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.
| וַיָּקׇם אַחֲרֵי אֲבִימֶלֶךְ לְהוֹשִׁיעַ אֶת־יִשְׂרָאֵל תּוֹלָע בֶּן־פּוּאָה בֶּן־דּוֹדוֹ אִישׁ יִשָּׂשכָר וְהוּא־יֹשֵׁב בְּשָׁמִיר בְּהַר אֶפְרָֽיִם׃ |
2 He judged Israel twenty-three years, and died, and was buried in Shamir.
| וַיִּשְׁפֹּט אֶת־יִשְׂרָאֵל עֶשְׂרִים וְשָׁלֹשׁ שָׁנָה וַיָּמׇת וַיִּקָּבֵר בְּשָׁמִֽיר׃ |
3 After him arose Jair, the Gileadite; and he judged Israel twenty-two years.
| וַיָּקׇם אַחֲרָיו יָאִיר הַגִּלְעָדִי וַיִּשְׁפֹּט אֶת־יִשְׂרָאֵל עֶשְׂרִים וּשְׁתַּיִם שָׁנָֽה׃ |
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.
| וַֽיְהִי־לוֹ שְׁלֹשִׁים בָּנִים רֹֽכְבִים עַל־שְׁלֹשִׁים עֲיָרִים וּשְׁלֹשִׁים עֲיָרִים לָהֶם לָהֶם יִקְרְאוּ ׀ חַוֺּת יָאִיר עַד הַיּוֹם הַזֶּה אֲשֶׁר בְּאֶרֶץ הַגִּלְעָֽד׃ |
5 Jair died, and was buried in Kamon.
| וַיָּמׇת יָאִיר וַיִּקָּבֵר בְּקָמֽוֹן׃ |
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.
| וַיֹּסִיפוּ ׀ בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל לַעֲשׂוֹת הָרַע בְּעֵינֵי יְהֹוָה וַיַּעַבְדוּ אֶת־הַבְּעָלִים וְאֶת־הָעַשְׁתָּרוֹת וְאֶת־אֱלֹהֵי אֲרָם וְאֶת־אֱלֹהֵי צִידוֹן וְאֵת ׀ אֱלֹהֵי מוֹאָב וְאֵת אֱלֹהֵי בְנֵֽי־עַמּוֹן וְאֵת אֱלֹהֵי פְלִשְׁתִּים וַיַּעַזְבוּ אֶת־יְהֹוָה וְלֹא עֲבָדֽוּהוּ׃ |
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.
| וַיִּֽחַר־אַף יְהֹוָה בְּיִשְׂרָאֵל וַֽיִּמְכְּרֵם בְּיַד־פְּלִשְׁתִּים וּבְיַד בְּנֵי עַמּֽוֹן׃ |
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.
| וַֽיִּרְעֲצוּ וַיְרֹֽצְצוּ אֶת־בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל בַּשָּׁנָה הַהִיא שְׁמֹנֶה עֶשְׂרֵה שָׁנָה אֶֽת־כׇּל־בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל אֲשֶׁר בְּעֵבֶר הַיַּרְדֵּן בְּאֶרֶץ הָאֱמֹרִי אֲשֶׁר בַּגִּלְעָֽד׃ |
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.
| וַיַּעַבְרוּ בְנֵֽי־עַמּוֹן אֶת־הַיַּרְדֵּן לְהִלָּחֵם גַּם־בִּֽיהוּדָה וּבְבִנְיָמִין וּבְבֵית אֶפְרָיִם וַתֵּצֶר לְיִשְׂרָאֵל מְאֹֽד׃ |
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."
| וַֽיִּזְעֲקוּ בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל אֶל־יְהֹוָה לֵאמֹר חָטָאנוּ לָךְ וְכִי עָזַבְנוּ אֶת־אֱלֹהֵינוּ וַֽנַּעֲבֹד אֶת־הַבְּעָלִֽים׃ |
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?
| וַיֹּאמֶר יְהֹוָה אֶל־בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל הֲלֹא מִמִּצְרַיִם וּמִן־הָאֱמֹרִי וּמִן־בְּנֵי עַמּוֹן וּמִן־פְּלִשְׁתִּֽים׃ |
12 Also the Sidonians, and Amalek, and Midian oppressed you; and you cried to me, and I saved you out of their hand.
| וְצִידוֹנִים וַֽעֲמָלֵק וּמָעוֹן לָחֲצוּ אֶתְכֶם וַתִּצְעֲקוּ אֵלַי וָאוֹשִׁיעָה אֶתְכֶם מִיָּדָֽם׃ |
13 Yet you have forsaken me, and served other gods. Therefore I will save you no more.
| וְאַתֶּם עֲזַבְתֶּם אוֹתִי וַתַּעַבְדוּ אֱלֹהִים אֲחֵרִים לָכֵן לֹֽא־אוֹסִיף לְהוֹשִׁיעַ אֶתְכֶֽם׃ |
14 Go and cry to the gods which you have chosen; let them save you in the time of your distress."
| לְכוּ וְזַֽעֲקוּ אֶל־הָאֱלֹהִים אֲשֶׁר בְּחַרְתֶּם בָּם הֵמָּה יוֹשִׁיעוּ לָכֶם בְּעֵת צָרַתְכֶֽם׃ |
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."
| וַיֹּאמְרוּ בְנֵי־יִשְׂרָאֵל אֶל־יְהֹוָה חָטָאנוּ עֲשֵֽׂה־אַתָּה לָנוּ כְּכׇל־הַטּוֹב בְּעֵינֶיךָ אַךְ הַצִּילֵנוּ נָא הַיּוֹם הַזֶּֽה׃ |
16 They put away the foreign gods from among them, and served Jehovah; and his soul was grieved with the misery of Israel.
| וַיָּסִירוּ אֶת־אֱלֹהֵי הַנֵּכָר מִקִּרְבָּם וַיַּעַבְדוּ אֶת־יְהֹוָה וַתִּקְצַר נַפְשׁוֹ בַּעֲמַל יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃ |
17 Then the people of Ammon were gathered together, and camped in Gilead. The children of Israel assembled themselves together, and camped at Mizpah.
| וַיִּצָּֽעֲקוּ בְּנֵי עַמּוֹן וַֽיַּחֲנוּ בַּגִּלְעָד וַיֵּאָֽסְפוּ בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל וַֽיַּחֲנוּ בַּמִּצְפָּֽה׃ |
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."
| וַיֹּאמְרוּ הָעָם שָׂרֵי גִלְעָד אִישׁ אֶל־רֵעֵהוּ מִי הָאִישׁ אֲשֶׁר יָחֵל לְהִלָּחֵם בִּבְנֵי עַמּוֹן יִֽהְיֶה לְרֹאשׁ לְכֹל יֹשְׁבֵי גִלְעָֽד׃ |
