< 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.
A MAHOPE iho o Abimeleka, ku mai o Tola, ke keiki a Pua, ke keiki a Dodo, he kanaka no ka Isakara, nana i hoola i ka Iseraela. A noho no ia ma Samira, ma ka mauna o Eperaima.
2 He ruled the Israeli people for 23 years. Then he died and was buried in Shamir.
Nana i hooponopono i ka Iseraela, he iwakaluakumamakolu makahiki, a make ia, kanuia iho la ia ma Samira.
3 After Tola died, Jair, from [the] Gilead [region], became the Israelis’ leader, and he ruled them for 22 years.
Mahope iho ona, ku mai o Iaira, he kanaka no Gileada, nana i hooponopono i ka Iseraela, he iwakaluakumamalua makahiki.
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’.
He kanakolu ana mau keikikane, a holo lakou maluna o na hoki keiki, he kanakolu; he kanakolu ko lakou poe kulanakauhale, i kapaia Havote-iaira, a hiki mai i neia la; aia no ma ka aina o Gileada.
5 When Jair died, he was buried in Kamon [city].
Make iho la o Iaira, a kanuia iho la ma Kamona.
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.
Hana hewa hou aku la na mamo a Iseraela, imua o Iehova, a malama aku la i na Baala, a me na Asetarota, a me na'kua o Suria, a me na'kua o Sidona, a me na'kua o Moaba, a me na'kua o na mamo a Amora, a me na'kua o ko Pilisetia, a haalele ia Iehova, aole i malama ia ia.
7 So Yahweh was very angry with them, and he allowed the Philistia and Ammon people-groups to defeat [IDM] the Israelis.
Wela iho la ka huhu o Iehova i ka Iseraela, a hoolilo aku la ia lakou i ka lima o ko Pilisetia, a i ka lima o na mamo a Amona.
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.
Ia kau, hoino mai la lakou, a hookaumaha loa i na mamo a Iseraela, he umikumamawalu makahiki, i na mamo a pau a Iseraela, ma ia aoao o Ioredane, ma ka aina o ka Amora, oia hoi ma Gileada.
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.
Hele ae no hoi na mamo a Amona i kela aoao o Ioredane, a kaua ae la i ka Iuda, a i ka Beniamina, a i ko ka hale a Eperaima; no ia mea, kaumaha loa ka Iseraela.
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.”
Hea aku la na mamo a Iseraela ia Iehova, i aku la, Ua hana hewa makou ia oe, no ka mea, ua haalele makou i ko makou Akua, a ua malama i na Baala.
11 Yahweh answered them, saying, “When the people of Egypt, and the Amor and Ammon and Philistia people-groups
I mai la o Iehova i na mamo a Iseraela, Aole anei na'u oukou i hoopakele, mai ko Aigupita mai? a mai ka Amora mai, a mai na mamo a Amona mai, a mai ko Pilisetia mai?
12 and the Sidon and Amalek and Maon people-groups were cruel to you, you cried out to me, and then I rescued you.
Hookaumaha mai no hoi o ko Zidona ia oukou, a me ka Ameleka, a me ka Maona, a hea mai oukou ia'u, a hoola mai au ia oukou; mai ko lakou lima mai.
13 But now you have abandoned me again, and you have been worshiping other gods. So I will not rescue you again.
Aka, ua haalele oukou ia'u, a ua malama i na'kua e; nolaila, aole au e hoola hou ia oukou.
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!”
E hele oukou, e hea aku i na'kua a oukou i koho ai; na lakou e hoola mai ia oukou, i ka manawa o ko oukou kaumaha.
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!”
I aku la na mamo o Iseraela ia Iehova, Ua hana hewa makou, o ka mea i pono i kou mau maka, pela oe e hana mai ai ia makou. Ke noi aku nei makou ia oe, e hoola mai ia makou i keia la wale no.
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.
Kiola aku la lakou i na'kua e, mai o lakou aku, a malama iho la ia Iehova; a menemene iho la kona uhane, no ke kaumaha nui o ka Iseraela.
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].
Akoakoa mai la na mamo a Amona, a hoomoana iho la ma Gileada; a akoakoa mai la na mamo a Iseraela, a hoomoana iho la ma Mizepa.
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].”
I ae la na kanaka, ka poe luna o Gileada hoi, kekahi i kekahi, Owai ke kanaka e hoomaka i ke kaua aku i na mamo a Amona? E lilo ia i luna maluna o na kanaka a pau o Gileada.
