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.
亚比米勒以后，有以萨迦人朵多的孙子、普瓦的儿子陀拉兴起，拯救以色列人。他住在以法莲山地的沙密。
2 He ruled the Israeli people for 23 years. Then he died and was buried in Shamir.
陀拉作以色列的士师二十三年，就死了，葬在沙密。
3 After Tola died, Jair, from [the] Gilead [region], became the Israelis’ leader, and he ruled them for 22 years.
在他以后有基列人睚珥兴起，作以色列的士师二十二年。
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’.
他有三十个儿子，骑着三十匹驴驹。他们有三十座城邑，叫作哈倭特·睚珥，直到如今，都是在基列地。
5 When Jair died, he was buried in Kamon [city].
睚珥死了，就葬在加们。
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.
以色列人又行耶和华眼中看为恶的事，去事奉诸巴力和亚斯她录，并亚兰的神、西顿的神、摩押的神、亚扪人的神、非利士人的神，离弃耶和华，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.
耶和华的怒气向以色列人发作，就把他们交在非利士人和亚扪人的手中。
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.
从那年起，他们扰害欺压约旦河那边、住亚摩利人之基列地的以色列人，共有十八年。
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.
亚扪人又渡过约旦河去攻打犹大和便雅悯，并以法莲族。以色列人就甚觉窘迫。
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.”
以色列人哀求耶和华说：“我们得罪了你；因为离弃了我们 神，去事奉诸巴力。”
11 Yahweh answered them, saying, “When the people of Egypt, and the Amor and Ammon and Philistia people-groups
耶和华对以色列人说：“我岂没有救过你们脱离埃及人、亚摩利人、亚扪人，和非利士人吗？
12 and the Sidon and Amalek and Maon people-groups were cruel to you, you cried out to me, and then I rescued you.
西顿人、亚玛力人、马云人也都欺压你们；你们哀求我，我也拯救你们脱离他们的手。
13 But now you have abandoned me again, and you have been worshiping other gods. So I will not rescue you again.
你们竟离弃我，事奉别神！所以我不再救你们了。
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!”
你们去哀求所选择的神；你们遭遇急难的时候，让他救你们吧！”
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!”
以色列人对耶和华说：“我们犯罪了，任凭你随意待我们吧！只求你今日拯救我们。”
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.
以色列人就除掉他们中间的外邦神，事奉耶和华。耶和华因以色列人受的苦难，就心中担忧。
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].
当时亚扪人聚集，安营在基列。以色列人也聚集，安营在米斯巴。
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].”
基列的民和众首领彼此商议说：“谁能先去攻打亚扪人，谁必作基列一切居民的领袖。”
