Judges 10
1 And after Abimelech there arose Tola the son of Puah, the son of Dodo, a man of Issachar, to save Israel, and he dwelt in Shamir in the hill-country of Ephraim.
Atafa Abimeleki panabwera Tola mwana wa Puwa, mdzukulu wa Dodo kudzapulumutsa Aisraeli. Iyeyu anali wa fuko la Isakara ndipo ankakhala ku Samiri mʼdziko la mapiri la Efereimu.
2 And he judged Israel twenty-three years, and died, and was buried in Shamir.
Iye anatsogolera Aisraeli kwa zaka 23, ndipo anamwalira ndi kuyikidwa ku Samiri.
3 And after him arose Jair, the Gileadite, and he judged Israel twenty-two years.
Atafa Tola panabwera Yairi wa ku Giliyadi, amene anatsogolera Israeli kwa zaka 22.
4 And he had thirty sons who rode on thirty donkey colts, and they had thirty cities, which are called Havvoth-jair to this day, which are in the land of Gilead.
Iyeyu anali ndi ana aamuna makumi atatu, amene ankakwera pa abulu makumi atatu. Iwo anali ndi mizinda makumi atatu mʼdziko la Giliyadi, imene mpaka lero ikutchedwa kuti Havoti Yairi.
5 And Jair died, and was buried in Kamon.
Atamwalira Yairi anayikidwa mʼmanda ku Kamoni.
6 And the sons of Israel again did that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah, and served the Baalim, and the Ashtaroth, and the gods of Syria, and the gods of Sidon, and the gods of Moab, and the gods of the sons of Ammon, and the gods of the Philistines. And they forsook Jehovah, and did not serve him.
Aisraeli anachitanso zoyipira Yehova. Iwo anatumikira Abaala ndi Asitoreti, milungu ya ku Aramu, Sidoni, Mowabu, Aamoni ndi Afilisti. Choncho analeka osatumikiranso Yehova.
7 And the anger of Jehovah was kindled against Israel, and he sold them into the hand of the Philistines, and into the hand of the sons of Ammon.
Tsono Yehova anapsera mtima Aisraeli ndipo anawapereka mʼmanja mwa Afilisti ndi Aamoni.
8 And they vexed and oppressed the sons of Israel that year. Eighteen years they oppressed all the sons of Israel who were beyond the Jordan in the land of the Amorites, which is in Gilead.
Iwowa anawagonjetseratu Aisraeli mʼchaka chimenechi, ndipo kwa zaka 18 anakhala akusautsa Aisraeli onse amene anali pa tsidya la Yorodani, mʼdziko la Aamori ku Giliyadi.
9 And the sons of Ammon passed over the Jordan to also fight against Judah, and against Benjamin, and against the house of Ephraim, so that Israel was exceedingly distressed.
Aamori anawoloka mtsinje wa Yorodani kukathira nkhondo mafuko a Yuda, Benjamini ndi Efereimu kotero kuti Israeli anavutika kwambiri.
10 And the sons of Israel cried to Jehovah, saying, We have sinned against thee, even because we have forsaken our God, and have served the Baalim.
Kenaka Aisraeli analira kwa Yehova kuti, “Ife takuchimwirani popeza tasiya Inu Mulungu wathu ndi kutumikira Abaala.”
11 And Jehovah said to the sons of Israel, Did not I save you from the Egyptians, and from the Amorites, from the sons of Ammon, and from the Philistines?
Yehova anawafunsa kuti, “Suja ine ndinakupulumutsani kwa Aigupto, Aamori, Aamoni ndi Afilisti?
12 The Sidonians also, and the Amalekites, and the Maonites, oppressed you. And ye cried to me, and I saved you out of their hand.
Ndiponso pamene Asidoni, Aamaleki ndi Amoni anakuzunzani, inu nʼkulirira kwa ine suja ndinakupulumutsani kwa anthu amenewa?
13 Yet ye have forsaken me, and served other gods. Therefore I will save you no more.
Komabe inu mwandikana ndipo mukutumikira milungu ina. Choncho sindidzakupulumutsaninso.
14 Go and cry to the gods which ye have chosen. Let them save you in the time of your distress.
Pitani kalireni kwa milungu imene mwayisankha. Iyoyo ikupulumutseni ku mavuto anuwo.”
15 And the sons of Israel said to Jehovah, We have sinned. Do thou to us whatever seems good to thee, only deliver us, we pray thee, this day.
Koma Aisraeli anayankha Yehova kuti, “Ife tachimwa. Tichitireni chimene mukuona kuti ndi chabwino, koma chonde tipulumutseni lero lokha.”
16 And they put away the foreign gods from among them, and served Jehovah. And his soul was grieved for the misery of Israel.
Ndipo anachotsa milungu ya chilendo pakati pawo ndi kuyamba kutumikira Yehova. Ndipo Yehova anamva chisoni poona mmene Aisraeli ankazunzikira.
17 Then the sons of Ammon were gathered together, and encamped in Gilead. And the sons of Israel assembled themselves together, and encamped in Mizpah.
Tsono Aamoni anasonkhana ndi kumanga zithando za nkhondo ku Giliyadi. Nawonso Aisraeli anasonkhana ndi kumanga zithando zawo za nkhondo ku Mizipa.
18 And the people, the rulers of Gilead, said one to another, What man is he who will begin to fight against the sons of Ammon? He shall be head over all the inhabitants of Gilead.
Kenaka anthuwo ndi atsogoleri a Agiliyadi anayamba kufunsana kuti, “Kodi ndi munthu wotani amene atayambe kuthira nkhondo Aamoni? Iyeyu adzakhala mtsogoleri wolamulira anthu onse a ku Giliyadi.”
