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.
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-three years, and died, and was buried in Samir.
Akawa mwamuzi wa Israeli miaka ishirini na mitatu. Alikufa na kuzikwa Shamiri.
3 And after him arose Jair of Galaad, and he judged Israel twenty-two years.
Alifuatiwa na Yairi Mgileadi. Akawa mwamuzi wa Israeli miaka ishirini na miwili.
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.
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 Rhamnon.
Yairi alikufa na kuzikwa Kamoni.
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.
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 Lord was very angry with Israel, and sold them into the hands of the Phylistines, 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 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.
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 went over Jordan to fight with Juda, and Benjamin, and with Ephraim; and the children of Israel were greatly afflicted.
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 to the Lord, saying, We have sinned against you, because we have forsaken God, and served Baalim.
Ndipo wana wa Israeli wakamwita Bwana, wakisema, “Tumekukosea, kwa sababu tumemwacha Mungu wetu, tukaabudu Mabaali.”
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,
Bwana akawaambia wana wa Israeli, “Je, sikuwatoa ninyi kutoka kwa Wamisri, na Waamori, na Waamoni, na Wafilisti,
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?
na pia kwa Wasidoni? Waamaleki na Wamaoni walipowakandamiza; mliniita, nami nikawaokoa kutoka katika nguvu zao.
13 Yet you forsook me and served other gods; therefore I will not save you any more.
Lakini ninyi mliniacha tena na kuabudu miungu mingine. Kwa hiyo, sitawaokoa tena.
14 Go, and cry to the gods whom you have chosen to yourselves, and let them save you in the time of your affliction.
Nendeni mkaiite miungu mnayoiabudu. Ili iwaokoe wakati wa shida.
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.
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 the midst of them, and served the Lord only, and his soul was pained for the trouble of Israel.
Wakaiacha miungu ya kigeni waliyokuwa nayo, nao wakamwabudu Bwana. Naye akawa na subira juu ya taabu ya Israeli.
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.
Ndipo Waamoni wakakusanyika, wakaweka kambi Gileadi. Waisraeli walikutana na kuweka kambi yao huko 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.
Viongozi wa watu wa Gileadi wakaambiana, 'Ni nani atakayeanza kupigana na Waamoni? Yeye atakuwa kiongozi juu ya wote wanaoishi Gileadi.
