Judges 10
1 AND after Abimelech there arose to defend Israel Tola the son of Puah, the son of Dodo, a man of Issachar; and he dwelt in Shamir in mount Ephraim.
Poslije Abimeleka ustao je Tola, sin Pue, sina Dodova, da izbavi Izraela. On bijaše iz Jisakarova plemena, a živio je u Šamiru, u Efrajimovoj gori.
2 And he judged Israel twenty and three years, and died, and was buried in Shamir.
Bio je sudac Izraelu dvadeset i tri godine, a kad je umro, pokopali su ga u Šamiru.
3 And after him arose Jair, a Gileadite, and judged Israel twenty and two years.
Poslije njega ustao je Jair Gileađanin, koji je bio sudac Izraelu dvadeset i dvije godine.
4 And he had thirty sons that rode on thirty ass colts, and they had thirty cities, which are called Havoth-jair unto this day, which are in the land of Gilead.
Imao je trideset sinova koji su jahali na tridesetero magaradi i imali trideset gradova što se do dana današnjega zovu Sela Jairova, a nalaze se u gileadskoj zemlji.
5 And Jair died, and was buried in Camon.
Kad umrije Jair, pokopaše ga u Kamonu.
6 And the children of Israel did evil again in the sight of the Lord, and served Baalim, and Ashtaroth, and the gods of Syria, 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 forsook the Lord, and served not him.
Izraelci su opet stali činiti ono što Jahvi nije po volji. Služili su baalima i aštartama, aramejskim bogovima i sidonskim bogovima, bogovima Moabaca, bogovima Amonaca i bogovima Filistejaca. A Jahvu su napustili i nisu mu više služili.
7 And the anger of the Lord was hot against Israel, and he sold them into the hands of the Philistines, and into the hands of the children of Ammon.
Tad planu Jahve gnjevom i predade ih u ruke Filistejcima i Amoncima.
8 And that year they vexed and oppressed the children of Israel: eighteen years, all the children of Israel that were on the other side Jordan in the land of the Amorites, which is in Gilead.
Oni su od tada osamnaest godina satirali i tlačili Izraelce - sve Izraelce koji življahu s onu stranu Jordana, u zemlji amorejskoj, koja je u Gileadu.
9 Moreover the children of Ammon passed over Jordan to fight also against Judah, and against Benjamin, and against the house of Ephraim; so that Israel was sore distressed.
Potom su Amonci prešli Jordan da zavojšte i na Judu, Benjamina i na Efrajima te se Izrael nađe u velikoj nevolji.
10 And the children of Israel cried unto the Lord, saying, We have sinned against thee, both because we have forsaken our God, and also served Baalim.
Tada zavapiše Izraelci Jahvi govoreći: “Griješili smo prema tebi jer smo ostavili Jahvu, svoga Boga, da bismo služili baalima.”
11 And the Lord said unto the children of Israel, Did not I deliver you from the Egyptians, and from the Amorites, from the children of Ammon, and from the Philistines?
A Jahve odgovori Izraelcima: “Nisu li vas tlačili Egipćani i Amorejci, Amonci i Filistejci,
12 The Zidonians also, and the Amalekites, and the Maonites, did oppress you; and ye cried to me, and I delivered you out of their hand.
Sidonci, Amalečani i Midjanci? Ali kad ste zavapili prema meni, nisam li vas izbavio iz njihovih ruku?
13 Yet ye have forsaken me, and served other gods: wherefore I will deliver you no more.
Ali vi ostaviste mene i uzeste služiti drugim bogovima. Zbog toga vas neću više izbavljati.
14 Go and cry unto the gods which ye have chosen; let them deliver you in the time of your tribulation.
Idite i vapite za pomoć onim bogovima koje ste izabrali! Neka vas oni izbave iz vaše nevolje!”
15 And the children of Israel said unto the Lord, We have sinned: do thou unto us whatsoever seemeth good unto thee; deliver us only, we pray thee, this day.
Izraelci odgovoriše Jahvi: “Sagriješili smo! Čini s nama što ti drago, samo nas danas izbavi!”
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.
I odstraniše tuđe bogove i počeše opet služiti Jahvi. A Jahve više ne mogaše trpjeti da Izraelci pate.
17 Then the children of Ammon were gathered together, and encamped in Gilead. And the children of Israel assembled themselves together, and encamped in Mizpeh.
Kada su se Amonci sabrali i utaborili u Gileadu, skupiše se i Izraelci i utaboriše se u Mispi.
18 And the people and 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.
Tada narod i knezovi gileadski rekoše jedni drugima: “Koji čovjek povede boj protiv Amonaca, neka bude poglavar svima koji žive u Gileadu.”
