< Judges 10 >

1 Now after Abimelech, Tola, the son of Puah, the son of Dodo, a man of Issachar, became the saviour of Israel; he was living in Shamir in the hill-country of Ephraim.
Apre Abimelèk, se Tola, pitit gason Pwa, pitit pitit gason Dodo, ki parèt pou delivre pèp Izrayèl la. Tola se moun branch fanmi Isaka. Li te rete lavil Chami nan mòn Efrayim yo.
2 He was judge over Israel for twenty-three years; and at his death his body was put to rest in the earth in Shamir.
Li te chèf nan peyi Izrayèl la pandan venntwazan. Apre sa, li mouri. Yo antere l' lavil Chami.
3 And after him came Jair the Gileadite, who was judge over Israel for twenty-two years.
Apre li, se Jayi, moun peyi Galarad, ki te parèt. Li gouvènen peyi Izrayèl la pandan venndezan.
4 And he had thirty sons, who went on thirty young asses; and they had thirty towns in the land of Gilead, which are named Havvoth-Jair to this day.
Li te gen trant pitit gason ki te moute trant bourik. Yo te gen trant lavil ki te rele yo pa yo nan peyi Galarad. Jouk koulye a yo rele lavil yo lavil Jayi.
5 And at the death of Jair his body was put to rest in the earth in Kamon.
Jayi mouri, yo antere l' lavil Kamon.
6 And again the children of Israel did evil in the eyes of the Lord, worshipping the Baals and Astartes, and the gods of Aram and the gods of Zidon and the gods of Moab and the gods of the children of Ammon and the gods of the Philistines; they gave up the Lord and were servants to him no longer.
Apre sa, moun pèp Izrayèl yo rekonmanse ankò ap fè sa ki mal nan je Bondye. Yo pran fè sèvis pou Baal yo, pou Astate yo, pou bondye moun peyi Siri yo, pou bondye moun peyi Sidon yo, pou bondye moun peyi Moab yo, pou bondye moun peyi Amon yo ak bondye moun peyi Filisti yo. Yo vire do bay Seyè a, yo sispann sèvi l'.
7 And the wrath of the Lord was burning against Israel, and he gave them up into the hands of the Philistines and into the hands of the children of Ammon.
Se konsa Seyè a fache sou pèp Izrayèl la. Li kite moun Filisti yo ak moun Amon yo mete pye sou kou yo.
8 And that year the children of Israel were crushed under their yoke; for eighteen years all the children of Israel on the other side of Jordan, in the land of the Amorites which is in Gilead, were cruelly crushed down.
Pandan tout lanne a, moun sa yo maltrete pèp Izrayèl la, yo malmennen yo. Pandan dizwitan, yo t'ap peze tout moun nan pèp Izrayèl la ki t'ap viv lòt bò larivyè Jouden an, sou bò solèy leve, nan peyi Galarad kote yo te rete a.
9 And the children of Ammon went over Jordan, to make war against Judah and Benjamin and the house of Ephraim; and Israel was in great trouble.
Moun Amon yo te menm rive janbe lòt bò larivyè Jouden an pou y' al goumen ak moun branch Jida yo, moun branch fanmi Benjamen yo ak moun branch fanmi Efrayim yo. Pèp Izrayèl la te nan gwo lapenn.
10 Then the children of Israel, crying out to the Lord, said, Great is our sin against you, for we have given up our God and have been servants to the Baals.
Lè sa a, yo rele nan pye Seyè a, yo di l' konsa: -Nou te peche kont ou, nou te vire do ba ou, ou menm Bondye nou an, n' al fè sèvis pou Baal yo.
11 And the Lord said to the children of Israel, Were not the Egyptians and the Amorites and the children of Ammon and the Philistines
Seyè a reponn pèp Izrayèl la: -Moun Lejip yo, moun Amori yo, moun Amon yo, moun Filisti yo,
12 And the Zidonians and Amalek and Midian crushing you down, and in answer to your cry did I not give you salvation from their hands?
moun Sidon yo, moun Amalèk yo ak moun Mawon yo t'ap peze nou nan tan lontan, nou te kriye nan pye m'. Eske mwen pa t' delivre nou anba men yo lè sa a?
13 But, for all this, you have given me up and have been servants to other gods: so I will be your saviour no longer.
Men chak fwa, nou vire do ban mwen pou n' al fè sèvis pou lòt bondye. Se poutèt sa mwen pa pral delivre nou fwa sa a ankò.
14 Go, send up your cry for help to the gods of your selection; let them be your saviours in the time of your trouble.
Ale kriye nan pye bondye nou te chwazi yo! Se yo ki pou sove nou lè nou nan ka!
15 And the children of Israel said to the Lord, We are sinners; do to us whatever seems good to you: only give us salvation this day.
Men, moun pèp Izrayèl yo di Seyè a: -Nou fè sa nou pa t' dwe fè: Ou mèt fè nou sa ou vle. Men, tanpri delivre nou jòdi a!
16 So they put away the strange gods from among them, and became the Lord's servants; and his soul was angry because of the sorrows of Israel.
Apre sa, yo wete tout bondye lòt nasyon yo te gen lakay yo, yo pran sèvi Seyè a. Seyè a pa t' gen kè pou l' wè jan pèp Izrayèl la te nan lapenn.
17 Then the children of Ammon came together and put their army in position in Gilead. And the children of Israel came together and put their army in position in Mizpah.
Lè sa a, lame pèp Amon an sanble, y' al moute kan yo nan peyi Galarad. Lame pèp Izrayèl la menm te sanble tou, yo moute kan yo lavil Mispa.
18 And the people of Israel said to one another, Who will be the first to make an attack on the children of Ammon? We will make him head over all Gilead.
Pèp peyi Galarad la ak chèf yo t'ap pale, yonn t'ap di lòt: -Moun ki pral mennen batay la kont moun Amon yo, se li menm ki pral chèf tout moun nan peyi Galarad!
