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.

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 judged Israel twenty and three years, and died, and was buried in Shamir.

Akawa mwamuzi wa Israeli miaka ishirini na mitatu. Alikufa na kuzikwa Shamiri.

3 And after him arose Jair, the Gileadite; and he judged Israel twenty and two years.

Alifuatiwa na Yairi Mgileadi. Akawa mwamuzi wa Israeli miaka ishirini na miwili.

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.

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 Jair died, and was buried in Kamon.

Yairi alikufa na kuzikwa 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.

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 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.

Hasira ya Bwana ikawaka juu ya Israeli, naye akawauza mikononi mwa Wafilisti na katika mikono ya wana wa 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.

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 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.

Nao wana wa Amoni wakavuka Yordani, wakapigana na Yuda, na Benyamini, na nyumba ya Efraimu; Israeli akasumbuliwa sana.

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.'

Ndipo wana wa Israeli wakamwita Bwana, wakisema, “Tumekukosea, kwa sababu tumemwacha Mungu wetu, tukaabudu Mabaali.”

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?

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 oppress you; and ye cried unto Me, and I saved you out of their hand.

na pia kwa Wasidoni? Waamaleki na Wamaoni walipowakandamiza; mliniita, nami nikawaokoa kutoka katika nguvu zao.

13 Yet ye have forsaken Me, and served other gods; wherefore I will save you no more.

Lakini ninyi mliniacha tena na kuabudu miungu mingine. Kwa hiyo, sitawaokoa tena.

14 Go and cry unto the gods which ye have chosen; let them save you in the time of your distress.'

Nendeni mkaiite miungu mnayoiabudu. Ili iwaokoe wakati wa shida.

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.'

Wana wa Israeli wakamwambia Bwana, Tumefanya dhambi. Tufanyie chochote kinachoonekana kuwa kizuri kwako. Tafadhali, tuokoe leo.

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.

Wakaiacha miungu ya kigeni waliyokuwa nayo, nao wakamwabudu Bwana. Naye akawa na subira juu ya taabu ya Israeli.

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.

Ndipo Waamoni wakakusanyika, wakaweka kambi Gileadi. Waisraeli walikutana na kuweka kambi yao huko Mispa.

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.'

Viongozi wa watu wa Gileadi wakaambiana, 'Ni nani atakayeanza kupigana na Waamoni? Yeye atakuwa kiongozi juu ya wote wanaoishi Gileadi.
