< 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.
Po Abimeleku powstał, aby bronić Izraela, Tola, syn Puy, syna Doda, mężczyzna z [pokolenia] Issachara. Mieszkał on w Szamir, na górze Efraim.
2 He ruled the Israeli people for 23 years. Then he died and was buried in Shamir.
Sądził on Izraela przez dwadzieścia trzy lata, po czym umarł i został pogrzebany w Szamir.
3 After Tola died, Jair, from [the] Gilead [region], became the Israelis’ leader, and he ruled them for 22 years.
A po nim powstał Jair Gileadczyk, który sądził Izraela przez dwadzieścia dwa lata.
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’.
Miał on trzydziestu synów, którzy jeździli na trzydziestu oślętach, a mieli trzydzieści miast zwanych do dziś Chawot-Jair, a [są one] w ziemi Gilead.
5 When Jair died, he was buried in Kamon [city].
Umarł Jair i został pogrzebany w Kamon.
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.
A synowie Izraela znowu czynili to, co złe w oczach PANA, służąc Baalom i Asztartom, bogom Syrii, bogom Sydonu, bogom Moabu, bogom synów Ammona i bogom filistyńskim, a opuścili PANA i nie służyli mu.
7 So Yahweh was very angry with them, and he allowed the Philistia and Ammon people-groups to defeat [IDM] the Israelis.
Dlatego gniew PANA zapłonął przeciw Izraelowi i wydał ich w ręce Filistynów oraz w ręce synów Ammona.
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.
Oni trapili i uciskali synów Izraela od tego roku przez osiemnaście lat – wszystkich synów Izraela, którzy byli za Jordanem w ziemi Amorytów, która jest w Gileadzie.
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.
Synowie Ammona przeprawili się też za Jordan, aby walczyć z Judą i Beniaminem, a także z domem Efraima, i Izrael był bardzo uciskany.
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.”
Wtedy synowie Izraela wołali do PANA: Zgrzeszyliśmy przeciw tobie, bo opuściliśmy naszego Boga, a służyliśmy Baalom.
11 Yahweh answered them, saying, “When the people of Egypt, and the Amor and Ammon and Philistia people-groups
I PAN powiedział do synów Izraela: Czy [nie wybawiłem] was od Egipcjan, od Amorytów, od synów Ammona i od Filistynów?
12 and the Sidon and Amalek and Maon people-groups were cruel to you, you cried out to me, and then I rescued you.
I od Sydończyków, Amalekitów i Mahanitów, którzy was gnębili? Gdy wołaliście do mnie, czy nie wybawiłem was z ich rąk?
13 But now you have abandoned me again, and you have been worshiping other gods. So I will not rescue you again.
Lecz wy mnie opuściliście i służyliście obcym bogom. Dlatego już was więcej nie wybawię.
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!”
Idźcie i wołajcie do bogów, których sobie wybraliście. Niech oni was wybawią w czasie waszego ucisku.
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!”
Synowie Izraela odpowiedzieli PANU: Zgrzeszyliśmy. Uczyń z nami, co wydaje się dobre w twoich oczach, tylko wybaw nas, prosimy, dzisiaj.
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.
Wyrzucili więc obcych bogów spośród siebie i służyli PANU, a [PAN] wzruszył się niedolą Izraela.
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].
Tymczasem synowie Ammona zebrali się i rozbili obóz w Gileadzie. Także synowie Izraela zebrali się i rozbili obóz w Mispie.
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].”
Wtedy lud i przełożeni Gileadu mówili między sobą: Kto pierwszy podejmie walkę z synami Ammona, ten stanie na czele wszystkich mieszkańców Gileadu.
