Jongʼad Bura 10
1 Bangʼ loch Abimelek ja-Isakar, Tola wuod Pua, ma wuod Dodo, nowuok mondo ores jo-Israel. Nodak Shamir, e piny got mar Efraim.
And there arose, after Abimelech, to save Israel—Tola son of Puah son of Dodo, a man of Issachar, —and, he, used to sit in Shamir, in the hill country of Ephraim;
2 Notelo ne Israel kuom higni piero ariyo gadek; eka notho, kendo noyike Shamir.
and he judged Israel, twenty-three years, —and died, and was buried in Shamir.
3 Noluwe gi Jair ma ja-Gilead, ma notelo ne Israel kuom higni piero ariyo gariyo.
And there arose, after him, Jair the Gileadite, —and judged Israel twenty-two years.
4 Ne en-gi yawuowi piero adek mane nigi punde piero adek mane giidho. Negitelone mier piero adek man Gilead, manyaka kawuononi pod iluongo ni Havoth Jair.
Now he had thirty sons, that rode on thirty ass colts, and they had, thirty cities, —they are called Havvoth-jair, until this day, which are in the land of Gilead.
5 Ka Jair notho, noyike Kamon.
And Jair died, and was buried in Kamon.
6 Jo-Israel nochako otimo timbe mamono e wangʼ Jehova Nyasaye. Negitiyone Baal gi Ashtoreth, kod nyiseche mag jo-Aram, gi nyiseche mag jo-Sidon, nyiseche mag jo-Moab, nyiseche mag jo-Amon kod nyiseche mag jo-Filistia. Bende nikech jo-Israel nojwangʼo Jehova Nyasaye mi ok gitiyone,
And the sons of Israel again did the thing that was wicked in the sight of Yahweh, and served the Baals and the Ashtoreths, and the gods of Syria, and the gods of Zidon, and the gods of Moab, and the gods of the sons of Ammon, and the gods of the Philistines, —and forsook Yahweh, and served him not.
7 iye nowangʼ kodgi. Nochiwogi e lwet jo-Filistia kod jo-Amon,
So the anger of Yahweh kindled upon Israel, —and he sold them into the hand of the Philistines, and into the hand of the sons of Ammon;
8 mane osandogi kendo othirogi e higano. Kuom higni apar gaboro negisando jo-Israel duto mane nitie yo wuok chiengʼ mar Jordan e piny Gilead, ma en piny jo-Amor.
and they enfeebled and oppressed the sons of Israel in that year, —eighteen years, did they this unto all the sons of Israel who were beyond the Jordan, in the land of the Amorites, that was in Gilead.
9 Jo-Amon bende nongʼado Jordan mondo oked gi jo-Juda, jo-Benjamin kod od Efraim; kendo Israel nenie thagruok malich.
And the sons of Ammon crossed the Jordan, to fight, even against Judah and against Benjamin, and against the house of Ephraim, —so that Israel was sore distressed.
10 Eka jo-Israel noywak ne Jehova Nyasaye, “Waseketho e nyimi, ka waweyo Nyasachwa kendo watiyone nyiseche mag Baal.”
Then did the sons of Israel make outcry unto Yahweh, saying, —We have sinned against thee, because we have forsaken our God, and have served the Baals.
11 Jehova Nyasaye nodwoko niya, “E kinde mane jo-Misri, jo-Amor, jo-Amon, jo-Filistia,
Then said Yahweh unto the sons of Israel, —Was it not, from the Egyptians, and from the Amorites, and from the sons of Ammon, and from the Philistines, [that I saved you]?
12 jo-Sidon, jo-Amalek kod jo-Maon nothirou kendo ne uywakna mondo akonyu, donge ne aresou ma ua e lwetgi?
The Zidonians also, and the Amalekites, and the Maonites, oppressed you, —and ye made outcry unto me, and I saved you out of their hand.
13 To usejwangʼa mutiyone nyiseche mamoko, omiyo koro ok anachak aresu.
Yet have, ye, forsaken me, and served other gods, —therefore will I not again save you.
14 Dhiuru kendo uywagne nyisecheu ma useyiero. Weuru giresu sa ma un e thagruok!”
Go and make outcry unto the gods whom ye have chosen, —they, must save you, in the time of your tribulation.
15 To jo-Israel nowachone Jehova Nyasaye niya, “Wasetimo richo. Timnwa gimoro amora miparo ni berni, to kiyie to reswa sani.”
And the sons of Israel said unto Yahweh—We have sinned, do, thou, with us, according to all that is fitting in thine eyes, —only rescue us, we beseech thee this day.
16 Eka ne giwito nyiseche manono kendo negitiyo ni Jehova Nyasaye. Eka Jehova Nyasaye nokecho jo-Israel kuom thagruokgi.
And they put away the gods of the stranger out of their midst, and served Yahweh, —and his soul was impatient of the misery of Israel.
17 Ka jo-Amon noluongi mondo oik gige lweny mag-gi kendo gichokre Gilead, jo-Israel to nochokore Mizpa.
Now the sons of Ammon were called out, and they encamped in Gilead, —and the sons of Israel assembled themselves together, and encamped in Mizpah.
18 Jotend jo-Gilead nowacho kendgi giwegi niya, “Ngʼato angʼata ma nemonj jo-Amon ema nobed jotend jogo duto modak Gilead.”
Then said the people, the princes of Gilead, one to another, Who is the man that will begin to fight against the sons of Ammon? he shall become head to all the inhabitants of Gilead.
