And after Abimelech Thola the son of Phua rose up to save Israel, [being] the son of his father's brother, a man of Issachar; and he dwelt in Samir in mount Ephraim.
2 Enye ʋunudrɔ̃la na Israelviwo ƒe blaeve-vɔ-etɔ̃ eye esi wòku la, woɖii ɖe Samir.
And he judged Israel twenty-three years, and died, and was buried in Samir.
3 Ʋunudrɔ̃la si kplɔe ɖo lae nye Yair, ŋutsu aɖe si tso Gilead. Eya hã drɔ̃ ʋɔnu Israel ƒe blaeve-vɔ-eve.
And after him arose Jair of Galaad, and he judged Israel twenty-two years.
4 Via ŋutsu blaetɔ̃awo doa tedzi ɖia tsa eye du blaetɔ̃ nɔ wo si le Gileadnyigba dzi, afi si wogayɔna egbegbe be, “Yair duwo.”
And he had thirty-two sons riding on thirty-two colts, and they had thirty-two cities; and they called them Jair's towns until this day in the land of Galaad.
5 Esi Yair ku la, woɖii ɖe Kamon.
And Jair died, and was buried in Rhamnon.

And the children of Israel did evil again in the sight of the Lord, and served Baalim, and Astaroth, and the gods of Aram, and the gods of Sidon, and the gods of Moab, and the gods of the children of Ammon, and the gods of the Phylistines; and they forsook the Lord, and did not serve him.
7 edo dziku ɖe wo ŋuti. Etsɔ wo dzra na Filistitɔwo kple Amonitɔwo,
And the Lord was very angry with Israel, and sold them into the hands of the Phylistines, and into the hand of the children of Ammon.
8 ame siwo te wo ɖe to, gbã wo gudugudu. Hena ƒe wuienyi la, wote Israelvi siwo katã nɔ Yɔdan tɔsisi la ƒe ɣedzeƒe le Gilead, le Amoritɔwo ƒe anyigba dzi la ɖe to.
And they afflicted and bruised the children of Israel at that time eighteen years, all the children of Israel beyond Jordan in the land of the Amorite in Galaad.
9 Wogawɔ aʋa kpli wo le Yuda, Benyamin kple Efraim hã elabena Amonitɔwo tso Yɔdan tɔsisi la va wɔ aʋa kple Israelviwo. Nu sia yi edzi ƒe wuienyi sɔŋ
And the children of Ammon went over Jordan to fight with Juda, and Benjamin, and with Ephraim; and the children of Israel were greatly afflicted.

And the children of Israel cried to the Lord, saying, We have sinned against thee, because we have forsaken God, and served Baalim.
11 Yehowa ɖo eŋu be, “Ɖe nyemeɖe mi tso Egiptetɔwo, Amoritɔwo, Amonitɔwo, Filistitɔwo
And the Lord said to the children of Israel, Did I not [save you] from Egypt and from the Amorite, and from the children of Ammon, and from the Phylistines,
12 Sidontɔwo, Amalekitɔwo kple Maonitɔwo ƒe asi me oa?
and from the Sidonians, and Amalec, and Madiam, who afflicted you? and ye cried to me, and I saved you out of their hand?
13 Gake miegagblẽam ɖi enuenu eye miesubɔa mawu bubuwo eya ta mibu ɖa le ŋkuta nam! Nyemagaɖe mi akpɔ o.
Yet ye forsook me and served other gods; therefore I will not save you any more.
14 Miyi miado ɣli na mawu yeye siwo mietia! Mina woaɖe mi le miaƒe xaxaɣiwo me!”
Go, and cry to the gods whom ye have chosen to yourselves, and let them save you in the time of your affliction.
15 Israelviwo gaɖe kuku na Mawu be, “Míewɔ nu vɔ̃, he to na mí le mɔ ɖe sia ɖe si dze ŋuwò la dzi eye nàgaɖe mí tso míaƒe futɔwo ƒe asi me ko!”
And the children of Israel said to the Lord, We have sinned: do thou to us according to all [that is] good in thine eyes; only deliver us this day.
16 Israelviwo trɔ le mawu bubuawo yome eye wosubɔ Yehowa ɖeɖe ko. Woƒe blanuiléle do nuxaxa na Yehowa.
And they put away the strange gods from the midst of them, and served the Lord only, and his soul was pained for the trouble of Israel.
17 Le ɣe ma ɣi la, Amonitɔwo ƒe aʋakɔ ƒu asaɖa anyi ɖe Gilead hena aʋawɔwɔ kple Israel ƒe aʋakɔ le Mizpa.
And the children of Ammon went up, and encamped in Galaad; and the children of Israel were gathered together and encamped on the hill.
18 Gilead ƒe kplɔlawo gblɔ be, “Ame kae akplɔ míaƒe aʋakɔwo le aʋawɔwɔ kple Amonitɔwo me? Ame si akplɔ míaƒe aʋakɔwo la azu míaƒe fia!”
And the people the princes of Galaad said every man to his neighbour, Who [is] he that shall begin to fight against the children of Ammon? he shall even be head over all that dwell in Galaad.
