< Judges 10 >

1 After Abimelech's time, Tola, son of Puah, son of Dodo, from the tribe of Issachar, came on the scene to save Israel. He lived in the town of Shamir, in the hill country of 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 He led Israel as a judge for twenty-three years. Then he died and was buried in Shamir.
Israel te kum kul kum thum lai a tloek pah tih a duek vaengah Shamir ah a up uh.
3 After Tola came Jair from Gilead, who led Israel as a judge for twenty-two years.
Anih hnukah Giladi Jair ha phoe tih Israel te kum kul kum nit lai a tloek pah.
4 He had thirty sons who rode thirty donkeys. They had thirty towns in the land of Gilead, which to this day are called the Towns of Jair.
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 Jair died and he was buried in Kamon.
Jair a duek vaengah Kamon ah a up uh.
6 Once again the Israelites did what was evil in the Lord's sight. They worshiped the Baals and the Ashtoreths, as well as the gods of Aram, Sidon, and Moab, and the gods of the Ammonites and Philistines. They rejected the Lord and 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 So the Lord became angry with Israel, and he sold them to the Philistines and the Ammonites.
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 That year and for eighteen more years they harassed and oppressed the Israelites, all the Israelites that lived on the east side of the Jordan in Gilead, the land of the Amorites.
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 The Ammonites also crossed the Jordan to attack Judah, Benjamin, and Ephraim, causing terrible trouble for Israel.
Judah, Benjamin, Ephraim imkhui te vathoh thil ham khaw Ammon ca rhoek loh Jordan a poeng uh dongah Israel te mat a daengdaeh.
10 The Israelites cried out to the Lord for help, saying, “We have sinned against you, rejecting our God and worshiping 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 The Lord replied to the Israelites, “Didn't I save you from the Egyptians, the Amorites, the Ammonites, the Philistines,
Te vaengah Israel ca rhoek te BOEIPA loh, “Egypt vaengah khaw, Amori vaengah khaw, Ammon ca rhoek neh Philisti vaengah khaw,
12 the Sidonians, the Amalekites, and the Maonites? When they attacked you, and you cried out to me for help, didn't I save you from them?
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 But you have rejected me and worshiped other gods, so I won't save you again.
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 cry out for help to the gods you have chosen. Let them save you in your time of trouble.”
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 The Israelites said to the Lord, “We have sinned! Treat us in whatever way you think you should, only please save 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 So they got rid of the foreign gods they had and worshiped the Lord. And the Lord couldn't stand Israel's misery any longer.
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 The Ammonite armies had been called up and were camped in Gilead. The Israelites assembled and camped 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 The commanders of the people of Gilead agreed among themselves, “Whoever leads the attack on the Ammonites will become ruler over everyone who lives in 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.
