1 And he arose after Abimelech to deliver Israel Tola [the] son of Puah [the] son of Dodo man of Issachar and he [was] dwelling in Shamir in [the] hill country of Ephraim.

After the time of Abimelech, a man of Issachar, Tola son of Puah, the son of Dodo, rose up to save Israel. He lived in Shamir, in the hill country of Ephraim.

2 And he judged Israel twenty and three year[s] and he died and he was buried in Shamir.

Tola judged Israel twenty-three years, and when he died, he was buried in Shamir.

3 And he arose after him Jair the Gileadite and he judged Israel twenty and two year[s].

Tola was followed by Jair the Gileadite, who judged Israel twenty-two years.

4 And it belonged to him thirty sons [who] rode on thirty donkeys and thirty cities [belonged] to them them people call - Havvoth Jair until the day this which [are] in [the] land of Gilead.

He had thirty sons who rode on thirty donkeys. And they had thirty towns in the land of Gilead, which to this day are called Havvoth-jair.

5 And he died Jair and he was buried in Kamon.

When Jair died, he was buried in Kamon.

6 And they repeated - [the] people of Israel to do the evil in [the] eyes of Yahweh and they 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 Yahweh and not they served him.

And again the Israelites did evil in the sight of the LORD. They served the Baals, the Ashtoreths, the gods of Aram, Sidon, and Moab, and the gods of the Ammonites and Philistines. Thus they forsook the LORD and did not serve Him.

7 And it burned [the] anger of Yahweh on Israel and he sold them in [the] hand of [the] Philistines and in [the] hand of [the] people of Ammon.

So the anger of the LORD burned against Israel, and He sold them into the hands of the Philistines and Ammonites,

8 And they shattered and they crushed [the] people of Israel in the year that eight-teen year[s] all [the] people of Israel who [were] on [the] other side of the Jordan in [the] land of the Amorite[s] which [is] in Gilead.

who that very year harassed and oppressed the Israelites, and did so for eighteen years to all the Israelites on the other side of the Jordan in Gilead, the land of the Amorites.

9 And they passed over [the] people of Ammon the Jordan to fight also against Judah and against Benjamin and against [the] house of Ephraim and it was distress to Israel exceedingly.

The Ammonites also crossed the Jordan to fight against Judah, Benjamin, and the house of Ephraim, and Israel was in deep distress.

10 And they cried out [the] people of Israel to Yahweh saying we have sinned to you and for we have forsaken God our and we have served the Baals.

Then the Israelites cried out to the LORD, saying, “We have sinned against You, for we have indeed forsaken our God and served the Baals.”

11 And he said Yahweh to [the] people of Israel ¿ not from Egypt and from the Amorite[s] and from [the] people of Ammon and from [the] Philistines.

The LORD replied, “When the Egyptians, Amorites, Ammonites, Philistines,

12 And [the] Sidonians and Amalek and Maon they oppressed you and you cried out to me and I delivered! you from hand their.

Sidonians, Amalekites, and Maonites oppressed you and you cried out to Me, did I not save you from their hands?

13 And you you have forsaken me and you have served gods other therefore not I will repeat to deliver you.

But you have forsaken Me and served other gods, so I will no longer save you.

14 Go and cry out to the gods which you have chosen them they let them deliver you at [the] time of distress your.

Go and cry out to the gods you have chosen. Let them save you in your time of trouble.”

15 And they said [the] people of Israel to Yahweh we have sinned do you to us according to all the good in view your only deliver us please the day this.

“We have sinned,” the Israelites said to the LORD. “Deal with us as You see fit; but please deliver us today!”

16 And they removed [the] gods of foreignness from midst their and they served Yahweh and it was short self his at [the] trouble of Israel.

So they put away the foreign gods from among them and served the LORD, and He could no longer bear the misery of Israel.

17 And they were summoned [the] people of Ammon and they encamped in Gilead and they gathered [the] people of Israel and they encamped at Mizpah.

Then the Ammonites were called to arms and camped in Gilead, and the Israelites assembled and camped at Mizpah.

18 And they said the people [the] leaders of Gilead each to neighbor his who? [is] the man who he will begin to fight against [the] people of Ammon he will become chief of all [the] inhabitants of Gilead.

And the rulers of Gilead said to one another, “Whoever will launch the attack against the Ammonites will be the head of all who live in Gilead.”
