Judges 10
1 After Abimelech died, Tola the son of Puah and grandson of Dodo became the leader to rescue the Israeli people [from their enemies]. He belonged to the tribe of Issachar, but he lived in Shamir [city] in the hilly area where the descendants of Ephraim live.
Abimelech thijou hin Dodo chapa Puah chapa Tol'a hi Israelte huhdoh dingin ahung pangin ahi. Amahi Issachar phungmi ahin, Ephraim thinglhang gamsunga um Shamir khopia chengmi ahi.
2 He ruled the Israeli people for 23 years. Then he died and was buried in Shamir.
Amahin kum somni le thum sungin Israelte lah a thutan vaihom’in anapang in ahi. Ama athi phatnin Shamir munnah ana kivuijin ahi.
3 After Tola died, Jair, from [the] Gilead [region], became the Israelis’ leader, and he ruled them for 22 years.
Tol'a athijouhin Gilead na kon in Jair in kum somni le ni sungin Israelte thutan vaihom in ana pange.
4 He had thirty sons, and each of them had his own donkey to ride on. They each controlled a different town in [the] Gilead [region]. That region is still named ‘The Towns of Jair’.
Chapa somthum aneiyin, amaho chun sangan somthum ana mangchaovin chuleh amahin Gilead gamsungah khopi somthum ma ana neijun ahi, hicheho chu tuni changeijin Jair khopi ho akitin ahi.
5 When Jair died, he was buried in Kamon [city].
Jair athi phatnin Kamon khopia ana vuijun ahi.
6 Again the Israelis did things that Yahweh said were wrong/evil. They worshiped [the idols of their god] Baal and [their goddess] Astarte. They also worshiped the gods of the Aram, Sidon, Moab, and Ammon people-groups, and the gods of the Philistia people-group. They abandoned Yahweh and stopped worshiping him.
Avellin Israelten Pakai mitmun thilse jeng anabol kitnun ahi. Amahon Baal le Ashtoreth milim doi semthu ana hou kitnun chule Ram, Sidon, Moab, Ammon chule Philistine te semthu pathen ana houvun ahi. Amahon Pakai chu ana nuse uvin houdin jong ana gotapouvin ahi.
7 So Yahweh was very angry with them, and he allowed the Philistia and Ammon people-groups to defeat [IDM] the Israelis.
Hijeh chun Pakai chu Israel chungah nasatah in ana lunghang tan ahileh amaho chu Philistine te le Ammon mite khut’ah ana pedohtan ahileh,
8 In that same year, those people started to oppress the Israelis who lived in [the] Gilead [region] on the east side of the Jordan [River]. That was where the Amor people-group also lived. were They caused the Israelis who lived in that region to suffer for 18 years.
Hiche kumma patchun ana sugenthei lheh jengun ahi. Amahon Gilead gamsunga um Amor mite gam solam gamkaija cheng Israelte jouse chungah kum somleget sungin ana sugentheijun ahi.
9 Then the people of the Ammon people-group crossed the Jordan [River] to fight against the people of the tribes of Judah, Benjamin, and Ephraim. They caused the Israelis’ lives to be very miserable.
Ammon miten Jordan lhumlam ajong ahung galkaijun Judah, Benjamin chuleh Ephraim hojong ahung bulu jiuvin ahi. Hitichun Israelte hin agentheinao chu ana thohlel lheh jeng tauvin ahi.
10 So the Israelis cried out to Yahweh, saying “We have sinned against you. We have abandoned you, and we have been worshiping [the idols of their god] Baal.”
Athohlel behseh phat’un Pakai kommah panpi ngaichatna in ana kapjah jengun, “Pakai keihon nangma dounan kana chonse lheh jeng taove, ajeh chu keihon ka Pathennu nangma kana nuse uvin Baal doi semthu milimho kana hou taove” atiuve.
11 Yahweh answered them, saying, “When the people of Egypt, and the Amor and Ammon and Philistia people-groups
Pakaiyin ahin donbutnin, “Keiman nangho hi Egypt mite akon, Amor mite akon, Ammon kitea kon chule Phileistinete tea konna kana huhdoh nahilou uham?
12 and the Sidon and Amalek and Maon people-groups were cruel to you, you cried out to me, and then I rescued you.
Sidon mite Amalek mite leh Maon mitea konna jong kana huhdoh u hilouham? Amahon nabol genthei tenguleh panpi ngehna nahung kajah jeng jiuva keiman kana huhdoh jiu hilouham?
13 But now you have abandoned me again, and you have been worshiping other gods. So I will not rescue you again.
Ahiyeng vang'in nanghon Keima ein use jiuva semthu pathen dangho joh nahoujiu hilouham? Hijeh chun Keiman nangho huhdoh taopou vinge,
14 You have chosen those gods [to be the ones that you worship]. So call to them to help you. Allow them to rescue you when you have a lot of trouble!”
Cheuvinlang nanghon nadeilhen joh u semthu pathen hojoh kommah gakap munlang nahahsat naova konhin kihuhdoh sahtauvin” atipeh joh tan ahi.
15 But the Israeli people said to Yahweh, “Truly we have sinned. Punish us in whatever way you wish to, but please rescue us now!”
Ahinlah Israelte Pakai komma atao teitei jengun hitin aseijun ahi, “Pakai keiho kachonse taove nangin nadeidan dannin nei engbol tauvin ahinla kagalmiteu vakon in tunin neihuhdoh teitei jun,” atiuve.
16 Then the Israelis threw away the [idols of the] gods that belonged to other people-groups, and they worshiped Yahweh again. He saw that they were suffering very much, and he felt sorry [IDM] for them.
Hijouchun Israelten gamdang semthu pathenho chu apaimangun Pakai johchu ahoutaove. Hichun Israelte gimna chu avet’a ahileh Pakai jong along ahimolheh jeng tan ahi.
17 The Ammon people-group gathered to fight [against the Israelis], and they set up their tents in [the] Gilead [region]. The Israeli men also gathered and set up their tents at Mizpah, [which was a city in Gilead].
Hichepettah chun Ammon sepaite galsat dingin kikhom uvin, Gilead gamsunga chun panmun akisem un ahi, chuleh Israelte jong kikhomkhom uvin Mizpah munnah chun a panmun diu ana kisem un ahi.
18 The Israeli leaders said, “Who will lead our soldiers to attack the Ammon people-group? The one who will lead us will become the leader of all us who live in this Gilead [region].”
Gilead lamkaiho chu khatle khat akihou sommun, “Koi hileh Ammon mite satmasa pen penchu Gilead mite chunga vaihommin pang jeng hen” atiuvin ahi.
