Judges 10
1 And after Abimelech there arose to save Israel Tola the son of Puah, the son of Dodo, a man of Issachar; and he dwelt in Shamir in the hill-country of Ephraim.
Awo oluvannyuma lwa Abimereki, ne wabaawo Toola mutabani wa Puwa, era muzzukulu wa Dodo, omusajja wa Isakaali eyajja okulokola Isirayiri, eyabeeranga mu Samiri mu nsi ya Efulayimu ey’ensozi.
2 And he judged Israel twenty and three years, and died, and was buried in Shamir.
N’akulembera Isirayiri okumala emyaka amakumi abiri mu esatu, n’aziikibwa mu Samiri.
3 And after him arose Jair, the Gileadite; and he judged Israel twenty and two years.
Oluvannyuma lw’oyo ne wabaawo Yayiri Omugireyaadi, eyakulembera Isirayiri okumala emyaka amakumi abiri mu ebiri.
4 And he had thirty sons that rode on thirty ass colts, and they had thirty cities, which are called Havvoth-jair unto this day, which are in the land of Gilead.
Yalina abaana aboobulenzi amakumi asatu abeebagalanga endogoyi amakumi asatu, era baafuganga ebibuga amakumi asatu, mu nsi ya Gireyaadi ebiyitibwa Kavosu Yayiri n’okutuusa leero.
5 And Jair died, and was buried in Kamon.
Yayiri n’afa n’aziikibwa mu Kamoni.
6 And the children of Israel again did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, and served the Baalim, and the 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 Philistines; and they forsook the LORD, and served Him not.
Abayisirayiri ne beeyongera okukola ebibi mu maaso ga Mukama, nga baweereza Babaali ne Asutoleesi ne bakatonda ab’e Busuuli, ne bakatonda ab’e Sidoni, ne bakatonda ab’e Mowaabu, ne bakatonda ab’abaana ba Amoni, ne bakatonda b’Abafirisuuti, ne bava ku Mukama ne batamuweereza.
7 And the anger of the LORD was kindled against Israel, and He gave them over into the hand of the Philistines, and into the hand of the children of Ammon.
Mukama n’anyiigira Isirayiri, n’abagabula mu mukono gw’Abafirisuuti ne mu mukono gw’abaana ba Amoni,
8 And they oppressed and crushed the children of Israel that year; eighteen years oppressed they all the children of Israel that were beyond the Jordan in the land of the Amorites, which is in Gilead.
abaanyigiriza abaana ba Isirayiri, era ne babajooga okumala emyaka kkumi na munaana. Baanyigiriza abaana ba Isirayiri bonna abaali emitala wa Yoludaani ku luuyi olw’ebuvanjuba mu nsi y’Abamoli eri mu Gireyaadi.
9 And the children of Ammon passed over the Jordan to fight also against Judah, and against Benjamin, and against the house of Ephraim, so that Israel was sore distressed.
Abaana ba Amoni nabo ne basomoka Yoludaani okulwanyisa Yuda ne Benyamini, n’ennyumba ya Efulayimu. Isirayiri ne yeeraliikirira nnyo.
10 And the children of Israel cried unto the LORD, saying: 'We have sinned against Thee, in that we have forsaken our God, and have served the Baalim.'
Awo abaana ba Isirayiri ne bakaabira Mukama nga bagamba nti, “Ddala ddala twasobya, ne tuva ku Katonda waffe, ne tuweereza Babaali.”
11 And the LORD said unto the children of Israel: 'Did not I save you from the Egyptians, and from the Amorites, from the children of Ammon, and from the Philistines?
Mukama Katonda n’addamu abaana ba Isirayiri nti, “Abamisiri n’Abamoli, n’abaana ba Amoni, n’Abafirisuuti,
12 The Zidonians also, and the Amalekites, and the Maonites, did oppress you; and ye cried unto Me, and I saved you out of their hand.
n’Abasidoni, n’Abamaleki, n’Abamawoni, bwe baabanyigiriza ne munkowoola, sabalokola okuva mu mukono gwabwe?
13 Yet ye have forsaken Me, and served other gods; wherefore I will save you no more.
Naye mwanvaako ne muweereza bakatonda abalala, noolwekyo sigenda kubalokola nate.
14 Go and cry unto the gods which ye have chosen; let them save you in the time of your distress.'
Mugende mukaabire bakatonda abo be mwasalawo okuweereza, babalokole mu nnaku yammwe.”
15 And the children of Israel said unto the LORD: 'We have sinned; do Thou unto us whatsoever seemeth good unto Thee; only deliver us, we pray Thee, this day.'
Naye abaana ba Isirayiri ne bagamba Mukama Katonda nti, “Twayonoona. Tukole kyonna ky’onoolaba nga kye kitusaanira. Kyokka tulokole kaakano.
16 And they put away the strange gods from among them, and served the LORD; and His soul was grieved for the misery of Israel.
Ne baggya wakati mu bo bakatonda abalala, ne baweereza Mukama Katonda. Mukama n’alumwa olw’ennaku ya Isirayiri.”
17 Then the children of Ammon were gathered together, and encamped in Gilead. And the children of Israel assembled themselves together, and encamped in Mizpah.
Awo abaana ba Amoni ne basiisira mu Gireyaadi, n’abaana ba Isirayiri nabo ne basiisira mu Mizupa.
18 And the people, the princes of Gilead, said one to another: 'What man is he that will begin to fight against the children of Ammon? he shall be head over all the inhabitants of Gilead.'
Abakulembeze b’abantu mu Gireyaadi ne bagambagana nti, “Omusajja anaasooka okulumba abaana ba Amoni, ye anaabeera omukulembeze w’abatuuze b’omu Gireyaadi.”
