Dommer 10
1 Og efter Abimelek opstod Thola, en Søn af Pua, Dodos Søn, en Mand af Isaskar, at frelse Israel; og han boede i Samir paa Efraims Bjerg.
And after Abimelech there arose to defend Israel Tola the son of Puah, the son of Dodo, a man of Issachar; and he dwelt in Shamir in mount Ephraim.
2 Og han dømte Israel tre og tyve Aar, og han døde og blev begraven i Samir.
And he judged Israel twenty and three years, and died, and was buried in Shamir.
3 Og efter ham opstod Gileaditeren Jair og dømte Israel to og tyve Aar.
And after him arose Jair, a Gileadite, and judged Israel twenty and two years.
4 Og han havde tredive Sønner, som rede paa tredive Asenfoler, og de havde tredive Stæder; dem kaldte de Jairs Byer indtil denne Dag, de ligge i Gileads Land.
And he had thirty sons that rode on thirty ass colts, and they had thirty cities, which are called Havoth-jair unto this day, which [are] in the land of Gilead.
5 Og Jair døde og blev begraven i Kamon.
And Jair died, and was buried in Camon.
6 Og Israels Børn bleve ved at gøre ondt for Herrens Øjne og tjente Baalerne og Astarterne og Syriens Guder og Zidons Guder og Moabs Guder og Ammons Børns Guder og Filisternes Guder; og de forlode Herren og tjente ham ikke.
And the children of Israel did evil again in the sight of the LORD, and served Baalim, and Ashtaroth, and the gods of Syria, and the gods of Zidon, and the gods of Moab, and the gods of the children of Ammon, and the gods of the Philistines, and forsook the LORD, and served not him.
7 Da optændtes Herrens Vrede imod Israel, og han solgte dem i Filisternes Haand og Ammons Børns Haand.
And the anger of the LORD was hot against Israel, and he sold them into the hands of the Philistines, and into the hands of the children of Ammon.
8 Og de nedsloge og knuste Israels Børn i det samme Aar; atten Aar plagede de alle Israels Børn, som vare paa hin Side Jordanen i Amoriternes Land, som er i Gilead.
And that year they vexed and oppressed the children of Israel: eighteen years, all the children of Israel that [were] on the other side Jordan in the land of the Amorites, which [is] in Gilead.
9 Og Ammons Børn droge over Jordanen at stride endog imod Juda og imod Benjamin og imod Efraims Hus, saa at Israel var saare trængt.
Moreover the children of Ammon passed over Jordan to fight also against Judah, and against Benjamin, and against the house of Ephraim; so that Israel was sore distressed.
10 Da raabte Israels Børn til Herren og sagde: Vi have syndet imod dig, fordi vi have forladt vor Gud og tjent Baalerne.
And the children of Israel cried unto the LORD, saying, We have sinned against thee, both because we have forsaken our God, and also served Baalim.
11 Og Herren sagde til Israels Børn: Havde ikke Ægypter og Amoriter, Ammons Børn og Filister
And the LORD said unto the children of Israel, [Did] not [I deliver you] from the Egyptians, and from the Amorites, from the children of Ammon, and from the Philistines?
12 og Zidonier og Amalek og Maon undertrykket eder? og I raabte til mig, og jeg frelste eder af deres Haand.
The Zidonians also, and the Amalekites, and the Maonites, did oppress you; and ye cried to me, and I delivered you out of their hand.
13 Og I forlode mig og tjente andre Guder; derfor vil jeg ikke blive ved at frelse eder.
Yet ye have forsaken me, and served other gods: wherefore I will deliver you no more.
14 Gaar og raaber til de Guder, som I have udvalgt; lad dem frelse eder i eders Trængsels Tid.
Go and cry unto the gods which ye have chosen; let them deliver you in the time of your tribulation.
15 Da sagde Israels Børn til Herren: Vi have syndet; gør du med os efter alt det, som er godt for dine Øjne; dog, kære, udfri os paa denne Dag.
And the children of Israel said unto the LORD, We have sinned: do thou unto us whatsoever seemeth good unto thee; deliver us only, we pray thee, this day.
16 Og de kastede de fremmedes Guder bort fra sig og tjente Herren; og han ynkedes inderlig over Israels Nød.
And they put away the strange gods from among them, and served the LORD: and his soul was grieved for the misery of Israel.
17 Og Ammons Børn bleve sammenkaldte, og de lejrede sig i Gilead; men Israels Børn samledes og lejrede sig i Mizpa.
Then the children of Ammon were gathered together, and encamped in Gilead. And the children of Israel assembled themselves together, and encamped in Mizpeh.
18 Og Folket, Fyrsterne i Gilead, sagde den ene til den anden: Hvo er den Mand, som vil begynde at stride imod Ammons Børn? han skal være Hoved for alle dem, som bo i Gilead.
And the people [and] princes of Gilead said one to another, What man [is he] that will begin to fight against the children of Ammon? he shall be head over all the inhabitants of Gilead.
