< Judges 10 >
1 After Abimelech there arose to save Israel Tola the son of Puah, the son of Dodo, a man of Issachar; and he lived in Shamir in the hill country of Ephraim.
Og efter Abimelek opstod Thola, en Søn af Pua, Dodos Søn, en Mand af Isaskar, at frelse Israel; og han boede i Samir paa Efraims Bjerg.
2 He judged Israel twenty-three years, and died, and was buried in Shamir.
Og han dømte Israel tre og tyve Aar, og han døde og blev begraven i Samir.
3 After him arose Jair, the Gileadite; and he judged Israel twenty-two years.
Og efter ham opstod Gileaditeren Jair og dømte Israel to og tyve Aar.
4 He had thirty sons who rode on thirty donkeys, and they had thirty towns, which are called Havvoth Jair to this day, which are in the land of Gilead.
Og han havde tredive Sønner, som rede paa tredive Asenfoler, og de havde tredive Stæder; dem kaldte de Jairs Byer indtil denne Dag, de ligge i Gileads Land.
5 Jair died, and was buried in Kamon.
Og Jair døde og blev begraven i Kamon.
6 The children of Israel again did that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah, and served the Baals, and the Ashtaroth, and the gods of Aram, and the gods of Sidon, and the gods of Moab, and the gods of the people of Ammon, and the gods of the Philistines; and they forsook Jehovah, and did not serve him.
Og Israels Børn bleve ved at gøre ondt for Herrens Øjne og tjente Baalerne og Astarterne og Syriens Guder og Zidons Guder og Moabs Guder og Ammons Børns Guder og Filisternes Guder; og de forlode Herren og tjente ham ikke.
7 The anger of Jehovah was kindled against Israel, and he sold them into the hand of the Philistines, and into the hand of the people of Ammon.
Da optændtes Herrens Vrede imod Israel, og han solgte dem i Filisternes Haand og Ammons Børns Haand.
8 And they shattered and oppressed the children of Israel that year. Eighteen years they oppressed all the children of Israel that were beyond the Jordan in the land of the Amorites, which is in Gilead.
Og de nedsloge og knuste Israels Børn i det samme Aar; atten Aar plagede de alle Israels Børn, som vare paa hin Side Jordanen i Amoriternes Land, som er i Gilead.
9 The people of Ammon passed over the Jordan to fight also against Judah, and against Benjamin, and against the house of Ephraim; so that Israel was very distressed.
Og Ammons Børn droge over Jordanen at stride endog imod Juda og imod Benjamin og imod Efraims Hus, saa at Israel var saare trængt.
10 The children of Israel cried to Jehovah, saying, "We have sinned against you, even because we have forsaken our God, and have served the Baals."
Da raabte Israels Børn til Herren og sagde: Vi have syndet imod dig, fordi vi have forladt vor Gud og tjent Baalerne.
11 Jehovah said to the children of Israel, "Did I not save you from the Egyptians, and from the Amorites, from the people of Ammon, and from the Philistines?
Og Herren sagde til Israels Børn: Havde ikke Ægypter og Amoriter, Ammons Børn og Filister
12 Also the Sidonians, and Amalek, and Midian oppressed you; and you cried to me, and I saved you out of their hand.
og Zidonier og Amalek og Maon undertrykket eder? og I raabte til mig, og jeg frelste eder af deres Haand.
13 Yet you have forsaken me, and served other gods. Therefore I will save you no more.
Og I forlode mig og tjente andre Guder; derfor vil jeg ikke blive ved at frelse eder.
14 Go and cry to the gods which you have chosen; let them save you in the time of your distress."
Gaar og raaber til de Guder, som I have udvalgt; lad dem frelse eder i eders Trængsels Tid.
15 The children of Israel said to Jehovah, "We have sinned. Do to us whatever seems good to you; only deliver us, please, this day."
Da sagde Israels Børn til Herren: Vi have syndet; gør du med os efter alt det, som er godt for dine Øjne; dog, kære, udfri os paa denne Dag.
16 They put away the foreign gods from among them, and served Jehovah; and his soul was grieved with the misery of Israel.
Og de kastede de fremmedes Guder bort fra sig og tjente Herren; og han ynkedes inderlig over Israels Nød.
17 Then the people of Ammon were gathered together, and camped in Gilead. The children of Israel assembled themselves together, and camped at Mizpah.
Og Ammons Børn bleve sammenkaldte, og de lejrede sig i Gilead; men Israels Børn samledes og lejrede sig i Mizpa.
18 And the people, the leaders of Gilead, said to each other, "What man is he who will begin to fight against the people of Ammon? He shall be head over all the inhabitants of Gilead."
Og Folket, Fyrsterne i Gilead, sagde den ene til den anden: Hvo er den Mand, som vil begynde at stride imod Ammons Børn? han skal være Hoved for alle dem, som bo i Gilead.
