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.
A i muri a Apimereke, ka whakatika ake hei kaiwhakaora mo Iharaira ko Tora tama a Pua tama a Roro, he tangata no Ihakara: a i noho ia ki Hamiri ki te whenua pukepuke o Eparaima.
2 And he judged Israel for twenty-three years, and he died and was buried at Shamir.
A e rua tekau ma toru nga tau i whakarite ai ia mo Iharaira, na ka mate, a tanumia ana ki Hamiri.
3 After him succeeded Jair, a Gileadite, who judged Israel for twenty-two years,
A i muri i a ia ka whakatika ko Haira Kireari, e rua tekau ma rua nga tau i whakarite ai ia mo Iharaira.
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.
Na e toru tekau ana tama, e toru tekau ano nga kuao kaihe i eke ai ratou, e toru tekau hoki o ratou pa, e huaina nei ko Hawotohaira, a tae noa ki tenei ra; kei te whenua o Kireara.
5 And Jair died, and he was buried in the place which is called Kamon.
Na ka mate a Haira, a ka tanumia ki Kamono.
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.
Na ka mahi kino ano nga tamariki a Iharaira ki ta Ihowa titiro, i mahi ki nga Paara, ki te Ahataroto, ki nga atua o Hiria, ki nga atua o Hairona, ki nga atua o Moapa, ki nga atua o nga tamariki a Amona, ki nga atua o nga Pirihitini: whakarerea ak e e ratou a Ihowa, kihai ano hoki i mahi ki a ia.
7 And the Lord, becoming angry against them, delivered them into the hands of the Philistines and the sons of Ammon.
Na ka mura te riri o Ihowa ki a Iharaira, a hokona atu ana ratou e ia ki te ringa o nga Pirihitini, ki te ringa hoki o nga tamariki a Amona.
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,
A i taua tau i kurua, i tukinotia e ratou nga tamariki a Iharaira; a tekau ma waru nga tau i tukinotia ai nga tamariki katoa a Iharaira i tawahi o Horano, i te whenua o nga Amori, i Kireara.
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.
Na ka whiti atu nga tamariki a Amona i Horano ki te whawhai ano hoki ki a Hura, ki a Pineamine, ki te whare hoki o Eparaima, a taea rawatia iho te raru o Iharaira.
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.”
Katahi ka karanga nga tamariki a Iharaira ki a Ihowa, ka mea, Kua hara matou ki a koe, kua whakarerea hoki e matou to matou atua, kua mahi hoki ki nga Paara.
11 And the Lord said to them: “Did not the Egyptians, and the Amorites, and the sons of Ammon, and the Philistines,
A ka mea a Ihowa ki nga tamariki a Iharaira, Kahore ianei koutou i whakaorangia e ahau i nga Ihipiana, i nga Amori, i nga tamariki a Amona, i nga Pirihitini?
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?
I tukino ano hoki nga Haironi, nga Amareki, ratou ko nga Maoni i a koutou, a, no ta koutou tangihanga ki ahau, ka ora koutou i ahau i roto i to ratou ringa.
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.
Heoi whakarerea ana ahau e koutou, a mahi ana koutou ki nga atua ke: koia ahau te whakaora ai ano i a koutou.
14 Go, and call upon the gods whom you have chosen. Let them free you in the time of anguish.”
Haere, karanga atu ki a koutou atua i whiriwhiri ai; ma ratou koutou e whakaora i te wa o to koutou hemanawa.
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.”
Na ka mea nga tamariki a Iharaira ki a Ihowa, Kua hara matou, mau e mea ki a matou nga mea katoa e pai ana ki tau titiro; otiia whakaorangia matou inaianei.
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.
Na ka whakarerea e ratou nga atua ke i roto i a ratou, a ka mahi ki a Ihowa: na ka koingo tona ngakau ki a Iharaira i mate nei.
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.
Na ka huihuia nga tamariki a Amona, a ka noho ki Kireara, i huihui ano nga tamariki a Iharaira, a noho ana i Mihipa.
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.”
Na ka mea te iwi ratou ko nga rangatira o Kireara tetahi ki tetahi, Ko wae te tangata hei timata i te whawhai ki nga tamariki a Amona? ka waiho ia hei upoko mo nga tangata katoa o Kireara.
