< 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.
Bangʼ loch Abimelek ja-Isakar, Tola wuod Pua, ma wuod Dodo, nowuok mondo ores jo-Israel. Nodak Shamir, e piny got mar Efraim.
2 And he judged Israel twenty and three years, and died, and was buried in Shamir.
Notelo ne Israel kuom higni piero ariyo gadek; eka notho, kendo noyike Shamir.
3 And after him arose Jair, a Gileadite, and judged Israel twenty and two years.
Noluwe gi Jair ma ja-Gilead, ma notelo ne Israel kuom higni piero ariyo gariyo.
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.
Ne en-gi yawuowi piero adek mane nigi punde piero adek mane giidho. Negitelone mier piero adek man Gilead, manyaka kawuononi pod iluongo ni Havoth Jair.
5 And Jair died, and was buried in Camon.
Ka Jair notho, noyike Kamon.
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.
Jo-Israel nochako otimo timbe mamono e wangʼ Jehova Nyasaye. Negitiyone Baal gi Ashtoreth, kod nyiseche mag jo-Aram, gi nyiseche mag jo-Sidon, nyiseche mag jo-Moab, nyiseche mag jo-Amon kod nyiseche mag jo-Filistia. Bende nikech jo-Israel nojwangʼo Jehova Nyasaye mi ok gitiyone,
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.
iye nowangʼ kodgi. Nochiwogi e lwet jo-Filistia kod jo-Amon,
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.
mane osandogi kendo othirogi e higano. Kuom higni apar gaboro negisando jo-Israel duto mane nitie yo wuok chiengʼ mar Jordan e piny Gilead, ma en piny jo-Amor.
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.
Jo-Amon bende nongʼado Jordan mondo oked gi jo-Juda, jo-Benjamin kod od Efraim; kendo Israel nenie thagruok malich.
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.
Eka jo-Israel noywak ne Jehova Nyasaye, “Waseketho e nyimi, ka waweyo Nyasachwa kendo watiyone nyiseche mag Baal.”
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?
Jehova Nyasaye nodwoko niya, “E kinde mane jo-Misri, jo-Amor, jo-Amon, jo-Filistia,
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.
jo-Sidon, jo-Amalek kod jo-Maon nothirou kendo ne uywakna mondo akonyu, donge ne aresou ma ua e lwetgi?
13 Yet ye have forsaken me, and served other gods: wherefore I will deliver you no more.
To usejwangʼa mutiyone nyiseche mamoko, omiyo koro ok anachak aresu.
14 Go and cry unto the gods which ye have chosen; let them deliver you in the time of your tribulation.
Dhiuru kendo uywagne nyisecheu ma useyiero. Weuru giresu sa ma un e thagruok!”
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.
To jo-Israel nowachone Jehova Nyasaye niya, “Wasetimo richo. Timnwa gimoro amora miparo ni berni, to kiyie to reswa sani.”
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.
Eka ne giwito nyiseche manono kendo negitiyo ni Jehova Nyasaye. Eka Jehova Nyasaye nokecho jo-Israel kuom thagruokgi.
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.
Ka jo-Amon noluongi mondo oik gige lweny mag-gi kendo gichokre Gilead, jo-Israel to nochokore Mizpa.
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.
Jotend jo-Gilead nowacho kendgi giwegi niya, “Ngʼato angʼata ma nemonj jo-Amon ema nobed jotend jogo duto modak Gilead.”
