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.
Setelah Abimelekh meninggal, Tola anak Pua, menjadi pemimpin untuk membebaskan orang Israel. Ia adalah cucu Dodo dari suku Isakhar. Ia tinggal di Samir di daerah pegunungan Efraim.
2 He judged Israel twenty-three years, and died, and was buried in Shamir.
Dua puluh tiga tahun lamanya ia memimpin umat Israel, kemudian ia meninggal lalu dimakamkan di Samir.
3 After him arose Jair, the Gileadite; and he judged Israel twenty-two years.
Setelah Tola, Israel dipimpin oleh Yair dua puluh dua tahun lamanya. Yair berasal dari Gilead.
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.
Anaknya yang laki-laki ada tiga puluh orang. Mereka mempunyai tiga puluh ekor keledai tunggangan dan tiga puluh desa di daerah Gilead. Desa-desa itu masih disebut desa-desa Yair.
5 Jair died, and was buried in Kamon.
Yair pun meninggal, dan dimakamkan di 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.
Umat Israel berdosa lagi kepada TUHAN. Mereka tidak menghiraukan TUHAN dan tidak menyembah Dia lagi. Mereka menyembah dewa-dewa Baal dan Asytoret, serta dewa-dewa bangsa Siria, Sidon, Moab, Amon dan Filistin.
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.
Karena itu TUHAN marah kepada umat Israel, sehingga Ia membiarkan bangsa Filistin dan bangsa Amon menguasai mereka.
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.
Delapan belas tahun lamanya kedua bangsa itu menekan semua orang Israel yang tinggal di Gilead, yaitu daerah orang Amori sebelah timur Sungai Yordan. Mereka memperlakukan orang-orang Israel dengan kejam.
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.
Orang Amon malah menyeberangi Sungai Yordan untuk pergi memerangi suku Yehuda, Benyamin dan Efraim sehingga umat Israel sangat menderita.
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."
Lalu umat Israel berseru kepada TUHAN, katanya, "Kami telah berdosa kepada-Mu, karena kami tidak menghiraukan Engkau, ya Allah kami. Kami menyembah dewa-dewa Baal."
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?
TUHAN menjawab, "Dahulu kamu dijajah oleh bangsa Mesir, Amori, Amon, Filistin, Sidon, Amalek dan bangsa Maon. Lalu pada waktu itu kamu berseru meminta tolong kepada-Ku, bukan? Coba ingat, apakah Aku tidak menyelamatkan kamu dari kekuasaan mereka?
12 Also the Sidonians, and Amalek, and Midian oppressed you; and you cried to me, and I saved you out of their hand.
13 Yet you have forsaken me, and served other gods. Therefore I will save you no more.
Meskipun begitu, kamu bahkan masih juga membelakangi Aku, lalu pergi menyembah dewa-dewa. Sekarang Aku tak mau lagi membebaskan kamu.
14 Go and cry to the gods which you have chosen; let them save you in the time of your distress."
Pergilah saja kepada dewa-dewa yang kamu pilih itu. Berserulah kepada mereka! Biarlah mereka yang menolong pada waktu kamu dalam kesukaran."
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."
Tetapi umat Israel berkata kepada TUHAN, "Kami telah berdosa, TUHAN. Lakukanlah apa saja yang Engkau kehendaki, asal Engkau menolong kami hari ini."
16 They put away the foreign gods from among them, and served Jehovah; and his soul was grieved with the misery of Israel.
Kemudian mereka membuang semua patung berhala, lalu menyembah Allah. Maka Allah pun terharu hatinya melihat mereka dalam kesukaran.
17 Then the people of Ammon were gathered together, and camped in Gilead. The children of Israel assembled themselves together, and camped at Mizpah.
Pada waktu itu tentara Amon sedang bersiap-siap untuk berperang. Mereka berkemah di Gilead. Umat Israel pun sudah berkumpul dan berkemah di Gilead.
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."
Di sana rakyat dan para pemimpin dari suku-suku Israel itu saling bertanya apakah ada di antara mereka yang berani mengangkat senjata melawan bangsa Amon. Orang itu akan dijadikan pemimpin seluruh penduduk Gilead.
