< 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.
Después de Abimelec, Tola, hijo de Púa, hijo de Dodo, varón de Isacar, quien vivía en Samir, en la región montañosa de Efraín, se levantó para librar a Israel.
2 He ruled the Israeli people for 23 years. Then he died and was buried in Shamir.
Éste juzgó a Israel 23 años y murió. Fue sepultado en Samir.
3 After Tola died, Jair, from [the] Gilead [region], became the Israelis’ leader, and he ruled them for 22 years.
Tras él se levantó Jaír galaadita, quien juzgó a Israel 22 años.
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’.
Tuvo 30 hijos que cabalgaban en 30 asnos y poseían 30 villas en la tierra de Galaad, que hasta hoy se llaman Villas de Jaír.
5 When Jair died, he was buried in Kamon [city].
Jaír murió y fue sepultado en Camón.
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.
Pero los hijos de Israel volvieron a hacer lo malo ante Yavé y sirvieron a los baales y a Astarot, a los ʼelohim de Siria, de Sidón, de Moab, de los hijos de Amón y de los filisteos. Abandonaron a Yavé y no le sirvieron.
7 So Yahweh was very angry with them, and he allowed the Philistia and Ammon people-groups to defeat [IDM] the Israelis.
Se encendió la ira de Yavé contra Israel y los entregó en las manos de los filisteos y de los hijos de Amón,
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.
quienes a partir de aquel año oprimieron y vejaron a los israelitas durante 18 años, a todos los hijos de Israel que vivían al otro lado del Jordán en Galaad, la tierra de los amorreos.
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.
Así que los hijos de Amón cruzaron el Jordán para combatir contra Judá, Benjamín y la casa de Efraín. Esto angustió mucho a Israel.
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.”
Entonces los hijos de Israel clamaron a Yavé: ¡Pecamos contra ti, porque abandonamos a nuestro ʼElohim para servir a los baales!
11 Yahweh answered them, saying, “When the people of Egypt, and the Amor and Ammon and Philistia people-groups
Yavé dijo a los hijos de Israel: ¿No los libré Yo de Egipto, de los amorreos, de los hijos de Amón y de los filisteos?
12 and the Sidon and Amalek and Maon people-groups were cruel to you, you cried out to me, and then I rescued you.
Cuando los sidonios, los amalecitas y los maonitas los oprimieron, y clamaron a Mí, Yo los libré de su mano.
13 But now you have abandoned me again, and you have been worshiping other gods. So I will not rescue you again.
Pero ustedes me abandonaron y sirvieron a otros ʼelohim. Por tanto, no los libraré.
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!”
¡Vayan, clamen a los ʼelohim que se eligieron! ¡Que ellos los salven en el tiempo de su angustia!
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!”
Entonces los hijos de Israel respondieron a Yavé: ¡Pecamos! Haz con nosotros lo que te parezca bien. Solo te rogamos que nos libres hoy.
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.
Apartaron los ʼelohim extraños de en medio de ellos y sirvieron a Yavé, y Él no soportó más la aflicción de Israel.
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].
Entonces los hijos de Amón se reunieron y acamparon en Galaad. También los hijos de Israel se reunieron y acamparon en Mizpa.
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].”
Y cada uno de los jefes del pueblo de Galaad decían a su prójimo: Cualquier hombre que comience la lucha contra los hijos de Amón será caudillo de todos los habitantes de Galaad.
