Judges 10
1 After the time of Abimelech, a man of Issachar, Tola son of Puah, the son of Dodo, rose up to save Israel. He lived in Shamir, in the hill country of Ephraim.
Efter Abimelek fremstod som Israels Befrier Tola, en Søn af Dodos Søn Pua, en Mand af Issakar, som boede i Sjamir i Efraims Bjerge.
2 Tola judged Israel twenty-three years, and when he died, he was buried in Shamir.
Han var Dommer i Israel i tre og tyve Aar. Da han døde, blev han jordet i Sjamir.
3 Tola was followed by Jair the Gileadite, who judged Israel twenty-two years.
Efter ham fremstod Gileaditen Ja'ir; han var Dommer i Israel i to og tyve Aar.
4 He had thirty sons who rode on thirty donkeys. And they had thirty towns in the land of Gilead, which to this day are called Havvoth-jair.
Han havde tredive Sønner, som red paa tredive Æsler, og de havde tredive Byer, som endnu den Dag i Dag kaldes Ja'irs Teltbyer; de ligger i Gilead.
5 When Jair died, he was buried in Kamon.
Da Ja'ir døde, blev han jordet i Kamon.
6 And again the Israelites did evil in the sight of the LORD. They served the Baals, the Ashtoreths, the gods of Aram, Sidon, and Moab, and the gods of the Ammonites and Philistines. Thus they forsook the LORD and did not serve Him.
Men Israeliterne blev ved at gøre, hvad der var ondt i HERRENS Øjne, idet de dyrkede Ba'alerne og Astarterne og Aramæernes, Zidons, Moabs, Ammoniternes og Filisternes Guder og faldt fra HERREN og undlod at dyrke ham.
7 So the anger of the LORD burned against Israel, and He sold them into the hands of the Philistines and Ammonites,
Da blussede HERRENS Vrede op mod Israel, og han gav dem til Pris for Filisterne og Ammoniterne,
8 who that very year harassed and oppressed the Israelites, and did so for eighteen years to all the Israelites on the other side of the Jordan in Gilead, the land of the Amorites.
som kuede og mishandlede Israeliterne i det Aar; i atten Aar kuede de alle Israeliterne hinsides Jordan i Amoriternes Land i Gilead.
9 The Ammonites also crossed the Jordan to fight against Judah, Benjamin, and the house of Ephraim, and Israel was in deep distress.
Og Ammoniterne satte over Jordan for ogsaa at angribe Juda, Benjamin og Efraims Slægt, saa at Israeliterne kom i stor Nød.
10 Then the Israelites cried out to the LORD, saying, “We have sinned against You, for we have indeed forsaken our God and served the Baals.”
Da raabte Israeliterne til HERREN og sagde: »Vi har syndet imod dig, thi vi har forladt HERREN vor Gud og dyrket Ba'alerne!«
11 The LORD replied, “When the Egyptians, Amorites, Ammonites, Philistines,
Men HERREN svarede Israeliterne: »Har ikke Ægypterne, Amoriterne, Ammoniterne, Filisterne,
12 Sidonians, Amalekites, and Maonites oppressed you and you cried out to Me, did I not save you from their hands?
Zidonierne, Amalekiterne og Midjaniterne mishandlet eder? Og da I raabte til mig, frelste jeg eder af deres Haand.
13 But you have forsaken Me and served other gods, so I will no longer save you.
Men I forlod mig og dyrkede andre Guder! Derfor vil jeg ikke mere frelse eder!
14 Go and cry out to the gods you have chosen. Let them save you in your time of trouble.”
Gaa nu hen og raab til de Guder, I udvalgte eder, og lad dem frelse eder i eders Nød!«
15 “We have sinned,” the Israelites said to the LORD. “Deal with us as You see fit; but please deliver us today!”
Da sagde Israeliterne til HERREN: »Vi har syndet! Gør med os, hvad dig tykkes godt, men frels os blot nu!«
16 So they put away the foreign gods from among them and served the LORD, and He could no longer bear the misery of Israel.
Og de skilte sig af med de fremmede Guder og dyrkede HERREN; da kunde han ikke længer holde ud at se Israels Nød.
17 Then the Ammonites were called to arms and camped in Gilead, and the Israelites assembled and camped at Mizpah.
Ammoniterne stævnedes sammen, og de slog Lejr i Gilead; ogsaa Israeliterne samlede sig, og de slog Lejr i Mizpa.
18 And the rulers of Gilead said to one another, “Whoever will launch the attack against the Ammonites will be the head of all who live in Gilead.”
Da sagde Folket, Gileads Høvdinger, til hverandre: »Hvis der findes en Mand, som vil tage Kampen op med Ammoniterne, skal han være Høvding over alle Gileads Indbyggere!«
