< 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:
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 And he judged Israel three and twenty years, and he died and was buried in Samir.
Li te chèf nan peyi Izrayèl la pandan venntwazan. Apre sa, li mouri. Yo antere l' lavil Chami.
3 To him succeeded Jair the Galaadite, who judged Israel for two and twenty years.
Apre li, se Jayi, moun peyi Galarad, ki te parèt. Li gouvènen peyi Izrayèl la pandan venndezan.
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.
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 Jair died: and was buried in the place which was called Camon.
Jayi mouri, yo antere l' lavil 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.
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 Lord being angry with them, delivered them into the hands of the Philistines and 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 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:
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 Insomuch that the children of Ammon passing over the Jordan, wasted Juda and Benjamin and Ephraim: and Israel was distressed exceedingly.
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 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.
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 them: Did not the Egyptians and the Amorrhites, 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 The Sidonians also and Amalec and Chanaan oppress you, and you cried to me, and I delivered you out of their hand?
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 And yet you have forsaken me, and have worshipped strange gods: therefore I will deliver you no more:
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 and call upon the gods which you have chosen: let them deliver you in the time of distress.
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 have sinned, do thou unto us whatsoever pleaseth thee: only deliver us this time.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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!
