Judges 10
1 And there rises after Abimelech, to save Israel, Tola son of Puah, son of Dodo, a man of Issachar, and he is dwelling in Shamir, in the hill-country of Ephraim,
Efter Abimelek fremstod som Israels Befrier Tola, en Søn af Dodos Søn Pua, en Mand af Issakar, som boede i Sjamir i Efraims Bjerge.
2 and he judges Israel [for] twenty-three years, and he dies, and is buried in Shamir.
Han var Dommer i Israel i tre og tyve År. Da han døde, blev han jordet i Sjamir.
3 And there rises Jair the Gileadite after him, and he judges Israel [for] twenty-two years,
Efter ham fremstod Gileaditen Jair; han var Dommer i Israel i to og tyve År.
4 and he has thirty sons riding on thirty donkey-colts, and they have thirty cities (they call them Havoth-Jair to this day), which [are] in the land of Gilead;
Han havde tredive Sønner, som red på tredive Æsler, og de havde tredive Byer, som endnu den Dag i Dag kaldes Jairs Teltbyer; de ligger i Gilead.
5 and Jair dies, and is buried in Kamon.
Da Jair døde, blev han jordet i Kamon.
6 And the sons of Israel add to do evil in the eyes of YHWH, and serve the Ba‘alim, and Ashtaroth, and the gods of Aram, and the gods of Sidon, and the gods of Moab, and the gods of the sons of Ammon, and the gods of the Philistines, and forsake YHWH, and have not served Him;
Men Israelitterne blev ved at gøre, hvad der var ondt i HERRENs Øjne, idet de dyrkede Ba'alerne og Astarterne og Aramæernes, Zidons, Moabs, Ammoniternes og Filisternes Guder og faldt fra HERREN og undlod at dyrke ham.
7 and the anger of YHWH burns against Israel, and He sells them into the hand of the Philistines, and into the hand of the sons of Ammon,
Da blussede HERRENs Vrede op mod Israel, og han gav dem til Pris for Filisterne og Ammoniterne,
8 and they crush and oppress the sons of Israel in that year; [and for] eighteen years—all the sons of Israel [who] are beyond the Jordan, in the land of the Amorite, which [is] in Gilead.
som kuede og mishandlede Israelitterne i det År; i atten År kuede de alle Israelitterne hinsides Jordan i Amoritemes Land i Gilead.
9 And the sons of Ammon pass over the Jordan to also fight against Judah, and against Benjamin, and against the house of Ephraim, and Israel has great distress.
Og Ammoniterne satte over Jordan for også at angribe Juda, Benjamin og Efraims Slægt, så at Israelitterne kom i stor Nød.
10 And the sons of Israel cry to YHWH, saying, “We have sinned against You, because we have even forsaken our God, and serve the Ba‘alim.”
Da råbte Israelitterne til HERREN og sagde: "Vi har syndet imod dig, thi vi har forladt HERREN vor Gud og dyrket Ba'alerne!"
11 And YHWH says to the sons of Israel, “[Have I] not [saved you] from the Egyptians, and from the Amorite, from the sons of Ammon, and from the Philistines?
Men HERREN svarede Israelitterne: "Har ikke Ægypterne, Amoriterne, Ammoniterne, Filisterne,
12 And the Zidonians, and Amalek, and Maon have oppressed you, and you cry to Me, and I save you out of their hand;
Zidonierne, Amalekiterne og Midjaniterne mishandlet eder? Og da I råbte til mig, frelste jeg eder af deres Hånd.
13 and you have forsaken Me, and serve other gods, therefore I do not add to save you.
Men I forlod mig og dyrkede andre Guder! Derfor vil jeg ikke mere frelse eder!
14 Go and cry to the gods on which you have fixed; they save you in the time of your tribulation.”
Gå nu hen og råb til de Guder, I udvalgte eder, og lad dem frelse eder i eders Nød:"
15 And the sons of Israel say to YHWH, “We have sinned, do to us according to all that is good in Your eyes; only please deliver us this day.”
Da sagde Israelitterne til HERREN: "Vi har syndet! Gør med os, hvad dig tykkes godt, men frels os blot nu!"
16 And they turn aside the gods of the stranger out of their midst, and serve YHWH, and His soul is grieved with the misery of Israel.
Og de skilte sig af med de fremmede Guder og dyrkede HERREN; da kunde han ikke længer holde ud at se Israels Nød.
17 And the sons of Ammon are called together, and encamp in Gilead, and the sons of Israel are gathered together, and encamp in Mizpah.
Ammoniterne stævnedes sammen, og de slog Lejr i Gilead; også Israelitterne samlede sig, og de slog Lejr i Mizpa.
18 And the people—heads of Gilead—say to one another, “Who [is] the man that begins to fight against the sons of Ammon? He is for head to all inhabitants of Gilead.”
Da sagde Folket, Gileads Høvdinger, til hverandre: "Hvis der findes en Mand, som vil tage Kampen op med Ammoniterne, skal han være Høvding over alle Gileads Indbyggere!"
