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.
阿彼默肋客之後，有依撒加爾人多多的孫子，普阿的兒子托拉起來整救以色列。他住在厄弗辣因山地的沙米爾，
2 He judged Israel twenty-three years, and died, and was buried in Shamir.
做以色列民長有二十三年之久，死後葬在紗米爾。雅依爾民長
3 After him Jair, the Gileadite, arose. He judged Israel twenty-two years.
在他以後，有基肋阿得人雅依爾興起，作以色列民長二十二年之久。
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.
他有三十個兒子，騎著三十四驢駒；他們有三十座城，這些城稱作哈沃特雅依爾，直到今日，都在基肋阿得地。
5 Jair died, and was buried in Kamon.
雅依爾死後埋葬在卡孟。以民犯罪受罰
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.
那時以色列子民又行了上主視為惡的事，事奉巴耳和阿市托勒特眾神，以及阿蘭的神，漆冬的神，摩阿布的神，阿孟子民的神，培肋舍特人的神；他們背棄上主，不事奉他。
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.
上主向以色列發怒，把他們交在培肋舍特人和阿孟子民手中。
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.
從那一年起，他們迫害壓制以色列子民，即所有住在約但河對岸，在阿摩黎人境內基肋阿得地方的以色列子民，一連十八年。
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.
阿孟子民也過約但河來攻擊猷大、本雅明和厄弗辣因家族；因此以色列人很是困苦。
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.”
以色列子民遂向上主呼籲說：「我們得罪了你，因為我們背棄了我們的天主，事奉了巴耳諸神! 」
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?
上主對以色列子民說：「當埃及人、阿摩黎人、阿孟子民、培肋舍特人、
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.
漆冬人、阿瑪肋人、米德楊人難為你們的時後，你們向我哀號，我豈沒有從他們手中拯救了你們﹖
13 Yet you have forsaken me and served other gods. Therefore I will save you no more.
但是你們背棄了我，事奉了別的神，因此我不再拯救你們，
14 Go and cry to the gods which you have chosen. Let them save you in the time of your distress!”
去呼籲你們所選擇的神罷! 讓他們在你們遭難時來拯救你們! 」
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.”
以色列子民對上主說：「我們犯了罪，你任意對待我們，只求你今日援救我們! 」
16 They put away the foreign gods from amongst them and served the LORD; and his soul was grieved for the misery of Israel.
以色列子民遂從他們中間除去外邦的神，而事奉上主；上主再不能容忍以色列受苦。
17 Then the children of Ammon were gathered together and encamped in Gilead. The children of Israel assembled themselves together and encamped in Mizpah.
那時阿孟子民集合在基肋阿得紮營，以色列子民也集合在米茲帕安營。
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.”
基肋阿得人民的首領彼此說：「誰開始攻打阿孟子民，誰就作全基肋阿得居民的首領。」
