Judges 10
1 After Abimelech, Tola son of Puah son of Dodo, a man from Issachar who lived in Shamir, in the hill country of Ephraim, arose to deliver Israel.
Sesudah Abimelek meninggal, Tola anak Pua, cucu Dodo, tampil untuk menyelamatkan bangsa Israel. Dia berasal dari suku Isakar. Tempat tinggalnya di kota Samir, di perbukitan Efraim.
2 He judged Israel twenty-three years. He died and was buried in Shamir.
Tola memimpin bangsa Israel selama dua puluh tiga tahun sampai dia meninggal. Lalu dia dimakamkan di Samir.
3 He was followed by Jair the Gileadite. He judged Israel twenty-two years.
Sesudah Tola, tampillah Yair orang Gilead. Yair memimpin bangsa Israel selama dua puluh dua tahun.
4 He had thirty sons who rode on thirty donkeys, and they had thirty cities, which are called Havvoth Jair to this day, which are in the land of Gilead.
Yair memiliki tiga puluh anak laki-laki. Mereka masing-masing memiliki keledai tunggangan sendiri-sendiri. Setiap anak lelaki Yair juga memimpin sebuah kota di Gilead. Sampai saat kitab ini ditulis ketigapuluh kota itu disebut Permukiman Kaum Yair.
5 Jair died and was buried in Kamon.
Kemudian Yair meninggal dan dimakamkan di Kamon.
6 The people of Israel added to the evil they had done in the sight of Yahweh and worshiped the Baals, the Ashtoreths, the gods of Aram, the gods of Sidon, the gods of Moab, the gods of the people of Ammon, and the gods of the Philistines. They abandoned Yahweh and no longer worshiped him.
Bangsa Israel kembali berbuat jahat di mata TUHAN. Mereka menyembah berbagai macam dewa Baal, dewi Astoret, serta dewa-dewa bangsa Siria, Sidon, Moab, Amon, dan Filistin. Mereka meninggalkan TUHAN dan sama sekali tidak mengabdi kepada-Nya lagi.
7 Yahweh burned with anger toward Israel, and he sold them into the hand of the Philistines and into the hand of the Ammonites.
Maka TUHAN menjadi murka terhadap bangsa Israel lalu menyerahkan mereka kepada bangsa Filistin dan Amon.
8 They crushed and oppressed the people of Israel that year, and for eighteen years they oppressed all the people of Israel who were beyond the Jordan in the land of the Amorites, which is in Gilead.
Selama delapan belas tahun, kedua bangsa itu dengan kejam menindas orang Israel yang tinggal di sebelah timur sungai Yordan, yaitu di daerah Gilead, yang dulu dikuasai oleh raja-raja bangsa Amori.
9 Then the Ammonites crossed over the Jordan to fight against Judah, against Benjamin, and against the house of Ephraim, so that Israel was greatly distressed.
Bangsa Amon juga menyeberangi sungai Yordan untuk menyerang suku Yehuda, Benyamin, dan Efraim, sehingga orang Israel sangat menderita.
10 Then the people of Israel called out to Yahweh, saying, “We have sinned against you, because we abandoned our God and worshiped the Baals.”
Maka rakyat Israel berseru meminta tolong kepada TUHAN, “Ya Allah, kami sudah berdosa terhadap Engkau karena kami meninggalkan-Mu dan menyembah berbagai macam Baal.”
11 Yahweh said to the people of Israel, “Did I not deliver you from the Egyptians, the Amorites, the Ammonites, the Philistines,
Jawab TUHAN, “Berkali-kali waktu kalian ditindas, Aku selalu menyelamatkan kalian, baik dari bangsa Mesir, Amori, Amon, Filistin, Sidon, Amalek, maupun Maon. Saat kalian berseru kepada-Ku, Aku melepaskan kalian dari tangan mereka.
12 and also from the Sidonians? The Amalekites and the Maonites oppressed you; you called out to me, and I delivered you from their power.
13 Yet you abandoned me again and worshiped other gods. Therefore, I will not keep adding to the times I deliver you.
Tetapi karena kalian sudah meninggalkan Aku dan menyembah dewa-dewa lain, Aku tidak akan menyelamatkan kalian lagi.
14 Go and call out to the gods that you have worshiped. Let them rescue you when you have trouble.”
Pergi dan berserulah kepada dewa-dewa yang sudah kalian pilih itu! Biarlah mereka yang menyelamatkan kalian di saat tertindas!”
15 The people of Israel said to Yahweh, “We have sinned. Do to us whatever seems good to you. Only please, rescue us this day.”
Bangsa Israel berkata lagi, “Kami sudah berdosa. Lakukanlah terhadap kami apa saja yang Engkau pandang baik, tetapi tolong selamatkan kami kali ini!”
16 They got rid of the foreign gods among them and they worshiped Yahweh. Then Yahweh could bear Israel's misery no longer.
Kemudian mereka membuang patung-patung dewa asing dari antara mereka dan menyembah TUHAN. TUHAN pun berbelas kasihan melihat kesengsaraan bangsa Israel.
17 Then Ammonites gathered together and set up camp in Gilead. The Israelites came together and set up their camp at Mizpah.
Pada waktu itu, pasukan Amon sedang berkumpul untuk berperang melawan bangsa Israel. Mereka berkemah di Gilead, sedangkan bangsa Israel berkumpul dan berkemah di Mispa.
18 The leaders of the people of Gilead said one to another, “Who is the man who will begin to fight the Ammonites? He will become the leader over all those who are living in Gilead.”
Para pemimpin Israel dari daerah Gilead bersepakat, “Orang yang memimpin perang melawan bangsa Amon akan menjadi penguasa atas semua penduduk Gilead!”
