Judges 10
1 And there riseth after Abimelech, to save Israel, Tola son of Puah, son of Dodo, a man of Issachar, and he is dwelling in Shamir, in the hill-country of Ephraim,
Efter Abimelek fremstod som Israels Befrier Tola, en Søn af Dodos Søn Pua, en Mand af Issakar, som boede i Sjamir i Efraims Bjerge.
2 and he judgeth Israel twenty and three years, and he dieth, and is buried in Shamir.
Han var Dommer i Israel i tre og tyve År. Da han døde, blev han jordet i Sjamir.
3 And there riseth after him Jair the Gileadite, and he judgeth Israel twenty and two years,
Efter ham fremstod Gileaditen Jair; han var Dommer i Israel i to og tyve År.
4 and he hath thirty sons riding on thirty ass-colts, and they have thirty cities, (they call them Havoth-Jair unto this day), which [are] in the land of Gilead;
Han havde tredive Sønner, som red på tredive Æsler, og de havde tredive Byer, som endnu den Dag i Dag kaldes Jairs Teltbyer; de ligger i Gilead.
5 and Jair dieth, and is buried in Kamon.
Da Jair døde, blev han jordet i Kamon.
6 And the sons of Israel add to do the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah, and serve the Baalim, and Ashtaroth, and the gods of Aram, and the gods of Zidon, and the gods of Moab, and the gods of the Bene-Ammon, and the gods of the Philistines, and forsake Jehovah, and have not served Him;
Men Israelitterne blev ved at gøre, hvad der var ondt i HERRENs Øjne, idet de dyrkede Ba'alerne og Astarterne og Aramæernes, Zidons, Moabs, Ammoniternes og Filisternes Guder og faldt fra HERREN og undlod at dyrke ham.
7 and the anger of Jehovah burneth against Israel, and He selleth them into the hand of the Philistines, and into the hand of the Bene-Ammon,
Da blussede HERRENs Vrede op mod Israel, og han gav dem til Pris for Filisterne og Ammoniterne,
8 and they crush and oppress the sons of Israel in that year — eighteen years all the sons of Israel [who] are beyond the Jordan, in the land of the Amorite, which [is] in Gilead.
som kuede og mishandlede Israelitterne i det År; i atten År kuede de alle Israelitterne hinsides Jordan i Amoritemes Land i Gilead.
9 And the Bene-Ammon pass over the Jordan to fight also against Judah, and against Benjamin, and against the house of Ephraim, and Israel hath great distress.
Og Ammoniterne satte over Jordan for også at angribe Juda, Benjamin og Efraims Slægt, så at Israelitterne kom i stor Nød.
10 And the sons of Israel cry unto Jehovah, saying, 'We have sinned against Thee, even because we have forsaken our God, and serve the Baalim.'
Da råbte Israelitterne til HERREN og sagde: "Vi har syndet imod dig, thi vi har forladt HERREN vor Gud og dyrket Ba'alerne!"
11 And Jehovah saith unto the sons of Israel, '[Have I] not [saved you] from the Egyptians, and from the Amorite, from the Bene-Ammon, and from the Philistines?
Men HERREN svarede Israelitterne: "Har ikke Ægypterne, Amoriterne, Ammoniterne, Filisterne,
12 And the Zidonians, and Amalek, and Maon have oppressed you, and ye cry unto Me, and I save you out of their hand;
Zidonierne, Amalekiterne og Midjaniterne mishandlet eder? Og da I råbte til mig, frelste jeg eder af deres Hånd.
13 and ye — ye have forsaken Me, and serve other gods, therefore I add not to save you.
Men I forlod mig og dyrkede andre Guder! Derfor vil jeg ikke mere frelse eder!
14 Go and cry unto the gods on which ye have fixed; they — they save you in the time of your adversity.'
Gå nu hen og råb til de Guder, I udvalgte eder, og lad dem frelse eder i eders Nød:"
15 And the sons of Israel say unto Jehovah, 'We have sinned, do Thou to us according to all that is good in Thine eyes; only deliver us, we pray Thee, this day.'
Da sagde Israelitterne til HERREN: "Vi har syndet! Gør med os, hvad dig tykkes godt, men frels os blot nu!"
16 And they turn aside the gods of the stranger out of their midst, and serve Jehovah, and His soul is grieved with the misery of Israel.
Og de skilte sig af med de fremmede Guder og dyrkede HERREN; da kunde han ikke længer holde ud at se Israels Nød.
17 And the Bene-Ammon are called together, and encamp in Gilead, and the sons of Israel are gathered together, and encamp in Mizpah.
Ammoniterne stævnedes sammen, og de slog Lejr i Gilead; også Israelitterne samlede sig, og de slog Lejr i Mizpa.
18 And the people — heads of Gilead — say one unto another, 'Who [is] the man that doth begin to fight against the Bene-Ammon? he is for head to all inhabitants of Gilead.'
Da sagde Folket, Gileads Høvdinger, til hverandre: "Hvis der findes en Mand, som vil tage Kampen op med Ammoniterne, skal han være Høvding over alle Gileads Indbyggere!"
