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.
ORA, dopo Abimelec, surse, per liberare Israele, Tola, figliuolo di Pua, figliuolo di Dodo, uomo d'Issacar, il quale dimorava in Samir, nel monte di Efraim.
2 He ruled the Israeli people for 23 years. Then he died and was buried in Shamir.
Ed egli giudicò Israele ventitrè anni; poi morì, e fu seppellito in Samir.
3 After Tola died, Jair, from [the] Gilead [region], became the Israelis’ leader, and he ruled them for 22 years.
E, dopo lui, surse Iair, Galaadita, il quale giudicò Israele ventidue anni.
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’.
Ed esso ebbe trenta figliuoli, i quali cavalcavano trent'asinelli, e aveano trenta città, che si chiamano fino ad oggi le Villate di Iair,
5 When Jair died, he was buried in Kamon [city].
le quali [sono] nel paese di Galaad. Poi Iair morì, e fu seppellito in Camon.
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.
E I figliuoli d'Israele continuarono a far ciò che dispiace al Signore, e servirono a' Baali, e ad Astarot, e agli iddii di Siria, e agl'iddii di Sidon, e agl'iddii di Moab, e agl'iddii de' figliuoli di Ammon, e agl'iddii de' Filistei; e abbandonarono il Signore, e non gli servivano [più].
7 So Yahweh was very angry with them, and he allowed the Philistia and Ammon people-groups to defeat [IDM] the Israelis.
Laonde l'ira del Signore si accese contro ad Israele; ed egli lo vendè nelle mani de' Filistei, e nelle mani dei figliuoli di Ammon.
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.
E in quell'anno, [ch'era] il diciottesimo, quelli afflissero ed oppressarono i figliuoli d'Israele, [cioè] tutti i figliuoli d'Israele ch'[erano] di là dal Giordano, nel paese degli Amorrei, ch' [è] in Galaad.
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.
E i figliuoli di Ammon passarono il Giordano, per combattere eziandio contro a Giuda, e contro a Beniamino, e contro alla casa di Efraim; onde Israele fu grandemente distretto.
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.”
Allora i figliuoli d'Israele gridarono al Signore, dicendo: Noi abbiamo peccato contro a te; conciossiachè abbiamo abbandonato il nostro Dio, e abbiamo servito a' Baali.
11 Yahweh answered them, saying, “When the people of Egypt, and the Amor and Ammon and Philistia people-groups
E il Signore disse a' figliuoli d'Israele: Quando voi avete gridato a me, non vi ho io salvati dalle mani degli Egizi, e degli Amorrei, e de' figliuoli di Ammon, e de' Filistei,
12 and the Sidon and Amalek and Maon people-groups were cruel to you, you cried out to me, and then I rescued you.
e de' Sidonii, e degli Amalechiti, e dei Maoniti, i quali vi oppressavano?
13 But now you have abandoned me again, and you have been worshiping other gods. So I will not rescue you again.
Ma voi mi avete abbandonato, ed avete servito ad altri dii; perciò, io non vi libererò più.
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!”
Andate, e gridate agl'iddii che avete scelti; salvinvi essi al tempo della vostra angoscia.
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!”
Ma i figliuoli d'Israele dissero al Signore: Noi abbiamo peccato; facci tu tutto quello che ti piacerà; sol ti preghiamo che tu ci liberi oggi.
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.
Allora tolsero gl'iddii degli stranieri del mezzo di loro, e servirono al Signore; ed egli si accorò l'animo per lo travaglio d'Israele.
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].
Or i figliuoli di Ammon si adunarono a grida, e si accamparono in Galaad. I figliuoli d'Israele si adunarono anch'essi, e si accamparono in Mispa.
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].”
E il popolo, [cioè] i principali di Galaad, dissero gli uni agli altri: Chi sarà l'uomo che comincerà a combattere contro a' figliuoli di Ammon? esso sarà capo a tutti gli abitanti di Galaad.
