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, aliyekaa Shamiri, katika mlima wa Efraimu, akaondoka ili kuwaokoa Israeli.
2 And he iudged Israel three and twentie yeere and dyed, and was buried in Shamir.
Akawa mwamuzi wa Israeli miaka ishirini na mitatu. Alikufa na kuzikwa Shamiri.
3 And after him arose Iair a Gileadite, and iudged Israel two and twenty yeere.
Alifuatiwa na Yairi Mgileadi. Akawa mwamuzi wa Israeli 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 waliokuwa wakipanda kwenye punda thelathini, na walikuwa na miji thelathini, ambayo inaitwa Hawoth Yairi hata leo, iliyo katika nchi ya Gileadi.
5 And Iair dyed, and was buried in Kamon.
Yairi alikufa na kuzikwa 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.
Watu wa Israeli waliendelea kutenda maovu mbele za Bwana, wakaabudu Mabaali, Maashtoreti, miungu ya Aramu, miungu ya Sidoni, miungu ya Moabu, miungu ya wana wa Amoni, na miungu ya Wafilisti. Wakamsahau Bwana na hawakamsujudia tena.
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:
Hasira ya Bwana ikawaka juu ya Israeli, naye akawauza mikononi mwa Wafilisti na katika mikono ya wana wa Amoni.
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.
Wakawaangamiza na kuwadhulumu watu wa Israeli mwaka huo, na kwa muda wa miaka kumi na nane waliwafukuza watu wote wa Israeli waliokuwa ng'ambo ya Yordani katika nchi ya Waamori, iliyoko Gileadi.
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.
Nao wana wa Amoni wakavuka Yordani, wakapigana na Yuda, na Benyamini, na nyumba ya Efraimu; Israeli akasumbuliwa sana.
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 wana wa Israeli wakamwita Bwana, wakisema, “Tumekukosea, kwa sababu tumemwacha Mungu wetu, tukaabudu 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 wana wa Israeli, “Je, sikuwatoa ninyi kutoka kwa Wamisri, na Waamori, na Waamoni, na 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.
na pia kwa Wasidoni? Waamaleki na Wamaoni walipowakandamiza; mliniita, nami nikawaokoa kutoka katika nguvu zao.
13 Yet ye haue forsaken me, and serued other gods: wherefore I will deliuer you no more.
Lakini ninyi mliniacha tena na kuabudu 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 mkaiite miungu mnayoiabudu. Ili iwaokoe wakati wa shida.
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.
Wana wa Israeli wakamwambia Bwana, Tumefanya dhambi. Tufanyie chochote kinachoonekana kuwa kizuri kwako. Tafadhali, tuokoe leo.
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.
Wakaiacha miungu ya kigeni waliyokuwa nayo, nao wakamwabudu Bwana. Naye akawa na subira juu 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 wakakusanyika, wakaweka kambi Gileadi. Waisraeli walikutana na kuweka kambi yao 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, 'Ni nani atakayeanza kupigana na Waamoni? Yeye atakuwa kiongozi juu ya wote wanaoishi Gileadi.
