Judges 10
1 After Abimelech there arose to defend Israel, Tola, the sonne of Puah, the sone of Dodo, a man of Issachar, which dwelt in Shamir in mount Ephraim.
Atafa Abimeleki panabwera Tola mwana wa Puwa, mdzukulu wa Dodo kudzapulumutsa Aisraeli. Iyeyu anali wa fuko la Isakara ndipo ankakhala ku Samiri mʼdziko la mapiri la Efereimu.
2 And he iudged Israel three and twentie yeere and dyed, and was buried in Shamir.
Iye anatsogolera Aisraeli kwa zaka 23, ndipo anamwalira ndi kuyikidwa ku Samiri.
3 And after him arose Iair a Gileadite, and iudged Israel two and twenty yeere.
Atafa Tola panabwera Yairi wa ku Giliyadi, amene anatsogolera Israeli kwa zaka 22.
4 And he had thirtie sonnes that rode on thirtie assecolts, and they had thirtie cities, which are called Hauoth-Iair vnto this day, and are in the land of Gilead.
Iyeyu anali ndi ana aamuna makumi atatu, amene ankakwera pa abulu makumi atatu. Iwo anali ndi mizinda makumi atatu mʼdziko la Giliyadi, imene mpaka lero ikutchedwa kuti Havoti Yairi.
5 And Iair dyed, and was buried in Kamon.
Atamwalira Yairi anayikidwa mʼmanda ku Kamoni.
6 And the children of Israel wrought wickednesse againe in the sight of the Lord, and serued Baalim and Ashtaroth, and the gods of Aram, and the gods of Zidon, and the gods of Moab, and the gods of the children of Ammon, and the gods of the Philistims, and forsooke the Lord and serued not him.
Aisraeli anachitanso zoyipira Yehova. Iwo anatumikira Abaala ndi Asitoreti, milungu ya ku Aramu, Sidoni, Mowabu, Aamoni ndi Afilisti. Choncho analeka osatumikiranso Yehova.
7 Therefore the wrath of the Lord was kindled against Israel, and he solde them into the hands of the Philistims, and into the handes of the children of Ammon:
Tsono Yehova anapsera mtima Aisraeli ndipo anawapereka mʼmanja mwa Afilisti ndi Aamoni.
8 Who from that yere vexed and oppressed the children of Israel eighteene yeres, euen all the children of Israel that were beyond Iorden, in the land of the Amorites, which is in Gilead.
Iwowa anawagonjetseratu Aisraeli mʼchaka chimenechi, ndipo kwa zaka 18 anakhala akusautsa Aisraeli onse amene anali pa tsidya la Yorodani, mʼdziko la Aamori ku Giliyadi.
9 Moreouer, the children of Ammon went ouer Iorden to fight against Iudah, and against Beniamin, and against the house of Ephraim: so that Israel was sore tormented.
Aamori anawoloka mtsinje wa Yorodani kukathira nkhondo mafuko a Yuda, Benjamini ndi Efereimu kotero kuti Israeli anavutika kwambiri.
10 Then the children of Israel cryed vnto the Lord, saying, We haue sinned against thee, euen because we haue forsaken our owne God, and haue serued Baalim.
Kenaka Aisraeli analira kwa Yehova kuti, “Ife takuchimwirani popeza tasiya Inu Mulungu wathu ndi kutumikira Abaala.”
11 And the Lord sayd vnto the children of Israel, Did not I deliuer you from the Egyptians and from the Amorites, from the children of Ammon and from the Philistims?
Yehova anawafunsa kuti, “Suja ine ndinakupulumutsani kwa Aigupto, Aamori, Aamoni ndi Afilisti?
12 The Zidonians also, and the Amalekites, and the Maonites did oppresse you, and ye cryed to me and I saued you out of their hands.
Ndiponso pamene Asidoni, Aamaleki ndi Amoni anakuzunzani, inu nʼkulirira kwa ine suja ndinakupulumutsani kwa anthu amenewa?
13 Yet ye haue forsaken me, and serued other gods: wherefore I will deliuer you no more.
Komabe inu mwandikana ndipo mukutumikira milungu ina. Choncho sindidzakupulumutsaninso.
14 Goe, and cry vnto the gods which ye haue chosen: let them saue you in the time of your tribulation.
Pitani kalireni kwa milungu imene mwayisankha. Iyoyo ikupulumutseni ku mavuto anuwo.”
15 And the children of Israel sayde vnto the Lord, We haue sinned: doe thou vnto vs whatsoeuer please thee: onely we pray thee to deliuer vs this day.
Koma Aisraeli anayankha Yehova kuti, “Ife tachimwa. Tichitireni chimene mukuona kuti ndi chabwino, koma chonde tipulumutseni lero lokha.”
16 Then they put away the strange gods from among them and serued the Lord: and his soule was grieued for the miserie of Israel.
Ndipo anachotsa milungu ya chilendo pakati pawo ndi kuyamba kutumikira Yehova. Ndipo Yehova anamva chisoni poona mmene Aisraeli ankazunzikira.
17 Then the children of Ammon gathered themselues together, and pitched in Gilead: and the children of Israel assembled themselues, and pitched in Mizpeh.
Tsono Aamoni anasonkhana ndi kumanga zithando za nkhondo ku Giliyadi. Nawonso Aisraeli anasonkhana ndi kumanga zithando zawo za nkhondo ku Mizipa.
18 And the people and princes of Gilead said one to another, Whosoeuer will beginne the battell against the children of Ammon, the same shall be head ouer all the inhabitants of Gilead.
Kenaka anthuwo ndi atsogoleri a Agiliyadi anayamba kufunsana kuti, “Kodi ndi munthu wotani amene atayambe kuthira nkhondo Aamoni? Iyeyu adzakhala mtsogoleri wolamulira anthu onse a ku Giliyadi.”
