Judges 10

1 After Abimelech there arose a ruler in Israel, Thola son of Phua the uncle of Abimelech, a man of Issachar, who dwelt in Samir of mount Ephraim:

Bangʼ loch Abimelek ja-Isakar, Tola wuod Pua, ma wuod Dodo, nowuok mondo ores jo-Israel. Nodak Shamir, e piny got mar Efraim.

2 And he judged Israel three and twenty years, and he died and was buried in Samir.

Notelo ne Israel kuom higni piero ariyo gadek; eka notho, kendo noyike Shamir.

3 To him succeeded Jair the Galaadite, who judged Israel for two and twenty years.

Noluwe gi Jair ma ja-Gilead, ma notelo ne Israel kuom higni piero ariyo gariyo.

4 Having thirty sons that rode on thirty ass colts, and were princes of thirty cities, which from his name were called Havoth Jair, that is, the towns of Jair, until this present day in the land of Galaad.

Ne en-gi yawuowi piero adek mane nigi punde piero adek mane giidho. Negitelone mier piero adek man Gilead, manyaka kawuononi pod iluongo ni Havoth Jair.

5 And Jair died: and was buried in the place which was called Camon.

Ka Jair notho, noyike Kamon.

6 But the children of Israel, adding new sins to their old ones, did evil in the sight of the Lord, and served idols, Baalim and Astaroth, and the gods of Syria and of Sidon and of Moab and of the children of Ammon and of the Philistines: and they left the Lord, and did not serve him.

Jo-Israel nochako otimo timbe mamono e wangʼ Jehova Nyasaye. Negitiyone Baal gi Ashtoreth, kod nyiseche mag jo-Aram, gi nyiseche mag jo-Sidon, nyiseche mag jo-Moab, nyiseche mag jo-Amon kod nyiseche mag jo-Filistia. Bende nikech jo-Israel nojwangʼo Jehova Nyasaye mi ok gitiyone,

7 And the Lord being angry with them, delivered them into the hands of the Philistines and of the children of Ammon.

iye nowangʼ kodgi. Nochiwogi e lwet jo-Filistia kod jo-Amon,

8 And they were afflicted, and grievously oppressed for eighteen years, all they that dwelt beyond the Jordan in the land of the Amorrhite, who is in Galaad:

mane osandogi kendo othirogi e higano. Kuom higni apar gaboro negisando jo-Israel duto mane nitie yo wuok chiengʼ mar Jordan e piny Gilead, ma en piny jo-Amor.

9 Insomuch that the children of Ammon passing over the Jordan, wasted Juda and Benjamin and Ephraim: and Israel was distressed exceedingly.

Jo-Amon bende nongʼado Jordan mondo oked gi jo-Juda, jo-Benjamin kod od Efraim; kendo Israel nenie thagruok malich.

10 And they cried to the Lord, and said: We have sinned against thee, because we have forsaken the Lord our God, and have served Baalim.

Eka jo-Israel noywak ne Jehova Nyasaye, “Waseketho e nyimi, ka waweyo Nyasachwa kendo watiyone nyiseche mag Baal.”

11 And the Lord said to them: Did not the Egyptians and the Amorrhites, and the children of Ammon and the Philistines,

Jehova Nyasaye nodwoko niya, “E kinde mane jo-Misri, jo-Amor, jo-Amon, jo-Filistia,

12 The Sidonians also and Amalec and Chanaan oppress you, and you cried to me, and I delivered you out of their hand?

jo-Sidon, jo-Amalek kod jo-Maon nothirou kendo ne uywakna mondo akonyu, donge ne aresou ma ua e lwetgi?

13 And yet you have forsaken me, and have worshipped strange gods: therefore I will deliver you no more:

To usejwangʼa mutiyone nyiseche mamoko, omiyo koro ok anachak aresu.

14 Go and call upon the gods which you have chosen: let them deliver you in the time of distress.

Dhiuru kendo uywagne nyisecheu ma useyiero. Weuru giresu sa ma un e thagruok!”

15 And the children of Israel said to the Lord: We have sinned, do thou unto us whatsoever pleaseth thee: only deliver us this time.

To jo-Israel nowachone Jehova Nyasaye niya, “Wasetimo richo. Timnwa gimoro amora miparo ni berni, to kiyie to reswa sani.”

16 And saying these things, they cast away out of their coasts all the idols of strange gods and served the Lord their God: and he was touched with their miseries.

Eka ne giwito nyiseche manono kendo negitiyo ni Jehova Nyasaye. Eka Jehova Nyasaye nokecho jo-Israel kuom thagruokgi.

17 And the children of Ammon shouting together, pitched their tents in Galaad: against whom the children of Israel assembled themselves together and camped in Maspha.

Ka jo-Amon noluongi mondo oik gige lweny mag-gi kendo gichokre Gilead, jo-Israel to nochokore Mizpa.

18 And the princes of Galaad said one to another: Whosoever of us shall first begin to fight against the children of Ammon, he shall be the leader of the people of Galaad.

Jotend jo-Gilead nowacho kendgi giwegi niya, “Ngʼato angʼata ma nemonj jo-Amon ema nobed jotend jogo duto modak Gilead.”
