Judges 10
1 And after Abimelech Thola the son of Phua rose up to save Israel, [being] the son of his father's brother, a man of Issachar; and he lived in Samir in mount Ephraim.
Sesudah Abimelek meninggal, Tola anak Pua, cucu Dodo, tampil untuk menyelamatkan bangsa Israel. Dia berasal dari suku Isakar. Tempat tinggalnya di kota Samir, di perbukitan Efraim.
2 And he judged Israel twenty-three years, and died, and was buried in Samir.
Tola memimpin bangsa Israel selama dua puluh tiga tahun sampai dia meninggal. Lalu dia dimakamkan di Samir.
3 And after him arose Jair of Galaad, and he judged Israel twenty-two years.
Sesudah Tola, tampillah Yair orang Gilead. Yair memimpin bangsa Israel selama dua puluh dua tahun.
4 And he had thirty-two sons riding on thirty-two colts, and they had thirty-two cities; and they called them Jair's towns until this day in the land of Galaad.
Yair memiliki tiga puluh anak laki-laki. Mereka masing-masing memiliki keledai tunggangan sendiri-sendiri. Setiap anak lelaki Yair juga memimpin sebuah kota di Gilead. Sampai saat kitab ini ditulis ketigapuluh kota itu disebut Permukiman Kaum Yair.
5 And Jair died, and was buried in Rhamnon.
Kemudian Yair meninggal dan dimakamkan di Kamon.
6 And the children of Israel did evil again in the sight of the Lord, and served Baalim, and Astaroth, and the gods of Aram, and the gods of Sidon, and the gods of Moab, and the gods of the children of Ammon, and the gods of the Phylistines; and they forsook the Lord, and did not serve him.
Bangsa Israel kembali berbuat jahat di mata TUHAN. Mereka menyembah berbagai macam dewa Baal, dewi Astoret, serta dewa-dewa bangsa Siria, Sidon, Moab, Amon, dan Filistin. Mereka meninggalkan TUHAN dan sama sekali tidak mengabdi kepada-Nya lagi.
7 And the Lord was very angry with Israel, and sold them into the hands of the Phylistines, and into the hand of the children of Ammon.
Maka TUHAN menjadi murka terhadap bangsa Israel lalu menyerahkan mereka kepada bangsa Filistin dan Amon.
8 And they afflicted and bruised the children of Israel at that time eighteen years, all the children of Israel beyond Jordan in the land of the Amorite in Galaad.
Selama delapan belas tahun, kedua bangsa itu dengan kejam menindas orang Israel yang tinggal di sebelah timur sungai Yordan, yaitu di daerah Gilead, yang dulu dikuasai oleh raja-raja bangsa Amori.
9 And the children of Ammon went over Jordan to fight with Juda, and Benjamin, and with Ephraim; and the children of Israel were greatly afflicted.
Bangsa Amon juga menyeberangi sungai Yordan untuk menyerang suku Yehuda, Benyamin, dan Efraim, sehingga orang Israel sangat menderita.
10 And the children of Israel cried to the Lord, saying, We have sinned against you, because we have forsaken God, and served Baalim.
Maka rakyat Israel berseru meminta tolong kepada TUHAN, “Ya Allah, kami sudah berdosa terhadap Engkau karena kami meninggalkan-Mu dan menyembah berbagai macam Baal.”
11 And the Lord said to the children of Israel, Did I not [save you] from Egypt and from the Amorite, and from the children of Ammon, and from the Phylistines,
Jawab TUHAN, “Berkali-kali waktu kalian ditindas, Aku selalu menyelamatkan kalian, baik dari bangsa Mesir, Amori, Amon, Filistin, Sidon, Amalek, maupun Maon. Saat kalian berseru kepada-Ku, Aku melepaskan kalian dari tangan mereka.
12 and from the Sidonians, and Amalec, and Madiam, who afflicted you? and you cried to me, and I saved you out of their hand?
13 Yet you forsook me and served other gods; therefore I will not save you any more.
Tetapi karena kalian sudah meninggalkan Aku dan menyembah dewa-dewa lain, Aku tidak akan menyelamatkan kalian lagi.
14 Go, and cry to the gods whom you have chosen to yourselves, and let them save you in the time of your affliction.
Pergi dan berserulah kepada dewa-dewa yang sudah kalian pilih itu! Biarlah mereka yang menyelamatkan kalian di saat tertindas!”
15 And the children of Israel said to the Lord, We have sinned: do you to us according to all [that is] good in your eyes; only deliver us this day.
Bangsa Israel berkata lagi, “Kami sudah berdosa. Lakukanlah terhadap kami apa saja yang Engkau pandang baik, tetapi tolong selamatkan kami kali ini!”
16 And they put away the strange gods from the midst of them, and served the Lord only, and his soul was pained for the trouble of Israel.
Kemudian mereka membuang patung-patung dewa asing dari antara mereka dan menyembah TUHAN. TUHAN pun berbelas kasihan melihat kesengsaraan bangsa Israel.
17 And the children of Ammon went up, and encamped in Galaad; and the children of Israel were gathered together and encamped on the hill.
Pada waktu itu, pasukan Amon sedang berkumpul untuk berperang melawan bangsa Israel. Mereka berkemah di Gilead, sedangkan bangsa Israel berkumpul dan berkemah di Mispa.
18 And the people the princes of Galaad said every man to his neighbor, Who [is] he that shall begin to fight against the children of Ammon? he shall even be head over all that dwell in Galaad.
Para pemimpin Israel dari daerah Gilead bersepakat, “Orang yang memimpin perang melawan bangsa Amon akan menjadi penguasa atas semua penduduk Gilead!”
