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.
Sima na kufa ya Abimeleki, ezalaki Tola, mwana mobali ya Puwa, mwana mobali ya Dodo, moto ya Isakari, nde atelemaki mpo na kobikisa Isalaele. Azalaki kovanda na Shamiri, kati na etuka ya bangomba ya Efrayimi.
2 He led Israel as a judge for twenty-three years. Then he died and was buried in Shamir.
Akambaki Isalaele mibu tuku mibale na misato; sima na yango, akufaki, mpe bakundaki ye na Shamiri.
3 After Tola came Jair from Gilead, who led Israel as a judge for twenty-two years.
Yairi, moto ya Galadi, akitanaki na Tola mpe akambaki Isalaele mibu tuku mibale na mibale.
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.
Azalaki na bana mibali tuku misato oyo bazalaki kotambola likolo ya ba-ane, mpe bazalaki na bamboka tuku misato kati na Galadi. Kino na mokolo ya lelo, babengaka yango « Bamboka ya Yairi. »
5 Jair died and he was buried in Kamon.
Yairi akufaki, mpe bakundaki ye na Kamone.
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.
Bana ya Isalaele basalaki lisusu makambo mabe na miso ya Yawe; basalelaki banzambe Bala, Asitarite, mpe banzambe ya Siri, ya Sidoni, ya Moabi, ya Amoni mpe ya Filisitia. Basundolaki Yawe mpe basalelaki Ye lisusu te.
7 So the Lord became angry with Israel, and he sold them to the Philistines and the Ammonites.
Boye, kanda ya Yawe epelaki likolo ya Isalaele, mpe Yawe akabaki bango na maboko ya bato ya Filisitia mpe ya bato ya Amoni.
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.
Mibu zomi na mwambe, banyokolaki bana nyonso ya Isalaele oyo bazalaki kovanda na ngambo mosusu ya Yordani, mokili ya bato ya Amori, kati na Galadi.
9 The Ammonites also crossed the Jordan to attack Judah, Benjamin, and Ephraim, causing terrible trouble for Israel.
Bato ya Amoni mpe bakatisaki na ngambo ya Yordani mpo na kobundisa libota ya Yuda, ya Benjame mpe ya Efrayimi. Boye, Isalaele akomaki na pasi mingi.
10 The Israelites cried out to the Lord for help, saying, “We have sinned against you, rejecting our God and worshiping the Baals.”
Bana ya Isalaele bagangaki epai ya Yawe: — Tosalaki masumu na miso na Yo, pamba te tosundolaki Yo, Nzambe na biso, mpe tosalelaki banzambe Bala.
11 The Lord replied to the Israelites, “Didn't I save you from the Egyptians, the Amorites, the Ammonites, the Philistines,
Yawe azongiselaki bana ya Isalaele: — Boni, nabikisaki bino te na maboko ya bato ya Ejipito, ya Amori, ya Amoni mpe ya Filisitia?
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?
Tango bato ya Sidoni, ya Amaleki mpe ya Maoni banyokolaki bino, boni, bogangaki epai na Ngai te mpo na kosenga lisungi? Boni, nakangolaki bino te wuta na maboko na bango?
13 But you have rejected me and worshiped other gods, so I won't save you again.
Kasi bino, bosundolaki Ngai mpe bosalelaki banzambe mosusu. Yango wana, nakokangola bino lisusu te.
14 Go and cry out for help to the gods you have chosen. Let them save you in your time of trouble.”
Bokende koganga epai ya banzambe oyo boponaki mpo ete ebikisa bino awa bozali kati na pasi.
15 The Israelites said to the Lord, “We have sinned! Treat us in whatever way you think you should, only please save us now!”
Kasi bana ya Isalaele balobaki na Yawe: — Ya solo, tosalaki lisumu na miso na Yo. Oyo omoni ete ezali malamu na miso na Yo, sala yango na biso; kasi tobondeli Yo: bikisa biso lisusu sik’oyo!
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.
Bongo bana ya Isalaele balongolaki banzambe ya bapaya kati na bango mpe basalelaki Yawe. Mpe Yawe akokaki lisusu te kotala pasi na bango.
17 The Ammonite armies had been called up and were camped in Gilead. The Israelites assembled and camped at Mizpah.
Tango bato ya Amoni basanganaki mpe batiaki molako na bango kati na Galadi, bana ya Isalaele basanganaki mpe batiaki molako na bango kati na Mitsipa.
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.”
Bato mpe bakonzi ya Galadi balobanaki: « Moto oyo akobundisa liboso bana ya Amoni akozala mokonzi ya bato nyonso ya Galadi. »
