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.
Ie añe t’i Abimeleke, le nitroatse handrombake Israele ka t’i Tolà, ana’ i Poà, ana’ i Dodò, nte-Isakare; mpimoneñe e Samire am-bohi’ i Efraime.
2 He ruled the Israeli people for 23 years. Then he died and was buried in Shamir.
Nizaka e Israele taoñe roapolo-telo’ amby re naho nihomake vaho nalenteke e Samire ao.
3 After Tola died, Jair, from [the] Gilead [region], became the Israelis’ leader, and he ruled them for 22 years.
Ie añe, nitroatse ka t’Iaire nte Gilade le nizaka taoñe roapolo-ro’ amby.
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’.
Nanañ’ anadahy telo-polo re niningitse añ’ ana-borìke telo-polo, ie aman-drova telo-polo, o atao rova’ Iaire sikala henaneo; an-tane Gilade ao irezay.
5 When Jair died, he was buried in Kamon [city].
Nivilasy t’Iaire vaho nalenteke e Kamone ao.
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.
Nanao haloloañe am-pivazohoa’ Iehovà indraike o ana’ Israeleo ie nitoroñe o Baaleo naho o Hazomangao naho o’ndrahare’ i Arameo naho o’ndrahare’ i Tsidoneo naho o ‘ndrahare’ i Moabeo naho o ‘ndraharen’ ana’ i Amoneo naho o ‘ndraharen-te-Pilistio vaho naforintse’ iareo t’Iehovà, tsy nitoroñe aze.
7 So Yahweh was very angry with them, and he allowed the Philistia and Ammon people-groups to defeat [IDM] the Israelis.
Aa le nisolebotse am’ Israele ty haviñera’ Iehovà le natolo’e am-pità’ o nte-Pilistio, vaho am-pità’ o ana’ i Amoneo.
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.
Finorekekè’ iareo naho dinemo’ iareo taoñe folo-valo’ amby o ana’ Israeleo, toe o ana’ Israele alafe’ Iordaney an-tane’ o nte-Amoreo e Giladeo.
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.
Nitsaha’ o ana’ i Amoneo ka Iordaney hialy am’ Iehoda, naho amy Beniamine, naho amy anjomba’ i Efraimey, vaho vata’e nalovilovy t’Israele.
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.”
Nitoreo amy Iehovà amy zao o ana’ Israeleo, nanao ty hoe: Aman-kakeo ama’o zahay, fa niambohoa’ay t’i Andrianañahare’ay, vaho nitoroñe o Baaleo.
11 Yahweh answered them, saying, “When the people of Egypt, and the Amor and Ammon and Philistia people-groups
Aa le hoe t’Iehovà amo ana’ Israeleo: Tsy nirombaheko amo nte-Mitsraimeo hao naho amo nte-Amoreo naho amo ana’ i Amoneo, naho amo nte-Pilistio?
12 and the Sidon and Amalek and Maon people-groups were cruel to you, you cried out to me, and then I rescued you.
Niforekeke’ o nte-Tsidoneo ka, naho o nte-Amalekeo, naho o nte Amoneo le nitoreova’ areo vaho rinombako am-pità’ iareo.
13 But now you have abandoned me again, and you have been worshiping other gods. So I will not rescue you again.
Fe niambohoa’ areo, vaho nitoroñe ‘ndrahare ila’e; izay ty tsy andrombahako anahareo.
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!”
Akia koiho o ‘ndrahare jinobo’ areoo; angao handrombaha’ iareo amo hasotria’ areoo.
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!”
Le hoe o ana’ Israeleo amy Iehovà: Toe nanao hakeo zahay, ano ama’ay ze hatao’o soa; fa ehe hahao te anito.
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.
Aa le nadò’ iareo añe o ‘ndrahare ankafankafa añivo’ iareo ao, naho nitoroñe Iehovà; vaho niferenaiña’ ty arofo’e o nte’ Israeleo amo falovilovia’eo.
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].
Kinoik’ amy zao o nte-Amoneo naho nitobe e Gilade ao. Nifanontoñe ka o ana’ Israeleo le nitobe e Mitspà ao.
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].”
Le hoe ty nifanaontsia’ ondatio naho o roandria’ i Giladeo: Ia mb’ arè ty hiorots’ aly amo ana’ i Amoneo? Ie ty hatao lohà’ o hene’ mpimone’ i Giladeo.
