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.
Poslije Abimeleka ustao je Tola, sin Pue, sina Dodova, da izbavi Izraela. On bijaše iz Jisakarova plemena, a živio je u Šamiru, u Efrajimovoj gori.
2 He led Israel as a judge for twenty-three years. Then he died and was buried in Shamir.
Bio je sudac Izraelu dvadeset i tri godine, a kad je umro, pokopali su ga u Šamiru.
3 After Tola came Jair from Gilead, who led Israel as a judge for twenty-two years.
Poslije njega ustao je Jair Gileađanin, koji je bio sudac Izraelu dvadeset i dvije godine.
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.
Imao je trideset sinova koji su jahali na tridesetero magaradi i imali trideset gradova što se do dana današnjega zovu Sela Jairova, a nalaze se u gileadskoj zemlji.
5 Jair died and he was buried in Kamon.
Kad umrije Jair, pokopaše ga u Kamonu.
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.
Izraelci su opet stali činiti ono što Jahvi nije po volji. Služili su baalima i aštartama, aramejskim bogovima i sidonskim bogovima, bogovima Moabaca, bogovima Amonaca i bogovima Filistejaca. A Jahvu su napustili i nisu mu više služili.
7 So the Lord became angry with Israel, and he sold them to the Philistines and the Ammonites.
Tad planu Jahve gnjevom i predade ih u ruke Filistejcima i Amoncima.
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.
Oni su od tada osamnaest godina satirali i tlačili Izraelce - sve Izraelce koji življahu s onu stranu Jordana, u zemlji amorejskoj, koja je u Gileadu.
9 The Ammonites also crossed the Jordan to attack Judah, Benjamin, and Ephraim, causing terrible trouble for Israel.
Potom su Amonci prešli Jordan da zavojšte i na Judu, Benjamina i na Efrajima te se Izrael nađe u velikoj nevolji.
10 The Israelites cried out to the Lord for help, saying, “We have sinned against you, rejecting our God and worshiping the Baals.”
Tada zavapiše Izraelci Jahvi govoreći: “Griješili smo prema tebi jer smo ostavili Jahvu, svoga Boga, da bismo služili baalima.”
11 The Lord replied to the Israelites, “Didn't I save you from the Egyptians, the Amorites, the Ammonites, the Philistines,
A Jahve odgovori Izraelcima: “Nisu li vas tlačili Egipćani i Amorejci, Amonci i Filistejci,
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?
Sidonci, Amalečani i Midjanci? Ali kad ste zavapili prema meni, nisam li vas izbavio iz njihovih ruku?
13 But you have rejected me and worshiped other gods, so I won't save you again.
Ali vi ostaviste mene i uzeste služiti drugim bogovima. Zbog toga vas neću više izbavljati.
14 Go and cry out for help to the gods you have chosen. Let them save you in your time of trouble.”
Idite i vapite za pomoć onim bogovima koje ste izabrali! Neka vas oni izbave iz vaše nevolje!”
15 The Israelites said to the Lord, “We have sinned! Treat us in whatever way you think you should, only please save us now!”
Izraelci odgovoriše Jahvi: “Sagriješili smo! Čini s nama što ti drago, samo nas danas izbavi!”
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.
I odstraniše tuđe bogove i počeše opet služiti Jahvi. A Jahve više ne mogaše trpjeti da Izraelci pate.
17 The Ammonite armies had been called up and were camped in Gilead. The Israelites assembled and camped at Mizpah.
Kada su se Amonci sabrali i utaborili u Gileadu, skupiše se i Izraelci i utaboriše se u Mispi.
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.”
Tada narod i knezovi gileadski rekoše jedni drugima: “Koji čovjek povede boj protiv Amonaca, neka bude poglavar svima koji žive u Gileadu.”
