
The children of Israel said to the LORD, "We have sinned. Do to us whatever seems good to you; only deliver us, please, this day."
16 I odstraniše tuđe bogove i počeše opet služiti Jahvi. A Jahve više ne mogaše trpjeti da Izraelci pate.
They put away the foreign gods from among them, and served the LORD; and his soul was grieved with the misery of Israel.
17 Kada su se Amonci sabrali i utaborili u Gileadu, skupiše se i Izraelci i utaboriše se u Mispi.
Then the people of Ammon were gathered together, and camped in Gilead. The children of Israel assembled themselves together, and camped at Mizpah.
18 Tada narod i knezovi gileadski rekoše jedni drugima: “Koji čovjek povede boj protiv Amonaca, neka bude poglavar svima koji žive u Gileadu.”
And the people, the leaders of Gilead, said to each other, "What man is he who will begin to fight against the people of Ammon? He shall be head over all the inhabitants of Gilead."
