Judges 10
1 And after Abimelech there arose to save Israel Tola the son of Puah, the son of Dodo, a man of Issachar; and he dwelt 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 And he judged Israel twenty and 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 And after him arose Jair, the Gileadite; and he judged Israel twenty and two years.
Og efter ham opstod Gileaditeren Jair og dømte Israel to og tyve Aar.
4 And he had thirty sons that rode on thirty ass colts, and they had thirty cities, which are called Havvoth-jair unto 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 And Jair died, and was buried in Kamon.
Og Jair døde og blev begraven i Kamon.
6 And the children of Israel again did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, and served the Baalim, and the Ashtaroth, and the gods of Syria, and the gods of Zidon, and the gods of Moab, and the gods of the children of Ammon, and the gods of the Philistines; and they forsook the LORD, and served him not.
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 And the anger of the LORD was kindled against Israel, and he sold them into the hand of the Philistines, and into the hand of the children of Ammon.
Da optændtes Herrens Vrede imod Israel, og han solgte dem i Filisternes Haand og Ammons Børns Haand.
8 And they vexed and oppressed the children of Israel that year: eighteen years [oppressed they] all the children of Israel that were beyond 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 And the children of Ammon passed over Jordan to fight also against Judah, and against Benjamin, and against the house of Ephraim; so that Israel was sore 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 And the children of Israel cried unto the LORD, saying, We have sinned against thee, even because we have forsaken our God, and have served the Baalim.
Da raabte Israels Børn til Herren og sagde: Vi have syndet imod dig, fordi vi have forladt vor Gud og tjent Baalerne.
11 And the LORD said unto the children of Israel, [Did] not [I save you] from the Egyptians, and from the Amorites, from the children of Ammon, and from the Philistines?
Og Herren sagde til Israels Børn: Havde ikke Ægypter og Amoriter, Ammons Børn og Filister
12 The Zidonians also, and the Amalekites, and the Maonites, did oppress you; and ye cried unto 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 ye have forsaken me, and served other gods: wherefore 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 unto the gods which ye 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 And the children of Israel said unto the LORD, We have sinned: do thou unto us whatsoever seemeth good unto thee; only deliver us, we pray thee, 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 And they put away the strange gods from among them, and served the LORD: and his soul was grieved for 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 children of Ammon were gathered together, and encamped in Gilead. And the children of Israel assembled themselves together, and encamped in 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 princes of Gilead, said one to another, What man is he that will begin to fight against the children 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.
