Judges 10
1 After Abimelech, Tola the son of Puah, the son of Dodo, a man of Issachar, arose to save Israel. He lived in Shamir in the hill country of Ephraim.
Atafa Abimeleki panabwera Tola mwana wa Puwa, mdzukulu wa Dodo kudzapulumutsa Aisraeli. Iyeyu anali wa fuko la Isakara ndipo ankakhala ku Samiri mʼdziko la mapiri la Efereimu.
2 He judged Israel twenty-three years, and died, and was buried in Shamir.
Iye anatsogolera Aisraeli kwa zaka 23, ndipo anamwalira ndi kuyikidwa ku Samiri.
3 After him Jair, the Gileadite, arose. He judged Israel twenty-two years.
Atafa Tola panabwera Yairi wa ku Giliyadi, amene anatsogolera Israeli kwa zaka 22.
4 He had thirty sons who rode on thirty donkey colts. They had thirty cities, which are called Havvoth Jair to this day, which are in the land of Gilead.
Iyeyu anali ndi ana aamuna makumi atatu, amene ankakwera pa abulu makumi atatu. Iwo anali ndi mizinda makumi atatu mʼdziko la Giliyadi, imene mpaka lero ikutchedwa kuti Havoti Yairi.
5 Jair died, and was buried in Kamon.
Atamwalira Yairi anayikidwa mʼmanda ku Kamoni.
6 The children of Israel again did that which was evil in the LORD’s sight, and served the Baals, the Ashtaroth, the gods of Syria, the gods of Sidon, the gods of Moab, the gods of the children of Ammon, and the gods of the Philistines. They abandoned the LORD, and didn’t serve him.
Aisraeli anachitanso zoyipira Yehova. Iwo anatumikira Abaala ndi Asitoreti, milungu ya ku Aramu, Sidoni, Mowabu, Aamoni ndi Afilisti. Choncho analeka osatumikiranso Yehova.
7 The LORD’s anger burnt against Israel, and he sold them into the hand of the Philistines and into the hand of the children of Ammon.
Tsono Yehova anapsera mtima Aisraeli ndipo anawapereka mʼmanja mwa Afilisti ndi Aamoni.
8 They troubled and oppressed the children of Israel that year. For eighteen years they oppressed all the children of Israel that were beyond the Jordan in the land of the Amorites, which is in Gilead.
Iwowa anawagonjetseratu Aisraeli mʼchaka chimenechi, ndipo kwa zaka 18 anakhala akusautsa Aisraeli onse amene anali pa tsidya la Yorodani, mʼdziko la Aamori ku Giliyadi.
9 The children of Ammon passed over the Jordan to fight also against Judah, and against Benjamin, and against the house of Ephraim, so that Israel was very distressed.
Aamori anawoloka mtsinje wa Yorodani kukathira nkhondo mafuko a Yuda, Benjamini ndi Efereimu kotero kuti Israeli anavutika kwambiri.
10 The children of Israel cried to the LORD, saying, “We have sinned against you, even because we have forsaken our God, and have served the Baals.”
Kenaka Aisraeli analira kwa Yehova kuti, “Ife takuchimwirani popeza tasiya Inu Mulungu wathu ndi kutumikira Abaala.”
11 The LORD said to the children of Israel, “Didn’t I save you from the Egyptians, and from the Amorites, from the children of Ammon, and from the Philistines?
Yehova anawafunsa kuti, “Suja ine ndinakupulumutsani kwa Aigupto, Aamori, Aamoni ndi Afilisti?
12 The Sidonians also, and the Amalekites, and the Maonites, oppressed you; and you cried to me, and I saved you out of their hand.
Ndiponso pamene Asidoni, Aamaleki ndi Amoni anakuzunzani, inu nʼkulirira kwa ine suja ndinakupulumutsani kwa anthu amenewa?
13 Yet you have forsaken me and served other gods. Therefore I will save you no more.
Komabe inu mwandikana ndipo mukutumikira milungu ina. Choncho sindidzakupulumutsaninso.
14 Go and cry to the gods which you have chosen. Let them save you in the time of your distress!”
Pitani kalireni kwa milungu imene mwayisankha. Iyoyo ikupulumutseni ku mavuto anuwo.”
15 The children of Israel said to the LORD, “We have sinned! Do to us whatever seems good to you; only deliver us, please, today.”
Koma Aisraeli anayankha Yehova kuti, “Ife tachimwa. Tichitireni chimene mukuona kuti ndi chabwino, koma chonde tipulumutseni lero lokha.”
16 They put away the foreign gods from amongst them and served the LORD; and his soul was grieved for the misery of Israel.
Ndipo anachotsa milungu ya chilendo pakati pawo ndi kuyamba kutumikira Yehova. Ndipo Yehova anamva chisoni poona mmene Aisraeli ankazunzikira.
17 Then the children of Ammon were gathered together and encamped in Gilead. The children of Israel assembled themselves together and encamped in Mizpah.
Tsono Aamoni anasonkhana ndi kumanga zithando za nkhondo ku Giliyadi. Nawonso Aisraeli anasonkhana ndi kumanga zithando zawo za nkhondo ku Mizipa.
18 The people, the princes of Gilead, said to one another, “Who is the man who will begin to fight against the children of Ammon? He shall be head over all the inhabitants of Gilead.”
Kenaka anthuwo ndi atsogoleri a Agiliyadi anayamba kufunsana kuti, “Kodi ndi munthu wotani amene atayambe kuthira nkhondo Aamoni? Iyeyu adzakhala mtsogoleri wolamulira anthu onse a ku Giliyadi.”
