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.
Baada ya Abimeleki, Tola mwana wa Pua mwana wa Dodo, mtu wa Isakari, aliyeishi huko Shamiri, katika nchi ya vilima ya Efraimu, akainuka kuokoa Israeli.
2 And he iudged Israel three and twentie yeere and dyed, and was buried in Shamir.
Akaamua Israeli kwa miaka ishirini na mitatu. Ndipo akafa, naye akazikwa huko Shamiri.
3 And after him arose Iair a Gileadite, and iudged Israel two and twenty yeere.
Baada yake akafuatiwa na Yairi, Mgileadi, ambaye aliamua Israeli kwa miaka ishirini na miwili.
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.
Alikuwa na wana thelathini waliopanda punda thelathini. Nao walikuwa na miji thelathini iliyoko Gileadi, inayoitwa Hawoth-Yairi mpaka leo.
5 And Iair dyed, and was buried in Kamon.
Yairi akafa, naye akazikwa huko 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.
Wana wa Israeli wakatenda tena maovu machoni pa Bwana. Wakaabudu Mabaali na Maashtorethi, miungu ya Aramu, miungu ya Sidoni, miungu ya Moabu, miungu ya Waamoni na miungu ya Wafilisti. Kwa kuwa Waisraeli walimwacha Bwana wala hawakuendelea kumtumikia,
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:
hivyo hasira ya Bwana ikawaka dhidi ya Israeli, naye akawatia mikononi mwa Wafilisti na Waamoni,
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.
ambao waliwaonea na kuwatesa mwaka ule. Kwa miaka kumi na minane wakawatesa Waisraeli wote upande wa mashariki ya Mto Yordani katika Gileadi, nchi ya Waamori.
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.
Waamoni nao wakavuka Yordani ili kupigana na Yuda, Benyamini na nyumba ya Efraimu, nayo nyumba ya Israeli ikawa katika taabu kubwa.
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.
Ndipo Waisraeli wakamlilia Bwana wakasema, “Tumetenda dhambi dhidi yako, kumwacha Mungu wetu na kutumikia Mabaali.”
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?
Bwana akawaambia, “Wakati Wamisri, Waamori, Waamoni, Wafilisti,
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.
Wasidoni, Waamaleki na Wamaoni walipowaonea na ninyi mkanililia na kuomba msaada, je, sikuwaokoa kutoka mikononi mwao?
13 Yet ye haue forsaken me, and serued other gods: wherefore I will deliuer you no more.
Lakini ninyi mmeniacha mimi na kutumikia miungu mingine, kwa hiyo sitawaokoa tena.
14 Goe, and cry vnto the gods which ye haue chosen: let them saue you in the time of your tribulation.
Nendeni mkaililie ile miungu mlioichagua. Hiyo miungu na iwaokoe mnapokuwa katika taabu!”
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.
Lakini Waisraeli wakamwambia Bwana, “Tumetenda dhambi. Ututendee lile unaloona kuwa jema kwako, lakini twakusihi utuokoe sasa.”
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.
Nao wakaiondoa hiyo miungu migeni katikati yao nao wakamtumikia Bwana. Naye akahuzunika kwa sababu ya taabu ya Israeli.
17 Then the children of Ammon gathered themselues together, and pitched in Gilead: and the children of Israel assembled themselues, and pitched in Mizpeh.
Ndipo Waamoni wakaitwa vitani na kupiga kambi huko Gileadi, Waisraeli wakakusanyika na kupiga kambi huko Mispa.
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.
Viongozi wa watu wa Gileadi wakaambiana wao kwa wao, “Yeyote yule atakayeanzisha mashambulizi dhidi ya Waamoni atakuwa kiongozi wa wote wakaao Gileadi.”
