< Judges 10 >
1 After Abimelech, a leader rose up in Israel, Tola, the son of Puah, the paternal uncle of Abimelech, a man of Issachar, who lived in Shamir on mount Ephraim.
Abimelek hnukah tah Issackhar hlang Dodo koca Puah capa Tola tah Israel aka khang ham ha phoe bal tih anih tah Ephraim tlang kah Shamir ah kho a sak.
2 And he judged Israel for twenty-three years, and he died and was buried at Shamir.
Israel te kum kul kum thum lai a tloek pah tih a duek vaengah Shamir ah a up uh.
3 After him succeeded Jair, a Gileadite, who judged Israel for twenty-two years,
Anih hnukah Giladi Jair ha phoe tih Israel te kum kul kum nit lai a tloek pah.
4 having thirty sons sitting upon thirty young donkeys, and who were leaders of thirty cities, which from his name were called Havvoth Jair, that is, the towns of Jair, even to the present day, in the land of Gilead.
Laak sawmthum dongah aka ngol capa sawmthum anih taengah om. Amih taengkah khopuei sawmthum te Gilead kho ah tah tihnin due Jair vangca rhoek la a khue uh.
5 And Jair died, and he was buried in the place which is called Kamon.
Jair a duek vaengah Kamon ah a up uh.
6 But the sons of Israel did evil in the sight of the Lord, joining new sins to old, and they served idols, the Baals and Ashtaroth, and the gods of Syria and Sidon, and of Moab and the sons of Ammon, and the Philistines. And they abandoned the Lord, and they did not worship him.
BOEIPA mikhmuh ah boethae saii ham Israel ca rhoek loh a khoep uh bal tih Baal rhoek khaw, Ashtoreth khaw, Aram pathen khaw, Sidon pathen, Moab pathen, Ammon ca rhoek pathen, Philisti pathen taengah tho a thueng uh. Yahweh te a hnoo uh tih thothueng uh pawh.
7 And the Lord, becoming angry against them, delivered them into the hands of the Philistines and the sons of Ammon.
Te dongah BOEIPA kah thintoek loh Israel a sai thil tih, amih te Philisti kut dongah khaw, Ammon ca rhoek kah kut dongah a yoih.
8 And they were afflicted and vehemently oppressed for eighteen years, all who were living beyond the Jordan in the land of the Amorite, which is in Gilead,
Te dongah Israel ca rhoek neh Jordan rhalvang Amori kho Gilead kah Israel ca rhoek boeih tah a noi uh tih a kum la kum hlai rhet khuiah a neet uh.
9 to such a great extent that the sons of Ammon, crossing over the Jordan, laid waste to Judah and Benjamin and Ephraim. And Israel was exceedingly afflicted.
Judah, Benjamin, Ephraim imkhui te vathoh thil ham khaw Ammon ca rhoek loh Jordan a poeng uh dongah Israel te mat a daengdaeh.
10 And crying out to the Lord, they said: “We have sinned against you. For we have forsaken the Lord our God, and we have served the Baals.”
Te dongah Israel ca rhoek loh BOEIPA taengah pang uh tih, “Na taengah ka tholh uh dongah ka Pathen te ka hnoo uh tih Baal taengah tho ka thueng uh,” a ti uh.
11 And the Lord said to them: “Did not the Egyptians, and the Amorites, and the sons of Ammon, and the Philistines,
Te vaengah Israel ca rhoek te BOEIPA loh, “Egypt vaengah khaw, Amori vaengah khaw, Ammon ca rhoek neh Philisti vaengah khaw,
12 and also the Sidonians, and Amalek, and Canaan, oppress you, and so you cried out to me, and I rescued you from their hand?
Sidoni, Amalek, Moan loh nangmih n'nen uh tih kai taengla na pang uh vaengah khaw nangmih te amih kut lamloh kan khang uh moenih a?
13 And yet you have forsaken me, and you have worshipped foreign gods. For this reason, I will not continue to free you any more.
Tedae nangmih loh kai nan hnoo uh tih pathen tloe rhoek taengah tho na thueng uh. Te dongah nangmih khang hamla ka khoep mahpawh.
14 Go, and call upon the gods whom you have chosen. Let them free you in the time of anguish.”
Cet uh lamtah Pathen rhoek taengah pang uh, amih te coelh uh, amih loh na citcai tue vaengah nangmih te n'khang uh saeh,” a ti nah.
15 And the sons of Israel said to the Lord: “We have sinned. You may repay us in whatever way pleases you. Yet free us now.”
Tedae Israel ca rhoek loh BOEIPA taengah, “Ka tholh uh coeng, na mikhmuh ah then na ti bangla namah loh kaimih taengah boeih saii mai, tedae tihnin ah he kaimih n'huul mai laeh,” a ti uh.
16 And saying these things, they cast out all the idols of the foreign gods from their regions, and they served the Lord God. And he was touched by their miseries.
Te vaengah amih khui lamkah kholong pathen rhoek te a khoe uh tih BOEIPA taengah tho a thueng daengah Israel kah thakthaenah khuikah a hinglu loh rhaemhal pueng.
17 And then the sons of Ammon, shouting out together, pitched their tents in Gilead. And the sons of Israel gathered together against them, and they made camp at Mizpah.
Te vaengah Ammon ca rhoek loh pang uh tih Gilead ah rhaeh uh. Israel ca rhoek khaw tingtun uh van tih Mizpah ah rhaeh uh.
18 And the leaders of Gilead said to one another, “Whoever among us will be the first to begin to contend against the sons of Ammon, he shall be the leader of the people of Gilead.”
Te dongah Gilead kah pilnam mangpa rhoek loh a hui patoeng taengah tah, “U hlang mai khaw Ammon ca rhoek tloek ham aka tlai lamham tah Gilead khosa boeih kah a lu la om saeh,” a ti uh.
