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.
阿彼默肋客之後，有依撒加爾人多多的孫子，普阿的兒子托拉起來整救以色列。他住在厄弗辣因山地的沙米爾，
2 He ruled the Israeli people for 23 years. Then he died and was buried in Shamir.
做以色列民長有二十三年之久，死後葬在紗米爾。雅依爾民長
3 After Tola died, Jair, from [the] Gilead [region], became the Israelis’ leader, and he ruled them for 22 years.
在他以後，有基肋阿得人雅依爾興起，作以色列民長二十二年之久。
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’.
他有三十個兒子，騎著三十四驢駒；他們有三十座城，這些城稱作哈沃特雅依爾，直到今日，都在基肋阿得地。
5 When Jair died, he was buried in Kamon [city].
雅依爾死後埋葬在卡孟。以民犯罪受罰
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.
那時以色列子民又行了上主視為惡的事，事奉巴耳和阿市托勒特眾神，以及阿蘭的神，漆冬的神，摩阿布的神，阿孟子民的神，培肋舍特人的神；他們背棄上主，不事奉他。
7 So Yahweh was very angry with them, and he allowed the Philistia and Ammon people-groups to defeat [IDM] the Israelis.
上主向以色列發怒，把他們交在培肋舍特人和阿孟子民手中。
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.
從那一年起，他們迫害壓制以色列子民，即所有住在約但河對岸，在阿摩黎人境內基肋阿得地方的以色列子民，一連十八年。
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.
阿孟子民也過約但河來攻擊猷大、本雅明和厄弗辣因家族；因此以色列人很是困苦。
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.”
以色列子民遂向上主呼籲說：「我們得罪了你，因為我們背棄了我們的天主，事奉了巴耳諸神! 」
11 Yahweh answered them, saying, “When the people of Egypt, and the Amor and Ammon and Philistia people-groups
上主對以色列子民說：「當埃及人、阿摩黎人、阿孟子民、培肋舍特人、
12 and the Sidon and Amalek and Maon people-groups were cruel to you, you cried out to me, and then I rescued you.
漆冬人、阿瑪肋人、米德楊人難為你們的時後，你們向我哀號，我豈沒有從他們手中拯救了你們﹖
13 But now you have abandoned me again, and you have been worshiping other gods. So I will not rescue you again.
但是你們背棄了我，事奉了別的神，因此我不再拯救你們，
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!”
去呼籲你們所選擇的神罷! 讓他們在你們遭難時來拯救你們! 」
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!”
以色列子民對上主說：「我們犯了罪，你任意對待我們，只求你今日援救我們! 」
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.
以色列子民遂從他們中間除去外邦的神，而事奉上主；上主再不能容忍以色列受苦。
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].
那時阿孟子民集合在基肋阿得紮營，以色列子民也集合在米茲帕安營。
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].”
基肋阿得人民的首領彼此說：「誰開始攻打阿孟子民，誰就作全基肋阿得居民的首領。」
